"Big brother, excuse me. Where are you going? ”

The traveler stopped, turned his head and replied: "Doctor Sun of Zhongnan Mountain is sitting in the Chengnan Pharmacy for consultation, and it is said that a thousand people can receive a free medicinal meal before a thousand, and everyone present can get the cooking method of medicinal food for free. ”

"There is such a good thing!"

The conversation between the two immediately attracted the attention of passers-by, who stopped and talked sideways. Similar scenes are constantly being staged in today's Chang'an City. In less than half a day, the Chengnan Pharmacy was already crowded.

Seeing the crowded scene in front of him, the ghost doctor muttered in a low voice: "I don't know how many nurseries Your Highness has spent money to hire, and so many people have come." ”

Wang Dahai on the side laughed in a low voice: "Mr. Ghost, what you said is not right. With the fame of Doctor Sun, His Royal Highness only does a little publicity, and naturally many people will come here. ”

"But...... So many people. The ghost doctor glanced at Wang Dahai and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness really plans to spread these medicinal recipes like this?" ”

"Didn't the gentleman say yesterday that this is a good deed that has been handed down to the world, why do you ask like this today?"

The ghost doctor shook his head and sighed softly. Looking at these recipes that were distributed for free, it was as if I saw a lot of silver thrown out, and my face suddenly ached.

At the beginning of the night, the snow falls on the treetops and the wind blows, the cold air condenses and frosts are cold to the bones, and the ice falls on the eaves.

In such bad weather, the enthusiasm of the people of Chengnan Pharmacy has not diminished by half. As the news of Sun Simiao's sitting here for consultation spread throughout Chang'an City, it was expected that in the next few days, it would become the center of a huge storm.

With Sun Simiao, Wang Dahai, and the ghost doctor and others sitting here, Tang Xiao didn't pay much attention to it. At this moment, he had already taken a carriage to the printing workshop under the name of Yunlan Pavilion, and he was accompanied by Liu Shuyi, the steward of Yunlan Pavilion.

On the carriage, Tang Xiao looked at Liu Shuyi with a gloomy face, silent. He already knew that the silver in Yunlan Pavilion's account was taken away by his imperial uncle, and in desperation, he was also deeply dissatisfied with the Liu steward in front of him.

The carriage was bumpy all the way, and Liu Shuyi's heart was also uneasy with the shaking of the carriage.

"Your Highness, this matter was specially ordered by His Majesty, and it was not deliberately concealed by His Majesty."

Tang Xiao waved his hand a little impatiently, and said coldly: "If this king doesn't ask, when does Steward Liu plan to hide this king!" ”

"Your Highness, I ......"

Tang Xiao raised his hand to stop speaking, and his tone was much calmer: "This king knows that you are also very embarrassed, but at least you have to let this king know earlier." When we first met, this king told you that this king has never been a stingy and sinister person. This king has no scruples to let you continue to take care of Yunlan Pavilion, is this how you repay this king's trust in you? ”

Hearing this, Liu Shuyi's heart was full of depression and grievances, he really wanted to tell King An Le in front of him that in Yunlan Pavilion, he was only an accountkeeper at best......

He sighed secretly, took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to Tang Xiao: "Your Highness, this is Your Majesty's secret decree. ”

Tang Xiao opened the envelope and looked at it, and the letter explained that the 500,000 taels of silver were secretly supplemented by military salaries, and comforted him. At the end of the letter, it was specifically mentioned that he should take the time to meet Liu Shuyi's father, Liu Zhaoren, revealing the importance of this old man.

After putting the letter away, Tang Xiao raised his head and asked, "Steward Liu, is Boss Liu in good health?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, my father's body is quite tough."

"I don't know if the boss will have time in the past two days, and this king wants to visit."

Hearing this, Liu Shuyi hurriedly said that he could do it at any time.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the printing shop, and the workers in the workshop were very busy. In a few days, the end of the month will come, and the new day of each month is the time when the monthly report is issued.

Newspapers have been around in Great Xia for three hundred years, and Tang Xiao naturally knows that this is also a product left behind by the ancestor of the Tang clan. However, even after 300 years, the newspaper still stays in the model of ten and monthly newspapers, and has not developed much. The reason for this is the complexity and backwardness of the printing process.

Tang Xiao has been working hard to improve the printing method over the years, but the effect is quite small. No matter how much the movable type printing technology was improved, it still could not achieve the efficiency of the daily typesetting and distribution of newspapers.

Thinking of the protagonists who founded daily newspapers at every turn in those time-traveling novels in their previous lives, Tang Xiao couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

As a second-generation wearer who has planted trees before, it is difficult to develop the daily newspaper model.

Tang Xiao, who has lived in this time and space for more than ten years, has already deeply felt that even if he has countless advanced technologies stored in his brain, even if he has a noble identity and rich wealth, it is really more difficult to achieve it step by step in such a backward environment in front of him.

Tang Xiao has now changed from the initial mentality of being full of enthusiasm and working hard to a normal heart, after all, all new things need a process of development, and this process is often long.

Even with Tang Xiao, a traverser, as a catalyst, its speed cannot change from an ox cart to an airplane all at once, at most it can only become an electric vehicle.

In the printing workshop, Tang Xiao handed over the article "On the Health and Medicinal Diet of Meat" written by Sun Simiao to the steward of the printing workshop, and asked him to typeset it as soon as possible and publish it in this issue of the monthly newspaper.

As an industry of Yunlan Pavilion, the monthly report issued by the printing workshop has been selling well. However, if you want to stand out from the various monthly newspapers and magazines in Chang'an City, you are still a little weak.

Walking around the printing workshop, looking at these backward equipment, Tang Xiao sighed secretly.

"Steward Liu, how many newspapers can the printing house publish each month?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the number of copies issued per month is between 60,000 and 80,000."

"So little." Tang Xiao frowned.

"Your Highness, compared to other newspapers, we are already very good. There are dozens of large and small newspaper offices in the city, and our printing workshop in Yunlan Pavilion only publishes monthly newspapers. As far as Liu knew, the Longxi Li family's newspaper office in Chang'an could only print and sell 130,000 newspapers every month, not to mention that they issued a ten-month newspaper, which issued three issues a month. There are also many small newspapers that only publish a few thousand copies a month, and it is a blessing not to lose money. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiao was a little surprised, and at the same time felt very ridiculous.

He didn't expect that there were dozens of newspaper offices in Chang'an City, and if it was calculated according to this situation, the sales of the monthly newspapers issued by Yunlan Pavilion were indeed good.

Although the elites of the family know very well that newspapers cannot be given up as the tongue of public opinion, and they would rather not make money or even lose money to run the newspaper, they do not understand that newspapers themselves cannot make money, and what can make money is the advertisements published in newspapers.

"Steward Liu, if you don't stop around the clock in the next few days, how many tens of thousands of newspapers can be printed on the first day of December?"

"Up to 150,000 sheets."

Hearing this answer, Tang Xiao shook his head and said, "It's too little, we have to find a way to print enough 500,000 copies." ”

Hearing this, Liu Shuyi suddenly panicked, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, don't do it!" You ......"

"Steward Liu." Tang Xiao opened his mouth to interrupt Liu Shuyi's words and said, "This king not only wants to print 500,000 copies, but also distribute them for free. ”

"This ......"

Liu Shuyi's eyes widened suddenly, and he felt that the world was spinning.

500,000 tickets are distributed for free! It would cost at least 10,000 taels of silver!

Is Your Highness stunned?
