Chapter 248: Li Ke Visits
Li Hao remembered that he had heard a sentence in his later life, but unfortunately that sentence was used as a slogan. "The world is ours and yours, but in the final analysis, it still belongs to you, you young people are full of vitality, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning."
"As long as they can survive safely and have enough knowledge, it is not impossible for southerners to occupy some weight in the Tang Dynasty in the future. When the time comes, after the assassin returns to Chang'an, remember to bring the teenagers here to make it possible for this side to develop better. ”
The education here is really the credit of Li Hao and the two assassins here. The teenagers in those schools will be the main force to inherit their ideas in the future, and as long as these teenagers are mixed out, their team will become stronger and stronger in the future.
Li Hao has his own mansion in Guangzhou Mansion, and it is also a luxury villa. After he returned here, he immediately invited all the officials of the high level here to have a meal, and then provided some money to those officials at the bottom as a year-end bonus, so that they could have a good Spring Festival comfortably.
This habit started in Quanzhou Mansion, and naturally it can't be left behind in Guangzhou Mansion, even if it doesn't comply with the rules, this Li Hao has to smooth out this time. After all, the officials on the Guangzhou side have done a good job this year, and Li Hao has never treated his subordinates badly.
It's just that these money are all kinds of income from the government here, and it is not Li Hao's own private pocket. This year is actually not much for Li Fu's industry in the south. In many places, they are joint ventures, plus upfront investment, so they don't make much money, but the investment is greater than the income.
But for Li Hao in the new year, this is the time to really show his talents. The preparations for several big projects have been made, just waiting for the Spring Festival to be launched immediately, these are the projects that really attract money, and it is not difficult to make money.
"Brother Xian! Long time no see! At this time, Li Ke secretly followed the carriage of the merchants in Tanzhou and came to Guangzhou Mansion. Li Hao had just asked someone to bring him tuna and other seafood, and after eating it, this guy couldn't sit still.
Of course, in addition to this problem, in fact, Li Ke has more things to discuss when he comes over this time. These things are more important, and the people around Li Ke can't help him. If it weren't for various restrictions, he really wanted to go to Guangzhou Mansion every month, and being with Li Hao would be of great help to his vision and knowledge.
Because of the construction of the cement road on both sides, from Tanzhou Mansion to Guangzhou Mansion, if they take a four-wheeled carriage to travel day and night, they only need two days and two nights to reach Guangzhou Mansion. If you are riding a horse alone and changing horses along the way, you can reach it in one day and one night. This is much faster than before, and it also makes it a lot easier for the merchants in Tanzhou to run here.
The cane sugar produced in Lingnan, as well as all kinds of fruits and all kinds of seafood, can be quickly transported to Tanzhou or further north. In the same way, it is much easier to transport things from the north to the south, which speeds up exchanges between the Lingnan side and other places.
This road also made Li Ke understand the situation on this side of Lingnan Road very timely, what delicious seafood is here, and it is not difficult for him to eat it in Tanzhou. How Li Hao is doing here, Li Ke is also very clear. However, it was still difficult for him to come over.
Although over the years, some people around Li Ke have been squeezed out of the inner circle by him intentionally or unintentionally, and some of his secret income and connections are now avoiding some people. This made Li Ke have more capital than the original history, but these are not enough, he needs more capital and strength to do it.
Although those people who were squeezed out of the inner circle by him, Li Ke did not dare to kick these people out completely, otherwise it would make others suspect others. So Li Ke is just loose with restrictions, not so free, and there are people around him staring.
"Brother Xian, you have been staying in Lingnan Road for this year, and you don't know the situation in Chang'an, and the things over there are getting more and more serious." After Li Ke came over, Li Hao asked people to prepare a lot of fresh seafood and special food here, ready to entertain this delicious guy.
"Wouldn't that be nice? The more complicated the situation is on the Chang'an side, the less you will be noticed. Thanks to them, I was worried that I would be remembered after I came here, but now that they are tossing who is the emperor's business, I am much safer. That's good, make a fortune with a muffled voice! ”
Li Hao smiled after hearing this, the more those guys fought, the happier Li Hao became. Anyway, they fought back and forth, and in the end, no one became the emperor, but cheapened a guy who had been pretending to be timid and honest, so Li Hao was not worried at all.
"It's good for me, but if they really want to make a fuss, I'm afraid it will kill a lot of people. And they are still princes after all, such a fight will only disrupt the normal order of this country. ”
Li Ke was a little hesitant, not knowing if he was going to remind those guys not to make trouble at this time. However, he also knew that even if he reminded him, those people would not necessarily be obedient, and they would even doubt Li Ke.
"Look at it, your identity is too sensitive to those things, and if you really get involved, I'm afraid there will be no good consequences. At most, after the incident, you tell the emperor to be merciful, don't kill a lot of people at every turn, this is too heavy! ”
Li Hao thought about it, except for using his foresight to do certain things, he really didn't have any advantage in other aspects, so he could only propose to kill fewer people. If this kind of thing were Xiao Wu by his side, that girl has a good talent.
"What's the matter with your Nanfang Daily? Why do I always feel like this plan is not right? This newspaper is in your hands, if you report something bad in the newspaper and make the emperor unhappy, then the emperor is not going to kill you? ”
Li Ke's words have more than this meaning, he also has another meaning that he didn't say. That is, if Li Hao has two hearts, he can use the newspaper to spread rumors that some things about the emperor and the Tang Dynasty are not good to come out to build momentum for his two hearts, which can fool many people.
This is a very taboo thing, so Li Ke instinctively felt that this thing might not work. It's just that Li Ke didn't think about it because he had told him about the importance of public opinion because Li Hao, but at this time, others didn't think of this, and they would only pay attention to this when they saw the true power of the newspaper.
Moreover, Li Hao made a cover for his newspaper, which only reported some orders issued by the imperial court, and then explained Tang Law to all. The rest is about how the people farmed, how they did business, and some vernacular and stuff.
In terms of political matters, Li Hao is not ready to let this newspaper get involved, especially the matter of the struggle for the throne. Otherwise, this newspaper will not only have to be finished, but many officials in the south will also follow suit, and Li Hao does not want to see this result.
"This newspaper is still more attentive, don't be used by people with intentions, otherwise it will be easy to become a lever to attack you. Although the south of the Yangtze River is all controlled by you and me, it is not excluded that some people with intentions will be mixed in. ”
Lee smiled and said he accepted the idea. Although the Tang Dynasty does not have any freedom of public opinion now, the Tang Dynasty did not prosper because of words like the Pigtail Dynasty, so it is good to play a side game and not discuss the government indiscriminately, this is not a taboo.
For example, publicize the industry in the south, the actions of officials in the south, Yuehailou and Deyuefang, as well as mirror perfume and other things, and then tell some small truths, small stories, jokes or something. In this way, the newspaper not only publicized the products of all its industries, but also enriched the entertainment life of the people in the south.
Seeing that Li Ke still looked worried, Li Hao smiled and asked Wu Shun to take out the model newspaper he had made. The layout of this newspaper is somewhat exaggerated, and the main page introduces a bit of outdated political news, talking about some of the various policies introduced by the imperial court.
Then he praised Datang Li Er is a generation of famous masters, and under his wise leadership, what kind of achievements Datang has achieved. Anyway, as long as you praise Li Er, don't throw all the money into it, so that the court of the Tang Dynasty can't grab the pigtails of this newspaper, right?
Then a separate page was devoted to some new poems and new words, as well as a new serial, a page to introduce the economic situation in the south, the new food and wine in Yuehailou and Deyuefang, and various discounts. The last two pages introduce the woman's flower costume and the perfume mirror, each with an introduction and a twisted and moving story.
A total of six layouts are arranged like this, no way, this is still a new thing, and you have to try the water of Datang. How receptive they are to emerging things, whether they are good or not, it will have to be tested by the market to know, which is not something that Li Hao can predict now.
Only when the education for all that we have vigorously promoted has been vigorously developed, will we not have to worry about these problems. The first edition of the Southern Newspaper was printed in 50,000 copies, and these newspapers supplied all the government offices in the south, as well as places like schools and restaurants in some towns.
Two copper plates per copy, so that the newspaper actually doesn't make much money at all. But what is taken into account here is the market to test the waters, and if it is really successful, it will not be a share of 50,000 shares. There is also the charge of the newspaper advertising position is income, which is the real source of income for running a newspaper.
Li Ke's eyes lit up after seeing this thing, he is a literate and literate person, so he naturally understands the value of this thing. Originally, he couldn't see anything on Li Hao's first version, obviously Li Hao himself had already thought of these problems, this guy was really good at shooting the emperor's ass.
