Chapter 266: Di Bao
In the late autumn of this year, Chang'an, it's chaotic! After the Xie Xiaoyue incident in Jiangnan, Baili Mansion became popular again!
Everyone was talking about the Dawning Academy opened in Baili Mansion, and for a while, Dawning Academy became a hot topic. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
That's right, it's the Dawning Academy that opened in the first place.
Originally, this academy had already been built, but unfortunately it was not the right time to catch up, and Bailiyun happened to go on an expedition to the south of the Yangtze River. When he came back, he was depressed for a long time, and even the poetry meeting that he had promised to start was delayed. If it weren't for Yu Shinan helping, those Qingliu literati would have made a fuss a long time ago!
But it's not too late, at this time, just after the harvest, everyone is bored, and it can be regarded as adding a conversation point after tea.
It stands to reason that in fact, things like the academy have nothing to do with ordinary people. But who is called Bailiyun is extraordinary! He boasted about Haikou at the beginning, saying that to run Shuguang Academy, he only needed to spend a certain amount of money, and he could enter the house to study if he proved that he was talented, and he would give priority to the children who worked in Baili Mansion.
But he missed one point, that is, because of the existence of Liu San, a big housekeeper who used to do human trafficking, there are basically not many families with children in Baili Mansion. In other words, many people do not enjoy the original benefits at all.
Therefore, as a last resort, after seeking Yu Shinan's opinion, Shuguang Academy decided to relax certain restrictions on the children of the poor family, as long as they have the most basic ability to read and hyphenate and are more able to keep up with the regular progress, they will be allowed to make an exception to be admitted to the academy.
It was a normal decision, but now, something has changed.
That is, Bailiyun suddenly used this as an excuse to announce that he would apply printing and papermaking in advance to better serve the majority of students, and officially opened the Chang'an Shuguang Di Newspaper.
Yu Shinan, the old man, is reliable and reported to Li Shimin as soon as possible. His Majesty Li Er was very appreciative, and praised the newspaper, and specially approved the opening of the newspaper.
At this point, Datang's first unofficial circulating newspaper appeared!
From the first edition, it officially entered the eyes of the elite of high society.
In the first edition, as a test of the waters, Bailiyun just asked Yu Shinan to check and selected some more representative literary allusions and celebrity representative poems for publication.
The response has been great!
In these years, paper is the most expensive, let alone books, if anyone has tens of thousands of books, it goes without saying that the last time is also a small noble family, without a certain amount of family resources can not be purchased.
Therefore, as soon as the newspaper came out, which was cheap and had a wide circulation, all the children of the poor family applauded. Finally, there is a way to learn knowledge relatively easily, a few people get together, and the Shuguang Di newspaper for eight cents is still bought, which is much better than going to a rich and noble house to copy books with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.
One edition in three days, during this period, Bailiyun continued to slowly add new plates to test the waters, from poetry and songs, to national facts, and then to the deepening of more professional government affairs and policies.
Until three days ago, Bailiyun officially published the supplement of Shuguangdi Daily, "Once Upon a Time in Chang'an". A large number of Chang'an dynamics have been added to it, including people's livelihood, celebrity deeds, and some lace news.
The storyteller who bought the Di newspaper used the content of this past in Chang'an as a substitute and recited it to receive the remuneration of the listener.
It's okay at first, after all, these days, there are too few literate people, and everyone doesn't understand what this mansion newspaper is, and they always feel that it doesn't seem to be as good as those mysterious legends.
But slowly, some idlers heard the doorway, and found that many of the contents in the past of Chang'an are very close to life, all of which are the little things that happen every day in everyone's life, with common sense of life, the latest official policies, and the lace news in the mansions of famous nobles.
In this world, there is no shortage of idle people, a few big mouths preach, listen to books, or spend money to listen to the newspaper gradually increased, up to all levels of officers, idle noble children, down to the three religions and nine streams, peddlers and pawns.
Half a month's work, the past of Chang'an has spread in the gossip of the masses in Chang'an at an extremely hot speed, if you haven't heard a few Di newspapers, you are embarrassed to talk to others when you go out, because everyone is discussing the content of yesterday's new edition of Di Bao, I don't know if you can't interject at all.
Even, Yu Shinan, the general director of Di Bao, suddenly reluctantly discovered one day that the circulation of the sub-edition of Chang'an Past was even more than that of the genuine Shuguang Di Bao.
After all, in this world, there are still a few learned people, not many people care about what strategy poetry, and more people care about these trivial things that happen around them every day.
For example, according to the latest news, the price of rice in Chang'an will continue to decline in the next month. For another example, Zhao Daguan in the west of Chang'an City was just thirty years old and couldn't do it, so that his wife Hongxing went out of the wall and cuckolded him. In addition, Chang'an has recently opened a large number of brand new stores, which sell good and cheap things, which greatly facilitates people's daily life!
However, unlike the happiness of the people of Chang'an, the main affairs of the Taiyuan royal family in Chang'an are about to go crazy!
Originally, he also wanted to say that he would go and see what good things those newly opened stores were selling, which one came from, and whether he could make a profit from the Wang family, maybe the business would be good, and the head of the family would promote him!
So he asked his subordinates to investigate, who knows, this investigation, but almost scared him stupid!
It turned out that those newly opened stores, without exception, were all opened opposite the Wang family's store in Chang'an, and they were very symmetrical. However, whether it is style, freshness, or practicality, the goods in the store opposite are more than ten times better than what they sell themselves, or even cheaper, and they are two streets away!
So much so that the rustic people of Chang'an chose the goods of the new store very wittily after the comparison was discovered. After just a few days, the stores are all facing a bleak business crisis, and if this goes on like this, I'm afraid something big will happen!
Originally, according to the past practice, this kind of thing, the Wang family has always been not afraid, moving with affection, knowing with reason, treating it with fists and feet, a set of combination punches, no one dares to carry it and shout at the Wang family.
But this time was different, Wang found that all the previous routines seemed to work. Because, the opponent turned out to be the upstart family Baili Mansion that is currently rising in Chang'an, and these are all Baili Yun's industries. (To be continued.) )
