'Whew, it's so cold, I want to go to a sauna.' Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info', a person with his hands in his hands along the flow of people, walking down the street. The snowflakes floating in the sky, today's Chang'an is snowing finely, one by one snowflakes are like winter elves, on the streets of Chang'an, naughty and playing with people, it will get into your collar, you don't tie your clothes properly.

It flickered in front of you, sometimes swirled in front of your eyes, fell gently, and the next moment, you found that it touched your cheeks, so that you could not ignore its existence all the time, adding a lot of festive atmosphere to this Spring Festival.

Of course, the people who buy New Year's goods on the street probably don't think so. For example, Li Si, in such weather, he walked on the street in order to purchase New Year's goods. But he was made by the cold, he just wanted to go to the sauna, although the family bought a coal stove, the hot water in winter is faster, but the hot hands and feet can be washed, wipe the body can be, want a little pot of hot water, comfortable to soak in, or don't think about it.

'It's the most comfortable to take the sauna in winter. Li Si thought about it, thinking of soaking in the big bathhouse, the whole body is warm, the bathhouse is wide enough to make people stretch their limbs comfortably, with a glass of sweet fruit wine, it is really the greatest enjoyment of life.

(I heard that this sauna is also very comfortable to soak in summer, and they say that cold springs will be launched in summer, and I don't know how to get cold springs.) From winter to summer. Although it is said that in the summer, as long as you go to the river to take a bath, it is also very cool and free.

But he was still looking forward to what the cold spring was like, and if it was really good, he didn't mind spending a little money to have fun. He does not deny that the sauna has become a part of his daily life.

'Coal stove, coal stove, Yangzhou Jiaji coal stove, quality assurance, come and buy, winter is coming, buy a coal stove to survive the winter. Walking in the West Market, close to the Spring Festival, the street is more prosperous, the coal stove has become the best-selling commodity in Chang'an this winter, and from time to time I see someone moving one.

Since it is a best-seller, the competition is also fierce, and some of them focus on buy two get one free. Some say that if you buy it, they will give you enough briquettes for a winter.

Li Si shook his head, these are all tricks to deceive people, buy two get one free, the price is very expensive, and the money for that one has already been counted in the first two. Otherwise, buy two and get a bag of briquettes

And sending enough briquettes for a winter is not much better, just a few catties. You use half a day, enough for three months..., and I don't know how these unscrupulous businessmen came up with these tricks.

If Li Chen had heard his heart, he would never have succeeded, these are all things he said. After modern times, all kinds of flower market promotions, just think about both are better than modern merchants. It's just that he didn't get complacent about it, there was nothing to be proud of about this kind of thing, and he even only used it in class, as an example, to ask students to be careful of being deceived. As a result, no one cares about it now, these hairy children, all tricks are used.

Anyway, they're not lying, it's just your own misunderstanding. Finally, they have not forgotten Li Chen's teaching, to be honest in business, this is honesty can last for a long time. So trick someone into buying it, at least before the other party buys it, he will make it clear to him, and he will only sell if he wants to buy it.

Li Si crossed the coal stove seller and continued to walk forward, "Selling newspapers, selling newspapers for ten cents a piece, ten cents a piece." A newsboy, with a stack of newspapers, stood not far away, shouting desperately.

(Newspapers, too, are something new.) Li Si leaned over and bought a newspaper for ten cents. As the only one who is slightly literate, and has been educated for a few years, reading this thing called a newspaper is his greatest pastime.

These businessmen's brains are moving so fast, Li Si thought. Newspapers have gradually entered the lives of ordinary people. It's similar to Di Bao, but it's not all Di Bao. The imperial court's official newspaper was not aimed at them at all.

Di Bao, also known as Di Bao, Di Banknote, Chao Bao, Article Newspaper and Miscellaneous Newspaper, originated in the Han Dynasty. Because during the Han Dynasty, the county system was implemented, and the area under the jurisdiction of the county was much larger than that of a province now.

In order to maintain the attention of the central government, each county has a residence in the capital division, which is responsible for copying those palace gate copies. What is the palace gate copy? It is about the edict of the Son of Heaven, the ministers' recitals, and the promotion and transfer of some officials. At first, after copying, it was pasted on the palace gate and copied publicly.

Sounds familiar? That's right, it's the official press conference anyway. But don't expect to see any speakers and answer your questions.

As soon as the palace gate is copied, the offices in Beijing will be copied immediately. Write down the message on silk or bamboo sticks. Then it was sent back to the county.

In the Tang Dynasty, this kind of thing was more common, and the envoys of various festivals and vassal kings in various places would set up a Shangdu Zhijin Concert Academy to be responsible for this matter. However, because of the appearance of engraving, the imperial court newspaper switched to engraving printing, which was large and fast, and they did not have to work hard to copy it. Just grab a copy.

However, even though it is very convenient to use engraving, no one has yet thought of popularizing the newspaper. Ordinary people will not pay attention, unless there is a tax increase, who will pay attention, those officials have to be promoted, appointed and dismissed, who will care about what the emperor does. This newspaper is a precedent.

I bought a newspaper, and it was quite thick, and there were actually three copies. Tsk, just these papers, although they are a little rougher, are more than ten cents. Li Si didn't rush to open it, sandwiched it under his armpit, and continued to buy his New Year's goods.

The things were almost bought, he clicked on it, and stuffed a lot of big bags and small bags on his body, including cloth, colored paper, Spring Festival couplets, and a few catties of meat, after confirming that it was correct, he walked into a tea shop, took out the money, and bought a small bag of tea.

When I returned home, my mother-in-law immediately took a few catties of pork and mutton to dispose of. He took a copper kettle, put it on the coal stove, boiled a pot of hot water, and threw the tea leaves into the teapot.

He was very careful and careful in the whole process. The tea leaves are all little by little, little by little, with a small spoon into the teapot. Make sure that the tea leaves are not exposed.

After making tea, he poured a small cup by himself, picked up the newspaper and spread it out, a pot of tea, a lone lamp, he sat at the table, carefully tasting the newspaper, he suddenly had a feeling that he seemed to be sublimated, there was a feeling that he was not going out, and he could know the world.

There is a feeling that lives in a humble room, but evaluates the world and points out the country, which is the feeling of the great sages of the ancients. Well, it's really enjoyable.

'Master, you bought the newspaper, read it to me?' However, this feeling was only for a moment, and a reckless child pounced on him and asked him to read the report to him, Li Si hurriedly protected the teapot and teacup.

It was very hot, but he was reluctant to let go, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he let go of the teapot, "How many times have I told you, when you are drinking tea, don't run around." This tea is so expensive, and the teapot is not cheap.

Li Si's heart ached.

But it can't be expensive, he liked the taste of new tea for the first time. Different from the traditional way of drinking with various ingredients, or Lu's way of drinking, he thinks that this kind of tea can only drink the real taste of tea. The fragrance and elegance of tea are all in a cup.

It's just that this new tea is too expensive and too little to make. They are all from the south of the Yangtze River, and the price of transportation to Beijing will be doubled, and the price of this kind of tea is naturally high.

Stabilized the tea, in order to avoid the leather monkey at home, the tea was overturned, he could only say, 'Good boy, you go and find a few more neighbors, and the master will read it to you together.' Oh, this is also the reason why he likes to read the newspaper, he can show off his ability to read and hyphenate, he didn't have much opportunity to show off before, but now it's just right, and there are often people who have the opportunity to show off. However, let's see it for myself first.

They were all waiting outside the door. The leather monkey pointed out the door, and several neighbors probed their brains, his face stiffened, and the skin monkey became more and more difficult to ignore. There was no way, everyone came, so he could only bring the teapot into the courtyard, and let the neighbors who listened to the newspaper for free set up a good table and chair for him, and he began to read the newspaper pretendically.

Today's newspaper is quite thick, Li Si spread out the newspaper, three newspapers, the paper is rough, yellow, and it feels okay to read. The first is the current affairs of the imperial court, and some officials are raised and lowered. Although the people didn't know any of them, they still heard and heard them with relish.

Then there are the parts they are interested in, the anecdotes that happened in various places, some sketch stories. In this age when information is not developed, a little thing can make them talk about it for a long time. Without him, the message is too slow and there are not many sources. Unlike later generations, a matter that was not paid attention to for a few days, and there was no follow-up development, and it was replaced by other events two or three days later.

So it's no wonder that this newspaper is so popular, and all kinds of news from all over the world have also opened their eyes or laughed.

After reading all the news, Li Si looked at the last one, which used to be only two in the newspaper. How did it be specially reprinted today. He spread it out and saw that it was full of news from various stores. Which store has a special price, which one advertises its products are good and the price is excellent.

Li Si was dumbfounded, is this okay? Originally, he didn't want to read it, but the neighbors who were in high spirits coaxed to listen, so he read it.

'West Market Zhang Ji Cloth Shop, New Year's Reward Special, comprehensive nine-fold. Those who come to buy with this newspaper can get a discount of 85%. East Market, Spice Shop, our store has a new kind of spices, perfumes are on the market, and you will fall in love with it as soon as you use it. After reading the advertisement, Li Si felt that this newspaper was too boring, and you even posted the news of other people's special prices.

Finally, I read the newspaper and sent the people away, and the leather monkey came over again, "Master, I heard that this year's exorcism is particularly exciting, you can take me there." Our whole family went. ’

'What's so exciting, it's not like that every year. ''It's different. Hearing the father's perfunctory, the child excitedly said, 'This year is different.' Okay, let's go. (To be continued.) )
