Chapter Seventy-Two: To the Prime Minister's Mansion
The carriage drove outside the mansion, and Liu Sheng and Jia Fu got out of the carriage. Walk into the bedroom and take out the brocade box. Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng, and his tone was a little puzzled: "Brother Sheng, let's go like this?" Don't bring anything else."
"If things are as I think they are, this brocade box is the best gift." Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu with a smile. The battle for the storage position depends on what kind of weight it has, and the results will be known soon.
Jia Fu looked at the brocade box with a hint of interest: "You said that a person like Niu Bi can have any dust."
"Who doesn't have some, the past and their own little secrets. If we should know, we will know. If you shouldn't know, why bother asking for it." Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu and explained thoughtfully. Daoist Mingyi used to have a dusty relationship, and Brother Zhou didn't have a past. What about yourself? Perhaps the deepest. I just don't know that I came from another time and space. Here, God has given me another special mission.
Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng's appearance, listened to what he said, and couldn't bear it: "Okay, okay, every time you talk about them, you always look like a master of the world."
"Just thinking about it has no intention, let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu's complaints, and he had long been accustomed to them. After speaking, he strode out, and Yihun saw it in the courtyard, and hurriedly followed with a few guards.
Jia Fu saw Liu Sheng walking fast, and hurriedly followed: "Brother Sheng, you wait for me."
The carriage galloped down the street, followed by four horsemen. The Prime Minister's Mansion has arrived in a short time. Liu Sheng and Jia Fu got out of the car, and the guards in front of the door saw that the two were dressed extraordinarily, and asked: "Prime Minister's Mansion, you two, what are you doing here?"
"We have something to visit the prime minister, this is a famous post." Liu Sheng handed the two famous cards to the guard, and the guard took it and hurriedly ran into the mansion.
Watching the guards run into the mansion, Jia Fu was puzzled: "Why didn't Brother Sheng give a token, but it was a famous post, I'm afraid this door is not easy to enter."
"Not necessarily, you just have to be patient". Liu Sheng smiled slightly, and did not explain in detail.
Xu Yanping in the Prime Minister's Mansion had just finished handling some official business and was taking a break in the courtyard. The guards ran over and respectfully reported: "The prime minister has a guest visiting."
"Guest?" Xu Yanping got up from the Taishi's chair, and the guards hurriedly lowered the two name posts. Watching the famous post, I was puzzled for a while, "Liu Sheng, Jia Fu?" βγ
The housekeeper next to Xu Yanping felt that the name Jia Fu was very familiar: "Xiangye, is Jia Fu the owner of the Sparrow Newspaper." Recently, some things have to do with the newspaper."
"There are many imperial histories impeaching Yang Yong, the reason is that he came out for this newspaper, blocked the yamen of the Luoyang prefect, and affected the normal work of the yamen, how could the old man not know. Just weird? Why did you come to visit me today?" Xu Yanping was puzzled, seeing or not seeing.
The housekeeper thought for a moment and looked at Xu Yanping: "Xiangye still remembers, who made the Luoyang Prefect's yamen seal the newspaper."
"It seems that someone told the old man that it was King Yong's hand." Xu Yanping seemed to remember something, could it be another battle for the storage position? These people really don't give up.
Seeing that the matter had come to this, the housekeeper hurriedly said what he knew: "Some time ago, the villain heard some rumors. said that Jia Fu, the owner of the Sparrow Newspaper, had a lot of intersections with the East Palace, so King Yong took action to seal the newspaper."
"Donggong? It's another battle for storage positions, and it's not seeing. These small measurements, the old man is upset when he looks at them." Xu Yanping waved his hand without annoyance, when he saw the newspaper for the first time, he was looking forward to this newspaper. But I didn't expect to be involved in the battle of the storage position, if you don't do a good businessman, do you still want to be Lu Buwei?
The housekeeper looked at Xu Yanping and whispered comfort: "Xiangye, you should meet him, it is said that the Sparrow Newspaper has some relationship with the Ministry of Rites."
"Ministry of Rites?". Xu Yanping pondered for a moment and looked at the housekeeper. The housekeeper understood, hurriedly walked out of the house, and invited Jia Fu and Liu Sheng to come in.
"Brother Sheng, are you sure it's useful?" Jia Fu paced back and forth outside the mansion, looking at Liu Sheng in confusion.
As soon as the words fell, the housekeeper came over from inside and saluted the two: "My family is invited."
Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng and squeezed his eyebrows. Liu Sheng looked at it and shook his head, and the two followed the housekeeper into the mansion.
Xu Yanping asked the family to bring a bucket of water in the courtyard and began to water the flowers. The butler didn't speak, but stood respectfully. Liu Sheng and Jia Fu glanced at each other, but they were also silent, just watching.
After a short time to water all the flowers, the family hurriedly ran to take away the bucket. Xu Yanping turned his head and looked at the two of them. showed an expression of sudden realization, and hurriedly politely said: "This person has a bad memory when he is old, and he forgot that there are still guests, so don't blame him if he is lazy."
"How dare you, on the contrary, it is the master who is so good and elegant, which is enviable." Liu Sheng looked at Xu Yanping and knew it in his heart.
Xu Yanping was stunned for a moment and looked at the two: "Young people are so patient, I don't know what happened to you?"
"I don't know what Xiang Ye thinks of the Sparrow Newspaper." Liu Sheng looked at Xu Yanping and tried it.
Xu Yanping laughed and looked at Jia Fu on the side: "You are the owner of Sparrow Daily?"
"The boy Jia Fu is the owner of the Sparrow Daily." Jia Fu wondered.
Xu Yanping looked at Jia Fu puzzled, and his smile became a little thicker: "At first, the old man still had a little good impression and doubts about the daily newspaper."
"Confused? Please also ask the prime minister to say clearly". Liu Sheng hurriedly began to ask, with some doubts on his face.
Xu Yanping fell into deep thought and asked the question he had been thinking about for a long time: "Why is the price of your newspaper so low?" At first, the old man thought that you were just grandstanding. But then I found out that maybe this is not the case, but you have found a way to reduce costs."
"Xiangye's guess is right, we have found a new way to ......." Jia Fu saw Xu Yanping's contemplative face, and his heart was happy. I was about to talk about them one by one when I was interrupted.
Xu Yanping waved his hand: "The specific methods don't need to be explained, these are yours." If you tell me, you will tell the court quite a lot. It is not profitable for you, and it is not advisable to do so."
"Isn't it good to tell the court?". Jia Fu was puzzled, isn't it a blessing to the world to hand over such a thing to the imperial court? .
Xu Yanping smiled and explained: "You give these things to the imperial court, what do the people of the world think." They will only think that the imperial court will take it by force, so who else will think about it, how to innovate? . For the imperial court, what is the difference between the court and the people. We should protect and encourage such things, not take them by force."
"What Xiang Ye said, let me admire it." When Liu Sheng heard this, he admired it.
Xu Yanping seemed to remember something, and his words changed: "A good newspaper, if you don't do it, you will meddle in the battle for the storage position." Do you want to be LΓΌ Buwei? βγ
"Dare to ask Xiangye, when did we intervene in the battle of storage positions? If the newspaper has a few words, who does it favor? βγ Liu Sheng looked at Xu Yanping with a straight face.
Xu Yanping looked at Liu Sheng and shook his head: "It's really not, what you said is the truth." But it is rumored that you have a good relationship with the East Palace, didn't you make a secret move? βγ
"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. Isn't it too child's play to close a newspaper just by chasing after the wind and shadows?" Liu Sheng continued, arguing.
Xu Yanping thought about it for a while, and felt that what he said was reasonable: "What you said is reasonable, wait for the old man to let people know and unseal your newspaper."
"Just now, Li Miao, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, has gone to the prefect's yamen in person. The newspaper seal is unraveled, thank you for your concern". Jia Fu hurriedly explained.
Xu Yanping was puzzled, it wasn't the newspaper office, what was it: "What are you doing when you come to visit the old man?"
"Entrusted by others, I came to visit". Liu Sheng looked at Xu Yanping and hurriedly replied.
Xu Yanping was even more puzzled: "Old man?".
Liu Sheng was not talking, Xu Yanping only remembered at this time, they were still standing in the courtyard, and suddenly laughed: "Let's go, sit in the house."
Xu Yanping took Liu Sheng and Jia Fu to the living room, and the housekeeper hurriedly greeted the family and prepared refreshments.
