"County Lord, he's writing again." A maid walked into the study with a letter in her hand.

"Show me it." Chai Yu, who was reading in the study, took the letter and opened it to see it. "If it's all flesh again, can't he have something practical?"

Although Zhao Weiji has been away from Bianliang for half a year, since the second month of his departure, he has written a letter back every ten days to tell Chai Yu about his life in Daizhou.

Although this girl was a single dead house in her previous life, she couldn't watch too many TV series, and she had never tried pork and seen a pig run away. It's easy to write some love letters, although it's enough for him to fool a girl in the twenty-first century with these love letters, but it's more than enough to fool a tenth-century chick. Moreover, in order to pick up girls, Zhao Weiji, who basically threw away the festival, also plagiarized a few poems from time to time, and later wrote the words of Nalan Rongruo, a great lyricist, in the letter.

Don't look at Chai Yu as a strong woman in business, but her love life is blank, how can she stand this kind of sensual love words, coupled with the bombardment of Nalan surnamed De's words. Now I want to get married immediately.

But Zhao Weiji's letters are not entirely trivial matters such as love and life, and his letters often give Chai Yu some business advice, as well as give some things from his later generations.

According to his suggestion, coupled with Chai Yu's excellent business operation ability, Chai Yu's industry now has the prototype of a business empire.

Her silk village is no longer a simple silk village, and now it has become a clothing group integrating silk sales, ready-to-wear sales, and ready-to-wear customization. And with the popularity of cotton products, silk has also been affected to a certain extent.

Although the upper class still preferred silk products, the middle and lower classes used cotton fabrics more. Moreover, cotton fabrics also have a warm surname that silk products do not have. The winter clothing market has basically been monopolized by cotton fabrics.

And Chai Yu relied on her keen business sense, and at the beginning of the impact on the silk business, she bought the industry of her original competitor, and successfully obtained the silk skills of the original opponent. After a period of time, the silk industry basically stabilized, and the original opponent's owner shouted that he was deceived.

is not only the experience of Chai Yu in the clothing industry, but also the tea house handed over to her by Zhao Weiji, she is also very good. Now Zhengshan Tea is no longer a simple tea house. Chai Yu followed Zhao Weiji's advice and developed the tea house into a chain business model. Now there are four in Bianliang City, one in the east, one in the south, one in the south, and one in the south. And not only Bianliang City, many big cities in the Great Song Dynasty have opened branches, including: Jinling (Nanjing), Chengdu, Hangzhou, Xiangyang, etc.

Zhao Weiji, who learned these news, couldn't help but sigh that this girl was really born in the wrong era. In such an era of heavy agriculture and suppression of business, she can make such achievements, if she lives in an era of extremely developed business in the future, I don't know if this girl will shock the whole world.

These things are no longer all of Chai Yu's industry, due to the continuous expansion of Chai Yu's industry, Zhao Weiji suggested that she extend her tentacles to other places. Combined with the actual situation of the society in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Weiji gave Chai Yu a suggestion: to start a newspaper.

In fact, since the Western Han Dynasty, China has had something similar to a newspaper: Di Bao. However, Di Bao did not publish a series of various articles such as news and people's livelihood like later newspapers. The Imperial Newspaper only published various policies of the imperial court, similar to the emperor's wills, edicts, and political information such as the recitals of the courtiers. In order to facilitate the local officials' understanding of the imperial court's policies and the control of the wind direction.

But the newspaper that Zhao Weiji was going to make was for all the literati and doctors to publish articles on it, whether it was a discussion of the imperial court's policies, or the poetry and songs of the literati, or even a novel. In short, as long as it is an article by a literati doctor.

Zhao Weiji is ready to use this newspaper to grasp the public opinion orientation of the entire Shilin. The reason why he dared to do this was also thanks to his cheap grandfather's legacy. Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, has three testaments: first, if the descendants of the Chai family are guilty, they must not be punished, and if they commit rebellion, they will be given everything in prison, and they will not be tortured and killed in the city, nor will they be allowed to sit in a subordinate position; 2. Do not kill scholars and doctors or those who write or write things; Third, the descendants have this oath, and the sky will be urgent.

Chai Yu came forward to set up newspapers and periodicals, so that the literati and doctors' remarks basically occupied these three articles, and Zhao Guangyi had no excuse even if he wanted to control it.

Moreover, for the convenience of newspaper printing, Zhao Weiji even took out movable type printing directly.

With the publication of this newspaper, called Shilin Yuebao, the entire literati class became a sensation. Zhao Weiji came completely in accordance with the rules of later newspapers, and all the selected articles were paid according to 50 yuan per 100 words. There is a place to make speeches and make money, and those who are not from very good families immediately began to submit articles.

Not only that, Zhao Weiji asked Chai Yu to cooperate with the major Qinglou in Bianliang City, and once the poem was written, he immediately asked the girls of these Qinglou to choose and sing. Moreover, once the poem is adopted by Qinglou, additional remuneration will be provided to the contributor.

Now these lyricist geniuses are also crazy, in this era, it is not a shame for the words you made to be sung by the girl of the Qinglou, but it is an extremely glorious honor. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Qinglou of this era is a place of cultural exchange. If you write a good word, it's common for those top girls to sleep for nothing. The model is the three changes of Liu Yongliu, a generation of talented people who were born in two years.

After more than a month of publication, Shilin Lai Bao has become an indispensable publication for the literati class. If you haven't read today's newspaper, then you will probably be ridiculed by your literati friends until you read the newspaper. If your article is published in a newspaper, you can show off to your friends for at least three days.

Of course, Zhao Weiji and Chai Yu's series of actions were all watched by one person, and that was Zhao Guangyi.

"Have these two kids come up with anything new lately?" Zhao Guangyi, who had just finished reading today's "Shilin Daily", asked Cheng An next to him.

"Recently, the shop in the Cheshire Lord's house has started selling glass products." Cheng An replied.

It turned out that at the beginning of this article, Zhao Weiji's letter to Chai Yu included a copy of the "Sideburns and Pine Order" plagiarized from Nalan, as well as a report on the firing method of glass. Chai Yu found someone to quickly make the glass according to the recipe, although it was not the completely colorless glass of later generations. Because the iron in the fired minerals has not yet been completely released, the current fired ones are a little greenish. But it's not easy.

As he spoke, Cheng An took a glass bottle that Chai Yu had paid tribute to and handed it to Zhao Guangyi.

After holding the bottle in his hand and playing with it, Zhao Guangyi said: "Weiji, this kid is really not simple, not only did he make so many things in Daizhou, but he didn't let go of the capital." Zhao Guangyi knew very well that behind this series of changes made by Chai Yu was Zhao Weiji's shadow. But because Chai Yu was in the foreground, he couldn't intervene in any way.

"Your Majesty, is it just like watching the career of the Lord of Cheshire and the Duke of Anding County grow bigger and bigger?" Cheng An was a little puzzled as to why Zhao Guangyi hadn't made any moves so far.

"No way, it's always the Lord of Cheshire who is standing in the foreground. Besides, if you look at what she made out, the newspaper is full of three of Taizu's testaments. I don't know how they learned about this Taizu's legacy. Looking at other things, the cotton industry and tea also have a royal dividend. This glass just came out, and people were already thinking about paying a tribute to the palace first. Eating people has a short mouth. What's more, people don't pay a penny of tax. During this time, there were ministers who wrote letters asking for the Lord of Cheshire to be commended as an example for the merchants. ”

In fact, the biggest reason why Zhao Guangyi has not suppressed Chai Yu and Zhao Weiji's industries for a long time is because these two people are very smart and did not touch Zhao Guangyi's bottom line. None of the commercial interests were involved in any way with the ministers of the DPRK and China. The only one implicated is Zhao Guangyi's own inner chamber. So Zhao Guangyi is quite relieved about this.

Some ministers in the DPRK and China here are not unaware of the benefits brought by Chai Yu's industries. But Chai Yu rejected all those who wanted a piece of the pie. Even if they were denied, the officials could not find any way to retaliate. First of all, they are descendants of the Chai family. Secondly, some of the people who control the "Shilin Newspaper" are literati writers, and any articles questioning you are enough for you to drink a pot. And then there is the fact that there is an emperor behind this industry who is a shareholder, and if you want to die, you can take revenge.

……

"Madam, this is the sales situation of Liuli in the market for ten days after it was produced."

"I said don't call me Mrs. yet, I haven't married your county prince yet, Ruxiang."

Now Rue Xiang has basically become Chai Yu's personal secretary, helping Chai Yu sort out the information of all his industries. And Li Jiguang's sister Xiaohua is even more amazing.

Chai Yu discovered that Xiaohua was born with a talent for clothes, whether it is the matching of colors or the design of styles, she has an extraordinary level. So now Xiaohua has basically become the chief designer of Chai Yu's ready-to-wear clothing. Now she is no longer called Xiaohua, Chai Yu named her Li Nian.

……

"Everyone has also seen the series of changes that have taken place in Zhao Song recently."

There was a large group of people in Han Derang's mansion in the Liao Xingjun Festival in Nanjing, Liao State, reading the information transmitted back from the Song Dynasty by Liao Guo's detailed work. The one who asked the question just now was Han Derang, the most powerful Hanchen of the Liao Empire.

Just when everyone was still analyzing the information, a person spoke: "I think that all these changes point to one person, and that is Zhao Weiji, the prince of Song Anding. It is suggested that Hosaku should be asked to investigate this person further. ”

"Well, that makes sense. I'll leave it up to you, Jerymus. Don't let me down. Han Derang said.

"Yes, it will definitely live up to the general's trust."

Just when Zhao Weiji was becoming more and more proud in the Song Dynasty, his name was completely targeted by the Liao State.
