Nowadays, the business club has become a must-visit attraction in Chang'an, and some people of the same status will go to the business club in Xishi to invite friends from afar.

Since Li Er enjoyed a pedicure on the third floor of the club last time, he ran here even more if he had nothing to do, so that Cheng Chumo and Baolin left a pedicure room for Li Er alone.

At this time, Li Er was wearing a white Arowana suit, his trouser robe was flirtatious, and he was soaked in a large orange wooden barrel below his calf, and a sweet-looking woman was pinching his feet very seriously.

Standing next to him was a eunuch in a black robe, not with white eyebrows and white hair, but with an eagle-eyed eunuch.

"Your Majesty, Hou Xuyang of Chang'an County asks to see you." Hawkeye listened to the secret words of a small eunuch who entered the room, and then said to Li Er, who was lying on the bed.

"Oh, let him in." Li Er said lazily while lying on the health bed that was neither wide nor narrow.

Without a report, Hawkeye personally went out and took Xu Yang into the house.

To say that the luxury of this private room is definitely one of the best, and they are also very handy in the line of patting the horses, the health bed made of golden silk nan wood is covered with soft cashmere cotton, although the room is not big, but the exquisite Cheng dù is definitely not picky.

Seeing Li Er lazily lying on the bed receiving foot therapy, Xu Yang hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Weichen participates in His Majesty." Although Li Er was wearing a white dragon fish suit, it was still polite to be polite in this kind of private occasion.

"No courtesy." Li Er's face was full of enjoyment, and it seemed that this slave who pinched his feet was very much in line with his heart, "Why did Xu Aiqing come?" "Li Er rarely has such a lazy time, dealing with political affairs all day long, only come to the club every day to enjoy the comfort of soaking his feet, this day is comfortable, if he doesn't soak his feet, he feels that the day is not boring.

"Back to Your Majesty, the kid came this time to say two things."

"Say."

"Hehe, one thing is that the coal mining team recruits people, now the basic number has been recruited, Chang'an County, Lantian County, Wuwei County, the three counties have recruited a total of more than 3,400 people, and more than 2,000 logistics people, and now the coal producer has also been found, I don't know when the construction can start." Xu Yang asked expectantly.

"Since the time and place are in harmony with the people, and it is not enough to start work soon, I am also looking forward to the industrial production you are talking about, just like the steam car you are riding, and now Qingque Gaoming asks me every day when I can go out of the palace to study with you, and I know that the two of them must not be looking for you to study, but to see those strange inventions." Li Er said as he lay on the bed with his eyes fixed on the ceiling.

"I now believe more and more that you are from the Ghost Valley, and the shadow guard has been searching in Youzhou for several months after you left, asking for your news, but you seem to appear in Datang out of thin air, do you know that the only earliest news about you that can be investigated is that on the county road in Caijiazhuang, Shandong, you stopped the Liu family's carriage on the county road for the first time wearing overseas clothes." Li Er seemed to be questioning something, as if he was talking to himself.

Xu Yang was a little sweaty when he said this, of course he couldn't find out his own affairs before, and he crossed over from there.

Li Er didn't seem to have the slightest intention of stopping, still talking to himself: "Your inventions are always so earth-shattering, although the world can't see clearly, but I can see clearly, glass, tea, restaurants, mahjong, bicycles, these are affecting the Tang Dynasty all the time, but I can't find the harmful side of these things." Now there are 12 shops in the 36 squares of the city began to change the glass windows, the tea is sold all over the Tang Dynasty, the bicycle has slowly begun to popularize, and even the steam car that swallows black smoke has appeared, the most terrible thing is that two days ago I heard that the eldest grandson Wuji adopted your steelmaking method, and now the ironmaking department can actually produce 300 catties of pure iron per day, and can quickly become a steel weapon, I heard that if the eldest grandson wants to build several large blast furnaces outside Chang'an City, once the daily output of 1,000 catties of pure iron is not an exaggeration, these are unheard of events in ancient times, But under your hands, it will be light, the last time I met the Taoist Yuan Shoucheng, the Taoist told me that you are the heir of the King James who wandered in the Ghost Valley, and even a disciple with world-beating martial arts was called to you as a bodyguard, you say, what other magical things do you have in the Ghost Valley. ”

Li Er's words can be described as frank and honest, and he even said that he would send someone to investigate Xu Yang, which also means that after this conversation, Xu Yang's identity will be completely recognized by the emperor.

"Back to His Majesty, the minister studied from the Ghost Valley, the astronomical geography of the things he learned, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, up and down the millennium of learning, it can be said that they are proficient, these things have infinite wonders for my Datang, not to mention the ironmaking of thousands of catties per day, I feel that there are a lot, the demand for iron production in the future will far exceed the imagination of His Majesty, this is the best era, Datang is developing at a high speed, in the face of foreign enemies eyeing each other, I Datang urgently needs to quickly strengthen himself, and now the minister wants to propose a new research institute, For the invention of all kinds of novelties provided to His Majesty. Xu Yang also said diligently.

"Hmm." Li Er nodded lightly, his eyes blazing: "This is indeed the best era, under my leadership, I want to make the people of the world prosperous, let my soldiers and horses all over the world, your research institute is accurate, but I need to send some Wuli Sima to oversee, as for the location, you can choose at will, as long as it is near Chang'an, I can open the door for you." ”

After a conversation, the two guests of honor were very satisfied, Li Er instructed Hawkeye to serve twice as good wine, the wine in the business club was all good wine, and the taste was very mellow, the two guests of honor were very happy to drink, Li Er didn't say a few words of wine like 'drink win'.

After three drinks, both of them were slightly drunk, to say that Datang dared to drink like this with Li Shimin, except for Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong's old subordinates, Xu Yang dared to drink with him like this, after all, as a modern person, he has a very thorough understanding of imperial power, and he is not very afraid of the aura of Emperor Li Er.

"Boy, you just told me about two things, one is coal mining, and the other is what?" Li Er asked drunkenly.

"Oh, the other thing is that Wechen wants to ask for a newspaper." Xu Yang rubbed his eyes and said.

"What to do?"

"The newspaper is a piece of paper, on which are written the current decrees, the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the customs and customs, and the hot current affairs, which are sold to the people every day, so that the people can know the dialogue in the court, and your command and speech."

Xu Yang said this, which made Li Er's eyes light up, he is an emperor who is very happy, and he has always been obsessed with Mount Tai Feng Zen in history, which is enough to show how much Li Shimin wants future generations to remember him, this newspaper sounds very interesting.

"If the people hear what the court says, is there something wrong with it?" Li Er pondered for a moment and asked.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this at all, the final recipients of your decree are the people, it is a good thing for you to let them know the dynamics of the court's policy, for example, what was said at this Weichen court, which family in Guanzhong has more than 20 chickens and ducks, Hou Xuyang of Chang'an County will distribute the consistent money, if the imperial list is posted, the people will know very little about this news, and it will be very slow, but the newspaper is different, this thing can be printed in large quantities, almost one copy per person, so that the people know your decree, so that it can be better implemented."

After listening to this, Li Er looked like he was enlightened, nodded and said, "As you kid said, print the first volume of the newspaper first to see the situation, and if the effect is good, I will consider adopting it." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Yang nodded vigorously very unproductively, Li Er didn't know how powerful this thing was, could Xu Yang not know, as a modern person in the era of the information explosion in the 21st century, mastering media propaganda is mastering the mouthpiece of public opinion, which is even more powerful than a flood beast.

"I wonder if you have any good names to give this newspaper a name?"

"I don't know much about it, what do you think is a good name?"

"How is Datang News?"
