Chapter 129: Sixth Brother, What Do You Think of Me?

Li Shimin encountered a troublesome matter, if he did not handle it well, it was likely that a war would break out, but the Tang Dynasty, which had just destroyed Goguryeo, was also empty in treasury and could not start this war at all, which made him extremely troubled. Li Su saw that Li Shimin had something on his mind, so he asked himself if he could help?

Although Li Shimin knew that his son was good at managing money, he thought that there were many things pressing on Li Su now, and that troublesome thing was only possible to break out into war, and now there was still room for maneuver, so he still said: "It's nothing, it's just a little trouble, you still have to run the newspaper first, and then assist Fang Xuanling and them, and put the five surnames and Qiwang to suppress industry and commerce!" ”

Li Su knew that the emperor's father was also thinking about himself, so he didn't ask more, and after chatting about business, he told Li Shimin that he was about to have a son, as a father, Li Shimin was naturally happy for Li Su, and he didn't keep him anymore, so Li Su quickly told Concubine Yang the news.

However, when Li Su rushed to Wangyun Palace, Li Zhi had already reported the news to Concubine Yang, and as a result, Concubine Yang was ecstatic and rewarded Li Zhi with a lot of good things. Looking at Concubine Yang's excited appearance, it is estimated that if it weren't for her physical inconvenience, I am afraid that she would have run directly to Li Su's mansion and see her unborn grandson with her own eyes.

After instructing Li Su, Concubine Yang uncharacteristically did not let him stay by her side for a while, but asked him to go back to the house immediately to take care of Xijun's mother and son, and also warned Li Su that no matter how busy he usually was, his grandson must be taken care of, if something went wrong, she would definitely not be able to spare Li Su.

For Concubine Yang, she forgets her son when she has a grandson. Li Su also has a bit of slander. It's a pity that Concubine Yang is an older pregnant woman now, and she definitely can't be offended, so she has to endure it. And you have to endure with a smile on your face, and you must not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Li Su, who was driven out by Concubine Yang, didn't take a few steps before he was entangled by Li Zhi again. I saw this kid smile and said, "Sixth brother, I heard that you have made another Datang Daily?" ”

"That's right, what are you asking for?" Li Su looked at Li Zhi, who was already as tall as his chest, and asked with some doubts.

"Hehe~" Li Zhi showed a slightly embarrassed smile and said flatteringly, "Sixth brother, the newspaper has just been established, and there must be a shortage of manpower, what do you think of me?" ”

Li Su was wondering in his heart. I've known Li Zhi for so long, and I've never seen him embarrassed, but after hearing his words. But he was so shocked that he even stopped. Then he turned around and looked Li Zhi, who was still a child, up and down, and couldn't help but say, "Ninth brother." You're not kidding, are you? ”

"No kidding, of course!" Li Zhi said seriously, "Since the newspaper is run by the sixth brother, you must also know that the people in the newspaper are all talented and learned, and they write articles and discuss current affairs every day." I, the idle prince, have nothing to do every day, and I don't want to die studying, so I might as well go to your newspaper, even if I can't write articles, but the so-called close to Zhu Zhechi, mixed with a group of talented people every day, can not only increase knowledge, but also hear many different opinions, which is much more useful than reading. ”

When Li Zhi said this, he suddenly showed a sly smile and said: "In addition, in addition to forcing me to study every day, my uncle also let me know more about the major affairs of the court and the people, and the newspaper office happens to be a place where current affairs gather, if I stay there every day, presumably my uncle will not force me to study every day!" ”

After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Li Su immediately gave a thumbs up to this younger brother who was seven years younger than himself, worthy of being a person who could be an emperor in history, he could think of such a subtle method at a young age, although it was to be lazy, but just this delicate mind and clever reaction were enough to make many adults willing to lose.

Although it is a bit of a child's play to let a ten-year-old child enter the newspaper office, he is not expected to write articles anyway, so he should open Li Zhi's eyes, and in the next period of time, Li Su is estimated to stay in the newspaper office all day, after all, the four strategies he offered, and the newspaper to assist in publicity, this matter is too important, and he is not at ease when handed over to others. When the time comes, it will take Li Zhi by himself, and it will not take much effort. Thinking of this, Li Su nodded in answer.

"Great, I finally don't have to be forced to study!" Li Zhi was excited, and the truth in his heart immediately blurted out, but he reacted immediately, smiled cheekily at Li Su, and said loudly, "Sixth brother, I will go to you early tomorrow morning, remember to wait for me!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Su to answer, turned around and ran away.

Looking at the appearance of his younger brother, Li Zhi shook his head and smiled, although Li Zhi usually has more eyes, thicker skin, and changes his face faster than others, but if he gets along well, people will find that in fact, Li Zhi is also a person who is affectionate, but he grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, which makes him more precocious and vigilant than his peers at a young age. But as long as you can treat him sincerely, he will also repay him with sincerity.

Xijun is pregnant, although she is only a Confucian, but after all, this is Li Su's first child, so many people who learned the news came to the door to say hello to Li Su, and presented a lot of gifts to the unborn child, and what made Li Su depressed was that these gifts were all for boys.

In fact, these can also be understood, after all, this is in ancient times, the idea of patriarchy is not ordinary, whether it is Xijun or Concubine Yang, they all believe that this child is a boy, if someone changes in front of them to say that this child is a girl, it is like a curse, and there is absolutely no good end. It's just that in comparison, Li Su prefers that this child is a girl, firstly, he likes it personally, and secondly, if the eldest son is not a descendant, it is easy to have problems in the future. Of course, he only dared to think about these in his heart, and never dared to say it.

Daoxi's people are naturally indispensable to Cheng Huailiang and Li Jingye, who are fox friends and dog friends, originally they wanted to pull Li Su to get drunk to celebrate. But Li Su didn't have time to fool around with them, and the newspaper office was still waiting for him to take charge. Cheng Huailiang and the others also knew the importance of this matter from their parents, so they didn't entangle, but they had to wait for the child to be born and make up for it.

The newspaper office of Datang Daily is located in Shengye Fang, adjacent to Anxing Fang, where Li Suwang's mansion is located, and the east market is in the south, and next to the east market, it is the most lively and most concentrated area of literati in Chang'an, that is, the famous Pingkangfang. When it comes to Pingkangfang in Chang'an City, it is estimated that everyone will think of the same place, that is, a brothel.

Speaking of Pingkangfang, it has to be mentioned as the administrative center of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu Province, Shangshu Province is in the east of the imperial city, so the lifters, officials, selections, etc., who enter Beijing, are mostly concentrated in Chongren, Pingkang and other workshops that are very close to Shangshu Province. Because Chongrenfang was next to the imperial city, it was forbidden to open brothels, so Pingkangli became the largest red light district in Chang'an City.

Shengye Fang is next to Chongren Fang, and Pingkang Fang is also diagonally opposite, because of the seriousness of Datang Daily, it naturally cannot be compared with the red light district located in Pingkang Fang, Chongren Fang has too many government agencies, in order to maintain the apparent independence of Datang Daily, so it is not easy to set up there, so Shengye Fang, which is closest to the two Fang, has become the only choice.

There are also a lot of readers in Shengye Fang, and it is opposite to the East Market, the most in the Fang is the inn, and the merchants who live here are all from the south to the north, so it is also a place where information gathers from all over the world. The newspaper office of Datang Daily is located in the center of Shengye Fang.

Originally, Li Zhi wanted to avoid the persecution of the eldest grandson Wuji, but because the newspaper had just begun, and Li Su had an heir, there had been people visiting the house, so it was not until a few days later that Li Su took Li Zhi and others to the location of Datang Daily, and the newspaper office had already been prepared and was about to start publishing the first issue of the newspaper.

I came to the newspaper office in the center of the Shengye Place. The newspaper is a big house, it used to be a wealthy businessman's residence, but the other party left Chang'an due to business changes, so the house was sold and bought by Li Su as a newspaper. Because of the limited time, Li Su did not make major changes to this house, and although the former owner of the house was a businessman, he was also regarded as an elegant person.

Entering the house, passing through a winding path, soon arrived at the main hall of the whole house, here is the largest building in the whole house, and it is also the workplace of the newspaper building.

Take Li Zhi into the main hall, only to see that the original spacious hall has been divided into small single rooms by different styles of screens, in addition to a desk and chair in the single room, there is only one bookcase with a lock, usually the staff are working in their own small single room, there is something to discuss with other people, but if there are more things to talk about, it is best to go to the pavilion outside, so as not to disturb others.

In the right corner of the main hall, there are two single rooms separated by the largest screen, which are the offices of Yanbei and Li Ke, who are now the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Li Ke is very interested in the newspaper, so he has been here to help from the beginning, so he also has his own office, just because of his noble status, it is really not good to hold any actual position.

When Li Su arrived, Yan Bei and Li Ke were discussing the layout and content of the first issue of the newspaper, and they were very excited when they saw him, and they didn't bother to greet Li Zhi, and immediately handed over the agreed draft of the newspaper to Li Su and asked him to look at it first.

Li Su was also a little excited to take the first newspaper of Datang, but when he saw the content on it, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and his face was also gloomy.
