There is a teahouse in Chang'an East City, called: Junzi Building, since the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, there are often some new gadgets, and the captive pet birds that have been popular in Chang'an are gradually promoted from here.

Among the five squares under the management of the idle palace envoys, birds occupy four squares: carving workshop, falcon workshop, harrier workshop, eagle workshop, and the other square is the dog workshop. To say that this bird is favored, it is because the shopkeeper of Junzilou got a few rare birds from the people, which looked exquisite, and presented them to Li Er as a tribute, and Li Er was happy to set up Wufang.

The wind and wind have directly led to the popularity of bird breeding in Chang'an, which is enough to show the influence of Junzilou.

Today, there is a group of scholars gathered in the teahouse, many of them are students of Guozijian, there is no homework today, come out to drink tea, listen to books, chant poems, show elegant taste, after all, there is really no entertainment, the teahouse is one of the favorite places for these scholars.

The sun has just passed, the restaurant has just opened for a while, the first floor is already full of people, look at the momentum of this crowd, the second floor is almost full.

A scholar wearing a round-necked red robe entered the teahouse, looked around at many elegant seats, found a few scholars he knew, and hurriedly walked over and asked in surprise: "Brother Zhang, Brother Mo, why is this gentleman's building overcrowded now?" The little brother came a few days ago and remembered that the shadows were sparse, although it could not be said that the door was crowded, but it was very rare, and now it was just past the middle of the day, the little brother wanted to have a snack on the street, and when he saw the crowd pouring in, he came in to join in the fun. ”

When the scholars heard this, they laughed, and one of the scholars in the green robe and round collar laughed and said: "Brother Li has been studying in the school for a long time, and has never come out to look at the folk fabrication, this gentleman Lou got a strange book a few days ago, called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which can be described as a masterpiece of the world, a few days ago, the gentleman's building invited a gentleman to give a speech to the scholars, and it is the story of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is the story of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

When the young man in red and round collar heard this, he also looked forward to the strange book in the mouths of several scholars, found a seat on the side and sat down, ordered a pot of tea, and was ready to listen to what this strange book was like.

The teahouse was very fast, and before half of the time, the teahouse was full, and there were a few scholars who did not have seats, but wanted to listen to the Three Kingdoms, and they all stood in the corner.

Everyone sat down, and an old man wore a dark blue robe and walked up to the high platform in the middle of the teahouse, holding a book with a blue hardcover cover and a folding fan in his hand, and sat on the Hu chair on the high platform with great momentum.

"Last time, I said that the beautiful bearded prince rode alone for thousands of miles, and the five passes of Hanshou Hou beheaded six generals, and Guan Yu's martial saint was established, but it was said that among the generals under Cao Cao, from Zhang Liao, only Xu Huang and Yun Chang had a good relationship, and the rest were also respected; Du Caiyang is not satisfied with Guan Gong, so he heard it today, and wants to chase it" The old man shook his head on the high platform and read it, his tone was high and low, as if he had brought himself into the story, and many scholars in the audience were fascinated by it, and a magnificent picture scroll of the Three Kingdoms seemed to be laid out in front of him.

The scholar surnamed Li has been completely attracted by the storyline, the bland and boring characters in "Three Kingdoms" are like flesh and blood at this time, a Guan Yu is "the first strange person among the famous generals in ancient and modern times", and the description of strange things such as five passes and six generals is more exciting, and there are scholars in the audience from time to time to applaud, and the atmosphere of the entire teahouse is unusually high.

At this time, there was a small guy holding a pile of very thick and large papers, which seemed to be densely packed with words, bowed up to the stage, and quietly stabbed the old man who was commenting on the story.

As soon as the storytelling stopped, everyone looked towards the stage, only to see the little guy whispering something in the old man's ear, and then stood aside.

The old man picked up a large piece of paper, looked at it carefully, and nodded incessantly, as if he was attracted by the things on the paper. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly became chaotic, many scholars were a little indignant, and they were intoxicated in the Three Kingdoms, and they wanted to say what kind of Datang news was this, isn't this an extra move, some good people actually began to oppose it loudly, and many scholars stretched their necks to see what this Datang News was.

"Ahem" The old man cleared his throat, and the audience suddenly became quieter, "This "Datang News" is not about the old decay, but about the old decay of the current Holy Son of Heaven. The old man said that, and arched his hand in the direction of the imperial city.

As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly fell silent, which of the students of Guozijian did not study hard day and night, wanting to fight for an official and a half-position, and the object of their allegiance was naturally the Holy Son of Heaven in the imperial city, and now the Holy Son of Heaven issued an edict, and dared to say irresponsible remarks It was simply against their own future.

"Old decay, here are the latest newspapers and periodicals sold by the imperial court, three pennies a piece, if you want to buy a scholar, you can buy it from the hand." As he spoke, he handed the thick stack of newspapers on the table into the hands of the little servant.

Shizi is really a person who has read a book, although one by one is still scrambling, but the order is also in order, one by one after paying the money hurriedly took the newspaper over and looked at it carefully.

The scholar surnamed Li also hurriedly bought one, and he was now very interested in what His Majesty asked for to be released, and he couldn't wait to read the newspaper after taking it.

"Datang News: Datang ironmaking industry is developing rapidly, and the steel frying method and steel filling method have been popularized." The scholar surnamed Li saw that the first big title was this, and immediately felt in the clouds, and then looked down, "The Holy Son of Heaven Living Note: His Majesty the Holy Son of Heaven discussed things with the ministers in the Taiji Palace, and said: 'The heroes of the world have entered my world. "Qunchen He, the left servant shoots Fang Xuanlingyan" This paragraph of the Holy Son of Heaven's living and looking at the surname Li Shizi is a new flower, you can see the holy words of His Majesty between the lines, this is a great glory, and when I return to the country after a while, I must show off.

Continue to look down, "Overseas Knowledge: Niu Jinda appointed General Zhenhai and traveled overseas in search of high-yield crops. Taicang Wharf Warship Begins to Build" This overseas experience is also wonderful, and soon it was read on one side, and the scholar surnamed Li turned over and looked to the left, "The Law of the Tang Dynasty: His Majesty the Son of Heaven promulgated the new "Commercial Tax", and the merchant profited" "Customs and customs: Xu Xiaoyao, the heir of the Guigu Valley, got married today, and the wedding was held in Xujiazhuang, Zhongnan Mountain" "Advertising column: The glass, tea, and kouzijiao produced by the Liu family in Youzhou were all reduced in price by one percent, and the reward was returned. ”

At the same time, in Chang'an's Zhuque Street, Xuanwu Street, and various markets, children with stacks of newspapers appeared one after another.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! A piece of three money, there are the words and deeds of His Majesty the Son of Heaven, customs and customs, Datang news! Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Like a torrent, a new trend was quietly born in Chang'an, and the newspaper, an important carrier of mass communication that guides the direction of public opinion, was launched for the first time.
