Volume 1: Who Breaks Through the Void by the Stars Chapter 368 Smile at each other and ask about the old story
Du Fu hid his heart, and after leaving Chen Xilie's Mansion, he didn't leave in a hurry, and after finding an excuse to break up with his companions, he stayed alone in front of Chen Xilie's Mansion. After a while, the king came out in a rage, and when he got into the carriage, he scolded the coachman.
Du Fu hesitated for a while, and then came to Chen Xilie's door again, the man knew him, and said with a smile: "Why is Du Langjun here again?" ”
The doorman's words were very disrespectful, but Du Fu could only swallow his anger and arch his hand: "I just saw Dr. Wang rushing out angrily, and I was a little curious, could it be that Dr. Wang and the prince are not on good terms?" ”
The man was a rapper, and Du Fu used the arch phone to make a gesture and stuffed a small amount of money into his hand, and the man smiled and said, "Du Langjun has a heart...... It's not that I'm not on good terms with my husband, I heard it as if he was cursing Ye Chang, who is said to have broken his son's leg. ”
"Then why did he run to Chen Xianggong's side to be angry" Du Fu pretended to be angry: "I really don't know what to say."
"Then you don't need to ask, naturally I came to find Chen Xianggong to help him out of this evil breath, but how can my Xianggong be such a person?" When the doorman said this, he said hello, and Ren Dufu refused to open his mouth no matter how he asked him.
If Du Fu had a lot of money in his hand, he might be able to buy him to speak, but Du Fu's current economic situation is not good, so he can only give up.
He couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, how Ye Chang was an enemy everywhere, and then he felt funny, why would he worry about Ye Chang. He and Ye Chang had already cut off their robes, and later they still remembered their old feelings, and once secretly warned Ye Chang, and in the next few years, they had no contact with Ye Chang, so was it necessary to care about his safety?
"I just don't want to see a good ruler who is truly for the people, but bad in the hands of scum like the king, who only knows how to exploit the people......" he comforted himself.
But deep down, he knew that he was just deceiving himself. At the beginning, the two turned against each other because of Li Yong's affairs, but time has changed, and after such a long time has passed, especially after Li Shizhi and others were defeated, Du Fu vaguely felt that Li Yong, who was regarded as a virtuous old man, may not really be a sage in the world, but more likely to be a person who sells his reputation and reputation. He regretted it more than once in his heart, just for one Li Yong, he would turn against Ye Chang, who had always treated him well and respected him, which was really stupid at that time.
When he entered Chang'an this time, he was still living in the house of his brother Du Wei, but because Li Linfu was about to go east, Du Wei's house was also panicked, and he returned to the house and no one paid attention to him.
"Where's Aaron?" He saw that Du Wei's house was in chaos and there was no one to manage it, so he asked a servant.
"Lang Jun has gone to see Ye Lang, and he hasn't returned home yet." The servant said.
Du Fu pursed his lips and sighed secretly, this is the tree falling and scattering, he has also heard in the past few days that Li Linfu's sons will naturally move east with their father to serve the sick, and the sons-in-law have their own plans, and even have disputes with each other. Especially Yang Qixuan, he even openly visited Yang Zhao, and his intention to take refuge was undisguised.
How Du Wei will choose, Du Fu doesn't know how to go.
"After all, I still don't have enough knowledge, if I have enough knowledge, there will always be a day to get ahead...... Ye Shiyi's books have hidden mysteries, I should figure them out and try to learn something from them. ”
Thinking of this, he went back to his lodgings and closed his door to study. In the afternoon, I heard someone outside: "Is Brother Zimei okay?" ”
This voice was somewhat familiar, Du Fu thought about it for a while, his wife Yang was originally reading on the side, and got up at this time: "Do you want to meet a guest?" ”
"Yes...... Is it Ye Eleven? Du Fu thought about it, and suddenly remembered that this voice was in the morning, and he had heard it before, it was Ye Chang's voice
He got up, but sat down again, his hesitation overflowing.
His wife, Yang, is the daughter of Yang Yi, the son of Sinong Shaoqing, who is beautiful and virtuous, and has not had many good lives since marrying him. But Yang is smart, and from Du Fu's hesitation, he knows that Du Fu is still a little unable to wipe his face. She whispered, "How can it be rude to be here?" Lang Jun has a clear conscience, why is he afraid to see it? ”
Du Fu nodded, and then smiled bitterly, he really didn't dare to say that he had a clear conscience.
He got up and pushed the door, stood in front of it, and looked out of the courtyard. This is a small courtyard in Du Wei's mansion, narrow and remote, but fortunately quiet, just what he wants. The courtyard gate is now hidden, and the voice inside is about heard outside, and Ye Chang's voice sounded again: "Brother Zimei, junior brother Ye Chang, come to pay respects, please don't hesitate for a while."
With a long sigh, Du Fu stepped forward, opened the door, and waved his hand: "An dare to bother Ye Zhongcheng to visit."
"Brother Zimei, you say one more 'Zhongcheng,' Ye turned around and left, I don't dare to see Brother Zimei in this life" Ye Chang said with a straight face.
Du Fu sighed again: "Chang Ran...... It's something wrong. ”
This is a pun, he can't wipe his face after all, and apologizes directly to Ye Changdao for what happened at the beginning, so he uses this incident to admit his mistake.
Ye Chang seemed to not know what to do, and stepped forward with a smile to hold his arm: "Brother Zimei is hidden on my brother-in-law's side, but he is hiding me so hard, I heard that Brother Zimei has added a liner last year, and the foolish brother has not given a congratulatory gift, so he must make up for it today."
As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him, and Du Fu saw someone present a box, and suddenly changed color: "Ye Shiyi, don't ...... it."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Chang interrupted him: "Knowing that my brother has a noble character, I don't dare to defile my brother's eyes with a vulgar thing, my brother will look at it." ”
Ye Chang opened the box, but there were only a few books inside, and a set of children's paintbrushes made in Liaodong - in order to facilitate children to practice painting and writing, Liaodong specializes in this kind of paintbrush, which can be used in sections by section by only planing, and there are several colors, which have been popular in the world in recent years, but the price is still a little too expensive.
Those books are also picture books for children to enlighten, the top half is paintings, and the bottom half is text. Take a closer look, it is also the "Three Character Classic" that has been popular in recent years, but it is the first time I have seen the Three Character Classic.
"This ...... This ......"
The original refusal was swallowed back, and Du Fu smiled bitterly again.
He didn't know how many times Lu Dao smiled bitterly today, he could only say that Ye Chang was too shrewd, and he took into account all the small problems that others couldn't consider.
Bringing books and pens to the younger generations of his children and nephews, which one of them can refuse such a gift? And Ye Chang hurriedly interrupted his words, lest he say something like refusing gold and silver, and it also seemed that he himself lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"Could it be that the two of you are talking here?" Du Wei Dao behind Ye Chang.
He looked a lot more relaxed now, and he thought that he had already made up his mind about where he would stay or not.
"Please come in, please come in"
The two of them were invited into the house, and the hall was a little simple, but the three guests and hosts were seated, and it was not cramped. The Yang family came up to serve tea, and Ye Chang hurriedly got up and saluted: "Ye Chang visits his sister-in-law"
Yang returned the courtesy, just greeted him, and then retracted back into the back room. Ye Chang looked at her clothes, which were very simple, and then looked at Du Fu, the clothes were also old, and he knew that his current situation was not very ideal.
Thinking about it, after running around for several years, he failed to seek an official, but instead exhausted all the savings in his family. Every time you come to Chang'an, you must stay at the home of relatives and friends before you can live for a long time.
"Where's my nephew?" Ye Chang asked.
"I just slept." Du Fu was a little distressed and a little proud: "He only knows how to sleep every day, and the children of other people's families can run around at the age of one, but he can only climb on the couch, barely holding the couch and walking a few steps before rolling to the ground." ”
Ye Chang laughed, and after chatting with Du Fu's son for a while, Ye Chang's expression turned serious: "Brother Zimei, I came here today, first, I haven't seen you for a long time, and second, I want to ask Brother Zimei for help." ”
Du Fu knew that Ye Chang had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he bowed his head slightly, indicating that he was listening. Ye Chang hesitated slightly, thought about the wording, and then said: "Is Brother Zimei going well in Chang'an this time, and did Chen Xianggong give Brother Zimei any promise?" ”
At this time, half of the literati entered Chang'an to seek officials, so Ye Chang asked him like this, Du Fu didn't feel abrupt, but just shook his head, his expression was a little gloomy.
Seeing this situation, Ye Chang said again: "Brother Zimei is upright, and it is not easy to be an official. ”
"Changran, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." Du Fu said.
"If I want to run a private newspaper in Chang'an, I have to ask someone to help, and I don't believe it if I change someone else, but Brother Zimei has his own literary style, so I want to use Brother Zimei's power."
"Private news?"
"Contrary to the Di newspaper, it is privately run, so it is called a private newspaper." Ye Chang said: "The content of this newspaper is divided into three parts, one is economic news, that is, the industrial, agricultural and commercial ......."
Ye Chang put the economic class at the beginning, and found that Du Fu did not mean to resist, he didn't know that Du Fu had viciously made up for the wealth of the country in the past few years, and agreed with his statement that his workers, peasants and businessmen were the foundation of the society, and this morning he heard his words of reprimanding Wang Zhun at the city gate.
Seeing that Du Fu did not object, Ye Chang said again: "The second part is a major event in the Tang Dynasty, and anything that does not involve confidentiality can be widely announced." For example, the victory or defeat of the ball club competition, and even the appointment and dismissal of military and political figures in the imperial court, as well as the decrees and regulations of the imperial court, can be seen in the newspaper, so that the newspaper buyers can know the major events in the world without leaving home, and then broaden their knowledge and broaden their horizons. ”
Datang's education has developed very rapidly in the past four years, Ye Chang has used almost one-third of his income to subsidize Datang education, and in the areas he directly controls and can influence, he even began to try to carry out voluntary enlightenment education and night schools for workers and peasants in the city. A large number of low-level scholars who have received his funding are eradicating illiteracy in the city and countryside, and although this work has not achieved much success at present, if it can be persistent, the literacy rate of Datang will double.
The rise in the literacy rate prepared the way for the start of a newspaper.
"The third part is the legend, the novel, the poetry and the ......"
Hearing the content of this third part, Du Wei couldn't help but shout beside him: "If this private newspaper is like a newspaper from the palace, then wouldn't the person who wrote the poem in the newspaper be relieved?" ”
"Exactly" Ye Chang smiled, he was not worried at all that the newspaper had no manuscript source, and the literati from all walks of life who came to Chang'an to seek official officials wished that there was such a thing that could increase their influence, and they would continue to write manuscripts, from the initial poems, to prose, legends, and soon their strategies would also come out - at that time, a simple newspaper would become an important public opinion position
"This newspaper ......"
Du Fu pondered for a long time and felt that this newspaper was indeed promising, and the economic situation could attract businessmen to buy newspapers, and they could also place advertisements, just like the ball market attracted advertisements, so as to obtain the newspaper's self-sustaining capital. The major events of the Tang Dynasty can attract ordinary officials and aspiring people, provide a stable source of readers for the newspaper, and also help the upload and issuance of Datang decrees. Not to mention the poetry of the article, it is a matter of education through the ages, and if you really want to do it, it will definitely go down in history
Although Du Fu did not despair of his career at this time, he also knew that if Yang Zhao was in power and a Li Linfu, it would be even more difficult for him to get ahead. And running this newspaper can not only promote his own name, but also ⊥ himself to have a stable source of income, no matter how poor he is, he does not have to be under the fence of Chang'an, so he is very moved in his heart.
It's just that the hypocrisy and sourness of the literati made him still pretend to refuse politely, Ye Chang naturally saw that he refused not resolutely, and sincerely invited, Du Fu finally relented: "Chang Ran has no intention of driving Du, and there is nothing to do, but the name of this private newspaper is really ugly. ”
Ye Chang was stunned, and Du Wei next to him stroked his palm and smiled: "Okay, good, this name is good, Minbao, Minbao"
He is Li Linfu's son-in-law, and he also has some officialdom knowledge, Ye Chang is anxious to run this newspaper, the real purpose is in addition to what he just said to Du Fu, I am afraid that there are other plans.
The biggest possibility is to control public opinion.
Nowadays, public opinion is mainly focused on the Yushitai, and the Yushi Dafu Wang used to be Li Linfu's person, but in the past two years, there has gradually been a tendency to part ways, and now it is even more impossible to buy Li Linfu's account. The news of today's conflict between Ye Chang and Wang Zhun has already come out, and Du Wei has also heard about it, so he suspects that Ye Chang is actually going to the Yushitai.
Others only thought about dealing with the king, but Ye Chang thought about directly dividing the power of the imperial historian...... This kind of wisdom and strategy made Du Wei more determined, and he was right to choose to go to Liaodong.
One day, Ye Chang will be like Li Linfu, ascending to the position above 10,000 people under that person, and at that time, he will naturally be able to return to Chang'an from Liaodong, and he will return in style.
"Eleven Lang, what do you think?" Du Fu saw that Ye Chang didn't speak for a long time, and asked a little nervously.
"Okay, naturally good, the name of the People's Daily is good" Ye Chang also nodded again and again, he secretly said in his heart, as long as it is not called the Japanese People's Daily, it is good.
"Congratulations to my sister-in-law, congratulations to Zimei." Du Wei said with a smile: "This matter is finalized, it must not be without wine, I will order people to talk about preparing a small banquet, and the two of you must not refuse."
He got up and walked out, leaving some space for Ye Chang and Du Fu, so that Ye Chang could talk about what kind of treatment Du Fu would give. Ye Chang also had this plan, but before he could speak, Du Fu said solemnly: "Changran, today at Yanxing Gate, I saw that you had a conflict with Wang Zhun." ”
Ye Chang let out an "oh" and said with a faint smile: "Chang'an is really small. ”
"After that, I also saw Dr. Wang in Chen Xianggong's mansion, you have to be careful of him." Du Fu said again.
Ye Chang looked at him for a while, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, he can't help me, if he has more brains, he should beat Wang Zhun again, and then send a post to apologize to me, otherwise, someone will clean him up."
Du Fu's heart froze, and Ye Chang's words were faintly chilly, which reminded Du Fu of Li Yong again.
