The pen writer of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, although it is an emerging profession.

But it is the most respected profession for the entire Chang'an scribes, and there are many people who do not charge pennies and pay their own money to be a writer of big newspapers, such as Chang'an News, Chang'an City Daily, and Jingzhao Baiwen Newspaper.

Datang Daily is the official newspaper of Datang, and its writers are already equivalent to officials.

Among the Tang Dynasty, there are three members of the Academy, who are the writers of the Tang Daily, holding the court's Zhengqipinlu.

At noon, just as the writers of the Chang'an Daily gathered to discuss the contents of tomorrow's newspaper pages and the direction of the editorial, a small official from the Baekje envoy group arrived.

"My envoy let you go!"

Half of the writers didn't look back, only two or three young people looked back.

"My chief envoy asked you to come over!"

"Good refreshments today? I heard that this year's big shopkeeper got some of this year's Longjing Xinlu, I don't know if I can ask for some. A thirty-year-old writer said unhurriedly.

He's conveying an attitude to all.

This attitude is to completely ignore the existence of the other party, in the arrogant words of the writer, who is the person, what is the identity, why are you yelling at us.

Another writer said: "I heard that there is a porter position in Datang Daily, and I think we should follow suit!" ”

"I, the chief envoy of the Great Baekje, let you come over, don't you know how to be polite?" The little official said again. In his eyes, none of these people were from the Shi clan, because the Shi clan could be an official based on the recommendation of the family. Only poor students will work in this place.

Work is cheap work.

Entering the office is the real noble status, as long as it is to work for people, whether it is teaching or writing, it is already a cheap job among scholars.

So, the identities of these people are nothing.

"No, I'm not available." The thirty-year-old pen man who spoke first stood up and stretched out his hand to the door: "Please go out immediately, otherwise I will report to the official and accuse you of trespassing on a private house." ”

"You!" The little official in Baekje was a little surprised, you must know that his status in Baekje is one rank higher. It can grasp the life and death of low-level people. When. You are a little scholar from a humble family who dares to rebel against officials, you must know that the envoy group was in Chang'an before, but it was specially cared for, even if it was a small official. It is also more noble than the officials of Chang'an Seven Grades.

"Get out!"

A roar of rage. The little officer was frightened. He stumbled two steps and fell outside the door at the threshold.

The principals of the room did not pay any attention to the little official, but immediately instructed the young writers: "Go to the newspaper offices quickly." He insulted me in Baekje, the people of the Tang Dynasty first, and insulted me and waited last, if anyone took the initiative to go to the Welcome Garden, a certain shame! ”

The little officials in Baekje did not run all the newspapers, and after receiving a cold reception from the three newspapers, they went back to Yingbin Garden: "These lowly newspapers in Datang are very arrogant, and they don't want to come here at all. ran through all the newspapers and invited each other, but none of them responded. ”

"Please! Spend some money and invite them to come! ”

At this time, as the three major newspapers of private newspapers, Chang'an News (Chang'an Daily). Chang'an City Daily (City Daily). Jingzhao Baiwen Bao (Beijing Daily), the three big shopkeepers gathered together, and many tabloid shopkeepers either came in person or sent people with status in the newspaper hall to arrive.

"At this meeting, a certain proposal was made to establish a newspaper association. And a formal application has been submitted to the Ministry of Commerce, and this batch of documents has come down today, so gather everyone to discuss. ”

The one who opened his mouth was the big shopkeeper of Chang'an News (Chang'an Daily).

His backstage is Qinghe Cui's family.

"Dare to ask, is it approved?" Someone asked anxiously.

You must know that having a chamber of commerce means that the industry has been recognized by the imperial court, and the imperial court will protect the lower limit of the industry, and will not let the industry fall at any time.

"The approval of the Ministry of Commerce is that the newspaper industry is not a business." The face of the big shopkeeper of Chang'an Daily was a little more serious, and his words made many people's hearts sink, which meant that he was not approved. But who would have thought, the big shopkeeper of Chang'an Daily suddenly laughed: "The newspaper industry is not under the control of the Ministry of Commerce, because the newspaper industry is within the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites!" ”

"Ministry of Rites!"

"That's right, it's the Ministry of Rites!" The shopkeeper of Chang'an Daily had a sense of relief on his face.

What does the Ministry of Commerce stand for? The real hierarchical foundation of the Tang Dynasty originated from soldiers, farmers, industrialists, merchants, and soldiers. The Ministry of Commerce governs the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce is the circle of businessmen. What does the Ministry of Rites stand for? The newspaper industry is not a chamber of commerce, and the new term given by the Ministry of Commerce is industry, the newspaper guild.

The big shopkeeper of Chang'an Daily bowed in the direction of the south of the city, and his expression was extremely respectful.

"His Royal Highness King Qin defined the newspaper industry as early as the birth of the newspaper business. Newspapers are an industry, and they are also an industry that needs culture and etiquette. What the newspaper industry needs most is not how much money it can make, but how much virtue the practitioners have, and if the practitioners are virtuous, they can infect the people. ”

"King Qin is wise!" All the shopkeepers said in unison.

"Today, we are waiting for a joint application. Tomorrow, I will go to the Ministry of Rites to hand in the paperwork application, and my Chang'an Newspaper Guild is, Shi! ”

Everyone got up at the same time, and those who could be the big treasurers in the newspaper industry could be said to be scholars. The one with the worst status is also a scholar who once had a little reputation in Chang'an City.

The big shopkeeper is not in charge of management, just like later generations, they are more like editors-in-chief.

The definition of a taxi suddenly made them feel a sense of pride in their hearts, a sense of pride that arose spontaneously.

"There's an urgency!" A pen clerk was outside the door and reported inside. Then he sent a roll of paper to the door, he knew that this was a meeting of almost all the newspapers in Chang'an, and it was a matter of great importance to discuss. But the matter at hand is also urgent, so it was sent over, the matter is not small, and it must be a person who is in charge.

The little guy guarding the door handed the paper roll to the big shopkeeper of Chang'an Daily.

"Humph! The Baekje envoy paid 30 yuan, and asked me to wait. He said that he would tell the story of that day in the East City, thirty times. We are scholars, not businessmen, and we don't fold our integrity for just money. Money can be lost, but integrity cannot be damaged! The tone of the big shopkeeper of Chang'an Bao was extremely resolute.

That's right, if it had been earlier, it would have been hard to say whether these thirty runs would have been able to attract writers.

But at this time, only thirty times lost the integrity of a scholar, this is humiliation!

"Guys, it seems that we should no longer be called shopkeepers. Since the newspaper industry is under the control of the Ministry of Rites. To be called a treasurer again is an insult to the priest. Tomorrow's application for the Ministry of Rites is an important matter, but tomorrow we should ask to see His Royal Highness the King of Qin, so that we can wait for the development of the newspaper industry. ”

The shopkeeper of the Beijing News was actually talking about something that seemed unrelated.

looked at the crowd puzzled. The shopkeeper of the Beijing News continued: "Princess Mingyue said it in Yaozhou. Except for Datang, there is no prison cell in the world where my people of Datang are imprisoned. Except for Datang, there is no torture instrument for my Datang people. Two days ago, the envoy of Donggao Baekje humiliated my people of the Tang Dynasty, and this matter was taken as our waiting. There is no personal grudge in his heart, he should tell the truth and let the people of Chang'an know, and when he heard that Jing Zhaoyin has accepted the case, he should arrange for a profitable writer to tell the people of Datang about the incident. ”

"What about the Baekje envoys?"

"He wants to tell, and we can't refuse. But he drove me to wait first, and humiliated me with silver coins, and waited for me. If he wants to speak, we will not refuse, but if he wants to speak, he will come to the newspaper to speak! ”

"Good!" The shopkeepers responded in unison.

Once again, the messengers of Baekje failed, and the Baekje envoys almost went crazy. I personally ran to find Honglu Siqing and asked Honglu Siqing to send those writers to come. This is the way to use officials to suppress the people.

"This is not in line with the law of the Tang Dynasty. The law of the Tang Dynasty states that non-sinners cannot be summoned. Etiquette must not be used to oppress the people, a certain can't help you, a certain is an official of the Ministry of Rites, such a faux pas, a certain shame! Honglu Siqing lukewarmly pushed back the request of the Baekje envoy.

The Baekje envoy was about to go berserk, but he heard his entourage say, "The Goguryeo envoy has entered Chang'an City!" ”

"Farewell!" In the face of Honglu Temple, the Baekje envoys didn't even fulfill the etiquette, so they left in a hurry.

After the Baekje envoy left, Honglu Temple Qing let out a long sigh, and the deputy beside him was puzzled: "Why sigh?" ”

"I want to send some small gifts from these envoys during the Wude years, and I Datang call myself a big state, and the return gifts are at least three times the value of the gifts they sent. At this time, thinking back to the practice at that time, it seems that we are really stupid, and I think that if we treat each other politely, they will be grateful for my kindness. ”

When the deputy secretary of Honglu Temple heard this, he also sighed: "Now it seems that as His Royal Highness King Qin said, they are just a group of wolves that can't be fed, it's really hateful!" ”

"That's it, that's it. Hurry up and make arrangements, there are a number of envoys visiting recently, and the reception is indispensable. ”

On the other side, in Qin Wangzhuang, Cui Dunli took a few pieces of information sent by the fast horse and reported it in front of Li Yuanxing.

"Your Highness is wise, the newspaper industry has changed from the Ministry of Commerce to the Ministry of Rites, just a change in the management has made a huge change in the mentality of the people in the newspaper industry, and things are also developing in the direction predicted by His Highness, but His Highness has not yet given instructions, how will this matter end, and what will be the outcome?"

Cui Dunli asked a very critical question.

Kim Man-ching was beaten, the envoys of Baekje are definitely guilty, but how to punish them, how to deal with the envoys of Baekje in this matter, and how to face nearly 100 envoys from various states and ethnic groups, this is what Cui Dunli needs to think about.

"Don't worry, this king is waiting for the reaction of all parties, now Goguryeo has just arrived in Chang'an, Gaochang's team still needs three days, how to deal with it can be discussed again, to ensure that you are satisfied!"

Li Yuanxing's sentence is guaranteed to satisfy you.

But Cui Dunli has nothing to say, what does it mean to ensure that these people are satisfied?

It doesn't seem that there is an explanation for this matter, or His Royal Highness King Qin implied something in this sentence, is it ......

Cui Dunli's mind was a little confused, and he even began to think crankily, he thought a lot, and even thought of the IOU that the Qinghe Cui clan returned to the Emperor Li Yuan on behalf of the Shandong clan. Does King Qin know this IOU, and what will be his reaction after knowing it. (To be continued......)

PS: Ask for a monthly pass, keep changing for the New Year, desperately ask for a monthly pass, work hard to code words tonight, and tomorrow's task for a day is that seven relatives are leaving!

God, the Chinese New Year is so hard.
