The Xicheng District of the Liangguo Capital City, that is, located in the west of Suzaku Avenue, is the place where the ordinary people in the capital, as well as the merchants who have no official status, live, compared with the quiet and majestic Dongcheng District, the Xicheng District seems to be mixed, very lively, up to the children of the family whose actual status is not much lower than the officials of the imperial court, down to the most ordinary ruffians and hooligans in the streets and alleys, all gather in this place, walk on the same street with each other, and may have eaten the same roadside stall.

This is the world.

On this day, in Xicheng District, it can't even be regarded as a street, it can only be regarded as a small courtyard door in the side streets and alleys, only to see people constantly going in and out, occasionally outsiders passing by, looking inside under curiosity, you can see a group of young people who are busy with their work.

Gu Cang was also rarely interested in leaving the dreary room in the prince's mansion today, and accompanied by the two beautiful personal maids, he crossed the Vermilion Bird Avenue in a carriage and arrived here together.

According to the laws of the Liang Kingdom, except for the members of the royal family, the rest of the common people, even the extremely popular ministers of Zhu Zi, none of them could get the privilege to walk freely on the Suzaku Avenue, which divided the capital, and there were only a limited number of places where people from the two urban districts could come and go with each other.

Although it is a prince of a country, but under Gu Cang's special request, he did not make a big fanfare, it was too ostentatious, the carriage was also the most ordinary carriage, and even the logo of the prince's mansion was not installed, and in the entire courtyard, inside and outside the house, not even a single guard, or two personal maids, plus the heaven and earth net, was already the best guard in the entire empire.

It can be said that in the entire Western Continent, few people have the ability to assassinate Gu Cang.

The courtyard is a three-entry courtyard, in the powerful Dongcheng District, it may only be regarded as an ordinary small household, and it is a place where low-grade officials who can't get on the stage live, but in this Xicheng District, it is already a very good family.

Several side rooms in the courtyard are wide open, and there are people in them who are constantly busy, some are installing and putting together some objects, and some are still moving things inside, except for the three who are standing, none of them seem to be resting.

It was still cold at the end of spring, Gu Cang put his hands on his sleeves, as if he was an ordinary rich man, and he was looking at the people below with a smile on his face, and he even felt that even his only remaining life was warmed up.

After coming to this courtyard, after accompanying the prince for so long, Xiaolu, who was the most out-of-the-box next to her, finally couldn't help but ask.

"Prince, the slave has something unknown, I don't know what this newspaper you want to print is?"

The position where Gu Cang was standing was obviously next to the frost, and now, he didn't seem to care much about the thoughts of this Xiaolu next to him, and when he heard her ask, he immediately explained with a smile: "Naturally, the official newspaper reports the official, and the people report the people." ”

In fact, the official offices of the imperial courts of various countries have always copied and distributed documents such as edicts issued by the emperor and some ministers' recitals, as well as publications related to the domestic political situation, all of which are collectively called "Di Bao", which can also be used as "Official Newspaper", and the word "Di" originally referred to the residence of officials in Kyoto, and the word "Fu" also came from this.

The content of "Di Bao" is mainly used to record the emperor's edicts and orders, daily life words and deeds, as well as the decrees of the imperial court, the gazette, and the news of the appointment of officials and rewards and punishments and the ministers' chapters and papers, etc., in short, they are controlled by the imperial courts of various countries, and are invented in order to let the people know about some of the latest trends in the imperial court.

As for what Gu Cang said, the meaning is also very simple, that is, the official newspaper is to report the affairs of the imperial court, and this people's newspaper is naturally the affairs of the people, and it belongs to a kind of publication that will be read by the public.

When Xiaolu heard this, she immediately frowned and said, "But among these people, there are many illiterate people, how can this be?"

This is to the point, even in the most prosperous Beijing, but there are many illiterate people, after all, not every family has the money to let their children go to school, the capital is still like this, not to mention that it is expanded to all parts of the country, especially those remote places, the number of illiterate people will only be more, some may not have a single person in the whole village who can read, even if they show them newspapers and books, they can't understand.

The entire Liangguo may be at the peak of the literary style, and the people are rich Jiangzhou can basically achieve the level of literacy of everyone, and other people like the poor and barren Youzhou, it is estimated that there will be one in a thousand people who can read.

Gu Cang nodded and said: "Well, you are right, but the reason why there are so many illiterate people, in addition to the fact that many people do not have enough money to go to the school, more importantly, is because the structure of the font is too complicated, which hinders the people from learning and memorizing the text, so the people's newspaper will use my latest invention of simplified Chinese characters to publish, in the future, we will spread the simplified Chinese characters, tomorrow the court, I will mention this matter to my father, and then I need the two of you to follow suit." ”

Simplified and traditional Chinese things, Xiaolu can't think about it clearly for the time being, and she doesn't understand why this kind of thing hinders the people from reading and writing, but she just thinks that the thinking of her prince will definitely not be able to keep up with ordinary people.

And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door.

"Simplifying, benefiting the future, the prince really has immortal talent. ”

As he spoke, the person who came had already strode in in a grand manner, and no one came to stop him.

The people who came here are a man and a woman, the man is full of heroism, wearing a strong green shirt, the air is magnificent, handsome and unparalleled, and the woman is a graceful and luxurious, dignified and beautiful feeling, although the two are not very old, but they have a sense of everyone's demeanor, at a glance, you will know that it is a scholarly family, after the official eunuch, these two people are similar in appearance alone, there are seven or eight points similar, and then look at the appearance of the elder and younger, it should be the brother and sister.

When Gu Cang saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Zhang!"

It turned out that the person who came was none other than Shang Shuling Zhang Boren's children, the girl's name was Zhang Zhi'e, and her son was called Zhang Yunguo, this Gu Cang naturally knew her.

Especially now that the whole capital is rumoring that the emperor wants to marry the daughter of the Zhang family to the crown prince as the crown princess, the queen of the empire in the future, the mother of the world, but the two have never met before this.

Although Zhang Zhi'e is a beautiful girl, she has been under the strict discipline of her father since she was a child, and she has rarely gone out on weekdays, she has cultivated her sentiments at home, followed her mother and teacher, and learned some books such as female virtues, but after all, she is a child of Shang Shuling's family, and she was born with a lot of courage, and when she saw Gu Cang, she didn't have the slightest shyness, but boldly raised her head and looked at each other carefully.

The name of this prince, in the capital, is like thunder, no one knows, no one knows, not only in the literati's favorite poems, the peak, can be called the first person in the human race in the sea realm, the most important thing is that her father, Shangshu Ling Zhang Boren is even more every day on his lips, between the words, is not to admire, very appreciated, and even occasionally seem quite lonely, saying that it is a talented person from the country, he is really old, the future should be the younger generation of people This kind of words, after listening to it for a long time, of course she will have curiosity, want to see what kind of character this prince is。

What's more critical is that now the whole capital says that she is going to be the crown princess, but she has not yet met her future husband, how can this be?

Although according to the ancient rites, a woman does not see her husband before marriage, it is a natural thing, marriage is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, there are many women who are put on the shelf by their parents early, until the day of marriage, will leave the house, sit in a sedan chair, until the husband's house, when they go to the church, can see their husbands.

But Liangguo is a little different, first of all, the culture of the human race originated in the atrium, Nandi has always been, just like a barbarian, and does not abide by these rules and regulations, plus the national style of Liangguo is enlightened, will not be too restrained by the people, and like to respect ancient rites, those are all stubborn families in Jiangzhou, but the imperial court for Jiangzhou, is more suppressed than promoted, in these places, it will not obey the other party's will.

On the boundary of Jiangzhou, it may not be possible to see a few ladies going out, but in the capital, it is already a norm for women to wander the streets.

The most important thing is that the prince himself often says that women can hold up half the sky, everyone must abandon prejudices and let men and women get along with each other on an equal footing, although this kind of words will be scolded in private as a man's shame, reversing the norm, and disrespecting the number of courtesies, but because of Gu Cang's identity and the majesty and reputation established by various deeds over the years, on the surface, the status of women has been improved too much.

At the very least, if they encounter a beating by their husband's family for no reason, these unbearable women have dared to go to the government to report the case, and there was a major incident a few years ago, mainly "family law" and "national law" After the interrogation, not only approved the end of the couple's name, but also made the family lose a lot of money, which was a big face, and the family moved out of the capital soon after, as for the woman, she entered the prince's mansion as a servant, and she also saved her tongue outside.

This incident was a sensation, according to Gu Cang's statement, thanks to him being the crown prince, no one dared to make trouble, even if he was obviously wronged, he had to obediently hold back and go home.

At that time, Gu Li also secretly found the family, promised a lot of money, and then provoked them with words, asking them to go to the prince's mansion to shout grievances, and use this matter to reduce Gu Cang's reputation among the people, but it was also unsuccessful.

In short, because of the prince's various deeds, the women in the capital, who don't regard him as a dream lover, even if Zhang Zhi'e, who was born in the eunuch family, doesn't like him, but there is always curiosity, here she is still looking blatantly, Zhang Yunguo next to him has already come up as if no one is around, and began to explain to him: "Prince, this is my sister, I, I really can't help it, I secretly brought her out, don't tell my father when you turn around." ”

The daughter of Shang Shuling's family secretly ran out of the house to see a man who had not yet been officially married, even if the whole city knew that they were a couple, this was not okay, and when the time came, he would definitely drag Zhang Yunguo's kid out and give him a good beating, but he knew his father's temper, except for the one in front of him and the one on the dragon chair, everyone else's words should be fart.

The famous son of the Zhang family in the capital now looks like a thief who has been caught stealing something, Gu Cang felt quite funny when he saw it, and immediately nodded and agreed: "I won't talk too much." ”

When Zhang Yunguo heard this, his whole person suddenly became more energetic, and he even joked rarely: "Okay, it deserves to be my future brother-in-law!"

The relationship between the two sides is good, and he is not very rigid, otherwise he would not take the risk of bringing his sister out, plus Gu Cang is notoriously good-tempered, and he has not yet ascended the throne, so he dares to make such a joke.

In this regard, Gu Cang only smiled bitterly, and then bowed to Zhang Zhi'e, who was beside Zhang Yunguo: "I've seen 。。。。。。 ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yunguo next to him urged: "Just see it, don't see it, give birth!"

Zhang Zhi'e next to her glared at her brother fiercely, and then spoke: "Outsiders say that the prince respects equality between men and women, and when I see it today, it is true, in fact, the prince is a relative of the emperor and the country, and he is a nobleman, so he doesn't have to salute the little girl." ”

Seeing this, Gu Cangzhen didn't know what to say for the first time, so he could only laugh awkwardly, the cramped embarrassment made the two maids behind him want to laugh a little, but more importantly, they instinctively rejected the woman in front of him.

One side is just a lowly maid, even if they are the leaders of the heaven and earth network, they can't change the fact that they are subordinates, the most important thing is that they are all people who can't see the light, and on the other side is the daughter of the head of the hundred officials, everyone is beautiful, if you really want to choose a person who will be married to the queen by Gu Cangming Media in the future, you don't have to think about it to know which side it will be, no wonder they reject each other so much, in fact, it is more, it is just a faint jealousy.
