Chapter 120: Xu Gongzi is very powerful
The fast horses of the East Factory are often faster than the express delivery shops, hundreds of miles of urgency, and it only takes three or two days to arrive in Hangzhou.
The prince soon got a reply, originally he expected, the palace was afraid that he would have to consider one or two, who knew that the news would come so quickly.
What's more, the person who came to deliver the news, Wang Gonggong actually recognized it, it was a stall leader in Dongchang, this person was so tired that he almost collapsed, Wang Gonggong did not order someone to help him rest, but directly invited him to the hall.
He knew in his heart that if this person came to deliver the message, then it must be that Gonggong Huang had something important to explain, and it was urgent.
The stall head took a sip of tea, took a few quick breaths, and then said: "That Xu Qian's recital, the palace has already approved it." β
Regarding this news, Wang Gonggong didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, nodded calmly, and said, "What did Huang Gonggong say?" β
"Your Majesty said, grace is naturally favorable, but it will be effective within a month. Huang Gonggong ordered me to come, just to inform Wang Gonggong, this matter is not trivial. β
Wang Gonggong already had a bad premonition, and when he heard Huang Gonggong say that it was not trivial, he trembled in his heart and said, "What does he have to do with Huang Gonggong when he runs his newspaper?" β
This stall sneered and said: "The person was recommended by Huang Gonggong, His Majesty's temperament has always been suspicious, you guaranteed Xu Qian to Huang Gonggong, Huang Gonggong said a lot of good things in front of the emperor, now if Xu Qian is not doing well, what will the emperor think?" You must know that today's son is not Emperor Xiaozong and Emperor Daxing. β
The prince was silent for a moment, in the past, he was in the palace, and Huang Gonggong often said to him that the companion is like a tiger, he has been in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time, and he almost lost his vigilance, and now he can't help but be afraid when he thinks about it. If this Xu Qian gets rid of it, although Gonggong Huang's side is having a hard time, he will definitely be unlucky, he smiled bitterly in his heart: "This Xu Qian, I had asked him not to talk nonsense, now it's good, do you want to pull our family into the water?" He hurriedly asked: "What else does Gonggong Huang have to explain?" β
"Gonggong Huang said that you will definitely help him in Hangzhou, and the emperor intends to take the school examination. What can this newspaper do, and what the future of you and Xu Qian can go is here. Huang Gonggong doesn't understand the newspaper, and you must not know it, so how to organize this newspaper can only be decided by Xu Qian. In any case, the results will be seen within a month. β
Wang Gonggong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How effective is this, and what should be used to measure it?" β
The head of the "......" stall was surprised: "I don't know." β
Wang Gonggong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing that Huang Jin attached great importance to this matter, the emperor used this to press Xu Qian, and Huang Gonggong used this to pressure himself, a month's time is really a race against time. There was no room for delay, he hurriedly arranged for the stall leader to rest first, and then he didn't bring too many entourages, let alone take the car. Instead, he rode a fast horse directly and went directly to Xu Qian.
Xu Qian had already expected the Prince's Guild to come this time, and he didn't greet him, and when he saw the prince's solemn face, he understood something in his heart. Dodge let him in the door, and the two of them reached the hall. The princess didn't even drink the tea poured by Zhao Mengting with a straight face, knocked the table with his knuckles, and couldn't help but say, "What do we say?" Don't mess around, don't mess around. Now, you can ignore the future, and our family still hopes to soar one day. β
After that, the prince told him about the urgent report. Who knew that Xu Qian had no heart or lungs, so he couldn't help but pat his thigh and shouted: "So, the palace has already allowed me to run a newspaper?" β
The prince couldn't laugh and cry, and said, "But if you don't see results within a month, you just have to wait for the hardship." β
Xu Qian also restrained his ecstasy, became careless, and said, "So, the emperor means to test me?" If this newspaper is not sensational enough within a month, even if I become an official in the future, I will have to wear small shoes? β
Wang Gonggong sighed heavily: "Not only you, but our family will also be unlucky, without further ado, let's think about how to organize this newspaper." β
Xu Qian spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that there would be a one-month deadline in the palace, now it is difficult at the beginning of everything, and this newspaper has to be started, but I am afraid it will not be easy." β
I thought that Xu Qian swore that he really had a few brushes, but who knew that at this time, he would spread his hands, and the prince said eagerly: "Then what to do, what to do?" What is missing, you can say it. β
Xu Qian said: "The most difficult thing at the moment is the lack of silver, without silver, everything is empty talk." β
The prince suddenly became alert, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and said, "Didn't your Xu family cheat that Zhang family for 1,500 taels of silver?" What about the silver? β
Xu Qian sighed and said, "It was all taken by my uncompetitive father to buy land." β
Wang Gonggong gritted his teeth and couldn't help but say, "How many silver taels do you need?" β
Xu Qian looked at the prince in astonishment and said, "What, the prince is willing to solve the urgent need." β
The prince sighed: "Silver is a small matter, the future is a big thing, you just say it, don't be distracted." β
Xu Qian is the first time to see the prince so in a hurry, originally he planned to start this newspaper slowly, out of his own part, and then raise a part, but now someone is sending silver flowers, there is no reason not to spend, just fooling the prince's silver, after all, he is a little uneasy, but then he thought: "The surname Wang usually doesn't know how many people have extorted from the people, I am taking it from the people for the people, anyway, he has a lot of silver, and his face is so thin, how can he be a person who has achieved great things?" β
Thinking about it like this, he felt comfortable, he shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not much, two or three thousand taels of silver is enough, this newspaper will be counted as thirty percent of the prince in the future, if you earn silver, you won't have to benefit the princess." β
The prince was also refreshed, and said bluntly: "In this case, then our family will take out three thousand taels of silver, and the ugly words are in front, our family will come out of the silver, and you have to do it, you must not take it lightly, and the future of our family can be placed on you." β
With the support of Wang Gonggong, the newspaper is easy to run, Xu Qian is wealthy, personally took Deng Jian out for a walk, chose the site of the newspaper, and put down this prosperous area, and then contacted his uncle Xu Shen to teach Zhao Mengting some of the process of the newspaper, of course, the printing craftsman and address should also be selected.
After several days of busyness, things were quite smooth, but every day that passed, the prince became more impatient, and when he saw that the newspaper had not yet come out, he sent someone to ask questions every day.
Xu Qian was not in a hurry, he was full of interest and deliberately went to Xie Mansion.
In Xu Qian's opinion, this teacher belongs to the role of an old fox, although it has given Xu Qian a lot of opportunities, but also brought him a lot of trouble, this time he did not bring the article, but specially asked the teacher to moisten the pen.
As soon as he saw his teacher, Xu Qian chattered: "Students have always admired Yu Shaobao, and Yu Shaobao is also a person from Hangzhou. β
This is Xu Qian's opening remarks.
Xie Qian's face was wooden, with an indifferent look, looking Xu Qian up and down, with a smile watching his performance.
What Xu Qian hates the most is this kind of expression that sees through his belly full of flowers at a glance, but when he is under the eaves, he is facing his own karma teacher, so that he has no temper at all, and then said: "If this Daming Sheji has no less protection, I am afraid that it will be overturned, and students often think that today's students can talk with their teachers here, relying on the kindness of his old man, what does the teacher think?" β
"Yes." Xie Qian still had that elusive smile as usual.
Xu Qian peeked at him and said, "So the student wants to ......"
"You're running a newspaper?" Before Xu Qian could say what he was trying to do, Xie Qian suddenly asked.
Xu Qian was stunned and said, "The teacher actually knows? β
Xie Qian said: "There are still a lot of people in Hangzhou City who know, do you really think this kind of thing can be hidden?" β
Xu Qian suddenly became stunned, thinking in his heart that the news must have leaked from the prince's mansion, and there were many people there.
Xie Qian said again: "You came here on purpose to hope that the old man would cheer for you." What, do you want the old man to write an article for you? β
Xu Qian's face turned red, but he had to say: "The teacher is wise, the student's little caution can't hide the teacher at all, and the student really hopes that the teacher can write an article." β
Xie Qian smiled slightly, showing a kind color, and said, "Actually, I have worked hard for you these days, what article do you want the old man to write?" β
Xu Qian said: "Please ask the teacher to write an article for Yu Shaobao." β
"Yu Shaobao?" Xie Qian was silent for a moment and said, "When will you use it?" β
Xu Qian said: "The sooner you are, the better." β
Xie Qian was quite dedicated to his protΓ©gΓ©, although he had other plans when he was included in the door wall, and now this Xu Qian came to ask him for help, he was not polite, and said with a smile: "This is easy, you just wait on the side, the old man will write now, you look at it carefully, it will be beneficial to you." β
Xie Qian readily agreed, but Xu Qian felt a little grateful to him, this is the teacher, and there is no ambiguity when the matter comes to an end, of course, when he pushed Xu Qian to be a shield, he didn't seem to be ambiguous.
Xie Qian asked someone to take the pen and ink, pondered for a while, and began to play the draft in his heart, and then the pen walked away from the dragon and snake, Xu Qian was observing, the teacher's writing was old and spicy, although he was old, his talent was as agile as his young man, it only took half an hour, and an article sprinkled with thousands of words was done, Xu Qian carefully dried the ink, and sighed: "The teacher is really powerful, and the students are impressed." β
Xie Qian clapped his hands and said: "This is nothing, Yu Shaobao's deeds, the old man has been longing for a long time, so he has feelings from time to time, and it is not difficult to make these feelings in today's article." If you are satisfied, take it. β
Xu Qian thanked him again and again, brought this article, and said that there were still many things to do, so he hurriedly left.
Xie Qian looked at his departing back, smiled slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Newspaper? The old man wants to see what tricks you end up playing. β
