entered the tent room, but found that Zhao Mengting was not the only one inside. I saw Zhao Mengting with a tiger face, talking to the foreign affairs director of a newspaper.

Zhao Mengting said in a cold tone to the principal in front of her: "What the hell is going on?" Just because of the negligence of one guy, he printed nearly 100 newspapers wrongly, and the movable type typesetting is all skillful, how could there be such a big mistake? ”

The director said in a deep voice: "The guy who made the mistake is called Fang Shun, and he is indeed a skilled worker, but he is just ...... It's just that his mother was seriously ill, so she stayed up all night and didn't sleep, and the next day at work, maybe because of sleepiness, so ...... So ......"

This reason made Zhao Mengting's face a little softer, she turned the pen in her hand, as if thinking about what to do, the guy typeset the wrong edition is indeed not trivial, which means that this edition of the newspaper is all invalid, and the loss of ink and paper is no less than ten taels of silver. In fact, silver is secondary, the problem is that the sales of newspapers are already booming, and the supply exceeds demand, and the daily printing volume is now maintained at about 30,000, but because of the delay of this guy, he has to spend a lot of time to retypeset and print, for the newspaper workshop, every hour is precious.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Mengting immediately said: "Such a big negligence, although it is excusable, but if it is not severely punished, there will be a second and third time, if everyone is like this, should the newspaper be sold?" This guy named Fang Shun is dismissed. Give him an extra month's salary, and the right is to buy medicine for his mother. ”

The principal was a little unbearable, and couldn't help but say good things about this Fang Shun: "After all, he is a first-time offender, and besides, he ......"

Zhao Mengting shook her head stubbornly and said: "Once the rules are established, there is no emotion to talk about, there are extenuating feelings today, and there are extenuating feelings tomorrow." Do you want to open the newspaper? Everyone makes mistakes, and there is nothing wrong with this, but the newspaper is different from other places, and the slightest mistake here may lead to great losses, so let's do it, Uncle Wang, I know that you can't bear it, but you don't take charge of the army, and you don't do business. I hope you can understand. ”

The chief sighed and said, "That's the only way, I'll go and report it." ”

Seeing the principal walking out, Zhao Mengting noticed Xu Qian who came in quietly, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly. With a slight surprise, he said: "Why are you rare to come to the newspaper today?" What, don't you have to read a book? ”

Xu Qian sighed and said, "Feel free to come out and relax." ”

Zhao Mengting nodded, revealing a bit of innocence, and said, "I think you are lazy." Then she showed a little caution and said, "Is my handling appropriate?" Do you think I'm a little too ruthless? ”

Xu Qian shook his head and sighed, "You did the right thing. Although Fang Shun deserves sympathy, but the newspaper is not a good hall after all, if there are no rules, how can he open the door to do business? Actually, it's true. I may have a little bit of business to do, but the others are not as good as you, so it's me. Not necessarily as decisive as you. ”

Xu Qian said very sincerely, some people are born with some kind of talent. Obviously, Xu Qian's talent is not in business, he is more suitable for tossing up and down, and it is better to have a noble old man, because he feels that he was born with the specialty of being a gentleman.

Zhao Mengting said quietly: "Xu Gongzi made fun of me, in fact, I am just a woman, you let me manage such a big stall, although I have been exposed to some business principles since I was a child, but I have to learn from scratch, I just want to live up to your trust in me, so I want to do my best in every possible way." She stroked the green silk in front of her forehead and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I am doing well now, thanks to your praise, I will be happy in my heart." ”

Xu Qian said with a smile: "Don't talk about this gossip, I came here to ask Miss Zhao if she can enjoy the light, and let Xiaosheng invite Miss Zhao to dinner?" ”

Zhao Mengting swallowed her tongue, but she was blessed, and said playfully: "The owner is invited, how dare the slave disobey?" It's just that the owner has always been inseparable from Brother Deng? Why don't you have dinner with him? ”

Xu Qian hurriedly said like eating a fly: "Miss Zhao Mingjian, I am innocent with that bastard, and the sun and the moon can be seen!" ”

Zhao Mengting took a sip: "What are you thinking about, it's all dirty." ”

Xu Qian said confidently: "Dirt is human desire, human desire everyone has, I am a scholar, and I also have human desire, but unlike those ordinary people, they only have human desire, but in addition to human desire, I can also know good and evil, and conscience, so although I have a dirty heart, I am a rare gentleman in the world." ”

Zhao Mengting heard it in a fog and said: "This is familiar, it seems that someone has said it." ”

Xu Qian said: "Mr. Wang." ”

took Zhao Mengting out to eat, and when he returned home, thinking that tomorrow's newspaper would come out, Xu Qian couldn't help laughing, he really wanted to see what the city of Hangzhou would be like when the newspaper came out tomorrow.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The next morning, those who had long been accustomed to reading newspapers, as usual, would get newspapers from their own channels, or from the newsboys on the street, or from the counters of teahouses and restaurants, because the newspapers were so sold so fast that sometimes they had to rush to buy a newspaper, and usually after the end of the day, new newspapers would come out, and at most the time would be sold out.

The newspaper looks inconspicuous, but it appeals to their appetite, and it is not only these scholars, but also the new governor.

When he was in Beijing, he had heard of the rarity of newspapers for a long time, and now that he is here, he naturally can't help but ask people to take a copy to see, at first glance, he really thinks it is a little interesting, and gradually he has developed a habit of letting people send a copy to the station every day.

When he got up early in the morning, he first met the officials who came to pay his respects, and then he found a free time, sat comfortably on the pear wood chair, took a few sips of the teacup, and slowly spread out the newspaper, because his eyes were not very good, and ordered someone to light an oil lamp.

After a little half an hour, I finally saw the front page, and the article on the front page actually wrote about myself, Qin Cha was stunned at first, and then showed joy.

He had long heard that the newspaper was the best at writing people's biography, and most of the celebrities in Zhejiang had recorded it, which was also a feature of Ming Pao.

He cheered up and looked at it curiously, and sure enough, it was the same as he expected, and the article was very much praised for himself, starting from the official voice, saying that where he passed, the people rushed to tell each other, and successively served as Hanlin, Kedao Imperial Envoy, local government and then the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites were all recruited Zhuoran.

Seeing this, this Qincha smiled and was even more interested.

Then he talked about the virtues of Lord Qincha, saying that he was a role model for officials, filial piety to his parents, and his children as governors, and he was well-known among the clan.

Qin Cha squinted his eyes and bowed his head slightly, greatly agreeing in his heart.

Next, it is inevitable to praise a few words of Qincha's knowledge, he is a Jinshi and the first background, the article is naturally excellent, this is what Qincha has always been proud of, and now Mingbao has picked up the Ming Shilu that he participated in the compilation of the Hanlin Academy as an example, saying that there is Hu Shilang into the Hanlin compilation, and the Ming Shilu has added a lot of color.

This is a very ordinary sentence, but if you think about it in detail, it is extraordinary, because Ming Shilu was compiled and participated in a large number of times, and almost every Shu Jishi has participated in the compilation of this official history book, and since Hu Shilang has added a lot of color, doesn't this mean that his status is higher than that of other Hanlin?

If you look at it from this point of view, this is definitely a great honor, if you only say that he is good at learning, people may not be able to look at it, but if you want to say that people are skilled over Hanlin, if this good name is spread through the newspaper, he Hu Daren will really want to be famous in history.

In fact, when he saw this, Qin Cha, surnamed Hu, couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, wasn't this newspaper opened by Xu Qian? Why do you boast so much about yourself? Could it be that he has some plans?

After thinking about it for a while, Master Hu sneered in his heart: "This surnamed Xu is not desperate, seeing that the old man is taking the township exam, so he is in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he wants to be close to the old man." Hmph, shameless. ”

Although I understand Xu Qian's thoughts, but after all, this is a thing worthy of celebration by Lord Hu, he continued to read it with interest, and the next content is an example, you say that people are well-educated, there should always be a reason, so Ming Pao posted an article about Lord Hu in the past, this article, Lord Hu has some impressions, it was made in his spare time when he was in Hanlin, and somehow it was circulated, but it is also quite famous, this is Lord Hu's proud work, Ming Pao posted it out of a sentence of appreciation, which shows the sincerity of people.

Merely......

Lord Hu was smiling at first, but slowly, his face showed a little suspicious, there was nothing wrong with the tasting, but the problem is that this so-called tasting is contrary to his original intention, obviously he wrote this meaning, but the annotation completely distorted the original meaning.

This feeling makes Lord Hu a little weird, in fact, it's nothing, after all, there is no punctuation at this time, the same sentence, as long as the annotation is good, it is nothing to completely deviate from the author's original meaning, look at the Analects, all kinds of annotations in later generations, each Confucian has his own interpretation, if it is not for the official Cheng Zhu's annotation as the official standard, God knows how many meanings will come out.

It's just that Master Hu feels that his article has been completely distorted.
