Zhu Youzhen left the school field and sat down in the pavilion by the South China Sea, and after a while, Gong Yonggu was brought over.

"Wechen greets Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." Gong Yonggu knelt down and saluted, full of excitement, but thanking him for the early dynasty.

"Calm down, the family doesn't have to see outside." Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "I asked you to come here to have something for you to do, which delayed your relationship with the imperial sister, and the imperial sister didn't blame me, right?" ”

Gong Yonggu said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty is laughing, if there is anything you command." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "I decided to set up a royal newspaper, and the content editing of the newspaper is in charge of the eunuch Gao Qiqian, who is the master of ceremonies, and you are responsible for the printing and sales of the newspaper. ”

"Is it something like Di Bao?" Gong Yonggu asked.

"It's similar to Di Bao, but it's distributed to all the people. You discuss specific things with Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian, and ask them if you don't understand. Horse, your family used to be in business, and I believe you can do it well. Zhu Youzhen said.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will live up to his holy hopes." Gong Yonggu hurriedly said.

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "In this way, I won't keep you, go and do something." ”

......

After Gong Yonggu left Xiyuan, he first went to see Cao Huachun, and after some conversation, he finally figured out what he was going to do.

"Your Majesty has high hopes in this matter, and the horses must not take it lightly. It is necessary to print the newspaper in the shortest possible time and promote it to the entire Jingshi, whether it is on the streets or in the alleys, you must know the royal people's newspaper. Cao Huachun instructed, "All in all, the price should be affordable for ordinary people, and the more newspapers you sell, the better." ”

Gong Yonggu said with confidence: "Father-in-law, rest assured, there are ready-made engraving craftsmen, premises, ink and paper can be called from the inner library, as long as the content of the newspaper is good, I will print the people's newspaper in the shortest possible time, and then sell it." ”

"How are the horses going to be sold?" Cao Huachun asked with interest.

Gong Yonggu said: "The royal family has a number of shops in Beijing, which can sell a batch on behalf of them, and then there are teahouses and wine shops in the city, inns and car shops, give a certain share, let them sell on behalf of them, and they dare not refuse the royal business." Then there is the establishment of newspaper stalls at the entrance of the most prosperous streets and alleys in the city, which are sold directly to the people. ”

"But in that case, it will take a lot of manpower, right?" Cao Huachun said.

Gong Yonggu nodded: "That's natural, but there are many poor people inside and outside the capital, and it is easy to summon enough manpower, and then transfer some stewards and accounting offices from various imperial stores and business schools to build shelves." ”

Cao Huachun said: "Do it with your heart, but you must take care of the accounts, I will send people to check it regularly, what Your Majesty hates most is corruption." ”

Gong Yonggu said: "Father-in-law, rest assured, I will never be greedy for a tael of silver." ”

......

At three o'clock in the morning, Wang Lao Er staggered out of the house and walked towards the teahouse on the corner. He is a broken family, his parents are dead, he has not married a daughter-in-law in his thirties, he lives by helping people on weekdays, and he has no serious career, and his biggest hobby is listening to books and listening to music and bragging about people.

"Yo, the second master is here, please sit inside." The little two in the teahouse greeted with a smile, but there was a thick mockery in his eyes.

Regarding Xiao Er's attitude, Wang Lao Er naturally didn't care, and entered the teahouse step by step and sat down in the old position.

"Or a pot of high foam?" Xiao Er asked with a smile while wiping the desktop in front of the second child.

Wang Lao Er nodded: "It's still a pot of high foam, by the way, go next door and help me buy two fires." ”

As he spoke, he took out four copper plates from his bosom and put them on the table.

"That second master, this store is a little busy, and some can't leave." Xiao Er squinted at the copper plate and said with a smile.

One burns two pennies, and he has to run half a street to buy it, and he is not even willing to give some errand money, so Xiao Er is naturally a little unhappy.

Wang Laoer's eyes glared: "Gave you face, didn't you?" If you don't go, I'll call the shopkeeper to help me buy it!" ”

"Don't mind, second master. I'll go. Xiao Er hurriedly grabbed the copper plate and ran out, it was not cost-effective to let the shopkeeper's reprimand deduct wages for this little thing.

scolded in my heart while running, this stingy old guy deserves to be in his thirties and can't get a wife!

"It's really a bad day, if I were the shopkeeper, such a little second would have been opened a long time ago." Wang Lao Er scolded and scolded.

"Hehe, second master, if you don't be so stingy and give him an extra penny, he will be busy for a long time." A regular customer at the table next to him said with a smile.

"Feng Bald, you think the second master has no money, right?" Wang Lao Er's eyes widened, "When the second master was on an errand in Shuntian Mansion, he earned dozens of taels in January!" ”

"Second master, don't mention the old yellow calendar, nine thousand years old have fallen, it's good that you haven't been caught." Feng Bald said with a smile, "It's okay to write a letter to someone like this, it's good to help someone who dies, second master, don't think about it anymore." ”

While speaking, Xiao Er bought back the fire, and Wang Lao Er was hungry, so he stopped arguing with Feng Bald, and ate and drank with tea, while eating and drinking, glaring at Feng Bald from time to time. Secretly said that if Lao Tzu was still helping in Shuntianfu, with your attitude, Lao Tzu would have arrested you in the Shuntianfu prison a long time ago.

Feng Bald didn't pay attention to him anymore, took out a newspaper he had just bought and read it, laughing while reading.

"Feng Ye, what are you looking at?" Wang Lao Er couldn't bear it anymore and asked with a straight face.

"The royal people's newspaper, ten cents a piece, there is a sale on the counter of the teahouse." Feng Bald glanced at Wang Lao Er and said lightly.

Ten yuan, that's five fires, enough for Lao Tzu's food for a day! Wang Lao Er suddenly shrunk his neck.

Looking at Wang Laoer's appearance, Feng Bald's eyes rolled, and he suddenly recited aloud.

"I saw that Zhang Liniang was a pretty woman, only born with thin willow eyebrows, a little cherry mouth, walking like the wind swinging the willows, looking back and smiling and blooming, Wang Sheng's eyes suddenly straightened!"

After reading this sentence, Feng Bald immediately lowered his voice, but Wang Lao Er heard it like a hundred claws scratching his heart, and he couldn't wait to snatch the newspaper from Feng Bald's hand.

"Wang Sheng's private meeting with Zhang Liniang, General Li vs. the red-haired ghost, this royal science newspaper is really good-looking." After thinking for a while, Feng Bald finally put down the newspaper in his hand.

"Feng Ye, can you?" Wang Lao Er said with a busy face.

"Little Er, the account." Feng Bald ignored him, rolled up a roll of newspaper and sandwiched it under his armpit, "It's really beautiful, and let me go home and read it slowly." ”

I ...... day

Wang Lao Er was so angry that he just wanted to scold his mother.

"Xiao Er, can you bring me the newspaper to see, and if it's good, buy a copy." After thinking about it, Wang Lao Er beckoned Xiao Er to come over again and discussed.

"No, no, no," Xiao Ertou shook like a rattle, "This time you just call the shopkeeper, no, this royal people's newspaper is a royal business, if you don't buy it, you can't see it!" ”

Hearing Xiao Er mention the royal family, Wang Lao Er suddenly wilted. I wanted to leave, but my eyes looked at the stacks of newspapers on the counter.

He usually likes to listen to books and listen to music, and he can memorize the jokes in the teahouse, but this is a joke that Wang Sheng Zhang Liniang has never heard before, if you don't look at it, you can't even sleep well.

Finally, Wang Lao Er gritted his teeth, took out ten cents from his arms, and slapped it heavily on the table.

"Little Er, give the second master a copy of that newspaper!"
