Chapter 106: Clever Fauber
After Xu Miaojin left, Lu Ning began to live a leisurely life again, he was not only drinking sour plum soup but reading books every day, but he was also leisurely.
On this day, the master of the county government suddenly came to Lu Ning's house and reported to him some of the daily work of the county government.
Lu Ning simply dozed off while listening, and said directly.
"Master Ma, didn't I say it some time ago, everything in the county government is handled by you and the county government, why did you send me home again?"
The master of the horse also had a bitter face, but he also had to explain.
"Lord County, you are the official of our Changning County, and if you don't sit in court for so long to handle cases, you will have some opinions from above."
Hearing this, Lu Ning became excited, and he said it immediately.
"Is it true? That's just great, if they really don't get happy, they can just remove me from my title and official position. ”
Master Ma listened with a confused expression, although he didn't understand what it meant, but he felt that Lu Ning's courage was commendable.
As the second officer, he can only continue to persuade and cannot go along with it.
"County Zun, I think you still can't take it too lightly, even if you don't give face to Shangguan, you can give the court a face, even if you go to the county government to show your face."
When the words were all said and done, Master Ma was about to cry, but Lu Ning had to respond.
"Okay, Lao Ma, even if I give you a face, I will go to the county office every day to deal with official affairs in the future."
Hearing this, Master Ma breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as this master is willing to listen to persuasion, then everything is easy to say.
Finally, Changning County returned to its former calm, and Lu Ning was still tidying up at home in addition to the office, waiting for Xu Miaojin's arrival.
While Fauber was preparing tea for him, he was a little embarrassed there.
Seeing Fu Bo's appearance, Lu Ning also went over directly and asked.
"Fu Bo, I told you a long time ago, we are nominally master and servant, but in fact we are like family, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, why are you hiding it so much?"
Fu Bo looked a little embarrassed, and when he saw Lu Ning asking, he said directly.
"Young master, you have been sorting out those books for a long time, and one of them has been sent to the study to be printed, which is a good thing, as you said this is a kind of cultural confidence, but it is also a difficulty for some people."
Lu Ning didn't understand what Fu Bo meant, and he asked with some puzzlement.
"You just say it directly, what the hell is going on, is it because those people can't afford to buy books, and the price is not high, it's just that you can buy one for 800 yuan, which is very cheap."
Fu Bo sighed, and he said to Lu Ning.
"It stands to reason that 800 wen is not too expensive for a book, but according to the current market price, 800 wen can buy more than 200 catties of grain."
Hearing Fu Bo say this, Lu Ning immediately understood what was going on.
Although the people of Changning County are much richer than other counties, many people are still reluctant to buy a book in 800 languages.
In this case, it is impossible to enjoy the cultural and entertainment function brought by this book at the same time as others.
Lu Ning smiled, he looked at Fu Bo and said.
"Fu Bo, you have followed me for so many years, I didn't expect that you still have such a heart of concern for the people, it is really rare, I think this Changning Zhi County should be in charge of you."
Fu Bo was a little at a loss, he listened to Lu Ning's joke, and he replied helplessly.
"Young master, the appointment and dismissal of officials is an important weapon of the imperial court, how can I be so joking, I am just an ordinary old servant, I can serve you well, that is my greatest wish."
Lu Ning also knew that he couldn't just joke with Fu Bo, so he said.
"Don't worry, I've actually considered this matter for a long time, since you say it now, let's just do it in advance."
Fu Bo let out a long sigh of relief, since the young master had also prepared in advance, it would be better, so he asked.
"Young master, what are your preparations, can you tell me in advance, and let me have a good bottom in my heart."
Lu Ning pointed to the book in his hand and said with a smile.
"If I just publish the whole book, it might seem a bit expensive, I can run a newspaper, and the newspaper has news and some funny jokes and so on, and it's very cheap, and I'm going to price it for two pennies a piece."
Fu Boxin said that his young master is really capable, and anything can be solved by him.
However, what the hell is this newspaper, after all, he and Lu Ning are not from the same era, so there is no way to understand.
"Young Master, what is a newspaper? I really don't have the knowledge to make you laugh. ”
Lu Ning smiled, in fact, he didn't blame Fu Bo, he didn't know where there would be such a thing in this era, so he had to explain in simple terms.
"Fu Bo, you should have also seen what the imperial court's newspaper looks like, that thing is actually a kind of newspaper, but it is all about some important events of the imperial court, and it is only issued to officials above the fourth grade."
Fauber is also a very thoughtful person, and naturally the drum does not need to be beaten with a heavy hammer, and he immediately understands what is going on.
So, he tried to ask Lu Ning.
"Young master, I seem to understand what you mean, this newspaper is actually similar to Di Bao, but it can be sold publicly, and it is open to everyone, and the people can also buy it, and the content takes into account both timeliness and interest."
Lu Ning jumped up from the recliner at once, and he held Fu Bo's hand and said.
"Fu Bo, your brain is so smart, it's just a little bit thorough, it's really a bit condescending for you to be a housekeeper, I'm not messing with you, I'm going to recommend you to be an official in the future."
