Zhenguan 10 years, February 11.

An ordinary day is neither a solar term nor a major event.

But on this day, Tianxia Bookstore launched a new thing.

The wooden sign with the price at the entrance of the bookstore was placed next to it.

It's still very concise and to the point—

"Anyone who buys or borrows books will receive a free newspaper."

"Buy it separately, one copy for ten cents."

Whether you have bought it or not, you can't help but be curious.

Originally, during this period of time, Tianxia Bookstore had already made a big splash in Chang'an City at a very low price, and what kind of newspaper suddenly came out at this time......

Although I don't know what it is, if it can be related to paper, it is already very cheap to sell for ten cents.

There were many people who walked into the bookstore with the same curiosity.

Like the first day of opening, on the first day of the newspaper's release, Lu Heng was also here.

After all, only he knows best what a newspaper is, and if Li Chengqian or Cheng Chumo are allowed to come, I am afraid that others will be speechless when they ask!

"Hey, why are you again?"

Lu Heng was surprised to find that the first customer who came today was actually the first teenager to borrow a book.

The young man shyly took out a book from his arms and handed it to him:

"I'm here to return the books."

"But just now before I entered the door, I saw a wooden sign placed on the side, saying that there was some newspaper...... Can I take a look? ”

Taking over the "Legend of the Ram", Lu Heng flipped through it casually and found that although it had been almost ten days since it was lent out, the book was intact.

There wasn't even a single wrinkle, let alone an oil stain on the pen and ink.

It seems that this is a good boy who loves books very much!

Lu Heng had a good impression of him, so he smiled generously:

"Since it is written at the door, anyone who comes to buy or borrow books can get a newspaper for free, so it is natural to give you a copy."

"Come here, the newspapers are all at the door, you can take them as you like, but you can only take one copy."

After his motion, the young man picked up a roll of paper from the bamboo basket at the door.

Of course, the paper that is given away for free is not as good as the one used to print the book, which is normal.

The boy's first reaction was to observe the paper itself, and found that it was the most ordinary hemp paper, and he was relieved.

But after unfolding the scroll of paper, and reading it for only a moment, his eyes widened!

Three large letters were printed on the top right of the newspaper.

Chang'an Daily!

Next to these three words, there is a line of small words, which reads-

All the interpretation rights of this newspaper belong to the East Palace, if you have any questions, please enter the East Palace for consultation.

After the boy entered the door, many people came in one after another, and they all wanted to see what kind of novelty this so-called newspaper was.

But when all the people who bought and borrowed books or paid directly for them got the newspaper, their expressions were not much different from those of teenagers.

Jaw-dropping, dumbfounded!

Only now did they know that this Tianxia Bookstore was the property of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it had no intention of concealing it at all, which was very arrogant!

Lu Heng glanced at them and found that everyone's eyes were staring at the upper right corner of the newspaper, so he reminded with a smile:

"What are you doing there? Check out the content! ”

"These are all documents and news that our bookstore has managed to get, if you are interested, you can also bring a few more copies for your relatives and friends so that they can also read them."

After his reminder, the people in the store all came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Everyone hurriedly looked at the ten lines, trying to quickly read everything in the newspaper.

But the more they looked, the more terrified they became.

The paper wasn't too big, not even half the size of the scrolls used by the painters.

But what is written on it is extremely informative.

In terms of government news, it was said that the imperial court was about to carry out a pilot reform of the imperial examination, and the first place was Chang'an, and the new system would be tried out in the spring of this year.

As for the specific system, let's listen to the next breakdown.

In terms of agricultural news, the newspaper announced a bombshell news, that is, now the imperial court has discovered a new high-yield crop, is experimenting with field breeding, and when the breeding is enough, it will slowly begin to spread to the world.

This time, the yield was not sold, and the yield per mu was 3,000 catties, 40 stones!

The first group of people to read the newspaper had not had time to accept this series of critical attacks, and when they looked down, they saw even more shocking news.

Xiao Yu, the prime minister of the dynasty, refused to recognize the yield of that high-yield crop because of his personal grudges, and made a life and death bet with others in the court, but lost.

It's okay to lose, but he's in debt.

Relying on the old and selling the old, relying on his old age, he has no merit and hard work, and His Majesty kicks his nose in the face if he doesn't want to move.

The originally noisy bookstore suddenly fell silent at a certain moment.

On the newspaper, which everyone can see, he scolds the prime minister of a country by name, and he is also the prime minister from the Xiao family in Lanling......

“…… The person who is in a life and death situation with Song Guogong should not be His Royal Highness the Prince, right? ”

"What kind of, this is impossible, how can Your Majesty agree!"

"Then how can such a thing be published in the publication run by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Don't worry about it so much, let's hurry up and buy a few more copies, and tell more about these news, in case we don't see it one day!"

"Makes sense, let's go!"

“……”

In a burst of whispering, Lu Heng's ears stood tall, and he listened to the whispered conversations of these people.

He laughed to himself.

Sure enough, human nature is the Ru in the melon field.

The major events of the imperial court are of course important, but at this time, there are not many real imperial examination candidates who go to the bookstore to join in the fun.

More are those who can read a few words but are not young and idle.

If the news comes out of their mouths, the scope will be wide!

From the hundreds of officials of the imperial court, to the peddlers and pawns, and even the peasant women passing by picking vegetables on the side of the road, they can talk to people for half an hour.

Oh, I don't know what kind of expression that old Mr. Xiao will have when he knows about this......

The face must be green, right?

He really wants to see it!

When the first batch of people in the bookstore went out, the second group of people who couldn't wait outside also poured in.

The lively atmosphere of discussion inside is the best advertisement.

Li Chengqian, who was in a wheelchair and guarding behind the counter, couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw this scene.

He patted Lu Heng and asked in a low voice:

"Wouldn't it be a bit too much for us to put Xiao Yu's matter in the newspaper?"

"After all, he is a prince of the country, and he is still the prime minister......"

Lu Heng glanced back at him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Do you know you feel sorry for him now?"

"It was in the eastern suburbs before, but his eldest grandson brought the homeless people to rectify us."

Li Chengqian immediately straightened out his attitude.

"Go on, you go on, I'll say more!"
