After all, Li Shimin agreed to the proposal to start a newspaper in partnership with Zhang Zheng.

It is fully funded by Zhang Zheng and operated independently, and Zhang Zheng took half of the proceeds and handed over the other half to the national treasury. Li Shimin, on the other hand, provides a royal name.

However, Zhang Zheng has no money, and the shop that sells ice in partnership with Li Chengqian has not yet become famous, and there are not so many people who know it, so Zhang Zheng is very poor, and Zou Guogong's mansion is also very poor.

……

At this time, Chang'an was empty, and there seemed to be a lot less of the guards who could be seen at any time in the past.

There are sensitive people in Chang'an, and they have found that in addition to the personal guards of several princes' mansions in Chang'an, most of the battalions belonging to the Sixteen Guards outside Chang'an City have also been vacant.

However, the transfer of the 16 Guards Battalion had neither the documents of the military department, nor the compatibility of the two prime ministers, and there was no large-scale war in the surrounding areas.

Such an unprovoked large-scale troop movement is really puzzling.

Li Shimin's choice of generals this time is also quite delicate.

Headed by Li Ji, the second person in the Tang military, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda, Hou Junji, Chai Shao, plus Zhang Zheng's father Zhang Gongjin.

Li Ji, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda, are all generals who have no heels, they were subdued by Li Er when they defected to the Tang Dynasty from Li Mi, and Hou Junji was a splash on the street before he made a career.

Chai Shao, the Duke of Qian Guo, is Li Shimin's brother-in-law and the husband of Princess Zhaochang of Pingyang.

Only Zhang Gongjin was born in the Dunhuang Zhang family, which is one of the big families, but the Dunhuang Zhang family has always advanced and retreated together with the Longxi Li family, one of the five surnames and seven families, that is, Li Shimin's own family.

These six generals are all a community of interests tied to the Tang Dynasty, and they belong to the emerging magnates that have only flourished in recent years.

The rise of the new elite will inevitably touch and even re-divide the original interest structure that belonged to the family.

So Li Shimin deliberately picked them to fight in the ring with the big clans, and Li Er's hand was really beautiful.

Use the new interest groups that are of the same mind as Li Shimin to attack the old interest groups that run counter to Li Shimin.

Walking on the way home, Zhang Zheng, who realized it later, finally figured out that Li Erzhao and these people today, including all the joints he had entered the palace.

"No wonder Li Er showed hesitation on his face when I suggested summoning Fang Xiang and Eldest Sun Shangshu into the palace, and no wonder he would ask me to give him ideas." Zhang Zheng, who was walking on Suzaku Street, muttered to himself.

Fang Xuanling's Qinghe Fang clan is only a second-rate scholar, but Qinghe Qinghe is also entrenched in another behemoth - Qinghe Cui clan.

Behind the eldest grandson Wuji stands the entire Guanlong Group, and behind the two of them each represents a huge interest group.

Therefore, Li Shimin now has a bit of a sense of being the enemy of the world.

I kept thinking about it, thinking about it, and before I knew it, I was home.

Zhang Zheng looked up at the gilded characters on the plaque at the door of his house, and stepped into the threshold.

"Interesting." Zhang Zheng said something interesting, no one understood, probably only he understood.

If there is no money to run a newspaper, what will happen to children when they run out of money?

Of course, I asked for it from my elders!

Originally, Zhang Zheng planned to go to Li Chengqian to be the culprit, but after careful consideration, Li Chengqian's identity was too embarrassing.

If the newspaper is used well, its power will not be inferior to that of an army, and it is impossible for Li Er to allow anyone other than him to control public opinion in the Tang Dynasty.

Especially this person is his first heir, and everyone knows how Li Er ascended to the throne, so for the sake of Li Chengqian's life, Zhang Zheng gave up the idea of looking for him to be the wronged leader.

"Mother, mother." Zhang Zheng ran into the backyard in a hurry, shouting all the way.

"You kid, you have already been knighted by His Majesty, why are you so unstable, why are you shocked?" Motoshi seems to really like her two big birds.

Anyway, every time Zhang Zheng wants to see his mother, he can always see her feeding the birds when he comes directly to the back garden, as if the two birds will never be full.

"What's the matter?" Yuan glanced at his son, who was half a head taller than him, dissatisfied.

"That's the kind of mother, the child and His Majesty plan to make a partnership to do a business, don't I come to ask you for start-up capital." Zhang Zheng said with a smile.

"You, do business with Your Majesty?" Yuan glanced at the little son in surprise.

"Yes, it's the child, and Your Majesty, the two are in partnership." Zhang Zheng told his mother for sure.

"Go and go, don't deceive the old lady, Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, what kind of business will I do with you." Yuan waved his hand and said, thinking that his son was making fun of her.

What else does His Majesty need to do for business, the whole world is his.

"Mother, this matter is a long story, it is difficult for the child to explain it to you for a while, in short, you first fund your son with a little start-up capital, at most three days, and you will see." Zhang Zheng grinds hard bubbles, and pretends to be tender and cute with an old face.

Yuan's couldn't stand him anymore, and pushed away the big-faced plate that his son had brought over. Said disgustedly: "Let's talk about it first, the family's money is used to buy food, and there is not much money for my mother, how much do you want?" ”

Zhang Zheng saw that his mother promised to smile and stretched out two fingers, and when he saw that his mother's eyes were not good, he quickly withdrew one, and compared his index finger and said: "No more, no more, two thousand, no, one thousand is good." ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it, this little dowry that my mother brought from your grandfather's house will be hollowed out by you sooner or later, bastard." Yuan glanced at it with disgust.

"How can it, a month later, the child will pay you back 10,000." Zhang Zheng said with a grin.

The matter of money was solved, and Zhang Zheng ran out of the back garden happily.

A thousand copper coins, Zhang Zheng must not be able to carry it with him, so he can only leave it with his mother and find a way to get it out and spend it tomorrow.

How to deal with the newspaper matter, Zhang Zheng has to think about it again.

Li Shimin is also waiting to see what kind of surprise this thing can bring him.

Therefore, it is better to do this sooner rather than later.

It is best to take advantage of the fact that Li Chengqian is in the palace to help Li Shimin handle the government in the palace these days, and he does not have to go to the East Palace to accompany him to study, so that this matter can be handled properly.

The first is the way of printing, according to Zhang Zheng, the commonly used printing method in Datang at this time is still engraving printing, which is not only wasteful and laborious.

And the newspaper, since it is a gossip entertainment weekly, the content must be updated at any time.

And the number of issuances cannot be too small, after all, Chang'an alone has a population of nearly one million, not to mention, Zhang Zheng's ambition is not only Chang'an, but the entire Tang Dynasty.

"That's it, and tomorrow we'll get the printing stuff done." Zhang Zheng thought happily.

Compared with such a small thing as partnering with Li Chengqian to sell ice, starting a newspaper was Zhang Zheng's first chess piece in Datang.
