"Whew, it's finally changed!"

It took Lan Bin two days to change the article and copy it again, before he exhaled a long breath, picked up the article happily and looked at it, and a sense of accomplishment arose.

After a while, he silently read the content of the article again, and after making sure that there was no problem, he put the article on the desk, called Thursday, and ordered, "On Thursday, you have someone go and inform Wu Junbo and let them come to the house!"

"Yes, young master!" Thursday nodded and hurried out of the study.

Lan Bin and the others had dried the ink, folded the article, put it on top of the books piled up in the corner of the desk, and then took out a piece of white paper, wrote and drew on it, and designed the layout of Daming Daily.

The finalization of his article is equivalent to the first edition of Daming Daily, and the countdown has begun.

For the rest, Wu Junbo and others will analyze the benefits of the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes from different angles according to the ideas of his article and the information they have collected.

Don't look at Wu Junbo and others, although they can't compare to those lifters, jinshi, and even some top-notch talents. But they started by reading and writing articles.

It is not very difficult for them to write a few vernacular essays.

Soon, the articles needed for the first edition of Daming Daily will be written.

When the content comes out, it will be handed over to the printer, typesetting and trial printing, and then handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang for review and approval, and it can be officially printed and distributed in large quantities.

As for why it was submitted to Zhu Yuanzhang for review before the release of Daming Daily, first, Daming Daily is still a new thing for Daming, and it involves a wide range of things, and it must be approved by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Second, the content of the first issue of Daming Daily involves the commercial tax that the imperial court is trying out, which is very sensitive.

It will even impact the fixed concepts of many readers.

It needs to get Zhu Yuanzhang's approval and support.

Third, Zhu Yuanzhang is the major shareholder of Daming Daily, and he should have seen the first Daming Daily.

"Young Master, someone has been sent to inform you, and it is estimated that it will take about half an hour. They're going to come to the house!"

When Lan Bin had just finished designing the layout of the Daming Daily, he walked in from outside on Thursday, replied, and said, "In addition, there was a word from the concierge just now, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Jin sent someone to invite the young master to come over to the mansion!"

Here it comes!

As soon as Lan Bin heard this, he knew that the idea that he would invite himself to his palace after returning to Beijing had come true. Finally, I took a look at the designed layout of the Daming Daily and put down the pen.

Only then did he raise his head and look at Thursday, think for a moment, and instruct, "You go and tell the porter, and say that I am sick and it is inconvenient to see guests. When you are cured, you will come to the door to apologize!"

"In addition, if there are other princely invitations in the future, they will also do the same."

"Young Master, will you offend King Jin by doing this?" Thursday worried.

King Jin has a high status, not to mention the military power, he is still the emperor's own son and the younger brother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Although the young master is the son of Yongchang Hou and is deeply favored by the emperor, he is still a courtier in the face of King Jin.

Such a rash refusal and brushed the face of the King of Jin, wouldn't it offend the King of Jin.

Offended King Jin, can the young master's life be better?

Lan Bin waved his hand and said, "It's okay to offend, we are Yongchang Houfu and a firm princeling, we should keep our distance from other princes, and it's the same if we offend or not!"

He didn't say a word, rejecting King Jin at this time is better than rejecting King Jin in person, and it is better than intersecting too much with King Jin and other princes, which provokes Zhu Yuanzhang's dislike.

"Got it, young master!" Although Thursday didn't understand this, it didn't hurt to hear Lan Bin say that it was okay to offend, so he didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked out of the study again.

"Young master, the carpenters in the side courtyard said that what you wanted, and it has been made, please come over!"

Not long after he left the study, another maid came in from outside and saluted.

The globe was made?

Lan Bin was stunned, and immediately thought of the globe, stood up in surprise, ignoring the layout plan of the Daming Daily on the table, and hurriedly bypassed the desk: "Take me quickly!"

"Yes, young master

！」

The maid led Lan Bin all the way to the side courtyard where the carpenters were.

Entering the side courtyard, Lan Bin looked at the sundries left behind by the carpenters all over the courtyard, and then looked at the carpenters in the courtyard, stopped them from saluting, and asked, "Where is the finished globe?" Show it to me!"

"Young Master, here!"

The carpenters moved out of the way, revealing a table on which lay a well-made wooden ball the size of a washbasin.

A small wooden stick is worn in the middle of the wooden ball, which is fixed at both ends with a bow link.

The base is set on a wide, carved dragon base.

At first glance, it looks exactly like the globe of later generations.

This is the Daming version of the globe.

Lan Bin's eyes lit up when he saw the globe, and he stepped forward and touched the wooden ball with his fingers, and the wooden ball rotated, and the wooden ball was painted, carved, and distinguished by different colors.

Then Lan Bin touched the lines and patterns on it with his fingers, and the more he touched it, the more happy he was in his heart, the globe itself was of little use, but it was too helpful to broaden his horizons.

He absolutely believed that the appearance of the globe, even if it was forced by various reasons, failed to make Zhu Yuanzhang change the maritime ban policy and change the established national policy of the imperial court, it could still plant a tree in their hearts.

As long as it is cared for with care, it will blossom and bear fruit sooner or later.

"Young Master, look at this ball, is it okay?" Among the carpenters, a middle-aged carpenter saw Lan Bin touching the wooden ball, his expression was strange and changeable, and he didn't speak, and he felt a little apprehensive.

Lan Bin came back to his senses and corrected, "This is not a ball, this is a globe!"

What is a globe?

Could it be the young master, giving this ball a name?

But isn't this a ball?

The middle-aged carpenter and the other carpenters glanced at each other, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes, and then said, "Then young master, what kind of instrument is this, are you still satisfied?" Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

"No, you've done a good job, you've done everything I wanted!" Lan Bin shook his head.

Although the accuracy of the pattern in this globe in front of him is quite different from that of later generations, it is his fault, and it has little to do with the carpenters.

As far as the workmanship of the globe is concerned, it is quite elegant.

All the carpenters breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showed joy, and the young master's reward was stable.

"Alright, I'll take the globe. Go to the accounting office and receive your reward."

Lan Bin looked at the globe, and when he picked up the globe and was about to carry it back to his study, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, you are making a wooden box for the globe according to the proportion of the globe. Be sure to do it beautifully."

"Yes, young master!" The carpenters didn't have time to be happy, so they hurriedly said.

Lan Bin said, "There is also the matter of the globe, which must be kept secret. Do not leak half a sentence to the outside world. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

As he spoke, the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a serious, cold expression.
