The first printing of wooden movable type was not bad, the handwriting was clear, and there were no traces of ink clumps.

Lan Bin looked at the Daming Daily printed by wooden movable type, and made sure that there was no big problem, so he took the newspaper and continued to wait for other Daming Daily printed with movable type.

"Young Master, can you let me see the Daming Daily?" Lan Wu, who was accompanied, looked at the Daming Daily in Lan Bin's hand and couldn't help but say.

Lan Bin's attention to Daming Daily made him full of curiosity about Daming Daily.

Now that the first issue of Daming Daily is freshly released, he naturally won't miss a look.

Lan Bin glanced at Lan Wu and casually handed the Daming Daily to Lan Wu. The latter took the Daming Daily, just glanced at it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Young Master, is there a problem with the printing of the Daming Daily?" Why print horizontally instead of vertically?"

He remembered that all the fonts in the books on the market were printed vertically. The Daming Daily's article, on the other hand, was printed horizontally.

At first glance, it gave him a strange feeling.

"Naturally, it's easy to read!"

Lan Bin smiled: "Look at it, doesn't it look much more comfortable than printing vertically?"

Lan Wu will be suspicious of the content of the Daming Daily, silently read it again, at the beginning it was indeed a little uncomfortable, how to look at it and feel weird.

But when he finished reading the six articles in the daily newspaper and got used to the way of reading horizontally, he really felt that reading horizontally was much more comfortable than reading vertically.

Especially in Daming Daily, the whole article uses vernacular text, as well as the punctuation marks mentioned by Lan Bin.

It seems that I am not tired at all, and I can easily understand the content of the article.

Unlike those Confucian classics and scripts bought on the market, it is a bit difficult to read vertically, and because there is no punctuation, you need to break the sentence carefully.

Thinking about it, he returned the Daming Daily to Lan Bin and said with a smile: "Young Master, it is indeed much more convenient to read the daily newspaper articles horizontally than vertically."

"And the daily newspaper articles have punctuation marks, so you don't have to struggle to understand the meaning."

"It's just—"

"Just what?" Lan Bin took the Daming Daily and said suspiciously.

Lan Wu subconsciously looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Young master, the collection of commercial taxes is a policy of the imperial court, and it is not appropriate for Daming Daily to discuss it so openly, right?"

"Don't worry, I'll go to the palace tomorrow to ask for a decree. It's going to be fine!" Lan Bin thought that Lan Wu was worried that he would cause trouble by openly discussing the government, so he couldn't help but reassure.

Lan Wuyi was stunned, waved his hand, and let the old Zhao Tou, who was with Lan Bin, stay away from Zhou Zhou and the others, before he said, "Young Master, I'm not worried about the emperor, but about the civil and military officials of the imperial court!"

"What do you mean?" Lan Bin frowned and said suspiciously.

Lan Wu looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, I have heard a lot of voices dissatisfied with the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes recently, not only civil officials, but also nobles."

"And the content of the first issue of your Daming Daily, young master, is almost all in support of the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes."

"I'm worried that after the release of Daming Daily, it will cause dissatisfaction among civil and military officials."

He still didn't say a word, that is, many noble families are openly and secretly manipulating merchants to make money.

And the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes is undoubtedly to cut meat from them.

It is enough that the Yongchang Houfu is willing to pay commercial taxes, but if he acts as a pioneer to support the imperial court in collecting commercial taxes, it will be too offensive.

Especially Yongchang Houfu, which is in the same vein as Xungui, if it is opposed to other nobles, I am afraid that it will not be tolerated by the Huaixi Xungui Group.

"When? What else do you hear?" Lan Bin raised his eyebrows and asked.

The collection of commercial taxes by the imperial court is to cut meat from vested interests, and some civil and military officials are dissatisfied, which is normal.

After the last time he talked to Zhu Yuanzhang about the issue of the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes, Zhu Yuanzhang had not reacted, making him wonder if Zhu Yuanzhang was fishing again.

Lan Wu hurriedly said: "Since the trial implementation of commercial taxes in the imperial court, the voices of civil and military officials have been endless. But it's all in private, and I don't dare to talk about it publicly."

"Okay, I got it! I know what to do!" Lan Bin nodded.

"Since the young master knows it in his heart, then I won't say more!"

Lan Wu looked at Lan Bin, didn't continue to struggle, but changed the topic and greeted Lan Bin.

Not long after, copper movable type and other printing plates successively printed the first issue of Daming Daily.

Lan Bin took a look at the first issue of Daming Daily printed on other printing plates, and made a comparison of them, and finally selected the first issue of Daming Daily printed by wooden movable type.

Prepare to bring the first issue of Daming Daily printed with movable type tomorrow and enter the palace to ask for a decree.
