Chapter Seventy-Three: Opportunity
Lu Fang hesitated: "The Great Zhou Wenbao popularized the nineteen states, does it take a lot of silver taels?" ”
He Zixuan nodded vigorously, "It's a big cost, think about it, the Great Zhou Dynasty has a total of 328 prefectures and prefectures, 1,573 counties, from the East China Sea to the Western Regions, how far is the southern border across the northern border?" “
Lu Fang frowned when he heard this, as if he had taken it for granted before.
This world does not have the Internet, mobile phones, and computers in the previous life, and it is not easy for information to spread quickly.
If there is no expansion of the army in the north and south, perhaps the treasury can allocate funds to popularize the Great Zhou Wen Bao.
At this juncture, it is indeed not appropriate for reform.
"Is there no other way?"
Lu Fang was unwilling to ask.
He Zixuan shook his head:
"As far as I know, the transmission notes can only be useful at a certain distance, if there is one person standing at a certain distance, I don't dare to think about the number, and the teleportation array is even more impossible, and the large number of Five Element Stones required for the arrangement is extremely expensive."
Lu Fang was silent.
After a while, he said: "If you pass the note, I think you can give it a try, and you don't need to find someone to stay in a specific location, you can find a distributor of Da Zhou Wen Bao instead." ”
"Distributors?"
He Zixuan looked puzzled.
Lu Fang then remembered that Da Zhou did not have the word distributor, so he explained to He Zixuan what a distributor was.
"Oh, you're talking a bit like a businessman." He Zixuan thought for a while and said: "This idea is really good, but the Great Zhou Wenbao let the merchants sell it, and the household department did not agree. ”
"How could the Ministry of Household disagree? The popularization of the newspaper can allow the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty to read Yawen and understand the national policy, and can also increase the commercial taxes in various places to enrich the national treasury. ”
Lu Fangzheng said.
He Zixuan nodded in agreement and said: "You are right, but the Great Zhou Wenbao is selling well in Shangjing, and the household department has long proposed that it is necessary to make money from official sales to enrich the treasury, and although the progress of popularization is slow, there is no need to share the money with others." ”
"In addition, you scolded Fan Sheng, the head of the household, don't say that he has a legitimate reason, even if he doesn't, he will oppose it."
"Taking a step back, even if the household department agrees, the cost of Confucian scholars writing newspapers in various places is a big expense."
"Merchants from all over the world have to invest a lot of silver taels, so they naturally have to consider interests, and they may not be optimistic about Wenbao, if it weren't for your wonderful Yawen story, Wenbao would not have caught fire in Shangjing."
"It's not easy to convince these businessmen alone."
"All in all, it is more difficult to popularize the Great Zhou Wenbao than you think."
He Zixuan sighed, sat on the chair, took a sip of the tea bowl, and said, "I advise you not to think about it." By the way, the Blood Slaughter Curse on your body, the Holy Lord asked you to go to Qintian Courtyard tomorrow to wash the strips. ”
"Got it."
Lu Fang replied and shook his head helplessly.
He Zixuan changed the topic and said: "The manuscript of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is almost exhausted, can you still write it in the future?" ”
Lu Fang smiled bitterly and nodded, he was really busy for a while, he almost forgot about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
When I entered the small upper realm, it was serialized twice a day, and the follow-up was once a day, and it has been serialized to sixty-seven chapters, and the previous manuscript is indeed about to bottom out.
If you can shape your body with ink-colored flowers for Shuling Yan Chixia, can you let you write it instead? I feel like I can look into it.
He Zixuan said with envy:
"You don't know, just because of the Dream of Red Mansions and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms you wrote, how well the Great Zhou Wenbao sold, when I came, I heard a group of dolls shouting loudly, I am Guan Yunchang who has passed five levels and killed six generals, who dares to fight with me?"
"Yesterday I went to the song and dance studio to drink two glasses of wine, and all the people were talking about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
"Some say that Cao Cao and Liu Bei cook wine and talk about heroes, some say that Zhang Fei scared off 500,000 troops with a roar, Zhao Ziyun rode the savior seven in and seven out, Zhuge Liang tongue battle group Confucianism, grass boat borrowed arrows, burned Chibi, Kong Ming three qi Zhou Gongjin, both Shengyu and He Shengliang ......"
"Just listening to it makes me feel refreshed!"
"Wen Guanhou, you won't write to death about them again this time, right? Dream of Red Mansions, you wrote Lin Daiyu, Miaoyu and Wang Xifeng to death, but many people are dissatisfied with you. ”
After speaking, He Zixuan had an expression of "You're not that stupid, are you?"
Lu Fang smiled, "Guan Yu will die, Zhang Fei will die, Liu Bei will also die, Zhuge Liang will also die, people will inevitably die." ”
He Zixuan blinked, incredulous: "Wen Guanhou, you must be joking with me." ”
"I'm serious."
Lu Fang doesn't care, who let you ask.
After more than ten breaths, He Zixuan's screams came from the Wenguan Marquis's mansion.
……
Shangjing Imperial Palace.
The gate of the Chintenin Temple.
Lu Fang waited for the tea, and finally saw Zhou Heng in the prison, the old man with gray hair, with a kind smile on his face, and welcomed him in.
At the end of the straight corridor, there is a dojo of the gossip in the book of Tuluo of the outer river, which is in the eight directions of the five elements and eight trigrams, and each has a dragon pattern stone pillar.
In the center, a man is staring at the stone pillar with his back to him.
Zhou Heng bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, Marquis Wen Guanhou brought it." ”
The man turned around, and sure enough, it was Zhou Tianzi Ji Feng, Lu Fang hurriedly bowed, and smiled bitterly in his heart, "It's really unfortunate, I knew that I would come later." ”
"No need to be polite."
Zhou Tianzi chuckled and said, "Wen Guanhou, do you know what these are?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Fang raised his head and looked at the place where Zhou Tianzi pointed his finger, which was the eight stone pillars on the Five Elements Bagua, and after careful observation, he found that only the dragon patterns of the three pillars were golden, and the dragon patterns on the remaining pillars were transparent.
"Wechen doesn't dare to speculate."
Lu Fang replied cautiously, how did he know what these broken pillars were? If it's wrong, it's better not to say it.
Zhou Tianzi turned his back to his body, and said in a somewhat solemn voice:
"These dragon pattern qi luck pillars are used by the Qintian Academy to explore the national fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the eight pillars here, each of which is two zhang long, the original Great Zhou national fortune was only more than five zhang, it is because of you that it rose to six zhang half a month ago."
Lu Fang naturally heard that half a month ago, the fortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty rose by four feet, causing the barbarian region in the north to shrink back, and the Zhenbei army won a great victory!
But this is not his credit alone, if it weren't for Pei Kuang and Ling Xiao Dao and others, he would be helpless alone.
Thinking of this, Lu Fangzheng said: "Weichen didn't dare to ask for credit alone, all of this was caused by everyone's concerted efforts. ”
"Hahaha......"
Zhou Tianzi raised his head and laughed, "You don't need to be too humble, you will be rewarded for your merits, and the widow will be rewarded for his merits, but you must be the first to merit." It just so happened that the widow ran into you today, and I heard that you intend to popularize the Great Zhou Newspaper? ”
Hearing this, Lu Fang said excitedly: "Your Majesty, if the newspaper can be popularized in the nineteen prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be beneficial and disadvantageous for the people and the country. ”
Zhou Tianzi was silent for a while, and sighed: "The demons in the north and south are constantly eyeing each other, and they must expand the army to deter, and the Hubu Shangshu still calls the widow poor, and there is really no way to popularize the newspaper." ”
Lu Fang sighed in his heart, and the saint said it himself, it seems that it is impossible to popularize the Great Zhou Wenbao in a short time.
Zhou Tianzi continued: "It's not that there is no way, but there will be many dangers, if you are willing to do it, there is a forty percent chance." ”
