Chapter 111: Today, I, Li Ke, am a Tang troll
Yo? Is this vomiting blood? Li Ke was a little surprised, this bearing capacity is too poor, I haven't started scolding yet? To be honest, Li Ke scolded too much, and there were not many opportunities to point at these people and scold.
Li Ke underestimated the importance of fame in this era or ancient literati. Especially these old literati, even more so, at this age, they have nothing else to ask for, just ask for a name, and the result is ......
You must know that in later generations, Fang Xiaoru dared to let Zhu Di punish his ten clans for the sake of fame, although this is a rumor, and Zhu Di did not punish his ten clans, but together with Fang Xiaoru, a total of 874 lives, just for the sake of fame, you can imagine how important this thing is to these literati.
If this is the real ten clans, it will start at least four figures.
"Come on, pass on the imperial doctor!" Li Shimin also just came back to his senses, and hurriedly spoke loudly.
The main thing is that no one expected Li Ke to come up and spray, the point is that the others who sprayed were speechless, this is not the same way as His Royal Highness the King of Shu in the past!
Several eunuchs had already rushed to the side of the imperial historian and carried him out.
"Hey, Lao Cheng, what did His Royal Highness the King of Shu mean by what he said just now? Isn't it good to only do the seven things of "filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness and honesty"? Who is perfect? Next to him, Yu Chi Dasha was asking Cheng Yanjin in a low voice, the question was his voice...... It's a whisper, but most people can hear it.
"You're so stupid, think about it, you've done seven things, nothing?" Cheng Yanjin also said in a low voice.
"Shameless...... Uh-oh...... I understand, I understand, when did His Royal Highness the King of Shu be the same as them, this scolding is not pleasant at all. Yu Chi didn't know if he was really stupid, and his face suddenly realized, but the voice was not small.
Ministers: "...... don't talk and no one treats you as a dumb person!"
Can directly scolding shamelessness and scolding shamelessness like this be a hurtful amount? This thing has been buffed! Although Li Shimin was enlightened and did not respect Confucianism alone, in fact, the scholars of this era basically learned Confucianism.
The status of Confucius in the minds of scholars is very high, otherwise Li Shimin would not have named Confucius as a "sage" in the second year of Zhenguan.
Scolding them with the words of the ancestors of the scholars is not only a shameless question, this also has another meaning, forgetting the ancestors! This is the biggest insult to readers!
For a moment, the court was silent.
"Minister, there is something to play!" After a moment of silence, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up directly.
"Speak." Li Shimin won't stop it, anyway, you say it.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is reasonable, but the matter is urgent, the Tang Weekly is a weapon of national propaganda, if it is not used properly, it is easy to cause huge damage, the situation in front of the Suzaku Gate yesterday morning is the biggest proof, so, for the sake of the country, for the sake of the court, for the sake of Your Majesty, if it is proposed to take the Tang Weekly back to the imperial court franchise, it is shameless, then the minister is willing to be this shameless person."
"The minister implores His Majesty to take the Tang Weekly Newspaper under the exclusive jurisdiction of the imperial court." The eldest grandson Wuji bent down and saluted Li Shimin.
"The minister implores His Majesty to take the Tang Weekly Newspaper under the exclusive jurisdiction of the imperial court." Immediately, several ministers followed Changsun Wuji to stand up, and some people kept standing up, many of these people usually don't deal with Changsun Wuji, and many times they even disagree politically, but at this moment they are standing together.
Including Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng all stood up.
To be honest, Li Ke suddenly felt his father's helplessness and pressure at this moment.
"Li Keke still has something to say?" Li Shimin asked.
"Yes!" Li Ke said with a calm face, "Qi Guogong said, for the sake of the imperial court, since it is for the sake of the imperial court, why is it not sent by the Hongwen Pavilion to supervise the content of the Datang Weekly, and the Datang Weekly is still under my management." I'm not afraid to tell you that thanks to the efforts of the craftsmen, my papermaking technology has indeed improved, and the cost of paper produced for each newspaper is about 2 yuan, which is the selling price of my shop, and I don't charge a penny of profit. ”
"And Datang Weekly is 5 yuan a piece, but the cost of ink, printing costs, labor costs, transportation costs, etc. adds up to more than 10 yuan, that is to say, every time a Datang Weekly is issued, it will lose 7 yuan! 5 Wen is a copy that I have carefully calculated, and it is a price that almost a little richer people in Datang can afford, so that it can be popularized to the greatest extent! ”
"The day before yesterday, Chang'an City issued a total of 50,000 copies, that is to say, the loss the day before yesterday was about 350 yuan! This number is not large, but in order to maintain the effect of Datang Weekly, it is the minimum limit to be issued every week, that is, every seven days, which is about 52 weeks a year, and the total loss is 18,200 yuan! ”
"More than 18,000 guan may not seem like much to the imperial court, but it is equivalent to 151,000 stone brown rice, which is a month's ration for nearly 50,000 people! And the number of people who starved to death due to the disaster in Datang last year was only more than 17,000! This is still the result of timely disaster relief, so this year's loss of 18,200 yuan! Does it mean that if there is a disaster this year, 50,000 more people will die?! ”
"I can subsidize this money for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, but take back the imperial court, who will pay for this money?!"
Li Ke's series of numbers made everyone a little stunned, at this time, everyone was not used to throwing out anything directly, but when Li Ke said this, everyone had an intuitive concept.
No one doubts that a newspaper in Li Ke's mouth costs 12 wen, because in their opinion, 12 wen is cheap and can't be cheaper.
"Then if His Royal Highness the King of Shu is still willing to contribute to the Tang Dynasty, after the Tang Weekly Report is returned to the imperial court, His Royal Highness the King of Shu can still contribute this money." The eldest grandson Wuji said without being salty.
It's a shameful remark, but to these ministers, it's nothing at all.
"Could it be that this Tang Weekly is in the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Shu for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the recovery of the imperial court, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu is unwilling to serve the Tang Dynasty?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked again.
"What? Do you still want to say in the next step, I, Li Ke, want to rebel? Li Ke asked lightly, for this kind of topic, he was not afraid at all, and others did not dare to say the word rebellion, but Li Ke, it was drizzling.
"That's not going to happen, after all, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is used to being alone, and he doesn't have that mind when he wants to." The eldest grandson Wuji said lightly.
The meaning of these words is nothing more than sarcasm Li Ke, it's not that I look down on you, just you? If you want to rebel, you have to have someone to do it! Do you have talent?! No!
"In this way, Qi Guogong just wants the Tang Weekly to be collected and operated by the imperial court, and then I, Li Ke, are still responsible for spending this money?" Li Ke said with a sneer.
"If His Royal Highness the King of Shu can sympathize with His Majesty and is willing to pay this money, it will naturally be a righteous act for the country and the people. The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand at Li Ke.
"Speaking of leaving a name in history, where is the historian!" Li Ke raised his head directly and asked.
"The minister is here." In the far corner, Chu Suiliang stood up. Oh, it's a celebrity, I didn't expect that the current historian is Chu Suiliang, and the historians are also divided into different historians, just like Chu Suiliang will be promoted by Li Shimin in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, and he is responsible for recording Li Shimin's daily life, which is also a kind of historian.
"Will what you say today be recorded?" Li Ke asked.
"Yes!" Chu Suiliang only replied with one word, they did not participate in the government politics, and were only responsible for recording.
