Even though Lin Ran had a good impression of the crown princess, he was not interested in her nephew Zhu Xiaotian's suggestion.

Because there is no copyright at this time, even if everything he writes in the future is handed over to Zhu Xiaotian, ranking first on the best-selling list, there is no money.

And in this era, it is more important to emphasize literature than military force and more light on business, and the reputation he has accumulated is likely to be wasted because of this money.

Zhu Xiaotian had a hotel in the capital, and after tasting Lin Chao's wine, he gave all the wine he brought to other generals.

"Lin Zhenren wants to make contributions through military training, and he can't do it without money. Although our Zhu family looks inconspicuous, there are many industries, and our cooperation will definitely make you feel like a tiger. ”

After hearing this, Lin Chao neither took out a cigarette nor a wine, but only ordered the maid to pour tea.

Poor Dao believes that Boss Zhu's business is not big enough. ”

Zhu Xiaotian smiled: "What kind of business is called big?"

Lin Lan asked, "Do you have a fleet?"

"Yes, there are more than 30 river boats, and no one dares to stop them on the Bianhe River. ”

"No sea vessels?"

Zhu Xiaotian is strange.

"What's the use of asking for sea ships? The maritime business is occupied by Tianfang and other Fanbang people, and the officials do not allow the Han people to deal in profiteering goods, so could it be that real people have a way?"

Lin Chao also found this information, and the Arabs had a monopoly on the world's maritime trade during this period.

Although the Great Song Dynasty opened up maritime trade, Fuzhou was one of the world's shipping centers.

But there are still many restrictions, which is similar to the fact that the descendants of Ning and Friends are not like domestic slaves.

Lin Lan said: "The breadth of maritime business is hundreds of times that of rivers, and if you can't see this, you have nothing to say." ”

Zhu Xiaotian was silent for a long time, and arched his hand: "I really don't know about this, if I have a fleet at sea, what advice do real people have?"

Lin Lan stretched out his hand, and a map appeared in his hand.

Zhu Xiaotian is no longer strange, it is rumored that Lin Chao can conjure all kinds of strange-shaped items, let alone a piece of paper.

Lin Chao pointed to an island off the southeast coast.

"Liuqiu is a vassal to the Liao State, do you have any ideas?"

"What thoughts?"

"Conquer it. ”

The officials were unwilling to do this, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would oppose it, and Zhu Xiaotian was immediately surprised.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops, countless grains and grasses, and the wind and waves at sea are very strong, and it is very easy to capsize. And even if you get it, what if you get it? It's just a bunch of wild people, and the backwoods can't be called backwood. ”

Of course, Lin Chao knew that there were many miasma in the mountains of Liuqiu Island, and the people on it still fished and hunted for a living, and they were far from the civilized world.

Otherwise, so many emperors don't pay attention to it, in fact, it is unprofitable.

Only after the rise of the navy of maritime trade is it a good place to transit.

Lin Chao deliberately said: "Those tens of thousands of savages are brave and good at fighting. Give them weapons, insert them into the Liao State from the rear, and allow them to build cities and emigrate. ”

Zhu Xiaotian was even more surprised.

"By no means, if time goes on, it will be a Western Xia, and the officials will definitely not agree. ”

Lin Chao said: "That is the land of Liao, why do you want the Zhao official family to agree, you should ask Emperor Liao Tianzuo if he agrees." ”

Hahahaha, Zhu Xiaotian laughed heartily.

"It's really interesting to talk to real people. ”

He stood up, looking at the map and groaning.

"This is a big business, according to the idea of a real person, who is the last to ask?"

"Of course, it is still the king, but it is just changed from being a minister to Liao to being a minister to Song Song. ”

Zhu Xiaotian became short of breath, Lin Chao meant to replace the King of Liuqiu, this is to tear the earth and seal the marquis.

More than that, this is to be the emperor, what an ambitious plan.

He also said: "The official family will definitely not agree to send a large army, he only wants to deal with the Liao State." ”

Lin Lan said: "Liuqiu is a vassal country of the Liao State, and the poor road does not need a large army, only 10,000 elite men. ”

Zhu Xiaotian shook his head, it was far from enough, and it was estimated that he would not even be able to go to the coast.

Lin Chao had his own idea in his heart, his idea was that there were so many idlers in the city and countryside, and there were petty thieves everywhere, so it was better to issue a recruitment order.

As long as you dare to beg, part of the occupied land will go to private individuals, and part of the captured savages will also belong to private individuals.

To put it bluntly, he is a king, and he is a prince with real power in land and population.

"According to the poor road estimates, with the current technology, there is only a 10% chance of winning. ”

Lin Chao didn't finish speaking, he still had an ambitious plan.

Zhu Xiaotian said: "If you can replace the king of Liuqiu, no matter how small the chance of winning, someone will do it, but if you lose, it will be the sin of killing your head." ”

Lin Lan said: "You can ask the people of heaven to help, and give them a piece of land when the time comes." ”

Zhu Xiaotian shook his head, his face full of surprise, this business is too big.

"Is it really 10,000 people who can conquer the Ryukyus?"

Lin Lan said: "It's just an army of 10,000 people, and the others don't count." ”

"But there are less than 2,000 under the command of real people, when will there be 10,000?"

"Maybe next year. ”

Zhu Xiaotian was shocked, and Lin Chao's words lit a fire in his heart. Whether it's a profit or a loss, it's exciting to go and seek to be the king.

Lin Chao said again: "Poor Dao has another proposal, see if you dare to do it." ”

Zhu Xiaotian said: "It depends on whether there is any profit." ”

Lin Chao thought to himself, you are definitely sent by the prince to tempt, what to make money or not, the world belongs to the old Zhao family.

He took out a piece of paper and drew on it.

"It's called a newspaper, and it writes about the news events or gossip rumors that happen every day, and conveys the whole of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After listening to Lin Chao's detailed explanation, Zhu Xiaotian was taken aback again, this is really a big plan.

It's just that no matter how you look at it, you can't make money, he asked.

Lin said: "You can sell advertisements, for example, if someone writes a new poem and hopes to spread it to the world, let him pay to publish it on it." For example, each city has a special page, and there are restaurants in Tokyo City, and you can also make announcements on it. ”

Zhu Xiaotian said with a smile: "I understand, Lin Zhenren's new work will also be on it in the future." ”

Lin Chao said: "As long as you dare to do it, my psalms will only be on it, and those who tell stories will send people to collect money." ”

"According to the real person's opinion, how big is a newspaper, how many days does it come out, and how much does it cost?"

"It's a matter of the details, it's about whether you do it or not. Do it, you can talk about anything. ”

Zhu Xiaotian thought about it and suddenly found a problem, in this case, he must not arrange manpower in every city in the Great Song Dynasty, which is equivalent to ears and eyes all over the world.

He pondered, feeling that Zhao Huan would be interested, so he said to think about it.

......

The matter of publishing the newspaper soon got an answer, and Zhu Xiaotian decided to move forward with this new thing.

The next step is to discuss the details, the name is "Da Song Morning Post", Lin Chao accounts for one share, and Zhu Xiaotian accounts for nine shares.

Usually publish a version once a week, and if you encounter a big event, increase the speed.

Each newspaper has a total of four pages and has a cover.

Lin Ran provided a few staplers and asked Zhu Xiaotian to find someone to imitate them, and if they couldn't make them, they would bind them with needle and thread.

As for the content, it is naturally the top priority, and Zhu Xiaotian said that there will be a special person to handle it.

Regarding money and personnel, Lin Chao gave 5,000 taels of silver and 50 people, and asked each city to put one for the collection of Lin Lan's own works.

The rest of Zhu Xiaotian went to solve.
