Great Tang princess

Chapter 136 The content of the first issue is confirmed
Geng Yunqiang has also heard that this Highness seems to be a disciple of the famous general Liu Rengui.

Although I don't know why I came to find him a prison guard as a training partner, but now that I have talked about this, I have no room to refuse.

Besides, since breaking the wrist with the princess, Geng Yunqiang felt that the princess was not so easy to get hurt.

With such great strength, the defense of the body is naturally needless to say, maybe I have to be careful not to be hurt by this Highness.

So he nodded: "If that's the case, then the general will definitely obey!"

Li Yuechen beckoned, took the gun stick from Fulai, and twirled it in his hand: "Then hurry up and try it."

Seeing Li Yuechen's skilled movements, Geng Yunqiang had a rough judgment on her current level.

Xin said that he is indeed an apprentice taught by Liu Rengui, and his basic skills are quite solid.

Afterwards, he sent someone to bring over a spear stick for training: "There is no rattan armor suitable for His Highness's figure here, how about..."

"It's okay, let's try it today and talk about it next time." Li Yuechen waved his hand, holding a gun stick in his posture.

……

About half an hour later, Li Yuechen walked out of the training ground with a satisfied face.

He twisted his neck, made a "quack, quack" sound, and returned to the palace with a satisfied smile on his face.

In the training ground, Geng Yunqiang put his hands on his knees, calming down his shortness of breath.

Sweat dripped down the ground from the tip of his nose, until now, he was surprised in his heart.

It is really unexpected that this Highness is not only born with supernatural power, but also has such strong endurance.

She actually did practical training for nearly half an hour without stopping... In time, this princess might really be able to take on the title of the world's number one expert!
And Li Yuechen also felt that this kind of actual combat training was completely different from the usual practice, and his physical strength was exhausted very quickly. After only half an hour, he also felt a sense of fatigue.

After returning to Anfu Hall, Li Yuechen lay down on the mat and planned to take a good rest.

To be honest, this was the first time since she started practicing martial arts that she felt physically exhausted.

Shangguan Wan'er knelt beside her and reminded: "Your Highness, the weather has started to turn cold, it's better not to lie on the ground."

"Yes, I see." Li Yuechen agreed, and closed his eyes on his own.

……

It has just arrived in September, and the weather has obviously turned cooler. Although the sun is still hot at noon, there is already a cool breeze in the morning and evening.

During the recent period, Li Yuechen would go to the guard's training ground almost every other day to do actual combat training with Geng Yunqiang.

Now whether it's a spear or a double hammer, Li Yuechen feels that he is using it more and more smoothly.

The only embarrassing thing is that every few days when I go to Master Liu Rengui's house, I always feel that he is avoiding something.

Li Yuechen didn't want to point it out either, he just practiced the routine as usual for him to comment on, and then the master and apprentice would take out the sand table and do some military deduction or something.

As for the actual confrontation training, Liu Rengui seemed to have completely forgotten about it recently, and didn't even mention it.

……

On the ninth day of September, in this era, the name of the Double Ninth Festival has just emerged, and it is more commonly called the Climbing Festival among the people.

The main reason is that there is generally a habit of climbing high on this day, which presumably originated from some kind of mountain worship.

People whose family conditions are not too bad will go to Mangshan for a walk on this day.

But officials don't think about it, today is also a festival for sacrifices.

The emperor still has to lead all the officials to sacrifice to heaven and ancestors, to commemorate the harvest, remember the ancestors and so on.

Li Zhi still boarded the altar on this day, thinking of his mother, the eldest grandson, the queen.

At the same time, all officials were entertained in Taoguang Garden, and chrysanthemum wine and Chongyang cake were given.

This thing is a bit like hair cake, but it is piled up layer by layer. The taste... can only be said to be okay.

Today's banquet is not much different from usual, but one thing is that this kind of banquet is generally more serious, and the emperor will not bring his officials to dance.

Li Yuechen was gracefully destroying the food in front of him, while thinking in his heart that there were really many sacrificial activities in ancient times and it was very troublesome.

After eating at noon, the court also had a holiday.

However, the Craftsman Superintendent brought good news. During this period of time, many craftsmen helped to follow along with the work. The production of movable type was much faster, and now there are almost a thousand characters.

If this progress is followed, it should be possible to produce all the movable type needed before the year.

Li Yuechen told them not to blindly seek speed, but to try their best to ensure that the quality of each word meets the standard.

Otherwise, when the newspapers start to be published, there will be problems in printing, and it will be troublesome.

After getting the guarantee from the craftsmen that they would do a good job, Li Yuechen nodded to express his relief.

Thinking that the time was almost up, and the training for reporters should start, the next afternoon, Li Yuechen went to Jixianfang.

……

Laicao, who had already received the notice in advance, took his son to wait at the door. When he saw Li Yuechen jumping off the carriage, he immediately pressed his son's head and bowed to salute: "I have seen Your Highness, this is the dog."

Li Yuechen turned his head and looked at the young man beside him who looked to be in his early 20s.

He looks decent, but since he hasn't grown a beard yet, he looks quite energetic.

"Can you have a name?"

"Return to Your Highness, Your Majesty..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped on the head by Lai Cao: "Are you an official, then you will be dismissed? What kind of official?"

After being slapped, Lai Junchen realized that something was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "Caomin Lai Junchen, I have seen Your Highness."

"Excuse me." Li Yuechen raised his hand and led the two of them into Lai Cao's office.

After sitting down, he raised his head and looked up: "What did I ask you to do here, your grandfather has already told you, right?"

"Yes!" Lai Junchen nodded, "It's just for information, I'm familiar with this matter!"

While talking, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over respectfully.

Seeing Li Yuechen nodding, Fulai stepped forward to take it and handed it to Li Yuechen.

When I opened it, the first thing that caught my eye was the handwriting like a dog pawing, which made Li Yuechen, who was used to beautiful calligraphy, feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, although the characters are not very good, they can still be recognized, so I read down patiently.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong. About 5 minutes later, Li Yuechen frowned and raised his head.

"Is this the information you collected?"

"Return to Your Highness, that's right!" Lai Junchen replied respectfully.

"Are these news true?"

"The grass people saw it all with their own eyes!"

Li Yuechen nodded, looked at the note in his hand with some uncertainty, and asked: "The old grandson who sells the pastry across from your house intends to rebel? Smallpox has broken out in Dongdu? The wells connected to Luoshui have been poisoned." ?”

Hearing Li Yuechen's non-stop questioning, Fulai next to him couldn't help but turn his head, wondering what was written on the paper.

"Yes!" Lai Junchen replied with his usual expression.

"Alas..." Li Yuechen sighed. To be honest, what kind of reporter would such a talent be?Wouldn't it be good to write a novel?
So he couldn't help but turned his head and shook his head sympathetically at Laicao: "It must be very difficult to raise such a mentally handicapped person, right?"

Laicao hastily saluted: "Your Highness, forgive me, this rebellious son usually likes to exaggerate..."

"Exaggeration?"

Li Yuechen asked back, "If I remember correctly, the old grandson opposite your house seems to be blind? And this smallpox, today's emperor and queen don't know about it, but you actually know? Is this an exaggeration or something out of nothing? "

Hearing her rhetorical question, Lai Junchen suddenly lowered his head and fell silent.

"Your Highness, forgive me, I will definitely teach this rebellious son a lesson..."

"No need." Li Yuechen waved his hand, "Let him go back, this job is not suitable for him."

At the same time, I couldn't help complaining in my heart, this is purely mentally retarded, I really don't know how to live until now.

That is to say, I met her, so I don't need to take it seriously.

If it was another princess who dared to make up nonsense so blatantly, it wouldn't matter if you were chopped off on the spot.

Laicao nodded quickly, then slapped and kicked Future Junchen out, and apologized again and again when he came back: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the others are guaranteed to be reliable and have no such problems."

Li Yuechen waved his hand: "If you can't handle this matter again, you can get out."

"Yes!"

Laicuo hurriedly saluted and agreed, and then quickly called the other reporters waiting outside.

There are eleven people in total. After Laicao's introduction, these people are all literate hooligans and the like. They don't do production, and they basically have small businesses at home.

Li Yuechen looked up and looked at these punks who were restrained and well-behaved in front of her, but they were still full of vigor, and sighed helplessly.

To be honest, if there are options, he really doesn't want to use these people.

But there is no way. These days, anyone with a little education basically thinks about the imperial examination, and it is impossible to do this kind of work.

And those who are honest, most of them are illiterate, and this thing is too laborious to teach, so I can only use these bastards for the time being.

"Okay, wait and listen!" Li Yuechen put on a majestic look, "The recorded news must be true, it cannot be fabricated out of nothing, and it cannot be changed and exaggerated at will..."

Hearing the princess lecturing them with a dignified face, the gangsters all stood there obediently and listened.The expression is extremely serious.

After Li Yuechen finished speaking, he waved his hands to them: "If you have any doubts, bring them up now, and don't embarrass me in the future..."

All the other parties said that they heard very clearly and there was no problem.

Li Yuechen nodded, and after explaining a few more words, let them collect the latest news first, and then hand it over to Fulai.

After leaving Jixianfang, on the way back to the palace, Li Yuechen calculated how the first newspaper should be distributed?

Is it with great fanfare or quietly?
Although there is no difference in terms of the results... But Li Yuechen is very clear that the appearance of this thing will cause a big blow to the social influence of the aristocratic family.

Maybe it wasn't too obvious at first, after all, these days, there are only so many literate people, and for most people, there is no essential difference between newspapers and notices.

But the difference is that the dissemination effect of newspapers is much better than that of notices, especially in places like teahouses and restaurants. If there is a newspaper and they are discussed among each other, the speed of dissemination is quite terrifying.

When people's literacy rate is getting higher and higher, the sales of newspapers will naturally be higher and higher.

At that time, it will definitely be a huge blow to the social influence of those aristocratic families.

But it's a pity, the emperor's move is a conspiracy, even if they know it, they can't do anything.

After returning to the palace, Li Yuechen calculated with Princess Yiyang and Shangguan Wan'er that the first issue of the newspaper could be published on October [-]th.

At that time, the post soldiers at the post station will need to cooperate, and everyone will bring some newspapers to sell in other states and counties.

At the same time, if there is something going on over there, I will probably investigate it and come back to make a summary. In a short time, news from all over the country can be published through Datang Daily.

At that time, people in the south will know what happened in the north, and people in the north will also know what happened in the south.

Once information starts to be exchanged, it can also enhance the pride of the people as citizens of the Tang Dynasty.

While discussing, the three of them decided what content should be published in the first issue of Datang Daily.

There is no big news worth paying attention to in the court recently, so Li Yuechen's research on grain production will be the headline on the front page.

You can also publicize the siege of Li Jinxing's breakthrough in Silla and Mohe, and you can also write about the fact that his wife was granted the title of Mrs. Yan.

As for other forums, Li Yuechen published some selected gossip from the market, and also some cryptic product promotions, which can be regarded as a wave of advertisements for himself.

At the same time, I didn't forget to take Lu Zhaolin out for marketing again, clarifying to the public that he has already taken over his wife, and he is not a heartless man.

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly asked: "Your Highness, if someone writes poems in the future, can they be published in Datang Daily?"

"Of course!" Li Yuechen nodded, "You are the editor, you can do it yourself. If you think the writing is good, you can publish it naturally."

"Then...Wan'er's poems are also available?" She seemed to ask with some expectation.

Li Yuechen nodded encouragingly: "If you think your writing is good, you can naturally do the same."

After chatting for a while, in order to increase sales, Li Yuechen decided to serialize the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the newspaper.

"In the next few days, I will bring over the manuscript of the first article, but I must definitely add the sentence 'This story is not a canon history, it is a fictional adaptation', don't forget."

Shangguan Wan'er seemed to understand what she meant, and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I remember."

……

Time passed day by day. On this day, after Li Yuechen finished class, he did not leave as usual. Instead, he clapped his hands and asked the students to surround him.

"October is coming soon. After half a month, there is a task for you." Li Yuechen said, "Datang is about to publish newspapers. When the time comes, your task is to sell newspapers on the street..."

Because these students have been studying with Li Yuechen, under the influence of what they heard and seen, they didn't look down on the merchant's thoughts. Instead, they began to seriously ask what they should do and how to do it well.
