Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 364 Royal Daily
Yanshan Village, Wuwei County.

The He family was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the whole street was covered with red makeup.

In this era, red makeup is not popular, but red makeup is everywhere.

It also makes sense to not be extravagant.

Of course, what he learned was a good story when Luo Youdu married Fu Qing when he was a child.

After Luo Youdu married Fu Qing'er, many people have already followed suit because of the celebrity effect.

After Luo Youdu became emperor, this matter gradually evolved into a custom.

Those with a little property in the family will wear some red makeup when they marry a wife to add festiveness.

Yanshan Village is not big, but because of an oil field in the mountain, it has brought a lot of fame to this little-known village of Wuwei, and it has also been stimulated economically.

Let the life of the people in the originally impoverished village be nourished a lot.

Because the small village is not big, the neighbors in the village are extremely harmonious.

When someone's family has a happy event, basically the whole village is mobilized to help and eat together.

If someone in the village was to be bullied, it would be the whole village fighting together with hoes and shovels.

Two vegetable washing women were chatting while washing shepherd's purse by the well.

"Whoever wants to get a flower from our village, he didn't let a scholar from the Tian family marry him, but let a foreigner like Xiaohe marry him..."

"Don't let the head of our village hear this, for fear that he will scold you. The head of the village loves Xiao He. He originally expected Scholar Tian to make the village famous, but he didn't want Xiao He to name and praise His Majesty directly, and gave him a reward. Now Who dares to say that Xiao He is a foreigner, the old village head will beat him."

"That's right, as long as our small village can produce a person who can be named and praised by the emperor, I really have to hold it in the palm of my hand. Isn't this daughter of the Qi family a matchmaker personally made by the village head?"

"It must be that the grandma of the He family is blessed and has a good grandson. She is willing to take her all the way from Sichuan to our Jiangbei."

The two women spoke without saying a word.

The culprit, He Zheng, had already picked up his wife at this moment, riding a mule, surrounded by the children of the village, and walked towards home step by step.

He Zheng looked back at the sedan chair, with a happy smile on his face.

When he brought his wife into the house and prepared to pray.

The old village head who was the witness of the wedding said solemnly: "This is the first obeisance, you should worship His Majesty the Emperor, if there is no His Majesty, how can you Xiaohe be where you are today?"

He Zheng hurriedly said: "It should be, it should be. Without His Majesty the Emperor, how could I, He Zheng, be where I am today..."

He Zheng was born in Gongjing County, Rongzhou, which was named after the famous salt well.

He Zheng, who was born in Gongjing County, had an indissoluble bond with Jingyan since he was a child.

With his hard-working, honest and honest character, He Zheng was favored by the master in charge of digging salt wells and accepted as his apprentice.

This is 20 years.

Both of He Zheng's parents died and his grandma depended on each other for life...

Grandma is the smallest duckweed in the troubled times. She planned to flee to the south of the Yangtze River, but met a river thief and was taken captive to Jingnan. Finally, she followed the fleeing people into Sichuan and Shu.

I was alone in Sichuan and Sichuan, married and had a son, and both of my children died when I was old, so I depended on my grandson for life. My biggest wish is to see what kind of relatives there are in my hometown.

He Zheng is filial, a man who calculated that he has earned a lot over the years, so he simply took care of his elders and led his grandma out of Shu to Wuwei County.

He Zheng had never traveled far before, so he didn't know that his Shu subway fare was extremely cheap in the Central Plains, not to mention the round-trip travel expenses, even board and lodging was a problem.

As a last resort, he went to Yanshan Mountain to work as a coolie, working as a porter, carrying oil.

For convenience, I also stayed in Yanshan Village.

With the reduction of oil production, He Zheng saw that he was about to lose his job. Seeing the stupid way of oil extraction in the local area, he had an idea and used the drilling technology he learned in his hometown to successfully dig out the oil in the ground. .

He Zheng was also favored by Wuwei County Magistrate Shi, who arranged for him to operate the drilling well to extract oil.

Drilling wells for salt and drilling wells for oil are the same, but there is a little difference after all.

According to the characteristics of oil, He Zheng improved the drilling technology, which is more suitable for the exploitation of oil fields.

The amount of oil provided to the imperial court by Wuwei County has been greatly increased, Luo Youdu asked curiously.

After learning about the situation, he immediately ordered Wuwei County to reward He Zheng, and at the same time rewarded him with a hundred guan of silver as encouragement.

Because of this, He Zheng's status was elevated in vain, and he became a man of the day in Yanshan Village.

He Zheng knew in his heart that everything he had today was bestowed by Luo Youdu, and he had no objection to the old village head's reminder, so he hurriedly pulled his wife and kowtowed respectfully three times in the direction of Bianjing.

**********
Bianjing!

Bafang Restaurant!

The guests gathered.

Bo Junren is talking about ancient heroes.

The so-called Bo Junren is a storyteller, the purpose is to make you smile, so it is called Bo Junren.

In this era, no real storytelling was born, but there are already many restaurants and teahouses that invite eloquent performances to "speak" in order to attract customers.

Bo Junren talked about the allusion of "Thirteen Generals Returning to Yumen", and told the historical story of that period in a cadence and impassioned way.

Those who haven't heard it applaud repeatedly, but those who have heard it are booing below, "Why is it "Thirteen Generals Returning to Yumen" again, so there is no new story to tell?"

Mr. Bo was obviously not good enough and was affected. He just apologized and said: "It's Zhang Qixian who is too slow, and it's not that I only talk about "Thirteen Generals Return to Yumen". If you are really angry, You can go to Yishu to find him and force him to write "The Story of Loyalty" as soon as possible."

Mr. Bo also cursed from the bottom of his heart, why the boss didn't send a new issue of "Royal Daily", and he couldn't stand it any longer.

Newspapers have existed much earlier than most people realize.

The earliest record appeared in the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was commonly known as the Jinzuoyuan Report.

Later, it evolved into "Kaiyuan Miscellaneous News", which records the political affairs of the court, such as: one day the emperor personally plowed the land and performed nine pushes.One day, Bailiao performed a shooting salute in the south of Anfu Tower.One day, the chieftains of the Tubo monarchs asked their followers to enshrine Zen.One day the emperor returned from the Eastern Seal, and the rewards were poor, etc...

In short, the content is empty, and some scholars who are related to national affairs will buy and borrow it to study.

Luo Youdu picked up "Kaiyuan Miscellaneous News" again and named it after "Royal Daily".

Although it is unavoidable to report on the affairs of the imperial court, some pages have also been arranged to publish some collections of novels and shocking articles.

Since Luo Youdu became the emperor, he cut off his support for Zhang Qixian, so as not to cause criticism and bring bad influence to Zhang Qixian himself.However, he arranged for Quan Xu to give Zhang Qixian financial support. At the same time, he also sent people to spread the word that Zhang Qixian could contribute articles to the "Royal Daily" and earn manuscript fees by virtue of his writing.

Luo Youdu knew that Zhang Qixian liked to write historical biographies, and his "Old News of Luoyang Gentlemen" was written very well.

At the same time, he was given a request to write in vernacular as much as possible.Don't chew on words and show off your writing skills.

Zhang Qixian wrote "The Legend of the Loyalty" in vernacular, using historical heroes as allusions, and won praise from the public.

The owner of the nimble teahouse and wine shop has started to buy the "Royal Daily", so that people can tell the historical stories in the newspaper to customers, so as to improve their business.

With this, Bafang Restaurant took the lead, and the daily passenger flow surged.

Just when Bojun was tired of dealing with customers, the owner handed over the new issue of "Royal Daily" to the other party.

The owner was so tired that he was out of breath, cursing in a low voice.

The sales of the "Royal Daily" were not good at the beginning, but as the quality of the content was excellent, the supply gradually exceeded the demand.

The owner of the restaurant bought it at the same time as usual, but it was sold out long ago. He was so anxious that he bought it from a scholar at three times the price.

Bo Junren hurriedly looked at the newspaper in his hand, beaming with joy.

Bojun people are only proficient in characters. In the past, they could not read ancient Chinese at all, especially people with higher education level, the more they like to write articles in extremely mysterious and difficult to understand.

But the "Royal Daily" is not the case. Apart from occasionally publishing some ancient rhyme articles, no matter the important affairs of the court or all kinds of knowledge, they are all presented in the form of vernacular.

Bo Junren has no problem reading it.

"Okay, let's not talk about "The Legend of Loyalty" today, let's talk about our heroes!"

"Ding Nan Li, everyone here must have heard about it, that is, that foolish bastard who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and regards His Majesty's benevolence as weak and deceitful, and now he is reaping the consequences."

"Dong Zunhui, the governor of Yanzhou in our dynasty, personally led a thousand soldiers to attack the bandits (herdsmen) in the Hengshan Mountains. He won a complete victory and confiscated 150 horses. , Killed [-] and three enemies, and Governor Dong led his troops back in triumph. The bandit general dared not to be convinced, and gathered [-] soldiers to go south. Governor Dong had already prepared and demolished the Qingshuihe Bridge."

"When the rebel soldiers were dispatched to find other crossings, the governor Dong saw through the weakness of the scattered troops. He used a crossbow to push back the rebel soldiers along the coast. They forced a decisive battle across the river and defeated the rebel soldiers by the Qingshui River. Nine hundred rebels were killed directly Soldiers, the enemy governor of Yuzhou fell into chaos and was almost captured by governor Dong."

Bo Junren elaborated on the news from the "Royal Daily".

Waiting for time won the round of applause.

"Okay, good kill!"

"Dong Inspector is doing a good job, think carefully in front of His Majesty, you deserve it."

Mr. Bo suppressed the noise, and continued: "There is also Yao Neibin, the governor of Xizhou, who is even more impressive. His Majesty the Emperor sent four governors to deal with Dingnan Li, and the other three governors were more or less They all made some achievements. Only the Inspector Yao didn’t make any achievements, and he didn’t even send a single soldier to the north. Until five days ago, a few days before Xia Harvest, he suddenly sent troops to approach Suizhou, and stationed his troops in Suizhou City In front of the thieves' faces, the governor of Suizhou led his troops out of the city to grab food, and the governor of Yao gave him a good beating and returned to Suizhou in despair."

"Inspector Yao went up and down the ground in front of Suizhou, cut off all the wheat outside Suizhou, and returned it to Xizhou!"

The atmosphere was vainly warm.

The people who heard it excitedly shouted directly: "Your Majesty is victorious, and Governor Yao is mighty!"

　Thank you book friend Liangzai Liuliu for the five hundred rewards, thank you for your support!
