Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 586 Using His Majesty as a Shield

Guo Zhi is a dignified Tanhualang, and he can't do something indecent by pouring water on the street corner.The desire to urinate surged up, and all I could think about was taking a shortcut, going to my friend's house, and rushing for thousands of miles.

Bianjing is too small to achieve the neat Lifang system like Chang'an and Luoyang.

The layout of Bianjing is a system of streets and alleys, with a main avenue along the street, surrounded by shops and houses supplemented by countless alleys and alleys.

Guo Zhi was born in Xiangyi, Kaifeng, and lived in Bianjing since he was a child.

For all the alleys and alleys in Kaifeng, turn left and turn right, and you will arrive at the alleys in the backyard of Songzhai in less than a moment.

The originally dark alley was unexpectedly bright. Guo Zhi had just turned the corner when he saw two carriages carrying things to the small gate in the backyard of the Song residence.

A box looks very heavy.

Guo Zhi retreated instinctively, shrinking at the corner of the street.

Guo Zhi was assigned by the officials to Dali Temple as a judge after he was in high school.

This Dali Temple handles criminal and prison cases, which is equivalent to the Supreme Court of later generations.

Guo Zhi has read many criminal case files, and he has been in contact with several cases over the years, so he has a certain sensitivity in this regard.

After a glance, the person hid before his mind turned.

Lu Mengzheng, who was following behind, also saw Guo Zhi's predicament and did not urge him.

He was not used to the alleys and alleys of Bianjing, so he walked slowly, taking Guo Zhi's reaction into his eyes.

Lu Mengzheng was clever, deliberately suppressed his footsteps, and slowly came closer.

Looking at the scene in front of them, the two looked dignified.

This normal exchange of gifts, why go through the back door at night?
In ancient times, it was normal for rich people to spend a lot of money on gifts. Zhao Kuangyin once sent a valuable thank you gift to thank Luo Youdu for solving the matter between Zhao Kuangyi and Wei Renpu.

The two of them agreed not to mention the matter of visiting the door, but waited quietly in the dark.

They are not sure about the cause and effect, neither who gave the gift nor whether it is legal, so they dare not jump to conclusions.

**********
The front yard of the Song residence.

Song Bai sent the two brothers Chen Wenxian and Chen Wenyi out of the mansion, and bid farewell politely.

Walking lightly into the house, Song Bai only felt that his feet were a little lighter, and he was in a happy mood. When he returned to the study, he remembered the flattery of the Chen family brothers, the generous gifts they sent, and the grievances they made for him. With a brush on the table, a poem with a deep metaphor came out:

Whoever dyes and cuts the branches and leaves makes the fragrance come one after another.

Chunbing decides to teach the Lord of March, and the hearts of heaven and heaven open together.

How to nourish the chrysanthemum with zero dew, how can the east wind not be the plum.

The low frown and beautiful face are like words of sorrow, and they can't help but doubt their fate.

The last sentence "you can't help yourself" is just the finishing touch.

Song Bai was lonely since he was a child, and was brought up by his mother alone. When he was 13 years old, he wrote an article that shocked the Daming Mansion.

From then on, Song Bai won the name of child prodigy and the support of his tribe. From then on, it went smoothly and attracted much attention.

In the imperial examinations in the past, he, Song Bai, won the first place in the provincial examination with an absolute advantage, and became the number one choice in most people's hearts.

Song Bai also regards the number one scholar as his own.

In the end, Guo Zhi, the little-known leader of Suoxiang High School, was at the bottom.

Song Bai didn't dare to show dissatisfaction in front of outsiders, but he was ashamed of Suo Xiang in his heart.

Even if Guo Zhi was the number one scholar in high school, Song Bai would not be like this.

Suo Xiang's literary talents were not even in the top ten in their class.

"Even if you are as wise as His Majesty, there are times when you miss him, and you don't know if he regrets it or not."

Song Bai muttered.

In Sanding Jiazhong, Suoxiang was transferred to Hehuang, and Guo Zhi worked in Dali Temple. Only he was quickly promoted and became the editor of Jinzhao Academy, responsible for the typesetting of newspapers, with the brightest future.

At this time, the butler's voice came from outside the house: "Lord Lang, Mr. Chen's gift list has been counted."

Song Bai's spirit suddenly lifted, he walked out of the study quickly, took the gift list and looked at it carefully: the gift list is a long string, except for coins, silk cloth, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, everything...

There is a smile that cannot be hidden between the brows.

"Send them all to the warehouse, don't tell outsiders."

Song Bai exhorted.

Song Bai is not extravagant, on the contrary, he is very frugal, and Luo Youdu responds to his style of diligence and frugality.

But because I was afraid of being poor when I was a child, the more wealth my family had, the more at ease I felt.

If you have money and don't use it, just put it aside.

As for the matter arranged by Chen Wenxian and Chen Wenyi, Song Bai didn't care.

In fact, his current status and status are not enough to do whatever he wants in Jinzuoyuan.

It's just that the chief executive who entered the Zouyuan was getting old, and his energy was a little weak, while Song Bai was quick-witted, and he was very knowledgeable in poetry and prose, and was highly valued. Newspaper publishing.

There is so much content in the newspaper, so what if there are a few articles of average level?

Song Bai didn't realize at the moment that one or two articles is really nothing.

But collecting money has become a habit, and the number of unremarkable articles gradually increases, which has a direct impact on the quality perception of the newspaper.

On this day, Song Bai sorted out the manuscripts to be published tomorrow, and asked his subordinate He Jun to send them to the printing department.

He Jun was not convinced, he hesitated to speak.

Song Bai took a look and said, "What's wrong?"

He Jun said angrily: "The people in the printing department slandered the editor."

Song Bai is kind and sincere, except for his prejudice against Suo Xiang, he is polite to everyone.

As Song Bai's subordinate, He Jun admires him very much.

Song Bai smiled and said: "Let them talk, no one is perfect." He was consciously open-minded, not afraid of people talking behind his back, but he could think of the treasury at home, and said casually: "What are you talking about?"

He Jundao: "It is said that the newspaper is not as exciting as before, and the sales volume is not as good as before. Before entering the theater, it was overcrowded, but now there are not many people."

The Luoyu court has greatly improved in printing and papermaking than before.

But this technological advancement requires a process.

The current price of newspapers is not low, and most ordinary families are reluctant to buy them.

More scholars mostly saw something they liked in the newspaper, and they went to Jinzuo Academy to copy it in person.

The low flow of people entering the Zouyuan directly shows that there are not many articles that attract scholars and lack the desire to transcribe.

Song Bai's face turned pale for an instant, he realized the seriousness of the problem, and his heart was in a mess.

He waved He Jun back, and wanted to pick up the pen but found that his hands were shaking.

"How to do?"

Song Bai endured the discomfort, but there was a flash of inspiration in his mind, thinking of his boss, intending to rectify and improve the Zouyuan.

Jinzuoyuan and newspapers have existed for a long time, but the Luoyu court has played tricks and used newspapers as the mouthpiece of the court to influence the world.

But after all, it is the first time, and many places are crossing the river by feeling the stones. In terms of the system, problems need to be continuously discovered and then corrected to make them more reasonable and efficient.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Song Bai's eyes, and he pointed out the problems existing in the entrance hall, and solved them one by one, and then presented it to His Majesty, and won His Majesty's approval, with His Majesty as his backing.
