The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 289 Your Majesty, you just want to eat

In the imperial study room, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction after reading the newspaper, and slowly put down the newspaper.

It was rare to feel a little leisurely and asked: "My love, what do you think of this newspaper?"

"Your Majesty, this Datang Daily is really a grand occasion for us scholars! To revive our Daoist literature, especially Su Fan's papermaking skills and unique printing skills, should be of great benefit to the future!"

Fang Xuanling quickly put away the newspaper in his hand, and waited until he got back to read it slowly.

Today, this newspaper has just been released, and it looks like it is being circulated by everyone.

It didn't take long before news came back. Although the newspaper had just been published, it was already expensive in Luoyang.

On the first day, [-] copies were printed, and almost every bookstore in every major city had [-] copies. Now it has been sold out in half a day.

Whether it's the above information about the world, or the interpretation of the government, or even the appreciation of poetry, there is always something you are interested in.

Coupled with these two pennies and a piece of paper, Fang Xuanling felt that ten thousand copies were missing.

"That's right, Your Majesty, from now on, this newspaper can make the imperial court spread the righteousness of the people and spread the sacred meaning. It is indeed a miracle!"

"Extremely great!"

There were two or three more beeps.

In the imperial study room, besides Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Tang Jian were also there.

"Hahaha~"

Li Shimin laughed proudly, this papermaking technique is the foundation for breaking through the aristocratic families in Guanzhong in the future.

Now those aristocratic families probably think that I have nothing to spend, just to compete with them.

As everyone knows, in the future, I will be able to distribute newspapers widely and make money standing up.

How beautiful~
When the preparations for printing the book are completed and the literature is widely distributed.

Those aristocratic families in Guanzhong responded to this new technique of papermaking and printing.

How wonderful will that face be?
Just thinking about it, Li Shimin is very excited~
Li Shimin suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said: "Xuanling, from now on, you will review the articles published by the imperial court and the academic scholars, and then hand them over to the Datang Daily for publication!"

Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up, and he quickly responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely do my best! Live up to your majesty's trust!"

Wei Zheng who was on the side let out an annoyed breath secretly.

The old man Fang took up this position in the future, I am afraid that many courtiers and scholars will lick the old face of this old man in the future.

If the old man Fang has some thoughts in the future, he can post more of his own articles, which is really a good job.

Even Wei Zheng, who has never been moved by fame and fortune, is quite envious.

Li Shimin frowned, and said: "Ahem, it's just that today's "Journey to the West" was told by that kid, it's really boring."

"Xuanling, before the publication of the Datang Daily, did Tang Xiaozi say to leave manuscripts a few days in advance?"

The corner of Wei Zheng's mouth twitched, you just watched it again.

He didn't know, but His Majesty probably wanted to go after Tang Sufan again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Datang Daily has left three drafts, and Ma Zhou from Chang'an Bookstore is responsible for publishing them one day in advance!"

Li Shimin pondered slightly: "Oh, that's how it is~cough cough, how about this, I will send someone to fetch tomorrow's book report for me later, this newspaper is first published, and I want to review it."

Fang Xuanling tacitly knew that His Majesty wanted to read novels.

"Alright, Your Majesty, I will do it this afternoon!"

When Li Shimin thought of the plans that Tang Sufan had talked to him two days ago, his heart trembled.

The corner of the mouth could not help showing a charming angle. In the past, everyone had their own hands, and they planned and planned, but it was just to eliminate the roots of some aristocratic families.

Now, not only can they make money, but they can also revitalize the Daoist culture of the Tang Dynasty, and they can also eradicate the foundation of the family.
Apart from being busy these two days, Li Shimin can be said to be flying happily.

"By the way, Xuanling, how about Ma Zhou?"

Li Shimin picked up the boiled water and took a sip slowly.

Who would have thought that the tea in the Imperial Study Room of the Tang Dynasty is just some ordinary boiled water.

Because Li Shimin was used to drinking tea from before Tang Sufan, since the tea leaves from Guanyin's maidservant stopped for a while, Li Shimin really couldn't get used to the strong tea soup.

After all, the smell seems to be really strong in comparison.

So I simply drank plain water myself.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, after the past few days of observation, this Ma Zhou is indeed a good official. He has a clear mind and a good understanding of people. He is a rare talent!"

"Beyond that, he is quite kind-hearted, and his vision in some official affairs is also very unique!"

Li Shimin nodded slowly: "It seems that the person that the kid likes is right!"

"How about this, next day, bring this Ma Zhou into the palace, I'll have a look!"

Fang Xuanling respectfully accepted the order, he knew that Ma Zhou was lucky~
Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked at the sky outside the imperial study room, his mind moved.

He glanced at Wei Zheng who was on the side.

Said: "Ahem, Xuanling, that kid has always been tired. I think I need to talk to him about the bookstore. What do you think?"

After all, he couldn't help turning his back to Wei Zheng and secretly cast a glance.

Fang Xuanling immediately understood that His Majesty wanted to go out to relax, and this day, yes, it's time for dinner!
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but feel a little moved.

His thoughts of being an official for many years turned wildly at this moment, and he said immediately: "What your majesty said is very reasonable. The Datang Daily is indeed too important. Not only that, but the issue of publishing books in the future is related to scholars all over the world. I also feel that I must leave." Last time!"

Of course, Du Ruhui immediately followed suit: "Your Majesty has thought well, this time we have to go!"

It's been several days since I ate the food at that kid's house, so I'm really thinking about it.

Looking at the few people who were helping, Wei Zheng was rarely angry.

Naturally, he could see some of His Majesty's careful thoughts.

But it is true that these things are too important, and it is not impossible to go there.

The monarch and his ministers made a decision and decided to change into clothes as soon as possible, and hurry up, otherwise after dinner... oh no, what if the kid is not here after the time?
…………

Today, the home of the head of the Zheng family in Qinghe is lively.

Many clan elders were called to discuss matters in the main hall.

Everyone held a newspaper in their hands.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the current Patriarch of the Zheng family, Zheng Yunhe, the second-rank Guanglu doctor of the current imperial court, sits at the top.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, he frowned deeply, and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, elders, can you see what the current emperor's 'one move' means?"

All the people thought about this newspaper for a long time, but they didn't think that the current emperor would be doing a loss-making business at this time?
But today's newspaper, after investigation by the servants, sold nearly [-] copies in one morning.

And the Chang'an bookstores that suddenly appeared in various cities and towns, as if the newspapers were inexhaustible?
"Patriarch, I don't know why this Chang'an bookstore has so much paper? And the quality is not much worse than the Qingyun paper from my Zheng's paper workshop?"

"And there are so many as soon as they come out, this... is really unbelievable..."

A clan elder couldn't help but frowned and said.

Zheng Yunhe's brows frowned even deeper, and that was the problem.

Where did that man in the palace go to find so many papers overnight?

Could it be that it was premeditated?
