The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 681 The undercurrent rises

Chang'an City.

After three or two days of spreading the news, the topic of Chang'an Bookstore closing its doors persisted.

-

"Come on, everyone, just watch, there are a few people up there who can no longer stand the chance to go to Chang'an Bookstore!"

"If you think about it, in the past, there were a lot of splendid works from a few famous names."

"In Zuixiang Pavilion and Pingkangfang, what has been circulated are all the good works and good deeds of the younger generations of the families."

"And the disciples in the clan recommend Pingjuan and others to go out and enter the country, and they all rely on the personal reputation of the juniors to become famous."

"Think about it now. Chang'an Bookstore has ruined someone's reputation and blocked the reputation of many people. How can we not suffer from jealousy?"

As soon as he said this, someone immediately echoed on the side——

"What my brother said is absolutely true. Nowadays, as long as there are talented people in Chang'an City, whether they are street doctors or poor scholars, they can directly submit their articles to Chang'an Bookstore. Even talented people can get selected articles. It is a great righteousness to use the money to polish your pen!"

"Have you read the last newspaper? It is a critical article by a scholar from a nearby village who has not passed the imperial examination. Although he has no talent or reputation, his writing is sharp and impressive."

"Not to mention, most of the good works published by Chang'an Bookstore in the past six months were written by talented people who have never met them. In other words, many good works by talented women in Chang'an City today were published by Chang'an Bookstore. "

"There is no distinction between literature and literature in the world, which is also consistent with the great righteousness of Confucius that there is no difference in teaching! The move of Chang'an Bookstore is a great righteousness and the way to promote literature."

"Study should be based on establishing virtue, and all actions should be based on virtue. This matter is really disgusting and infuriating!"

The words of a high-spirited scholar won many echoes.

"This Chang'an Bookstore should be the place where literature flourishes in the world. This has never been heard of in ancient times. However, if you think about it, no matter how many people are there today, I am afraid that everyone would be unhappy."

"The Chang'an Bookstore is closed now. It is also a case of oppression by power. If others don't know it, why can't we see it? I'm afraid there will be a lot of people behind it to make things difficult!"

One person also said this while playing with the tea cup and swearing.

The person next to him was startled, looked left and right, and quickly reminded him.

"Hush, brother, don't speak loudly!"

Nowadays, this kind of statement has become a tiger among three people, and a big pot has been placed on the heads of several people.

No matter who it is, no matter which company it is...

Chang'an Bookstore has been closed for the past few days to "temporarily avoid the limelight", and the limelight has blown on the heads of several people.

Power, isn't it just you and other companies that want it?

"Hey, tell me, has Chang'an Bookstore closed down? Even my wife couldn't put down the "Journey to the West" published in Datang Daily. Oh, what a pity."

One person shook his head, and the other person turned around and said.

"Brother Hao, what you said is wrong. I heard that the Chang'an Bookstore has the imperial court behind it!"

"Although it is the imperial court, you don't know that if several families join forces, even if...ahem, too much to say, too much to say..."

"Alas, Brother Liu, wait a minute, this Chang'an Bookstore is indeed endorsed by the imperial court, but I have heard that this Chang'an Bookstore is also a private property! I wonder which powerful family it belongs to?"

Oh?
These words made the talking heads turn away.

Nowadays, who in the entire Chang'an City does not know about Chang'an Bookstore?

The newspaper, which cost two cents a piece, was no worse than the best rice paper, and it not only reported important and minor events in Chang'an, but also elegant and interesting stories. Its functions even surpassed those of Zhili's Di newspaper in Zhongshu Province.

If we talk about private property, if we talk about non-royal family, who can afford this property?

The person surrounded by everyone's eyes obviously guessed this scene.

After all, this is his first-hand information, and it will make headlines if it is released.

The man's face straightened and he spoke.

"You all don't know. Although Chang'an Bookstore is backed by the imperial court, it does not have any responsibilities under the imperial court, and it does not care about the property of each family."

"Everyone think about it, Chang'an Bookstore has not been in trouble for half a year, but now the paper mill is directly burned down. Ahem, it means a lot."

That playful look made many people look awake.

"What this brother is talking about is... paper!"

Among them, one person was obviously a guest with the appearance of a scholar.

The two hit it off immediately, and the man said immediately.

"This brother hit the nail on the head! That's right, it's paper!"

Then, the man's words became easy to understand.

Nowadays, Chang'an Bookstore publishes the newspaper every three days, and it can sell tens of thousands of copies in one day, which is extremely popular.

Among them, this paper, which is comparable to rice paper, no matter the words on it or the two texts on it, has long made the knowledgeable people in Chang'an City suspicious.

If you think about it carefully, nowadays, the price of one fiber of linen paper is around ten cents, and the price of one fiber of rice paper starts at fifty cents, depending on the quality.

Instead, use a piece of rice paper to replace the size of Datang Daily, which would cost about ten cents, which is equivalent to an entire hemp paper!

In other words, if Chang'an Bookstore had not lost money and made a profit, it would have cost only two cents to produce rice paper of the same size and ten cents.The difference can be seen at a glance.

It is even common for the rice paper in Chang'an City to be worth as much as a hundred cents depending on the season.

More importantly, although rice paper is thicker than the paper used by Datang Daily, it is far less delicate than the paper used by Chang'an Bookstore.

Among them, why Chang'an Bookstore is able to print tens of thousands of copies of Datang Daily, which changes every three days, has long been speculated.

Perhaps the common people are more concerned about whether the Datang Daily releases are interesting every time, but as long as you are attentive, you can find some of them.

Although the ancients are ancient, they are not stupid people. It has been half a year since the opening of Chang'an Bookstore. In the early days, there were rumors that Chang'an Bookstore was losing money and making money, and it has been spread that Chang'an Bookstore has a unique paper-making method and even a printing method!

Now, with just a few questions, everyone suddenly realized.

This is a direct step on the lifeblood of the aristocratic family!

How can you not have evil intentions?

Therefore, the drama behind this is the most important thing.

Now, it can only be regarded as an appetizer~

Those who are interested may also notice that there will be a big show in Chang'an City around Chang'an Bookstore!
This time, it was not the royal family that had always been at the center of public opinion in Chang'an, but the head of several well-known aristocratic families in Chang'an.

The aristocratic family is the largest center of power besides the royal family.

Moreover, the relationship between it and the royal family is not enough to be explained clearly. From the current Chang'an Bookstore, can't we get a glimpse of it?
There are all powerful and wealthy people coming and going in this restaurant, and the topics they talk about are indeed different.

In the restaurant, under the excitement of the group of people, there was a table upstairs behind them.

Two women were sitting.

Li Qingtang, Li Hongying.

It's a quiet place, but you can still hear the sound of discussion.

After a while, the sweet voice of Li Hongying's silver bell sounded softly.

"Qingtang, I'm really curious about the person behind Chang'an Bookstore. Do you think this is the work of my uncle?"

Since she came back to Chang'an, the lively events in Chang'an have happened one after another.

As two sisters, they have been inseparable since Li Hongying came back.

Today, Li Qingtang Xiu Mu happened to be pulled out by Li Hongying.

I heard this discussion clearly.

Li Qingtang glanced downstairs, and then looked at Li Hongying's face in front of him.

Today, Li Hongying naturally took off the red gauze when eating.

Shocked to see.

I heard that there are very few people in Chang'an City who have seen the true appearance of Lady Li's Hongying.

The face is as delicate as jade, the bridge of the nose is high, and the heroic spirit between the eyebrows is slightly different from that of Li Qingtang, the martial arts daughter.

This heroic spirit is filled with a bit of gentleness, but also a bit of wisdom.

However, the only flaw is that there is a red spot under the left eye, as red as falling red, as red as red ying~
Li Hongying pondered for a moment, as if feeling awakened, and then spoke slowly.

"Hongying, do you think that if it is the handiwork of His Majesty, it is better to say that it is the handiwork of... that person..."

Chang'an Bookstore, new papermaking method, new printing method...

Li Qingtang can only think of one person for such a strange skill - Tang Sufan.

Li Hongying's eyebrows were surprised, and then the corners of her mouth changed as if she were aware of it, just like Li Qingtang.

Li Qingtang read out a name at the same time.

"Tang Sufan."

　I'm sorry, brothers. At the beginning of the month, last month's results came out, and I felt a little helpless. Then many things happened in my life. I was really busy and was not in the mood to write a book.

　　But now I am struggling with this book. Due to previous reasons, I originally wanted to publish the two books at the same time, but I have been waiting and waiting to prepare the new book.
