"Crack!" Li Yin slapped the newspaper on the table and said firmly, "No, that's not how newspapers are run!"

Yanbei and Li Ke happily asked Li Yin to watch the fruits of their labor during this period of time, but they did not expect to receive such an answer from Li Yin, and were a little dissatisfied for a while, only to see Li Ke ask: "Liu Lang, why can't the newspaper do this? "

"Third brother, the content you wrote meets the requirements, but there are huge flaws in the article!" Li Yin said bluntly, and then explained the flaws in the first issue of the newspaper in detail.

Regarding the content of the first issue of Datang Daily, Li Yin has already made a decision, that is, to use the battle of Goguryeo's demise as a breakthrough point, to enumerate the gains and losses of Datang in this battle, and also to discuss Datang's recent period of time. No matter whether it is correct or not, you must express your own views, be outspoken and courageous, and strive to establish a bold and fearless image in the hearts of readers.

Yanbei, Li Ke, and everyone in the newspaper office did a good job regarding Li Yin's demands. The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and there was no literary prison for later generations. Scholars would often discuss the gains and losses of the government in private, so this issue The newspaper boldly pointed out that during the battle against Goguryeo this time, due to insufficient preparation, the northeastern states were overburdened, causing many people in the states to complain.In addition, generals who were disadvantaged in combat on the battlefield were also named and criticized, which can be said to not give any face.Capital Datang 130

However, although the content met Li Yin's requirements, there was one thing that made him very dissatisfied, because all the articles in the newspaper made a common mistake of all scholars, that is, citing classics and citing extensively, although they were not as rigid as Ming and Qing literati. The words, but it also made it very difficult for Li Yin to read.There are even quite a few articles that are simply incomprehensible.In other words, if you are not full of talent and learning, even if you buy a newspaper, you have to ask others to translate it.

I heard Li Yin point out that there are too many allusions in newspaper articles.When the article was too obscure and difficult to understand, Yan Bei and Li Ke still couldn't figure it out. They looked at each other and asked, "Liu Lang, that's how you write articles. If you don't use allusions, how can you show the writer's talent?"

"Third Brother, even I understand Sixth Brother's meaning, why are you still trying to make ends meet?" Before Li Yin could explain, Li Zhi who was next to him said very stinkingly.

Uh~, it was only then that Li Ke and Yan Bei noticed Li Zhi, who was short and short. Li Ke didn't have time to think why he was here, so he asked anxiously: "Ninth brother, tell me who your sixth brother is?" meaning!"

"It's very simple!" Li Zhi pushed Li Yin away, picked up the newspaper on the table and said, "Brother Six, Brother Yan. If you look at the articles here, there are not many that I can understand. Although I am young , but I have read books for several years, but I still can’t understand newspapers, so how can you ensure that everyone who buys newspapers can understand them?”

One sentence awakened the dreamer. After all, it was the first time for Yan Bei and Li Yin to run a newspaper, and some things were inevitably missed. They only cared about letting their staff write the article in full bloom, but forgot to consider the feelings of the readers. After all, the newspaper It is mainly an information carrier, not to express personal literary talents.

After figuring this out, Yan Bei and Li Ke immediately corrected them and typed back all the articles, requesting that the ideas expressed remain unchanged, but all obscure and difficult places should be changed to be more straightforward, as long as they can be read by others Just understand it, don't ask for too much literary talent.Although this request repulsed many newspaper staff, under the pressure of Yan Bei and Li Ke, it was carried out smoothly.

It was under Li Yin's intervention that the first issue of Datang Daily achieved good results. The plain style of writing made readers seem to have no obstacles at all, and they spread their views smoothly, which aroused strong public opinion in the whole society. In the second issue of the newspaper, Li Min put forward a new request, which is to ask the staff in the newspaper office not to write in a hurry after getting the news, but to find people who have personally experienced the news to interview.

In this regard, Li Ke set an example and took the lead in finding Li Yong, a person who had personally experienced the Goguryeo battlefield. Taking him as the first perspective, he introduced this great journey of conquest to readers in several issues, and interspersed the author's comments from time to time. The writing method similar to storytelling was immediately welcomed by readers, and through Li Yong's personal experience, it can also arouse readers' immersive feeling and understand the situation on the battlefield more realistically.

It is precisely because of Li Ke's report that not only brought him great prestige, but also made Li Yong an idol admired by many girls in Chang'an. Some even ranked him behind Li Yin, calling him the No. The example of two prodigal sons returning.Princess Hejian is also very busy these days to deal with Li Yong's matchmaker, but listening to Li Yong, his old mother is busy, but she smiles from ear to ear every day, and by the way, she doesn't treat Li Yong very well. Angry.

The fame of Li Ke and Li Yong is just a by-product of the newspapers. Li Yin's sinister intentions are slowly being accepted by everyone as the newspapers spread.

In Chang'an City, ascending Xianlou, because the owner of this restaurant is Wang Zihao, plus Li Yin's shares, and its own food and drink is the best in Chang'an City, so it soon surpassed the original Chang'an City's largest Junzilou, Become the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Chang'an.

It will be noon soon, and the hall of Dengxian Tower is already full of guests. Many people who want to come to eat will be told by the staff that the hall on the first floor is full as soon as they enter the store. If they want to eat, they can only get The private seats on the second floor are just more expensive there. Although there are still some vacant seats in the lobby on the first floor, they have already been booked in advance.

As noon approached, the space in the hall decreased rapidly, and soon there was only one empty table left, and at this moment, three people walked in from outside the shop, and as soon as these three people entered, they immediately attracted many people. The eyes of few people, this is mainly because the appearance of the three people is really special. Among them, the one walking in the front is a super fat man with a waist circumference of at least five feet. You can tell that he is a rich man from the countryside.When this fat man came over, he blocked the passage which was not very wide, and if he accidentally bumped into the tables on both sides, he had to keep apologizing. Fortunately, although this man was fat, he was very friendly. No one made things difficult for him on purpose.

After the big fat man walked over, the two people behind the fat man showed their figures. In comparison, the two people behind the fat man looked normal. One of them was older, wearing a blue robe, with a gray beard, There is a sense of shrewdness in every part of the body, and one can tell that he is a businessman.The last one is relatively young, looks like he is in his 20s at most, he is tall and gentle, wearing a blue scarf, he should be a scholar.

A local rich man, a shrewd businessman, and a scholar, these three people who were originally irrelevant, naturally attracted many people's attention when they walked together.However, the three of them behaved very naturally. Under the leadership of the staff, they walked to the last empty table and sat down.

"Third brother, what is the reason why you brought me and Da Lang here in a hurry today?" Although the shrewd businessman is older, he is also impatient. He asked the big fat man immediately after he sat down and ordered food. road.Judging from the tone of his words, he and Fatty should be brothers.

"Brother, don't you worry, since I have brought you and Da Lang here, there must be something very important, let's talk while eating when the dishes are served!" Said.

"Uncle, don't worry too much. The third uncle finally came to Chang'an. If he didn't taste the delicacies of Dengxianlou, how could he be reconciled?" At this time, the young scholar also laughed and said.Capital Datang 130

Hearing this, and looking at the clothes of the three of them, the people who followed them finally understood that the three uncles and nephews should be a typical small family. The uncle of the scholar is a businessman who manages the business of the family, and the third uncle They manage the fields at home in their hometown, and the scholar's father is in second place, but it may be due to illness or other reasons, so their house is managed by a young scholar.

After the scholar finished talking to the merchant uncle, he turned to the fat third uncle and said, "Third uncle, it's not that my nephew is talking about you, so you shouldn't eat too much. If you keep getting so fat, I'm afraid it will be bad for your health!"

Although the scholar's age is low, but he is a scholar supported by the family. The future development of the family will all depend on his performance in the official career, so his status in the family is relatively high, and he does not appear to be in front of the two elders. restrained.

Hearing his nephew's kind advice, the fat landlord smiled embarrassedly and said, "Hey, Da Lang is indeed a scholar, and he knows a lot of things. A few days ago, I felt a little stuffy in my chest. I went to a good doctor to take a look, and they also said that I was too fat, so I was told to restrict my diet, and I will definitely do it when I go back!"

The fat rich man only said that he would do it when he went back, implying that he had finally come to Chang'an, and he would definitely have a big meal, and he would talk about losing weight when he went back.Businessmen and scholars also knew the character of the fat rich man very well. After hearing this, they shook their heads helplessly and were too lazy to persuade him.

After a while, the food and wine they ordered came up one after another. Although there were only three of them, they ordered a large table full of dishes, and all of them were the signature dishes of Dengxianlou. However, judging by the fat man's figure, there is no need to worry about eating these dishes not finished.

After the food and wine were served, the fat rich man let go of his stomach and ate a big meal. The businessman and the scholars waited patiently until he was almost done with the food. Then the businessman asked, "Third brother, can we talk now?" Bar!"

The fat rich man wiped the oil from his mouth, smiled at his eldest brother and nephew, and then said: "Brother, Da Lang, I want to exchange part of our land!"
