Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 113 Good or Bad?

"The scourge of eunuchs has happened in ancient and modern times; but the world's lord should not be a false favor, so that this is the case. If you want to punish crimes, you should get rid of the original evil, but paying a jailer is enough, why call foreign soldiers one after another? If you want to punish them all, It will be revealed. I expect it will fail."

In Yushi Taichung, Zheng Jiasheng was drinking tea while reading "Da Tang Bao" very comfortably.

Zheng Jiasheng has become a loyal consumer of "Datang Daily" since he discovered the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" serialized in the newspaper.

On the way to work every day, as long as there is a newsboy selling "Da Tang Pao", he must buy a copy.

"Zheng Yushi, I heard that the "Datang Daily" has lost more than 20 pennies today. There are rumors outside that the "Datang Daily" will not survive this year."

Shangguan Dongfang stood next to Zheng Jiasheng, sharing the latest news he got.

As a new thing, "Datang Daily" has been the object of discussion among officials of Chang'an City after dinner.

Whether it is the emergence of novelty things like newspapers, the various reports published on them, or the ongoing serialization of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it can make people discuss for a long time.

With more followers, there will naturally be more messages of all kinds.

Some merchants have calculated the cost of "Datang Daily", and combined with the selling price, they will naturally know how much the newspaper is losing money every day.

Judging from the current circulation that is increasing every time, in the future, "Datang Daily" will lose [-] to [-] yuan every time it is published.

After a month, that's two to three hundred guan, and a year is three to four thousand guan.

This number is definitely not a small number.

You know, if all the tax revenue of the imperial court in the Nine Years of Wude is converted into money, it is only about 1000 million guan.

Therefore, if you have a lot of money, you are already considered a very rich person.

Think about it, if someone's family wealth in future generations has one-thousandth of the national treasury's annual income, is it considered very rich?

"This Qin Dalang always does things that are beyond everyone's expectations. Although the "Datang News" is currently losing money, I always feel that Qin Dalang must have his own considerations for setting such a low price.

So I don't agree with the rumor that "Datang Daily" won't survive this year.

On the contrary, I think that after a while, maybe Qin Dalang will come up with some new tricks. "

Although Zheng Jiasheng didn't know how to turn the "Datang Daily" into a profit, but out of his trust in Qin Xiedao, he was optimistic about the future of the "Datang Daily".

"I hope so. Otherwise, if "Datang Daily" goes bankrupt, we will have no place to watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". That would be a pity."

Shangguan Dongfang is now a loyal fan of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The way of writing is different from the scriptures such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Spring and Autumn", and the storyline is different from the strange novels in the bookstore, which has completely captured Shangguan Dongfang.

So even if he is not very interested in other reports in "Datang Daily", he is willing to buy a newspaper and come back to savor it slowly.

……

"Shubao, I heard that your boss has been confused again recently? Or is it that your sugar shop and Baiyunbian shop are making too much money, and you don't take money seriously anymore?"

Inside the East Palace, Li Shimin called a group of courtiers to discuss matters.

After the business talk is over, everyone will naturally talk about other things in twos and threes.

But Hou Junji came to Qin Qiong as if watching a joke.

Hou Junji didn't like reading. Normally, things like "Da Tang Bao" would not attract his interest.

However, there is a serialization of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in it.

In this era, as long as they are generals, few people can resist the impact of this little book.

The descriptions of various exciting war scenes are something you have never seen before.

So even a general like Hou Junji who doesn't like reading books is now a consumer of "Datang Daily".

"The children and grandchildren have their own blessings. The money in the family is basically earned by Da Lang, and it will be inherited by Da Lang in the future. He can make as much trouble as he wants."

Qin Qiong glanced at Hou Junji very calmly, and replied indifferently.

This reply was obviously beyond Hou Junji's expectation.

When did Qin Qiong have such low demands on his son?
"The son is not filial, the father's fault, Shu Bao, Xie Dao is still young after all, you should take care of it, you still have to take care of it. Otherwise, if you hang out with Cheng Chumo and Yuchihuan all day long, your reputation will be ruined. "

After all, Hou Junji's character was lonely and arrogant, so he was doomed to not have many friends in Chang'an City.

Just a simple sentence not only offended Qin Qiong, but also Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong by the way.

Such a person, no wonder the final fate is a bit miserable.

"Hou Junji, no matter how bastard my son is, he's still my son. It's better than having no son, okay?"

Cheng Yaojin at the side also heard Hou Junji's words.

Originally, if Hou Junji hadn't mentioned Cheng Chumo, he would have held back and said nothing.

After all, everyone used to have a little friendship.

But what does he mean by saying that now?
Is my Cheng Yaojin's son so unbearable?
No matter how unbearable it is, he is still my son. I can only educate him, and it is not for others to make irresponsible remarks.

This is the principle of Cheng Yaojin's life.

Besides, Cheng Yaojin has always appeared in the court with a carefree personality, and everyone knows that he has a very hot temper.

So he himself was not worried about whether there would be any adverse effects after angering Hou Junji.

"Hmph, Cheng Zhijie, everyone in Chang'an City knows the virtues of your sons. When His Majesty was not enthroned, our feelings were not so obvious. Now go to the street to find out for yourself and see your Cheng How is the family's reputation?"

Hou Junji retorted bluntly.

"Okay, okay, there's nothing to argue about. Zuo Zuo only lost [-] to [-] pennies at a time. For the time being, our Yiguo Mansion can still afford it. Dalang's "Da Tang Bao" doesn't always worry about it. .”

Qin Shubao looked at Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji who were quarreling speechlessly.

During this period of time, I have been tossed a lot because of Qin Xiedao's affairs.

Fortunately, this toss is a kind of happy toss.

Otherwise, with this density of tossing frequency, he felt that his life might be shortened.

now...

"By the way, Uncle Bao, does Da Lang have the manuscript of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at home? When you go back, ask for me and see if you can lend it to me to have a look first."

Cheng Yaojin is also a person who can read and write, so he naturally likes "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"This... I need to discuss this matter with Xiedao. Maybe his manuscript is still being revised, and it won't be ready for printing soon."

Qin Qiong is naturally not stupid, even if his good brother spoke, he would not sell his son.
