My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 35: newspaper forecast

"Your Highness, the paper mill has already accumulated a lot of newsprint, should we continue to produce it?" Su Mo'er and Su Mo'er inspected the paper mill as usual. Li Yin is very satisfied with the current production progress of the paper mill. Since the point system was posted, The enthusiasm of the slaves has increased a lot, and each of them is really working hard.

??Li Yin thought for a while, and said: "Go on, these papers seem to be a lot. Once newspapers are printed and used, you will know that there are not enough papers!"

?? "Newspaper, what exactly is the newspaper you are talking about, Your Highness?" Su Moer couldn't help asking curiously when Li Yin mentioned the word newspaper many times.

Speaking of newspapers, the earliest record from the history books is "Kaiyuan Miscellaneous News" during the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. This newspaper is the official newspaper of the Tang Dynasty. Officials in the capital did not spread to the common people, and they stopped printing after only a short period of time. The later newspapers were called "Jinzuo Yuanbao", "Jiaobao", and "Miscellaneous Newspapers". It belongs to the official newspaper. During the Zhenguan period, there were no newspapers in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yin was the first to eat crabs.

"This newspaper is to record all kinds of events that happened in the Tang Dynasty every day, ranging from national laws and policies, to the appointment and dismissal of officials, to the interesting stories about how Aunt Zhang stole a man, and so on. Changing the content every day can allow ordinary people to know what is happening around them at any time, and play a role in supervising the society." Li Yin roughly explained the function of the newspaper to Su Morer.

??Su Moer came from a family of officials and was familiar with poetry and books since she was a child. Li Yin's narration immediately made her understand the power of this new thing, "Isn't that the way of speaking among the people is in our hands!"

"That's right, the sufferings of the common people, the corruption of officials, and the opinions of the people on the policies of the imperial court can all be recorded in newspapers, so that the common people are no longer blind and deaf." Li Yin couldn't help but fantasize about the changes that the newspaper might bring to the Tang Dynasty. laughed.

??Su Moer looked at Li Yin with a strange light, how did he come up with such a magical idea, "Then how does His Highness plan to sell these newspapers!"

"Take the cheap mass route, which is why I set up a paper mill. You think, paper is so expensive now, plus the cost of printing, ordinary people can't afford newspapers at all. Now that paper is in our hands, the cost is 100%. But it can be shortened a lot, and at that time, a newspaper will only sell for one penny, which is the price of a sip of tea, and everyone can afford a newspaper at that time.” Li Yin began to fantasize that he would become Merkel, a news tycoon, and he continued road:

?? "And when newspapers become popular, can we still charge advertising fees?"

?? "Advertising fee?" Su Morer looked at Li Yin suspiciously.

?? Li Yin realized that this word was a bit ahead of his time, and explained: "Let me ask you, how can a merchant sell its goods to more people?"

?? "It's yelling everywhere."

?? "Yes, this is an advertisement. The apricot blossom wine poetry competition we held last time was actually an advertisement, in order to let others know about our apricot blossom wine."

??Su Moer nodded, and suddenly realized: "I understand, once our newspaper is popularized in everyone's hands, as long as we write the information of the goods in the newspaper, others will be able to understand our goods."

?? "That's right, when the time comes, all the goods of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce will be advertised, and the smell of wine will not be a problem for us if the alley is deep. Why worry about our things not being sold."

??Su Moer snatched the words, "And other merchants will definitely come to our door when they see our advertisement. We will charge the advertisement fee. For us, we can earn a lot of money at basically no cost!"

??Li Yin glanced at Su Mo'er appreciatively, and sighed: "Mo'er is really my confidant, Jin Daqian, this wood, is as good as playing the piano against a cow."

??Su Moer was overjoyed, thought of something, and said in a tone mixed with blame, "Your Highness's confidant is that Luo Xiaoyi!"

?? "Ah, what! Cough!" Li Yin seemed to be choking on peanuts, "Well, you can have a lot of confidants!"

?? "Hmph, Your Highness, Su Mo'er is thinking of you, so you should avoid dealing with that Luo Xiaoyi!" Su Mo'er thought for a while and decided to speak out her thoughts.

??Luo Xiaoyi's figure flashed in Li Yin's mind, and Li Yin said: "Why did Mo Er say that!"

??Su Moer knelt down in front of Li Yin, "Your Highness, Moer ordered Sima Tu to investigate Li Chunyuan and Luo Xiaoyi without authorization."

?? "What! Why didn't you tell me..." Li Yin said in surprise, a little displeased.

"Will Your Highness agree?" Su Mo'er looked straight into Li Min's eyes, "Your Highness has favored Mo'er's rebirth, and Mo'er can't repay her. She swore to follow His Highness for the rest of her life, so Mo'er won't just watch Your Highness is in danger!"

Li Yin's relationship with Luo Xiaoyi is just a relationship between lovers and lovers, and there is no such thing as love between you and me. He has not lost his mind because of this, but Su Morer's interference in his private life still makes him a little uncomfortable. It's just that Su Mo'er was doing it for her own good, so Li Yin didn't blame her, and simply asked, "What did you find out!"

?? "Please look, Your Highness!" Seeing that Li Yin didn't mean to blame her, Su Morer handed Li Yin the results of Sima Tu's investigation.

"The owner of Lichunyuan is Liu Bai'e. Her husband used to be a timber merchant. In the first year of Zhenguan, the family was killed in the war, leaving only Liu Bai'e and Luo Xiaoyi. This Lichunyuan was run by her husband's savings. Come to think of it, this Luo Xiaoyi’s family also died in the war and was later adopted by Liu Bai’e.” Su Mo’er continued, “I have asked Sima Tu to go to Qingzhou to find out if there was such a timber merchant in the past. It's not convincing at all, and..." Su Mo'er conjectured that she first seduced the fifth prince to Luo Xiaoyi, and after being bumped into by Li Yin, she changed her target to Luo Xiaoyi.

??Li Yin nodded. When he calmed down, he had also thought that Luo Xiaoyi had deliberately seduced him in every possible way from the very beginning in the painting boat that day, but he had neglected to take it away at the time.

?? "Your Highness, look at this again!" Su Mo'er put the burnt joss stick, which was only one millimeter long, into Li Yin's hand.

Li Yin looked at Su Mo'er and waited for her explanation, "I found it in the painting boat. Although they cleaned it very well, they still missed a little bit. I asked the doctor Yang in the mansion to look at it. It's a kind of fascination." Fragrance, smelling it can arouse excitement in people's hearts and make people lose their minds."

?? Li Yin's face was ashen, he was put in a position after all, did this Luo Xiaoyi really have a purpose in approaching him?

"Send some more nurses to Sima Tu, and let him investigate thoroughly!" Li Yin's eyes narrowed, just as Concubine Yang said, he is a prince, and I don't know how many people want to make decisions on him, he has to learn I have learned a class called power tactics.
