My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 42: fool Li Shimin

After Sizi and Li Zhi distributed Li Yin's candied haws to their brothers and sisters, Li Yin's name became more famous in the palace. The previous shampoo and perfume made the concubines' impression of him greatly changed. My sister also admires him for inventing such a delicious thing.

??The person who plagiarized the achievements of later generations didn't realize it. He drank tea in the Ministry of Industry and boasted all morning, and missed work in the afternoon to go to Xiaoshanao.

??Turning around the workshop and checking the reserves of newsprint, Li Yin felt that the production of newspapers could start now.

"Let's hold a job fair!" In the office, Li Yin said to Su Mo'er. The printing work requires someone to typeset the type, and this cannot be done by the slaves in the workshop, only those who can read Only human beings can undertake this work.

??Su More'er has been looking forward to this day for a long time. She has been waiting to see what kind of effect the newspaper can have in Chang'an. As for the word job fair, Li Yin also explained to her that it means recruiting people to work.

??Li Yin gave the order, and Su Morer acted immediately, writing a notice and having it posted in places where literati frequented.

?? "The Shengtang Commercial Daily is open to talents and talents. There is one editor-in-chief, five editors-in-charge, and ten reporters. The salary is generous. They work four hours a day, including food and housing. The specific monthly salary is interviewed..."

Qujiang, a gentleman in Chinese clothes shook his paper fan and read the content of the notice, shaking his head in a very funny way. This is the notice written by Su Morer. There are job positions on it, and explanations are attached to these positions. After all, They don't understand these trendy words.

?? "...Liang Wang's property, quality assurance!" Brother Young Master finished the last sentence.

?? "What's the meaning of this? How can we associate scholars with copper smells? It's really insulting!" A young man in a beggar's uniform shouted loudly, with a high-spirited look.

?? "Come on, brother Wang, scholars also have to eat. It says above that there is nothing to be ashamed of if you work hard and get paid. I think it's good. You can write articles and get paid!"

?? "Vulgarity cannot be tolerated. Mencius said that poverty and humbleness cannot be moved, and wealth and honor..."

?? "Pedantic, who said that scholars can't make money!"

?? "..."

Next to the notice, the literati started the debate contest with each other. In this era where everything is inferior but reading is high, such debates are also normal. These literati don’t listen to the outside world, and only read the books of sages and sages. , I never knew that tea, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Even when Li Bai was poor later, he didn't think about how to make money properly.

??The interview location for the job fair was in Prince Liang's Mansion. Li Yin and Su Morer were the interviewers, but Li Yin and Su Morer still underestimated the feudal thinking of scholars, and no one came after waiting for two days.

?? "What's going on?" Li Yin was dumbfounded.

??Su Morer smiled wryly: "These scholars are all thinking about getting fame, and they are all focused on studying. There are a few who are willing to spend time on this. Even if they agree, their families will not agree."

Li Yin paced back and forth, people who could not read and write could not continue to work, had to find a way, "Li Shimin!" Suddenly, Li Yin thought of his emperor father, if his newspaper was officially recognized, and Then he played the gimmick, saying that these newspapers were mainly provided for court officials to read, and he didn't believe that those scholars who were only thinking about getting into the court could still sit still.

??Thinking of this, Li Yin immediately set off for Tai Chi Palace.

?? "Your Highness, the emperor is talking with the empress in the imperial garden!" Last time, he stuffed a luminous pearl into Wang Gui, and the attitude of the servant of the Huangmen changed greatly from his previous business-like attitude.

?? "Then please trouble Wang Shilang to report it!"

?? "His Highness Six, wait a moment!" Wang Gui entered the imperial garden and came back after a while, "Your Highness Sixth, the Emperor let you in!"

?? "Thank you Wang Shilang!" Li Yin cupped his hands.

??In the imperial garden, Li Shimin was taking a walk with the eldest grandson empress when Li Yin came in and said, "I will see my father and mother!"

?? "Excuse me, Wang Shilang said that you have something important to report. Could it be that there is some difficulty in the underground pipeline?" Li Shimin asked.

?? "Reporting to the emperor is not a matter of channels, but the minister is due to another matter!"

?? "Oh? What's up!"

??Li Yin sorted out his wording, and said, "My son is going to produce something called a newspaper!"

?? "Newspaper?" Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sat down in a gazebo hand in hand, and Li Yin followed closely behind.

"Yes, this kind of newspaper is somewhat similar to the memorial, but the memorial is for the emperor, and this newspaper is for the people of the world. This newspaper also records the world's major events and daily news, so that every Tang citizen can understand What is happening in Datang!"

??Li Yin's words aroused Li Shimin's interest, and he said: "Please explain in more detail!"

??Li Yin cleared his throat, and began to narrate the benefits of the newspaper to the Tang Dynasty. He talked for more than half an hour, and Li Shimin became more excited as he listened, and Empress Changsun nodded frequently.

"It's a good supervision of public opinion, and a good way to spread the word. Once this kind of newspaper is established, doesn't it mean that I can publicize my policies and laws to every citizen of the Tang Dynasty? And the sufferings of the people of the Tang Dynasty can be fed back to my own. In your hand, Min’er, you really have done a marvel for Tang!” Li Shimin stood up and patted Li Min on the shoulder vigorously.

??Li Shimin approved the newspaper, and Li Yin revealed his real purpose: "Father, the newspaper is indeed beneficial to the Tang Dynasty without any harm, but..." Li Yin bought it first.

?? "Just what? If you have any difficulties, tell your father, this is a good thing for Datang, and your father will definitely support you!"

?? "I want my father to issue an imperial order, and give Shengtang Business Daily an official order!"

?? Li Yin's words hit Li Shimin's heart, he understood the ability of newspapers to influence speech, of course he understood that such things must be in his own hands, but Li Yin is his son after all, and he can't just grab it directly.

??Li Yin plotted Li Shimin at the same time, did not expect that Li Shimin was also plotting against him, Li Shimin said: "Since you insist on this, then I will issue an imperial order to the people, declaring that this newspaper must pass my review before publication, how about it?"

?? Li Yin was almost crazy with joy. Li Shimin directly reviewed the newspaper, which would bring huge potential profits to Shengtang Business Daily.

"My son, thank you, Father!" Once something like a newspaper is produced, it will be interfered by the court sooner or later. Instead of being interfered by other officials, it is better to go through Li Shimin directly. After all, Li Shimin is also Li Yin's biological father, so he will not be too deceitful. of.

??Li Yin left Taiji Palace contentedly, and Li Shimin was also overjoyed. In the imperial garden, Empress Changsun said: "Min'er is not the naughty child he used to be. It's time for the emperor to let go of his prejudice against him."

Li Shimin pondered and said: "I have also seen the changes in the past few months. I don't say anything, but I still understand it in my heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't let him be a member of the Ministry of Industry, just to try him, but Today's newspaper made me admire him even more."

??Empress Changsun smiled and said, "The same goes for my concubines!"
