If Li Ke knew about Chang Sun Wuji's words, he would probably laugh endlessly. Theoretically speaking, there is no problem with what Chang Sun Wuji said. There was a little truth to it, but he got the essence of the matter wrong.
They have always felt that because they have always published articles related to the imperial policies, everyone feels that "Datang Weekly" is boring and has nothing to do with the people. It seems that this is also the case when people discuss among themselves, but this is not the case.
Which son-in-law in future generations has never experienced having a couple of drinks with his father-in-law and talking about state affairs? not too much.
The same principle holds true in ancient times. To be precise, the Han people have had this tradition since ancient times. It is engraved in their bones.
In fact, what the people really care about is the fact that those aristocratic families control "Datang Weekly". When they feel that "Datang Weekly" is controlled, the articles published on it, even if they are actually national policies, they also feel that this It is a national policy formulated under the control of aristocratic families.
They hate it because of this, not because they really don't care. Besides, Li Ke does not have this kind of content in the entire newspaper. He will also have other content. This is what Changsun Wuji and the others cannot follow.
However, they don't understand.
They are already in the game and cannot see through the game.
…
Li Xiaojiu happily put on his little mandarin jacket, with the words "Datang Weekly" on the back. He had always kept the clothes neatly and cleanly. After more than a month, he could finally use them again.
For more than a month, Li Xiaojiu and all the former beggars have been very worried. They are worried about His Highness the King of Shu, but they have no way to help His Highness the King of Shu. They thought they could help His Highness the King of Shu sell newspapers and share the burden. , who knew that after just selling the newspaper once, there would be no chance again, and then those damn wealthy families would take it back.
Fortunately, God has eyes, and those nobles were executed by His Majesty! Datang Weekly is back in the hands of His Highness again, hum! When you grow up, you must find opportunities to kill more people from well-established families!
They beggars have done nothing this month, but His Highness the King of Shu still provides them with food and drink, and even prepares three pieces of fine linen clothes for each of them so that they can change! And the food we eat is much better than the food served by ordinary people in many streets and alleys!
Li Xiaojiu felt that His Highness the King of Shu was a god from heaven who came down to save them. Even his sister, Li Xiaoshi, had gained a lot of weight this month. Her face was plump and rosy, and she even seemed to have grown taller. .
Everyone here does not want to go back to their previous life. Within this month, Li Xiaojiu really hated that he was not an adult. Otherwise, he would definitely kill the man named Changsun Wuji, hum! Anyway, this life was given by His Highness the King of Shu! This way his sister can live a good life!
But fortunately, I can sell newspapers again! His Highness the King of Shu also decided to give each of them a salary increase. For selling 20 newspapers, he would give 2 cents! You can save money at such a young age!
The master who taught them how to read said that His Highness the King of Shu asked them to start saving money now because they would build new houses for them in the future so that they could live a good life. By then, they would be able to buy a house with the money they had saved. !
Li Xiaojiu has made all the calculations. His Highness the King of Shu is in charge of food, food and housing here. He must save all the money!
The sky was still bright outside, and Li Xiaojiu had already gotten up and got ready. He arranged his clothes very cleanly, washed his face, and arranged his hair neatly. Master once said, Confucius said: The people take the king as their heart, and the king takes the people as their body; if the heart is solemn, the body will be comfortable, and if the heart is solemn, the face will be respectful.
The monarch regards the people as his own body, and then he is the body of His Highness the King of Shu, so his appearance must be neat and tidy. Working for His Highness the King of Shu represents the face of His Highness the King of Shu.
After receiving the newspaper and there were more people on the streets of Chang'an City, Li Xiaojiu rushed onto the street again carrying his small bag with newspapers: "Newspapers are sold! Newspapers are sold! A new issue of "Datang Weekly" is released, King of Shu Your Highness has something to say to all the people in Chang'an City!"
"The newspaper is sold, the newspaper is sold! The new issue of "Datang Weekly" is released. His Highness the King of Shu has something to say to all the people in Chang'an City!"
Li Xiaojiu shouted loudly. Seeing that familiar scene, Wei Zheng couldn't help but smile. His Highness the King of Shu did a good job in this regard. He knew where these children selling newspapers were. They were all beggars in Chang'an City. , but now all the beggars in Chang'an City have disappeared. They are all dressed in neat clothes and doing what they can.
These beggars range from four or five to ten years old. They can't do other jobs, but His Highness the King of Shu has given them a new way of living.
"Child, give me one." Wei Zheng waved to Li Xiaojiu.
"Yes!" Rushing to Wei Zheng's side, Li Xiaojiu handed Wei Zheng a newspaper, then took back the money in Wei Zheng's hand, then bent down and bowed: "Thank you on behalf of Your Majesty the King of Shu."
After saying that, Li Xiaojiu turned around and ran away, continuing to shout and sell newspapers on the street.
Wei Zheng was stunned, a beggar...has he started to learn etiquette? You must know that they used to be regarded as a chronic disease of Chang'an City. Everyone would look at them with disgust when they saw them, and they also had extremely low self-esteem. Except when begging for food, they would hardly approach anyone because they should not be offended if they were angry. Anyone who offends will be beaten to death.
But now, all of them are extremely energetic, lively, and even more positive than ordinary children. What method did His Highness King Shu use?
After Wei Zheng was stunned, he opened the Datang Weekly in his hand.
The familiar layout and pages have not changed much. Except for today’s date and today’s prices in Chang’an City, the title of the first article under Datang Weekly is “On the Latest Situation of the Battle against Tuyuhun”
Wei Zheng knew this, so he simply skipped it and looked at the following article. On the second article, the title was: His Highness the King of Shu's Statement to the People of Chang'an City.
"Everyone in Chang'an has learned about the recent turmoil between Datang Weekly and the Zheng family. First of all, I, the King of Shu, Li Ke, would like to solemnly apologize to the people of Chang'an who were affected by this incident."
Wei Zheng's eyes widened. This... the first sentence he said made Wei Zheng unexpected. Apologize to the people? The point is...what did you do wrong? It seems like I did nothing wrong.
Wei Zheng felt that he was being picky enough, but he didn't even think that His Highness the King of Shu was wrong. This..., he could only continue reading.
"After the "Datang Weekly" incident, the Zheng family in Xingyang sent someone to send two million yuan, saying it was compensation for His Highness. In fact, this money had nothing to do with me, Li Ke, but the reason why the other party sent it to me was , just want to take the opportunity to insult my reputation, saying that I, Li Ke, only do it for money. After all, two million yuan, one-fifth of Datang’s annual income last year, is enough for me, Li Ke, to visit brothels and drink as many times as I want. Drink, how many times have you seduced the gangster? After all, they were the ones who framed me, and now this method is nothing more than more sophisticated."
"After all, money and silk can move people's hearts. This has never happened before."
"I wanted to refuse, but then I thought, why don't you want the free money, so I accepted it on behalf of all the people in Chang'an City! Why do you say that? Because I have asked my father to publish it from Datang Weekly Starting from that date, His Highness donated all the 2 million yuan in cash, without taking a penny, to renovate all the damaged streets in Chang'an City, dredge all the drainage systems in Chang'an City, including open channels, culverts, moats, etc., and install them in various cities and towns in Chang'an City. In places where people move around, public toilets should be built.”
