The first article of "Datang Weekly" is about all aspects of these. It can be said that it is closely related to the people, and all the people naturally want to read it.
But the second article surprised everyone. This... this was really unexpected! From the title to the content, it’s amazing!
"The Great Tang Dynasty Family Finally Did a Good Thing"
When they saw this title, everyone's first reaction was, could Datang Weekly be controlled by a powerful family again? The second reaction is, Your Highness, King of Shu, have you been kidnapped? If you are kidnapped, just say it! All of us Chang'an people make the decision for you!
Everyone is almost having a stress reaction, but after the reaction in their heads, most people still want to read the content.
"Recently, after a survey by the editorial department of Datang Weekly, it was confirmed that a total of 13 masonry yards, five quarries around Chang'an City, and various industries that employ more workers have generally increased their salaries by three times! The most basic coolies have increased their wages by three times. For work, the monthly salary was originally 100 yuan, but recently it has been increased to 300 yuan per month.”
"And these masonry yards and quarries are from the following families: Xingyang Zheng family..." The Tang Dynasty Weekly directly listed the names of these wealthy families, and Xingyang Zheng family was the first to bear the brunt.
"I believe that after the conflict with His Highness the King of Shu, these aristocratic families have realized something and know how to take it from the people and use it for the people, so they have increased their salaries for the people."
"The increase in the monthly salary of the people is conducive to the national policy of the Tang Dynasty. When the people are rich and rich, it is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty being rich. In addition, food and other daily necessities related to the people have fluctuated recently. I believe that the powerful families behind these shops It will assist the Tang Dynasty to stabilize prices, and will not cause people's salaries to triple and food to quintuple."
"Of course, if such a situation occurs, I believe that the court officials and His Majesty will not sit idly by and ignore it."
"It can be seen that these wealthy families have not read the book of saints in vain..."
The following article highlights a core meaning: to set up the family members! Raised high.
The words of praise were overwhelming. After reading the entire article, all the people felt unbelievable that he was actually praising a powerful family! Your Highness, King of Shu, is the sun rising from the west? The common people do not have that much knowledge and do not read that much. They are limited to understanding the meaning of the article itself.
For example, what is the underlying meaning of the article? To be honest, ordinary people really can't understand it and can't tell it. People like Changsun Laoyin who can think of a hundred meanings in one sentence are all in the court. They Maybe you can see the meaning of the article, but it doesn't matter. What you want is for them to see it!
The ignorant are fearless. If you see it, you won't dare to make this mistake!
However, the common people were a little confused about this after reading it. They immediately ran to the comment column to see what "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng" thought of this article. Since "Datang Weekly" returned to the hands of His Highness the King of Shu, Mr. Lanling was very happy. Many of his comments were posted at noon to comment on the relevant content of "Datang Weekly".
Give people another interpretation.
When people came to the comment section, sure enough, the comment "Lan Ling Xiaoxiaosheng" had already appeared.
"When I read an article in "Datang Weekly" today, I believe many people were confused by me at first. Why did His Highness the King of Shu, who was struggling with the aristocratic family, suddenly praise the aristocratic family? But after reading it, I fell silent. Because I suddenly understood His Highness’s heart. Your Highness has never been hostile to certain people for the sake of being hostile to others, nor for his own reputation or for his own interests.”
"His Highness has only one idea. As long as he is good to the people, he will praise him. If he tries to control and fool the people, he will be demoted. That's all. His highness's innocent heart can be learned from heaven and earth."
After reading the comments of "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng", all the people were silent. It turns out... they are so important in His Highness's heart!
For a time, the people didn't know what to do. They had benefited from His Highness the King of Shu, but they had no ability to help His Highness... They didn't even have the chance to say thank you to His Highness.
At this moment... many people were pointing in the direction of Prince Shu's Mansion, silently bending down and bowing.
In the Tang Dynasty, when performing a salute, the body is almost motionless and can be slightly bent. When facing a person with a higher status or an elder, the body can be bent lower.
This almost ninety-degree bend is equivalent to the kneeling ceremony in later generations.
But I didn't think it was wrong to do so, because His Highness the King of Shu deserves to be treated like this!
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the teacup fell to the ground in Changsun Wuji's study, smashing it to pieces. There was no one else in the study, but at this moment, he felt uncomfortable!
That is to say, the plant "grass" has not been born in the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, he would have made a few high and low sounds.
This Li Ke... calm down! Be calm! After all, he is a person who has single-handedly overthrown all the ministers in the court and a powerful family. It is the right thing for the other party to play well with public opinion, not to be angry, not to be angry!
Changsun Wuji took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.
So damn cheap! Changsun Wuji felt something in his heart at this moment.
People say that one gains wisdom after one has suffered a loss. Changsun Wuji, various powerful families, and even various court officials, naturally bought the "Datang Weekly" immediately after Li Ke returned, including the comments on the streets. Naturally, Column also found someone to copy it back as soon as possible. Especially the comments made by "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng" and others, these people are definitely related to the King of Shu.
After reading it today, Changsun Wuji felt like he was so angry!
Of course he knew what that article meant. Wasn't it just flattering? Hold them to death, hold them until they can't let go. Zhangsun Wuji thought about it. This method is not difficult, but most people don't understand that it is a matter of flattery and killing. Saving a little reputation can be regarded as saving a little reputation. Although it is said that money is used to buy reputation, it is not a loss.
But after a year and a half, everyone has forgotten about this matter. Then they will find a reason to close these brick and stone factories and say that they can no longer operate. You still don’t allow me to close the doors? Then the people can't blame them. If this bit of property is sold to a small family and kept secret, wouldn't it still be in their hands?
But what makes Changsun Wuji disgusted is that Li Ke's move is too damaging! He was so flattering, but in the end, his damn reputation was actually taken away by him! Damn it! Do you think he can stop being angry? ! You say it's cheap or not.
But what Changsun Wuji didn't know was that Li Ke was arranging something else that would make him even more uncomfortable.
"Remember, no matter who asks you, this blacksmith shop is owned by the Zheng family in Xingyang. Do you understand? The Zheng family in Xingyang dare not object openly. If they dare to object openly, I will ruin their reputation. "Li Ke explained.
"Your Highness, I understand, but... why is this." The shopkeeper was a little confused. This was a shopkeeper that Tian Meng helped Li Ke transfer from Yuelai Trading Company.
"There is no reason. The only purpose of your blacksmith shop is to improve the welfare benefits for all blacksmiths and coolie apprentices. Didn't they increase the salary? If the outside increase is three times, we will pay five times. Anyway, your blacksmith shop only adds up to three times. A famous master, twenty coolie apprentices, and a hundred times the salary are not worth much."
"And not only the salary is increased, but food and housing are also taken care of, and fine linen clothes are distributed every month! One day off every five days! Every meal has meat! Just follow this! This time, with the Zheng family in Xingyang In the name of recruiting 20 coolie apprentices! I will have people help you publicize it." Li Ke sneered.
Are you going to start a price war with me? Are you cheating on me behind my back? I let you play! People don’t suffer from scarcity, they suffer from inequality! Let me see how you play!
Li Ke learned this trick from a shady netizen in his previous life.
A netizen ordered beef noodles, but there were only two slices of beef. The netizen was so angry that he bought the beef himself, cut half a bowl, put it in and took a photo, and gave the boss a five-star review and praised it to death! So...the boss received countless negative reviews.
