Everyone was shocked and immediately stood in two rows and bowed to pay homage to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin asked curiously: "My dear friends, what are you holding in your hands?"
Wei Zheng took a step forward and said immediately: "Your Majesty, this is something that just appeared today. People call it a newspaper. There is also another name, Datang Daily."
Li Shimin frowned, why didn't the secret guard report this to him?
"Wang De, bring it up and let me have a look!"
After Li Shimin read the newspaper, he sometimes frowned and sometimes sneered.
As the king of a country, he naturally saw that newspapers could quickly spread news throughout the world.
This thing is like a double-edged sword. If it is held in the hands of the court, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If it is held in the hands of the enemy, it may confuse the public and endanger the country of the Tang Dynasty.
"Who made this thing?"
The ministers below, you look at me, I look at you, you don’t know, because this thing suddenly appeared this morning.
"We don't know."
Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Your Majesty, no matter who created it, this thing must be banned. Once it is allowed to develop, it will be a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin nodded, but he had to know who made this thing and find the source.
Li Shimin continued to read the newspaper, "The Tang Dynasty opened in heaven and earth...".
This seems to be a slogan, but what is the purpose of heaven and earth? He doesn't know anything now.
Damn Li Shu, what does he do for food?
Then, he turned to the other side, and on the reverse side were all his poems printed, as well as an article about "water can carry a boat and also capsize it."
Li Shimin's expression softened slightly. Does this person still understand my thoughts?
I know how to promote my poems and articles, but I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how dare you rank my poems and articles at the bottom? biquge.biz
Don’t I want to lose face?
Finally, when he looked at the gossip, his face darkened involuntarily.
What the hell is this? It’s inferior!
He touched the paper, and it was as good as the paper he usually wrote on. The paper he used was a tribute, and it was extremely expensive.
This man actually used such valuable paper to make newspapers. What was his intention?
"How much does this newspaper cost?" Li Shimin asked unhappily.
Wei Zheng was still waiting to criticize someone, but His Majesty looked at the newspaper and became happy.
"Your Majesty, one penny a piece." Hearing His Majesty ask this, he immediately replied.
Li Shimin's eyes widened, whose family's prodigal son is this?
According to the usual printing costs in the palace, such a piece of paper, plus engraving and printing, would probably cost dozens of dollars, mainly because engraving is too expensive.
However, this newspaper should look the same. To make thousands of copies, you only need to carve a set of engraving plates.
But this paper shouldn’t cost a penny, right?
"Wang De, ask Li Shu to investigate immediately. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find this person for me."
Li Shimin listened to this newspaper. He only needed a penny, and there was no such thing as a big complaint in this world about doing business at a loss.
Unless he is a treacherous minister and traitor who wants to overthrow his Tang Dynasty.
If the cost is really a penny, then this thing will be of great use.
He can put a hat on any of the five surnames and seven hopes in a minute, and the initiative is in his hands, and he can make them never turn over.
The newspaper is in his hands, and it is a sharp sword. Whoever he wants to kill, everyone in the world will follow him and kill him.
Moreover, this thing can also convey government orders in a short time.
If paper were cheaper, everyone in the world would be able to read. No matter how poor they were, they could always afford a newspaper. If not, every household would be given one.
This court will soon be infused with fresh power.
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching the person who created the newspaper. This person has bad intentions. This thing is a double-edged sword!"
"I know!"
Wei Zheng: "???"
"Wei Qing, what we are discussing today is the resettlement of refugees outside Chang'an City... let's put it aside for now."
For example, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling and others have already seen that His Majesty wants to take possession of the newspaper as his own!
However, the person who produced the newspaper will be unlucky.
at the same time.
The Prince of the East Palace also held a newspaper and read the content on it. Only then did he realize that the third brother had deceived them and made them suffer so much!
He knew the appearance of the manor built by his third brother. He had seen the picture in the newspaper, it was the manor built by his third brother.
The third brother is not in the business of women's underwear at all. He is in the business of restaurants, restaurants, entertainment...
After reading the newspaper’s introduction to “Heaven and Earth”.
Li Chengqian let out a long sigh. The workshop they built was simply ridiculous.
"Mr. Sima, what do you think of this heaven and earth? This is the new business created by the King of Shu."
Li Chengqian put down the newspaper and looked up at the newly recruited hermit master Sima Qiu.
At this moment, Sima Qiu was wearing blue-grey clothes. He was 1.78 meters tall. Although his temples were a little gray, he was still a handsome old man.
"Your Highness, this is a good and profitable business, but it depends on how he operates it."
"According to the introduction above, anyone who enters the heaven and earth needs to pay a VIP fee of one hundred guan. How many people can the Tang Dynasty have if they can have one hundred guan?"
"And there are super VIP members who have to top up a thousand guan. Who would use a thousand guan to play?"
Sima Qiu acted like a master, stroking his beard and smiling: "I can guarantee that if he does this, he may be closed down within half a year."
"But this newspaper is a good thing."
"If you can win it... Your Highness, the right to speak in the future will be in your hands. Whatever you want to do, there will be public support..."
Li Chengqian glanced at Sima Qiu. He could see the value of the newspaper after reading it.
It's just that it's definitely not possible to imitate, and it's not like he's a big hater if he sells it for just a penny.
"Your Highness, as long as we find the person who created this thing and take it down in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be enough?"
"good idea!"
Li Chengqian patted the table and said with a smile, "How about I leave this matter to you, sir?"
Sima Qiu: "..."
That was done by the King of Shu. How can you let me go?
If you don't get it right, your emperor will give you a slap in the face.
Can others touch the newspaper?
Even if you are the prince, you can’t do it, hehehe...
The King of Shu is waiting for you to touch the newspaper!
"Your Highness, I have just arrived and am not familiar with Chang'an City... Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Is that so? Then I'll find someone else to take care of it?" Li Chengqian thought for a while and said.
"Come here, call Du He. His injury should be healed."
At this time, Fang Yiai came.
Sun Cheng is gone, and the underwear workshop can only be managed by him.
But in the past few days, we have spent money and material resources on publicity, and even competed with the people of the King of Shu for publicity.
The result was good, Quan Fu made a wedding dress for the King of Shu.
Just in the early hours of this morning, the workshop broke down and a fire broke out, and all the hundreds of thousands of dollars they invested were lost.
"His Royal Highness, it's bad, something happened..."
He ran into the palace in a panic. At this moment, his face was covered with dirt, and his clothes were covered with ashes and holes. He looked like a laborer in a kiln. Li Chengqian almost didn't recognize him.
"Chang Sun Chong?"
"Your Highness, woo woo woo..."
"What happened? How can you behave in such a panic?"
Changsun Chong was still frightened and even more angry. I was almost burned to death inside, and you still scolded me?
But he still said in a tearful tone: "Your Highness, our underwear workshop has suffered a breakdown. There was a fire and there is nothing left..."
Li Chengqian's whole body trembled.
Then he became furious, his eyes were red, and he roared: "How did you do it, how did you get away with it?"
"I don't know either!" Changsun Chong said innocently.
Li Chengqian was almost mad to death. He invested 20,000 guan, 20,000 guan!
It just disappeared like this?
"If you don't go out of water sooner or later, you go out of water at this time. Third brother, third brother..."
"It must be you!"
"I want to kill you..."
Li Chengqian roared crazily. At this moment, he had lost his mind, smashed the things in the living room to the floor, and even punched Changsun Chong to the ground.
Sima Qiu was so frightened that he hid in the corner and trembled.
Damn it, as expected, being with a king is like being with a tiger. There are no good people in this royal family, they are all man-eating tigers.
The King of Shu is like this, this prince is more cruel than the King of Shu!
After the prince calmed down, he summoned all the investors to discuss matters.
At noon, Fang Yiai, Du He and other people who had invested in the workshop all came.
They all almost went crazy when they heard something happened in their workshop.
They were about to see money coming, but it was burned down, which made them crazy.
Mainly, you don’t even know who set the fire?
But they all agreed that the fire was set by the King of Shu.
They worked hard to promote it for several days. As a result, the King of Shu published their heaven and earth promotion in the newspaper this morning, and their workshop was still on fire.
Everything done in the early stage was made into a wedding dress for the King of Shu.
There is no such thing as a coincidence in the world.
But even though they knew it was the King of Shu who set the fire, they still had nothing to do. They were just heartbroken that all the money they invested was in vain and they didn't even hear a sound.
The money they invested was not their own, but was secretly taken from home, or even misappropriated from the family's business.
…
Li Ke also entered the palace.
"My sister sits on the bow of the boat, and my brother walks on the shore..."
He was very happy today. The newspaper was very effective. Once it was sold, three thousand copies were sold out in the morning.
It was not in vain that he invested 50,000 yuan and recruited so many skilled craftsmen, and finally produced good paper. Although the paper was not as good as rice paper, it was enough for making newspapers.
As long as you continue to experiment, it won't take long before rice paper can be made.
Moreover, movable type printing was also developed by craftsmen.
This newspaper was printed using movable type printing.
In fact, the cost of manufacturing a newspaper was only half a penny. If more were printed, it would not cost half a penny, and he would still make money.
However, he still had to report this newspaper to his father and give him some benefits.
He wanted to ask, who does the emperor want to kill recently? The son-in-law is going to discredit him and make him lose his reputation and become a rat on the street, and everyone calls for beating him.
Then he invited his father to go to his heaven and earth, wander around, cut ribbons, and help him gain popularity.
Where the emperor goes, the ministers can also go, not to mention the nobles and businessmen, they will rush to go.
If that doesn't work, invite the Supreme Emperor, and the two emperors will come to heaven and earth.
That row of noodles, who else in this world?
