"Your Highness, the paper mill has accumulated a lot of newspaper. Do you want to continue producing it?”After patrolling the paper mill with Su Mo 'er as usual, Li Yin was very satisfied with the production progress of the paper mill. Ever since the point system was posted, the enthusiasm of the slaves had increased a lot, and all of them were really working hard.
Li Yin thought for a moment and said," Continue. This paper looks like it's quite a lot. Once the newspaper is printed, you'll know that it's not enough!”
"A newspaper? Your Highness, what is this newspaper you are talking about?”Li Yin had mentioned the word newspaper many times, and Su Mo 'er could not help but ask curiously.
Speaking of newspapers, the earliest records from the history books were the Kaiyuan Zaobao of the Tang Xuanzong period. This newspaper was an official newspaper of the Tang Dynasty. It recorded the court's movements and the foreign policies of the Tang Dynasty. The readers of the newspaper were all officials in the capital at that time. It was not popularized among the people and was no longer printed after a short period of time. Later newspapers were called "Jinzouyuan Zoubao","Baozhuang", and "Zaobao". They were all official newspapers. During the Zhenguan period, there were no newspapers in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yin was the first to eat the crab.
"This newspaper records all kinds of daily events in the Great Tang, from major national laws and policies to the appointment and dismissal of officials to trivial matters such as Second Aunt Zhang having an affair. A copy is published every day and the contents are changed the next day. It can let ordinary people know what is happening around them at any time and serve as a monitor of society.”Li Yin roughly explained the function of the newspaper to Su Mo 'er.
Su Mo 'er came from a family of officials and was familiar with poetry and books since she was young. Li Yin's narration immediately made her understand the power of this new thing." Then, doesn't that mean that the way of speech among the people is in our hands!”
"That's right. The sufferings of the commoners, the desires of the officials, and the views of the commoners on the court's policies can all be recorded in the newspapers, so that the commoners are no longer blind and deaf.”Li Yin imagined the changes that the newspaper might bring to the Tang Dynasty and couldn't help but laugh.
Su Mo 'er looked at Li Yin with a strange glint in her eyes. How did he come up with such a magical idea?" Then, how does Your Highness plan to sell these newspapers?!"”
" We're going for a cheaper price for the masses. This is also the reason why I set up the paper mill. Think about it, paper is so expensive now. Coupled with the cost of printing, the common people can't afford newspapers at all. Now that the paper is in our hands, the cost can be greatly reduced. By then, a newspaper will only be sold for one coin, which is the price of a sip of tea. At that time, everyone will be able to afford newspapers.”Lee began to fantasize about becoming a news tycoon like Angela. He continued,
"And when the newspaper becomes popular, we can also collect advertising fees?”
"Advertising fees?" Su Mo 'er looked at Li Yin in confusion.
Li Yin realized that this word was a little too forward, so he explained,"Let me ask you, how does a merchant sell their goods to more people?”
"Of course, they're shouting everywhere."
"Yes, this is an advertisement. The last time we held the Apricot Blossom Wine Poetry Competition was actually an advertisement to let others know about our Apricot Blossom Wine.”
Su Mo 'er nodded and said in realization,"I understand now. Once our newspaper is in everyone's hands, as long as we write the information of our goods in the newspaper, others will be able to understand our goods.”
"That's right. When the time comes, all the goods of the Magnificent Tang Chamber of Commerce will be advertised, and the fragrance of wine won't be a problem for us.”
Su Mo 'er interrupted," Besides, when other businesses see our advertisement, they will definitely come looking for us. We will collect advertising fees. To us, it will not cost us much and we can earn a lot of money!”
Li Yin looked at Su Mo 'er with admiration and sighed,"Mo 'Er is really my confidant. Jin Daqian, that blockhead, talking to him is like playing the lute to a cow.”
Su Mo 'er's heart was filled with joy. She thought of something and said in a blaming tone," Your Highness's confidant is that Luo Xiaoyi, right?!”
"Ah, what? Cough cough!" Li Yin seemed to choke on peanuts." Well, there can be many confidants!”
"Hmph, Your Highness, Su Mo 'er is thinking for you. It's best if you don't interact with that Luo Xiaoyi!”Su Mo 'er thought about it and decided to voice her thoughts.
Luo Xiaoyi's figure flashed in Li Yin's mind. Li Yin said,""Mo 'er, why do you say that!"
Su Mo 'er suddenly knelt down in front of Li Yin." Your Highness, Mo' er ordered Sima Tu to investigate Li Chun Yard and Luo Xiaoyi without permission.”
"What?! " Why didn't you tell me…" Li Yin said in surprise and displeasure.
"Will His Highness agree?" Su Mo 'er looked straight into Li Yin's eyes." Your Highness has given me a second life. I have no way to repay you. I have vowed to follow Your Highness for the rest of my life. Therefore, I will not watch Your Highness be in danger!”
Li Yin's relationship with Luo Xiaoyi was just love. In human relationships, there was no such thing as lovey-dovey. He had not lost his mind because of this, but Su Mo 'er's interference in his private life still made him feel a little uncomfortable. However, Su Mo' er was doing this for his own good, so Li Yin did not blame her. He simply asked,"What did you find?"
"Your Highness, please take a look!" Seeing that Li Yin had no intention of blaming her, Su Mo 'er handed the results of Sima Tu's investigation to Li Yin.
" The owner of Li Chun Yard is Liu Bai'e. Her husband used to be a timber merchant. In the first year of Zhenguan, the family was wiped out in the war, leaving only Liu Bai'e and Luo Xiaoyi. Li Chun Yard was built with her husband's savings. Luo Xiaoyi's family also died in the war and was later adopted by Liu Bai'e.”Su Mo 'er continued," I've already asked Sima Tu to go to Qingzhou to find out if this timber merchant had ever existed. Such a past is not convincing at all, and..."| After Li Yin saw him trying to lure the Fifth Prince, he changed his target to his guess.
Li Yin nodded. When he calmed down, he had also thought about how Luo Xiaoyi had deliberately seduced him from the beginning on the pleasure boat that day.| It was just that he had neglected it when his sperm got into his brain.
"Your Highness, take a look at this!" Su Mo 'er placed the incense stick that was only a millimeter long in Li Yin's hand.
Li Yin looked at Su Mo 'er and waited for her explanation." This was found in the pleasure boat. Although they cleaned it very well, they still missed out a little. I have asked Imperial Physician Yang in the residence to take a look. This is a kind of bewitching fragrance that can arouse the desire in one's heart.| Hope makes people lose their rationality."
Li Yin's face was ashen. He had been tricked in the end. Did Luo Xiaoyi really have a motive for approaching him?
"Send some guards to Sima Tu and have him investigate thoroughly!”Li Yin's eyes narrowed. Just as Concubine Yang had said, he was a prince, and countless people wanted to plot against him. He had to learn a lesson called power politics.
