The First Family of Tang Dynasty

"Guanyin maid, for your husband, I heard that you went to visit your mother-in-law. How is your mother-in-law's situation today?"

Seeing his wife walk into the Ganlu Temple briskly, Li Shimin stood up and laughed.

Empress Changsun nodded rather dumbfoundingly, thinking of the scene of the little **** catching someone before, she couldn't help gnashing her teeth.

"It's much better, Cheng Saburo, although he has a mouth that can't speak, but his medical skills are indeed wonderful."

Seeing the itchy teeth of Guanyin's maidservant, Li Shimin couldn't help but become curious. "Why, did that kid mess with you again?"

"Hey... Don't mention him, husband, I just went to see my mother, and I was there when I met Qingque."

"Oh? This kid is quite filial." Li Shimin said with a pleased smile on his face.

Seeing her husband's expression, Empress Changsun thought for a while and smiled indifferently. I just hope that what Qingque tells is the truth...

Wei Wang Li Tai took Zheng Shilang's hand and walked into the room, his face full of joy and authenticity.

"Shi Lang Zheng sit down, this king is worrying about this printing shop, Shi Lang Zheng, you are really the king's timely rain."

"His Royal Highness is polite. The Changsun Department of Officials notified the next official, and then the next official knew. His Royal Highness also thought of creating a publication similar to the "Chang'an Xunbao"."

"This ambition is really admired by the next official. It happens that the next official has a seat that can be regarded as a large-scale printing house, and there are many skilled craftsmen..."

Wei Wang Li Tai raised his hand to signal Zheng Shilang. "Come, come and taste this lard pastry. This is the most delicious thing for tea."

"That's great, this king has compiled a lot of wonderful articles and poems from many scholars in the Tang Dynasty."

The atmosphere of the discussion between Wei Wang Litai and Zheng Shilang was very enthusiastic, and finally the two reached an intention.

That is, Wei Wang Li Tai was responsible for bringing articles and poems to the Zheng family's printing house for printing. The Zheng family's printing house was only responsible for plate making and printing.

The publication of the publications was naturally the responsibility of Wei Wang and Li Tai himself. Of course, the expenses were naturally paid by the Wei Wangfu.

As a prince, and the prince favored by His Majesty the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, Li Tai is not only fat and fat, but also fat and wealthy.

Very proudly waved his hand. "A few things of Adu, just let the people below talk about it. All this king wants is the result."

Seeing that Wei Wang Li Tai was like this, Zheng Shilang couldn't speak straight, he could only smile and nodded.

"Yes, with your Royal Highness's financial resources, naturally you don't have to care about the cost of that periodical of two to three thousand dollars."

"How much do you say?" Wei Wang Li Tai almost choked on his saliva, staring at Shi Lang in front of him with a dull expression.

"His Royal Highness, after the official department of Changsun came to look for the next official, the next official has already inquired about the shopkeeper of the printing workshop.

One copy, the cost will be about forty dollars..."

Hearing Zheng Shilang's cautious explanation there, Wei Wang Litai's face grew darker and darker.

"According to you, that Cheng Chubi smashed two to three thousand shots in one go?"

Isn't that kid not even getting his salary? By the way, the father and the prince have rewarded him a lot of money.

He distributed the first issue free of charge, which was equivalent to spreading out two thousand four hundred pens. Then the next issue of the newspaper, even if he sold forty essays at cost.

How many people are really willing to buy? Even the wealthy people in Chang'an City are countless. But who would be happy to spend forty cents to read a few newspapers?

One issue is forty essays, but one hundred and twenty essays in a month. If you save it for a few months, I’m afraid it’s enough to buy a book.

Seeing the rich and rich Wei Wang Li Tai remained silent for a long time, Shi Lang thought for a while before he said.

"His Royal Highness, the next official can guarantee that this is definitely a cost price. After all, the price of tribute paper is there, there is really no way to lower it..."

Although Wei Wang Li Tai was unwilling to care about A Du's things, once the number of A Du's things was too large, even King Wei hesitated.

However, when he thought that Cheng Chubi had dared to do this before, he would follow him, and he was also a prince who was only famous in Chang'an.

"Then... I will print 60,000 copies first, and we will also distribute them for free."

After discussing with Zheng Shilang, Wei Wang Litai finally decided on the name of this newspaper: Chang'an Collected Works.

After all, Wei Wang and Li Tai felt that the grades and styles of the two characters at the end of "Long Character Xunbao" were too low, and he wanted to engage in literature.

Therefore, it was decided to name it after "Chang'an Collection" in order to conform to the aesthetics of scholars.

However, after Wei Wang Litai handed over the "Chang'an Collected Works" to Zheng's Printing House, he received a message.

There are rumors that the second issue of "Chang'an Xunbao" will be issued in a few days, and the price will be five articles...

Upon receiving this news, Wei Wang and Li Tai almost wanted to be violent.

"Five cents, what can five cents do, you can only buy a bucket of rice, he actually sells such a low price, is he crazy?"

"Sixty thousand copies, even if he sells all of them, he will only have three hundred. What does he want to do..."

The housekeeper, Grandpa Li, saw Wei Wang Li Tai, who was snarling angrily. He didn't dare to speak until he vented and sat down panting.

"His Royal Highness, is it possible that someone leaked out the news that your Highness is planning to run "Changan Collected Works"~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Therefore, Cheng Chubi wanted to use this method to compete with Your Highness..."

#####

Wei Wang Li Tai couldn't help but stunned when he heard this. He raised his eyes and looked at Father Li, walking sullenly in the house. After a while, he smiled gloomily.

"Okay, he Cheng Chubi wants to fight this king, right? Then make good gestures with him."

"This king doesn't believe it. How many family backgrounds do they have in the old Cheng family, can they be more generous than this king?"

"The first issue will be distributed free of charge, and the second issue... will also receive five pennies."

Hearing Wei Wang Li Tai's instructions, what else the housekeeper Li Gonggong could say, he could only bow his head.

But when I thought of this, I was afraid that in a month, the Wei Palace would have to smash in six or seven thousand Guans, and in one year... Tens of thousands would be gone.

"Oh...Cheng Chubi, why do you bother with my Royal Highness?" Li Gonggong, the housekeeper, stood outside the house with a melancholy expression on his face.

Forget it, anyway, His Royal Highness is in anger now, saying nothing will work, the only thing I expect now is.

Let's see if we can fight Cheng Chubi in a short period of time, and see if we can't...

At that time, I would advise His Highness not to follow Cheng Chubi's general knowledge.

After all, Prince Wei’s family has a big business, and it’s okay to spend thousands of times with Cheng Chubi. No matter how much, it will easily stretch the expenditure of the government.

At the moment when Wei Wang was worried about "Chang'an Collected Works", Chang'an's imperial examination finally ended.

The four candidates recommended by Cheng Chubi also slowly left the examination room...
