Chapter 35 – Newspaper Forecast

"Your Majesty, the paper mill has collected a lot of newsprint, should we continue to produce it?" Su Mo'er and Su Mo'er inspected the paper mill as usual. Li Yin was very satisfied with the current progress of paper mill production. Ever since the point system was installed, the enthusiasm of the slaves had increased tremendously, and each of them had actually worked hard.

Li Yin thought for a moment, and said: “Come on, these papers seem like a lot. Once the newspaper is printed and used, you will know that the paper is not enough!”

"Newspapers, what exactly is the newspaper you are talking about, Your Majesty?" Inevitably Su Moer asked curiously when Li Yin mentioned the word newspaper many times.

Speaking of newspapers, the earliest record of a history book is "Kaiyuan Miscellaneous News" during the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It was the official newspaper of the Tang Dynasty. Officials in the capital did not spread to the general public, and they stopped printing for only a short time. Subsequent newspapers were called "Jinzuo Yuanbao", "Jiaobao", and "Other Newspapers". It belongs to the official newspaper. During the Zhenguan period, there were no newspapers in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yin was the first to eat crabs.

“This paper is for recording all sorts of events that occur in the Tang Dynasty every day, from national laws and policies, to the appointment and dismissal of officials, to, up to the interesting story of how Auntie Zhang stole a man, and so on. Changing content on a daily basis can make a layman know what is going on around them at any time, and play a role in keeping an eye on the community.” Li Yin roughly explained the function of the newspaper to Su Morer.

Su Moer came from a family of officials and was familiar with poetry and books from childhood. Li Yin's narration immediately made her understand the power of this new thing, “Isn't the way to talk between people in our hands!”

“Betul, the plight of the common people, the corruption of officials, and the opinion of the people on the policy of the imperial palace can all be recorded in the newspapers, so that the common people are no longer blind and deaf.” Li Yin could not help but fantasize about the changes the newspaper might bring to the Tang Dynasty laughing.

Su Moer looked at Li Yin with a strange light, how could he come up with such a magical idea, "Then how His Majesty plans to sell this newspaper!"

“Take a cheap bulk line, so I set up a paper factory. You think, paper is now so expensive, plus the cost of printing, ordinary people cannot afford newspapers at all. Now that paper is in our hands, it costs 100%. But it can be shortened a lot, and at that time, the newspaper will only sell for a penny, that is the price of a sip of tea, and everyone can afford to buy a newspaper at that time.” Li Yin begins to fantasize that she will become Merkel, a news tycoon, and she goes on a path:

“And when newspapers become popular, can we still charge advertising fees?”

“Ad fee?” Su Morer looked at Li Yin suspiciously.

Li Yin realized that this word was a little ahead of his time, and explained: "Let me ask, how can a merchant sell his goods to more people?"

"It screams everywhere."

“Yes, this is an advertisement. The apricot flower wine poetry competition we held last time was actually an advertisement, in order for others to know about our apricot flower wine.”

Su Moer nodded, and suddenly realized: "I understand, once our newspaper is popularized in everyone's hands, as long as we write the item information in the newspaper, others will be able to understand our stuff."

“Betul, when the time comes, all the goods from Shengtang Chamber of Commerce will be advertised, and the smell of wine will not be a problem for us if the alang is deep. Why worry about our goods not selling.”

Su Moer snatched those words, “And other traders will definitely come to our house when they see our ad. We will charge advertising fees. For us, we can earn a lot of money basically at no cost!”

Su Moer was overjoyed, thought of something, and said in a mixed tone of blame, "His Highness' confidant is Luo Xiaoyi!"

“Ah, what! Cough!" Li Yin seemed to be choking on the beans, "Well, you can have a lot of confidants!"

"Hmph, Your Majesty, Su Mo'er is thinking of you, so you should avoid dealing with that Luo Xiaoyi!" Su Mo'er thought for a moment and decided to reveal his thoughts.

Luo Xiaoyi's figure flashed across Li Yin's mind, and Li Yin said: "Why did Mo Er say that!"

Su Moer knelt in front of Li Yin, "Your Majesty, Moer ordered Sima Tu to investigate Li Chunyuan and Luo Xiaoyi without permission."

"What! Why didn't you tell me.” Li Yin said in surprise, a little displeased.

"Will His Majesty agree?" Su Mo'er looked straight into Li Min's eyes, “Your Majesty likes Mo'er's rebirth, and Mo'er is unable to reply. He swore to follow His Majesty for the rest of his life, so Mo'er wouldn't just see His Majesty in danger!

Li Yin's relationship with Luo Xiaoyi was only a relationship between lover and lover, and there was no such thing as love between you and me. He did not lose his mind due to this, but Su Morer's disturbance in his personal life still made him a little uncomfortable. It was just that Su Mo'er was doing it for his own good, so Li Yin did not blame him, and simply asked, "What did you find!"

"Please look, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Li Yin did not mean to blame him, Su Morer handed over the results of Sima Tu's investigation to Li Yin.

“Lichunyuan's owner is Liu Bai'e. Her husband was a timber merchant. In Zhenguan's first year, his family was killed in the war, leaving only Liu Bai'e and Luo Xiaoyi. This Lichunyuan was run with her husband's savings. Come to think of it, this Luo Xiaoyi family also died in the war and was then adopted by Liu Bai'e.” Su Mo'er continued, “I have asked Sima Tu to go to Qingzhou to find out if there have been such wood merchants in the past. It was not convincing at all, and.” Su Mo'er guessed that he first seduced the fifth prince into Luo Xiaoyi, and after being hit by Li Yin, he changed his target to Luo Xiaoyi.

Li Yin nodded. When he calmed down, he also thought that Luo Xiaoyi had deliberately seduced him at all costs from the start in the painting boat that day, but he was negligent to take it back then.

"Your Majesty, look at this again!" Su Mo'er placed the burning incense, which was only one millimeter long, into Li Yin's hands.

Li Yin looked at Su Mo'er and waited for his explanation, “I found him on the painting ship. Even though they cleaned it very well, they still missed a little. I asked Doctor Yang at the mansion to take a look. It's kind of an attraction. Fragrant, kissing it can arouse passion in people's hearts and make people lose their mind.”

Li Yin's face was deathly pale, she was placed in a position, did this Luo Xiaoyi really have any purpose to approach her?

"Send a few more nurses to Sima Tu, and let him investigate thoroughly!" Li Yin's eyes narrowed, just as Consort Yang had said, she was a prince, and I don't know how many people wanted to make up their minds on her, either, he had to learn I had learned a class called strength tactics.
