Chapter 42 – Cheating Li Shimin
After Sizi and Li Zhi distributed Li Yin haw sweets to their brothers and sisters, Li Yin's name became more famous in the palace. Shampoos and perfumes previously made the impression of concubines about her greatly changed. My sister also admired him for creating such a delicious thing.
People who plagiarize the achievements of the next generation do not realize it. He drank tea at the Ministry of Industry and boasted all morning, and skipped work in the afternoon to go to Xiaoshanao.
Turning around the workshop and checking the newspaper reserves, Li Yin felt that newspaper production could begin now.
“Let's have a job fair!” In the office, Li Yin said to Su Mo'er. The printing job required someone to type it, and this could not be done by the slaves in the workshop, only those who could read. Only humans can do this job.
Su More'er had been looking forward to this day for a long time. He had been waiting to see what effect the newspaper could have on Chang'an. Regarding the verb job market, Li Yin also explained to him that it meant recruiting people to work.
Li Yin gave the order, and Su Morer immediately acted, writing the notice and installing it in places frequented by the literati.
“Shengtang Commercial Day is open for talents and talents. There is one editor-in-chief, five editors in-charge, and ten reporters. His salary is generous. They work four hours a day, including meals and shelter. Specific monthly salary interviewed ... "
Qujiang, a Chinese-clothed man shook his paper fan and read the contents of the notice, shaking his head in a very funny way. This was a notice written by Su Morer. There is a job position on it, and an explanation is attached to the position. After all, they did not understand these trendy words.
“...Liang Wang property, quality guarantee!” Young Master Brother finished the last sentence.
“What does this mean? How can we associate scholars with the smell of copper? That was really insulting!” A young man in a beggar uniform shouted out loud, with an excited look.
“Come, Brother Wang, scholars should also eat. It is said above that there is nothing to be ashamed of if you work hard and get paid. I think it's good. You can write articles and get paid!”
“Vulgarity cannot be tolerated. Mencius said that poverty and humility cannot be moved, and wealth and honor.”.
"Pedantic, who says scholars can't make money!"
"..."
In addition to the notice, the literati began a debate with each other. In an era where everything is inferior but reading is high, such debates are also normal. This writer did not listen to the outside world, and only read the books of the wise men and wise men. Even when Li Bai was poor later on, he did not think about how to make money properly.
The interview location for the job market is at the Prince Liang House. Li Yin and Su Morer were the interviewers, but Li Yin and Su Morer still underestimated the feudal thinking of the scholars, and no one came after waiting for two days.
"What the hell is going on?" Li Yin was stunned.
Su Morer smiled wryly: “These scholars are all thinking of gaining fame, and they are all focused on studying. There are some who are willing to spend time on this. Even if they agree, their families will not agree.”
Li Yin paced back and forth, the person who could not read and write could not continue to work, had to find a way, "Li Shimin!" Suddenly, Li Yin thought of the emperor's father, if his newspaper was officially recognized, and Then he played a ruse, saying that this newspaper was mainly reserved for court officials to read, and he does not believe that scholars who only think about getting into court can still sit still.
Thinking of this, Li Yin immediately left for Tai Chi Palace.
"Your Majesty, the emperor is talking to the empress in the imperial garden!" Last time, he stuffed the glowing pearls into Wang Gui, and the attitude of the Huangmen servant greatly changed from his previous business-like attitude.
“Then please interrupt Wang Shilang to report it!”
“Thank you Wang Shilang!” Li Yin cupped her hands.
In the imperial garden, Li Shimin was walking around with the empress' eldest granddaughter when Li Yin walked in and said, "I'll meet my father and mother!"
“Excuse me, Wang Shilang said that you have something important to report. Could there be difficulties in the underground pipeline?” Li Shimin asked.
"Reporting to the emperor is not a matter of channels, but of ministers due to another matter!"
"Oh? What's up!"
Li Yin sorted out her words, and said, “My son will make something called newspaper!”
"Corporation?" Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sat hand in hand in the gazebo, and Li Yin followed behind.
“Yes, this kind of newspaper is somewhat similar to a memorial, but the memorial is for the emperor, and this newspaper is for the people of the world. The newspaper also records the world's major events and daily news, so that every Tang resident can understand What's happening in Came!”
Li Yin's words aroused Li Shimin's interest, and he said: "Please explain in more detail!"
Li Yin cleared her throat, and began to tell the newspaper the benefits to the Tang Dynasty. He spoke for over half an hour, and Li Shimin became even more excited as he listened, and Empress Changsun often nodded.
“This is a good public opinion surveillance, and a good way to spread the word. Once this kind of newspaper is established, doesn't that mean I can publish my policies and laws to every citizen of the Tang Dynasty? And the plight of the people of the Tang Dynasty can be avenged to me alone. In your hands, Min'er, you really have done wonders for Tang!” Li Shimin stood up and patted Li Min on the shoulder excitedly.
Li Shimin approved of the newspaper, and Li Yin revealed her true purpose: "Dad, the newspaper was indeed beneficial to the Tang Dynasty without any harm, but ..." Li Yin bought it first.
"What only? If you're having trouble, tell your dad, It's a good thing to Come, and your dad will definitely support you!”
“I want my father to issue an imperial order, and give an official order to Shengtang Business Daily!”
Li Yin's words touched Li Shimin's heart, she understood the newspaper's ability to influence the conversation, of course she understood that such things should be in her own hands, she said, but after all Li Yin was his son, and he could not just take it directly. .
Li Yin planned for Li Shimin at the same time, not expecting Li Shimin to also plot against him, Li Shimin said: “Because you insist on this, Li Shimin said, then I will issue an imperial order to the people, stating that this newspaper must pass. My review before it is published, how?”
Li Yin was almost crazy from excitement. Li Shimin reviewed the newspaper in person, which would bring huge profit potential to Shengtang Business Daily.
“My son, thank you, Dad!” Once something like a newspaper is produced, sooner or later it will be intervened by the court. Rather than being intervened by other officials, it was better to go directly through Li Shimin. After all, Li Shimin was also Li Yin's real father, so he wouldn't be so underhanded.
Li Yin left Taiji Palace satisfied, and Li Shimin was also overjoyed. In the imperial garden, Empress Changsun said: “Min'er is not the brat as it once was. It was time for the emperor to let go of his prejudice against him.”
Li Shimin pondered and said: “I have also seen the changes in the past few months. I didn't say anything, but I still understood it in my heart. Otherwise, I would not have let him become a member of the Ministry of Industry, just to try it, but the Today newspaper made me admire him even more.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, “The same goes for my concubine!”
