"Princess, he has written again." A maid walked into the study with a letter in her hand.

"Bring it to me and take a look." Chai Yu, who was reading in the study, took the letter and opened it and saw. "It's these silly words, can't he have something practical?"

Although Zhao Weiji had left Bianliang for half a year, starting from the second month after he left, he wrote a letter every ten days to tell Chai Yu about life in Daizhou.

Although this girl was a bachelor in her previous life, she couldn't help but watch too many TV series. She has never tried pork and has seen pigs run away. She can easily write some disgusting love letters, although these love letters are still too much for trying to fool a girl in the 21st century.

, but it was more than enough to fool a girl from the 10th century. Moreover, Zhao Weiji, who basically threw away his sex in order to pick up girls, would plagiarize a few poems by Nalan Rongruo, a great poet of the later graceful school, and write them in his letters.

Even though Chai Yu is a strong woman in business, her love life is completely blank. She can't stand such disgusting love words, coupled with the bombardment of Nalan's surnamed words. Now she wants to get married immediately.

But Zhao Weiji's letters are not all about trivial matters such as love and life. In his letters, he often gives Chai Yu some business advice and some things he learned from later generations.

Based on his suggestions and coupled with Chai Yu's excellent business operation capabilities, Chai Yu's industries now have the prototype of a business empire.

Her silk and satin shop is no longer a simple silk and satin shop, but has now become a clothing group that integrates the sale of silk and satin, the sale of ready-made clothes, and the customization of ready-made clothes. And with the popularity of cotton products, silk has also been affected to a certain extent.

Although the upper class still prefers silk products more, the middle and lower classes use cotton fabrics more. Moreover, cotton fabrics also have the property of warmth that silk products do not have. The winter coat market has basically been monopolized by cotton fabrics.

And Chai Yu relied on her keen business sense to acquire the industry of her original competitor when the silk business was initially affected, and successfully obtained the silk technology of the original opponent. After a period of time, the silk

After the industry basically stabilized, the original rival's owner complained that he had been deceived.

Not only did Chai Yu have a lot of experience in the clothing industry, but she also ran the tea house that Zhao Weiji entrusted to her extremely well. Now Zhengshan Tea is no longer just a tea house. Chai Yu followed Zhao Weiji's advice and

The teahouse has been developed into a chain operation model. Now there are four teahouses in Bianliang City, one each in the east, west, and south cities. And it is not just Bianliang City, many big cities in the Song Dynasty have opened branches, including: Jinling (

Nanjing), Chengdu, Hangzhou, Xiangyang, etc.

Zhao Weiji couldn't help but sigh after hearing the news. This girl was really born in the wrong era. She was able to achieve such achievements in such an era where agriculture was emphasized and business was suppressed. If she lived in an era of extremely developed commerce like the later generations, she would not know that this girl was born in the wrong era.

Will it shock the whole world?

These things are no longer all of Chai Yu's industry. Due to the continuous expansion of Chai Yu's industry, Zhao Weiji suggested that she extend her tentacles to other places. Based on the actual social situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Weiji gave Chai Yu a suggestion: start a newspaper

.

In fact, China has had something similar to a newspaper since the Western Han Dynasty: Di Bao. However, Di Bao did not publish a series of various articles such as news and people's livelihood like later newspapers. Di Bao only published various articles about the court.

Policies are similar to political information such as the emperor's decrees, edicts, or memorials from ministers. They are intended to facilitate local officials to understand the court's policies and control the direction of the trend.

But the newspaper Zhao Weiji plans to create will allow all literati and officials to publish articles in it, whether it is discussions about court policies, literati's poems, songs, or even novels. In short, as long as they are from literati and officials.

Just the article.

Zhao Weiji planned to use this newspaper to control the direction of public opinion in the entire officialdom. The reason why he dared to do this was thanks to the legacy of his cheap grandfather. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin had three legacy: First, the descendants of the Chai family are guilty, and the punishment shall not be increased.

If you go against it, you will be sentenced to death in prison, and you will not be punished or killed in the city, nor will you be allowed to live with your relatives; secondly, you will not be able to kill scholar-bureaucrats and those who write letters to express your opinions; thirdly, if your descendants have this oath, God will urgently take care of it.

Chai Yu came forward to establish a newspaper and let the literati and officials basically fill up these three items. Even if Zhao Guangyi wanted to control it, he had no excuse.

Moreover, for the convenience of newspaper printing, Zhao Weiji even used movable type printing.

With the publication of this newspaper called "Shilin Daily", the entire literati class was shocked. Zhao Weiji completely followed the newspaper rules of later generations. All selected articles submitted were paid at the rate of 50 cents per 100 words.

Remuneration was paid. Once there was a place where they could publish their opinions and earn money, those scholars who were not well off immediately began to submit articles one after another.

Not only that, Zhao Weiji asked Chai Yu to cooperate with all the major brothels in Bianliang City. Once the poems are written, the girls from these brothels will be selected and sung immediately. Moreover, once the poems are adopted by the brothels, additional royalties will be provided to the contributors.

.

Now these talented people who write lyrics are also going crazy. In this era, it is not a shame for your lyrics to be sung by girls in a brothel. Instead, it is an extremely glorious honor. The brothel in this era can be said to be a platform for cultural exchanges.

The occasion is not an exaggeration. If you are good at writing lyrics, it is common for those top girls to give you free sleep. An example is Liu Yongliu Sanbian, a generation of talented people who was born only two years ago.

"Shilin Daily" has been published for more than a month and has become a must-have publication for the literati class. If you haven't read today's newspaper, you will probably be laughed at by your literati friends today until you read the newspaper.

.If the article you write is published in a newspaper, you can show it off to your group of friends for at least three days.

Of course, Zhao Weiji and Chai Yu's series of actions were all seen by one person, and that was Zhao Guangyi.

"Have these two kids come up with anything new recently?" Zhao Guangyi, who had just finished reading today's Shilin Daily, asked Cheng An next to him.

"Recently, Princess Che's shop has started selling glass products," Cheng An replied.

It turns out that in the letter Zhao Weiji wrote to Chai Yu at the beginning of this article, in addition to a song plagiarized from Nalan's "Song Ling on the Sideburns", it also included a description of the firing method of glass. Chai Yu found someone to quickly make the glass according to the recipe.

We have made glass, although it is not the completely colorless glass of later generations. Because the iron in the fired mineral has not been completely released, the fired product is now a bit green. But it is not easy anymore.

While talking, Cheng An took a glass bottle that Chai Yu had brought as tribute and handed it to Zhao Guangyi.

After holding the bottle in his hand and playing with it, Zhao Guangyi said: "This kid Weiji is really not simple. Not only did he make so many things in Daizhou, but he also didn't let go in the capital." Zhao Guangyi knew Chai very well.

Zhao Weiji's shadow was behind the series of changes brought about by Yu. But since Chai Yu was the one taking the lead from the front, he was unable to intervene in any way.

"Is Your Majesty just watching the careers of Princess Che and Duke Anding grow step by step?" Cheng An was a little confused as to why Zhao Guangyi had not made any move yet.

"No way, the person standing at the front desk has always been Princess Che. Besides, if you look at what she produced, the newspaper is full of three of Taizu's wills. I don't know how they learned about this Taizu.

As taught by our ancestors. Let’s look at other things, including the cotton industry, tea, and the royal family’s share of dividends. This glass has just been made, and people are already thinking of paying a tribute to the palace first. Cannibals are short-tongued. More

What’s more, people don’t pay a penny less in taxes. During this period, ministers have written letters requesting to commend Princess Che to set an example for businessmen to see.”

In fact, the biggest reason why Zhao Guangyi has not suppressed the industries of Chai Yu and Zhao Weiji is because these two people were very smart and did not touch Zhao Guangyi's bottom line. All business interests were not involved in the slightest with the ministers of the DPRK and China. The only one who was involved was

Instead, it was Zhao Guangyi's own inner chamber. So Zhao Guangyi was relatively relieved about this.

Some ministers in the DPRK here were jealous of the benefits brought by Chai Yu's industries. However, Chai Yu rejected everyone who wanted a piece of the pie. Even if they were rejected, these officials could not find any way to proceed.

Revenge. First of all, they are descendants of the Chai family. Secondly, they control "Shilin Daily" and have many literary writers. Just publish some articles questioning you and it will make you drink. Furthermore, there is a person behind this industry.

The emperor is a shareholder. If you want to die, just try to take revenge.

…

"Madam, this is the sales situation of Liuli in the market for ten days after it was produced."

"I told you not to call me madam yet. I haven't married your Duke yet, Yunxiang."

Now Yunxiang has basically become Chai Yu's personal secretary, helping Chai Yu organize information on all his industries. And Li Jiguang's sister Xiaohua is even more amazing.

Chai Yu discovered that Xiao Hua has a natural talent for clothes, whether it is color matching or style design, she has an extraordinary level. So now Xiao Hua has basically become the chief designer of Chai Yu's ready-made clothing. Now she

Instead of calling her Xiaohua, Chai Yu named her Li Nian.

…

"Everyone has also seen the series of changes that have taken place in Zhao Song recently."

There was a large group of people in the palace of Han Derang, the military commander of the Liao Xing Army in Nanjing, who was reading the intelligence sent back from the Song Dynasty by the Liao Empire. The person who just asked the question was Han Derang, the most powerful Han official in the Liao Empire.

While everyone was still analyzing the intelligence, someone spoke: "I believe that all these changes point to one person, and that is Song Anding County Duke Zhao Weiji. I suggest that Xizuo conduct further investigation on this person.

"

"Well, that makes sense. I'll leave this matter to you, Yelu Mo. Don't disappoint me," Han Derang said.

"Yes, I will definitely live up to the general's trust."

Just when Zhao Weiji was getting more and more successful in the Song Dynasty, his name was completely targeted by the Liao Kingdom.
