Chapter 145: Open Privileges
"We have to hurry up on cement, and a lot of iron ore has been mined. You guys have to hurry up and put steelmaking on the agenda!"
Ying Zheng walked back and forth in the wine shop with his hands behind his back.
"Father, I only have one head and one pair of hands. Besides, I just came back yesterday. You have to give me some time and take your time!"
Little Shota pouted her little mouth and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Anyway, hurry up, kid!"
Ever since he saw the Three Thousand Flying Eagles going into battle with alloy sabers, Ying Zheng had been thinking about this matter.
Compared with cement, he actually yearns for the fine steel this boy talks about!
"knew!"
Xiao Zhengtai responded impatiently, and then led everyone towards the paper mill.
The expanded paper mill is adjacent to the previous one, but the ones built later are all made of cement!
"Your Majesty, young master, in front is the movable type printing workshop...!"
Huang Yuan introduced the two of them, "During the time when the young master was away, the printing technology has been tested, and the printing is fast and accurate. In the future, we no longer need to ask the gentleman to write on it word by word. It is better than before."
I don’t know how much faster the efficiency is!”
"How are sales?"
Xiao Zhengtai asked.
"Exceptionally hot...!"
Huang Yuan looked happy, "The price of the young master is not high, it is only a little higher than the price of paper. Even ordinary families can afford it, let alone those wealthy families!"
"Has there ever been a monopoly of honorable men?"
"In the beginning, there were indeed nobles who wanted to monopolize it, but they found that even if they bought it back, they would only be able to keep it in their hands, because the paper mill only printed one kind of book every day, and printed more than a hundred books every day, and they didn't even buy it.
use!"
"Yes, Not Bad!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded with satisfaction.
Huang Yuan has always been reliable in his work. Under his leadership, he already knows how to prevent nobles from monopolizing the situation!
"What's going on over there?"
While walking, Ying Zheng suddenly found a large empty house next to the paper mill and asked suspiciously.
"I want to open a newspaper office there!"
"Newspaper office?"
Ying Zheng doesn't know why.
"A newspaper is just like a book. Pre-compiled manuscripts are typeset, printed, and printed on paper...!"
Xiao Zhengtai introduced it simply, "The only difference is that books write about the same things, while newspapers print the news of the day!"
"For example, the details of the battle in Lingnan this time, the harvest of potatoes and corn, the time to popularize high-yielding crops, how to increase yields and some daily medicine tips!"
"You can also publish the good and bad deeds of some ministers in the DPRK and China, promote His Majesty's great policies, etc..."
"Oh? You can also write me in it?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes were brighter than before.
Which emperor doesn't want to record his great achievements?
The reason why you want to be written into the history books is not to let more people see your contribution?
Now he can write down his own affairs without relying on history books and let the people look up to them. Naturally, he is very happy!
"Of course, my father is the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. What you do must be written in the newspaper. Every day, I will open a column for you to record what you have done!"
"Okay! Haha...!"
Ying Zheng didn't even think twice and Le Dian Dian agreed.
"But...!"
Koshota looked like he was thinking.
"But what?"
Ying Zheng hurriedly asked, fearing that he would not be published in the newspaper or that the lion would open his mouth.
"However, if I want to truly record the deeds of various ministers, my father will need to issue a special order to allow newspaper reporters to enter the Yamen and other places at any time!"
Xiao Zhengtai rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
"This is easy to say, I will give the order later!"
Ying Zheng agreed immediately.
"Thank you, Father!"
The young lady bowed her hands and thanked them, then led everyone around twice more, told Yu Wenxuan to recruit reporters, and then returned to the palace with Ying Zheng.
About three days later, Wang Li and Huang Yuan went to the palace to look for the young lady. They said that they had gone through the preliminary selection and recruited some talented people, and asked the young lady to go and select them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Zhengtai also handed the drawings with detailed steps of steelmaking to Huang Yuan and asked him to take someone to do it!
On the way, Xiao Zhengtai quietly walked up to Wang Li, raised his eyebrows, and said with a wicked smile: "How is the thing I asked you to do?"
"Don't worry, young master. I know my sister best. If you invite her to go, she may not go, but I will use the provoking method!"
Wang Li was full of confidence and gave him an OK gesture.
I learned this all from Xiao Zhengtai.
On the battlefield, in order not to be discovered by the enemy, Xiao Shota taught them many gestures, which are very convenient to use, including this OK!
"Thanks……!"
Xiao Zhengtai patted Wang Li on the shoulder seriously, "I'll bring you two bottles of Wuliangye later!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Li's eyes immediately lit up, "Thank you so much, young master!"
The night he just returned to the city, the reason why he deliberately said that Yu Ji was hanging out with Xiao Zhengtai was to stimulate the younger sister's fighting spirit and complete the task assigned to him by the young master!
Let Wan'er be a reporter!
It would be best to become a war correspondent!
According to what the young master said, one can go out with the army and receive rewards. Isn't this my sister's dream?
Da Qin does not allow women to go to the battlefield, so become a war reporter and report the most cutting-edge military news. It is cooler than going to war!
Although this method was a bit shady, he didn't force the girl to be a reporter. He heard that Yu Ji was with the young master and took the initiative to ask him about the method!
He was just trying to find a way for her. Even if that little girl found out about it in the future, he would still have to thank himself for not being able to protect her!
Along the way, Huang Yuan stared at the drawings intently, and asked the young lady from time to time. Finally, he finally understood the drawings and put them in his arms like a treasure!
"Xu..."
After a while, the groom tightened the reins, Huang Yuan opened the curtain for the young lady, and let the young lady jump out of the carriage first, followed by the two.
The originally empty newspaper office was now packed with people.
Of course, Wang Wan is not on the list. He is a reporter directly designated by Xiao Zhengtai, and there is no need for selection at all!
When the newspaper officially opens, just come and report!
There is a gilt plaque above the newspaper office, with the two characters "newspaper office" written in flying dragons and phoenixes, which is particularly dazzling!
Huang Yuan and others are relatively familiar with Xiao Zhengtai, so it seems that it was made by the young master.
No one else can write such magnificent characters!
"What do you think...what does this newspaper do?"
"Who knows, anyway, the salary is high, and we are well-educated in poetry and books, so being a reporter is not a good idea!"
"I don't know how many people the young master will leave behind!"
"I heard that I will see the young master later, and he will come up with the questions himself!"
"I have been living in poverty for ten years and have eaten more ink than rice. No matter how hard the young master takes the exam, there will be no problem!"
