Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 113: Taking Liu Li and Building a Newspaper Company

A note was delivered to the Prince's Residence and appeared in Su Chen's hands.

There were only two sentences on the note.

"Did you do what happened to Liu Li?"

"Du Chuke is in collusion with the King of Wei, and I'm afraid there will be new moves."

Su Chen smiled and tore up the note. There was no doubt that it was sent by Cen Wenben.

It also indirectly proves that in today's court, Chu Suiliang attacked Liu Li. Otherwise, Cen Wenben would not have such doubts.

As for the conspiracy between Du Chuke and King Wei, it is intriguing that Cen Wenben had no specific inside information.

perhaps.

Cen Wenben’s aura is too upright. Li Tai and Du Chuke don’t want him to get involved. Do they know too much?
Su Chen knocked his palms. He heard that Liu Li had stayed indoors after retiring from court today.

If King Wei wants to help him overcome this difficulty, he has to solve the problem of Liu Zengshou.

If Liu Li is mine, then...

Liu Zengshou should just shut up.

The prince is still in Suzhou, guarded by the General Wuwei. Besides, if Li Er wants to get to the bottom of this matter, he will definitely arrange people to rush to Suzhou. We can't do anything too extreme.

Is it a threat?
"Faced with the King of Wei's warning, no matter how hot-tempered Liu Zengshou is, he will be as helpless as he was before facing Wang Ren, right?"

After pondering for a while, Su Chen smiled, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a letter, "Come here."

"Sir?"

Sun Qiang strode in.

"Order Wang Xuance to send someone to deliver this letter to Jin Yong as quickly as possible."

"Yes."

Sun Qiang nodded and left.

Subsequently.

Su Chen opened the drawer, took out a list, looked at the word Liu Li on it, and casually drew an x!

"Son..."

Su Wang's voice came from outside.

Su Chen looked up and saw Su Wang walking in with a smile on his face, "The matter of Gongzi Bookstore has been resolved."

Su Chen had an idea about the bookstore when he dealt with the Cui family of Boling.

However, due to a sudden flood in Suzhou, it had to be postponed.

Now that I'm back in Chang'an City, I have to speed up the work at the bookshop, otherwise, wouldn't all the engravings and carved plates be wasted?

"I found a shop in the West Market. Previously, it was engaged in printing poetry collections. Now we have paid for it in full. Do you want to send those engraved characters over to try it out?"

"The sooner the better."

Su Chen smiled and nodded.

The bookshop project must be launched, and it must be done before Boling Cui's half-year deadline. Only in this way can we become the strongest help when Boling Cui shows his results.

"So, what should we print?"

Su Chen had already made a plan for Su Wang's problem.

Opening the drawer on the left, Su Chen took out the prepared plan and threw it to Su Wang.

"press?"

After Su Wang looked at it, he was confused.

Su Chen smiled and nodded, "Public opinion can sometimes be a murderous sword!"

Su Wang was thoughtful.

"Go back and take a close look at this plan, and you will know how the newspaper operates."

"Yes."

Su Wang nodded, "If you have nothing else to do, I will go back and study this first."

"Not urgent."

Su Chen waved his hand, "Is there any news from Sichuan and Hedong?"

Su Wang immediately said, "Master Su Bing of Hedong has a very good business, and he has sent some money these days. As for Sichuan, I don't know the specific situation because it's too far away."

"However, in recent days, there have been some merchants from Sichuan who came here because of its reputation. They have given very good comments on sulfur soap and medicinal soap, and have purchased some sulfur soap and medicinal soap one after another."

Su Chen pondered. It seemed that Li Ke was quite dedicated in promoting the soap.

otherwise.

How could those merchants from Sichuan and Shu come here to smell the fragrance? "Go, and call Xue Li by the way."

……

After sending the engraving to the bookshop, Su Wang gave a few instructions and returned to the shop. He took out the plan and read it carefully.

It is easy to say that we need to create a newspaper, but it is not difficult to do it in practice.

Just publish articles and opinions based on current events, or some talented scholar writes a poem...

"It doesn't seem that difficult..."

“It seems easy, but it’s actually not easy at all.”

Su Wang looked up and saw Xu Qizhuang standing in front of him drinking tea and looking at the plan in his hand with curiosity.

The words just now came from his mouth.

"not simple?"

"Yes."

Xu Qizhuang nodded. "My eldest brother has run a similar bookstore before, but this kind of store requires strong connections and fame."

"Why?"

"Boss, think about it, what is the most important thing for a book club? Of course it's reputation!"

Xu Qizhuang said solemnly: "If there are one or two talented scholars or famous scholars in a book club, it will naturally attract countless scholars to come together."

Su Wang nodded after thinking for a moment, "Go on."

Xu Qizhuang: "There are talented people who can provide gorgeous poems and great scholars who can provide annotations to articles. This is particularly important for many people who seek to learn."

"Moreover, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Once a talented person publishes a poem on it, it will naturally attract others to follow suit and even compete with him."

Literati look down on each other...

Su Wang kept nodding his head, having a lot of ideas.

"anything else?"

"Also..."

Xu Qizhuang pointed at the plan and said, "I don't quite understand why you want to write about some current events. Are you trying to open up the channels for public opinion?"

It doesn’t matter whether the newspaper is popular or not. What’s important is to make this newspaper popular in Chang’an City!

Su Wang looked at Xu Qizhuang with more and more admiration. Although he was young, he had a quick mind.

"Are you interested in trying it?"

"what?"

Xu Qizhuang was stunned, then shook his head repeatedly, "Stop it, boss, this requires extremely strong connections."

"A talented scholar, a great scholar, you can't invite him without connections!"

"Moreover."

"If things go wrong, the poems and articles of the talented scholars will be criticized by others. I don't know whether the store will be opened or not, but it will definitely offend people."

Seeing that Xu Qizhuang spoke so clearly, Su Wang became more and more convinced that he had come into contact with these things before.

He has the foundation and ability and is a good helper.

"From now on, you will follow me and be in charge of newspaper matters."

"what?"

Xu Qizhuang had a face full of question marks.

Knowing that you will lose money or even offend others, you still want to continue doing it?

Too much money to spend?

"No, shopkeeper..."

"Ok, deal."

Su Wang patted Xu Qizhuang on the shoulder and interrupted him, "We have plenty of talented and romantic men, but as for great scholars..."

“There is no shortage of that either!”

Ok?
No wonder people say Wenxianglai is the prince’s property.

Having a backer means you can be more confident!

Xu Qizhuang: "If there is a loss, it has nothing to do with me."

Su Wang: “It’s just a small matter!”

"Come on, tell me in detail what you think about this matter and where is the best place to start..."
