Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 129

"Sign in to Xuanwu Gate, and you will be rewarded with the technology of 'sea salt drying', do you want to receive it?"

"Sign in to Xuanwu Gate, and reward the 'indigenous steelmaking' technology, do you want to receive it?"

Whether it was the New Year's Eve of the ninth year of Wude, or the first day of the first year of Zhenguan, Qin Xiedao would always go to the Xuanwu Gate to get some advice.

Even Chang He couldn't help but want to praise him for this professionalism.

However, thinking of Qin Xiedao often slipping away after making a point, Chang He felt unable to say his compliments.

In the end, Qin Xiedao was allowed to come and go freely.

However, although Daoist Qin Xie was not in the palace, there were quite a few topics discussed about him in the palace.

"Didn't a new edition of "Da Tang Daily" just come out yesterday? Why is there a new one today?"

In the evening, Li Shimin, who had been busy all day, had just sat down to rest when he saw Wang De handing him another newspaper.

As the most influential newspaper in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin is very clear about the distribution rules of the "Datang Daily".

"Your Majesty, I heard that "Da Tang Bao" has been revised from the first day of the first year of Zhenguan. Not only has two pages of content been added, but it has also changed from the original publication every three days to every day.

So not only will there be new newspapers today, but also new newspapers tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and a new "Da Tang Bao" will be published every day in the future. "

As Li Shimin's personal eunuch, Wang De naturally knew what Li Shimin was concerned about, so he knew the situation in advance.

It is actually not that easy to be a caring person around the leader.

"It's published every day, and you dare to increase the page? Qin Xiedao, doesn't he want to live his life?"

"Datang News" loses a share every time it is issued, and Li Shimin naturally knows about this.

Although the loss of tens of pennies in three days is not particularly large, it is not a small sum over the years.

But now Qin Xiedao has increased the amount of the loss by three or four times at once, so this amount is a bit scary.

After a month, Li Shimin felt that he would lose a thousand dollars.

Even if it was a million-dollar family fortune, it would be wiped out in less than a year.

These days, a penny of copper is quite valuable.

Qin Xiedao's tossing about was obviously beyond Li Shimin's imagination.

"Your Majesty, this maidservant also finds it very strange. I heard about the changes in the "Da Tang Daily". What's not to say is that the rhythm and layout of the publication have changed, and even the circulation has increased to [-] copies each time.

From now on, the streets and alleys will be filled with the sound of newsboys selling newspapers every morning. I don't know how long Qin Xiedao can last. "

Obviously, Wang De couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Qin Xiedao was selling in his gourd.

Although the Qin family's sugar shop and Baiyunbian shop have earned a lot of money in recent months, they still can't stand such a toss.

In particular, he also heard that Qin Xiedao specially built several houses in order to be able to eat green vegetables in winter. During the day, he opened the thatch on the roof to let the vegetables bask in the sun. A briquette stove was also fired inside.

Although this workshop is very expensive, I heard that the Cheng family and Yuchi's family have followed suit and set up greenhouse planting.

"It's too young, and it's still too hasty to do things. This "Da Tang Daily" is a good thing, it can be published every day, and everyone is sure to welcome it.

Not to mention other things, the serialization of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" alone can make everyone consume [-] newspapers.

But if you keep losing money like this, sooner or later you will not be able to operate. "

Li Shimin thought about Qin Xiedao for a rare moment.

This Qin Xiedao created the Datang Honeycomb Coal Workshop, which solved the problem of refugees outside the city at once.

At the same time, it also solved the big problem of heating and cooking for the people of Chang'an City in winter.

……

"Lin Tie, the price of the woolen thread sold by the Qinji woolen thread store has not changed?"

Inside the Cui Ji wine shop, the shopkeeper Cui anxiously asked the buddy.

As a member of the hoarders, the Cui family also participated in the purchase and hoarding of woolen threads.

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to disgust the Qin family and make some money by the way.

As a result, more than half a month has passed, and there is no progress at all.

"Treasurer Cui, he has always been selling for two cents per catty, and there is no sign of changing.

Our warehouses are so full of woolen threads now that there's no place to store them when new wine comes in, do you think we're going to consider getting rid of the woolen threads? "

Lin Tie said cautiously.

It is obviously unrealistic to want to make money from woolen thread.

But he didn't dare to rush too much.

Otherwise, when the time comes, the shopkeeper will vent his anger on himself, it will be unlucky.

"Lin Tie, you said that we went to Qinji Wool Thread Shop to discuss and give them the wool thread at the original price. Do you think this proposal is feasible?"

When shopkeeper Cui was talking, he actually had an answer in his heart.

I just want to find Lin Tie again to confirm.

"If we return the original price, it is estimated that the other party will not agree, unless we are willing to deal with it at a discount."

Although Lin Tie wanted to flatter, but there was really no way to flatter him.

"Hey, the wool thread in this warehouse is piled up there, although it is not very valuable, it is annoying to see.

No, I have to go to Qinji Wool Thread Shop and discuss it with them.

It's just a matter of apologizing to them. "

Shopkeeper Cui thought that if these woolen threads kept rotten in his hands, he would probably have more troubles later.

Instead of this, it would be better to deal with it earlier.

"I made some inquiries yesterday, and I heard that a batch of wool was shipped from Liangzhou. It is estimated that the quantity of wool thread produced by Qinji Wool Workshop will continue to increase.

According to Qin Dalang's prodigal way of running "Datang News", they probably have no plans to lower the price of this wool thread. "

Lin Tie can also be regarded as a loyal reader of "Datang Daily".

This is a newspaper operating at a loss, and this news is no secret to most people.

"This Qin Xiedao is like a shit stick, as long as he is around, everyone will have a bad life.

Is it as bad as before?Hello everyone, hello everyone. "

Shopkeeper Cui complained a little dissatisfied.

There is no way, he can be regarded as someone who has suffered at the hands of Qin Xiedao.

"Shopkeeper, I don't think the Qin family's shit-stirring stick will last long. The "Datang Daily" is losing money, and the woolen thread shop has no signs of making money. , I can't stand such a toss."

This view of Lin Tie should represent the views of many people in Chang'an City.

Many people are now waiting to see the good show in the Duke of Yi's mansion.

Seeing him rising from a tall building, seeing his banquet guests, seeing his building collapsed.
