(Thank you for supporting the moon, thank you!) ）

While speaking, he had already arrived in front of a restaurant called Drunken Xianju, and immediately a few shopkeepers came out and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Cui Yunqing and his entourage are all high-headed horses, plus luxury carriages, plus many guards, with a team of more than 100 people. The shopkeeper, who was accustomed to seeing the world, also knew that this was a big customer, and immediately a young waitress came out to invite the family members in the carriage to the private room upstairs, and invited a group of family servants into the downstairs for dinner.

Cui Yunqing, Song Wen and other generals went straight to the third floor together, and directly chose the position of the window to sit by the window.

Sitting by the window, while tasting Dengzhou wine, while watching the people coming and going on the street, it is also a unique style. A few people were talking about arriving in Dengzhou and settling down their families, and then they were going directly to Yingzhou. Cui Yunqing is now the deputy chief protector of the Andong Dadu Protectorate appointed by the imperial court, and he is from the third rank.

After Li Jing conquered the Liaodong Peninsula and Liaoxi, the Protectorate of Andong had become a powerful feudal town in the blink of an eye. When Li Jing took over as the protector of Dongda, he was just an idle position from the second grade. But now, Andong has the territory of eleven states under the Metropolitan Protectorate. All of a sudden, it's hot. The imperial court has begun to want to intervene in it, but Li Jing is now prestigious, and he does not dare to intervene for a while. Later, the imperial court transferred Cui Yunqing from Jiangxi to Andong from Jiangxi to the Zhennan Military Festival, although Cui Yunqing was Li Jing's teacher, but the imperial court also vacated the position of the Zhennan Army Marshal at once. At the same time, officials began to be sent to Anton. With the first, there will soon be a second.

Under the protection of Anton, there is a pair of major protections and two protections. Cui Yunqing was transferred from the commander of the Zhennan Army to the deputy capital protector of Anton. On the surface, it can be regarded as a flat adjustment or even a promotion. But from a town marshal to a deputy capital protector. But it was darkened. However, Cui Yunqing was willing to accept this position and come back to Li Jing as a deputy.

And Song Wen and other generals, who came this time, also saw that Li Jing's strength was getting stronger, and they were ready to find a solid backer and make contributions in the Northeast.

I was talking about wine, but I heard someone reading something in a low voice. The two listened to each other, but they were not storytellers. And someone was reading something article, Lu Huiqing became curious, so he ordered his family to remove the screen, only to see an old man in a Confucian robe in his fifties, holding a piece of paper full of words in his hand, sitting at a small table, shaking his head and reading: "The new restoration of Liaoxi, the Protectorate of Andong Dadu decided to recruit immigrants to Liaoxi, and all the people who are willing to emigrate to Liaoxi will be divided into fields according to 100 acres of land per ding." Half for women. Men and women who have not yet reached maturity can get 20 acres of land each."

A group of guests ate by themselves, talking and laughing softly. I've long been accustomed to it and turned a blind eye. Others listened and pondered, while others whispered to each other.

A few businessmen who were obviously also foreign merchants asked loudly: "Hey, what do you mean by what you just said, you can divide a hundred acres of land by yourself when you go to Liaoxi, there is really such a good thing, explain it to us in detail."

The old man who was reading answered and began to explain in detail, "Not only in Liaoxi, but also in Liaodong now. Whoever goes, most of the capital guards divide the land according to the person, and at the same time, the government also helps to build houses, as well as provide seeds, rent cattle and horses, etc. For the first year, all taxes and grain are exempted, and the rent can be owed for three years without interest."

Cui Yunqing and Song Wen looked at each other, but they didn't expect Li Jing to be so big in Liaoxi and Liaodong, dividing the fields and land, providing seeds for free, and renting oxen and horses, and exempting taxes for one year. With such a good thing, there will definitely be many people in the Central Plains who are willing to go to Liaodong and Liaoxi.

However, he was a little strange about the person who was reading.

Song Wen called Xiao Er and asked, "Is this old man hired by the restaurant?" ”

Xiao Er replied with a smile on his face: "This person is a newspaper reader, not only in various restaurants, but also in teahouses, green buildings, and restaurants." ”

"Newspaper readers?" Cui Yunqing stroked her beard and nodded thoughtfully. Although he has been away from Dengzhou for several years, he has also heard of a newspaper called a newspaper in Dengzhou recently, which is said to contain all kinds of important news and events, and even publishes poetry articles, scripture commentaries, etc., which is very popular.

When Song Wen saw the appearance of the little two, he knew that he wanted benefits, so he directly took a silver coin and threw it over. This silver coin is equivalent to a hundred yuan, and it was exchanged when he was in Qizhou. One hundred dollars are in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, that is, the money of one pound of rice. However, after entering the control area of the Zhenguo Army, this money is much more valuable, and one hundred yuan is enough to buy twenty catties of rice.

When Xiao Er saw such a bold reward, his eyes lit up, and he put the silver coins in his pocket with a smile. Seeing that the guests were bold and generous, and the momentum was extraordinary, he didn't dare to be contemptuous at the moment, and hurriedly said: "The big official looks like he has just come from other places, and this newspaper reader is the person who reads the newspaper to the guests." There are restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, and green houses, and they are generally paid for by the restaurant. Now the customers love this, and if they don't have this, the business will definitely be much worse. Most of these are old masters, who specialize in reading newspapers to people in restaurants and teahouses. If the guests don't understand, they explain it in detail. When the guests were happy to hear this, they would also reward them with a few dollars, and they would say that these people had a high income, more than the common storyteller and singer. Speaking of this, Xiao Er's face was full of envy, and it was obvious that the newspaper reader's income was much higher than his salary.

Cui Decheng listened a little incomprehensibly, "Newspaper? What is it? ”

Cui Yunqing shook her head and sighed, "You usually pay more attention to the things around you, don't just care about wine and wealth all day long." After teaching Cui Decheng a lesson, he asked Xiao Erdao: "With these newspaper readers, isn't there less people to buy the newspaper?" ”

Xiao Er said with a smile: "Where will it be, Dengzhou has the most scholars and officials." There is a lot of money, which one does not subscribe to a newspaper, in Dengzhou, subscribing to a newspaper is a decent person's performance. There are also various yamen, schools, workshops, hospitals, etc. in Dengzhou, all of which are directly subscribed. I heard that our daily newspaper can sell tens of thousands of copies every day, and last time the king of the county led the army to break the Khitan and recover western Liaoning, 100,000 copies of the newspaper were printed on the same day, and the result was that it was reprinted again and again, and the printing house of the newspaper bureau was too busy. I also asked several other printing houses to help. It is said that 200,000 copies of the newspaper were sold. Oh my God. We only have a million people in Dengzhou. actually sold 200,000 copies, you can imagine how popular it must be. That day, my dad and his neighbors almost bought one by themselves. You say that they are illiterate, and they spend five pennies to buy a newspaper, and they don't know each other, and they hide them like treasures, and they use them from time to time to show off. ”

"In our restaurant, many people who listen to the newspaper also subscribe to the newspaper themselves. It's just that I don't have time to read, or I don't know the words at all, and I can't read them myself, so I have to come here to listen and play. You don't know what to do, read the newspaper and listen to the newspaper, this is a very decent thing. I heard that the landlords in the countryside outside Dengzhou City subscribe to newspapers and several copies at a time. ”

Cui Yunqing nodded, no matter what, just look at the details that can sell tens of thousands of newspapers every day. Today's Dengzhou is indeed completely different from the Dengzhou he was in charge of. Under the atmosphere of martial artists in various places today, literati are taken lightly. Dengzhou actually has such a literary style, which is indeed a very gratifying thing for him.

Cui Decheng saw that everyone said this newspaper so magically, so he opened the money bag and directly took out a gold coin and stuffed it to the little er. said with a smile: "Please help me buy a few newspapers in the past few days, buy a few more, and the rest will be considered as a reward for you." ”

One gold coin is ten silver coins, that is, a thousand coins. This can be regarded as a small fortune in today's Dengzhou, almost half a month's salary for a small second. Xiao Er nodded again and again, and retreated with a smile. I went downstairs and went straight to the post office, holding the gold coin on the road, while still thinking, I met a local tyrant again.

After reading the newspaper in the restaurant for a long time, Cui Yunqing, Song Wen and others found that although they had just arrived in Dengzhou, they already had a more detailed understanding of the situation in the sixteen states under the Zhenguo Army. In newspapers and weekly magazines, there is almost any information. From Li Jing's preparations for war in Liaodong, road construction, city building, immigration and other major events, to school recruitment, army recruitment, and even advertisements by various businesses, housing rentals, and other such things, there are such things in the newspapers. Even today's newspaper also wrote about Cui Yunqing's upcoming appointment in Dengzhou, and for this reason, there were several articles about some of his political achievements when he was in charge of Dengzhou, and he was slapped a lot of sycophants.

However, if you take a closer look, some things that may leak the secrets of the Zhenguo Army are not visible in the newspapers. This made Cui Yunqing nod, this newspaper can enlighten the people's wisdom and even help business development, but Li Jing also controls some bad consequences that may be caused by this. Although everyone seems to be talking freely in the newspaper, there is no one to see who is in tune with the opposite. The tone of the whole newspaper was one of harmony.

"Why is there so much shouting from businessmen in this newspaper?" Cui Decheng couldn't help but feel very strange when he saw that there were many places on it that included information such as recruitment, purchasing, selling, transferring, and what was the opening of the business. The newspaper thing, he always felt that it was a more sacred thing, after all, it was all articles. But now I can't help but feel very strange when I see the merchants treating the newspaper as a plaza-like shouting business.

"It's an advertisement."

"Advertising?"

Xiao Er explained with a smile, "Say it's public!" No matter which businessman he is, as long as he pays the advertising fee to the newspaper bureau, and then the advertisement is verified to be free of false and bad information, he can publish it in the newspaper. ”

Cui Yunqing heard some fame, "Is this advertisement effective?" ”

"Advertising in the newspaper works great, of course, but it's expensive. The average person can't afford it, and even the cheapest mid-seam advertising is based on the word. For one day, each word costs 50 yuan, and the minimum charge for each advertisement is 5,000 yuan. Like that full-page advertisement, it's a hundred times a day. When our restaurant first opened, the proprietor published three full-page advertisements in the daily newspaper and spent 300 yuan. However, the effect is also quite hot, and the opening day is very popular, and our boss even shouted that it should be on duty. ”

Cui Yunqing calculated, a small middle-seam advertisement costs 5,000 words, a full page is 100,000 yuan, this issue of the newspaper is full of four large pages and 16 pages, and there are advertisements everywhere. In the end, this newspaper seems to be inconspicuous, but it actually makes a lot of money.

A newspaper costs 5 cents, and sells 60,000 copies a day, only 300,000 yuan. And the number of advertisements sold in an issue is more than that, and how much does this newspaper cost?

Besides, this business is done every day, and it is made every day, 365 days a year, and when it rolls up, the profit of this newspaper is very considerable. Now, Cui Yunqing has a deep impression of how Li Jing can make Dengzhou so prosperous.

After drinking and reading the newspaper, Cui Yunqing and others checked out.

"Accepting 27,354 yuan, our host said that he would erase the 354 yuan and only collect 27,000 yuan. Gold coins, silver coins, banknotes are acceptable, and copper coins are not charged for more than 10,000 yuan. The lobby tent pulled the abacus and said politely.

Cui Decheng was stunned for a moment, "Where do you open a black shop, and a meal actually costs nearly 30,000 yuan?" Dengzhou rice is only five dollars a pound, don't think that we are foreigners and easy to deceive. ”

"The guest officer is angry, please listen to the little old man." The owner of the restaurant wearing silk hurriedly came over and said with a smile, "The guest officer is from other places, there may be some misunderstandings." The price of rice in Dengzhou is indeed five dollars a catty, which is the good governance of the county king. In addition to grain, oil, cloth, salt, etc., the prices of many daily necessities in Dengzhou are very low. However, wine is very expensive, and in the territory of Zhenguo Army, wine is a non-essential item of life, so it belongs to a monopoly and is sold at a very high price. Moreover, our restaurant belongs to the service industry, and we have to levy high taxes on the service industry. There are more than 100 officials in total, and the cost of food is not much, mainly because the wine is not cheap. Twenty-seven thousand three hundred and fifty-four dollars, the small shop boy is not bullied, and he will never dare to deceive customers. If the official does not believe him, he can immediately ask the people from the industrial and commercial bureau who are patrolling the street to be fair. ”

When Cui Yunqing heard this, she already believed the owner of this restaurant. With such a big restaurant, they don't dare to mess around. smiled at the moment and asked Cui Decheng to pay thirty gold coins directly.

"The host was very well entertained and we were very satisfied. Here is the wine money, and the rest is the reward for the little two. ”

The owner of the restaurant saw that Cui Yunqing and his party were many powerful, and they were all high-headed horses, and at first glance, they were either rich or expensive. Seeing that the person in charge was so polite and easy to speak, he was also relieved, and hurriedly sent the person to the door respectfully.

As soon as Cui Yunqing came out of the restaurant, she saw a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the long street, and then saw a dazzling golden armored horse slowly coming.

When the people on the left and right of the street saw this procession coming, they all stopped, bowed their heads and bowed in salute.

"It's the king of Anton!" Cui Decheng saw a familiar face appear among the knights, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Li Jing rode a golden sweaty and bloody BMW to come, and he was still more than ten steps away, and he had already rolled off the saddle and fell off the horse, Da Lu stepped forward with a smile and saluted Cui Yunqing: "The student is late to greet the teacher, please forgive me!" ”

Cui Yunqing looked Li Jing up and down several times, and after a few years, Li Jing became more and more mature and atmospheric. Relieved Da Lu smiled and helped Li Jing up, and said with a smile: "Zhilu said that you are busy with official business, and I didn't want to alarm you, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't hide anything from your ears and eyes."
