I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

However, the emperor is really pitiful. In Zhang Nuo's memory, it seems that many emperors have issued edicts of guilt and the like. It can only be linked to feudal superstition and other superstitious things.

If you meet a powerful emperor, like Zhu Yuanzhang, no one would dare to play like this. Old Zhu would kill a group of people because of his red eyes. kill it.

But the Tang Dynasty is not good at this moment. The strength and power of the aristocratic family do not mean overthrowing Li Tang, but they really have the ability to make the whole Li Tang mess up, which makes the emperor's weapon of choice.

However, these things are not impossible to solve. After Zhang Nuo refilled himself a cup of tea, he said with a smile,

"Old Li, in fact, your royal family is in the wrong direction. In such a situation where there is a lot of response, you should not say something to kill the scholars. Instead, you should think of a way to let these scholars follow you!"

Li Shimin was immediately excited when he heard the words,

"Why can't I think about it? Those scholars are treated extremely favorably by the imperial court. When the national strength was insufficient during the Wude period, and there were leaks everywhere, the imperial court did not lack the offerings of those students, but none of these white-eyed wolves are grateful!"

Zhang Nuo smiled and shook his head,

"You, I still don't understand. This is where I said you got the wrong direction. In the eyes of the students, they are disciples of Confucius and Mencius, and they should be supported by the court. Therefore, the money you allocated is in the They take it for granted!"

"Also, maybe the aristocratic family can talk about it in the middle, how they pulled out their teeth and racked their brains to get the money from the court, and finally the favor fell on the aristocratic family!"

Both Li Yuan and Li Shimin fell silent. They knew that this situation seemed to be Zhang Nuo's joke.But in fact, I'm afraid that's the case. Who wouldn't do it with a favor?

Li Yuan was supported by the aristocratic family back then, and it was the strong support of the aristocratic family that allowed him to end the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty and establish the Li Tang Empire in just a few years.

But it was precisely because of the strong support of the family that he not only failed to curb the development of the family during the Wude period, but gave the family a broad space for development. After all, this was the return to the family that had been agreed long ago.

However, as an emperor capable of founding a country, how could he not see the harm brought about by the rising power of the aristocratic family?

How can someone snore on the side of the couch to clearly explain their father and son's views on the aristocratic family!

Fortunately, Li Yuan hadn't been emperor for long, and his son came up. Now it's fun, he did agree to the family, but his son didn't agree.Thus, Li Shimin rushed to the front line against the aristocratic family in an instant.

And now that Li Yuan has completely eased the relationship with Li Shimin, naturally he doesn't need to avoid it, anyway, he just hides behind to come up with ideas, of course, it would be best to kill all those families as soon as possible!

So, after hearing what Zhang Nuo said, Li Yuan asked very directly,

"Xiao Langjun, since you have married Erlang to Jinlan, the old man can be considered your elder. Don't go around in circles with the old man, just talk about it directly. The old man would like to know how you plan to change this situation!"

Zhang Nuo first drank a cup of tea with a smile, and after whetting the appetite of the father and son on the opposite side, he said,

"To solve this problem, it was very difficult in the past, but now it is very simple, just get a newspaper!"

"What is a newspaper?" Li Shimin asked directly.

"The so-called newspapers are all kinds of information that people want to see and know, such as important events in the court, customs, and anecdotes in the market, and sell them everywhere on a piece of paper!"

"In the past, paper was too expensive and printing was too difficult. This kind of thing was thankless, and the imperial court couldn't afford the expense, but now my place happens to be able to take on this business!"

Zhang Nuo said his solution with a smile, but Li Yuan looked at Zhang Nuo suspiciously and asked,

"Running such a newspaper can solve the predicament? Isn't that too simple?"

Zhang Nuo shook his head and said slowly,

"It's not that simple. Since you are interested, I will tell you about the knowledge in it slowly. This thing is a big killer when it is done!"

"Making money is secondary. The main reason is that this thing can confuse public opinion and turn black and white. If it is in the hands of someone who knows how to do it, it may cause a storm at least, or affect the government at worst!"

Li Yuan and Li Shimin stared at Zhang Nuo in astonishment. They couldn't believe that Zhang Nuo said it. How powerful is this?

But looking at Zhang Nuo's calm expression, the father and son were always a little uneasy. Is this a joke or is it true? If Zhang Nuo's words are really as scary, then they have to decide whether to do it or not. .

Moreover, if such a thing does appear, how to manage and deal with it, they have no idea at all!

Now these two generations of emperors are completely confused, dare to say that there are still so many goods in the belly of the shopkeeper Zhang!

Chapter 270 Knowledge in Newspapers

No matter how confused the father and son were, Zhang Nuo poured himself a cup of tea again, drank it in one gulp and continued,

"Think about it, if there is such a newspaper, let alone daily, it is sold every ten days, not to mention cheap, and there are important ministers in the court and even His Majesty personally writing articles on it. Is there anyone who buys such a newspaper? No one is chasing after you?"

Both Li Shimin and his son nodded at the same time. This is for sure. For the common people and those who are not qualified to enter the court, the entire court is a mystery, let alone the emperor who is aloof.

If there is such a newspaper, there will be countless people chasing after it for the purpose of understanding the policies of the court, not to mention Zhang Nuo just said that the price is not expensive.

Seeing the two nodding their heads, Zhang Nuo smiled and continued,

"Okay, since many people buy it and the price is cheap, will there be many readers reading newspapers for other neighbors in the neighborhood? After all, other people can't read, right?"

The two nodded again, this is for sure, especially for those poor scholars who belong to neighbors, this small requirement must be met.

"Then do you think that if such a newspaper goes on like this for a long time, will everyone believe what it says?"

Having said that, Zhang Nuo took a meaningful look at the father and son opposite him while holding the teacup.

But this sentence shook the hearts of Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son like a thunderbolt!

God!It turned out to be like this!

They never expected that it would be so simple, yet so terrifying!

Zhang Nuo didn't need to continue talking, they all understood, this is the power of authority!

Use the reputation of the emperor and the court to guarantee the newspaper, let the newspaper spread as much as possible, and after people are convinced of the information on it, can they carry private goods?Is it possible to blow for the emperor at any time?

The aristocratic family has to spread the word slowly to incite the students and the common people. If the royal family has such treasures in their hands, why bother to incite it?

Li Shimin is sweating from his forehead at the moment, and some things are afraid of imagining things, which can scare people to death if they are not scary at first. Scenes of popular rebellion.

After all, Li Yuan was the emperor for nine years, he slapped the table and said sharply,

"No, this newspaper must be run by my royal family, and only my royal family can run it!"

Zhang Nuo nodded noncommittally, and said calmly,

"For the time being, it is true that only the royal family or the imperial court can do it, and it is best that the royal family do it. After all, if the imperial court is to do it, it is really hard to say what and how the newspaper will publish it!"

"Even if someone wants to run a newspaper in the future, if they can't stop it, they can set up a review agency in the imperial court, and let this agency be responsible for reviewing the distribution of newspapers. If there is any false information, it will be blocked immediately!"

Li Yuan and his son nodded at the same time, and their eyes were even more fierce, as if anyone who dared to run a newspaper would kill him immediately.

Zhang Nuo looked at the father and son in such a funny way, so he deliberately said,

"Then do you know what to do with this newspaper?"

Li Yuan was taken aback, didn't he already explained everything clearly, the important officials of the court and the emperor wrote articles, went to Brother Xiao Zhang to make plates and print them, and then sold them in the city?

Li Yuan's words were at the bottom of his throat, but when he saw Zhang Nuo's smiling face, the alarm bells rang in his heart, no, there must be pitfalls in it, there must be things that he didn't understand, and it would be embarrassing if he opened his mouth indiscriminately now .

After all, Li Yuan had been neighbors with Zhang Nuo for a while, and after dealing with them every day, he became very familiar with them, and immediately noticed the big pit inside, but Li Shimin didn't have much time to deal with Zhang Nuo recently, so he didn't feel that there was any problem. said directly,

"Brother, you have made it so clear, what's the difficulty? Let those ministers take turns to write articles, and let His Majesty write something from time to time, and send it to you for printing? Don't worry, you will be indispensable after selling money! "

Zhang Nuo laughed loudly,

"Old Li, you are such a wonderful person. It would be great if this newspaper was so simple. It seems that you are really not suitable for being in the officialdom. You are afraid that you will be tricked to death with your temper!"

Zhang Nuo's unintentional words made Li Shimin's face blush at this moment, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

It would be fine if it was just the two of them, but now that his father is on the sidelines, Zhang Nuo commented that he would be cheated to death if he was in the officialdom, so what is it for him to snatch the throne from his father?Could it be the word "cheating father" that brother Xiao Zhang said?

Li Shimin said angrily with a little embarrassment,

"Why is it wrong? Isn't it enough for the emperor and ministers to write articles in person? The emperor's articles can't be read by ordinary people!"

Zhang Nuo smiled and nodded Lao Li,

"You, I'm in a hurry. Let's just say it. Everyone naturally wants to read the emperor's articles, but can the emperor write an article every ten days? He doesn't read the memorial? Does he not deal with state affairs?"

"Besides, the emperor himself should be aloof. If he says something once in a while, it must be a final word, but if he says too much, then the words are worthless!"

"That's why I said that if you are in the officialdom, you are afraid that you will be cheated to death. If you dare to make this suggestion to the emperor, even if you are a relative of the emperor, you will be scolded at that time!"

"Damn the image of the emperor, this is a serious crime, even you, the emperor's relatives, can't bear it!"

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, what else is there to say?

Are you kidding me?Why don't I know that there is such a saying after being emperor for so long?

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at his father, who had been the emperor for a long time, but found that his father smiled and nodded, and then Li Shimin suddenly looked like a husky, what the hell, does the emperor also know, just me do not know?

In fact, Li Yuan didn't know much about Zhang Nuo's statement just now, but judging from his many years of experience, it is undoubtedly very correct. It's just that he was always vague about these things before, and he couldn't sort them out systematically. All this was understood by tossing.

To put it bluntly, what Zhang Nuo said meant that the emperor must have a sense of distance from his courtiers and the common people, and maintain the mystery of the aloofness in order to have the authority to speak out.

And if it is true what his stupid son said, and he writes articles in newspapers from time to time to explain something, how can the emperor's authority be reflected?

At that time, will anyone be able to comment on the article written by the emperor?

The majesty of the emperor is still a fart?

Chapter 271 Confirming the Newspaper Business

Li Yuan was very lucky at the moment, thanks to his familiarity with Xiao Zhang's shopkeeper's tricks, he didn't fall into the trap. Now he can look at his stupid son sweating profusely there with contempt.

However, even if Li Yuan didn't lose face on the spot, he was still terrified in his heart. This shopkeeper really didn't forget to dig holes everywhere. He was the one who said before that the emperor could write an article, but when he turned around, he found that this was a big hole. It is specially used to cheat people.

Li Shimin also came to his senses at this moment, with a wry smile he cupped his hands towards Zhang Nuo and said,

"Brother Xian, you can just let Brother Wei go. Brother Wei understands. Instead of guessing here, it's better to ask Brother Xian for guidance!"

"Brother, this business is of great importance, not to mention making money, even if you don't make money, you have to put money into it, and you have to agree for the royal family!"

"Brother, don't worry, I will take care of everything needed for this business, but the money you earn in the end will be yours, as long as I can handle this errand for the royal family!"

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li in surprise,

"Okay, Lao Li, you are brave enough. Not only did you promise such a big thing for the emperor, but you are also willing to pay for it. You are not afraid that the emperor will settle accounts with you afterwards!"

Li Shimin didn't know how to answer this time. He was excited just now, but he talked too much. He didn't know how to make it up for a while. After all, he is an ordinary royal family member who has no official position, and he seemed to agree directly just now. Is this shit something that ordinary royals can do?

Seeing this situation, Li Yuan sighed silently, this silly son is really at a loss, fortunately he is here today, otherwise the scene of the white dragon fish costume would have to be worn out today.

"Xiao Langjun, don't worry about this stupid son of the old man, he also cares about it, but the old man still has some face in the royal family!"

"Based on Mr. Xiao Lang's credit for bringing up the newspaper today, plus the face of the old man, the foolish son of the old man promised you the conditions just now, and the old man will definitely do it for you. Do you believe it or not?"

——Zhang Nuo laughed——

"Haha, what you say, old man, is of course reliable. Old Li, you still have to learn from the old man. If you can't make up your mind, don't just agree!"

Li Shimin's old face was flushed by being run over by the old, the young, the left, the stupid son, and the right.

Nima, he is already the emperor, why can't he be the master of this kind of thing?

But the grievance is that if the play continues to be sung, he really has to knock his teeth down and swallow it. He honestly cupped his hands, squeezed out a smile and said,

"Brother Xian reminds me that my brother has just met Meng Lang! Fortunately, my father is here!"

Li Yuan and Zhang Nuoshen nodded synchronously, both of them had a teachable expression, which made Li Shimin almost lose his temper again.

The joke is naturally a joke, Zhang Nuo saw that Lao Li couldn't continue to be stimulated like this, so he turned his head and said seriously,

"This business can only be done by the royal family. I can help with ideas. Naturally, my bookstore will do the typesetting and printing, but of course I can't earn all the money!"

Zhang Nuo raised his hand to stop Lao Li from speaking, and continued in earnest,

"Old Li, don't object. It's not just about money. If you trust me, you can take over this job. After deducting the cost, I will take [-]% of the money earned by the newspaper, and you and the royal family will share the rest! "

Li Shimin wanted to say something, but Li Yuan directly opened his mouth to settle the matter.

"This old man agrees on behalf of the royal family, and it's only three to seven points!"

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan in surprise, wondering why his father would really agree to this share.

In his opinion, even if this business can make money, it is not a big deal. Now that brother Zhang cannot be an official in the court, he should use more money to make up for it.

Although he is short of money, he is not short of money to such an extent, a little money is a reward, what's the matter, but why did the old man agree to this division?Is there anything else to say here?

Looking at his stupid son, Li Yuan really had the urge to punch him in the face. Where did that shrewd and capable son in the past go? This is probably a fake.

However, whether it is their own seed, or their family is currently the head of the family, the prosperity of the family is all pointing to this child, what should be taught still has to be taught,

"Hey, Erlang, when the time comes, the emperor and courtiers will have to participate in such matters. No matter how much you earn, you must be the head of the royal family. Otherwise, who owns the business?"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, that's right, if the money is all given to brother Zhang, the business will really have something to say when the time comes, even if it is said to be a royal business, other people won't believe it.

Don't say that no one knows, there is no impenetrable wall in this world, let alone a transaction involving so many people inside and outside, sooner or later the news will leak out.

At that time, where will the majesty of the royal family be placed?

Such an important thing, not to mention complete control, is completely in the hands of others. This is unimaginable, especially as long as the newspaper is listed, after a period of time, I am afraid that those courtiers will know the stakes in it. , not only Zhang Nuo, even he will be put on the cusp.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help shivering, and then looked at Zhang Nuo and his father in front of him with a look of luck.
