Although Xie Tang was just talking to Xie Ying, his eyes lit up when he heard her words: "Yingying, do you know how to make money? Tell me quickly, and I'll share the money with you when I make it!"
Xie Ying hooked her finger mysteriously and said, "Come closer and listen."
Xie Tang: “…”
He silently looked at Xie Ying's height, then silently looked at himself.
This girl was so much shorter than him, yet she asked him to lean over to her ear.
Although he was secretly complaining, he still pulled Xie Ying to sit down, then leaned over and whispered, "Tell me now, I won't tell anyone else!"
Xie Ying then smiled and said, "You know the tabloid, right? If you want to make money, you can start a tabloid.
When the school starts, you can find a few classmates and start a gossip tabloid together.
You can write some interesting stories about Suzhou on it, or even make up some stories and put them on it, and then print and sell them.”
Xie Tang was a little confused: "But... printing is very time-consuming. If we sell this kind of tabloid too expensively, no one will buy it. If we sell it too cheaply, we will definitely lose money!"
"You can sell advertising space and let people pay for advertising. Remember the poetry competition before? As long as your tabloid can be sold to those wealthy families, there will definitely be merchants willing to spend more money to advertise in it."
Xie Ying gave him some advice, "As for printing, do you know wax paper printing?"
Xie Tang opened his eyes wide in surprise: "What is this?"
Xie Ying explained, "It's about covering the paper with a layer of wax film, then writing words with a hard pen. Then, as long as you apply ink on it, the ink will seep through from where you wrote, and print the words. Although the printing quality of this thing is not high, it is convenient to print, which is suitable for your tabloid."
Xie Tang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "How can this be possible? Yingying, you are amazing!"
At the end of his speech, he hugged Xie Ying excitedly and wanted to kiss her on the face twice.
Xie Ying looked at him warily, reaching out to push him and said, "Situ Yuan knows how to make ink, you can write to him and ask him now.
But there's no rush to start a tabloid right now. It's easy to offend people if you start one alone. It's best to wait until the academy opens and get a few more classmates to join you."
Xie Tang forced a meaningful smile. "Don't worry, I understand! Didn't His Majesty write a plaque for the academy? He even became its dean. When the academy opens, the wealthy families in Gusu will definitely try every possible means to get their children in. Then I'll pick a few of them and we can work together to start this tabloid you mentioned."
After saying that, he pinched Xie Ying's face and continued, "When I make money, I'll buy you some candy!"
Xie Ying glanced at him with disdain: "I don't want any candy, give me half of the money you earn!"
Xie Tang's face turned bitter immediately: "Yingying, you are already a princess, you get a salary every year, and you are still thinking about my little money? I haven't even started my tabloid yet."
Xie Ying snorted lightly: "Anyway, I don't care. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. If you don't give it to me, I won't help you with advice in the future."
Even if Xie Tang is her brother, she can't give Xie Tang advice for nothing.
Otherwise, being grateful for a little and then resenting it will only cause endless harm.
Xie Tang thought of Xie Ying's idea and could only reluctantly agree: "Okay, I'll give you half."
Xie Ying then smiled with satisfaction. Seeing that he was a little depressed, she deliberately said, "Don't worry, if I have a good idea to make money in the future, I will definitely tell you!"
Xie Tang then became happy: "Then you must not forget!"
Xie Ying waved her hand generously: "You are my brother, of course I can't forget you! Please write a letter to Situ Yuan for me first."
Xie Tang immediately helped Xie Ying write a letter, and then wrote another one himself, asking about ink and wax paper printing.
After writing the letter, Xie Ying asked Peregrine to take it back.
After Xie Tang waited for the servant to inquire about the prices, he wrote a letter to Yang Tao and asked the Black Kirin Guard to deliver it to the capital.
The next day, Situ Yuan received the letter and recognized it as Xie Tang's handwriting, but he was not surprised.
Xie Ying is too young to hold the brush properly.
But if she were to write with her fingers, she would definitely not want to do that given her personality.
However, Xie Ying knew how to find help and actually asked Xie Tang to help write the letter.
Situ Yuan shook his head in amusement, but when he saw the idea Xie Ying gave him, his eyes lit up immediately.
Yeah, why didn't he think of that? He could give Yang Tao that kid some homework.
Anyway, that kid has been very idle recently, so it's time to find him something to do.
After reading the letter Xie Tang wrote for Xie Ying, he soon saw another letter from Xie Tang.
Seeing Xie Tang asking about wax paper printing and ink, he immediately guessed that this was Xie Ying's idea.
It's impossible for Xie Tang to know about wax paper printing and ink, and Xie Ying is a person who will not do anything without profit. She deliberately told Xie Tang all this, could it be that she wanted Xie Tang to start a newspaper?
Given Xie Ying's personality, she definitely wouldn't publish a serious newspaper, so is it a gossip newspaper?
It was indeed something she could do.
Situ Yuan couldn't help laughing when he thought of the way Xie Ying and Xie Tang talked.
Then he thought about it, suddenly took out a pen and paper, and began to write back to Xie Tang.
After sending Peregrine Falcon to deliver the letter, he gave Yang Tao a hundred arithmetic problems, and then couldn't wait to get in the carriage and enter the palace.
In the palace, as soon as Yang Tao saw Situ Yuan, he happily pulled him to sit down and opened his mouth to continue asking questions.
Unexpectedly, Situ Yuan took out a stack of papers and placed them in front of him: "I don't know how to do these questions, can you help me, cousin?"
Yang Tao looked at the math problems on the paper and was stunned for a moment: "Cousin, where... where did you get these problems?"
"I read it in a book," Situ Yuan lied calmly. "I heard that if you solve all these problems, you'll become very smart. Doesn't my cousin know how to do it, too?"
Yang Tao opened his mouth and wanted to say that he didn't know how to do it, but when he met Situ Yuan's expectant eyes, he suddenly couldn't say it.
At this time, Situ Yuan spoke again: "Cousin, I'm sure you will, right?"
Yang Tao: “…”
He said with difficulty: "Well, I... I need to take a look first, I may not be able to do it."
"Then you go ahead and do it first, cousin. I'll go back and make something interesting."
After Situ Yuan finished speaking, he decisively ran away.
Before Yang Tao could react, he had already walked out of the room quickly.
Yang Tao subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him, but unfortunately Situ Yuan walked too fast and disappeared in an instant. He could only shut up silently and look at the arithmetic problem in his hand.
Then the more I watched, the more depressed I became.
He couldn't even answer a single question!
Is he that stupid?
Yang Tao pursed his lips in frustration and decided to ask the teacher.
When his teacher saw these arithmetic problems, he was also dumbfounded.
He spoke with difficulty: "Your Highness said that these questions were given to you by Prince Yongkang?"
Yang Tao nodded and looked at the Master expectantly: "Master, you will definitely do it, right?"
The Master felt bitter: "..."
He teaches classics and history, and is really not good at arithmetic!
Did Prince Yongkang really not do it on purpose?
