Chapter 528 Southwest Money and Food as Payment

"Good news, good news, good news from the southwest, our Tang soldiers are as fierce as tigers, and the barbarians in the southwest are as stupid as pigs, good news."

Early on the morning of October 1st, the newsboy was running and shouting.

As they ran, they delivered newspapers to the homes of people who ordered them.

The price of a newspaper is still three yuan, but it has been changed to two, and one purchase costs six yuan.

It is still printed on one side, and the other side is for others to write on.

The cost has come down, and a newspaper no longer costs fifteen or six cents, but more than five cents.

Large quantities of paper were manufactured, and materials for ink were purchased in bulk.

Today's newspapers cover a large area such as Jingzhao Prefecture, Huazhou, Tongzhou, Qizhou, Fangzhou, and Shangzhou.

Some businessmen want to receive or ship large quantities of goods from other places, so they advertise in newspapers.

One-third of a two-page newspaper is an advertisement. Different word count, different positions, and different colors will result in different prices.

Three hundred thousand newspapers are printed in Zhuangzi every day. Counting advertising fees, one can earn more than one yuan, not less than two yuan.

Calculated on a penny basis, converted into three hundred coins, three hundred coins a day, thirty thousand coins a hundred days, and there will be more in the future.

Until now, the people still think that Lijiazhuangzi loses money every day by giving them newspapers.

When they hear good news, people who don't usually buy newspapers also pay for one or two copies.

Then use the pinyin to identify the characters. The people of Chang'an learned the pinyin in a few months.

I still don’t understand the specific meaning of some words, so I need to read them out and combine them with the context.

"What did you write in the newspaper today? My soldiers of the Tang Dynasty shouted and attacked the southwestern barbarians in the middle of the night. Climbing over the mountain was as simple as drinking water..."

Yao Chong read the contents of the newspaper and felt an indescribable feeling of embarrassment.

Shouting for a sneak attack? Do you want to send a letter of challenge for a sneak attack first? Southwest is pretty easy to cooperate with.

There are also mountains in the southwest, which are like drinking water.

"It's just fun to watch. Show it to ordinary people. People don't need to know the actual layout on the battlefield, as long as they win."

Lu Huaishen was also laughing there. The person who wrote the battle report in the newspaper was simply terrible.

He admitted that it was too literate for people to understand.

"Look at the advertisements, one after another, money." Zhang said he was trying to figure out how much money Lijiazhuangzi Newspaper could make.

Every block of space and word count had a price, and he found a profit.

When Yao Chong heard the word "money", he was silent for a moment: "The imperial court is training personnel. After the New Year, they will be sent to various places. If they make money, it won't all be Li Yi's."

"Li Yi looks down on him. What he cares about is publicity. The role of newspapers can popularize his pinyin.

In Chang'an City, a large number of people can read newspapers, which is amazing. When it comes to teaching achievements, Li Yi should be ranked first in the world.

Nowadays, the pinyin still needs to be marked. When more people understand the word, the pinyin can be removed. "

Lu Huaishen gave a positive evaluation. For another person, the court must commend him for such merit.

Lijiazhuangzi should have an archway, the kind with a gate tower.

It's a pity that Li Yi is still the third civil official from the second rank, and the court provides him with nothing except a salary.

Li Yi didn't like the salary, so he didn't give him the ice he should be given in summer and the charcoal he should be given in winter.

The ice in Lijiazhuangzi is almost open to use in summer, and the ice there is cleaner than the ice in the river, so it is frozen with well water.

Your Majesty sometimes uses ice, or Gao Lishi runs Lijiazhuang Ziyun.

"The war in the southwest should be over before the end of the year. The Ministry of Revenue had better give Li Yi the food and grass that should be taken." Yao Chong said something fair.

Zhang shook the newspaper and said, "Yes, if you want to provide food and grass from Chang'an and other places, it is indeed not as good as the current method.

Li Yi contacted Shu merchants to raise money locally, and the Ministry of Household Affairs transferred it to Li Yi, saving a lot of consumption on the road.

Although it was mainly defensive and took too long, it did not consume too much food and grass. "

He was settling a score.

Normally the court would say it would be best to fight for a month and drive away the southwest barbarians at a huge cost of casualties.

What needs support is a month’s worth of food and grass.

Now it looks like it is dragging on slowly, with few deaths and great pressure on the Southwest Barbarians. Don’t the Southwest Barbarians want to eat?

Four months of treatment seems to cost three more months.

However, after transporting one month's worth of food and grass, almost three months' worth of food and grass was consumed on the way.

At this time, it was Li Yi who used his personal connections to pay for the final money. Why?

"I'm afraid Long Ze won't agree. He's in charge of the household department and wants to make more money this year." Lu Huaishen believed that the difficulty lies with Bi Gou.

Everyone thinks that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is stingy. If you need money today, who will withdraw the money tomorrow, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance will have a headache.

"Ask." Yao Chong decided to discuss with Bi Gou and give the money to Li Yi.

It didn't take long for Bi Gou to come over with the newspaper.

He glanced at the three people and spoke first: "Now there are two pieces of paper. In the future, there will be three pieces of paper and four pieces of paper. There will be more advertisements."

Since becoming the Minister of Household Affairs, he has been thinking about money.

He was calculating the development of Lijiazhuangzi's newspaper, and like Zhang said, he noticed that the newspaper was starting to make a profit.

"At that time, the price of Lijiazhuangzi's newspapers will be reduced. One copy will cost three yuan, two will cost six yuan, and maybe five will only cost five yuan in total."

Lu Huaishen guessed Li Yi's plan. Three yuan a piece was too much, and the people couldn't afford it.

Zhang said in agreement: "It's almost the same. The exchange coupon can be printed on both sides, and the newspaper can also be printed on both sides. Printing on both sides saves a piece of paper."

Li Yi did not print, leaving one side blank for people to practice calligraphy. If five newspapers cost five dollars, one dollar would buy a piece of paper for calligraphy practice. "

Bi Gou was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Cut the large newspaper and bind it with thread. It can be used as a notebook."

"Longze, I invite you here to discuss the consumption of food and grass on the southwest battlefield." Yao Chong ordered someone to make tea for Bi Gou and got to the point.

"There is enough food and grass. There is no need for the imperial court to allocate it." Bi Gou pretended to be confused and refused to give it.

"It is taboo to use personal wealth to support the imperial army," Yao Chong reminded.

"Now the Ministry of Accounts has no money. Let's keep it in the accounts. When the Ministry of Accounts has money, we will give it to him." After hearing Yao Chong's words, Bi Gou agreed to give it.

It's just that we won't give it now. The Ministry of Accounts actually has money now, but not much.

What you owe to others is fine, but what you owe to Li Jia Zhuangzi is fine. Li Jia Zhuangzi is not short of the money.

"You can write an IOU and send it to Li Jia Zhuangzi."

Yao Chong came up with a solution. If you owe something, just owe it. You have to write an IOU, otherwise how can it be regarded as an debt?

Bi Gou looked troubled: "The Ministry of Revenue writes an IOU to a person, which damages the dignity of the court."

"If you want dignity, you don't need reputation?" Yao Chong said solemnly.

"Alas! Let me discuss with Li Yi and choose a compromise. UU Readingｗww.uukanshu.net "

Bi Gou didn't want to agree, but felt that it couldn't be justified.

He decided to ask the person involved to see what Li Yi meant.

"It's better to write an essay." Zhang said, suggesting that His Majesty Li Jia Zhuangzi was not willing to let anyone else go.

"That's okay." Bi Huan thought about what His Majesty said last time and felt very depressed.

After discussing the matter of giving money to Li Yi, Bi Gou pointed to the newspaper and said: "We will collect taxes and make money."

The three of them were stunned at the same time. You are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Everything you see is money?

Yao Chong turned the newspaper over and looked at the blank page: "Write an article and ask Li Yi to see if he is willing to hand it over."

Yao Chong found that the newspaper was about to make more money, so he also thought about it for the court.

"Sure!" Bi Gou agreed again.
