Konoha Hypocrite Uchiha Tonan

People will always grow up. When I was a child, I read Jin Yong and always wanted to become a martial arts hero like Guo Jing and Yang Guo.

When you grow up, you will find that Wei Xiaobao is actually the real winner in life.

Find a paradise and spend the rest of your life with your beautiful wife and concubine. At this point in your life, what more could you ask for?

"Wei Xiaobao..." Tang Yaoyao narrowed her eyes at him and asked, "Then you plan to marry seven wives like him?"

"That's not true." Tangning shook her head and said, "I'm very satisfied now."

Tang Yaoyao looked at him with satisfaction. After thinking about it carefully, her expression became dissatisfied again.

Tangning didn't know what was going on in Tang Yaoyao's little head all day long. Her expression changed as quickly as flipping through a book. She walked in and asked him a question. After getting his answer, she felt a little happy at first, and then walked away angrily... …

He shook his head, women, there is another name called contradiction...

He walked out of the room and asked Qing'er to prepare bath water for him. After taking a bath, he had to go over and discuss with Tang Yaoyao about the preliminaries for the Sixteenth Guards Competition.

……

Starting from the sixth day of winter, Tangrenzhai, the largest bookstore in Beijing, began to publish something called "newspaper".

This kind of "newspaper" is different from a book. It only has a thin page, but its format is several times the size of an ordinary book.

The book list that Tang Ren Zhai will publish soon occupies [-]% of the page. The recruitment notices of many Tang Ren Zhai stores occupy nearly [-]%. The remaining two pages briefly introduce the origin of the Sixteen Guards and their respective roles. Responsibilities, and attached the ranking of Xiaobi of the Sixteenth Guards ten years ago.

This newspaper cost one penny a copy, which was very cheap. A thousand copies were printed on the first day and were sold out within half an hour.

Only a few people were interested in Tangrenzhai's published books and recruitment notices, but the introduction and ranking of Sixteenth Guards attracted the attention of many people.

The quadrennial competition of the Sixteenth Guards is about to begin. Many people have already focused on this important event, but they do not know the strength of the Sixteenth Guards. The newspaper published by Tangrenzhai just provides them with a reference. .

The common people didn't know much about the Sixteenth Guards before. This newspaper made them realize that the reason why the people in the capital lived a stable life was because of these people who guarded them. Three days after the newspaper was published, frequent people in the streets and alleys began to Let’s discuss the matter of the Sixteenth Guards Competition.

Tang Yaoyao walked out of Tangrenzhai, looked at Tang Ning and asked, "This kind of newspaper can't make much money, so why do you spend so much effort on it?"

Tangning smiled and said, "I won't be able to explain it for a while. Anyway, just wait to receive the money."

Of course Tang Yaoji didn't understand the importance of public opinion. Tang Ning deliberately kept the price of the newspaper to the lowest level. The profit was only about the same as the cost. Although it was not profitable, it could guarantee that any common person could buy it, even if they only bought one copy. By circulating it to each other, his purpose will be achieved.

In just a few days, the Sixteen Guards Competition has already become a hot topic of discussion among the people. After that, Tangrenzhai will devote a section to introducing the Sixteenth Guards every day. After the competition starts, a banner will be erected at the entrance of Tangrenzhai. Brand, points and rankings are updated at any time until the end of the competition.

After the Great Competition, the people were almost accustomed to the existence of newspapers. After that, they mainly focused on major news that happened in the capital or the country. The people in the capital had a very high sense of national identity and pride, and were very concerned about such things.

In addition, Xiaoqi Camp has begun to build a site. In fact, the main task is to enclose the land. The amount of work is not large and it can be put into use in one month.

For Tang Ning, the most difficult thing now is how to convince Chen Huang to allow him to sell tickets. He cannot decide this matter privately. He wrote a letter and handed it over yesterday, but there is no news yet.

He took a break today and went shopping with Tang Yaoyao. As soon as he returned home, he saw Ling Yun standing in the courtyard. When he saw him coming in, he stepped forward and said, "Master Tang, His Majesty announces your admission to the palace."

When Emperor Chen announced his entry into the palace this time, he should be talking about the tickets for the Sixteenth Guards Competition.

Tang Ning got on the carriage, while Ling Yun rode in front.

The Ling family is also a family of military generals. If you really think about it, they should be the most prominent generals in the capital today.

Ling Yun is not much older than Lu Teng and Xiao Jue, but he is already the general of the Yulin Guard, often accompanying Emperor Chen. The Ling family is not like the Lu family, who took the civil service route in the middle. The current head of the Ling family is Ling Yun's father. , is General Jin Yuwei. The other heirs are not in the capital, but are accumulating military exploits on the border. There are no generals in the capital who are better than the Ling family.

When Tang Ning was about to enter the carriage, she saw Rich Man Tang coming out of his home. She couldn't pretend not to see him, so she raised her hand and greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Tang."

Tang Ji originally didn't want to say hello to Tang Ning, but now that he had spoken, he had no choice but to wave his hand and ask casually, "Where are you going?"

Tang Ning was surprised that Rich Man Tang would actually talk to him. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty has summoned me."

Tang Ji's eyes stayed on Ling Yun's face for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Who is this?"

Tang Ning introduced: "Commander Ling Yun Ling."

Ling Yun looked at him and said, "Master Tang, it's time for us to leave. Don't keep your Majesty waiting."

Tang Ning waved to Rich Man Tang again and said, "Goodbye, Uncle Tang."

Tang Ji stood there for a long time, watching the carriage disappear.

The butler behind him took a step forward and whispered: "Master, aren't you going to the Red Sleeve Pavilion?"

Tang Ji felt a little upset, waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

……

In the imperial study.

Chen Huang took a newspaper in his hand and said, "Newspapers are quite new, but if they only sell for a penny, I'm afraid they won't even be able to make back their capital. Wouldn't he lose money?"

He put down the newspaper and said: "It's a good Sixteenth Guards Competition. It's a special case to sell tickets and let businessmen participate in it. He actually wants to make profits from it. I want to see how he explains it to me."

Not long after he finished speaking, a eunuch came forward to report that Tang Ning had arrived.

Chen Huang looked over and said, "Let him come in."

Tang Ning walked into the hall, bowed her hands and said, "I see your Majesty."

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked: "How are the preparations going for the Sixteenth Guards Competition?"

Tang Ning said, "Your Majesty, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner."

Chen Huang spoke again: "Then you and I can explain, what are the tickets for this competition?"

Tang Ning had been preparing for this issue before coming. Hearing this, he said, "Your Majesty, I know that money from the national treasury is hard to come by, and there are so many places that need it. There are droughts in the north and floods in the south every year." , and the Shushen people repeatedly invaded the border, which cost a lot of money...

The Sixteen Guards have a small contest every year and a major contest every four years. It costs a lot, but compared with relieving the people from disasters, fighting against foreign enemies, and protecting the country and the people, it is really a trivial matter. I dare not put more pressure on the national treasury, so I tried to convince the wealthy businessmen in Beijing to donate silver to prepare for the competition, saving money for the national treasury. I also thought of selling tickets for the competition, with [-]% of the proceeds going to the Ministry of War, [-]% to the national treasury, and the rest going back to the businessmen who organized it. The court is considerate..."

If you want to persuade others, it is best to start from the interests of others and say that I am doing all this for your own good. Of course, before doing this, you must first understand what the other person needs and likes... This is called giving in to what they like. .

According to Tang Ning's understanding of Emperor Chen, he can lower the bottom line once for the sake of money, and he can lower it a second time. Moreover, he is not doing it for his own benefit, but from the perspective of the court, the treasury, and Emperor Chen. Thinking represents selfless justice.

The money was already placed in front of him, the only question was whether he wanted to use it or not.

Who would have trouble with Yinzi, even if he is the emperor...

Tang Ning raised her head and looked at it. Judging from Chen Huang's somewhat moved expression, he guessed it right this time, and there was a good chance that there was no need to bargain.
