The whole article sprayed Luo Yi almost all over in terms of legal principles, ethics, etc. According to what the newspaper said, it is already worse than a pig and a dog.

Chapter 339 The newspaper is finally on the market

As the first listing of Datang News, both Wei Zheng and Li Shimin were undoubtedly very nervous. On the one hand, they both felt that this product was good, but on the other hand, they were afraid that it would be unacceptable.

Therefore, Wei Zheng and Li Shimin strolled to the restaurant in Chang'an City early in the morning, ordered a few small dishes and a pot of wine with big white eyes, and sat in front of the window on the second floor to watch the street view with the cold wind blowing.

If Da Zhuang hadn't known that this was the owner's friend, or the second owner of the winery, he would have quit so early in the morning, how could the restaurant open so early in the morning.

As a result, the old man came early in the morning and asked people to knock on the door regardless. He also took people to wash, prepare vegetables, and stock in the backyard, and he was dragged to the front to cook for them.

And the most ruthless thing is, early in the morning, he has to make a lion head, and he has to say that thing is for drinking. If Da Zhuang didn't know Li Shimin, he really wouldn't do it.

There is still a lot of work in the backyard, and the owner has assigned him a task. He has to practice cooking and knife skills every day. He is busy!

Li Shimin sat in front of the window with a smile on his face, took a sip from the wine glass in one hand, held the lion's head on the plate in the other, and said to Wei Zheng,

"Master Wei, try this food and wine. You can't find such a good craftsmanship in other places in Chang'an City. This is made by Da Zhuang. Brother Xiao Zhang taught two apprentices in a serious way, and now one of them is here. Here, one is in another restaurant, except for these two restaurants, you can't eat such delicious food anywhere else!"

Li Shimin didn't know what was wrong, as long as he left the palace now, he could immediately change his identity to that businessman Lao Li.

Not only has his speaking style changed, but his temperament and demeanor have also changed perfectly. No, Wei Zheng was taken aback for a moment. He has never seen Li Shimin's superb acting skills.

However, no matter how you say, Master Wei Zhengwei has also seen strong winds and waves. If His Majesty came out in a white dragon fish suit, it's better not to reveal His Majesty's identity.

Therefore, Wei Zheng also nodded along the way, holding the wine glass and drinking slowly.

Today's Chang'an people, as long as they have a little money in their pockets, their drinking style is completely different from before.

In the past, when the brothers sat together to drink, at least they had to use a big bowl to show their masculinity, or maybe they had to use a jar.

But now, those who drink with big bowls are either local turtles from the countryside outside the city, or melons who are too poor to drink Zhang's fine wine. Anyone who has really drank Zhang's fine wine knows that the aroma of the wine is also real. The energy is amazing.

For a normal drinking capacity, it is estimated that only one large glass has to be poured. Even if the alcohol capacity is good, it is estimated that it will not pass three glasses.

If we still follow the previous drinking method of drinking from a large bowl, I am afraid that if the bowl is not finished, the table will have to leave.

I have to say that Zhang Nuo has abruptly changed the dining atmosphere of Datang, even drinking has become elegant!

Wei Zheng is like this now. In the past, even if he was a powerless literati, he would drink bowl by bowl, but now, when he faces Li Shimin face to face, he still scores several sips for a small glass of wine, sipping slowly. Just do it!

The two monarchs and ministers changed their identities, and without the tit-for-tat confrontation in the court, it seemed that they even got closer to chatting. It was the first time that Li Shimin felt that when Wei Zheng was not talking about others, chatting was actually quite interesting.

But this chatting atmosphere didn't last long, and Li Shimin and his ministers heard the voice they wanted to hear coming from outside the window.

"The Great Tang News, the Great Tang News with His Majesty's own inscription, take a look at the details of the Youzhou Rebellion, and see His Majesty's comments on the Zhenguan New Deal!"

A big man with a broken arm now had a cloth pocket hanging on his chest, filled with a lot of newspapers, and was yelling as he walked hard.

Li Shimin quickly stretched out his head to stop the remnant army, and then asked someone to buy two newspapers to come up.

After getting the newspaper, Li Shimin didn't read the content carefully at the first time, but held up the newspaper and looked it around.

First of all, he was satisfied with the price of the newspaper. Not to mention the two large sheets of paper, which were densely filled with words, but only ten coppers, the price was extremely conscientious.

Moreover, he knew that the price of the ten coppers was the result of Wei Zheng's profit of adding two pennies. The real price of buying paper and printing from Zhang Nuo was eight pennies.

Looking at the newspaper now, the paper doesn't seem to be the snow-white paper he usually sees. The color is quite dull, but the writing is still very clear.

The most important thing is that Zhang Nuo told him very early on, don't make the newspaper so that only the rich can afford it, then the newspaper will lose its original meaning.

It is necessary to use all means to lower the price under the premise of ensuring quality, so that this newspaper can be truly circulated, and as long as it is circulated, more and more people will be able to read, and the government's decrees and news will also be spread. will become wider and wider.

The most important thing is that as long as the newspapers can continue to sell well, then the imperial court will have a new channel for information release and a position of public opinion that is different from the usual.

Therefore, even if he knew that the quality of these papers was obviously not as good as the ones he used, and the ones sold in Zhang's Bookstore on weekdays, he didn't care.

As long as the writing is clear and the price is cheap, then his goal has been achieved.

To put it bluntly, he used to subsidize money from internal funds to let people produce rice paper for those students. For what, isn't it just to let everyone study more and train more poor students?

Nowadays, not only do you not need to post money, but you can still earn money, and the amount is so large, so there is nothing to complain about.

Li Shimin was thinking about the quality of the newspaper, while Wei Zheng looked at the newspaper excitedly.

Although he, as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, knows every article on it and can even recite every word, but this is the first time he has seen the real print in the newspaper.

The first page of the newspaper was an article written by Li Shimin himself. It probably said that the newspaper was run with the support of the imperial court and was used to disseminate some information for all the people in the country to know.

Not to mention the inscription written in the name of Li Shimin, but the manuscript written by Li Shimin was directly published, which is to put a layer of gold on Datang Daily.

And Wei Zheng looked at the second edition of the prose written by himself, and immediately felt comfortable no matter how he read it.

To put it bluntly, he, Wei Zheng, is also a literati. To be able to see his own words printed on paper in his lifetime is simply the highest pursuit of a scholar.

What's more, this is the first time, and there will be a newspaper every few days in the future, so Wei Zheng will definitely have more articles published.

And by that time, he will surely become famous in the literary world!

Chapter 340 Newspaper Influence

Li Shimin and Wei Zheng sat here not only to buy a newspaper for the first time, but also to know the people's views on newspapers, a new thing.

Therefore, even Da Zhuang almost turned his eyeballs so that he could hardly see the darkness, Li Shimin still smiled and ordered a few more dishes, ordered a pot of wine again, and continued to sit with a little drunkenness.

In fact, Zhang Nuo was holding back his bad intentions. Logically speaking, after all the manuscripts arrived at the printing factory, there should be an existing version for Wei Zheng and others to review.

But Zhang Nuo didn't think it was troublesome, so he just checked it himself. People like Wei Zheng know nothing, let alone Lao Li. How can a layman guide an expert?
