Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

The current situation of the newspaper office is indeed somewhat beyond Gu Yanshu's expectations.

Looking at the people next to each other in the shop that the newspaper used as a facade, Gu Yanshu turned around without even thinking about it, and walked directly to the side door in the back yard.

Don't look at the guys in front of the facade who are busy without touching the ground, but they don't affect the order in the backyard at all.

After Xingren knocked on the side door, not long after, someone greeted him:

"I've met His Highness. Is His Highness here to look for the Sixth Young Master?"

"Qing Xiao is here?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Gu Yanshu's face, and his steps paused.

"Returning to His Highness, the sixth son said that although everything has been arranged, today is the first day of publication of the daily newspaper. I can't be relieved unless I see it with my own eyes. The sixth son came here just after an hour today."

The person who came bent over slightly and replied respectfully.

It has to be said that Wen Qingxiao did have the foresight. I didn't see that today's newspaper office was just opened, and it was full of situations.

If the Sixth Young Master hadn't presided over the overall situation, they would definitely be in a hurry and don't know what to do now.

While speaking, Gu Yanshu had already walked outside Wen Qingxiao's office room.

Before entering the room, I heard Wen Qingxiao's deep and cold voice:

"Then let the craftsmen work harder and print another batch of today's newspapers."

Immediately afterwards, a slightly embarrassing voice came from inside the room:

"But son, with the current situation outside, one batch may not be enough."

Wen Qingxiao gave the answer without thinking:

"It's not enough and there's only so much. Tell them that printing today is an exception. If you don't want this to happen again, try to hurry up!"

"Yes, little one, let's go and tell them."

Afterwards, a person retreated from the house. From the short brown on his body, it was not difficult to see that this was a guy who worked in the newspaper office.

The guy didn't expect to see Gu Yanshu, he was stunned for a while, and then he seemed to come back to his senses:

"I have seen Her Royal Highness Princess Li."

This greeting directly caught Wen Qingxiao's attention in the room:

"Why is Your Highness here?"

"Excuse me, the prince has gone to the palace. I am idle in the palace, so I want to come and have a look today."

Gu Yanshu waved casually at the guy, and walked straight into the room.

Hearing Gu Yanshu's answer, Wen Qingxiao smiled softly:

He was not at all surprised by Gu Yanshu's answer.

Gu Yanshu first took a look in the office, and then set his eyes on Wen Qingxiao.

More precisely, it should have landed on the wheelchair under Wen Qingxiao:

"How is it? Are you still used to it?"

It was not difficult to see that the wheelchair Wen Qingxiao was sitting in was no longer the one it used to be.

And the wheelchair that Wen Qingxiao is using now is an annual gift given to him by Gu Yanshu this year.

Wen Qingxiao's previous wheelchair was custom-made by Wen's family by finding skilled craftsmen at a great price.

Although the craftsmanship of the craftsman was good, the wheelchair still had certain limitations.

If you want to push a wheelchair, you need to use a lot of strength, which is nothing more than a very difficult thing for a user who is sitting in a wheelchair and has nowhere to borrow strength.

Even though Wen Qingxiao was not a frail scholar, he couldn't push the wheelchair all the time. Most of the time, he still needed the help of servants.

This is tantamount to increasing the difficulty of Wen Qingxiao's activities to another extent.

Gu Yanshu discovered this problem when he first met Wen Qingxiao.

At that time, he already had the idea in his heart to help Wen Qingxiao improve this wheelchair, not to ask how sophisticated it was, at least it could be like the wheelchairs of later generations, allowing users to operate it easily.

When Gu Yanshu was making those little gadgets in the palace a few days ago, he took in many skilled craftsmen into the palace.

After a period of research and improvement, a wheelchair that meets Gu Yanshu's requirements was actually made.

And because when the wheelchair was made, it happened to be the time when the various houses exchanged New Year's gifts, so Gu Yanshu directly took it as one of the New Year's gifts and sent it to Wen Qingxiao's small courtyard.

Unexpectedly, after Wen Qingxiao received it, she had already put it on.

"It's very easy to use, much lighter than the one Qing Xiao used before."

Wen Qingxiao looked down at the wheelchair under her, and smiled slightly.

Although sitting in a wheelchair is always not as convenient as walking by himself, at least now, he doesn't have to let his servants follow him all the time.

Of course, Gu Yanshu could also see the flash of loneliness in Wen Qingxiao's eyes, and he was silent for a while.

Of course, Gu Yanshu also knew that relying on these external tools was not as convenient as letting Wen Qingxiao recover.

Before improving the wheelchair, Gu Yanshu also asked Gu Yanli about Wen Qingxiao's specific situation, and wanted to see if he could find a way to treat Wen Qingxiao through surgery.

But the conclusions drawn are completely unsatisfactory.

It has to be said that Wen Qingxiao did catch up, the horse's hoof stepped on the ankle bone of Wen Qingxiao's left foot by coincidence.

When hearing this, Gu Yanshu's inner feeling was not very good.

Ankle, this is a very sensitive spot...

At the beginning, Wen Qingxiao was stepped on by a horse's hoof, and even the comminuted fractures were mild.

Even before the end of the world, I am afraid that no hospital can guarantee that there will be no sequelae after surgery for a comminuted ankle fracture, let alone in an era like Tianqi where medical technology is already backward.

Later, through Gu Yanli's description, Gu Yanshu also confirmed his guess.

Wen Qingxiao's ankle is indeed not very good.

Don't think that there is no difference from the outside, but in fact, the bones in Wen Qingxiao's left ankle have already been completely necrotic.

If it wasn't for the emperor's pity, and sending more than half of the imperial physicians from the imperial hospital to treat him, Wen Qingxiao might not even be able to keep her appearance intact.

When Gu Yanli said this, he couldn't continue.

For the next words, Gu Yanshu didn't need to ask any more questions, he already had the answer in his heart:

In a situation like Wen Qingxiao's, if it were placed in the end of the world, it might not be difficult for people with healing abilities to help.

It's a pity that there are no supernatural beings in Tianqi, so even if Gu Yanshu is as talented as Gu Yanshu, in such a situation, he doesn't know what to say to comfort Wen Qingxiao.

Fortunately, Wen Qingxiao had already come out of the pain, the loneliness on his face was just a flash, and then he took the initiative to change the topic:

"I don't know if your Highness saw the scene in the front yard when you came down? The publication of the daily newspaper went much smoother than Qing Xiao and His Highness predicted. The first issue of the daily newspaper was sold out half an hour ago."

Wen Qingxiao took the initiative to change the topic, so Gu Yanshu naturally wouldn't bring it up again, nodded slightly, and directly asked the doubts in his heart:

"I happen to want to tell you this. Why is there such a shortage of the number of the first daily newspaper?"

"Because we all underestimate the influence of teachers."

Wen Qingxiao had already thought about this question before Gu Yanshu came, and had already got the answer.

Gu Yanshu asked subconsciously:

"Lord Pei?"

"When your Highness and Your Highness finalized the printing volume of the first daily newspaper, they only considered the scholars in Beijing and those who could read and write, but completely ignored the status of teachers in the hearts of the people."

Wen Qingxiao nodded slightly, and explained what he observed to Gu Yanshu:

"However, after the news spread that there was an article by the teacher in today's newspapers, and the content was closely related to the imperial examination, many illiterate people also joined in the fun and bought a copy."

Gu Yanshu understood what he said, and at the same time put forward his own point of view:

"In addition to this, the pricing of the newspaper may also be one of the reasons?"

"His Royal Highness sees everything clearly, that is indeed the case."

A newspaper worth five renminbi, even the rice paper needed to buy a newspaper from a nearby store, cost more than five renminbi.

Those illiterate people, when they heard that there were articles by the teacher in today's newspapers, and also heard that a newspaper only costs five cents, they bought it without even thinking about it.

Wen Qingxiao even heard with her own ears the people who came to buy the newspaper that they bluntly said that they were illiterate, and that they came to buy the newspaper entirely because of its low price.

Some people even bluntly said that such a large stack of rice paper can be bought for five renminbi, and even if they can’t read it, it’s a good choice to paste it on the wall.

Although Wen Qingxiao knew that after the newspaper was sold, the person who bought it back could use it anywhere.

Not to mention it is used to paste walls, even if it is used to make toilet paper, it is not something he can say.

But listening to these words, and seeing the disappointed students in the newspaper office who didn't buy the daily newspaper because they came late, Wen Qingxiao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

These newspapers are sold to those who do not know a single word, no matter how you look at it, it is a waste of money.

Thinking of this, Wen Qingxiao inevitably brought up the old story again:

"Why don't you raise the price of this newspaper?"

When hearing the price of the newspaper for the first time, Wen Qingxiao pointed out that the price of five cents a piece was too low. Even if the Holy Spirit valued the daily newspaper, Tianqi's empty treasury would not last long.

The price should be raised upwards, not to make money, but at least to ensure that no loss is made.

At that time, Gu Yanshu thought that when the daily newspaper matured, he would naturally have other income and dismissed it.

This time, Gu Yanshu did not agree with Wen Qingxiao's proposal like last time:

"The price of newspapers cannot be raised upwards."

"But..." Wen Qingxiao frowned slightly, a rare disapproval appeared on his face.

"I know what you think. I'm afraid that in the future, like today, students will not be able to buy newspapers. Instead, illiterate people will buy newspapers because of their low prices, and then use them in other places, such as...pasting walls? "

After Gu Yanshu finished speaking, seeing Wen Qingxiao's reaction, he already had the answer in his heart.

Smiling slightly, without giving Wen Qingxiao a chance to refute, he spoke again:

"Sixth Young Master, there is absolutely no need to worry about this. Even if there is such a situation, it will only be a very small part."

Wen Qingxiao calmed down the emotions in her heart, carefully pondering the meaning of Gu Yanshu's words.

After searching for a while to no avail, he finally raised his eyes to look at Gu Yanshu:

"Why is Your Highness so determined?"

"Five cents for a newspaper, the price is indeed very low, but don't forget, Mr. Liu, our daily newspaper is published every day, five cents a day, fifty cents for ten days, 150 cents for a month, six cents a month. Young Master, you know, what does 150 Wen mean?"

Gu Yanshu didn't even think about it, so he directly settled Wen Qingxiao's account, and finally asked back.

Who knew that after Wen Qingxiao heard this, the doubts on his face became even worse:

"What does it mean?"

Gu Yanshu didn't expect that he had already understood what he said, but Wen Qingxiao still didn't understand.

But soon, Gu Yanshu thought of the reason.

Isn't he the same?In his previous life, since he was born, he was the young master who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

Since he was a child, he went in and out with entourages, attended aristocratic schools, and came and went with people of similar family background as himself.

So before the end of the world, Gu Yanshu never knew that there would be people in the world who would split a dime into two.

You can buy five steamed buns for one yuan, and you can eat them for three days with free pickles.

Wen Qingxiao came from the Wen family, a generation of nobles, so it is quite normal that he has no concept of money.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanshu simply clarified the words to Wen Qingxiao:

"For an ordinary family, 150 Wen is enough for the family's daily expenses for ten days."

Sure enough, after hearing this, Wen Qingxiao's face was full of surprise, obviously feeling a little unbelievable.

But after seeing Gu Yanshu's expression, Wen Qingxiao knew that it shouldn't be a lie.

"So the sixth son thinks, how many families will pay the extra five pennies a day for a newspaper that they don't understand?"

Wen Qingxiao has been smart since she was a child. Although it is inconceivable that 150 Wen is the ten-day expense of an ordinary family, she also understands the meaning of 150 Wen for such a family.

At this time, Wen Qingxiao had to admit that Gu Yanshu was right.

Sensing Wen Qingxiao's expression loosened, Gu Yanshu continued:

"It's not a bad thing if there are people who insist on buying newspapers when they can't read them."

"Huh?" Wen Qingxiao looked up at Gu Yanshu.

"Since Mr. Liu knows the meaning of 150 Wen to an ordinary family, and he insists on buying newspapers every day under such circumstances, he will not just use newspapers to paste the wall, even if it is just to not waste the 150 Wen. They will at least take a look at it before plastering the wall."

"Look at it a few times today, a few times tomorrow, and a few times every day. If you watch a lot, even if you only learn a word, it is still learning."

"The emperor has always been troubled by the low level of education of the people in Tianqi. If the newspapers can be used to subtly increase the knowledge of the people, even if they only know one more word, it will be the success of the newspaper."

These are all issues that Gu Yanshu considered when setting the price.

If Qin Lu could not inherit his father's throne in the future, given the current situation in Prince Li's Mansion, not to mention Qin Lu, even Gu Yanshu would have no way out.

Gu Yanshu felt that he hadn't lived enough in his previous life, but in this life with his lover by his side, how could he feel that he had lived enough?

Gu Yanshu has always been a person who takes one step and sees ten steps.

Since Tianqi's country will definitely be acquired by Qin Lu in the end, from now on, let his little deer live in peace and prosperity, so what?
