Chapter 218 What is a newspaper?
"It is said that Chen Sihua will win every battle with Jiannu in Beizhili, and his killing will be overwhelming. In the past, it was considered exaggerated by the outside world. Today, although it was exaggerated, it was very limited." The husband said to himself, and one of the two men in black whispered: "The Duke shouldn't let Wang Ben go, it looks like a hero from the battlefield."
"I'm confused. Which civil servants in Nanjing don't stare at our mansion like guarding against thieves? Such talents are left in their hands and are the result of being traitors. It's better to give Chen Xie a favor, and don't have money."
"So, did the Duke of the State recognize Chen's statement?" Xu Hongji looked ruthless and harsh: "What if you don't recognize him? Don't let him open a semicolon in Nanjing? Do you believe it or not? I'll let him go and find a message today. Tomorrow, half of the people in Nanjing will treat me as an enemy."

After getting off the pleasure boat and walking up the stone bridge, two women in plain clothes slowly walked along the stone path towards the yard behind the bamboo forest. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the yard, they saw two strong men standing at the door of the yard next door more than ten steps away. The decoration looked familiar.
Zheng Tuo Niang said strangely: "Why do you see someone like Sihua?" Liu Rushi also glanced at him and said: "That's right, it's his."
While hesitating whether to go over and take a look, the fake lady in the door quickly came out and said, "My mother is here, I'm really grateful this time. Chen Sihua is really a big deal. He got up early in the morning and asked someone to go to Mr. Xie's house next door. After a while, Mr. Xie took his concubine Zhuer and left. He didn't take anything at home, and all the maids and servants were left. After careful investigation, he found out the number."
The fake lady showed a mysterious gossip expression, and Liu Rushi said strangely: "Is it five thousand taels?" The fake lady said: "There are 10,000 silver dollars in total, and two big boxes were packed. Just now, less than a moment ago, the soldiers were still putting boxes into the yard. I counted for a while, but I didn't count them. Hundreds of boxes were all dead. Have you heard of it? Since the beginning of the month, I have no cash registers for American goods, only cash registers, and one silver dollar is used for one tael of silver."
Zheng Tuo Niang's pride on her face was visible to everyone. She raised her chin slightly and snorted, "The old guy named Xie is a bargain." Everyone knows that this house does not cost 6,000 taels of silver at all. How much is the value of the talent?
Liu Rushi thought of going elsewhere and frowned and said, "These are soldiers, how can they enter the city?"
Zheng Tuoni smiled and said, "Sihua is now the general of Dengzhou Town, and hundreds of servants can always take care of him. He heard that he came to Nanjing to graduate from prison. It has been two years since the three years of work, and he has only graduated from now on. He really didn't take this student seriously."
As soon as he entered the yard, he heard the sound of horse hooves from afar. Zheng Tuo Niang, who was a little tempted to marry, couldn't help but jogging out and looked at the four-wheeled carriage. Liu Rushi canceled: "My brother-in-law has only been out for a while, and she is so eager to see her." Zheng Tuo Niang smiled and didn't explain, thinking in her heart that it was the lingering feeling of last night. She tasted the taste of yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu
The sound of horse hooves in Tata Tower, more than twenty strong horses were parked in front of the door, and Cui Xin on one side had bruises on his face, and he jumped down to open the door. When Chen Xie came down, he saw Zheng Tuoniang standing against the door, as if she was so beautiful, with eager expectations in her eyes and warmth in her heart.
A woman said good fortune together, and Chen Xie stepped forward and said, "I'm afraid you'll be anxious, so I'll come back first. Leave the old money to quarrel with them. The business matters are a bit vulgar, so I won't tell you in detail."
Zheng Tuoni came in with Chen Xie. Along the way, a group of maids bowed, but the fake mother did not dare to stand on the steps and waited in front of the door outside the hall.
Chen Xie followed into the inner courtyard, Jiangnan mansion, with a winding stone path, and a view of it step by step. The courtyard is not down, but it looks like seven or eight acres. There is such a house on the Qinhuai River, which is quite valuable.
"You bought the house next door, but it took a lot of money to waste. Why bother? I can't live there." After entering the door and going into the boudoir, Zheng Tuoniang said, handing over the prepared hot towel. The sound was soft like the glutinous rice in Huzhou rice dumplings, and everyone was about to melt it. Chen Xie wiped his face and sighed: "This Qinhuai River is so good, but I don't dare to stay for too long. After a long time, people will melt in this intoxicating fragrance."
Zheng Tuo Niang didn't ask when he heard that he didn't mention the matter of the house next door, but instead felt nervous when she said this: "Why, are you leaving?" Chen Xie shook his head: "It's not that fast, I have to go to see the Grand Master a few days later. If there is no urgent task, I have to stay for a month." As she said that she saw that her eyes were a little red, she stood up and hugged her shoulders and said softly: "You can go with me or stay and do something for me."
Zheng Tuoniang hugged the man's waist sideways, pressed her face against her chest and whispered: "I can't do anything except write a few wrong poems. I can't cook any food well, can I help you?"
Chen Xie said: "Why can't it be? Nanjing literati gathers. I'm really suitable for you to handle this matter. You don't have to come forward to do specific things. Just ask some literati to write articles and post them in newspapers. Every month, every five or ten newspapers are released, and literati who write articles are not in vain, and they count money according to the number of words."
"Newspaper? What is a newspaper? I have seen the newspaper, but I have never heard of it." Zheng Tuo Niang became curious and stared at Chen Xie again, waiting for his explanation. This man, I won't say anything about it, and can make people willing to die in his arms. The rest of his abilities are endless. He can fight and write poems when he gets off the horse. What newspaper should he do now?
"The format is similar to the Dibao, but it is different. Sit down and listen to me tell you slowly." Chen Xie smiled and pressed her to sit down, took out the bag, took out the paper and pen, and drew a sketch on it, saying, "Look, it's probably like this. The content is not limited, and everything can be uploaded. The current current affairs are in the first page, and the content can be reproduced from the Dibao. Some major events can be asked to comment on them. The general idea is to give everyone a place to talk and discuss. The content after the second page will be mixed, including various markets, interesting news on the world, poetry and lyrics, and these contents. I plan to leave three pages. There are four pages in total. After it comes out, some children will be hired as newspaper boys to deliver newspapers, wine shops, teahouses, and pleasure boats. Wherever people go, I don't have money to read for everyone for half a year."
Before Zheng Tuoni could speak, Liu Rushi came up at the entrance of the corridor exclaimed: "Brother-in-law, this cost a lot of money. Paper, ink, stereotyped, artificial, everything costs money."
Chen Xie glanced at this small and delicate woman and thought to herself that she was a savage man. Seeing that she had a close relationship with Zheng Tuoni, she never went back to her own pleasure boat or the main place. Doesn’t the family need her to earn money? Chen Xie said with confidence and said, “Having mastered newspapers and channels means mastering the right to speak. This newspaper is for people to read. You can also set up some newspaper reading columns in the city, hire some literati from poor families to read newspapers in the newspaper column every day. If we don’t say it, no one knows that they have collected the money.”
Both women have a delicate heart. Chen Xie understood what he said. But in this city, how many wineries, teahouses, and pleasure boats are needed? They are all given away for free, and the sea of silver flowers has gone.
"Sihua, you have thought about it. In this Nanjing city, there are only a thousand pleasure boats, and the wineries and teahouses are full of two or three thousand. Even if there are three thousand copies per issue, it is a large number. The manuscripts are easy to say. I am worried that these rigid craftsmen will not be busy." After Zheng Tuoniang said this, Liu Rushi also echoed: "What my sister said is that this rigidity is a meticulous work. If one word is engraved incorrectly, the other board will be abolished."
Chen Xie laughed when he heard this, stood up and said, "Let's go ahead and lead the way. Let's go to the back garden to see things in the house next door."
The two women were curious and went downstairs together. The maid was also called. She walked to the back garden and looked at the yard opposite the wall. Zheng Tuoniang said strangely: "There is no door, how can I get there?"
Chen Xie smiled and shouted to the next yard: "Tell me a ladder, let's go." After that, he said to Zheng Tuoni, "Call someone tomorrow, open the door on the yard wall to facilitate your contacts. Can two families be a good place to build a family?"
Zheng Tuo Niang said, "I have to ask the fake mother. She is not easy to talk to and accept the money." Chen Xie smiled and said, "Tell her that I have bought this house and live for free. It's okay to live for as long as she wants. It's just a matter of living in an account."
Zheng Tuoni said, "This is why I am afraid that these soldiers in the next yard will not be able to meet each other."
Chen Xie said, "They don't live here, I only bring my personal guards to live here. Besides, with you next door, I won't be stupid enough to stay alone in the empty room." Speaking of this, Liu Rushi took over and said, "Since my brother-in-law said that, it's better to let the soldiers on the opposite side take out a door and carry the things over. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for those who climb high and low."
Chen Xie thought about it, and patted his forehead and said, "I'm confused, why do you want to overturn the wall of the yard?" Zheng Tuo Niang covered her mouth and smiled in a low voice: "I'll ask someone to invite my mother."
Chen Xie shouted next door and started to demolish the wall after a while. The fake girl who was fooling here rolled in. When she saw Chen Xie, she said, "Master Chen, the earth is shaking, is it going to demolish the house?"
Chen Xie smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. I have bought this house too. I will live with you in the future. You have the final say in the house. I will not go to the pleasure boat again. I will admit how much money you said you would want."
At this time, Liu Rushi played the role of a 25-year-old boy in time and said, "Brother-in-law, this house is not worth ten thousand taels."
Chen Xie said softly to Zheng Tuoni: "I am the one who makes the decision, can't help but feel soaked in honey. He smiled sweetly: "I have a bad temper. Thanks to my tolerant mother, I can't help but have a place to stand on this Qinhuai River."
Chen Xie understood and said to his fake mother: "I'll make an integer, 20,000 silver dollars, you can just want silver. When you look back, everything is the same, just treat the next door as a workshop, and the deeds on both sides are collected by Tuo Niang." r1152
