Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 257: Melee

Chapter 257 Melee

Wang Anshi was jokingly called a stubborn gentleman, not without reason, his character is very stubborn.

Once he decides something, it is difficult for others to change it.

If he didn't have this personality, there might not be Wang Anshi's reform in history, and he did it with this obsession.

It can be seen that everything has two sides.

In addition, unlike others, Wang Anshi's stubbornness and persistence often have good reasons for him to persist in doing so.

He is not the kind of person who has a bad temper and is unreasonable.

He had cooperated closely with Zhang Fei in the lawsuit, but he chose not to cooperate with Zhang Fei in this matter.

Although there are also reasons for fighting spirit, the main reason is that his ruling philosophy is advocating nationalism.

The state controls everything.

In the end of the lawsuit, it is the government's decision, not Erbi.

But Di Bao lost to the tabloid, regardless of public or private, this is something he cannot tolerate.

His first thought was not to ask Zhang Fei for help, but to go to Jinzouyuan again.

Embracing the principal, Xing Zhi, he just spouted wildly.

The palace newspaper of the imperial court was crushed by the tabloids of the people. You have been playing it for nearly a hundred years, but Zhang Fei has only been running it for half a year, and you are defeated. What are you doing with your trash.

"In the future, all newspapers will be printed instead of transcribed." Wang Anshi said decisively.

Xing Zhi was so trained that he couldn't hold his head up anymore, he stammered: "Scholar Wang, I'm going down."

Wang Anshi said: "What's the matter? The pen and ink are not as good as others, so it's hard to talk now?"

Xing Zhi was sweating profusely: "If you return to the University of Wang, even if we switch to printing, we will not be the opponent of the tabloid."

Wang Anshi was surprised: "Why?"

Xing Zhidao: "I'm dissatisfied with Master Wang. We also studied the tabloid. Judging from their line spacing, ink color, and fonts, they didn't use traditional printing, but movable type printing."

"Movable type?"

Wang Anshi frowned, "I remembered this movable type printing, yes, it is indeed very suitable to use this movable type printing for tabloids, then you should use it too!"

Xing Zhidao: "I don't know if Master Wang knows about it. During the Qingli period, we also tried this movable type printing method, but the printing effect is far inferior to woodblock printing."

Speaking, he took out an engraved almanac and a tabloid from a genuine bookstore, and put the two together, "Scholar Wang, please take a look."

Wang Anshi looked at it and nodded slightly: "Compared with the two, no matter the ink color is uniform or the word spacing is very different!"

Xing Zhidao: "Although the movable type printing in genuine bookstores has improved a lot compared to the Qingli period, it is still not as good as woodblock printing in terms of aesthetics. .

Not only that, movable type printing must be combined with large-scale printing to be cost-effective, otherwise, it will be more time-consuming and labor-intensive than engraving printing. I also have engravings. I asked the lower officials, and the engravings of the imperial court have reached 100,000 editions. "

After hearing this, Wang Anshi showed hesitation again.

Speaking of which, it can't be blamed for entering Zouyuan for not wanting to make progress. They have also tried movable type printing, but there is no need for it.

For written books and articles, engraving should be more beautiful and cost-effective. Temporary ones such as the mansion newspaper were issued occasionally by the imperial court, and they were only distributed to officials. Movable type printing could not reduce costs.

If it can reach thousands of copies, it will be very cost-effective, but why does the imperial court print so many copies of the mansion newspaper.

Xing Zhi said again: "Even if we use movable type printing, we can't compare with those tabloids."

Wang Anshi asked: "How do you say that?"

Xing Zhidao: "We are entering the theater, and every word has to be carefully considered, unlike the tabloids, which can write some sentences to attract people's attention, and our mansion newspaper has to be handed over to it. Only by checking can we decide whether to send or not.”

Wang Anshi nodded thoughtfully, and said to Xing Zhi: "It seems that you have worked hard to study, but no matter what, the imperial court should not lose to the people. Maybe the palace report will be sent to the people in the future. You have to work hard to study this movable type printing."

The corners of Xing Zhi's brows twitched, his eyes sparkled with joy, but he said: "Then the imperial court must allocate money to us first."

Wang Anshi said: "I will play the official game."

Xing Zhi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Grand Master Wang, it won't be long before we enter the Zouyuan and we can surpass the genuine bookstore."

He said this with confidence, because the Song Dynasty itself paid great attention to this scientific research, and the four major inventions were basically carried forward in the Song Dynasty.

The imperial court also has ample talent reserves, whether it is theory or hands-on.

Because all the ministers in this period are all-round players. After all, in this business environment, technology is highly respected.

Movable type printing has not replaced engraving, and it is not because the Song court was unwilling to do it. It has been tried before, but the technology has not made a breakthrough, and the demand is limited.

Then there is the cost.

As long as the funds are in place, everything is easy to talk about.

Wang Anshi was frowning, thinking, I can go to Zhang San for help, but even if I win the article, so what, after my new law is promulgated, if they use tabloids to attack me The new law, that is very unfavorable to my new law. I have to find a way to ban this tabloid, then control the Dibao, and then ask Zhang San for help, and use the Dibao to promote my new law, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort.

Bianjing Law Firm.

"Is selling newspapers so profitable?"

Chen Maoqian looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.

It's only been a few days, and this guy is going to buy a house, and he wants to buy two houses at once, which is a fortune.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It's average, but this is a stable income, and I can also take out a loan to buy a house. How about it, now I live in the house that my father-in-law lives in, can someone outside help me get it. "

Chen Maoqian pondered a little, "Currently, the owner has no idea of ​​buying a house. If you want to buy it, you may have to spend more money."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Go and talk to me first, and at the same time, help me to pay attention to the nearby houses for sale. I don't have to buy those two sets."

Chen Maoqian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you to ask."

After a pause, he said again: "By the way, I am somewhat interested in the movable type workshop you mentioned last time."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Don't you know? Ma Xiaoyi and Cao Yanei have donated a lot of land to set up a charity organization, and then I will invest the money and food left over from the charity organization into a movable type workshop, so for the time being There is no shortage of money."

Chen Maoqian said in surprise: "Xiaoyi? Ya Nei?"

Zhang Fei asked: "Doesn't the staff know?"

Chen Maoqian shook his head, feeling extremely angry in his heart, you, the fourth child, did it secretly without telling me, if you want to monopolize this benefit, I also have sons, and I have more sons than you. He asked again: "How much land did they donate?"

Zhang Fei said: "Twenty hectares."

Chen Maoqian couldn't help but take a deep breath, with a look of hesitation on his face, this donation is too much, if he pays it back.

At this moment, Li Si came into the house, "Third brother, Mr. Su is here."

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, thinking, can he not hold back anymore? He hurriedly said: "Please hurry up."

After listening to Chen Maoqian, it happened that he also wanted to think carefully about the charity organization, so he left.

"Mr. Su, please stay safe."

Zhang Fei cupped his hands and saluted.

Su Shi cupped his hands slightly and said, "I'm here today to ask you, when will my collection of poems be published?"

It really is for this matter. Zhang Fei said: "It should be soon."

It's not ready yet.

Su Shi was slightly dissatisfied and said: "I remember that I was the first to come to you, but your tabloid has published many issues, why has my poetry collection not been published?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "The tabloid happened suddenly. Mr. Su should know the reason. Mr. Su's poetry collections are all made of engravings, which should be more beautiful and well-made. It will take some time. "

Su Shi nodded and asked again: "Your Celebrity Newspaper, can only celebrities publish articles on it?"

Zhang Fei nodded: "Yes."

As I said that, I was also a little worried, yes! Su Shi is still a celebrity, what should we do?

Su Shi blinked, and said: "I think your idea is not very good."

Zhang Fei asked: "How do you say that?"

Su Shi said: "You are a businessman, and you sell newspapers to make money. I'm not wrong."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Of course it is."

Su Shi said again: "I have observed carefully, in fact, it was the first day that attracted the most attention. Among them, Miss Xu's article is indispensable."

As expected of Su Dongpo, compared to me, Zhang Dongpo, I'm not far behind. Zhang Fei pretended to be curious: "Really?"

"If you don't believe me, you can go and ask."

"Why is that?" Zhang Fei asked puzzled.

Su Shi said: "It's very simple. To attract attention, there must be comparisons and controversies. Putting Mrs. Xu's article and Bachelor Sima's article together will naturally cause controversy.

And you, Celebrity News, made the mistake of publishing Han Xianggong's article, which is too authoritative and lacks controversy, so it is difficult to sell well. "

"Mr. Su is right." Zhang Fei nodded thoughtfully, then cupped his hands to Su Shi and said, "I hope Mr. Su can give you some pointers."

Su Shi said: "You can run another newspaper to publish articles by young scholars. When the two views conflict, it will inevitably cause controversy, so that your tabloid can sell well."

Zhang Fei frowned and said, "That's right, but young scholars, who dares to question Han Xianggong's article, who dares to question Sima's article?"

Su Shi glanced at Zhang Fei dejectedly, and said: "When Xianggong Han was young, in the Jianyuan, the four prime ministers fell to the same paper. If Xianggong Han dared to do it, if we dare not do it, wouldn't it be worse than one generation after another? Su Shi dares."

Looking at Su Shi, Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Mr. Su wants to publish his article on the tabloid."

Su Shi chuckled and said, "One kills two birds with one stone."

Han Qi, Sima Guang, and Wang Anshi fought so hard, Su Shi was such a master, his hands were itchy to watch from the sidelines, but Zhang Fei got another famous person to report it.

Su Shi is still the younger brother of the company, but the place of fireworks is a bit famous. This celebrity is not really a celebrity, but who is Su Shi, this difficulty, how can it be difficult for him.

I have to say that Su Shi's idea is really great, and his analysis is very thorough, authority is meaningless, if you can make a youth newspaper, this is really a gimmick.

Too fierce.

In fact, Zhang Fei also planned this way before. He originally wanted to create a battle between the twin stars, but Wang Anshi was not fooled, which made him very depressed.

Singing alone is really not popular.

Zhang Fei asked: "Does Mr. Su have any articles?"

"Yes!"

Su Shi took out an article from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei took it over and looked at it, and sighed in his heart, born in this era, I can only be an article porter!

Su Shi's article is also about the law of servants, but he puts the main argument on the three redundancy, and he blames the heavy taxation of the people on the disaster of the three redundancy.

This ruthless criticism of Han Qi's article is overt and covert.

How do you get relief.

It's just empty talk.

In order to reduce the burden on the people, the court must first save money and solve the disaster of redundancy. This is the fundamental solution.

I have to admit that Su Shi's article hits the nail on the head, and it goes straight to the root, but he has a different idea from Wang Anshi's.

He still takes the throttling route.

But how to solve the disaster of three redundancy, he did not put forward any constructive suggestions.

It can be seen that he just wanted to bully Han Qi, nothing else.

This is also the biggest difference between them and Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi really came up with a solution, and it was systematic, while they just discussed the matter and made small troubles.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Okay, I will help Mr. Su arrange it as soon as possible."
