That night, Zhang San sat in his study, composing words and sentences, preparing to write a letter for Fang Yiai to hand over to Fang Keying. Adhering to the principle of leniency for frankness and leniency for refusal, Zhang San described everything that happened in Pingkangfang.
Written down.
The autumn wind swept the fallen leaves. When Zhang San woke up early in the morning, he felt that the weather was getting colder and colder. He added an extra layer of clothing. After breakfast, he got on a carriage and headed to Chang'an Sanwei Bookstore.
Sanwei Bookstore was particularly lively today. Many people gathered at the door, holding a piece of paper in their hands and talking about it.
Zhang San came to the door of the bookstore and saw so many people. He was very curious. Is there any activities in the bookstore? If there were any activities, Zhang San would definitely praise shopkeeper Sun regardless of whether the activities were good or bad. After all, he knew how to use his little brain to do it.
Advertised.
When I took a closer look, I was stunned. I saw four big characters written on this piece of paper "Sanwei Monthly". Another brother has traveled through time?
Zhang San didn't read the content carefully and hurriedly ran into the bookstore to find shopkeeper Sun and asked what was going on with this monthly magazine.
"Sir, you are here, please take a seat." Sun Tao was surprised when he saw Zhang San coming in in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
"Eunuch Sun, why are you here?" Zhang San came in and saw that Sun Xi was also there. He didn't answer Sun Tao's words and asked curiously.
"Our family has met Uncle Zhang. The main reason we came here this time is because the Holy Spirit asked me to send a batch of monthly magazines, and then..." Sun Xi was interrupted by Zhang San before he could finish his words: "This monthly magazine is from Li...
Was it done by the emperor?"
"Naturally, the emperor admired the 'Political Through Train' leaflet weekly written by Uncle Zhang in Xuzhou, so he borrowed it and prepared to write a monthly magazine and put it in Sanwei Bookstore for passers-by to see, so as to publicize the imperial policies and other matters
."
After listening to Sun Xi's answer, Zhang San couldn't help but admire Li Shimin's stupidity. He originally thought that some time traveler had come, but Li Shimin had created his feelings, and the source was himself.
As for why it is called a monthly magazine, the main reason is that Li Shimin felt that he could not do the same thing as Zhang San. I am the emperor and want to be bigger than you, so... okay! Zhang San is also speechless, so you should make a daily magazine. This will be the biggest advantage to me.
Zhang San did not dare to comment on Li Shimin, but this method is also very good. It is much better than posting notices at the city gate. In addition, after Zhang San briefly browsed the above content, it is concise and easy to understand. It is not full of praises and rhetoric, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
When I read it, I had no idea what it was talking about.
One of the pages is about the imperial court sending Zhang San to Xuzhou to provide disaster relief. However, the protagonist Zhang San has become a supporting role. It reflects how Li Shimin promoted talents in an eclectic way and selected talents. There was a word in it that Zhang San saw.
Li Shimin's intention was immediately understood.
When introducing Zhang San’s background, I specifically pointed out that Zhang San came from a poor family. It seems that he was treated as a pawn again this time!
Zhang San dared to bet a dime, but Li Shimin definitely wanted to label Zhang San as a scholar from a "poor family", and then encourage more scholars from poor families to join the service of the imperial court.
At the same time, it also shows those noble families that children from poor families are not useless and can also make contributions.
The emergence of Sanwei Monthly also benefited from Zhang San's creation of more and better cheap paper, and the invention of movable type printing also made this possible.
Otherwise, it would not be easy for Li Shimin to rely on the original woodblock printing.
"Eunuch Sun, why is this monthly magazine called Sanwei Monthly? Is it still here with us?" Zhang San asked.
"Our family doesn't know about this. We are just following orders." Sun Xi replied.
Seeing that things were almost done and more people were watching at the door, Sun Xi said goodbye to Zhang San and returned to the palace.
After Sun Xi left, Zhang San asked Sun Tao: "Shopkeeper Sun, do you know this Eunuch Sun?"
"Go back to Sir, how can I know the people in the palace? I just opened the door this morning, and this Eunuch Sun came over with these things. He said that they were ordered by the emperor. What kind of trial should we use here to see the reaction?
, You said that even a small child wouldn’t dare to stop it, right?” Sun Tao said with a bitter smile.
"Oh, that's okay. Let's leave it here. Let's do what they say."
Zhang San walked to the backyard and looked around. Shopkeeper Sun was accompanying him.
"Shopkeeper Sun, is the bookstore running well during my absence? Have you encountered any problems?" Zhang San asked.
"The problem is not a problem. There is no bookstore in Chang'an that is our opponent at the moment. In addition, everyone knows that there are not only you behind the bookstore, but also several other gentlemen, so no one dares to come here to cause trouble. But there is a little
question."
"What little problem?"
"It's just that the original space in the reading room was too small. Whenever Master came to give lectures, the entire bookstore was packed with people. So do you think we should control the number of people attending the lectures?"
"There is no need to control the number of people, just stick to the first-come, first-served principle. In addition, when you come back, you can talk to Changsun Chong and see if the other unused shop can be used as a reading room and a teaching place. This way, it can be separated to avoid affecting the normal life of the bookstore.
Work."
Originally, a few people were planning to open a wine shop and restaurant, but Zhang San was always busy and didn't have time to do it. Therefore, there were still two of the three shops left untouched. Zhang San decided to use one first.
It should be turned into a reading room, or a "library", specifically for people to read books for free.
…
In the Zichen Palace, Li Shimin listened to Sun Xi's report and waved him down. He thought for a while and said to Xu Huang: "You asked the men of Baiqisi to keep an eye on Sanwei Bookstore. Anyone who rushes to cause trouble or destroy those monthly magazines will be punished."
I will arrest them secretly, and also set up monthly publication points in several prefectures and counties around Chang'an. I want more people to see these monthly magazines and know what is written on them."
"This is the Emperor. I will give you the order right now." Xu Huang bowed and accepted the order and exited the Zichen Palace.
"Old fox, I will not only cut off your tail, but also cut off your limbs to see how you still jump around in front of me." Li Shimin said to himself.
Zheng Xuan couldn't sleep all night these days, especially in the days after Zhang San came back. Things happened to him one after another. During the last morning court meeting, Li Shimin dismissed several officials from aristocratic families. Especially since that time, Cui Dian and himself
There was also a gap between them.
Later, Li Shimin seemed to have opened a new door, using various methods that made it difficult for people to guard against.
Looking at the Sanwei Monthly in his hand, Zheng Xuan looked bitter. This is not giving the family any way to survive!
Zheng Xuan recalled that since the arm wrestling match with Li Shimin, the family had been firmly in control of Li Shimin. However, since the beginning of this year, the family had suffered setbacks one after another. Calculating carefully, it seems that it started when the boy was named the Wannian County Male.
At that time, he and Cui Dian didn't take it seriously. They regarded Zhang San as an ant that could be crushed to death at will. They were negligent for a moment, but now they were bitten by this ant and screamed in agony.
…
Zhang San stayed at Sanwei Bookstore for a while, and then went to the house with Zhang Fu. When he learned that Fang Yiai and Fang Xuanling were not at the house, Zhang San left the letter with the concierge and asked him to hand it over when Fang Yiai came back.
Give it to him.
When he arrived, Zhang San was already prepared. He wrote two letters and put the letter to Fang Keying inside. Fang Yiai would know when he saw it.
