If the Cui family wanted the northern market, the Wang family might agree because they were worried about the Cui family's power.
It's simply impossible in the South.
If the Wang family agrees, what will other aristocratic families think of them?
For aristocratic families, face is more important than money.
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "Then let's give the Cui family some color first and let them know that the Wang family is not easy to bully. But we must have a certain degree of control."
Wang Yuan still didn't want to break up with the Cui family unless forced to do so.
"Dad, what should Lin Xuan do?" Wang Duo asked.
Wang Yuan pondered for a while and said: "Don't touch him for now. Let's talk about it later."
"Wang Ze is a waste. He can't handle such a small thing well. Head of the family, why don't you change someone else?" Wang Kuan suggested.
The position of chief of Chang'an is very popular, and Wang Ze is not from his line. It would be great if Wang Ze could be replaced by someone from his line.
Wang Yuan glanced at Wang Kuan and said calmly: "Although Wang Ze made a mistake this time, the time was too short and he was not prepared. The failure is excusable, and it is not suitable to replace him now. Let him take the blame first and make meritorious service."
"
How could he not know what Wang Kuan had planned, and how could he possibly get his way?
…
"Ding~, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in, and you will be rewarded with a mountain bike!"
Lin Xuan looked at the bicycle in front of him and was completely stunned.
Damn it, I already have a BMW like Shicong, what kind of bike do I want?
The sign-in at the beginning of September was not as good as the usual snacks.
No, this thing is a rare commodity in the Tang Dynasty.
The technology of the Tang Dynasty cannot be made at all. Let alone precision things like bearings, iron of this strength cannot be smelted now.
The ancient iron and steel are all weak.
Lin Xuan thought about melting the bicycle to make weapons and armor or something.
Magical weapons like the bright silver gentian gun are probably incomparable.
After thinking about it, Lin Xuan gave up this tempting idea.
This is the only bicycle, and I don’t know whether I can get it again in the future.
It's better to keep it and ride it for now. There's no way to repair it in ancient times anyway. We'll wait until it breaks.
Lin Xuan found a deserted place and took out the bicycle.
This bike is all black and very cool.
"It's a pity that we can't bring anyone with us." Lin Xuan shook his head.
It would be great if I could bring someone with me. I thought about riding a bicycle in Datang with Li Lizhi sitting behind me. It was very interesting.
Lin Xuan pushed the bicycle, ready to go out and try it out. It had been a long time since he had ridden this thing, and he felt a little nostalgic.
"Sir, what is this?" Chunyue looked at the bicycle and asked curiously.
"This is a bicycle." Lin Xuan thought that Chunyue didn't know what a bicycle was, and said, "You will know if you come with me and take a look."
The roads in the Lin family's house are all built with cement.
Lin Xuan pushed the bicycle out of the yard. Under Chunyue's surprised eyes, Lin Xuan stared at the pedals and the bicycle started to move.
Lin Xuan ignored Chunyue's surprise and rode his bicycle towards the gate.
The servants and soldiers along the way opened their mouths when they saw this scene.
They really couldn't figure out how this unknown thing could survive and run so fast with people.
Is it possible that my young master is a god?
Lin Xuan felt that riding at home was not satisfying at all, so he rode to the door and ordered his soldiers to gather, preparing to go out on the road to try.
Before the soldiers could gather together, the concierge came to report that Xu Jingzong was here.
"Invite people to my yard." Lin Xuan had no choice but to give up his enthusiasm for going out for a ride.
Lin Xuan rode his bike back to the yard, causing a group of people to be stunned along the way.
Lin Xuan put the car away, told Chun Yue to make tea, and waited for Xu Jingzong in the living room.
Not long after, the servants led Xu Jingzong in.
Xu Jingzong looked happy and held a large folded piece of paper in his hand.
Is it possible that the newspaper was printed?
"Xu Jingzong has met the Marquis!"
"No need to be polite, Sir Xu, please sit down!" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Waving his hand to the servant leading the way, Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Master Xu, what's the matter with you?"
Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "Master Hou, the newspaper has been printed, and I would like to ask Master Hou to correct it!"
"Oh? Let me take a look." Lin Xuan said.
Xu Jingzong stood up, held the newspaper in both hands, and handed it to Lin Xuan.
Rights are really a good thing. No wonder so many people like to pursue rights.
Although Lin Xuan doesn't have much desire for power, he still feels a little strange when he sees famous people in history treating him with such respect.
Shaking his head and putting these thoughts aside, Lin Xuan unfolded the newspaper and started reading.
Soon, Lin Xuan frowned.
Xu Jingzong asked in a low voice: "Master Hou, what's wrong?"
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Let me take a look before talking."
He frowned because the title in the newspaper was the same size as the content, which looked a bit awkward.
However, the current font sizes are all the same, and we have to wait until a larger set is made in the future before changing them.
Xu Jingzong did exactly what Lin Xuan said, but in terms of the title and content, Xu Jingzong still missed the point.
After reading it, Lin Xuan rubbed his head and thought about what to say.
Xu Jingzong asked with some expectancy: "Master Hou, how are you?"
Lin Xuan pondered for a while and said: "There are many questions, let's just talk about the title. I told you before, the title must be attractive. Look at the title you gave, some anecdotes about the imperial examination, some Zhenguan regulations. That's it.
I don’t even have the desire to read anymore.”
There is not much content in the newspaper this time, there are only four articles, namely an article by Kong Yingda, introducing punctuation marks, a massacre, and about the imperial examination.
The title of Kong Yingda's article is definitely not appropriate, and the detailed explanation of punctuation marks is not necessarily exaggerated, but the other two can be exaggerated, otherwise how can it be attractive?
Xu Jingzong said humbly: "Please give me some advice!"
Lin Xuan said: "Like this tragedy, the title can be written directly: Shock! The murderer was so heartless and crazy!"
"As for the title of the imperial examination, you can write: In the morning, you will be a farmer, and in the evening, you will ascend to the emperor's hall. The imperial examination is the common people's way to become an official!"
Xu Jingzong asked hesitantly: "Master Hou, isn't this a bit exaggerated?"
The massacre was nothing more than a quarrel between two families, and one of them took advantage of the situation and killed the other young couple.
Although the title Lin Xuan mentioned was a bit exaggerated, he could still accept it, but he could not accept the title of the imperial examination.
It’s just that I passed the exam as a boy student. How many more exams will I take in the future? How come I’m already in the Emperor’s Hall?
Lin Xuan said with hatred: "Are you saying that a title like this is not attractive? If you were an ordinary citizen and heard a title like this, would you want to take a look?"
Xu Jingzong nodded.
"That's it, isn't it that the imperial examination will lead to an official position? We are just exaggerating now, what's the problem?" Lin Xuan said.
Xu Jingzong's mouth twitched, is this called a little bit?
"There is also this article. The protagonist's life experience is not miserable enough, and there is no sense of substitution. In addition, it is not only necessary to write about his life experience, but also the benefits of him passing the Tongsheng examination. The most important thing is that His Majesty reformed the imperial examination so that
The poor family in the world has its day of success. This must be written down in a big way!"
The candidate selected by Xu Jingzong was a former Sui official. Although his family is now in decline and his family owns dozens of acres of land, do you expect such a person to make ordinary people feel like they have a sense of belonging?
Xu Jingzong said with some grievance: "Master Hou, the problem is that all the families in Chang'an County who have passed the Tongsheng Examination are OK, this is the worst."
Lin Xuan said angrily: "Wouldn't you be able to make it up without you?"
