Chao Yong asked everyone to wiggle their fingers for a while before he remembered the addition and subtraction formula. He wrote the formula for everyone to copy and remember.
Before I knew it, a very mentally retarded morning passed.
Chao Yong was already in the sky, so he said: "You all go back. Come to the hall again at Shen Shi. If you have nothing to do, just remember these things."
The group of people were already a little dizzy from carrying the words, so they could rest after listening to it and hurriedly stood up and thanked the prince.
Hu Sanniang saw Chao Yong coming in with a painful look on his face and said with a smile: "I heard from Xiao Qing that the prince taught those people the number of beams. It seems that the situation is not good."
Chao Yong said painfully: "A bunch of fools, I taught them such a simple method, but they still have to count on their fingers."
Xiaoqing curled her lips and said: "Of course we can't compare with the prince. I went to see it. How can I calculate it without counting my fingers?"
"I went to the hot springs and I was exhausted."
Only then did Chao Yong realize that it was too painful to talk about arithmetic with people of this era. Except for people like the divine fortune teller Jiang Jing who were proficient in arithmetic, most people could only live by counting on their fingers.
When Chao Yong was sitting by the pool with his eyes closed and relaxing, a pair of jade hands placed on Chao Yong's temples and massaged them gently.
Chao Yong didn't need to turn around to know that it was Sanniang who was gentle and considerate. He groaned comfortably and said, "Sanniang's kung fu has improved. She squeezes me so much."
Hu Sanniang stood outside and was being kneaded by Chao Yong, and said with a smile: "There are massage doctors and health masseurs in the palace. I asked them for some tips."
Chao Yong also knew that massage was a thing of traditional Chinese medicine, but he didn’t expect it to be available so early.
In fact, in the Wei, Jin, Sui, and Tang dynasties, there were massage departments, and a corresponding massage medical policy was established. In the Song Dynasty, massage was even used to induce labor.
Hu Sanniang pressed it for a while, and Chao Yong felt refreshed.
In the afternoon, Chao Yong went to Yanfu Hall to teach addition and subtraction. In fact, there was nothing to teach them. The rest was that practice makes perfect. Chao Yong did not intend to teach them any advanced mathematics, because he needed some now.
Bill clerks who can keep accounts, not mathematicians.
Of course, Chao Yong’s mathematical skills may not be able to teach mathematicians.
At the end of the day, there were already about ten people ready to write numbers, do addition and subtraction relatively quickly, and of course still have to count on their fingers.
Towards evening, Chao Yong went to the capital to enter the Memorial Hall.
It was almost time for the palace gates to close, but it was very busy entering the memorial hall. Many people were immersed in verifying the news, and some were busy typing the papers.
Chao Yong quietly entered the house with his personal eunuch He Yong and observed the newspaper distribution agency.
An official suddenly raised his head and saw Chao Yong and He Yong. He also knew that the person who could enter the courtyard quietly must have an extraordinary identity. He raised his hand and said, "Is this sir on official business?"
He Yong said hurriedly: "The prince will not let your officers come in front of me."
When everyone in the room heard that the prince was coming, they hurriedly put down their work and ran forward to greet him.
Chao Yong said hurriedly: "No need to be polite, you are busy with your business."
Although the prince said this, no one dared to do it, and they all greeted him.
The official Jinzou ran out of the back room and saw that it was the prince who had previously been under house arrest. He hurriedly said: "I didn't know that the prince was coming. I missed him from a distance. I hope the prince will forgive me."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "No need to be polite, have you prepared the layout for tomorrow's Di newspaper?"
The Jinzou official didn't know what Chao Yong meant, so he said anxiously: "Not yet, I will bring the news to be sent tomorrow to the prince for review."
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "No, I'm here to ask you to add an advertisement."
The official Jinzou asked suspiciously: "This official is stupid. He doesn't know what advertising is?"
Chao Yong also read a Di newspaper, which contained the emperor's edicts, the emperor's daily life, the appointment and dismissal of officials, ministers' memorials, battle reports, punishments, etc. It can be said to be a completely official newspaper, and it also reports good news but not bad news.
, it is strictly prohibited to publish some content that is not beneficial to the court, such as disasters, military information, court affairs, and official regulations that have not been approved and published.
After the world is unified, Chao Yong also considers adding some things that are in dire straits for foreign people. Firstly, it can satisfy the people of his own country and let them know how happy it is to be born in Daliang. Secondly, it can also inspire some "noble" people to save the people of other countries.
**, which laid the ideological foundation for his future expeditions.
"The Royal Ticket Office will open in three days. I want you to write it in the Di newspaper."
Jinzou Guan asked curiously: "Don't you know the official duties of this royal ticket number?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "It's either the court department or the royal family's business. People can go to the royal bank to save money, or they can borrow money from the royal bank. The monthly interest on deposits is three cents, and the monthly interest on borrowed money is one cent. Borrow.
Money needs something to pledge, and for the time being we only accept house deeds, land deeds, and gold, silver and jewelry. In fact, it is similar to a pawn shop, with the addition of an additional item for depositing money."
The official Jinzou said with a troubled expression: "I understand, the prince's request is the same as that of the shops recommended by the tabloid. It's just that the newspaper in the past published only the political affairs of the court, and if it published the royal ticket number, it would probably be impeached by the imperial censor.
"
Chao Yong wondered: "What tabloid?"
"Tabloids are newspapers published by the private sector. Some of the news published are court news spied on by the newspaper owners, and some comments on political affairs. They even publish some things about the emperor and ministers. Because many of them are fabricated, there are also some news
It was forbidden by the imperial court to spread.
Therefore, the imperial court has always banned tabloids. However, because tabloids are very popular among the people, they have been banned repeatedly, and their circulation is larger than that of Di Bao. Sometimes businessmen will pay people to write some travel notes, poems, etc., praising their shops, but
I won’t write directly about their shops.”
Chao Yong nodded and said: "How many copies of Di Bao can be issued?"
Jinzhuo Guan said: "After we typeset it, it will be sent to the state capitals, and they will then print the statistics for the whole country. In Tokyo, we print a thousand copies a day, mainly for princes, nobles and court officials. However, there are people in the city who specialize in copying.
The newspaper is sold, and the wealthy households and scholars in the city will read the newspaper, there should be tens of thousands of copies."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "That's enough. Let's publish it in the Di newspaper. It will be published for me tomorrow. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will settle the account with him."
When the official Jinzou heard what Chao Yong said, he hurriedly said: "Okay, I will ask someone to write it now. It just so happens that tomorrow's publication will not contain the emperor's edict, so I will put the news on the first page."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Well, that's right, then I'll wait and see tomorrow's newspaper."
"Prince, don't worry, I will definitely get the job done."
Chao Yong nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave first."
The Jinzou officer hurriedly sent Chao Yong out.
The official in charge of the paperwork saw the official returning and said with a sad face: "How should I write this news?"
The official Jinzou thought for a while and said: "You can write this as the benevolent government of the royal family. People can earn interest when they save money, and the interest on borrowing money is lower than that of pawn shops. Isn't this benevolent government? The prince just told me the address. Turn around.
Please add the address." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
