The back hall of the workshop.
When Li Zexuan heard that Ma Zhou said that he had published a new page of the newspaper, his eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't wait to say: "Brother Ma, bring it to me quickly!"
"Sir, wait a moment!"
Ma Zhou responded and went to get the materials. After a while, he came in again, handed Li Zexuan a stack of paper, and said, "Sir, this is a new edition of the newspaper made by Ma. Please take a look."
Li Zexuan smiled and nodded, taking it, holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully.
""Detailed explanation of the use of punctuation marks""
This is the first part of the opening chapter of the newspaper. It seems that Ma Zhou was very thoughtful. He wanted people to accept punctuation marks as quickly as possible.
Then there is the literati interactive section. Li Zexuan said before that this section can be supported by classical Chinese, but the content and form have not changed much from the last time.
""On Taizong Shu", your Majesty will submit to those who were not subject to you in ancient times; your Majesty will control those who are not subject to control..."
"The Interpretation of the Zhenguan Laws states: The husband is the third in power, and all things are divided. The aura contains spirit, and people are called the first..."
… ….
Li Zexuan found this part a bit boring and thought to himself: This section is left to the literati of the Tang Dynasty to spit on each other. Anyway, I will never read it in the future.
The second part was about current affairs. Li Zexuan became more energetic and wanted to see what Ma Zhou would write this time. When he saw it, he couldn't take his eyes away.
""Shocked! The murderer was so heartless and crazy, killing everyone!"
This content is quite normal. He just told about a massacre of a family that had just been solved in Xinfeng County not long ago. The process was quite tortuous. Since Ma Zhou did not use classical Chinese this time, Li Zexuan was very interested and read the whole case carefully.
Next.
""Drunken scholar accidentally met a brothel oiran and did such a disgusting thing!"
At first glance at the title, Li Zexuan thought that the drunken scholar had used the strength of his drink to force the brothel courtesan to cross her legs. However, when he looked down, he immediately vomited blood. It turned out that the drunken scholar had just drunk too much and had an urge to urinate. He just peed on the roadside. Unexpectedly, he happened to be caught by a brothel oiran, who scolded the scholar for being vulgar. As a result, the two sides got into a dispute, which finally alarmed the Marquis Wu of Chang'an.
""Marquis Wu of Chang'an rushed to the house of a widow in Zhaozhuang overnight, and this is the reason!"
When you see this title, you will definitely think that Wu Hou went to the widow’s house to have an affair, right? Li Zexuan thought so at the beginning, but it turned out that was not the case. Marquis Wu just went to the widow's house to put out the fire. In fact, this girl's story was just a piece of fire news from beginning to end.
"Shocked! A woman actually did such a thing in broad daylight!"
What's up? You must think it is something embarrassing, right? It turned out that his mother-in-law was just a bit more skilled. She met a thief on the street and instead of being robbed, she captured the thief.
""Shocked! Shocked! The man was silent for a while, and the woman cried after watching it!"
Well, after seeing this, Li Zexuan was already immune. As expected, the content was just a notice that Fantastic Culture paid a lot of money to solicit essays from scholars for a fee. Ma Zhou was trying to cause trouble!
… …
After reading the current affairs news section, Li Zexuan was really shocked and his mouth opened wide. He really wanted to say to Ma Zhou at this moment: "Old Tie 666666666, please come to work in the UC Shock Department tomorrow!"
He couldn't have imagined that Ma Zhou, an ancient cultural man who had received traditional Confucian education, could learn and apply it so quickly based on the shocking words he said last time. This is so damn funny, okay? good
I wonder if Li Er would come and kill himself if he knew that his future prime minister had been trained like this by him!
"How is it? How is it? Sir?"
When Ma Zhou saw that Li Zexuan had finished reading the current affairs news section, he quickly stepped forward and asked with anticipation. For this new version of current affairs news, he thought about what Li Zexuan said that day for a long time before he understood some of the essence, and then tried to change it like this.
Li Zexuan covered his face and said: "Okay, okay! Brother Ma, your changes this time are really great! I really admire you! Just print like this, the faster the better, now we can make paper by ourselves, you'd better Within these two days, let Master Liu arrange for people to print the first batch of newspapers. Print one thousand copies of the first batch. Then remember to recruit a group of children from poor families to help sell newspapers!"
Li Zexuan felt a little embarrassed at the moment. He was such an excellent, honest and kind-hearted man, but why did he become like this? Whose fault is it? It’s not my fault anyway! Master, that was not what I originally meant!
Ma Zhou felt that the expression Li Zexuan looked at him was a little strange, but he couldn't find out where the problem was for the moment, so he could only agree: "Yes, Sir, many technologies in the workshop are now ready, Ma It is estimated that the first batch of newspapers will be produced tomorrow, and they will be sold in Chang'an City the morning after tomorrow!"
Li Zexuan nodded. He had introduced another modern item into the Tang Dynasty. From now on, he could read newspapers when he had nothing to do at home. In this era of extreme lack of entertainment culture, being able to lie on a chair and read a newspaper is already a great enjoyment for Li Zexuan.
"Brother Ma, newspapers and dictionaries are the top priorities of Qiqi Culture's future work. During this period, you should work harder and pay close attention to these two things. After you have been busy for a while, you can go find a group of assistants. , as long as you think it’s suitable, no matter how much it costs, you have to recruit them. This way you won’t have to work so hard in the future.”
Li Zexuan explained.
"Haha, thank you Sir for your concern!"
… … …
Li Zexuan didn't bother to read the last Dahua Jianghu section. Although he had high hopes for this section, because he could read novels from here in the future, but currently there were only novels written by him, which didn't make much sense. ah! After a while, when someone submits an article, he will focus on this section.
Thinking about that time, countless literati were vying to contribute to Qiqi Culture, and countless wonderful novels emerged one after another. All I had to do was stay at home, sleep on the recliner, and listen to Xiao Xi reading novels to me softly, in case I If you are happy to hear it, spend a lot of money to give the novel author a thousand-dollar reward, and ask him to "break the news" for me as soon as possible. Damn it, this kind of life makes me feel so good just thinking about it, isn’t it? This is the life a wealthy second-generation otaku should have!
Li Zexuan couldn't help but drool as he thought about it. He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary!
