Chapter 879

Li Chengqian suddenly looked embarrassed. He took the initiative to contact Confucian journals. On the one hand, he wanted to show kindness to Confucianism, on the other hand, he brought income to the post station. Confucian journals only have 300000 copies per issue, which is nearly 15000 yuan a year.

Merton looked at Li Chengqian's unnatural face and couldn't help laughing and said, "why do you think I'm such a stingy person and want the post station to enjoy the channel of the post station alone? The more arguments, the more clear it is. Although the ideas of Confucianism and ink are different, it's a long way to publish them at the same time and confirm each other."

Li Chengqian was relieved. It was Merton's idea that he could make such achievements. If Merton was angry, it would be difficult to ask him for help next time.

Merton said with a smile, "this is not the limit of the post station. In the future, with the increase of literate people, it is not impossible for a single newspaper to exceed one million, and there will be more than Confucianism and ink at that time."

The circulation record of newspapers and periodicals in later generations exceeded one million, and they were all daily newspapers. For example, Confucianism and ink magazines had hundreds of thousands of copies in each issue. They seemed to be many, but they were all periodicals. If they were shared equally, they would be just tabloids with daily sales of 180000 copies, which took advantage of the only two in Datang.

By the way, there's another good news today. I'm afraid the post station will increase Wanguan's profit every year in the future. " Merton said mysteriously.

"Oh?" Li Chengqian couldn't help but look happy.

Merton explained: "ink magazines are about to be split, and the legalist column should be published separately. Over time, the post station will carry the three newspapers of Confucianism, ink and law at the same time. Isn't it another income.

"Legalists publish newspapers." Li Chengqian dare not buy channels. The legal column is a very popular section in Mexican magazine. Whenever reporting unjust, false and wrong cases, it will cause a great sensation. Who would have thought that Mexican magazine should talk about its separation.

What shocked Li Chengqian even more was that the most prominent Confucianism, Mohism and Dharma of the hundred schools of thought had published newspapers to publicize their ideas. Would there be other hundred schools of thought that would publish newspapers one after another? "

Merton looked at Li Chengqian as if he saw the idea in Li Chengqian's heart, smiled and said, "this is natural. In the future, the prosperity of doctors will also produce a medical newspaper, and so will the farmers. Apart from others, it is not difficult for each road to produce its own newspaper. In the future, the post station will wait until it sits on the ground to collect money!"

Li Chengqian's heart flashed a hidden worry. Although the post station reform has received a lot of praise, it has allowed the people all over the world to communicate freely, and it is easier to accept the information of newspapers and magazines, making all kinds of news more open, which is not in line with his royal education.

However, hearing the broad prospects described by Merton, his hidden worries were immediately cleared away. At least this time, he solved the bottomless hole of the post station for the imperial court and benefited the people all over the world.

Suddenly, a post servant rushed into the post station, rushed to Li Chengqian and bowed down and said, "inform your highness, there is an urgent report from Jiuhua mountain that your majesty has returned from his trip."

"Father emperor returns to the palace!" Li Chengqian was flustered. He advocated the post station reform this time. However, without Li Shimin's consent, although he has made certain achievements, how can anyone not be flustered in the face of Li Shimin's strong emperor and father.

Merton also felt guilty. When Li Shimin left Beijing, he asked him not to make small moves. However, he joined Li Chengqian to carry out a vigorous post station reform. I'm afraid he will be settled by citizen Li in the autumn in the future.

"Don't worry, the reform of the post station is beneficial to the country and the people. Even if your majesty returns, he can't find anything wrong." Merton said with a righteous look.

"I hope so!" Li Chengqian was no longer full of confidence. He was suffering from injustice. He always wanted to be recognized by Li Shimin. However, when he really did things, he found that he was still difficult to please his father's shadow.

"How long will your majesty return to Chang'an City?" Li Chengqian frowned.

The post soldier said solemnly, "according to the foot journey, it will take up to three days."

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "the post station will organize all the documents into a book. Three days later, the palace will personally apologize to his father."

"Yes, your highness!" the head of the post station respectfully said.

When Merton heard Chengqian plead guilty, he frowned slightly, opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

Three days later, hundreds of officials gathered under the gate of Chang'an city. Li Chengqian, the leader, looked young but strong.

"Come, come!"

Among the officials, there was a noise. On the brick road in the distance, a team of carriages were speeding up, and on both sides, the two teams of cavalry defended each other.

The brick road under Chang'an city was particularly flat. The motorcade soon reached the gate. The carriage stopped and Li Shimin appeared in front of all the officials.

"Supply the father back to the palace!"

"Welcome your majesty back to the palace!"

Under the leadership of Li Chengqian, all officials saluted Li Shimin one after another.

"You Aiqing, please get up. I have been away from Beijing for more than two months. I owe you Aiqing for the affairs in the court." Li Shimin said in a loud voice.

"I'm just doing my duty! I dare not take credit for it. Besides, his Highness the prince supervises the country for his majesty, and we also have backbone!" Fang Xuanling said modestly instead of all officials.

"Oh!" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian strangely and said, "so, my prince has done well."

"The prince is brilliant and powerful. He has the style of his majesty!"

"The prince is kind and attaches great importance to the people all over the world."

…………………………

All officials nodded one after another, and there were voices praising Li Chengqian.

"I'm ashamed that I'm young and don't understand state affairs. I rely on your important officials to help me." Li Chengqian said modestly.

"Well, this is not a place to stay for a long time. I've traveled a long way and I'm tired. I'd better wait until tomorrow morning!" Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Congratulations, your majesty!" the officials bowed their hands, but their eyes involuntarily looked at the front of Li Chengqian. Tomorrow, there will be a conclusion about the merits and demerits of the crown prince's prison state.

When Li Chengqian saw the carriage passing slowly, a trace of reluctance flashed in his heart. He risked a great risk to reform the post station, just to get Li Shimin's approval. However, now Li Shimin hung him there in front of all officials. Without a word of affirmation, his carefully prepared performance of post station reform failed.

On the carriage, empress Chang sun looked worried at the lost figure of Li Chengqian and said, "emperor, Chengqian is still young and has just come into contact with state affairs. Are you too harsh on him?"

"He was still young. When he dismissed my top five, he didn't expect to be young." Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Did your majesty see the post station reform after all? It's a good policy to benefit the country and the people. The doctor in the driving department is afraid of your Majesty's punishment. How can it be done?" the eldest Sun Queen said helplessly.

Li Shimin was silent for a long time and said, "if qian'er didn't do what I expected, you think I would save face for him. Let him dry first, so that he won't know the greatness of heaven and earth if he has some achievements."

Empress eldest grandson sighed helplessly, saying that father and son were enemies, and Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were the same. When Li Chengqian was at ordinary times, Li Shimin thought that Li Chengqian needed more training. Now that she had made some achievements, Li Shimin began to beat again. When could she see the scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety.
