Chapter 439: To what he likes

11days ago traverse Novels 7
People always grow up. When I was a child, I always wanted to become a hero with great martial arts like Guo Jing and Yang Guo.

When you grow up, you will find that Wei Xiaobao is the real winner in life.

Looking for a paradise for a lifetime, spend the rest of your life with your beautiful wife and concubines. At this point, what else can your husband seek?

Wei Xiaobao Ah... Tang Yaoyao narrowed her eyes and looked at him and asked: Then you plan to marry seven wives like him?

That's not. Tang Ning shook his head and said: I'm very satisfied now.

Tang Yaoyao looked at him with satisfaction. After thinking about it carefully, her expression became dissatisfied again.

Tang Ning didn't know what Tang Yaoyao was thinking all day long, changing her face was as fast as flipping books. She walked in and asked him a question. After getting his answer, she was a little happy first, and then walked away angrily...

He shook his head, Ah, and another name was called Contradiction...

He walked out of the room and asked Qing'er to prepare the bath water for him. After taking a shower, he would go over and discuss with Tang Yaoyao about the promotion and warm-up of the Sixteen-Defense Competition.

……

Since the sixth day of the winter month, Tangrenzhai, the largest bookstore in Beijing, began to publish something called newspapers.

This kind of newspaper is different from books. It has only a thin page, but the format is several times larger than that of ordinary books.

The recent book to be published by Tang Renzhai accounts for 20% of the pages, and the recruitment notices of many stores under Tangren occupy nearly 30%. The remaining two pages briefly introduce the origin of the Sixteen Guards and their respective responsibilities, and attach the ranking of the Sixteen Guards ten years ago.

This newspaper costs a penny and is very cheap. It was printed on the first day and sold out within half an hour.

Only a few people are interested in Tang Renzhai's publication bibliography and recruitment notices, but the introduction and ranking of the Sixteen Guards attracted many people's attention.

The four-year Sixteen Guards Competition is about to begin, and many people have already set their sights on this big event, but they do not know the strength of Sixteen Guards. The newspaper published by Tang Renzhai just provided them with a reference.

The people didn't know much about the Sixteen Guards before. This newspaper made them realize that the reason why the people in the capital lived a stable life was because these people were guarding them. Three days after the newspaper was published, the streets and alleys had already begun to frequently discuss the Sixteen Guards Competition.

Tang Yaoyao walked out of Tangrenzhai and looked at Tang Ning and asked: "What money does this kind of newspaper make? Why do you have to spend so much effort to do it?"

Tang Ning smiled and said: I can't explain it clearly for a while, anyway, you just wait to collect the money.

Tang Yaojing naturally did not understand the importance of public opinion. Tang Ning deliberately minimized the price of newspapers, and the profit was just as equal to the cost. Although it was not profitable, it could guarantee that any people could buy it. Even if they only bought one copy and circulated it with each other, his purpose would be achieved.

In just a few days, the Sixteen Guards Competition has become a hot topic of discussion among the whole nation. After that, Tangrenzhai would use a special layout to introduce Sixteen Guards every day. After the competition begins, a sign will be placed at the door of Tangrenzhai to update points and rankings at any time until the competition ends.

After the competition, the people were almost used to the existence of newspapers, and then they mainly focused on major news that occurred in central Beijing or in China. The people in the capital have a very high sense of national identity and pride and are very concerned about such things.

In addition, Xiaoqi Camp has started to build a site, but its main task is to enclose land. The project volume is not large and can be put into use in one month

Now for Tang Ning, the most difficult thing is how he convinced Chen Huang to agree to sell tickets. He could not make a decision on this matter privately. He wrote a note yesterday and handed it over. There is no news yet.

He rested today and visited the shop with Tang Yaoyao. As soon as he got home, he saw Ling Yun standing in the yard. Seeing him in, he stepped forward and said: Lord Tang, Your Majesty, you will enter the palace

This time, Emperor Chen announced that he entered the palace, which should be about the tickets for the Sixteen Guards Competition.

Tang Ning got on the carriage, while Ling Yun rode his horse in front

The Ling family is also a family of military generals. In fact, they should be the most prominent general in the capital today.

Ling Yun is not much older than Lu Teng and Xiao Jue, but he is already the General of the Yulin Guard and often follows Emperor Chen. The Ling family is not like the Lu family. He takes the civil service route in the middle. The current head of the Ling family, namely Ling Yun's father, is the General of the Jinyu Guard. The other descendants are not in the capital, but accumulate military achievements on the border. The lieutenant generals of the capital have never left the right of the Ling family.

When Tang Ning was about to enter the car, he saw the rich man Tang coming out of his home, so he couldn't pretend not to see him. He raised his hand and said hello to him. Hello Uncle Tang

Tang Ji didn't want to say hello to Tang Ning, but since he had spoken, he had to wave his hand and asked casually: Where is this going?

The rich man Tang actually talked to him, which was beyond Tang Ning's expectations. He was stunned and said: Your Majesty summoned him

Tang Ji's eyes stayed on Ling Yun's face for a moment, and suddenly asked: Who is this person?

Tang Ning introduced: Commander Ling Yunling

Ling Yun looked at him and said: Lord Tang, it’s time for us to leave, don’t let Your Majesty wait in a hurry

Tang Ning waved to Tang rich man again and said: Goodbye Uncle Tang

Tang Ji stood there, watching the carriage disappear, and stood for a long time

The butler behind him stepped forward and whispered: Master, aren’t you going to Hongxiu Pavilion anymore?

Tang Ji was a little upset, waved his hand and said: Let's go

……

In the imperial study room

Chen Huang took a newspaper in his hand and said: Newspaper is fresh, but if he only sells it for a penny, he may not even be able to make money back. Will he not lose money?

He put down the newspaper and said: It's a good Sixteen Guards Competition. What tickets are sold? It's an exception. He is actually thinking about making profits from it. I want to see how he explains to me.

Not long after he finished speaking, a eunuch came forward to report that Tang Ning had arrived

Chen Huang looked over and said: Let him come in

Tang Ning walked into the hall, bowed and said: I will meet your majesty.

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked: How are the preparations for the Sixteen Guards Competition?

Tang Ning said: Go back to Your Majesty, everything is going in an orderly manner

Chen Huang said again: Then you explain to me, what is the ticket for this competition?

Tang Ning had already prepared for this issue before coming, and said after hearing this: Go back to Your Majesty, I know that the money in the treasury is hard-earned, and there are too many places where there are needed to use the money. There are droughts in the north, floods in the south every year, and Sushen people repeatedly invade the border, which is a huge expense...

The Sixteen Guards have a small comparison every year and a big competition every four years, which costs a lot, but compared with disaster relief and helping the people, fighting against foreign enemies, and protecting the country and safeguarding the people, it is really a trivial matter. I dare not add pressure to the treasury anymore, so I find a way to convince the rich businessmen in Beijing to donate silver to prepare for the treasury, saving the treasury. I also thought that I could sell tickets to the treasury. 30% of the income was given to the Ministry of War, 30% of the income was taken back to the treasury, and the rest were given back to the merchants who were preparing, which also seemed to be sympathetic to the court...

If you want to convince others, it is best to take the interests of others as the starting point and indicate that I do all this for your own good. Of course, before this, you must first understand what the other party needs and likes...

This is called to give your preference

According to Tang Ning's understanding of Emperor Chen, he can lower the bottom line once for money and reduce it a second time. Moreover, he is not for his own interests, but from the court, the treasury, and from the perspective of Emperor Chen, it represents selfless justice

The money is already in front of him, the only question is whether he wants to be a good person or not

Who would be unable to get along with the money? Even if he is the emperor...

Tang Ning looked up and looked at it. Judging from Chen Huang's somewhat active expression, he guessed it right this time, and it is very likely that he didn't need to bargain.
