Chapter 63: The Way to Win

From the very beginning, Yang Shuang had no intention of investigating Shi Qianqiu personally.

Shi Qianqiu is not to be cherished, but his father Shi Wansui is a character, loyal to the country, honest and brave, and incompetent in educating his children is his fault, but Yang Shuang does not want to sacrifice this talent because of this fault.

Since she met Pan Cailian, Yang Shuang has been preparing to ask her to investigate Shi Qianqiu. This woman is a spy from the Tang Dynasty. She has methods and ways, and is also cunning. It is not difficult to find out the evidence of Shi Qianqiu.

And she deliberately dealt with her these days, one was to take the opportunity to investigate her identity, and the other was to suck her patience. Now she handed over this matter to her and she immediately agreed.

After breakfast, the Ming Dynasty Duke Zhuge Nantian came to his residence.

"I came here today to see the progress of the Great Sui Daily." Zhuge Nantian said.

Since he learned about the role of the Great Sui Daily, Zhuge Nantian has been worried about it and has been unable to hold it in his arms for the past few days.

Yang Shuang laughed and joked: "Duke, you are even more anxious than me. The production of newspapers is very simple, but it takes a little time to prepare in the early stage. I need to produce white paper first. With a large amount of white paper, it can support the supply of newspapers. Now the production site, personnel and equipment are ready and production has begun."

"Who did you send to keep it secret!" Zhuge Nantian reminded.

Yang Shuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Duke Guo, they are all confidants who have followed me for many years. Zhao Zongtang temporarily takes charge of the newspaper. He will find a reliable library owner, and then this person will be fully responsible for the newspaper. The papermaking workshop will be handed over to Zhang Hao."

Whether it is Zhao Zongtang or Zhang Hao, they are all people who have followed Yang Shuang for many years and are trustworthy.

"I'll be relieved if you arrange it. By the way, your papermaking technique is really faster than the current papermaking technique?" Zhuge Nantian couldn't help asking.

Yang Shuang nodded and responded: "The papermaking workshop is in Lijia Village, 30 miles away from the city. There are dense bamboo forests and the jungle serves as raw materials. Some of my private fields happen to be there. Most people in Lijia Village are my hired farmers. It is safe and reliable to make it here. When I have time, I will take the Duke to take a look."

With Yang Shuang's continuous study of doctoral education, improving papermaking and printing is a piece of cake. As a time traveler, the biggest reliance is knowledge, and you can play with the technology tree.

However, Yang Shuang understood the principle of the guilt of possessing a treasure, so whether it is the purification of fine salt or the improvement of papermaking reforms, he had to make a fortune in a low-key manner and wait until the accumulation was enough before taking it out.

At that time, there is no need to worry about being stolen by the emperor, but he discusses and cooperates with himself.

"Okay!" Zhuge Nantian responded.

Then, Yang Shuang changed into casual clothes and went to the newspaper with Zhuge Nantian.

When I came to the newspaper again, I could clearly see that the scholars here became busy.

They are all down-and-out scholars. They have no chance to make a living by studying and are unwilling to do tiring work. They are suffering from face and now they work in newspapers, with satisfactory salary, and reading, reading, writing, which is in line with their identities and their natural attitude.

Yang Shuang and Zhuge Nantian's arrival were very low-key. After arriving, they were invited to a room. Zhao Zongtang sent someone to deliver a newspaper model.

The entire page is a little smaller than the newspapers in previous lives, about the size of a3 paper. The layout is printed with a special woodblock. Each surface is divided into two sections on the left and right, and the front and back add up to four large sections.

The front is a bold and larger and red card head: "Da Sui Daily", and the downwards are specific typesettings. Each area is divided in an orderly manner and does not look messy at all.

The content of the early newspapers was entirely copied by hand. The carved version of movable type printing is being engraved, which takes a long time. Once movable type printing is released, it can be typed in advance every time, thereby printing newspapers in batches.

At this time, the newspaper sample obtained by Zhuge Nantian was already considered a finished product. It copied articles and poems, and there were questions from the imperial examinations in previous years.

In addition, there are also small stories such as riddles, experiences and other stories that attract attention.

In order to become famous for one shot, Yang Shuang originally wanted to create "Smoke Locking the Pond Willow" in the first issue of the Great Sui Daily. Later, she thought about it and she would not die just after it was published, so she used "I am Russian, riding a strange horse, a long bow, a single sword fight, a zither, a pipa, and the king is on top."

Although it is not a quatrain for the ages, it can still stump all scholars.

Zhuge Nan looked at the newspaper with great interest in Tianjin. After reading it, he said in surprise: "It's interesting, very interesting. Not only can you learn knowledge, but you can also smile. I can already imagine that as long as the Great Sui Daily is released, it will not take much time to become a scholar."

Yang Shuang nodded and said, "This is my carefully designed content, of course it's interesting."

"But you have to pay attention. There are still smart people in the court. I'm afraid they will guess the power contained in the Great Sui Daily." Zhuge Nantian said.

Yang Shuang said: "Duke please rest assured. In the early days, the Da Sui Daily only wrote about entertainment and entertainment, and would never touch the court or state affairs. Besides, I have already thought of other ways to protect the Da Sui Daily. Just give me three months, the Da Sui Daily will be completely mature. By then, even if someone imitates it, it will be difficult to get a picture of it."

There is a reason for Yang Shuang's confidence. Newspapers pay attention to timeliness, so the update speed must be fast. The paper and printing of the Sui Dynasty are limited. How many people can copy it alone? Even if others see the role of the Sui Dynasty Daily, it is difficult for them to imitate Yang Shuang, because Yang Su has movable type printing and papermaking techniques.

With shipments and update speed, others want to compete, what a joke!

The way to win is to have no one but self!

"I'll be relieved if you have a solution." Zhuge Nantian said with a smile.

Afterwards, the two left the newspaper.

On the way back, Zhuge Nantian suddenly said: "Since His Majesty gave you the task of making money last time, all the princes have taken action."

Yang Shuang nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty only gives you half a year. It is not easy to get enough money in such a short time. By the way, what exactly have they done?"

Zhuge Nantian was Yang Shuang's mainstay, so he naturally had to help Yang Shuang investigate the information clearly. He only laughed and said, "Yang Yong, King of Qi, seemed to want to purchase silk from Wei and Shu. Su Xiu from Wei and Shu, Shu embroidery is famous all over the world and is keen on by the powerful and powerful people of the Sui Dynasty. King of Jin, Yang Guang, was relatively low-key and sent his confidant adviser to leave Beijing, and he was not sure where to go. As for King of Qin, Yang Jun, behind the support of Wang, he was preparing funds. Although Wang was rich, he would have no problem taking out a hundred thousand taels. No matter how much he had, he would have concerns, because once he couldn't win, the silver would be in the pocket of the treasury, and he would not be able to take it out. Moreover, his Majesty did not agree in person. Whoever won the task would be made the crown prince. What if His Majesty had a task?"

"As for King Yang Xiu of Yue and King Yang Liang of Han, these two brothers are patient and still watching. Finally, it is King Wei, although he is the youngest, his ideas are novel."
