Chapter 32 Li Tai's Ambition

The children who sold newspapers were all from poor families. They were all newspaper boys recruited by the newspaper company under the instruction of Li Chengqian.

They were all taught by the newspaper company, and they could get a penny for every two newspapers they sold.

With these rewards, they could supplement their family income, improve their family life, and more importantly, they could learn to read.

In order to make it easier for ordinary people to understand the content of newspapers, Li Chengqian also set up newspaper readers in each district to interpret newspapers for the vast working people.

After all, there were only a few people who could read and write in this era, and most books were in the hands of aristocratic families. Not many children from poor families could afford to read.

What's more, these working people who live at the bottom of society, who are numerous in number, basically have no chance to get in touch with knowledge in their whole lives.

If they are not given the opportunity to read newspapers, how can they guide the public opinion of these people? If they cannot guide the direction of the public opinion of the general public, how can they suppress, weaken or even eliminate the influence of the aristocratic families?

In this case, the original intention of running a newspaper will lose its meaning.

Once His Majesty Li II finds that the newspaper has not met his expectations, how can he support Li Chengqian to continue running the newspaper?

The purpose of setting up this newspaper reader is to convey the leader's important speeches and the court's policies to these working people, so that these working people can learn and implement the spirit of the supreme leader.

In the first issue of the gg page, Li Chengqian published some product ggs of the shops that had been agreed on for free, so that the owners of these shops can taste the sweetness first.

Let these merchants be the first to eat crabs for free.

After the effect comes out, Li Chengqian is not afraid that they will not come to the newspaper to publish gg obediently, and it will not be too late to let these merchants pay the gg fee at that time.

In addition to these, there are two notices on the newspaper, one is gg for rent, and the other is a call for articles.

As soon as the newspaper was published, it immediately became a sensation throughout Chang'an City. Intellectuals flocked to the newspaper office to submit their articles. How could they miss such an opportunity to increase

their fame? As the newspaper was sold, many people came to the merchants who were waiting for the free edition because of the newspaper's gg.

This made the business of these merchants much better than before, so these merchants paid to publish the next issue of the newspaper.

Other merchants also saw business opportunities and went to the newspaper office to discuss the publication of gg. For a while, the newspaper office was crowded.

The effect brought by the newspaper exceeded Li Chengqian's expectations, and made Li Er very satisfied.

Comrade Li was so proud that he issued three imperial edicts in one day to commend Li Chengqian. Everyone, including the officials of the Eastern Palace, received rewards from Comrade Li.

The Eastern Palace was in a state of joy. In the past, the Eastern Palace was always suppressed by the King of Wei, but now the eunuchs and palace maids of the Eastern Palace finally got to be proud of themselves.

"Everyone! The smooth publication of the newspaper this time is all thanks to your efforts. For the future of the newspaper, I hope you can continue to work hard. Starting from the day after tomorrow, the Tang Daily will expand to several counties near Chang'an, and in the future it will also expand to several states, and even to all parts of the country, and reach every household." Li Chengqian made his first statement at the newspaper.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and everyone was full of enthusiasm. The better the newspaper did, the more rewards they could get.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness! I will manage the newspaper well and make it flourish!" Yu Zhining stood up and expressed his opinion first. Zhang Xuansu and Kong Yingda also stood up and expressed their opinions.

In addition to the salaries issued by the court, these people can also make extra money from the newspaper and become famous. They have no reason not to be active!

Seeing that the three deputy editors-in-chief of the newspaper had expressed their opinions, everyone also expressed their willingness to support the development of the newspaper.

"Okay! Then everyone should hurry up and select the articles and current affairs to be published the day after tomorrow. Starting from the day after tomorrow, the newspaper will be published once a day instead of once every three days." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Everyone was united in purpose and full of fighting spirit, as if they had endless energy.

Everyone went to work, and Li Chengqian also left the newspaper and went to the palace to report the results of their work to His Majesty Li II.

As the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Li Chengqian was obviously unqualified. Apart from showing up from time to time, he was basically a hands-off manager.

The work of the newspaper had always been handled by Zhang Xuansu, Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda. In this way, the three of them had no time to run to the East Palace to keep an eye on the prince, let alone find fault with the prince.

In short, since opening the newspaper, Li Chengqian has lived a very free and easy life.

Some are happy, some are sad!

When Comrade Li Chengqian was happy because of the benefits brought by the newspaper, Comrade Li Tai was not happy at all.

Since the sudden rise of the newspaper, he found that Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince was becoming more and more stable, which he could not accept.

After planning for so long, he thought he could overthrow Li Chengqian and then sit on the throne of the crown prince, but who would have thought that his left and right arms would have accidents one after another.

When his own strength was greatly reduced, Li Chengqian relied on this newspaper and became stronger than before.

With one gaining and the other losing, what would he use to compete with Li Chengqian for the position of crown prince and the throne of the emperor in the future?

How could Li Tai be willing to let the throne of the crown prince, which was within his grasp, slip away from him so easily?

He was unwilling, very unwilling!

But what could he do? What could he do now to fight Li Chengqian?

Li Tai was not the only one who had troubles. Ever since the newspaper came out, the aristocratic families had been panicking. If they allowed the Li Tang royal family to continue like this,

the interests of their aristocratic families would be wiped out, and the poor families and the vast number of poor people whom they looked down upon would be on an equal footing with them.

This was the thing they could not tolerate the most, and they had to find a way to solve this serious problem.

The best way is to recommend a prince who is inclined to the aristocratic family from among the many princes, and let him inherit the throne in the future.

In this way, the interests and transcendent status of the gentry can be maintained.

The current prince has seriously threatened these gentry. If Li Chengqian inherits the throne in the future, it will be a mess.

These gentry, who smelled the crisis from the newspapers, began to lean towards Wei Wang Li Tai and contacted Wei Wang Li Tai secretly.

I hope Li Tai can win a great victory on the road to succession!

This made Wei Wang Li Tai swell up! With the secret support of these noble families who shared the same hatred for him,

he rekindled his hope of seizing the throne, as if he saw the throne of the empire waving to him.
