Chapter 47

Turning his head to look at Chi Li, for some reason, a terrible evil fire rose in his heart, Tan Yushu was so angry that he took a deep breath——

"No, Brother Chi. Your Majesty has been childless for a long time, and many imperial doctors are helpless. I think that since our doctors here can't help it, can the Western doctors at Brother Chi have countermeasures?"

Tan Yushu, who said this, was smiling, and his tone was gentle and gentle, just like usual, and even sounded softer because of his lack of energy.

I can't... I'm used to it...

"Humph."

Chili patted his head, turned him around, and stretched out the comb to comb his long hair.

"You are really loyal to your majesty, you are in charge of shit and children."

Hearing this, Tan Yushu fell silent. Is he really so boring?But this is really a very important thing!

Pulling a strand of hair that hung down to the back of his head, he said seriously: "Brother Chi, the emperor's heir has a relationship with the country and the country, so naturally we can't ignore it. If your majesty is happy with a dragon son, it will be my great fortune and the fortune of all the people."

Tan Yushu's hair is somehow long, so long, like a piece of satin, thick when held up.From head to tail, it is really troublesome to comb well and long.

Chi Li combed slowly, picked up a touch of sweet-scented osmanthus oil, wiped it on his hair, and rolled his eyes by the way: "Even if it can be cured, your emperor is so old, are you sure he can still give birth? And the one that caused infertility There are many reasons, how did you get something like your emperor's when you got it checked with professional equipment in the hospital."

"What kind of thing?"

Chi Li stopped, pinched his waist, and said without any fluctuation in his voice, "Guess?"

Tan Yushu: ...

The roots of her ears were slowly turning red, she lowered her eyes and said nothing for a long time, after a while, she whispered: "Then I'll think of a way..."

Chi Li finally combed his hair. Looking at the neat crown, he was very satisfied. The ancient bun is not difficult to comb.If it wasn't for his hairlessness, there would be no need to practice on Tan Yushu.

I was quite happy at first, but when I heard Tan Yushu's words, I was stunned.

What do you think?Can you stop being so energetic all the time?

In Chi Li's perverted eyes, Tan Yushu put on his clothes silently.

Don't look, he is really not a pervert...

The two walked out of the meditation room together.

There is a very important event in the Efa Temple today, that is, the two sons of Lu Meiren came to the Efa Temple to lead them to practice.

Emperor Jiaming was grateful for the benevolence and filial piety of these two children, so he gave them two dharma names, the older one was called Huiren, and the younger one was called Huixiao.

As the abbot, Chi Li went to "inspect" for a while. After seeing Huiren, he fell into a long silence. It took a long time to find the words: "Are you thirteen this year?"

Huiren, who is tall and tall, with a thick layer of stubble on his mouth, and muscular, lowered his head shyly to salute, and said in a childlike voice unique to a 13-year-old boy: "Return to the abbot, that's right."

The corner of Chi Li's mouth twitched, and he looked at the other one.

His seven-year-old brother was only as high as his elder brother's knees, holding his elder brother's thigh timidly, standing beside him, not like a brother, but like a father and son.

Pond: ...

Well, thirteen.

Tan Yushu, who was only 17 meters tall at the age of 1.6, was also in shock.

But it doesn't matter, these two are lords appointed by the emperor himself, Tan Yushu stepped forward and saluted with a smile.

Hui Ren took a look at Tan Yushu's face, but he didn't dare to take a second look, and returned the salute shyly.But Xiaodou Ding Huixiao grabbed his brother's leg and poked his head out from behind to look at him.

Seeing this situation, Tan Yushu smiled and said: "It is also a destiny to meet the two young masters today. I see that young master Huiren has exquisite bones. Do you want to learn some martial arts from me for self-defense? And young master Huixiao is smart, do you want to study with me?" , become a high official in the future?"

The two children looked at Tan Yushu timidly. After they suddenly became rich, the people around them wanted to take a piece of skin from them. Their faces were like ghosts, even if they smiled, they were scary.

But this "Master Scholar" is different, he speaks softly, smiles softly, and teaches them skills, he looks like a good person.

The two children blinked their eyes, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to call the master.

Tan Yushu hurriedly helped them up and patted the dirt on their bodies.

He untied a dagger and gave it to Hui Ren, and gave a jade pendant to Hui Xiao, and gently touched their heads, he accepted the two apprentices.

Pond: ...

That's all for the small one, the big one is as long as a bear, straightened up almost to Tan Yushu's shoulders.

He was born with a strong face and an old face, with his arms folded, and he looked admiringly calling Tan Yushu "Master". Chi Li wished to tear his eyeballs out.

However, looking at his physique, will his plan to train the armed forces of Erfa Temple be on the agenda soon?

Huiren: ...

Does the abbot have a bad temper? Why do you keep looking at him with a sullen face?

Fortunately, Master seems to really like him!

Of course, Tan Yushu patted his hard muscles with golden eyes. This general grid must have unbelievable courage when he grows up. He decided to teach him how to practice hammering in the future!As for the small one, just accept it by the way.

"Teacher for one day, father for life", the alliance between him and Lu Meiren became stronger and stronger.

……

During the Shangyuan Festival, the street market became lively again. Early in the morning, Lady Miao held a vermilion pen and carefully traced red on the roses on the wooden sign.

Now the reputation of Miao Niangzi noodle shop is getting bigger and bigger. Not only does it usually sell fast, but also restaurants come to her to discuss cooperation, and the business is getting better and better.

Everyone is very familiar with Mrs. Miao. When they pass by to buy buns, they say hello: "Ms. Miao, what are you doing?"

Lady Miao hung up the wooden sign and said with a smile: "I have paid back the account of the Efa Temple a few days ago. This store is now mine, and the master of the Efa Temple will not use it to check the accounts in the future. But I have received the great favor of the Efa Temple. Reluctant to remove this plaque, I asked the master to let me keep it as a souvenir. The master of Erfa Temple asked me to turn over the plaque, paint it with roses and vermilion, and then I would write off the account. So I put this plaque in the early morning The flower card is painted with vermilion, reveal it~"

Everyone was shocked: "50 taels of silver, Mrs. Miao paid it off so quickly?"

"That's right, business is going well these days during the holidays. When I have enough money, I will pay back the bill immediately!"

Everyone was shocked, and they paid it back in less than a month, that is to say, they borrowed 50 taels and only paid back [-] Wen in interest!

Seeing Mrs. Miao's small shop with a booming business, many people's eyes turned red with envy.

And looking at the street at this time, I found that many of the burdens carried by the shopkeepers were also shaking the signs of the Erfa Temple, and some of them were even painted with vermilion.

Immediately someone came forward and asked, "Have you paid off the money you borrowed?"

The peddler who sold cooking cakes scratched his head: "Well, I paid it back. I didn't dare to borrow more, I only borrowed ten taels, bought picks, charcoal stoves, grain and oil, and sold them along the streets, and made money without knowing it. I’m back. Before the master had time to withdraw the bill, I returned the money. It’s really only 100 coins! Do you want to try my cakes? Grit your teeth, borrow more from the eminent monks of Efa Temple, and open a shop along the street like Mrs. Miao!"

This cooking cake originally sold for five Wen a piece, it was hot and smelled good, so a few people paid for it.

The hawkers were immediately happy, and business will definitely be better today during the Lantern Festival!

Walking with a load, I also saw many rose cards. Everyone looked at their rose cards and smiled at each other.

"You also borrowed money from Erfa Temple to do business?"

"Hahaha, yes, but I haven't paid it back yet, bro, you're amazing, you paid it back so quickly."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we are all the people that Master Miaofa likes, we can make a lot of money, and we will pay back soon! Come, treat you to a cake."

"Then I'll give you a sugar figurine. Where is your home? If you make money in the future, let's go to the Efa Temple to burn incense together!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say~"

For some reason, the people who hung the rose plaques together had a sense of collective honor, so even if they paid off, those people just painted the plaques with red and continued to hang them. Gas, it's not the same as before.

The cake seller and the sugar seller were walking together, and suddenly saw a new study opened on the corner of the street, and this study also had a rose sign.

It's just that this brand is different. The words and flowers are painted with gold powder, which looks extraordinarily "noble", which is different from their wood roses.

The two peddlers felt a little uncomfortable at once, they were both from Erfa Temple, why is this study so prominent, so they stepped forward and asked the waiter who hung the sign: "My little brother, why is the rose plate in your house made of gold?" Woolen cloth?"

Xiao Eryi turned around, looked at the wooden sign on their burdens and said with a smile, "Because this study is the own shop of Efa Temple."

The hawker suddenly realized, no wonder the pattern is so different, it turned out to be from the same family!Immediately, he clasped his hands together and bowed to "Golden Rose".

But the eminent monks of Efa Temple are different. They all open bookstores, which are not something ordinary people like them can afford.

But they don't know that they can really afford the things sold in the Erfa Temple's study room, because they sell newspapers.

To be fair, if a "traveler" didn't produce a newspaper in ancient times, it would be a shame to the timetraveler.

The study rooms of Erfa Temple are set up at intervals in the capital. One is for selling books, and the other is for selling newspapers.

As a newspaper issued by Erfa Temple, it is natural to reserve a large page for Erfa Temple. In each issue, the best ones will be selected from those who wrote poems from Erfa Temple, and they will be paid for their contributions and published in the newspaper.

One is to promote the enthusiasm of those who come to Erfa Temple to write poems, and it is convenient for him to be a material library; the other is to improve the status of Erfa Temple among literati.

The literati in the Yong Dynasty had a very high status and spoke loudly, and those who won the literati group won the world.

He also provides manuscript fees and publicity, and literati must flock to them.

The first issue published is naturally Uncle Zhuangzi's "Ti'erfa Temple Winter Leek". To be fair, if it wasn't because of too many words, he planned to choose three people to publish it.

The rest, of course, is the entertainment section. The mysterious "Dongchuang Ke" reappeared and made up a story about "The Eminent Monk Ferrying Evil".

However, when writing this story, Tan Yushu thought of the phonetic version of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" that he had seen before. The stories in it were quite interesting, so he localized "Cinderella", "Vicious Stepmother" and "Eminent Monk Godmother" .

However, when writing, Tan Yushu suddenly felt that the girls here have been taught how to marry their husbands and children, and how to find a good husband and son-in-law. It's so sad.

So with a swipe of the pen, it was changed to relying on the guidance of the eminent monk Du'er. The girl took back the family business and made a lot of money.

But in their era, women can't keep money even if they have money, so they set up a younger brother for the heroine, and let the younger brother win Juren under her upbringing, and live happily ever after.

This kind of classic cool text with such intense conflicts must be very suitable for the appetite of the ancients, and the sales volume depends on it.

Now Tan Yushu is making an example. If he pays the manuscript fee in the future, others will naturally write the story. Yongchao doesn't have many things, but there are many scholars.

After finishing the entertainment page, of course there is advertising space for rent. This issue is first Miao Niangzi noodle shop, and Taohuage makeup powder.

When the ancients got the propaganda power of advertisements, he would collect a lot of money. No matter when, advertisements are the most profitable.

Functions such as the notice of missing objects will be gradually implemented in the future.

As for the price, Chi Li gave seven cents, the price of a noodle.

As the capital city of Yongjing, most of the people living here are very wealthy. The money for a newspaper is nothing to them. They must be willing to buy it for entertainment.

After finishing everything, he threw a few slings of copper coins in front of Tan Yushu: "Payment fees."

Wow!Ever since Brother Chi said it was his money bag, this is the first time Tan Yushu has seen money back!

Immediately very happy: "Come on, Brother Chi, I'll take you to Fuxianlou to eat soup dumplings!"

"Okay." Chi Li agreed confidently.

Most of the reason why a man turned bad was because he was rich, so he wanted to spend all of Tan Yushu's money!

……

Fuxianlou's soup dumplings are a must, especially the crab roe dumplings, which are extremely delicious and well-known far and wide.

Pond gravel has recently been conditioned and has a much better appetite than before.

Pick up a soup bag, the crystal clear skin can see the soup inside, but it is so tough that it will not be broken at all.Take a sip, the hot soup will warm your whole body, it is fresh but not greasy, the fragrance of crab is lingering between your lips and teeth, it is moist and smooth, it is so delicious that you can swallow your tongue.

This soup dumpling is delicious, but naturally it is expensive, and it costs a lot of money for a drawer.The two of them sweated profusely for several drawers, not only the manuscript fee was gone, but some more.

After eating the soup dumplings, Tan Yushu ordered another bowl of light soup to finish, and sat in the private room to sweat.

I was idle and bored, and asked a question I've always wanted to ask: "Brother Chi, the newspaper is certainly a brilliant idea, but the cost of printing is very high. Are you sure Brother Chi can recover the cost?"

Chi Li picked up the soup. This soup should be made of some kind of fish and mushrooms. Teng Teng said: "The printing cost is high, so reduce the printing cost."

The reason why he let go of the newspaper is because the next thing he wants to introduce is the "Gutenberg printing press".

Printing has a long history, first it was block printing, and then it developed to movable type printing.

However, because the ink used for printing is ink, if wooden or ceramic movable type is exposed to water for a long time, it is easy to be scrapped and deformed, which greatly increases the cost.

Gutenberg's printing machine made two improvements. He made the blocks into "lead movable type" and invented an ink for printing.Lead is soft, will not damage the paper, is not easy to deform, and can be used repeatedly.It will not be like other movable type materials, because the ink is soaked in blurred and deformed handwriting, which greatly saves printing costs.

Not only that, the Gutenberg printing press also simplifies the process, allowing printers to work in an assembly line and print quickly.The prosperity of natural science in Europe at that time was inseparable from the popularization of books brought about by the improvement of printing technology.

The papermaking technology of the Yong Dynasty was already very developed, especially the mass production of cheap, exquisite, and quality bamboo paper. Coupled with an improved printing machine, the publishing industry will undoubtedly prosper. this sum of money.

So bookstores, printing factories, paper mills and so on, all set up together.

Because of those "merits and virtues", the Efa Temple is now so rich that it is fully capable of building it. This is the investment that Chili wants to make.

It's just that the structure of Gutenberg's printing press is not difficult, but the difficulty is in the production of the type models. The characters of the Yong Dynasty are still different from the modern characters, so they have to be re-made.

This kind of project is huge and meaningless. Chili is impatient and asks the craftsmen here to spend time groping for themselves, and prepares to go back to modern times to develop a literacy AI. Let Tan Yushu feed the AI ​​when he has time, type the model with modern technology, and bring it back for the people here. The craftsmen directly copied the standard answers.

The rest of the printing presses are stupid, give me some hints, and the craftsmen here will naturally do it.

It is conceivable how profitable it will be when the supporting industries are established.

But if things go on like this, it's really not good not to pay taxes. Let Tan Yushu and Emperor Jiaming discuss it, or collect taxes, otherwise he, a capitalist, will not feel at ease.

Briefly mentioned this kind of printing machine to Tan Yushu, Tan Yushu immediately wanted to see it with great interest.

Don't worry, you can go back to modern times today.

After coming to modern times again, the happiest thing is Hu Chunniang.

Here she is free to dress and do whatever she wants, which is [-] times more chic than in ancient times!

And there are so many new things that I haven't tried, delicious food that I haven't eaten, and TV dramas that haven't been finished yet, long live the modern age!

But there is one more important thing, that is——

"Come on, son, let's go to the hospital to see a doctor!"

Tan Yushu: ...

Mom, do you remember this incident?

His mother went with him, so he couldn't hide it, so Tan Yushu immediately pulled Chi Li over, and said solemnly: "Mother, I'm sorry for you to go, let Brother Chi go with me."

After thinking about it, Hu Chunniang agreed, and Mr. Chi Xiaolang is still very reliable.

So Chi Li and Tan Yushu came to the hospital together, and Chi Li asked with a cracked face, "You really can't do it?"

I was shocked for a while, and gradually became a little happy again.Anyway, between the two of them, one of them can do it. After Tan Yushu fails, he will be much safer, which is awesome!

Tan Yushu: ...

Although it's fake, brother Chi, you're so happy!

Trying to find his own train of thought, he smiled awkwardly and politely: "No, brother Chi, in fact, I came this time mainly to see a doctor for His Majesty..."

The originally uncontrollable arc on Chi Li's face disappeared instantly, and he said lightly, "Oh."

Tan Yushu: ...

Brother Chi, you are obviously disappointed!Should I say sorry, sorry?

Chi Li said in a lack of interest: "Then how do you check for him?"

Tan Yushu smiled and said, "I got something like His Majesty's."

Chili: ...?

Just when his three views were completely broken, Tan Yushu took out a stack of papers from his bag, and said happily:

"I got His Majesty's pulse case!"
