Great Song

Chapter 159

"Baoying Temple actually wants to publish a newspaper?" Hearing this, Chi Liaozi was at a loss for a while. They are students of Taoism, and they are still practicing alchemy, so what kind of newspaper should they do?Wouldn't it be nice to have more furnaces in this time?

"Seriously speaking, it's not really a newspaper. It's just a regular publication and some articles. Now that the study of atmospheric pressure can write books, how can our good fortune be left alone? Not to mention the 'replacement needs to gather yuan' ’ reason, doesn’t senior brother have a discovery that can be spread all over the world?” Zhen Qiong was interested in this newspaper and tried her best to persuade her cheap senior brother.

How could Chi Liaozi have been a master of Daoist Temple, and when he heard this, he immediately reacted: "The temple master wants to be neutral in the Jindan sect?"

He knows better than others what the consequences will be if what Zhen Qiong knows and learns is accepted by other Jindan sects.What can be obtained by relying on the properties of yin and yang, five elements, and elixir classics is absolutely inferior to that obtained by glass dishes and microscopes.It's just that he didn't expect that Zhen Qiong would start planning so early.

"How could it be Liwei? This is obviously an exchange of needs. If we are all open and honest, how can others cherish themselves. In this way, the school of Alchemy will definitely improve day by day, and it will also be good for us. You can say anything in front of Brother Miao, but in front of Chi Liaozi, Zhen Qiong still has to maintain the demeanor of a "high-handed person" and refuses to admit his sinister intentions at all.

Chi Liaozi couldn't help but sneered when he heard the words: "What the Master said is very true. But in this way, we have to pay attention to the proportions of the newspapers and periodicals we publish, and we need to have the court review them."

Baoying Temple is different from other Taoist temples. It is heavily guarded, and it is no different from the imperial palace. There are countless secrets involved.If the news leaks out, no one can afford it.

Zhen Qiong nodded immediately: "It's okay, I will arrange it myself. It's just that I can't be the only one to support this newspaper. The brother must write two articles. We can discuss the format and the like slowly, but carelessness can be ignored." Let’s take it first. In the future, if people from other Taoist temples submit articles, we will have to review them and decide whether they can be published.”

Chi Liaozi was dumbfounded when Zhen Qiong uttered his own thoughts.He didn't expect this newspaper to have his share, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little excited.Now his alchemy is completely different from the golden alchemy. This is a technique from the good fortune school, and it is assisted by a microscope.He can write a lot of articles if he only talks about the principle and doesn't involve details!

Thinking of this, Chi Liaozi said seriously: "Junior brother has a heart, wait for me to look back and think about it. If I have an idea, I will definitely come to ask you for advice."

Seeing Chi Liaozi's cooperation, Zhen Qiong also felt relieved.After all, a newspaper, no matter how thin it is, must have seven or eight articles, dozens of pages, right?But this is not over yet, he said again: "I have already found a tutor for Qingfeng Mingyue and the others to make up lessons, and I will urge them to study hard and publish an article in the newspaper in the future. Nephew Duan is a senior student, so you might as well let him write something out."

When Chi Liaozi thought of this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Xuan Shuang also wants to publish an article in the newspaper? How old is he, maybe it's not appropriate?"

"What is age? Nephew Duan is older than me. We at Baoying Temple don't pay much attention to this, the key is to apply what we have learned. People who don't have anything in their stomachs can't write good essays. Maybe we will write more in the future." If you can use this as a standard, if you don’t have ideas and can’t write qualified essays, you won’t let him become a teacher. Let’s make good fortune, and don’t want those wastes who eat nothing!” Zhen Qiong said with certainty, anyway, he is the master of the temple. Well, he is the only descendant of the Creation Sect in the Great Song Dynasty, isn't he the one who has the final say on everything?

Chi Liaozi was surprised for a while, and after a long while, he said in a low voice: "The heart of the younger brother, the old way is ashamed. If you can really give the disciples a way to get ahead, it will definitely make them forge ahead. If this line of good fortune spreads Go, we disciples of Baoying Temple will definitely not fall behind."

As long as what they know is published in the newspapers, someone will learn it.There are countless talented people in the world, who can guarantee that they will be able to keep this foundation?However, pulling disciples into this system is quite different.As long as their requirements are strict enough, these apprentices can always touch the Dao earlier than others.

He has also taught disciples, even if he is a direct disciple, how many of them will teach the secrets of the sect to the disciples from the beginning?At the very least, he will have to serve by his side for a few years, and then he will look at his xinxing ability and teach him some superficial skills.It's just that in this way, there are always fewer and fewer inheritances.The better ones can be learned from the ancestors, the secrets of the sect are not lost, and talents can be produced in large numbers. With the protection of the court, this can be passed down for thousands of years.Those with bad luck, not to mention the things left by their ancestors, there are not a few whose sects have been cut off in the past hundred years or so.

Now he can be regarded as a member of the good fortune school, and he has figured out so many new things, and he doesn't want them to disappear in smoke behind him!

"That's exactly the reason!" Zhen Qiong smiled, "We are a grand court, so we must have rules. How is the essay written by Nephew Duan? If it doesn't work, you can make up lessons with my disciples."

"It's still the younger brother's thoughtfulness." The old Taoist couldn't refuse, and he readily agreed on behalf of his beloved disciple.

No, how come you don't practice alchemy and start writing articles?

When Duan Xuanshuang heard the news, he was in a bad mood.He grew up in a Taoist temple since he was a child, not only received the alchemy technique from his mentor, but also learned the Taoist scriptures well.But writing poems and fus is something I have never learned before!They are not from the inner alchemy sect, as long as they refine the alchemy well, what kind of articles should they write?Besides, he is such a small talker, does anyone read what he writes?

However, Duan Xuanshuang dared not resist no matter how unwilling he was to obey his teacher's instructions.I can only bitterly find my juniors and come to ask what's going on.

"Qingfeng, what is Master Uncle's plan? Why do you suddenly want to publish a newspaper and ask us to write articles?" Early in the morning, Duan Xuanshuang blocked the two juniors.

Qingfeng smiled slightly: "This is also to carry forward the school of good fortune. If we run a newspaper, we can also leave a name, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Although he didn't expect his master to come up with such an idea, let alone his senior brother still escaped the claws of evil.However, the matter has come to this point, if you think about it, you can still pass it, right?

Duan Xuanshuang was speechless: "Qingfeng, you are so open-minded. Could it be that you are also good at writing?"

Qingfeng's smile froze slightly: "Didn't the teacher say that he wants to hire a teacher for us. Let's learn slowly first, it will be beneficial in the end..."

"What's the benefit?!" Duan Xuanshuang was about to go crazy, alchemy was not enough, and he had to explain his experience in studying alchemy, and to find out the root cause, it was simply too difficult for others.If he could write, he would be a teacher soon!

"Don't you have to organize your notes when you practice alchemy on weekdays? Listen to what your teacher said, and focus on your own research and mastery." Qingfeng looked away, and persuaded, "Now we are going to run a newspaper. I don’t know how much. If you sail against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. My mentor is also kind.”

These words persuaded Duan Xuanshuang.That's right, if others start to learn from the lineage of fortune, wouldn't they have less advantages as direct disciples?Maybe Master came up with this idea because he was afraid that they would be lazy.

After staying for a long time, Duan Xuanshuang finally stabilized his mind, and nodded slowly: "What the younger brother said is not unreasonable, it is just writing, as long as you are willing to work hard, there should be benefits..."

After consoling himself for a long time, he looked at the little Taoist boy with straight eyes and a somewhat strange expression, and carefully asked, "What's wrong with Mingyue?"

"It's okay, this good news is too shocking, he hasn't recovered yet." Qingfeng coughed and replied dryly.

Unexpectedly, the words fell to the ground, and the people around him choked up: "I was wrong! I will never give Han Erlang any more exercises..."

It is really painful to be pressured to do homework.He thought that Han Xia's appearance was just pretending, but he didn't expect to be in the scene before he knew how difficult it was.

Qingfeng: "..."

Duan Xuanshuang: "???"

The tabloid of Baoying Temple is quietly preparing.Scholars were also in constant turmoil because of the theory of "gravity".However, the common people don't care about these things.It was finally time for the one-year national debt to be exchanged, and their attention was instantly drawn to this matter.

For a time, "Beijing News" and "Ri Xin Bao" published articles reminding the people to exchange one-year treasury bills as soon as possible.This is related to the savings of many people, how can you be careless?There are also people who hold bonds in fear, for fear that this piece of paper will not be able to call back golden copper coins.

Unexpectedly, the expected trouble did not appear.As long as you take the bond to the Yamen to cash it, you will get the principal and interest.The heavy string of money was carried in their hands, and there was also the free interest money. Some people were happy, but some were beating their chests and feet, feeling ashamed.No, the price of treasury bills with quality land has increased again. Why was I so stupid at the beginning, not buying two-year treasury bills, but insisting on one-year treasury bills?This is the benefit of official rewards, but they didn't even catch it!

Fortunately, there are always a small number of greedy people, and no one dares to make trouble at the gate of the yamen.After the one-month exchange period ended, Wang Anshi presented the results to the emperor.

"Why is the payment amount less than [-] guan?" Looking at the report, Zhao Xu couldn't help wondering.

"Some people have lost their bonds, and some want to collect them. It's not surprising that some are missing. The issuance of national bonds is half the battle," Wang Anshi explained.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded: "The rest will have to wait until next year. I guess there will be many people who want land but don't want money? At that time, we must calculate carefully, and don't let the court suffer."

In fact, it is already a bit of a loss now, how can bonds still rise?Thinking that the price difference in the middle fell into the hands of others made Zhao Xu very heartbroken.

Knowing the problem of the emperor, Wang Anshi coughed: "The ability to pay safely is also because the people have more trust in the court. There are so many good people, and we should relieve them of some heavy burdens."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu immediately regained his spirits: "That's right, the previous new laws were all for the imperial court, and now it's time to solve the long-standing abuses of the people. I think it's time to implement the labor recruitment law discussed by the Three Divisions and Regulations Division! "
