    "Bah!" Li Min suddenly slapped the newspaper on the table and said decisively: "No, that's not how newspapers are written!"

    Yan Bei and Li Ke happily asked Li Min to see the fruits of their labor during this period. Unexpectedly, they received such an answer from Li Min. They were a little dissatisfied for a while. Li Ke asked: "Liu Lang, why can't the newspaper do this?  "

    "Third brother, the content you wrote meets the requirements, but the article has huge flaws!" Li Min said unceremoniously, and then detailed the flaws in the first issue of the newspaper.

    As for the content of the first issue of Datang Daily, Li Min had already made a decision, that is, to use the battle of the destruction of Goguryeo as the breakthrough point, to count the gains and losses of the Tang Dynasty in this battle, and also to analyze the recent period of the Tang Dynasty.  In order to make fair comments on the coming political affairs, no matter whether they are correct or not, they must express their own opinions, speak out and dare to give advice, and strive to establish a bold and fearless image in the hearts of readers.

    Regarding Li Min's requests, Yan Bei, Li Ke and everyone in the newspaper did a good job. The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and there was no literary prison for later generations. Scholars often discussed the gains and losses of the government in private, so this issue  The newspaper boldly pointed out that during the war against Goguryeo, due to insufficient preparation, the northeastern states were overburdened, causing complaints among the people in many states.  In addition, the generals who were unfavorable in combat on the battlefield were also criticized by name, which can be said to be not given any face.

    However, although the content met Li Min's requirements, there was one thing that made him very dissatisfied, because among all the articles in the newspaper.  They all committed a common problem among all scholars, that is, quoting classics and references and quoting from other sources. Although they were not as rigid as the Ming and Qing literati in later generations, they still made Li Min very difficult to read. He even couldn't understand a considerable part of the articles. In other words  , if you are not full of talent and learning.  Even if you buy a newspaper, you have to ask someone else to translate it.

    When they heard Li Min point out that the newspaper articles used too many allusions, making the articles too obscure and difficult to understand, Yan Bei and Li Ke were still a little confused.  They looked at each other and asked: "Rokuro, that's how writing articles is. If you don't use allusions, how can you show the literary talent of the article writer?"

    "Third Brother, even I understand what Sixth Brother means, why are you still trying to get into trouble?" Before Li Min could explain, Li Zhi next to him said rather rudely.

    Uh~, only then did Li Ke and Yan Bei notice the short Li Zhi. Li Ke didn't have time to think about why he was here, and asked anxiously: "Ninth brother, tell me who your sixth brother is."  meaning!"

    "It's very simple!" Li Zhi pushed Li Min away, picked up the newspaper on the table and said, "Brother Six. Brother Yan, look at the articles here. There are not many that I can understand. Even though I am young,  , but I have been reading for several years. But I still can¡¯t read the newspaper, so how can you ensure that everyone who buys the newspaper can understand it?¡±

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  After all, newspapers are mainly a carrier of information, not to express personal literary talents.

    After figuring this out, Yan Bei and Li Ke immediately made corrections and typed back all the articles. They required that the thoughts expressed should remain unchanged, but all obscure parts should be changed to be more straightforward, as long as they can be read by people.  Just understand it, don¡¯t ask for too much literary talent.  Although this request was a bit repulsive to many newspaper staff, under the pressure of Yan Bei and Li Ke, it was still implemented smoothly.

    It was under Li Min's intervention that the first issue of Datang Daily achieved good results. The plain writing style made readers seem to have no obstacles at all and spread their opinions smoothly, thus arousing strong enthusiasm in the entire society.  In the second issue of the newspaper, Li Min put forward a new request, that is, asking newspaper staff not to rush to write after receiving the news, but to find people who have personally experienced the news for interviews.

    In this regard, Li Ke set an example and took the lead in finding Li Yong, a person who had personally experienced the Goguryeo battlefield. Using him as the first perspective, he introduced this great journey of conquest to readers in several installments, interspersed with the author's comments from time to time. This kind of  The writing method, which is similar to telling a story, was immediately welcomed by readers. Through Li Yong's personal experience, it can also arouse readers' immersive feeling and understand the situation on the battlefield more realistically.

    It is precisely because of Li Ke's report that it not only brought him great reputation, but also made Li Yong the idol worshiped by many girls in Chang'an. Some people even ranked him after Li Min and called him the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty.  Two examples of prodigal sons returning home.  Princess Hejian is very busy these days dealing with the matchmaker for Li Yong. But according to Li Yong, his mother is busy, but she smiles from ear to ear every day, and by the way she doesn't care much about Li Min.  Angry.

    The fame of Li Ke and Li Yong is just retribution.As a side effect, Li Min's sinister intentions are slowly being accepted by everyone as the newspapers spread.

    Dengxian Restaurant in Chang'an City, because the main proprietor of this restaurant is Wang Zihao, plus Li Min's shares, its food and wine are the best in Chang'an City, so it soon surpassed the original Junzi Restaurant, which was the largest in Chang'an City.  It has become the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Chang'an.

    It's almost noon, and the hall of Dengxian Tower is already full of guests. Many people who want to come for dinner will be told by the waiter as soon as they walk into the store that the hall on the first floor is full. If they want to eat, they can only get  The private seats on the second floor are just more expensive. Although there are still some empty seats in the lobby on the first floor, they have been booked in advance.

    As noon approached, the number of empty seats in the hall was decreasing rapidly, and soon there was only one empty table left. At this moment, three more people walked in from outside the store. As soon as these three people came in, they immediately attracted many people.  The lack of attention is mainly due to the fact that the appearance of the three of them is really special. The one walking in the front is a super fat man with a waist circumference of at least five feet. He is wearing a tacky sapphire blue military uniform, and his behavior is also a bit rustic.  You can tell by looking at him that he is a rich country man.  When this fat man came over, he blocked the originally not very wide passage, and accidentally bumped into the tables on both sides, so he had to apologize constantly. Fortunately, although this man was fat, he was kind-hearted.  No one deliberately made things difficult for him.

    After the big fat man came over, the two people behind him showed their figures. In comparison, the two people behind the fat man looked normal. One of them, the older one, was wearing a green robe and had a gray beard.  There is a sense of shrewdness all over his body, and you can tell he is a businessman at a glance.  The last one is relatively young, looking to be in his twenties at most, tall and elegant, wearing a blue scarf, and he looks like he should be a scholar.

    A rich man, a shrewd businessman, and a scholar, these three people who were originally unrelated to each other naturally attracted the attention of many people.  However, the three of them acted very naturally. Under the guidance of the waiter, they walked to the last empty table and sat down.

    "Third brother, why did you rush to find me and Da Lang today?" Although the shrewd businessman was older, he was also very impatient. As soon as he sat down and ordered the food, he immediately asked the big fat man  road.  Judging from the tone of his words, he and Fatty should be brothers.

    "Brother, don't be anxious. Since I have brought you and Da Lang here, of course there is something very important. Let's talk while we eat when the food is served!" The big fat man did not answer the elder brother's words, but looked greedy.  said.

    "Uncle, don't be too anxious. Third uncle finally came to Chang'an. If he doesn't taste the delicacies of Dengxian Tower, how can he be willing to do so?" At this time, the young scholar also laughed and said.

    After hearing this and looking at the clothes of the three of them, the people around them finally understood that these three uncles and nephews should be from a typical small family. The scholar's uncle is a businessman and manages the family's business, and the third uncle  In managing the family's fields in his hometown, the scholar's father came second, but he may have died of illness or other reasons, so the young scholar took the lead in their house.

    After the scholar finished speaking to the businessman uncle, he turned to the fat third uncle and said: "Third uncle, my nephew told you that you should also stop eating. If you continue to be so fat, I am afraid it will be bad for your health!"

    Although the scholar is younger in age, he is a scholar supported by the clan. The future development of the family will all depend on his performance in official career, so his status in the clan is relatively high and he does not appear to be in front of the two elders.  Restricted.

    Hearing his nephew's kind advice, the fat landlord smiled sheepishly and said: "Hey, Dali is indeed a scholar, and he knows a lot of things. I felt a little tight in my chest a few days ago. After I came to Chang'an, I even went out of my way to find him.  I had a good doctor take a look at it, and they said it was because I was too fat, so they asked me to control my diet, and I will definitely do it when I go back!"

    The fat rich man only said that he would go back and do as he was told. The implication was that he had finally come to Chang'an and would definitely have a big meal. He would talk about losing weight when he got back.  Businessmen and scholars also knew the character of the fat rich man very well. After hearing this, they all shook their heads helplessly and were too lazy to persuade him.

    After a while, the drinks and dishes they ordered came one after another. Although there were only three of them, they ordered a table full of dishes, and they were all Dengxianlou's signature dishes. But looking at the fat man's figure, there was no need to worry about eating these dishes.  Not finished.

    After the food and wine were served, the fat rich man let his stomach go and had a big meal. The businessman and the scholar waited patiently, and finally waited until he had almost finished the food. The businessman then asked: "Third brother, you can say it now."  Bar!"

    The fat rich man wiped the greasy mouth at this time, smiled at his eldest brother and nephew, and then said: "Brother, Da Lang, I want to exchange our land."?Part!  "^-^^-^
