Chapter 1958 Ball Report
Two days have passed since the shareholders' meeting. Everything has been calm during these two days. The disaster that Li Shen had predicted did not come, but Li Shen always felt a little uneasy.
He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
The news that Prince Ji's Mansion had summoned the playboys for a meeting had been widely circulated in the past two days. It was also reported that Prince Ji's Mansion would hold the preliminaries of the first Tang Dynasty World Cup football match in the near future.
A shop with prize-winning guessing games has also been opened in the industrial park. As long as you guess the result correctly, you will receive corresponding rewards.
This news sparked heated discussions among the people of the entire city, as this was one of the few grand events in recent years.
At the same time, the Prince Ji's Mansion announced that the Tang Daily was officially renamed the Tang News, and a new Tang Football News was added to specialize in reporting football information.
"How about the betting tickets printed by the printing house?"
In the study of Prince Ji's mansion, Li Shen was sitting on a rocking chair, with Wang Xuance, Wang Hongfu and Pei Mingli sitting beside him.
"Your Highness, five thousand copies have been printed, about fifty thousand copies in total." Wang Xuance was in charge of the printing factory, and he quickly stood up and replied.
"It took so long to get only 50,000 tickets. How many games can they be used for? There are hundreds of thousands of sellers in the industrial park and merchants coming and going.
Even if 10,000 people buy them, they will only be used for five games. No, we need at least 100,000 tickets, and we need to be ready to print more at any time."
Li Shen shook his head immediately after hearing this. How could 50,000 tickets be enough? The industrial park is a world-class wholesale market with a huge flow of customers every day.
In addition to domestic merchants, there are also many merchants from all over the world gathered here.
With so many people, they can sell at least 10,000 tickets a day, right?
"Your Highness, the templates and paints at the printing factory are all ready, but the paper mill is running out of paper, so the process is slow."
Wang Xuance reported.
"Paper mill?" Li Shen looked at Wang Hongfu, who quickly stood up.
"Your Highness, the paper used for the competition is a newly developed formula, which is different from the paper used by the bank. The craftsman was slow to tell me the reason, but he didn't tell me the reason in detail."
He only managed the paper mill and had no access to many things. Besides, he didn't understand them. Even if he saw them, he wouldn't recognize them.
"Well, tell the craftsmen to hurry up as much as possible. We can't delay making money. Once the technology is mature, we will increase the production volume. Maybe it can be used in other places in the future."
Li Shen also understood that it was difficult to intervene in such technical issues, and he was an outsider. If he forced intervention, it might backfire.
"Yes, I will make them faster when I go back." Wang Hongfu nodded.
"Your Highness, after the name of this newspaper is changed, do you have any other requests?" Wang Xuance asked again.
Li Shen thought about it and shook his head:
“There are no requirements, just keep it the same as before. As for the football newspaper, it will only publish things related to football.
In the early stage, we asked someone to write about the process of the competition. We needed someone with good literary talent, who could write about the process of the competition in a way that made people feel as if they were there.
There are also individual team situations.”
"But Your Majesty, our printing factory cannot guarantee that it can report every event in a timely manner. It is possible that many days have passed after the printing, and several games have been held."
Wang Xuance reminded.
"Well...it doesn't matter, just do as I say. I also want to add some fun to the people of Chang'an.
No matter what day the content is from, the time of the next game, the team and other information must be published at the end. "
Li Shen also knew that backward technology made it impossible to provide real-time reporting. All he could do was try to bring some happiness to the people.
He believed that since he promoted storytellers several years ago, as long as his football newspaper was published, there would be storytellers in major restaurants and teahouses to tell the stories to everyone.
After hearing this, Wang Xuance nodded and accepted the order, as long as King Ji did not ask for it to be done quickly.
Li Shen pondered for a moment and then said slowly:
"In fact, I also want to publish a newspaper. I have already chosen a name for it. It is called Chang'an Jingdu Newspaper."
"Chang'an Kyoto News?"
Several people were a little surprised.
"Then I wonder what the Chang'an Kyoto News will write about?" Wang Xuance asked.
"We will study what happens every day in Chang'an and its surrounding areas and solve some of the difficulties people face in production and life.
For example, there is a big pothole on an official road due to disrepair, making it difficult for common people to travel and for merchants' horse-drawn carriages to pass, but the local government does nothing and does not repair the road for a long time.
We can write this matter in the newspaper, and I believe it can be resolved soon.
If there are local tyrants who oppress the people, we can also write it down. I don’t believe that we can’t control them.”
Li Shen explained that this was the model for the newspaper on life issues.
"Your Highness, this will offend people." Pei Mingli reminded in a low voice.
"Offend people? Do you think I'm afraid of offending people? I'm showing mercy by reporting this matter instead of punishing them directly.
Mingli, remember, don't be afraid of offending people in Prince Ji's Mansion. Go out with your head held high. No matter whether they are officials or nobles, confront them if you don't agree.
As long as we are right, I will kill them. " Li Shen heard Pei Mingli's words with disdain on his face.
What else do I have to be afraid of? In the entire Chang'an City, except for my father and the prince, anyone who goes against me will be a meritorious official, and their work will weaken the powerful and strengthen the imperial power.
Even your own father has to cheer you on and beat the drums to encourage you.
Especially for aristocratic families and powerful people, my father is very willing.
Pei Mingli did not expect Prince Ji to be so domineering. His many years of experience in officialdom told him that in the officialdom of Chang'an, one should have more friends and more paths.
But King Ji actually wanted to make enemies everywhere. However, Pei Mingli could only answer what King Ji said.
"Your Majesty is right. I will never bring disgrace to the reputation of Prince Ji's Mansion when I am outside."
"Well, that's good. If there is anything that cannot be resolved, you come back and tell me, and I will help you." Li Shen nodded with satisfaction.
"Xuan Ce, what do you think of my idea?" Li Shen asked Wang Xuance again.
Wang Xuance thought about it.
“Your Highness, this is a good idea, but we don’t have that many people right now. To achieve the effect you mentioned, I’m afraid we need to train in advance.
Moreover, the printing workshop is now already saturated with work. If the prince wants to publish another newspaper, he will need to expand the printing workshop and add more craftsmen.
In my opinion, it is better to report some things in the Tang News for the time being, and it will not be too late to talk about it later when there is enough time."
Wang Xuance tactfully persuaded Li Shen to give up this idea. The workload of the printing workshop was too heavy now, and there was no way to open another newspaper.
Moreover, Wang Xuance thought that there was no need to publish the Chang'an Kyoto Newspaper.
(I came across a very good topic on Douyin today.
It is said that no one in history can be compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, Empress Ma.
But some people also say that Empress Changsun is comparable.
