The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2256: This flattery is a stroke of genius

"Your Majesty, Cheng Sanlang is here again." Zhao Kun approached Li Shimin and reported in a low voice.

Li Shimin was watching his beloved wife Avalokitesvara and his daughter Li Mingda play Go, when he heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes unhappily.

"Hehe... That kid will come as soon as he comes, why, do you still want me to go out to meet him?"

"No, no, Your Majesty, Cheng Sanlang and His Highness the King of Wu brought over two carts of stones, as well as a workbench for cutting stones, and said they were all gifts for His Majesty."

"Stones, gifts?" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Kun in confusion, and then glanced at the mother and daughter who were still concentrating on playing chess.

Then he walked towards the gate of the hall lightly, and after a short time, he came to the gate of the hall and saw Cheng Sanlang not far away.

Instructing the soldiers of the Imperial Army to unload the stones, there are four strangely shaped gadgets, which must be the workbench that Cheng Sanlang mentioned.

"I said Cheng Sanlang, didn't you say you were going to bring treasures to this old man today, are these things the treasures you claim?"

Cheng Chubi picked up a small but heavy jadeite rough, shook it a little nervously and said.

"Hey, father-in-law, don't look at these stones as ugly in appearance, but they are all beautiful in heart."

Li Ke, who had just greeted his father beside him, heard this, and almost didn't take it directly, what a beautiful soul...

Li Shimin raised his fingers and pointed at this daughter-loving husband, really didn't know what to say to express his surging mood at the moment.

"You boy, can you speak more seriously?"

"My son-in-law is really not talking nonsense, come here, father-in-law, look at this stone that my son-in-law has already opened the window, look at it..."

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang suspiciously, then picked up the stone and looked it over carefully, ouch...it really is.

After a piece of the stone skin of this ugly and black stone was worn away, the oily and vibrant green inside was exposed.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. "It's such a beautiful green color, and it's so oily, it's really pleasing to the eye."

"Emerald?" Li Ke, who was on the side, approached and looked at it twice, and said with a very experienced look.

"Heh, emerald? Please, emerald is emerald. This is the top-quality emerald that can be called imperial green."

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, squinted his eyes at Cheng Sanlang, and then glanced at the beautiful and oily green.

Especially compared with the ugly stone skin, it is even more precious.

"You kid, even the flattery is so fresh and refined, hahahaha, emperor green, not bad..."

#####

"???" Cheng Chubi looked at the old father-in-law who seemed to be very kind-hearted at the moment, smiling happily, and looking at the beautiful piece of window material happily.

Did I kiss ass? It really doesn't. But considering that my father-in-law who doesn't talk about martial arts is an emperor.

Forget it, forget it, if you think I’ll shoot it, then I’ll shoot it, anyway, flattery is not worth much, if you want it, son-in-law, I’ll do it directly in the warehouse for wholesale.

Li Ke secretly gave Brother Chu Bi a thumbs up with a sincere face. "???" Cheng Chubi looked at the bad prince with a dark face. Why do you see things in such a strange way?

"My dear brother, what you said is ambiguous. Do you think our old Cheng's family is not good?"

Seeing Brother Chu Bi's darkened face, Li Ke immediately followed suit smoothly.

"Absolutely not. My brother, I mean, tens of thousands of people praise your old Cheng's restaurant together. In this way, won't your family's business grow bigger and bigger?"

"That's natural, so, for the first issue of the newspaper, our old Cheng family will customize a quarter of the full-page newspaper to advertise.

Our old Cheng family went out first, and our Cheng family paid 100 yuan for advertising, which can be regarded as a sample for the latecomers.

If there are merchants who want to advertise this length in our newspapers in the future, at least they can't lower the price. "

Hearing Cheng Chubi's words, Li Ke, who was originally a smart man and flexible enough, suddenly realized the benefits that this kind of advertisement could bring.

"Brother Chu Bi, brother, I also have a few shops, can I also advertise here?"

"Of course it can be used, just calculate the money according to the area, one quarter is one hundred guan, one eighty percent is fifty guan.

If it is an advertisement the size of a tofu block, it is not impossible to consider Shiguan, but the effect of the advertisement will definitely not be very eye-catching. "

Li Ke smacked his lips, his eyes sparkled, and he began to raise his fingers and mutter.

"Our city of Chang'an is so big and there are so many scholars, it would be inappropriate not to print 30,000 to 50,000 copies.

If the cost is one penny for three sheets, we sell one sheet for one penny, and 30,000 copies, how much will the cost be?

In addition to the advertising fee, ouch, if this month can be printed every three or five days, our brothers..."

"My dear brother, don't be too optimistic. At the beginning, take your time. In the early days, we will report according to the upper, middle and lower thirty, and report every ten days..."

From time to time, the wild and frightening laughter of the brothers who cut the chicken head and burned the yellow paper came from the hall, and the maids outside the house looked sideways at each other.

That beautiful young lady who was often regarded by Cheng Chubi as the waiter in the shop put down the soup pot in her hand, rubbed her sore hands and said unwillingly.

"It's really weird. Every time that Cheng Sanlang comes to stay with our lord, he acts like he's not doing anything good."

The young lady next to him who had seen His Highness almost being beaten by Cheng Sanlangxi in the study and rescued His Highness in time also agreed reluctantly.

"That's right, our prince is such a good person, but he has such a good relationship with Cheng Sanlang, it's really..."

#####

The two agreed to discuss it with His Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow~lightnovelpub.net~ Cheng Chubi got up and left contentedly.

The next day, after the East Palace Xiaochao meeting ended, Li Ke came over in time, and together with Cheng Chubi, spoke to Li Chengqian about the benefits of running a newspaper.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke, the third younger brother who seemed more excited, and nodded slightly. "After hearing what you said, I think it is feasible."

"It's just that you two have thought about it. Don't forget that the largest shareholder is staying in the palace. Do you think you can persuade him?"

Cheng Chubi and Li Ke couldn't help being stunned, and they almost forgot about the largest shareholder again. It's so dangerous, if Li Mingda's cutie knows that doing big things has nothing to do with her, tsk tsk tsk...

Cheng Chubi suspected that even if he made a hundred catties of anhydrous honey chicken cake, it might not be able to appease the royal heart.

"Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness, since His Highness also thinks it is feasible, why don't we take some time to enter the palace?"
