His Majesty personally conquered Goguryeo and won.

Liaodong Road was established!

Through letters sent by flying pigeons and publicity in various newspapers, the news had spread throughout Hebei Province, Henan Province and Guanzhong in just a few days.

Needless to say, businessmen flocked here.

Even some seemingly unrelated people came to Liaodong City.

"Master, judging from what I have learned in the past two days, the battle of the Tang Dynasty to destroy Goguryeo was much more exciting than what the newspapers said."

In a restaurant in Liaodong City, Guo Dezhi and Guo Yunhe were sitting by the window, tasting delicious food and admiring the lively scene on the street.

As the gold medal storytellers of Wuheju and Ajinomoto, the pair of mentors and apprentices, Guo Dezhi and Guo Yunhe, are now regarded as the leaders of the storyteller community in Chang'an City.

Over the years, as their status has stabilized, they no longer perform in person every day. They will only come out to speak on some special days or when they have good storytelling materials.

However, this not only did not damage their reputation, but invisibly improved their godhood.

Even the business of Wuheju and Ajinomoto will become better because of their appearance.

As a result, they cherish their feathers more and more and are unwilling to say things that have no connotation.

However, although Chang'an City is large, it is not that easy to find some interesting stories every day.

When the army led by Li Shimin defeated Goguryeo in Liaodong and some stories slowly spread through newspapers such as "Datang Daily" and "Chang'an Evening News", Guo Dezhi was keenly aware of a new opportunity.

Go to Liaodong to find first-hand materials.

Compiling various stories about the Tang Dynasty's expedition to Goguryeo will not only satisfy my storytelling needs for a long time, but also take this opportunity to publish a book.

Guo Dezhi even thought of the title of the book, and it was called "Liaodong Begins with Your Majesty's Personal Conquest".

As for whether this long trip will affect Wuheju's business, Guo Dezhi can't control that much.

"Yes, it seems now that not only did the army led by His Majesty achieve a great victory in Liaodong, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the general manager of the march in Pyongyang Road, also made a lot of contributions. Even his actions in Pyongyang were even more charming.

It is full of magic and can give us storytellers a lot of room to play. But unfortunately, so far, we can only get information from some ordinary soldiers. It would be great if we could communicate with the generals who directly lead the army in battle.

Already."

Guo Dezhi is full of expectations for this trip to Liaodong.

Judging from the first few days, the situation was also very satisfactory to him.

"Master, in fact, with your reputation in Chang'an City, all generals in the army who come from Chang'an should have heard of your name. Otherwise, we will find the most famous restaurant in Liaodong City, and then stay there every afternoon

Storytelling, through this, we can make friends with some new dignitaries in Liaodong City, or see if we can find people we know on this occasion? Provide more material for our new book."

When Guo Yunhe was in Chang'an City, he made some connections.

As for Guo Dezhi, who has been in the industry for a longer time? Naturally, he also has his own regular customers.

Although this kind of relationship is relatively weak, if you ask others to help you with something important, it is basically unreliable.

But if you just simply ask for some stories? It is still very possible to succeed.

"Although it feels a bit weird? But you can really give this method a try."

Guo Dezhi felt that he left Chang'an City to find materials for storytelling, for his own "Liaodong Begins with His Majesty's Personal Conquest".

Now, for these things? I have to tell stories in Liaodong City.

"Hmm? Then after we finish our meal, let's go and inquire about Liaodong City. Which restaurant is the most famous? That's the one we'll go to."

Guo Yunhe is not worried at all that he will be rejected.

In fact, the Tang people in Liaodong City are now completely people whom the Goguryeo people dare not mess with.

When the newly established police station handles cases, who else will accuse Tang people? No matter what, I will give you a slap in the face first.

No way? The hierarchical system implemented in Liaodong is different from other places.

If people of other classes want to rise above the first-class Tang people, they have to endure a beating first.

If you don't want to be beaten, you don't have to sue.

…

Jin Tai's third uncle, Jin Hua, was a down-and-out scholar. He missed the best opportunity to invest in Jin Tai's blacksmith shop, which made people regretful.

However, considering that Jinhua is his only surviving elder, Mrs. Jin still takes good care of him.

Some of the paperwork in Jintai's blacksmithing workshop was handed over to Jinhua, and he was given a very generous salary.

This time, Master Jin Tai and his disciples came all the way to Liaodong to start the semicolon, and Jin Hua also came with them.

However, in the early days of the workshop, there was no paperwork for Jinhua to handle.

So these days, Jinhua has been wandering around Liaodong City.

Although Jinhua is a bit idle and has a good eye but a low hand, he actually still has some talent.

"Xin'er, have you noticed that a lot of foreign merchants have come to Liaodong City during this period? They are very eager to know everything about Liaodong City and even Liaodong as a whole. I was in front of several grocery stores just now, and I heard someone ask

Are there any newspapers for sale?"

Although Jinhua was a scholar, he almost went crazy wanting to get rich.

For his only son, he directly named him Jin Xin.

After he was sent to the free elementary school in Jintai Workshop, Jinhua put Jin Xin into Jintai's blacksmith shop and asked him to help run the business, euphemistically saying: sharing the burden for his nephew.

"Aye, isn't this a normal thing? These merchants come to Liaodong, of course, to make money; and to make money, they naturally need to know more about the situation in Liaodong; other people who come to Liaodong City with various purposes

, also all have this need.”

Jin Xin is quite smart when he is running business, but he is only focused on promoting the products of Jintai Blacksmith Workshop, and he has no other thoughts about anything else.

"I noticed that the "Datang Daily" costs only one penny per copy in Chang'an City, but it costs five cents per copy in Liaodong City, and the supply is often in short supply. The news on it is already more than ten days ago.

But it's still so popular. Xin'er, do you think if Aye creates a newspaper in Liaodong City, can he sell it at a good price?"

Jinhua has wasted so many years and is also reflecting on what he has done.

Now that I suddenly discovered such a business opportunity, I couldn't help but discuss it with my son.

"Huh?" Jin Xin stopped and stared at himself, "Aye, you have a good idea. I will suggest to my elder brother soon that he consider opening a newspaper."

"Ah?" Jin Hua was stunned for a moment, "What Aye means is that our father and son will open a newspaper by ourselves. Why should we let Mrs. Jin do it? He is already so rich, so he doesn't need the newspaper's money. Besides,

When I was in Chang'an City, I had to read "Datang Daily", "Chang'an Evening News", "Qujiang Daily", and "Moon News" every day? None of you have the experience like me."

Jinhua finally discovered a business opportunity to make money, and naturally he was unwilling to miss it.

Although his own talents are relatively limited, because he reads newspapers and drinks tea every day, he has some understanding of newspaper layout, article writing and other things.

He even contributed articles to Datang Daily.

"Aye, you actually read "The Moon"?"

"Crack!"

Jin Hua's face turned red, but he immediately slapped Jin Xin on the head, and said angrily: "To grasp the point, I mean we can open a newspaper quickly. The scale does not need to be big, and the content does not need to be written.

How profound it is, just sort out what happened in Liaodong in the past year and what happens every day in Liaodong City, and publish it in the newspaper."

"Aye, are you serious?"

"Nonsense! Otherwise, what do you think?"

"If you really have this idea, then I support you!"

Jin Xin stared at Jin Hua's face for a long time, making sure that his unreliable father seemed to be serious this time.

As a result, his attitude towards running a newspaper naturally changed.

Chang'an City now has dozens of newspapers, large and small. If you don't have too much ambition, running a newspaper is actually not particularly difficult.

The difficulty lies in how you can ensure the newspaper's long-term survival while ensuring its influence.

"Okay, then I will go to Jin Tai to help with the guarantee and go directly to Datang Royal Bank to borrow a sum of money. When I just passed by, I saw that the Datang Royal Bank branch in Liaodong City has opened. There must be

There are many discounts there to attract everyone to borrow money.”

Jinhua was a bit more dignified and didn't directly ask Mrs. Jin to ask for it or borrow it.

In fact, if he had been thicker-skinned, Mrs. Jin would not have given him some shares in the workshop.

"Yes! But it's not that easy to open a newspaper. In addition to checking with the branch of the Datang Press and Publication Administration in Liaodong, we also have to hire a large number of craftsmen and purchase a batch of equipment. Liaodong is full of waste and is waiting for development.

Maybe the paper for printing newspapers may not be guaranteed. Also, Datang Daily maintains a group of writers to ensure that good articles and good news are published every day. If you want to

If so, these all need to be considered in advance.”

"So we have to find Jin Tai for a while. Let's get a newspaper. It will actually be good for Jin Tai's blacksmithing workshop. We can even just call the newspaper "Jintai Daily"."

It seems that Jinhua is relying on Mrs. Jin and feels that he must find a way to realize his dream. This is more important than anything else.

"Aye, forget it, you still deserve to be called "Liaodong Daily". We focus on the news happening in Liaodong, introduce the customs, climate and environment of Liaodong, and at the same time, we will introduce the siege battles in various cities this year.

The stories that happened will be compiled and published. By then, "Liaodong Daily" will be a must-have at home for people who have just arrived in Liaodong. Even if we sell it for ten cents a copy, some people will want it."

Jin Xin's mind was very flexible. After he made up his mind to support Aye in starting a newspaper, he immediately came up with some ideas.
