"Now I suddenly became sensible."

Li Mu smiled, stretched his waist and said, "Okay, the gambling house will open tomorrow. There are countless things waiting to be done. I'm going to bed."

"Yeah." The two women responded, Li Zhien made the bed attentively, Bai Qiaoqiao prepared the clothes that Li Mu would wear tomorrow, put them on the table, and then blew the lights.

The night was quiet. Li Mu was probably tired of working today and did nothing. He just snuggled in Bai Qiaoqiao's arms, hugged Li Zhien, and slept quietly all night.

...

As the sky was dawn, there was a long queue in front of the printing supervisor of the Craftsman's House. "Newsellers" all over Chang'an waited here early to buy newspapers. Today's newspapers have increased their prices. From the initial number of pieces, they only cost a penny to the current one. In other words, if there are more content today, there are two newspapers, and three, they will cost three.

The newspaper seller bought the newspaper at a price of one piece by one. Then he went to each store to sell it at a double price. One article turned into two articles, and two articles turned into four articles. In terms of profit margin, this is a very good deal. Who can keep making twice the profit in other industries? Therefore, the profession of newspaper seller is becoming more and more popular.

The reason for the popularity is that more and more people read newspapers. After all, even when the content is the most, the Tang Dynasty Daily only has three pieces of paper. Six cents are not a big burden for the people of Chang'an City. Even if they work as a hard laborer in the east and west markets, the lowest income will be sixty or seventy every day. The shopkeepers of their own stores earn at least 1,500 and 600 a day, and buying a newspaper is nothing.

The desire for knowledge about new things is enough to make them willing to spend the money. Especially recently, Tang Guan, the original editor-in-chief of the Datang Daily, who was named "Seven Young Masters of the Tang Family", came out again and was serialized by Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu. The two story books "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of the Red Chamber" he collected and compiled were even more irresistible. The sales of newspapers have almost doubled within seven days.

The production capacity of the printing supervisor was challenged again, and now he has been working in three shifts, printing day and night. During the day, the "Qianjin Fang" and "The Secret Scroll of the Imperial Examination" written by Li Mu, and at night, newspapers were printed, but the supply was still insufficient.

If the newspaper sellers come late, they will not be able to grab the newspaper at all. They can only watch others make money, but they cannot make money themselves. Therefore, the people queuing up these few days are getting earlier and earlier.

With a creaking sound, the sealing gate opened. The people who were squatting or standing heard the sound from the gate, and they squeezed forward as if they had heard a command gun. As soon as they reached the door, a thick wooden stick poked out from the door and called out the person who stepped in first. Bi Lao San's voice came out: "Come in line, come by the number, whoever does not abide by the rules anymore, let me see, don't come tomorrow, and you won't sell you if you line up!"

The same thing is shouted every day, but the results are very little. Moreover, Bi Laosan is really unwilling to be ruthless. He is also a hard-working person, and he is just for the sake of making a living. Whose job is lost?

However, it was still somewhat useful. As he shouted, the crowded people gradually lined up. The newspapers that had just been printed and the ink was a little sticky when they felt were carried out in bundles. Each bundle was 100 copies. Each person could only buy 100 copies. This was considering the amount of a newspaper seller who could sell it, and it was also to make more people have a good meal. Otherwise, if he bought 500 copies per person, he would probably not sell it and just switch hands to make money.

Today's newspapers are one or two. One hundred copies are two hundred words. The printing supervisor's request is that when queuing up, the money must be prepared. If you are queuing up and paying the money, you can only say sorry.

The often-coming newspaper sellers have already become familiar with these routines, taking newspapers with one hand and giving copper coins with the other hand. There is no one counting the copper coins, so they just pass the scale. The scale is adjusted with the weights. According to the standard Kaiyuan Tongbao money, if it is flat, it is enough, and if it is not even enough. Sometimes, if it is a piece of paper or two, it is just that.

Someone will choose these copper coins specifically. They are not Kaiyuan Tongbao, but Wuzhu coins from the previous dynasty. They will be picked out and sent to the bank for equal weight Kaiyuan Tongbao coins. These unruly coins will be uniformly melted and recasted into Kaiyuan Tongbao coins and then circulated into the market. It is naturally costly to melt and refine them, but this is a necessary process. Unified currency is the financial foundation of a country.

When the newspaper seller receives the newspaper, he will go out from another door, and then return to his own shop and start selling it. Today, there are two newspapers, so they are naturally printed. When the newspaper seller sells the newspaper, he usually makes a shout, similar to the "title party", which will attract people to buy newspapers. Therefore, the newspaper seller usually recognizes a few words and will read the newspaper in advance.

Wang Saner is such a newspaper seller. He is in his thirties. Twenty years ago, when Chang'an was still called Daye, his family had a fortune in Chang'an City and studied for a few years. Later, the Sui Dynasty was destroyed and his shop was destroyed by war. From then on, the family fell into ruin. By recognizing words, he went from "reading newspaper" to "selling newspaper". He earned at least a hundred documents a day, and his life was acceptable.

He queued up early today and was the fifth to get the newspaper. Of course, he went to Xishi City. There were many people in Xishi City. When he was carrying the newspaper, he took out a newspaper and swept it quickly.

Pingkangli Sihai Gambling House, a new deal for Zhuluhou, opening at You hour, You, Xu and Hai three hours, sprinkling "money rain" on time every hour?

Wang Saner lived in his thirties and was the first time he heard about the word "Qian Yu". Did he lose money from the sky? He shook his head, and he really couldn't imagine what kind of scene it was. But he was not surprised by this matter about Zhulu Hou. That was Zhulu Hou. How could the idea he came up with was something that ordinary people could think of?

Wang Saner kept this in mind and thought to himself that by the hour of You, he would finish his work and go for a walk. If it really rains, he would pick up some points.

Follow the newspaper and read, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" section, the "Dream of the Red Chamber" section, and further down, there is another matter about Zhuluhou.

From the first to the eighth day of the lunar month, Zhulu Hou set up a stage at Jingdong Ji to hold a "Warriors and Forest Conference" and invite the golfers from all directions to participate. For detailed rules and rewards, please pay attention to the recent Datang Daily.

Another big thing.

Going further down, there is nothing left. Wang Saner glanced at it and it was obvious that the topic of today was these two things.

After stepping into the western city, Wang Saner cleared her throat and shouted: "Come and see, Sihai Gambling House has opened, money has dropped from the sky!"

"Come and come and see. Zhulu Hou convened a martial arts conference and invited all the gossips from all directions!"

The shouts sounded, and the shops on both sides of the road opened. The shopkeepers took out a few copper coins from their arms and handed them to Wang Saner.

"Give me one,"

"I want one too..."

Before he could walk twenty meters, the newspaper had already sold more than a dozen copies. Wang Saner happily counted the money and thought to himself that he would be done early today. After selling the newspaper, he would go to the construction site in Dongcheng and earn a salary.

...

"Give me a newspaper, too."

Li Mu reached out from the carriage, threw a piece of silver to the newspaper seller, and grabbed the newspaper from the newspaper seller.

"This noble man can't find money..."

Fang Yiai glanced at the newspaper seller and said, "Don't you recognize this car? When did Zhulu Hou buy things? When did someone find money?"

"Ah!" The newspaper seller was startled. Seeing Fang Yiai's big shoulders and round waist, he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. He held the broken silver in his palm, as if he was afraid of being stolen, he quickly slipped away.

Li Mu said angrily: "Xiao Ai, you can't do it. Why don't I need to find money? My money was not blown by the strong wind? It was also earned by my hard work and sweat. I just didn't bring copper coins? Why, is this kind of reputation in the market?"

Fang Yiai blushed and said, "Mr. Marquis, can you not call me Xiaoai? My name is Fang Jun. Yiai is my name."

"Yes, I'll call you to express my kindness."

"That should also be called Fang Yiai, not Xiaoai!"

"Okay, love Jiang."

"What does Aijiang mean?" Fang Yiai was about to collapse. If he hadn't felt that he could not beat Dugu Jiu who was sitting on the shaft of the car, he would have really taken action.

After scanning the newspaper, Li Mu poked his head out and laughed, "Ai Jiang is..."

"Ai Jiang means that he said you are a girl." Suddenly a voice came over, Li Mu looked over in the voice and saw a little donkey. On the donkey's back, a little monk was sitting.

There was also a car behind the little monk. Master Huiri also lifted the curtain and bowed to Li Mu very embarrassedly, scolding: "Ikyu, why are you so rude? Zhulu Hou is talking, what are you getting involved?"

"He said that this brother was a girl, so I just reminded me. This brother was obviously a man, and the Marquis was cursing people."

"This is called joking. You little bald man knows nothing!" Li Mu hummed in anger and put down the curtain. The little bald man had never met him since he scolded that day, but he had met him for some reason today.

Master Huiri's voice came over and said, "Marty, I'm really sorry. My disciple doesn't understand etiquette, so don't be angry."

"It's not that you are angry, but Master Huiri, are you planning to stay in Chang'an? If Your Majesty doesn't see you, you won't leave?"

"Oh..." Master Huiri sighed, and was also very embarrassed, and said with a stern tongue: "There is a saying in the Central Plains that the golden stones of sincerity can be opened. We believe that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will always see us one day."

"Okay, I wish you good luck." Li Mu said, and wanted to speed up Dugu Jiu. He was too lazy to be an international friend. Even though his impression of Ikkyu was pretty good, it was only limited to a little memory of his previous life. This Ikkyu is definitely not the Ikkyu who he had watched the cartoon in his previous life. It was a thousand years away.

Huiri's voice came again and said, "Marty, we are going to the Duke of Yiguo's mansion today."

"Oh?" Li Mu lifted the curtain when he heard the three words "Duke Yi" and asked, "Why, go and congratulate?"

"No, the Marquis misunderstood." Master Huiri quickly explained, "I am a medical monk who has devoted myself to studying medical skills for many years. Although I cannot compare with the famous doctors in the Tang Dynasty, I also have my own expertise. I heard that Duke Yi of the Kingdom of War fought in all directions in his early years, suffered internal injuries and often coughed up blood. I happened to be good at this, so I wanted to volunteer to go and treat Duke Yi of War."

Li Mu laughed and said, "You are a doctor, have you heard Sun Simiao's name?"

"Of course I have heard of it. Lord Sun Simiao is a miraculous doctor."

"You can cure the disease if he can't even cure it?"

Master Huiri said solemnly: "The Marquis doesn't know anything. In the path of medicine, there is no one who knows omnisciently. Doctor Sun is the most skilled in medicine. He also has symptoms that he has never seen before and medicinal materials. I dare not say that I can beat Doctor Sun. But in terms of treating internal injuries, I have my own secret recipe. There is a bitter root medicine that only grows in Japan and is best at treating internal injuries. I want to give it a try."

"That's it..." Li Mu nodded and said, "You are right, Duke Yi is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. If you want to treat him, you have to take responsibility. If it cannot be cured, your life will be gone. Not only your life, the entire mission will not be able to leave. But if you are cured, I will repay you as a favor. You want to see Your Majesty, and I will arrange it after the New Year."

Master Huiri's eyes shone: "Mr. Marquis is serious?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "If you believe, you have it; if you don't believe, you won't. Let's do it."

After saying that, he put down the curtain and signaled Dugu Jiu to accelerate. The two cars were staggered, and Master Huiri looked at Yixiu and said, "Yixiu, this is our only opportunity! I hope the efforts of our master and apprentice will not be in vain."

"Um!"

...

"arrive!"

Eunuch Gao got out of the car and spoke out for a reminder.

Li Shimin lifted the curtain and said to Queen Changsun next to him: "Wugui, this is the new deal that Li Mu has opened. This is the first time I have come to the Sihai Gambling House."

"Let's go down and see." Queen Changsun said, Li Shimin nodded, got out of the car, reached out and followed Queen Changsun's hand, and helped her get out of the car.

Today, both of them were "during a tour in a squad" but they were also dressed as a rich man. As soon as he got out of the car, a gangster approached with a smile on his face. Eunuch Gao immediately became alert and stopped him from a distance, saying, "Who are you? What are you going to go forward?"

The gang was stunned and quickly explained, "This master invited me. The youngest one is a clerk from the Sihai Gambling House. Master Gou told me to welcome guests here. Please give me the carriage inside. I will place it in the backyard for you, and I will serve you in the backyard. I will take you with good grass and materials. When you leave, I will bring you over and not delay your affairs."

"This..." Eunuch Gao looked at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin smiled and said, "It was the thing that the kid had done again. Is it okay for him to feed him? Isn't it okay if someone feeds the horse?"

Only then did Eunuch Gao hand over the carriage to the gang, but he wondered in his heart, who is this dog?

Just as he was thinking, Ergou walked out of the gambling house and was startled when he saw Eunuch Gao. He quickly wanted to greet him. When he saw Li Shimin next to Eunuch Gao, he opened his mouth and closed his mouth again. This distinguished guest was not something he could entertain, so he turned around and ran inside.
