Chapter 523
"Well, Grandpa, you heard it right. We didn't see such a big one, but we saw a very big one..." Princess Yuzhang gestured to Li Shimin.
"Oh, there are such things in the sea! I didn't pay attention to these before. Is Xiao Ran's whale easy to catch?"
"No, uncle, it's hundreds of thousands of pounds. How do you want to catch it? How big a hook do you want, how strong a fishing rod and fishing line do you want? Even if you have all these and it's hooked, can you pull it up?"
"Fishing seems unrealistic. How do you get such a big fish?" Li Shimin was very interested in this.
"There are many weapons for killing whales in modern times. It's very dangerous for ships in the Tang Dynasty to do this, but you can try it. I don't know how to kill it. I can go check..."
"If you get a fish weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds, how many people can eat meat!" Li Shimin had a bold idea.
Several princesses took their mobile phones to share pictures of the underwater world with Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
"Xiao Ran, why don't you take me with you for such a good thing? I've never been to the beach!" Li Shimin felt it was very interesting, especially the interaction between dolphins and the little princess. Li Shimin wanted to raise one.
"How did I know you were free? I went there without thinking too much. Besides, the ancient city is not far away. It only takes an hour to get there. You can go anytime you want. Mingda and my second sister also want to see the dolphins again."
"Okay, okay, remember to call me next time... I don't really want to see it, but the queen has never seen it, and she has to see it." Li Shimin was afraid that Xiao Ran would ask for money again, so he used Empress Changsun as a shield.
Xiao Ran would definitely not ask Empress Changsun for money.
Facts proved that Li Shimin was right. Xiao Ran, who wanted money, didn't ask when he heard about Empress Changsun.
"Uncle, did you have something to do in the past?" Xiao Ran didn't bother about the money.
"It's nothing big. Wuji just wants to find something for Chong'er to do. Do you have any suitable arrangements?"
"Will he not go to the Academy of Arts to study and take the imperial examination?" Xiao Ran said subconsciously.
"He doesn't need to take the examination for his status!"
Xiao Ran nodded. Changsun Chong's starting point is higher than the first place in the imperial examination. There is really no need to take the imperial examination.
Changsun Wuji's contribution makes Changsun Chong's starting point higher than most people's end point.
This is a person born in Rome.
Li Lizhi wanted to say something, but she didn't say it after thinking about it, and looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.
"If other places are not suitable, then go to the newspaper!"
Li Lizhi knew that the newspaper was suitable, and Empress Changsun and Li Shimin must have thought of it.
Princess Yuzhang looked at Xiao Ran meaningfully.
They are not stupid. They all know that Changsun Chong is suitable to go here, but they didn't say it directly. They want to see if Xiao Ran is willing.
If Xiao Ran is unwilling, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun can't say anything.
"Can the newspaper work?" Li Shimin looked at Xiao Ran, wanting to see Xiao Ran's reaction.
"Why not? He is very suitable to go! He is Wu Niang's cousin, and they are considered a family. The importance of the newspaper should also be clear to my uncle. Such a place must let his own people go in!"
Xiao Ran emphasized the word "cousin" a little, reminding others that this is a relative. He and Li Lizhi are siblings.
Now that the Tang Dynasty does not allow close relatives to marry, in order to set an example, it is definitely impossible to make trouble again.
Xiao Ran believes in Li Lizhi's character. The daughter taught by Empress Changsun must not be bad.
Xiao Ran does not want a few people to think that he is too stingy and has no tolerance.
Agricultural College...More reasons are that Changsun Chong is indeed not suitable.
Li Lizhi did not say anything, Xiao Ran was very happy, and Empress Changsun and Li Shimin did not take the initiative to say it, giving Xiao Ran the right to choose.
Gave Xiao Ran enough respect.
"Yes, Chong'er is indeed suitable for the newspaper. He is well-read and knowledgeable. He should be able to help you and Lizhi." Li Shimin nodded.
"Yeah!" In the future, Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi should not be in charge all the time. Li Lizhi is the dean, but most things should be thrown to Chang Sun Chong.
Li Shimin may not trust other outsiders, but Chang Sun Chong is definitely at ease.
When the newspaper is running normally, he will slowly stop caring.
"You have to do it specifically. Others don't understand these things..." Li Shimin began to paint a rosy picture for Xiao Ran.
"Tomorrow I will bring some newspapers over there. You will know it after you read them, uncle."
"Newspaper? This thing is very important. Why don't I see other people reading it?" Princess Yuzhang didn't quite understand.
"This is something from the past. Fewer people read newspapers now, mainly because of the popularity of mobile phones. It can be regarded as a different form." Xiao Ran really didn't have many people reading newspapers around him.
Most ordinary people now, it is estimatedI haven't seen newspapers for a long time.
More than a decade ago, rural areas liked to use newspapers to paste walls, and the effect was good.
Many places are like this, which can be regarded as simple decoration more than a decade ago.
"Well, are these papers okay now? Or do they need to be redone?" Li Shimin asked.
"It has been improved before, and it is almost usable."
Li Tai is responsible for improving the papermaking technology. Although the improved paper is far inferior to that of the 21st century, it is much better than that before the Tang Dynasty.
The main reason is that the efficiency has been improved and the cost performance is high.
The Tang Dynasty also has very good quality Xuan paper, but this choice is basically for the royal family, otherwise it is not qualified to use it.
This kind of paper is definitely good, but the cost is also high, and the cost performance is low.
After the improvement of papermaking technology, the efficiency has been improved and the cost performance is also high.
It can be regarded as a little price reduction of Xuan paper, not much, but it is also an improvement and meaningful.
Chang Sun Chong and the newspaper have almost finished talking about the matter, Xiao Ran stood up, "I'll go out to see Mingda and Ermei."
"I'll go see too." Li Lizhi also hurriedly followed.
Princess Gaoyang got ready together and wanted to go find the two little princesses to play, but was pulled by Princess Yuzhang.
Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi left the Lizheng Hall.
Li Lizhi wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.
She was a little tangled for a while.
"It's okay, Wu Niang, don't think too much. This is normal and nothing big." Li Lizhi couldn't say it, so Xiao Ran just said it.
Li Lizhi looked at Xiao Ran with a slightly complicated look, but more of a relief.
"Okay!"
Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi's character is still fine.
Some things were not said, and everyone understood them in their hearts.
"We not only have to prepare a place to sell newspapers, but also a spacious place to print newspapers, which requires a lot of people..."
"I don't quite understand, young man, you said I'll find my grandfather and mother, it should be done soon."
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun both supported the newspaper.
This is to control the right of public opinion, which is very important to the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin.
Seeing Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi, the two little princesses also ran back.
"Little Nangjun~" The little princess ran between Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi and separated the two.
