Half an hour later, under the protection of thousands of imperial guards and three hundred Xuanwu Guards, Chen Xu accompanied Qin Shihuang to the Academy of Sciences in a six-horse carriage.

Hundreds of officials and craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences were all cheering and cheering.

After the Academy of Sciences delivered a passionate speech, under the guidance of Chen Xu, Qin Shihuang came to the newspaper hall next door.

More than 100 people from the newspaper office lined up to greet him. Chen Xu also introduced Chen Ping, Qiu Cheng, Fu An, Ji Tong and other famous scholars from Fang family from all over the country. Qin Shihuang was also very happy to encourage him, and immediately choked up with the famous scholars Fu Anqiu Cheng who had been in Xianyang for many years but had not had the chance to be met by Qin Shihuang.

After following the Qinghe Hou, he was happy. After only half a month, the Marquis actually invited the emperor to his own hands to introduce him. Few people in the Qin Dynasty had enjoyed this honor.

In the newspaper office, Chen Xu took Qin Shihuang to carefully tell the General Affairs Office, Editorial Room, Typesetting Room and Printing Room. Qin Shihuang was interested in compiling a poem and book to type out several small poems. Then, under the guidance of several excited craftsmen who were unable to stand firm, he personally brushed ink and printed out a few pages of finished products.

"Okay, okay! This movable type printing is a magical technique. Many books can be quickly compiled and printed in the future. I am very happy. I have drafted an order to reward Qinghe Hou with ten glutinous fields, one hundred thousand yuan, and twenty pieces of silk..."

When Qin Shihuang was happy, he began to give rewards again and rewarded Chen Xu with a lot of things, which made Chen Xu laugh and cry.

I haven’t obtained the house and grain fields I gave me last time outside the city, so I have rewarded ten gluts of fertile land. Where can I find someone to farm? Besides, why do I want so much land?

However, the world belongs to Qin Shihuang, so he can reward him as much as he wants, and Chen Xu can only accept it obediently.

After the reward of Chen Xu, the biggest meritorious official, Qin Shihuang naturally did not forget to follow Chen Xu to a group of gangsters in the cultural circle. Chen Ping, Fu An, Qiu Cheng, Ji Tong and other groups of editors and supervisors were awarded a Lang position. Although the Lang position is currently all the Sesame officials with the ninth rank without power, these are all formal treatments with real official ranks, and can wear the official uniforms of Lang position, which can be considered as officially entering the aristocratic class.

Half an hour later, Qin Shihuang left the newspaper office and returned to the palace.

Seeing all the neatly ordered imperial guards leaving, a warm cheer instantly sounded from the newspaper office.

The reward this time was very sudden and violent. In addition to a group of people being promoted, the typesetting clerks, printers and helpers below received rewards of money, with a small amount of 500 yuan, which is also a considerable income for ordinary families.

"Mr. Marquis, does Your Majesty mean that we can start printing a large number of newspapers for sale now?" Editor-in-chief Qiu Cheng was very excited.

"No hurry. I will attend the court tomorrow. You should collect all the newspapers in your hands and organize them. I will take them to the court tomorrow and let the six ministers and ministers see them first!" Chen Xu shook his head.

"Marty, I want to keep this first newspaper as a souvenir!" Many people were reluctant to leave.

"Then print another 200 copies immediately, but remember that these newspapers cannot be circulated at the moment. Some things may need to be revised after going to court tomorrow. Once the court negotiates are approved, it will be the day when the newspaper office will make a fortune!"

"Hahahaha, you're making a fortune~" A cheer sounded again in the newspaper office.

Because whether it is Xianyang or the entire Daqin, those who can read are basically not too poor. Although Qiu Chengjitong and others are very down-and-out in Xianyang, they are still cultural people after all. They can earn more or less money at the houses of some officials, and they can earn some money. It is not a problem to have enough food and clothing. As long as they are not generous, they can still live a carefree life in the miscellaneous houses of Quyuan and drink and have fun all day. Unfortunately, these people have some money to drink and entertain, so poor has become a normal state.

Chen Xu asked Qiu Cheng and others that the retail price of this newspaper would definitely be crazy. There are tens of thousands of Fang family sorcerers in Xianyang alone, which does not include literate merchants and nobles. There is definitely no big problem in selling 30,000 copies of newspapers in Xianyang, and 30,000 copies are 300,000 copies. If you dig out the costs of paper and ink, you can earn at least six or seven coins per copy. This speed of making money can scare most wealthy merchants in the Qin Dynasty to death. Moreover, these newspapers will soon spread to counties across the country. The circulation of 100,000 copies of the first issue is probably not enough to buy.

Therefore, what everyone in the newspaper is worried about now is the speed of paper making in the paper mill outside the city, and the speed of printing. If a hundred thousand copies is made by such a small printing room, it will definitely not be possible. The four printing stations do not eat, drink, and stop, and they can only print about 3,000 copies a day, and 100,000 copies will have to be printed for a month. Therefore, it has become an urgent task to prepare a large printing factory.

However, as the saying goes, if you are anxious, you can't eat hot tofu. Everything has to be done step by step. Chen Xu's most important thing is to solve the monetary reform and money house affairs, and to solve the basic financial services that support the development of industry and commerce first. Only when the preliminary industrial system is built and commerce is released will agriculture be supported enough. When a large amount of money begins to flow to poor farmers, farmers will be able to purchase new agricultural tools, build houses, buy houses, and raise livestock. This is a linkage process.

The next morning, Chen Xu finished breakfast, packed up and brought two hundred tied newspapers to court.

The ministers who attended the court today also came neatly. Basically, all officials from the three provinces, six ministries and above were not allowed to all arrive. When Chen Xu walked into the court hall, the hall was almost full. Seeing the two envoys carrying a large bundle of hemp and paper and following Chen Xu in, the eyes of the civil and military officials of the court fell on Chen Xu.

"Qinghe Hou, why did you bring such a large bundle of hemp pulp and paper to court?" Li Si, who was sitting nearest, stroked his beard and greeted him curiously.

"Hehe, this is my memorial today!" Chen Xu laughed dryly.

Ga~, Li Si trembled his hand and pulled off a few beards, and his face shook a few times and said, "If... so many memorials, is Qinghe Hou ruling me?"

"Li Xiang doesn't have to be nervous. You don't need to review these memorials, you'll know in a while..."

"Your Majesty is here~" With the sound of the eunuch's long shout from the back hall, Chen Xu quickly stopped. With the sound of the collision of chairs, all the civil and military officials stood up. Then he saw Qin Shihuang strode out of the back hall, accompanied by palace servants and guards, just like every day.

"Welcome to Your Majesty~"

"Please sit down by all my dear friends~" Qin Shihuang walked to the front of the dragon chaise, glanced across the hall, and sat down with his sleeves in a steady manner.

"A few days ago, many of my dear friends mentioned the Huaxia Money House. Yesterday, I also discussed the matter with the Queen of Qinghe. Queen of Qinghe submitted a memorial to me to promote monetary reform. I think that monetary reform and the development of the money house are very important to the stability of our Qin country. Therefore, I asked the Queen of Qinghe to go to court to discuss politics today to discuss this matter." Qin Shihuang had a majestic expression, but his tone of speaking was calm and indifferent.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what monetary reform is?" Li Si, who was sitting under Chen Xu, stood up first.

As the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and the top leader of the Secretariat, and reform and promulgation of laws have always been his crops on the ground. Now Chen Xu has inexplicably created a new reform measure, and it is related to money when he hears it, so Li Si must stand up and raise questions without hesitation.

"Jiangfu Ling, give this currency theory to Li Xiang to watch!" Qin Shihuang pulled out a thin book from his sleeve and gave it to Jiang Heng standing next to him.

"Here~" Jiang Heng took the book with both hands, walked down nine steps and handed the book to Li Si.

Although Li Si was confused, he hurriedly looked around after taking it, and soon a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"Look at Feng Xiang!" Qin Shihuang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, spoke.

There was not much content, only seven or eight pages, so Li Si finished reading it quickly, and then handed the book to Feng Quji with a serious expression. Feng Quji quickly finished reading it, his face was similar to Li Si, but he was more surprised, and he looked at Chen Xu when he closed the book.

"After reading the two prime ministers, what do you think of Qinghe Hou's memorial for monetary reform?" Qin Shihuang asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, I have always had this intention about coin reform, but I am only worried about privately-made problems among the people, so I have never submitted a memorial. If the privately-made coins among the people cannot be eliminated, then this monetary reform will only intensify the transfer of wealth to copper and iron merchants. However, the memorial of Qinghehou mentioned that copper smelting and minting coins were taken under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu. Now that steel smelting is developing rapidly, it will inevitably replace copper ware in several years, so I think it can be implemented!" Li Si bowed and answered.

"I also think that monetary reform can be implemented! Since the pacification of Qi three years ago, it has been unified today, but the coins of various countries have not been completely unified. In addition to half a tael of coins, there are still a large number of currencies in the six countries in circulation, which has caused a lot of chaos. Moreover, due to the difficulty of transportation and storage of grain and cloth, it is very expensive. A large number of merchants have already begun to abandon grain and cloth for gold and copper trading. Therefore, I think it is necessary to carry out a strict regulation. The monetary reform proposed by Qinghe Hou did indeed follow the general trend, and the time and degree are in harmony. I agree!" Feng Quji also answered loudly.

"Very good. Since both prime ministers agree, then today's court discussion will discuss this matter properly and formulate a law to implement it as soon as possible. I also think that monetary reform is imminent!" Qin Shihuang nodded.

Chen Xu stood up with relief and bowed to Li Si and Feng Quji respectively: "Thank you for your support from the two prime ministers. Xu also believes that monetary reform is imperative, so today we will throw bricks and attract jade. Many details and laws require the cooperation of all the three provinces and six ministries!"

"We must do our best to do our best!" Li Si and Feng Quji bowed slightly to Chen Xu.

Since both prime ministers supported it, Qin Shihuang asked Jiang Heng to read the full text of the currency theory loudly in the court. In this way, all the civil and military officials of the court also knew the content of the monetary reform proposed by Chen Xu. After listening to it, they all said that the reform was very good and worthy of promotion. The two prime ministers understood the righteousness and the Marquis of Qinghe was also good, with a flexible mind, so they could split and take a look...

Chen Xu sat on the big bearskin chair and kept thrusting his face.

Damn, why is it so shameless? Although I know that most people are pushing Feng Quji and Li Si, many of them are so flattering that they are too explicit, and they are getting goose bumps all over their bodies.
