(This title … Don't think too much about it!)
"Young Master, other than delivering the car, this old man came here today to discuss something with you."
In the front hall.
After Old Man Li and Mrs. Li left, Faubert said with a serious expression.
"Mm, Faubert, if you have something to say, just say it. You don't have to be restrained here, just say whatever you want."
Li Zexuan said warmly.
Faubert said with a smile, "Young Master, a group of businessmen came to the workshop today. They want to advertise their shops in the newspaper, which is what you said before. They are also willing to pay for it. One of the barbarian businessmen even offered five hundred strings of cash to buy a spot in the newspaper to advertise his restaurant. Ma Zhou couldn't make up his mind, so he asked this old man to come over and ask. "
The concept of advertising was something he heard from Ma Zhou. Now, he could be considered to have learned it and used it flexibly!
Li Zexuan was delighted. The real profitable business of the newspaper was finally here. It seemed that some people had a keen sense of smell!
Li Zexuan had asked Ma Zhou to estimate the cost of the newspaper. Even with the paper machine and movable type printing technology, the cost of a newspaper was still a little more than three copper coins on average. Calculating it this way, the newspaper itself wasn't profitable.
Li Zexuan was keen on the newspaper not only to satisfy his own interests, but also because of the huge potential value behind the newspaper. For example, advertising revenue and the control of public opinion.
Controlling public opinion didn't mean that Li Zexuan wanted to rebel and cause trouble. It was just to give himself an extra layer of protection. If others didn't come looking for trouble, he wouldn't take the initiative to cause trouble.
"Uncle Fu, you can agree to this, but you can only advertise in the middle column of every issue of the newspaper. There should be eight spots on both sides. How about this, in the future, our newspaper will hold an advertisement auction every seven days. We'll let the merchants come and bid for it. The highest bidder will get it!"
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and said.
"Mm, Young Master's method is not bad. Then this old man will go back first!"
Faubert was already used to Li Zexuan's ability to make money. He was only a little surprised in his heart when he heard this. He quickly recovered and nodded with a smile.
"Then take care, Faubert!"
.....
On the other side.
After Old Man Li left the front hall, he really went to the yard to pick an "RV". In fact, there wasn't much to pick. They were all the same "high-end RV". After Old Man Li found that they were all the same, he randomly picked one.
"Master, you're really picky?"
Mrs. Li said in annoyance.
"Ha, our son is paying to build a carriage for us, how can we not accept it? Madam, quickly get into the carriage with your husband and see if this place is as good as Xuan 'er says. "
Li Jingmo pulled his wife and said eagerly.
Under Li Zexuan's influence, he was now more thick-skinned than before. He had already thought through some things. His martial arts were no match for his son's, and his knowledge was no match for his son's. As for his ability to make money, he was no match for him now. He might as well enjoy his life in peace. Anyway, his son was successful, and the family could rely on their previous savings to not have to worry about food and clothing. Why should he live such a tiring life?
Therefore, he didn't go to the shop much now. The shopkeepers were enough. His son was now an official, and they wouldn't dare to fool him.
"Go away! You don't care about your face, but I do! You have the nerve to ask for the carriage that your son prepared for his wedding. You're really shameless! "
Mrs. Li had always loved her son dearly, and she wasn't as thick-skinned as Li Jingmo.
"Hey, I didn't ask him for it. Xuan 'er wanted to give it to me himself. Madam, quickly come with me to see it!"
Without any explanation, Li Jingmo dragged his wife along, wanting to experience this "RV".
"Hey, hey, let go!"
Mrs. Li was so angry that she wanted to break free, but she couldn't resist the strength of Li Jingmo's grip. After a while, the couple entered the carriage.
"Hiss! This carriage doesn't look like much from the outside, but after entering, I realize that it's really spacious! It's like a small room! "
Li Jingmo exclaimed the moment he entered.
"Eh? Old Master, why is the shape of this stool so strange? Aiya, it's so comfortable to sit on! What is it made of? "
After Mrs. Li entered and saw the various strange decorations in the carriage, she forgot what she said outside. She took a fancy to the sofa at first glance and couldn't help but try to sit on it. After that, she didn't want to get up.
When Li Jingmo heard that, he curiously sat on the sofa opposite his wife. His entire body sank into the sofa.
"Aiya, this is really comfortable. Xuan 'er, this child, knows how to enjoy life so well!"
How could this not be comfortable? Li Zexuan's sofa was not only made of soft material, but also had ergonomic features. It allowed the human body's arms, back, waist, and legs to relax well. Compared to the people of the Tang Dynasty who had to kneel on a couch or sit on a stool without a backrest, being able to sit on this sofa was of course an extremely luxurious experience.
Mrs. Li didn't even bother to roll her eyes because she was currently enjoying this rare comfort with her eyes closed. However, she still said unhappily, "So what if Xuan 'er knows how to enjoy life? Can't you see our son enjoying life?! In my opinion, our son is pretty good like this! "
"Yes, yes, yes, this is pretty good, this is pretty good!"
Of course, Li Jingmo didn't have the guts to talk back to the tigress at home. He said contentedly, "Hey, Madam, look at this soft stool. Even if the carriage moves, it won't be too bumpy. This carriage is really good! What Xuan 'er said just now is right. In the future, we can really sit in this carriage and go out to see the scenery.
Your husband has been running around doing business for the past few years, and it's been hard for you to take care of the family alone. Now that Xuan 'er has been knighted, we don't need to worry about Lan' er anymore. Why don't we find some time to take you out for a walk to make up for your hard work all these years? "
Mrs. Li was touched by her husband's sincerity. She opened her eyes, the rims of her eyes slightly red. However, she refused.
"Your wife is content with Old Master's intentions. Now that we're all grown up, it's inconvenient for us to go out and play. It's easy for others to gossip about us. Besides, Xuan 'er left us for eight years. Your wife can't bear to part with him!"
Li Jingmo patted his wife's hand and said warmly, "Don't worry, Madam. We can just walk around Chang 'an and go out in the morning. We'll be back in the evening. There's no need for us to worry about what others say. I'm sure Xuan 'er also hopes that you can go out more often and relax! "
Mrs. Li thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I'll listen to Old Master!"
"Haha! Look, Madam, there are two small rooms inside. Let's go take a look! "
