An hour later, the three prime ministers arrived one after another.
Bi Goo's home was far away, so he was the last to arrive. The two people in front had already finished reading the battle report, and their faces were filled with joy.
Bi Goo took the battle report and looked at it. "Your Majesty, Zhang Xiaosong has made a great contribution again."
"Yes!" Li Longji nodded.
"Do you want to transfer him back?" Bi Goo felt that Zhang Xiaosong's contribution in the two battles was too great.
"No, leave him there." Li Longji refused. He was not afraid of Zhang Xiaosong's contributions.
He could reward him, but he had not done so yet.
"Not afraid …" Bi Goo wanted to say something but stopped.
"Just now, I sent someone to send a letter to Brother Yi. Brother Yi replied that he should stay there. If there is a chance, Zhang Xiaosong can decide whether to send troops to the Tujue."
Li Longji's reason was not just my idea. Li Yi also thought so.
"Since Xiao Yi said so, let him stay." Bi Goo had nothing to say.
Li Yi was very mysterious. Previously, it was Li Yi who said not to send Zhang Xiaosong to prison.
Now, there was a good result. Zhang Xiaosong could fight well.
Zhang Xiaosong was actually a civil official, not a general. He was a Jinshi.
"Your Majesty, this should be spread to the world." Song Jing was not familiar with Zhang Xiaosong. When he returned, Zhang Xiaosong had already finished the battle in the Western Regions.
No one usually mentioned it. Today, they found out that there was someone so powerful who was protected by Li Yi.
"It will be in the newspaper tomorrow. Then, someone will send the newspaper to the various newspaper offices. The newspaper offices will then print the important content."
Li Longji agreed with Song Jing's suggestion and was already working on it.
The current newspapers were printed by the Li Family Zhuangzi, and the people from the Express News rode horses to the relay stations to deliver them to the various newspaper offices.
The newspaper office set aside some pages to copy the newspaper and then mimeograph it.
The first day it was delivered, it would appear the next day.
Scholars from all over the country bought newspapers and were willing to find a place to read them to the illiterate.
Then, the illiterate commoners would discuss with others about politics, daily tips, and the main characters of the serial stories.
Wherever there was a newspaper, the people were working hard to learn pinyin and literacy.
The appearance of newspapers enriched the lives of the people and made them feel that they were very close to the imperial court.
For example, the Imperial Magistrate had built tracks, ships, sleds in the winter, how to collect taxes, street lights at night …
It even wrote down what His Majesty had eaten today. Everything was there.
Under normal circumstances, it would be written blindly. The commoners wouldn't care and would read it seriously.
Also, His Majesty went to see the Retired Emperor and Noble Consort Lu and played a song for the Retired Emperor. The Retired Emperor was very happy to bask in the sun.
If you don't want to lack calcium, you can't always stay in the house. You have to bask in the sun, but don't get heatstroke.
The contents of the newspapers gave the commoners a picture of the Emperor of the Tang dynasty. Everyone's picture was different, but the same thing was that His Majesty was not far away from them.
This was Li Yi's method. After a long time, the Emperor in the commoners' hearts was a living person, not a concept.
…
"I hope the injured soldiers can survive. Antibiotics and penicillin are the simplest. Penicillin …"
Li Yi couldn't sleep after receiving the battle report. He thought about the injured soldiers on the frontline and pondered about how to save more lives.
He had used a lot of Chinese medicine as antiseptics, but it was still not as effective as antibiotics.
The production of penicillin was more difficult than aircraft cannons. The mass production of atomic bombs was only three years later than penicillin.
It was better to use Chinese medicine than to use the unstable penicillin produced by the traditional method.
"The main problem is the equipment. There are more syringes and needles. None of them are easy to mass produce. I have the bacteria. Change it and use it to cultivate."
Li Yi mumbled to himself and lay back down to sleep. He didn't dare to think about it. The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.
He could only count on his two hundred and sixty-two students to study hard. A portion of those who were not interested in physics, chemistry, or biology could become officials.
Another portion would enter the field of research and cultivate a few more people.
Rome was not built in a day, and the technological system could not be completed in a day.
The next morning.
"Selling newspapers! Our army has won a great victory. With less than nine hundred sacrifices, we killed thirty thousand enemies and captured twenty thousand enemies."
"Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! The Anxi Protectorate has done a great service. Zhang Xiaosong fought from one thousand li away and launched a crazy surprise attack. He first destroyed the Arab army and then defeated Su Lu's army. "
"A great victory, a great victory. In today's morning court session, His Majesty once again granted amnesty to the people."
The newspaper boy shouted on his bicycle. Those who knew the general situation last night and this morning were still excited.
It was confirmed. It was written in the newspapers. It couldn't be wrong.
Almost every commoner in the capital office bought a copy of the newspaper.
They could read now. The price of the newspaper dropped to two coins per copy. Each copy had eight sheets and was printed on one side.
The back of the paper was equivalent to buying paper for writing. It could also be used to paste walls and windows.
Sometimes, there would be ten sheets per copy. There were a lot of advertisements.
Some rich children would promote the girls they liked in Nanqu. They could write about it in the newspapers.
Or some child from a big family wrote a poem and quickly sent it to the 'newspaper' to promote it. They would talk about the child and how good the poem was.
This was all money. The Li Family Zhuangzi would accept it. After all, it was not their child.
The three people from the Tan Family woke up late again. The soreness in their bodies had lessened.
Li Yi waited for them to eat breakfast together.
"I heard we won a battle. Who did we fight with?" Tan Shui heard the villager mention it and asked. However, she could not remember.
Those names were too hard to remember. She still did not know that the Tang Dynasty had been fighting with the Tubo, the Abbasid Caliphate, and the Turks for many years.
It was too far away. Lu Zhou was indeed the furthest place. If not, it would be the Jiangnan East Road.
"This time, we fought against the Turks led by Su Lu. As it turns out, he was an official of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty gave him a salary.
Then, he felt that he should gain more benefits and become more powerful. So, he joined forces with the enemy to fight against the Tang Dynasty.
Now, the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of war. So, we gave them a beating. Many of them were beaten down. "
Li Yi told Tan Shui as if he was telling a joke.
"Betrayal? If they're caught, they should be burned to death. Did you catch them? "Tan Shui was filled with righteous indignation.
In her stronghold, if anyone dared to betray her, they would meet a terrible end.
Li Yi shook his head regretfully. "I didn't catch them. They're too good at running. We couldn't catch up to them. We wanted to fight them, but there were too many of them. "
"Sigh!" Tan Shui sighed. She was equally regretful.
The three of them went to get breakfast. There was meatball soup. They chose the same thing. Then, they chose pork and cabbage stuffed pies and a few side dishes.
Li Yi drank the mutton soup and ate the shumai. His stomach was not feeling well, and he did not want to eat anything with dough.
"Li Dongzhu, there are too many dishes in your Zhuangzi. You only need to cook one." Tan Hai thought it was strenuous. They had to cook one dish after another.
They could have breakfast three times a day. Even in the stronghold, they could not have it.
If they could do it, it did not matter what they ate.
"I'm used to it." Li Yi was not in a position to say anything else.
"Li Dongzhu, after breakfast, let's go to the Government Affairs Hall. Do you want to pay?" Tan Shi asked.
"No … There's no need for that. Since the three of you are here, it's just in time. I have a leader of the mountain people from Lu Zhou who wants to see you."
Li Yi looked up and stood up to greet them.
Bi Goo, Song Jing, and Su Yi entered the hall.
