Chapter 1460 Unaware

At the Zhou family, Zhulan looked at this month's propaganda newspaper. Now you can order the newspaper for money. At the beginning of each month, it will be printed according to the number of subscriptions, and in the middle of each month, take the subscription receipt to pick it up.

And the content of the propaganda newspaper is also becoming more and more abundant, including the policies of the imperial court, propaganda articles, and some cases of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Of course, those who can subscribe are still wealthy families, and the people are not willing to spend money to subscribe, and they will still read the news at the city gate or in front of the city wall.

Zhulan flipped through the propaganda newspaper, there were eight or nine pages bound, she didn't care about the articles, she also knew the policy of the imperial court, instead she liked to read the case notification section.

When Xuehan came in, she saw that her mother was looking at her seriously, "Mother."

Zhulan raised her head, "It's so cold, why are you back?"

"I'll bring you some fruit."

"Your filial mother knows that there is no need to come back in person when it is cold."

The daughter is weak after giving birth, and she loves her dearly.

Xuehan stood and turned around twice, "Look at the thick clothes I wear."

Zhulan held her daughter's hand, "It's icy cold."

Xuehan can't help it, now her hands and feet are cold, the imperial doctor has seen that she needs to take good care of her, "Mother, why were you so focused on what you were watching just now?"

"I read the newspaper, which reported the case of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Xuehan sat down and said: "I don't like to read it. It would be better if there are some stories on it. The articles on it give me a headache."

Zhulan also doesn't like to read articles in classical Chinese. She has been in ancient times for so many years, but she still can't read them. She can still read the travel experiences written by her son-in-law. .

Zhulan said: "If you want to read the story, you have to wait a few years."

Don't think about it now, this is the imperial court's propaganda newspaper, and the published articles must be re-examined before they dare to publish. However, with the demand and development, various newspapers will appear one after another in the future.

In Zhangzhou, Yushuang accompanied Mother to the street, "Mother, this is the knitting shop I told you about."

Zhao's eyes lit up as he looked at the flower baskets put out, "The craftsmanship is really exquisite."

Yushuang helped her mother into the shop, "This can be regarded as a bit of our county's characteristics."

The states will weave too many,

They don't use bamboo to weave, and the output is not high. They have never been well-known, because there are not many merchants coming and going, and the weaving shops are barely enough to make ends meet.

Mrs. Zhao looked around in the shopkeeper's expectant eyes, and frowned slightly, "There are only these kinds?"

Shopkeeper, "Yes, there are only these types."

Zhao's eyes were disappointed, he was used to seeing items in weaving shops in the capital, and the styles here were too single.

Yushuang saw that the storekeeper's eyes were dim, and she also sighed. There are all kinds of good things in the capital, and her mother has high eyesight. She asked, "We provide patterns, can we make it to order?"

The shopkeeper looked up in surprise, "Yes, yes, the masters in our shop are all old crafts passed down from generation to generation, as long as there are patterns, they can weave them."

Mrs. Zhao wanted to buy some specialty products to return to Beijing. There were too many good things at home, and she wanted to buy some special specialty products, but the county was too poor, and there were not many shops in total. After thinking about it, she asked, "Does the shopkeeper have pens and paper?"

"some."

Mrs. Zhao picked up a brush and drew a few strokes, thought for a while and added a few more strokes, "Can such a vase be made?"

The shopkeeper carefully picked up the paper, and said cautiously: "Young one, go ask the master."

The shopkeeper came back quickly, with a happy face, "Yes."

Zhao smiled a little more on his face, took the paper, "I will send you the pattern later."

The things she painted will not be kept, just let the son-in-law paint.

The shopkeeper is so excited, they all know the wife of the county magistrate, and they all say that the county magistrate is from the capital, and the Yue family is a high-ranking official in the capital. If this order is completed, someone will definitely buy it.

Mrs. Zhao left the shop, "Let's go back too."

Yushuang, "There are too few shops in the county, and there will be more shops when there are surplus shops in the county."

Mrs. Zhao nodded, looked at the people begging on the street, and sighed, they couldn't save everyone, Xianggong bought a Zhuangzi in Zhangzhou, and recently accepted many people to go to Zhuangzi, and they couldn't help more.

At night in the capital, Zhou Shuren came back to talk about the affairs of the court, but Zhulan was not in high spirits, "I've heard about it."

Zhou Shuren, "The emperor didn't press for an engagement, so I'll pay more attention to Yu's family."

Zhulan curled her lips, "That means the emperor is confident that the marriage will come true."

"Well, I looked at Mr. Yu a few more times today, but Mr. Yu didn't know about it."

Zhulan raised her eyebrows, "Oh, I'm not happy with us."

Zhou Shuren, "The emperor thinks this is a good marriage. Although it is indeed a good marriage, the emperor will open up about this marriage. In the future, Yuyi will be at home, and the Yu family will not dare to bully."

Zhulan's complexion improved a bit, "Then there's no rush to get engaged."

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

Seeing that Shuren picked up the poster, Zhulan said, "Did you read it at the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"I'm a little busy today and don't have time to read."

Zhulan pointed to the article, "There are several articles about fish cakes in this anticipation newspaper, and another article mentions food donations, but it doesn't mention that the Wen family took the lead in donating food."

Zhou Shuren, "The emperor will not erase the Wen family's credit for taking the lead in donating food. This should be ordered by the Wen family."

The emperor knew that he couldn't hide it, so he wouldn't take the effort to erase the credit and appear to be stingy and immeasurable.

On the contrary, it was the Wen family. The Wen family really wanted to gain a good reputation, but they did not dare to ask the people in the world to thank them.

Zhulan thought the same way, "The Wen family has become smarter."

"Yeah, the Wen family just had a conflict with our family. Wen Xu's drunkenness has disgraced the Wen family, and the next day it should be a laughing stock. As a result, the Wen family raised the food donation earlier, and Wen Xu's drunkenness has become a trivial matter. "

Zhulan played with the hairpin in her hand, "The second house of the Wen family has been abolished, the third house has been weakened, the eldest house is the only one, and the fourth son Wen's words have gained weight."

"You see the Wen family clearly."

"Who made our family and Wen's family opposed, I naturally have to do more research."

Zhou Shuren chuckled, continued to read the propaganda newspaper, and quickly finished it, feeling: "The transportation is still inconvenient. If it is convenient, there will be a few more issues every month. Alas, the news delivery is too slow."

Zhulan asked curiously, "The newspapers are selling well, so they must have earned a lot of money."

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "The investment is very high. In some places, newspapers are delivered for free. The investment in manpower and material resources is large, and there is no money."

"In fact, the government offices of various states can also produce some local newspapers, as long as the capital controls them."

"It's impossible in the past two years, and now all states are worrying about food."

Zhulan stood up, "I'm going to wash up first."

"Um."

The next day, because the new year was coming, the emperor wanted the people to have a good year, and the people would have hope when the new year was over. The emperor had already bought cloth, meat, etc.

Zhou Shu benevolently said that the last time the emperor donated grain, he also donated the grain from Huangzhuang. This time, he used his private treasury to buy a large amount of supplies.

He didn't know when the emperor bought a large amount of supplies.

This batch of supplies will be distributed to the poorest counties first, and the emperor has already arranged it.
