Chapter 252
…
Su Chen picked up the newly written advertisement for the start of school and checked it carefully.
Mainly checking the traditional Chinese characters.
In the past few months, Su Chen can also write the traditional Chinese characters of most commonly used Chinese characters.
"My Lord!"
Su Chen's study door is never closed, Zhang Long shouted at the door.
"What's the matter?"
"Village Chief Li has registered the children aged six to twelve in the manor, a total of 92 people."
Su Chen was stunned when he heard this number. How could it be so small?
In fact, it is not small. After the merger of the two villages, there are only about 110 households, and the total population has been counted before. More than 380 people.
"Okay, I know." Su Chen nodded slightly.
"My Lord, this is the list of children sent by the Lu family of Fanyang for school admission, a total of 278 people."
Su Chen was shocked when he heard this number.
"There are so many children in the Fanyang Lu family alone.
That's too much. There are also more than a dozen aristocratic families. Wouldn't that add up to several thousand people?"
When Su Chen planned the school before, he calculated it to accommodate 2,000 students.
If there are really more than 200 people in each aristocratic family, wouldn't it become an aristocratic school for aristocratic families?
"Uh, Lord!"
"It's my fault that I didn't make it clear. This list includes children of other aristocratic families of the right age, totaling 278 people.
Please take a look, Lord!"
Zhang Long handed a stack of lists in his hand to Su Chen.
There were more than a dozen in total.
"This is more like it, it scared me!"
Su Chen took the list and glanced at it casually.
Each list has a different surname.
But one name caught Su Chen's attention.
"Haha, this name is well chosen! There is a future!"
Su Chen said with a smile.
It's from a family with the surname Wei, and it should be a boy at the age of seven.
Wei Xiaobao.
Zhang Long bowed and left the study.
Su Chen put down the list and thought, adding the ninety-two children from the villagers.
Three hundred and seventy people can be divided into nine classes.
"Let's see how many Chang'an people will bring their children to the school to register when the enrollment is announced tomorrow.
It would be best if we can gather fifteen classes."
Su Chen stood up and was about to leave the study, but Ma Zhou came to him.
"Hello, Lord!"
"Ma Zhou, how did you feel about going to the palace yesterday?"
Su Chen asked with a smile.
"Replying to Lord, Ma Zhou has discussed the newspaper matters with Doctor Wei yesterday.
At the morning court today, His Majesty granted Ma Zhou the title of counselor of the Ministry of Personnel, so that he could enter and leave the palace."
Ma Zhou reported some things to Su Chen.
"Well, that's good. What do you want to talk to me about? Come, sit down and talk." Su Chen nodded and asked.
When he saw Ma Zhou coming just now, he seemed a little hurried.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Ma Zhou bowed and sat opposite Su Chen.
"Lord, you said that day that the first issue of Chang'an Daily will be issued in 2,000 copies.
Ma Zhou came here at the request of His Majesty and would like to ask Lord.
Chang'an Daily is only sold in Chang'an City or all counties under Chang'an."
After the morning court ended today, Li Shimin called Ma Zhou to the Imperial Study and asked about the issue of the newspaper tomorrow.
When Li Shimin learned that only 2,000 copies would be issued, he was very confused.
Chang'an's jurisdiction is not small, with two capital counties, Chang'an and Wannian, and more than 20 suburban counties.
Two thousand newspapers should be a little less.
But Li Shimin didn't know Su Chen's specific intentions, so he sent Ma Zhou to ask.
Li Shimin guessed that Su Chen must not know how big Chang'an is.
At that time, Li Shimin's original words were:
'That kid is uneducated and must not know how many suburban counties Chang'an covers.
Ma Zhou, go teach that kid a lesson, or he will be laughed at in the future! ’
Li Shimin wronged Su Chen.
Su Chen didn’t even know about the two Jing counties in Chang’an City, Chang’an County and Wannian County.
He had heard of Lantian and Jingyang County, but he didn’t know they were under the jurisdiction of Chang’an.
Su Chen thought that Chang’an was surrounded by city walls, called Chang’an City.
Everything outside the city walls was called Chang’an Suburbs.
“Oh? How many counties are there in Chang’an?” Su Chen asked curiously.
“My Lord, Chang’an has 22 suburban counties under its jurisdiction, Chang’an County and Wannian County are Jing counties, and the government office is set up in Chang’an City.”
Su Chen was a little surprised after hearing this, he hadn’t thought about these.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Ma Zhou, let's do this. You decide how many copies of the newspaper you want to issue. It doesn't matter if you can't sell them. The newspapers can be recycled and made into paper again.
Also, this morning, Uncle Cheng brought fifty veterans to sell newspapers, and I'll arrange for you to do that.
In addition, you should find a capable person to manage papermaking and printing when you are away.
You don't have to go to the manor every day. You can send someone to deliver a message if you have something to do.
By the way, where do you live? I'll ask the housekeeper to give you some money. YouFind a place to go down in Chang'an."
Su Chen pushed everything aside and let Ma Zhou do it himself.
"Thank you, Lord. Ma Zhou is very grateful.
Ma Zhou has been living in the home of his good friend Chang He, so Lord, you don't have to spend money.
The papermaking and printing matters have now been handed over to my good friend Zi Yu who came to the manor with me."
Ma Zhou bowed respectfully.
"Chang He? General Chang He?" Su Chen asked in surprise.
"Does Lord know him?" Ma Zhou looked at Su Chen in confusion.
After staying in the manor for a while, Ma Zhou also heard some things about Su Chen.
Su Chen should not know anyone!
Although Chang He is no longer a general now.
But before the first year of Zhenguan, Chang He was indeed a general.
The main responsibility is to guard the Xuanwu Gate.
"I know him! ...Uh, I don't know him, I just heard about him. "
Su Chen immediately changed his words, and indeed he had only heard of it.
Ma Zhou nodded, and suddenly thought of something.
Took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Su Chen with both hands.
"My Lord, this is what His Majesty asked Ma Zhou to present to you, saying that it was entrusted by the Queen."
Su Chen took the letter and opened it immediately.
The content was brief, mainly about money.
After reading the letter, Su Chen opened his mouth wide as if he was shocked.
"Ma Zhou, has His Majesty read this letter?"
"My Lord, His Majesty has indeed read it." Ma Zhou replied.
"Did His Majesty say anything?" Su Chen asked again.
Ma Zhou hesitated for a while, and said with a bow:
"My Lord, His Majesty only said one word after reading it."
Su Chen nodded slightly after hearing this, and knew what the word was without asking.
"By the way, this school recruitment advertisement will be published in the newspaper tomorrow! Have the newspapers been edited? "
Su Chen handed the enrollment advertisement he had written to Ma Zhou.
"It has been edited and Doctor Wei has approved it."
Ma Zhou took the manuscript and replied.
Su Chen thought about it and thought it would be difficult to submit another manuscript if he had already edited it.
"I have another manuscript that I was going to submit. Take it and have a look."
Ma Zhou took the manuscript Su Chen handed over. It had quite a few words.
In less than two minutes, Ma Zhou finished reading it and looked thoughtful.
"My Lord, please forgive me for being so bold. If this article is printed, the reputation of the family will definitely improve a lot in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, I'm afraid that Your Majesty..."
Ma Zhou didn't continue, but the meaning was self-evident.
Su Chen smiled and waved his hand.
"You are right. The reputation of the family will indeed improve a lot."
Su Chen did not deny what Ma Zhou said.
