Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let’s Farm

Chapter 1477: Chapter 1476: Daqi’s First Big Event of the New Year_1 Chapter 1477: Chapter 1476: Daqi’s First Big Event of the New Year_1 Qiao Xiaomai never expected Tong Tiehu to possess such a brain. She was stunned for a moment but soon burst into laughter.

This was indeed an excellent idea.

However, it also reminded her of something else: newspapers.

They could distribute newspapers.

If there were newspapers, then they wouldn’t need Yang Ye to run all over the place whenever they needed to announce something that all residents of Daqi should know. They could just publish it in the newspaper, distribute it to each county, and those who could afford it would buy it. Those who couldn’t afford it would receive it for free from the government office, which would read it out to the populace, and afterwards, it would be posted in a place with high foot traffic for everyone to see, similar to a reading column in the future.

And speaking of newspapers, Qiao Xiaomai also thought about the Papermaking Technique she wanted to improve.

The toilet paper in her space had long run out, and now she was using silk.

Yes, like those high officials and noble folk, she had been using silk in the toilet.

This was extremely extravagant, and thinking how some people couldn’t even fill their bellies, the guilt in her heart was hard to shake off.

Papermaking had to be moved up the schedule.

If the Papermaking Technique were improved, people would have an easier time in the toilet, and the investment for scholars to read books would also decrease.

With this thought, she curled up the corners of her mouth and brightened up suddenly, “I’ll go to the Palace right now and discuss it with the Emperor Emeritus.”

Having just left the Palace and now returning, Yang Wenxiao was a bit surprised, “You’re back again?”

“I have something to discuss with you.”

Without mentioning the newspapers, just the matter of charging an entrance fee had to be run past Yang Wenxiao.

The Yu Residence was located in the wealthy district of Capital City, and any person there held a higher title than Young Master Tong, so to sell tickets in that area, they needed Yang Wenxiao’s nod.

After hearing her proposal, Yang Wenxiao was speechless for a while, “You truly stop at nothing just to make money.”

“This was grandfather’s idea, and besides, wasn’t this debt given to me by you?” Qiao Xiaomai replied with an innocent face.

“Fine, fine, it’s my fault,” Yang Wenxiao waved his hand and laughed. After all, the money would be used for good causes in the end.

As for the newspapers, they were indeed necessary. Since Tong Tiehu had brought out movable type printing, printing things had become much more convenient than before.

One issue a month, printing the policies of the Court, and if there were some juicy news, they could print that as well.

Very good.

This idea was very good.

“Originally, I was thinking of letting Tiehu write another storybook while he’s recuperating, but now that we have the newspapers, let him do the writing for that,” Yang Wenxiao said.

“Um, we are planning to return to the manor soon,” Qiao Xiaomai quickly declined, implying that asking Tiehu to handle such a trivial matter was ridiculous. Couldn’t Daqi find someone else who could write?

What was the point of all those literates anyway?

“Let him stick to writing storybooks then,” she quickly suggested.

She rejected the idea so swiftly that Yang Wenxiao chuckled and didn’t insist, and the matter was settled just like that.

Yang Wenxiao sent Ren Zhong to the Yu Residence. Selling tickets required first dealing with the few families around the Yu Residence.

Then he had people promote the event at Zuixian Building, and at the same time, the Extreme Flavor Restaurant was also publicizing it.

On New Year’s Eve, the busiest day for these two major restaurants, the news broke out and immediately exploded, spreading across the entire Capital City at the speed of light.

Qiao Xiaomai was going to settle the recent dispute with a door-to-door face-slapping!

Qiao Xiaomai was going to sell tickets!

The first row for eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight taels silver, and with each row back, one thousand one hundred and eleven taels silver less. Seats are limited; first come, first served!

The biggest spectacle of Daqi’s New Year. Miss today and regret it for a whole year!
