In this world, the Grand Master rarely takes action. It is recorded in the original book that when Ye Liuyun was in Jiangnan, he was assigned by Li Yunrui to disguise himself as a Sigu sword and cut down half a building with one sword, giving Fan Xian, who was about to take over the inner treasury, a good blow.

A big show of force.

And Li Chengqian knew that with his full strength, he might be slightly stronger than Ye Liuyun, but his strength was limited.

The lethality may be on par with the real Si Gu Jian.

Of course, this was mainly because although he inherited Li Chungang's swordsmanship, he did not have enough state of mind and ability to use Li Chengqian's strongest sword to open the Tianmen.

Otherwise, even if it only refers to the Xuan Realm, if he opens the Heavenly Gate with one sword, no one among the great masters in this world will be able to compete with him.

Feeling a little regretful, he moved his wrist, put down the brush in his hand, looked at the writing on the desk, and nodded with satisfaction at the sharp writing like a silver painting with an iron hook.

He used his pen as a sword, and while he was carefully experiencing his own swordsmanship, the words he wrote also contained divine meaning, and they looked quite impressive.

He has almost completed the relevant planning for the New Paper, and the article he is writing now is the first shot of the New Paper.

The success or failure lies in these few thousand words.

…

A few more days passed by in a hurry, and the crowds that gathered at the recruitment hall because of the prince's name gradually dispersed.

After the curiosity is over, there is nothing worth paying too much attention to.

The Talent Recruitment Hall finally recruited twenty-three ordinary diners who had a clean financial background and although their talents and learning were not high, they were barely adequate.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also a strange creature mixed in.

He is eleven or twelve years old and looks a little chubby.

Although he was young, he was not very literate, and his arithmetic skills were far superior to those of the twenty-three ordinary disciples.

Of course, what really allowed him to enter this recruitment hall was his family background.

Because his name is Fan Sizhe, the legitimate son of Sinan Bo Fan Jian.

Fan Sizhe didn't join this recruitment hall for the sake of being a prince, but simply for the few taels of silver.

Although one tael of silver is not much, as long as you join the Talent Recruitment Center, you don't have to do anything and you can get one tael of silver for free.

According to what he said, if someone offers money, why not?

As for asking him to do other things, he didn't say he wouldn't do it. As long as he was given enough money, he would have to do whatever he could to do it.

Anyway, just one sentence, just give me money.

When Li Chengqian saw the name Fan Sizhe, he was a little surprised. After hearing what the steward said, he understood Fan Sizhe's thoughts.

But even if he knew that Fan Sizhe came here for the money, he still agreed to let him enter the recruitment hall and use a few taels of silver to establish relations with the Fan family. It was also a good thing for him.

In the next few days, on the one hand, he sent someone to give the twenty-three diners an emergency training with the charter he had written. On the other hand, he found another venue to serve as the front of the new newspaper.

.

Many other related preliminary preparations have also begun to be carried out one by one.

Above the court, everything was calm, but beneath the calm, there was a turbulent undercurrent.

A few ministers who were close to the prince's side secretly looked forward to the success of the new paper, so that they could use this as an excuse to fight for more rights for the prince.

Of course, most of the courtiers had the mentality of watching a joke. Many people looked at the newspapers run by the inner court. They did not believe that Li Chengqian could bring this inexplicable newspaper back to life.

In their opinion, Li Chengqian wanted to use this incident to make a big splash, and he was simply seeking medical treatment indiscriminately due to an acute illness.

After all, the prince is still young and has the nature of a child.

Until this day, there were suddenly many street vendors selling newspapers in the streets and alleys.

Most of these people are idle men or middle-aged women who have nothing to do on weekdays.

Li Chengqian only gave them the lowest basic salary of ten cents, but he also gave them a commission of one cent for every ten newspapers sold, with no upper limit.

Compared with the newspapers in the imperial court that cost one tael of silver each, this new newspaper only costs five cents.

Of course, the quality of both paper and ink is far from comparable to the newspapers in the imperial court.

Li Chengqian only had one request for the new newspaper, and that was that the handwriting should be clear.

In order to spread the newspaper, he must lower the price of the newspaper. Even if the new newspaper costs 5 cents per copy, he will still lose money every time he sells one copy.

The more you sell, the more you lose.

However, losses in the early stage only need to be controlled within a certain range. After the new registration becomes popular, Li Chengqian will have his own way to make the new newspaper start to make profits through advertising, investment promotion, etc.

Therefore, Li Chengqian printed 50,000 copies of the first issue of Xinbao.

Although the scale is much smaller than the hundreds of thousands of people in Kyoto, as long as these 50,000 newspapers are sold and spread by word of mouth, it is enough to spread the influence of the new paper to the entire city of Kyoto.

…

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian was not present in person. In fact, since the establishment of the new newspaper, he had sent people to handle it through remote control.

The one who implemented everything concretely was Izumo who was always by his side.

After all, he is the prince and is not suitable to do these things personally, and the only one he can trust now is Izumo.

However, Izumo's ability is indeed very good. Since the establishment of Xinbao, everything has been handled in her hands in an orderly manner.

Quite a bit of a helpful wife.

At this moment, Li Chengqian was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, looking a little anxious.

Although all the ideas seemed to be fine, it was the first time in his life that he had done such a big thing as setting up a newspaper office and running a newspaper.

Naturally, it is difficult to calm down.

Especially today is the first time the new paper is released, which is related to the success or failure of the new paper.

Even if he had full confidence in Xinbao, he couldn't really take it calmly.

On the other hand, Izumo on the side looked extremely demure, his face still cold.

It seems that she is more confident than Li Chengqian, who arranged all the matters personally.

Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, she hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Since Your Highness is worried, why not go and see for yourself?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's heart moved. Yes, instead of waiting for the result here, it is better to go and see it with your own eyes, so that you can naturally know the result of this new report.

He pulled Izumo over, kissed her hard on her fair and jade face, and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look!"

These days, except for the last step, they have done almost everything they should do and shouldn't do, and it seems quite natural at the moment.

However, Izumo's pistil-like white face still had a hint of flying clouds.

Most of the cold breath dissipated in the blink of an eye, and Yi Xiyi looked at Li Chengqian angrily, extremely shy.
