Chapter 159: Being courteous for nothing is either a traitor or a thief!

It is not easy to start a newspaper.

Since more than a hundred years ago, there has been a saying of "official money", and this official money is the official newspaper.

In the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the General Affairs Yuan was established, while Daye established the General Affairs Department to be responsible for the collection and delivery of government documents.

There are also some tabloids among the people, but most of them are circulated among literati and poets.

The main reason is that paper is expensive, and ordinary people have a hard time eating. How can they have spare money to live happily?

Zhu Jun smiled and said: "Sir, you might as well use big paper to draw up the layout of the literary newspaper. You can also ask the gentlemen from the university to write articles together. At first, it will be published every three to five days. If the response is good, it can be published every two days.

Even one issue a day.

Sir, just write articles, I will hire someone to manage the maintenance of the literary newspaper!"

Whether it's the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce or running a newspaper, this is one of Zhu Jun's methods.

In any era, controlling public opinion is equivalent to controlling the direction of the wind.

With these, he can build momentum for his elder brother.

And he just needs to hide behind and watch him flourish.

Li Yanxi nodded, but was a little worried, "Paper is expensive in Beijing, and running a newspaper is not a profitable business..."

"Sir, don't worry, you won't lose anything!" Zhu Jun said, patting his chest.

Li Yanxi said: "Although it is good to run a newspaper, it is only the money of Prince Wu's palace that can be used. It is true that I love writing articles, but..."

Zhu Jun took his hand and said, "Sir, I'm sorry. If the literary newspaper can broaden people's wisdom, let alone lose money, I will continue to run it even if it is just selling the iron."

The gentleman is a man of great wisdom, while the student is dull and just a little bit stinky.

Silver can be obtained, but talents cannot be obtained.

Therefore, sir, please don’t feel burdened!”

Li Yanxi's lips moved, but she didn't say anything. Her eyes gradually became gentler, and she looked at Zhu Jun with indescribable appreciation and relief.

Even Li Wanqiu on the side had beautiful eyes, thinking, "This guy is quite heroic!"

"Then, I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!" Li Yanxi could distinguish between sincerity and falsehood. Although he had not officially accepted Zhu Jun yet, in his heart, he already regarded Zhu Jun as his direct disciple.

Zhu Jun smiled and changed the topic, "Everyone has worked hard today, and I would like to ask you to file these contracts. From today on, Prince Wu's Mansion will be in charge of the affairs of the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce.

Dabao, you come to be the steward of Yingtian Chamber of Commerce!"

Shen Dabao trembled all over, extremely excited, "Yes, Your Highness!"

"Niu Wuliu, select a thousand elite soldiers from the government to maintain the security of the Chamber of Commerce!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Niu Wuliu said.

After the arrangements were made, Zhu Jun also returned to the palace.

As the recruitment symposium ended and the victims and owners returned, Yingtian Chamber of Commerce also attracted attention.

Especially Zhu Jun's promise, as well as the rewards of five thousand taels of silver from the five bosses and Yuan Wai Lang, are even more exciting.

Even a fool understands that Zhu Jun cannot be so capable, and this must be the prince's method.

The Huaixi merchants who left were investigated that evening, and they were imprisoned along with their families.

The one who took action was Yin Mengduan of Yingtian Mansion.

This time, everyone confirmed their suspicions.

Those businessmen who had not left were frightened after receiving the news.

At the same time, I am also glad that I did not leave recklessly.

Thinking about it this way, it is actually not a bad idea to join the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce. They can enjoy the shade with a big tree at their back. With the relationship of the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce, it will be easier for them to do business in the future.

After the news reached Prince Yan's Mansion, Xu Tianshou said: "This is to use the Sixth Master's hand to win over the merchants. The Sixth Master never likes to think about these complicated things."

Zhang Jue also said: "Jiang Huan of the Archguard Bureau also showed up. His intention is already obvious. He will use Master Liu's hand to indirectly control the merchants. Those Huaixi merchants who left early have been taken away by Meng Duan.

If my guess is correct, he is probably trying to draw all the merchants into the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce."

Zhu Di's face was gloomy and uncertain, "To master the merchants is to master the channels. These merchants are as rich as the country. If he needs money, he doesn't even need to say a word, just spread the word, and some people will send money to his door.

But, how can he take advantage of Lao Liu?"

Xu Tianshou took out a copy of the charter of the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce from his arms and said, "Fourth Master, please take a look. This charter involves tax reductions and even rewards for foreign ministers. This is not something that Sixth Master can decide!"

"I have already seen this." Zhu Di waved his hand. In the past, Lao Zhu used Lao Liu to balance the court. This matter has not yet passed. In the blink of an eye, Zhu Yu took advantage of Lao Liu's demise to make money.

Immediately, he turned back suddenly, "I understand, he wants to cut off my king's financial path!"

After saying that, he hurried into the Buddhist hall and found the black-clothed monk, "Do you think he knows about my king's stay in Beiping Mansion?"

The black-clothed monk said: "Your Highness already knows what's going on, so why bother asking the young monk? The prince went to Beiping Mansion first, and then detoured back to the south."

Zhu Di's face was as dark as water, "What should I do?"

“Just wait and see what happens!”

Zhu Di sighed, there had been no movement since Zhu Yu was injured.

He is still on guard.

But this sudden attack made him panic.

It would be uncomfortable if Zhu Yu used this incident to clean up the businessmen under his command.

“We can’t wait and see what happens!”

"Then send them to your doorstep!" The black-clothed monk said, "Let them join the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce!"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, "It makes sense, it's better to block than to open up, but if it's him..."

"Go to King Wu. King Wu must not know the true intention behind the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce. As the brother of King Wu, what if His Highness is helping a group of younger brothers?"

"I understand!" Zhu Di nodded, and immediately he went out.

Soon, he arrived at Zhu Jun's mansion. The victims who had originally blocked the entrance to the palace were cleared. The gate of the palace also woke up, with strong soldiers guarding the door.

After Zhu Di entered the palace, he was placed in the main hall. Zhu Jun was taking a bath at the moment.

Hearing Xun Busan's voice, everyone was stunned, "What, my fourth brother is here? What is he here for?"

"I don't know, Fourth Master even brought wine!" Xun Busan said.

Zhu Jun frowned and reluctantly got out of the water. Sunuer and the other two quickly dressed Zhu Jun.

Arriving at the main hall, Zhu Jun put on a happy look on his face and hurried forward, "Fourth brother, why are you here!"

Zhu Di smiled and said, "In a few days, it will be your birthday. At that time, you will be an adult.

I’ll come over to drink and chat with you. It’s been years since we, brothers, ate and chatted together!”

Zhu Jun, however, was secretly vigilant and would show hospitality for no reason, and would either commit adultery or steal.

However, he said happily on his face: "It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet. We won't get home until we get drunk tonight!"

Coming to a separate private room, Zhu Di poured a bowl of wine for Zhu Jun, "Here, this is a famous wine unique to Beiping Mansion. It's very strong. Try it!"

Damn it, you poured me a drink yourself!
