That night, Zhang Shi went off duty as usual and returned home in a sedan.

Several sedans had already stopped at the door of the house, and the housekeeper came out to welcome them after they got off the sedans.

He said attentively: "Master is back? All the guests are waiting for you in the lobby."

Zhang Shi hummed and walked straight to the lobby.

The chairs on both sides of the lobby were already filled with people.

There were eight people in total, two or three of them still had white beards and hair. These people were all veterans of the court.

Everyone greeted Zhang when they saw him.

Zhang Shi showed a smile: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. I'm busy with business today, so I'm a little late coming back."

"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!" Everyone responded quickly.

"I wonder why Mr. Zhang came to call me?"

Zhang Shi sat down, looking worried.

"Tell me, gentlemen, what else can you do?"

"Fang Zhengyi?"

"Exactly! This kid has evil intentions and confuses people's hearts. Are you just going to watch him continue to be arrogant?" Zhang Shi looked sad. "On weekdays, the court is clear and everyone is in peace and harmony. Even if there is a problem,

You can also sit down and discuss it.”

"But now that Fangzheng is a holy family, he is not abiding by the rules. If this continues, the court will be full of smoke and smoke, which is really not a blessing for the people!"

"What's more, he is spreading rumors among the people. We are all at this age. Personal honor and disgrace don't matter, but the honor of the family cannot be lost!"

"If things continue like this! How should we and the family behind us deal with each other? We were originally a family that accumulated good deeds, but now we have become a street rat!"

No one here was busy responding, they just kept stroking their beards.

Suddenly someone said: "But His Majesty's attitude is obviously to support Fang Zhengyi, and the prince and Fang Zhengyi are in the same group, what can we do?"

Zhang Shi said seriously: "Everyone, everyone has seen the power of newspapers."

"Once this thing comes out, the public opinion in the capital is almost in the hands of Fang Zhengyi. The newspaper is the mouthpiece representing the world. How can such power be controlled by Fang Zhengyi?"

"If we let him continue to behave recklessly, wouldn't it be chaos in the world! What's more, the prince has great trust in this person, so I'm afraid he has gone astray."

"Therefore, no matter how difficult this matter is, we should try our best!"

"So the main reason for calling you here is to deal with this matter. It is obvious that His Majesty the Hanlin Academy does not agree with handing over the management of the newspaper to the Hanlin Academy."

"But why can't each ministry of the imperial court run its own newspaper? The affairs of the world should be divided into categories, and newspapers should also focus on them."

"Today, Prince Daily is mixed into a mess, and it should be split up."

"For example, the Ministry of War can set up a daily newspaper to interpret the general trend of the world, border trends, and even the situation of war public opinion can be affected by the daily newspaper."

"Similarly, if we look at the Ministry of Household Affairs, the world's money and food affairs can also be affected by daily newspapers."

"The same should be true for other ministries."

"Although this thing was thought up by Fang Zhengyi and the prince, the more I think about it, the more I think it is something extraordinary."

"This incident may be a war. I would like to call it a war of public opinion!"

The remaining people looked at each other, conveying information with their eyes, and then nodded at the same time.

One person said: "This is reasonable! However, since Fang Zhengyi has the trust of His Majesty and the Prince, the Prince's Daily may not be able to split it up."

Zhang Shi smiled slightly: "Splitting is just a convenient way for me to say it."

"We do not want His Majesty to split it up directly. All ministries can directly apply to His Majesty to establish a new newspaper."

"Although the Prince Daily is very popular, it is not professional enough. Most of the content is content that ordinary people like to read."

"If a newspaper is run by various ministries of the imperial court, it will definitely attract aspiring scholars from all over the world! Maybe it can also influence the selection of candidates for the imperial examination."

Everyone started whispering to each other.

Zhang Shi looked at everyone with a smile.

This is the general trend. Although the relationship between his family is usually on good terms, now they have a common enemy.

Fang Zhengyi, this reckless thing, offended everyone.

Although His Majesty can protect you for a while, there will always be a day when you fail!

After some discussion, someone said: "I'm afraid His Majesty won't agree to this for a while."

"Although each family has suffered little loss from this donation of food, the most important thing is that their reputation has been damaged and the court's prestige has been damaged. Now I'm afraid there is no way to save it by setting up a new newspaper."

"In our opinion, it would be better to advise Your Majesty to ban the publication of Prince Daily."

Zhang Shi said seriously: "Everyone, it is really not feasible to ban the publication of daily newspapers."

"The temporary loss is nothing. After all, it is the common people who believe in the Prince Daily."

"How can they represent the world? The affairs of the world depend on scholars and knowledgeable people! As long as new newspapers are built, public opinion will be reversed in a short time."

"This is a century-old plan! You gentlemen, please think about it carefully."

Everyone was whispering to each other again.

Then they all replied: "Okay! We are willing to work with Mr. Zhang to recommend that your Majesty open a new newspaper!"

Zhang Shi smiled, stood up and saluted: "Everyone here is the pillar of the country, and you can distinguish right from wrong. This is very good!"

"Today, His Majesty asked Fang Zhengyi to check the amount of food stored by each family. As a result, he ran away. From tomorrow, I will start from here..."

"Dad! Dad!! Something big happened!"

Halfway through Zhang Shi's words, Zhang Chang hurried back from outside.

There was also a newspaper in his hand.

Everyone looked at Zhang Chang. Zhang Shi felt a little embarrassed on his face and raised his hand to give Zhang Chang a big mouth.

He said angrily: "You bastard! What a shameful behavior! Are there any guests that you can't see?"

Zhang Chang covered his swollen face and muttered: "I...I...have something big going on!"

Then he weakly took out a newspaper from behind his back.

"Dad, this is the second newspaper published today! That guy Fang Zhengyi..."

"Go away and stand!"

Zhang Shi grabbed the newspaper and pushed Zhang Chang aside.

I got angry when I saw this hopeless son! Being beaten up by Fang Zheng was like a mouse seeing a cat. He even trembled when he mentioned Fang Zhengyi's name.

Why did I raise such a useless son!

Zhang Shi picked up the newspaper and read it carefully. Everyone else stretched their necks and looked at it.

Not long after watching, Zhang Shi's expression changed.

Put down the newspaper and said: "Fang Zheng sent reporters to the ministers' homes to secretly investigate the food storage situation, and even told those reporters that they might not return to the newspaper office alive..."

Everyone was stunned for a while, and suddenly someone slapped their thigh!

"Ouch! This Fang Zhengyi is so damned!"

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm going home first..."

"Master Zhang, I have something to do, I'm leaving first..."

Not long after, only Zhang Shi and Zhang Chang were left in the hall. Zhang Shi was anxious and angry, and shouted angrily: "Uncle Xu! Notify the following immediately! If strangers come to the fields at home, they must be strictly guarded. If they

If even a hair falls off, I will punish you severely!"

Zhang Shi took the newspaper and murmured: "Fang Zhengyi, I am cnm..."

Zhang Chang said with a sad face: "Dad, why don't you forget it? Fang Zhengyi is not a human being..."

"........."
