Chapter 100 Min Qingtian

The banquet was held in the most luxurious Zuixianlou in Jinling City.

During the Japanese pirates' rebellion, most restaurants and inns have been closed or semi-opened, but Zuixianlou is brightly lit. As a restaurant that focuses on high-end, this Japanese turmoil has little impact on their business. After all, there are starving ghosts outside the city gate, and the city is still singing and dancing.

Zhang Youqian and I arrived at Zuixianlou. Three people were already waiting there. The last time I reported to me and Xie Junyan, the one who was beaten up, was also among them. The other ones were fat and thin, namely Zhuo Xiaowei, the owner of Gossip Weekly, and Song Youde, editor-in-chief.

If you talk about the media of the world, Xiaosheng, who has been founded for decades, has an absolute advantage. Xiaosheng, Jianghu and Xiaosheng Information, which have always been fair and objective, rank first in the world. However, in recent years, Gossip Weekly, as a rising star, has also occupied a certain market share with biased reports, entertainment spirit and gossip news.

These two weekly magazines have their own characteristics. The slogan of Xiaosheng Jianghu is "Xiaosheng Information, a different slogan", while the slogan of Gossip Weekly is "The slogan in your heart".

The characteristics of the two companies can be seen from the slogans of the two. Xiaosheng Jianghu focuses on leading the trend of Jianghu, and is keen on various rankings and major events in Jianghu.

The gossip weekly's proposition is quite special. They believe that everyone's minds are different. They do not care about the ranking of the rivers and lakes, and are more keen on various paparazzi news. They do not have high requirements for the authenticity of the rivers and lakes. Last year, they reported that Song Qingping, the head of Qinglongmen, had an affair, which caused controversial discussion in the rivers and lakes. Some people said that they violated personal **, some said that public figures need supervision, and everyone had their own opinions, but the reputation of gossip weekly is getting more and more popular.

Zhang Youqian's business talent was fully demonstrated during this meal. He chatted and laughed throughout the meal, but he did not talk about sponsorship, and always held the rhythm in his own hands.

The ritual of the field trip, which is still three views, is good. He talks freely. Nowadays, the main contradiction in the media industry is the contradiction between the growing spiritual needs of the people in the world and the backward and rigid reports of the world. Today, the world is full of wonderful things, but various gossip reports are extremely scarce, and people's curiosity is not satisfied. It is precisely because our gossip weekly is attracted by this that it promotes gossip, so that everyone can see a more real and interesting world. For example, last year, I slept on firewood and tasted gall in Qinglongmen for three months before I got the evidence of Song's cheating. As soon as this news came out, it caused a sensation in the world.

I said you are really hard-working. If you have the skill to follow the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Army and report the Battle of Chongming, it can be considered as promoting positive energy.

Cai Feng shook his head and said, "You don't understand this Captain Su." The masses need gossip, and the world needs gossip. Our existence is to follow the trend. The facts have proved that our positioning has brought us a steady stream of profits to the gossip weekly.

Zhang Youqian smiled with a glass of wine, but why did I hear that your gossip weekly sales have not been good recently, and he can't even pay for the field trip? The line of the line says nothing else, but the salary of our gossip weekly is still the best in the entire industry.

I pointed to the chicken legs that he had secretly stuffed into his arms, saying that he was still the best. He didn't eat a few chopsticks on this table, and he pretended to be in your arms. The field trip smiled awkwardly. Isn't this responding to the imperial court's CD-ROM action? Do you think I really lack this little money.

Zhang Youqian teased, as far as I know, in recent issues of gossip weekly, you sold less than 300 copies and couldn't even pay for the field trip. I heard that a group of you recently resigned and were poached by Xiaosheng's gossip supplements. This news should be correct.

Finally, when we talked about the main topic, our boss Zhuo Xiaowei sighed, Xiaosheng is too bullying, and we are indebted to the truth. If Constable Zhang hadn't come to me, we would have closed the door next month. Captain Zhang, you have been so furious that we have all night. If you have any instructions, let's just say it.

Zhang Youqian picked up the chopsticks and chewed them slowly. Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for him to speak. After he finished eating the dish, he said slowly, "I am going to inject 5,000 taels of silver to acquire 90% of your Gossip Weekly shares."

Zhuo Xiaowei's chopsticks fell to the ground. What, are you dreaming?

Zhang Youqian smiled and said, if a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?

Our gossip weekly market value is at least 30,000 taels!

Don’t worry, Zhuo family, how much money is your gossip weekly before, but now it’s different. You don’t even have a decent field trip now. I am lazy, and I’m going to hide it. If you don’t agree with this plan, believe it or not, I will dig all your field trips with a salary of 30 or 2 years to start a new job? Don’t worry, I’m a person who lacks everything, so I don’t lack money!

Editor-in-chief Song Wude's eyes shone, and he stood up and said, "Hello, boss!"

Zhuo Dangjia was so angry that his whole body was trembling. You are taking advantage of the situation to rob him!

Zhang Youqian said coldly, the capital market is ruthless. You have to know that our Jianghu Department is preparing to do a big fight. It is your luck to find your cooperation. Without your gossip weekly, we can’t find the Nine Gate Weekly or Ten Gate Weekly? Is it okay to agree or refuse, Manager Zhuo should give you a happy word!

After coming out of Zuixianlou, I said I really didn't expect you to be a good player at the negotiating table. Zhang Youqian smiled. I thought it would be good to get half of their equity in 5,000 taels, but who expected that they were so short of money. Lord Su, the gossip weekly has been taken down. What should we do next?

I said that if we should cut off the martial arts in Jiangnan, we should cut off the flesh and take it slowly. Let’s start with the implementation of sect registration and annual inspection. Now Xiaosheng’s Jianghu is in our hands. In the next few issues, we will issue a notice that for any sect that cooperates with our filing and annual inspection, we will give business convenience and tax benefits to all sects that cooperate with our filing and annual inspection, those rich sects may resist, but it is hard to say whether small and medium-sized sects can hinder the temptation. As long as there is a breakthrough, this matter will be easy to deal with.

Zhang Youqian said that you are not as good as me in business, but you are much better than me in this bad idea.

I said suddenly that the most important problem now is that the Jianghu Department lacks masters and your martial arts skills are too poor. It would be great if I could get Chen Qingyang's little widow over. If not, Lao Sun would set up a seven-door door. The Thirteenth Taibao will do two of them. I will write to him tomorrow.

Zhang Youqian shouted, "After all, I have stayed in school, I am a direct disciple of the Clayden Sect of the Dabidian Empire, and I have a diploma."

I spitted, your graduation certificate was obtained under the overpass.

Zhang Youqian muttered, it’s interesting to say that, it’s hard to get rid of people.

I suddenly remembered something and asked: Is the fieldwork that is still alive and reliable? Why do I think he is crazy?

Zhang Youqian said that he had written soft articles with him before, and some of his talents were not lucky and a little greedy for money. Lao Su, if you want to implement the new policy, it is a good choice to find him.

I said I wanted to use this person, so I would give it enough money. I don’t want to see him secretly hiding his chicken legs next time I have dinner.

Zhuge Shaobing arranged for our Jianghu Department to be responsible for repatriating refugees. The next morning, Zhang Youqian and I came outside Jinling City. Jiangnan and Liu Sanjin were waiting at the door, and Pang Tiande's disappearance had not yet been lost. He was the key to the Hu Zongxian case. The trial will be opened in two days. If he can be found, it may be able to save Hu Zongxian's political future.

Tens of thousands of refugees are now stationed outside Jinling City. Among these refugees, 70 to 80% of them are the people in Songjiang Prefecture, and the rest are the people in the surrounding county towns. When the Japanese pirates captured Chongming Island, Songjiang Prefect Luo Youdao ran away. Now several county magistrates in Songjiang have been called to Jinling City and joined the lobbying team.

These people set up refugee committees outside the city, responsible for maintaining order and assisting the government in issuing relief, and have the highest prestige among the people. We discuss the repatriation of them, so we must start with these people.

This organization has more than 20 people, mainly village protection in each village and prestigious local family elders.

The leader is Wu Sanlang. His temple is raised and his body is covered with flesh. He is obviously a martial arts practitioner. He heard that he was originally from Shandong, and his eldest brother was poisoned to death. His second brother became a monk. He was alone in Songjiang, took root in Songjiang Mansion, married and had children. When the Japanese pirates invaded, he was in another place, and his wife was separated and his whereabouts were still unknown.

Zhang Youqian had run a porridge shop before and was familiar with some of them. Under his instigation, we held a meeting in a dilapidated temple outside the city.

In the ruined temple, more than 20 people had their own opinions and expressed their opinions one after another. These people were mainly worried about three main problems. One was that after the natural disaster, the food could not last until autumn, the second was that there were wealthy families who had merged their land, and the third was that they were in the year of corvee service. Now that their homes were in ruins, they would probably be even worse if they recruited strong men to serve.

If these three problems are not solved, they will not agree to go back.

I thought to myself that these three problems are not difficult, they are all the most basic demands of the people, but Jinling City sent several groups of people but none of them solved these problems.

First, this is Jinling City and has no jurisdiction with Songjiang Prefecture, so no one who comes to negotiate dares to agree to their request. Second, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian, who has jurisdiction, has been detained, and the new governor has not yet been in place and cannot perform his duties normally.

At this time, I heard a clear middle-aged man shouting loudly, fellow villagers!

With this sound, everyone stopped arguing and looked at him.

This middle-aged man looks thin, dressed in plain clothes, wearing straw sandals, and a book boy following him, carrying a luggage.

He said slowly: Today, I will represent the court and all the elders to negotiate. The food for disaster relief has been mobilized from other provinces. I believe that it will be distributed to everyone in the short term. Each strong man will be three or two meters long, and each elderly, women, and children will be distributed at one time for five months. If everyone can rush back to replenish the seedlings, there will be some harvest at that time, and it will not be a problem to hold on until the end of the year.

Are the common people? It depends on this acre of three parts of land, and it is not easy for everyone to support themselves. I know you are worried that if you don’t have enough food and are forced to sell land at a low price after you go back, please rest assured that the villagers will report to the court to determine the land price. Each acre of land cannot be lower than the minimum price of 30 stones. In addition, I will report to the Ming court for corvee and exempt Songjiang Prefecture from three years of corvee service.

As soon as these words came out, everyone whispered. It was just because of this. Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man would solve it so easily?

Wu Sanlang stared at the middle-aged man with his eyes and said, "Why should we believe you?"

The middle-aged man said that this official, Min Qiuye.

I suddenly realized that it was Min Qiuye, the new Jinling Tongzhi who replaced Lord Gong!
