Haiyuan Calendar 1508.

In Donghai, in the conference room of a newspaper, a thin and tall bald middle-aged man stood in front of the blackboard and shouted loudly: "News! News! I want scoop!"

"Sales have fallen below the red line. If this continues, the newspaper will go bankrupt. I will kill you one by one, and then kill yourself by swallowing a gun!" The middle-aged man's eyes were red, his tie was pulled apart at will, and his whole body was like a large vulture.

Perhaps because his editor-in-chief looked too terrifying, an editor raised his hand tremblingly like a good student.

"Say!" The Vulture Editor-in-Chief waved his hand.

"The maritime train of the Great Road is completed recently..."

Before the good student editor could express the word "典", the chalk of the Vulture editor-in-chief had already been smashed.

"Next!"

"……The president of the No. 4 Shipbuilding Company of Qishui Capital was burying fifty people in the sea during the purchase of wood due to lack of supplies, resulting in the bankruptcy of the No. 4 Shipbuilding Company."

The Vulture Editor-in-Chief looked at the spoken editor with an unpredictable expression and asked, "What is our newspaper called?"

“… Donghai Daily.”

The Vulture Editor-in-Chief was furious and grabbed the chalk and threw it over. He threw one out of it. He threw a few chalk one after another, cursing: "I know it's the 'East Sea' Daily, and I've been giving me news about the great route! I'll make you great route, I'll make you great!"

"I want news from the East China Sea! Scoop! I want readers to be unable to walk just by seeing the first word of the title!" The vulture editor let go of the editor who was smashed by the bag and shouted, "Or it is as common as last year's Mary Joa attack, which can resonate with readers!"

The Mary Joa attack last year was indeed a blessing for news practitioners, and for local media such as the Donghai Daily.

First of all, the people are happy about the despair of the Dragon Man. Secondly, they are also very curious about the extremely rare fish-human race in the East China Sea.

Although the name of "Donghai Daily" is very formal, it is actually just a gossip tabloid with no moral integrity. During that time, the newspaper editors made up for the fishman's random fabrication to attract attention, which actually made newspaper sales rise for a while.

It’s a pity that this gift package from heaven does not have this year!

When faced with the tyranny of the editor-in-chief, all the editors who participated in the pre-editor meeting had to lower their already unprideful heads.

Gaseta's mouth curled up, and he felt a little proud. He had been prepared long before this meeting.

"I received news that the prohibition of the Navia Kingdom is actually in name only in the past year!" Gaseta knocked on the notebook with a pencil, attracting the attention of colleagues, including the editor-in-chief, and said confidently, "From my information, at present, except for the strict supervision of the royal city Kalma, the entire kingdom's underground black market has not been cut off."

"It's not enough..." The Vulture Editor-in-Chief returned to normal from the state of blasting beans, supported his chin with one hand, muttered to himself, then stared at Gaseta and asked, "Is there any more specific news?"

Gaseta said somewhat unnaturally: "It is said that there is a complete line of production, transportation, and sales, and there are also human escorts for alcohol smuggling."

"Nonsense!" said the Vulture Editor-in-Chief without any hesitation, "You don't have to think about it and you know that there is such a line. I want a burst point!"

“Stirring profits from smuggling?”

"Local officials are in trouble!"

An editor made a proposal as soon as possible.

The Vulture Editor-in-Chief went back and forth, and these were actually enough for them to make up a series of news, but he still felt a little unsatisfied.

"Can we extend the topic to the king of the Navia Kingdom?" Gsetta was robbed of his voice before, and he said unwillingly at this time.

The Vulture Editor clapped his hands and said happily: "Yes, we can score periods and gradually package him as a hot character! A clown!"

He glanced at everyone: "What is the general impression of him?"

"Idiot!" said an editor with a rosaceae bluntly.

"True." It's also humane.

"He should be a churchman, right?"

"His thoughts are too out of reality."

While listening to everyone's words, the Vulture Editor wrote vocabulary on the blackboard: "True, believer, out of reality..."

The editor-in-chief left the chalk, looked at the content on the blackboard, and fell into deep thought. Other editors also gathered in front of him and expressed their opinions:

"What about this image of a devout believer?"

"It's too positive, readers won't buy it."

"That fanatical believer?"

"Almost meaningful."

The Vulture Editor came back from his meditation and shouted: "Religious madman, from now on, in our writing, he is a religious madman in the eyes of readers! A religious madman king who bans alcohol!"

Everyone was stunned, and then the horses were tide, with only a voice that was not very sociable. It was not until then that they said weakly: "However, the strict support for the ban on alcohol seems to be only a few of the Protestant religions, and none of them seemed to have spread in the Kingdom of Navia."

The conference room was quiet again. After a long time, someone said sarcastically: "A person like you will sooner or later go out to chew the bark. Who would care about these things except boring guys?"

The Vulture Editor nodded to Gaseta with appreciation and said, "Your news is good. Is there any material to dig into the news?"

Everyone in the room looked at Gaseta with jealousy, which made him somewhat proud. He hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a piece of news, but it is only heard from the truth, and there is no actual evidence. It is said that the people who set up the local trade smuggling network of the Kingdom are only a group of young people who are probably less than twenty years old..."

The reason why Gaseta hesitated was that the truth of the news was not even as true as the rumors about Norton I. It was all heard of it and had no basis for it.

But the Vulture Editor-in-Chief's eyes lit up. The most important thing is to attract readers. Novelty and attract attention.

The Vulture Editor waved the chalk and wrote a few big words on the blackboard:

"Religious madman and young godfather", he also drew a circle on the word "young", regardless of whether the other person's age is still considered a teenager.

...

The capital of the Navia Kingdom, in the palace of Kalma City, the morning court ended as before.

Since Arcadio walked out of the palace, he returned to his spirit from humility.

So what if the king who nominally governs the seas of thousands of miles of territory? A king who was born and raised in the palace can actually see and contact them every day, but the local people and affairs in this area are everywhere.

All other things have to be described by the ministers around him. From this point of view, Arcadio, as the Minister of Finance, has been very careful.

Of course, Norton I was not the editor-in-chief of the East China Sea Daily. He was about to be fabricated as a religious madman. He was just too whimsical, and he was also very concerned about his country and people. But he, who was divorced from reality, finally chose to "carry" the people and the country with ridiculous method of "prohibition". In fact, it was Arcadio.

Only those who are wandering on the edge of politics and want to enter the political center but are unavailable will make profits by selling policy news, while real state officials like Arcadio will choose to promote policies themselves to make profits.

Out of caution, although Arcadio successfully implemented the ban on alcohol, he did not immediately interfere with the premeditated smuggling business, but waited for a full year, which almost extinct the entire royal city of alcohol.

On the one hand, it was to cultivate the demand for products by customers in the kingdom's largest market. On the other hand, it completely paralyzed and deceived King Norton I, making him think that the prohibition he issued was indeed effective, so that he could relax his attention in this area and divert his attention.

Now, it's time for Arcadio to harvest the rich fruits.

(There is Christianity in the world of One Piece. It can be seen from the Hawkeye Cross and the nuns in Luo's memories, and from the perspective of having nuns, the possibility of Catholicism is higher, because in the Protestantism, except for branches such as the Anglicans and Lutherans, most of them do not have nuns and empire systems.

The book’s prohibition is based on events that have happened in the United States in history, but American religions are mainly Protestantism. The prohibition actually appeared under the background of events such as Puritans and women’s movements, and is not as "personal heroism" as in the book.

I don’t believe in religion, and there may be something wrong. Friends who believe in religion should not take pictures of me. Also, please don’t ask me how to know these things because of this. I will chew on the bark of trees.

The previous chapter marked is foreshadowing. You can remind me when you dig it out later. This chapter is the same. Since you pursue reasonableness and IQ online, you need to fill in details. Using cooking as a metaphor, I don’t know if this book is considered a good dish, but I want to make good dishes for everyone to taste, and I also beg me to give me some time to serve the dishes.)
Chapter completed!
