As the content in the newspaper spreads to ten, it spreads to hundreds.
The Beijing Daily immediately became a topic of conversation among the common people, especially after many people verified it.
I found the news above to be very true.
Therefore, before noon, all five thousand copies of the Shangjing Daily were sold out, and everyone who could read borrowed them for circulation.
Many people who couldn't buy it rushed to the door of Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, shouting to buy a newspaper to read.
After reporting this matter to Zhao Xiaole, Zhao Xiaole immediately rejected it.
“Do you understand what hunger marketing is?”
“Just when customers want it but can’t get it, they will want it even more!”
"What is the customer?"
"Don't worry about these details, hurry up and edit tomorrow's newspaper news!"
After listening to Zhao Xiaole's instructions, everyone in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce had no choice but to inform the public that the newspaper had been sold out, and they would have to come back tomorrow if they wanted!
Everyone had no choice but to disperse after shouting and cursing.
And this eagerness forced them to ask around and get newspapers from other places.
As Zhao Xiaole expected, this has accelerated the spread of newspaper news. No matter where you go, you can hear people on the streets discussing major international events in newspapers, or interesting things in a certain county.
"I have heard about this before. The governor of a county openly robbed other people's wives and daughters, causing other people's families to be destroyed. You really deserve to die!" A gray-hatted scholar said angrily in the inn.
There was also a scholar sitting behind him, who frowned and read the newspaper for a long time, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the governor of Xiangyang would be such a person. If I were an imperial envoy, I would definitely not tolerate such filth!"
"It deserves to be killed! It really deserves to be killed. The prince is really doing his best to eliminate harm for the people!"
Hearing this, the scholar in gray hat suddenly pondered, "Did the governor of Xiangyang take part in the imperial examination that year... and trusted the connections of Wang Yuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs?"
The scholar who distributed the newspaper picked up the newspaper and took another look at it, "Yes, his personal resume also clearly states that he did become a minister of civil affairs. Brother, what do you mean...?"
The gray hat scholar sneered, "Two days ago, someone claimed that Wang Yuan was his uncle and wanted to win over me. I was still hesitant at first. If I hadn't learned about this today, wouldn't I have been complicit with these traitors?"
"At that time, how can I live up to the innocence given by my parents?"
The distributing scholar narrowed his eyes and nodded: "What my brother said makes sense. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. It is only a matter of time before these traitors fall. You must not rely on their path!"
"I just didn't know that Wang Yuan, the official minister, could be such a thing..."
The two scholars and Wang Yuan also cursed each other, and this was just Zhao Xiaole's innuendo.
And he has yet to reveal more shocking news!
Xichang monitors the privacy of all officials. Anything they have done or mistakes they have made cannot escape the inspection of Xichang.
If all of them were exposed, it would probably cause an earthquake in the court, so Zhao Xiaole could only selectively release some of them.
It's just that, a large number of candidates have noticed the clues. Wang Yuan, who had secretly attracted a large number of candidates, suddenly found that many candidates' words had become blurred.
"I'm sorry, sir. I may have had too much wine that day and don't remember this."
"The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel? This is wrong. What I heard that day was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites! If so, please let me consider it..."
"..."
Almost all the candidates made such various remarks, so that all the candidates Wang Yuan had attracted since last year were almost crushed by the news from the Beijing Daily.
All his efforts to win over were in vain.
…
The third prince's residence.
Snap!
An expensive cup was smashed to the ground, and the ceramic pieces were scattered all over the floor.
The third prince pointed at Wang Yuan in front of him angrily, "What do you do for a living? How many candidates have you attracted until now? Tell me?"
The candidates are all future officials. After they become officials, they will actively contribute the money they have collected to their superiors in exchange for the opportunity to be promoted.
The third prince lost a lot of money because he couldn't win over the candidates. He spent so much every day, how could he not be anxious?
Wang Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Your Highness really doesn't know. Recently, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce published a Shangjing Daily. The above article even insinuated accusations against the subordinates. Many candidates have already believed it!"
"Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce again! How can a little Qin Sining manipulate you like this? Are you all pigs? Go and send a letter to King Pingxi immediately, asking him to cause trouble in Chuzhou!"
Snap!
This time a cup almost hit Wang Yuan on the head.
Wang Yuan was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. In fact, I have already thought of a countermeasure, and I can definitely save the defeat!"
"What's the countermeasure? Tell me!" The third prince held a ceramic teapot in his hand and looked at Wang Yuan coldly.
"Yes, yes!" Wang Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his head and said his countermeasures, "Your Highness, the other party's move is just to control public opinion. If he sends a letter to quell King Xi, I'm afraid it will play into the opponent's hands."
"Just imagine, if the other party reveals something about Prince Pingxi, I'm afraid it will arouse the anger of the common people and make it harder for the candidates to be used by His Highness!" Looking at the face of the third prince, a stern look flashed in Wang Yuan's eyes, and he continued
said:
"For the current plan, we can only run a newspaper. Since it is a public criticism, we only need to fight back!"
The third prince then put down the teapot and sneered: "Bitch, you finally know how to handle some personnel matters!"
"Go to the accountant to point out the money. You and Liu Bo can take out the insufficient part. You have made a lot of money over the years!"
"Yes, I understand!" Wang Yuan knew that he had passed the test, and then he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
The third prince became increasingly moody.
Wang Yuandu felt like he couldn't take care of him anymore.
It's a pity that he has already boarded the third prince's ship. Unless the ship sinks one day, he will never get off the ship.
After returning home, Wang Yuan started to get busy.
He informed Liu Berne in advance, then found all available manpower, and began to imitate the model of Shangjing Daily, collecting all kinds of anecdotes, and finally printed them into newspapers for sale.
However, this time he started to find fault between himself and the third prince, and began to make insinuations against the prince.
Anyway, it was only a matter of time before he fell out with the prince, so Wang Yuan naturally didn't care.
Zhao Xiaole still doesn't know anything about it. Of course, even if he knows, he doesn't care. He is busy dealing with another thing now.
Although Qin Sining entered the palace, although she could not check his bed at night, she still had no intention of letting him go.
