In order to change He Wan'er's mood, Xiao Jing took her around the town.

Eat, listen to music, buy gadgets...... Although Wan'er can do these things by herself, she is obviously happier with Xiao Jing's company, and slowly puts those troubles aside in lingering.

It's just that the people in the town looked at the two of them with a little strange eyes.

A handsome and elegant young man with a handsome scholar who is not too handsome to talk is nothing, but the terrible thing is the little scholar who makes many young girls excited, and he sometimes even has a coquettish posture - which makes people wonder after their hearts are shaken.

Seeing that it was time to apply, Xiao Jing had to cancel his plan to return to Beijing.

Anyway, there was still some time before dark, and he decided to do something else:

Visit the newspaper office of the fake mirror!

As it happened, the newspaper office was in this town, and the contact address was left under the "Mirror".

Just now, Xiao Jing's people have already found out: the coverage of the fake mirror newspaper is limited to here and a few surrounding towns, and there is no trace of this newspaper at all no matter how far away.

So the question is: what is the picture of the person who runs the newspaper?

Earn? Whose money does he earn for this point of circulation?

Famous? There are not even many decent landlords and old fortunes in this poor and remote country, does he show the blind man his flattery?

Xiao Jing, who was puzzled, decided to investigate it himself.

Not long after, he and He Wan'er came to this so-called newspaper.

After knocking on the door for a long time, a little guy with dark circles leaned out listlessly.

The man was originally impatient, but after Xiao Jing said the words "come to the president", he reluctantly led the two in.

Before stepping into the courtyard gate, Xiao Jing was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Is this a newspaper?

The small yard is full of dried meat, and there are many clothes that are drying in the wind, and you must be especially careful not to touch your head when walking;

There are not many places to put your feet, but there are all kinds of large and small statues of gods and Buddhas in this courtyard, in addition to the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, there are some strange stone carvings that Xiao Jing can't name.

In such an environment, there are several children chasing and playing hide and seek, and a middle-aged mother-in-law will be scolded from time to time.

Xiao Jing felt that his adaptability was okay, but he thought about it, if he was thrown into such a place......

Then it must be one head or two big, how to work?

With admiration, he followed the footsteps of the little servant into the "office".

What is very disappointing is that the so-called president is just a countryman who looks like he is in his thirties and is rich, and he is a typical nouveau riche image.

There were a few tables beside him, and behind him sat plainly dressed men with slightly gray hair, who were writing books. Look at what they look like...... Should it be a shabby old Confucian who came to beg for food?

Xiao Jing repeatedly reminded himself "don't judge people by their appearance", and stepped forward to salute very seriously.

"This brother is invited. Under the surname Liu Mingyang, he is the president of the Mirror News...... What do you want to discuss with Liu? Do you want to advertise, or do you want to ......"

He talked endlessly for a long time, and the more Xiao Jing listened, the more he frowned secretly.

This man is very marketable. Although he did not have the sour and rotten air of the literati, there was not even a little ink in his words. The more he spoke, the more he exposed the fact that his belly was full of straw bales.

Why would such a person open a newspaper?

He resembles a budding businessman, but running a newspaper should not be profitable for him at all—and besides, his temperament is somewhat different from that of an ordinary businessman......

Xiao Jing, who had all kinds of questions, casually coped with his words. Seeing that the other party was not here to spend money, Liu Yang's attitude gradually became cold, and finally he simply left Xiao Jing and sat back in his place to study; Looking at the way he shook his head, he didn't know if he really understood it or if he was just pretending.

Since the other party didn't say to send off guests, Xiao Jing cheekily "observed" inside for a while before leaving the office.

Before leaving, he suddenly looked back at Liu Yang again; It wasn't until the other party looked at this side suspiciously that he walked out of the door with a smile.

In recent years, newspapers of all sizes have sprung up and no one has managed them, which has led to the "wild growth" of chaotic newspapers.

At present, there is no rule that says that newspapers cannot be renamed, and if someone wants to rub the hot spot to borrow the name of the mirror newspaper, Xiao Jing is too lazy to care, otherwise he must press the gourd and scoop, and he may not be able to manage himself to death.

The real mirror newspaper is based on the capital and backed by the Xia family, it has already established a distinctive style and gained great prestige, it can be said that it is the only one in the world, and it is impossible for the nobles of Ruidu to distinguish between Li Kui and Li Gui.

In this case, these tabloids that make people laugh and cry are left to fend for themselves.

In fact, Xiao Jing's real focus fell on another matter:

Reporter Station!

The Mirror had previously set up a number of press stations throughout the country. Some of them have played an important role in providing many news clues and even manuscripts for newspapers; However, with the passage of time, many reporter stations have exposed problems such as insufficient staff training, perfunctory work of reporters, and lack of activity ability, and gradually have existed in name only.

At the same time, although the Mirror Newspaper has begun to be sold nationwide, the communication in this era is extremely backward, and people who are far away from the capital see the "old news" from a few days, ten days, or even a month ago, which is really far from the effect that Xiao Jing wants.

How can we eliminate these evils and make the real mirror visible to people everywhere, while squeezing the space for impostors to be confused?

Xiao Jing made up his mind after a little thought.

After returning to his residence, he called the guards around him and said, "What kind of president is today, please help me check his details." ”

The guard thought that the uncle was looking for trouble with the counterfeiters, and seriously agreed.

It's a pity that Xiao Jing thinks of something else: Liu Yang is a little familiar no matter how he looks at it, but he can't remember where he has seen this person.

It was strange for him to remember. Since he could be impressed by this ordinary person who couldn't be picked out in the crowd before, there was no reason to suddenly forget.

To be on the safe side, check it out!

In the evening of the next day, Xiao Jing returned to Puhua Town.

As soon as he arrived at the newspaper office, he called the monkey and wanted to be frank about what he was thinking.

Who knew that after a while, the monkey guy was very undisciplined, and his knees weakened, and he knelt in front of Xiao Jing with a plop.

"President, Brother Xiao...... I didn't do anything wrong, but don't get rid of me! ”
