Mu Bin also came to report that someone was flying into the sky, although he was a step late, but he brought detailed news, he reported Tao Wansan and the other three people to the sky in a hot air balloon, and successfully landed to Emperor Hongzhi in detail.

"So, this matter is led by Li Zhaotong?"

Emperor Hongji asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter is indeed related to Gongzi Li."

Mu Bin replied respectfully.

"So ...... that's it?"

Emperor Hongji was moved.

It is true that Emperor Hongzhi is a Ming monarch, but Li Shimin's kind of emperor through the ages is not exempt from vulgarity, and he is a Ming monarch, and he is even more inevitably the desire to seek immortals from heaven.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi began to think about whether he wanted to see how the hot air balloon flew into the sky, and then ask the three warriors in the sky if there were any gods in the sky.

……

There are many, many people who want to ask if there are immortals in the sky, and it can even be said that in addition to Li Zhaotong, even Wang Shouren, a young saint, is also very curious about this.

Therefore, when Tao Wansan and the other three warriors landed safely, the three of them were treated like heroes, and then, the people who visited the three of them became endless.

Everyone's question is nothing more than whether there are gods in the sky and whether there is a heavenly palace!

Of course, Tao Wansan and the three of them all answered truthfully no.

But it didn't work!

And not everyone was able to visit these three people, so rumors arose.

What three warriors are looking for immortals!

The three warriors have been blessed by the immortals!

The three warriors are blessed by the immortals!

The three warriors can live forever!

Only by taking a hot air balloon to the sky, you can enter the heavenly palace, drink a cup of elixir and jade liquid, and prolong your life for a thousand years!

……

All kinds of rumors are flying!

Eventually, the rumors intensified, and the rumors began to spread not only in Triangle Lake and Tianjinwei, but also in Beijing.

Then, Li Zhaotong's trouble came.

First of all, Li Dongyang, who believed in Zi Bu and was confused, sent someone to Triangle Lake to ask Li Zhaotong about the specific situation.

Then, it was the ministers and nobles who went out.

The vast majority of ministers are okay, because they are busy with official business, they just send people to ask, but those nobles are different.

They all came out of the capital, and one by one, they rushed to Tianjin Wei to find Li Zhaotong to inquire about the situation in person.

First of all, he needs to win over these people, and secondly, these people are all here in the name of visiting his juniors, which makes it difficult for Li Zhaotong to shirk it, otherwise he will offend such a large number of nobles, even if his father is Li Dongyang, he can't bear it!

Therefore, Li Zhaotong was annoyed by these people, and a lot of work could not be carried out normally, and most of his time was either entertaining the nobles or taking the nobles to see the hot air balloons flying.

This will make Li Zhaotong bigger, that's called a big head!

"No, we can't go on like this!"

Sending away the Zhang brothers who wanted to buy a hot air balloon, Li Zhaotong finally couldn't help it.

"We must control public opinion and refute rumors!"

……

"Your Highness, how are you learning to swim?"

Before coming to Triangle Lake, Zhu Houzhao was a landlubber, and after Li Zhaotong knew about it, he was ready to scientifically guide Zhu Houzhao to train, let people dig a swimming pool, and then select the best swimming skills from the global construction engineering to guide Zhu Houzhao to swim.

After all, learning to swim can not only provide an additional skill to ensure one's own safety, but also effectively stimulate the development of multiple body systems such as the nervous system and respiratory system, and promote the exercise of muscles in many parts of the body.

This is very suitable for Zhu Houzhao, a precocious prince who is more than six years old.

"What kind of character is this palace, how can it be difficult to swim in this palace, this palace now does not need pig urine bubbles, you can swim by yourself."

Zhu Houzhao replied proudly.

"His Royal Highness is only eight buckets high, and he is indeed powerful."

Li Zhaotong asked Zhu Houzhao, so he followed Zhu Houzhao's words, otherwise, he would say a few words.

Anyway, the dog is forcing the prince to be more and more shameless.

"Of course!"

Zhu Houzhao straightened his chest, raised his little head, very proud, and then put his hands behind his back, posing as a young man, and said with his nostrils facing the sky:

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, say, Li Er, what is the matter with this palace?"

"Your Highness, can you speak without your nostrils facing the sky? It's a bit of a secondary two! Li Zhaotong couldn't help it.

"What is Form 2?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little unsightly."

Li Zhaotong won't tell Zhu Houzhao that the second thing in the middle is stupid, this self-righteous and talented prince can be called ugly, but you must not say that he is stupid, otherwise, he will be finished with you.

didn't give Zhu Houzhao a chance to break the casserole and ask to the end, Li Zhaotong immediately cut to the chase:

"Your Highness, I now have a business that may be losing money at the moment, but will definitely make a lot of money in the future, do you want to participate?"

"What business?"

Zhu Houzhao is not easy to fool, and now this product has followed Li Zhao to the way of doing business, and he will not be fooled by Li Zhaotong now.

Although, this bullshit prince is very rich now!

"Start a newspaper."

"Newspapers?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, and then asked:

"You're talking about Di Bao?"

Newspapers appeared as early as the Han Dynasty, but from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, most of the newspapers were only circulated among officials, so they were generally called Di Bao.

Speaking of most of the things here, there are naturally exceptions, such as the "Kaiyuan Miscellaneous Newspaper" in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, which is not only circulated among officials, it is posted outside the palace gate of Chang'an City, the capital at that time, and the imperial court publishes the government briefing on the dynamics of the emperor and hundreds of officials every day, which is very different from the Di Bao.

This is arguably the world's first newspaper in the true sense of the word.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao can understand the general meaning of the newspaper.

Daming only Di Bao, the publication and distribution of "Di Bao", by the Department of General Administration, the method of distribution, basically hand-copied, by the officials of the Department of General Administration, and then distributed to the local government.

"It's a bit similar, Di Bao basically only publishes official documents, and the newspaper not only publishes official documents, but also publishes social news, such as this hot air balloon test, this rumor is getting more and more intense, and we can publish this matter in the newspaper to refute the rumor."

Li Zhaotong explained it roughly.

"You dog, you know that you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief, it turns out that you were annoyed by the visits of those nobles, and you want to explain it clearly at one time, so you came to the palace."

Zhu Houzhao saw through Li Zhaotong's primary purpose at a glance, and then he laughed and scolded.

"Your Highness, whether you are involved or not, give me a clear word! If you don't participate, I'll go back to the capital to find Your Majesty. ”

Don't think that the ancients didn't know how to control public opinion, the ancients knew a lot about controlling public opinion! And the control is very strict, and it is a capital crime at every turn!

Newspapers, which are considered a new thing, have just appeared, maybe Emperor Hongzhi and the princes of the court can't feel anything, but after a long time, these people will definitely know how powerful newspapers are.

Therefore, Li Zhaotong did not dare to go it alone, he had to pull Zhu Houzhao, or Emperor Hongzhi, and add a layer of royal identity to the newspaper he ran, so that this newspaper could be run and he, Li Zhaotong, would not be in danger of life.
