In the palace of the capital, Emperor Hongzhi went down to the early dynasty, and he was habitually ready to start reviewing the recitals, he was a good emperor who was diligent and honest, and he worked for a long time every day, and there were many recitals that needed to be reviewed.

"Your Majesty, this is a new new thing in the capital today, called newspaper~"

At this time, Xiao Jing respectfully presented a newspaper and said.

"Newspapers?"

Emperor Hongzhi put down the matter in his hand, took the newspaper, and said curiously.

"That's right, this is a new thing made by Liu Jin and Liu Hanlin."

Xiao Jing said with a smile, anything that happened here in the capital could not be hidden from his eyes, not to mention that this newspaper was also published above board, and Xiao Jing naturally knew it as soon as possible.

"Liu Jin made it."

Emperor Hongzhi has actually guessed in his heart, and only Liu Jin, a kid, can toss, and there are always all kinds of new tricks.

He took his myopic glasses, picked up the newspaper and read it, and the whole person was immediately fascinated by this look.

"Interesting~Interesting~"

Emperor Hongzhi praised again and again, of course he knew about the Tartar Buckle Pass and the Southwest Tusi Rebellion, so he casually read it and began to read other content.

The more he reads it, the more he likes it, and through this newspaper, he can be regarded as knowing some things that will not reach his level at all.

He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally no one will tell him anything about Wang Enyi, the son of a ruined family, and no one will tell him about catching a big whale in Tianjin.

Now looking at the novelty things published in the Ming Morning Post, the whole person is also interested.

"Haha~"

"Yes, yes, this Ming Morning report is doing well."

Soon, Emperor Hongzhi finished reading the contents of the newspaper, and he seemed to have seen a lot of content about all aspects of the Ming Dynasty that he had not seen before, and the whole person was also happy.

"Xiao Jing, how much silver do I have in my pocket?"

Then after thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi also asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are still five million and seven hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver in the inner treasury."

Xiao Jing hurriedly said, Emperor Hongzhi is more concerned about his small treasury, and the numbers in the small treasury are also carried by Xiao Jing at all times.

"Pull five million taels of silver and deposit it in the first bank of Daming, let Liu Jin's interest be high, this silver can actually give silver, that Wang Enyi's father saved 300,000 taels of silver, and the interest is more than 20,000 taels a year, I have to have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a year."

Hongzhi instructed Xiao Jing, it turned out that he had taken a fancy to the interest here of the First Bank of Daming.

Emperor Hongzhi is rich now, and the more than 5 million taels of silver are only a small part of his inner money, and most of his silver is actually invested in various industries with Liu Jin.

Like Changlu Salt Farm, Miyun Iron Works, Daming First Bank, Ryukyu City on the Treasure Island, etc., among these industries, Emperor Hongzhi is the major shareholder, and he is all invested in real money, but even if he spends money like this, he still has a surplus of five million taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that he should reward Liu Jin well, he had saved money for ten years in the past, and his internal money was only more than one million taels of silver.

Now he spends money like flowing water every day, and scatters a lot of silver, but there is more and more silver in the house, and it has only been a long time, and he Hongzhi Emperor no longer has to worry about the matter of silver.

And his son Zhu Houzhao is richer than him and has more properties, thinking of this, he Hongzhi Emperor is in a good mood, he has money and is easy to do, he really understands this.

In the past, I was reluctant to do something, so don't think about it on the treasury side.

Now it's okay, if you want to repair the garden, you don't have to look at Zhou Jing's face for anything, you can spend your own money, you can spend it as much as you want, and no one can control it.

"Your Majesty, you are the major shareholder of the First Bank of Daming~"

Xiao Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi and reminded weakly.

"What happened to the shareholders?"

"Shareholders can't put money in it?"

Emperor Hongzhi said disapprerovitically: "You pull the silver over, Liu Jin's kid must be very happy." ”

"Yes~"

Xiao Jing hurriedly said respectfully.

"It's really a bit unaccustomed to looking at things horizontally from left to right, these punctuation, and writing things in the vernacular are very novel~"

After instructing this, Emperor Hongzhi picked up the newspaper and studied it carefully, and the vernacular text on it, as well as punctuation and the like, were very novel.

……

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, returned to his home in the morning, and there have been fewer things recently, and Emperor Hongzhi did not leave him down every day to discuss things, so he could go home early to rest and rest.

"I'm starving to death~"

When he returned home, the first thing Liu Jian did was to have breakfast.

It's not easy to be a minister, especially to be a courtier for the old Zhu family, it's even more difficult.

This early dynasty is too early, every day before dawn to get up to go to the morning court, this early dynasty lasts for an uncertain time, so they will eat a little first, but they don't dare to eat too much, afraid of the early morning rush time.

So generally these ministers will be very hungry in the morning, if he is summoned by Emperor Hongzhi to discuss matters, Emperor Hongzhi will also let him prepare some breakfast, which is still very good for the courtiers.

"Master, this is a new newspaper today, do you want to read it?"

While eating breakfast, the housekeeper in Liu Jian's house also came over with a newspaper and said.

"Newspapers?"

Liu Jian was slightly stunned, took the newspaper and read it, and naturally the whole person was immediately fascinated, and he read it with relish all of a sudden, and even forgot to eat breakfast.

"Who made this newspaper?"

Soon, Liu Jian finished reading the above content and hurriedly asked.

"It's Liu Jin and Liu Hanlin~"

The butler replied.

"Sure enough, it's him, and only he can think of such a way."

Liu Jian immediately laughed, and then looked carefully while eating breakfast.

"It's very novel to write an article in the vernacular, and these punctuation and the like make it easy to read the paragraphs, and the things published above are also very interesting."

After reading it again, Liu Jian also kept commenting.

"This Ming No. 1 Bank deposit money really has interest?"

Soon, when he saw Wang Enyi's report again, he also stopped slightly.

The matter of the First Bank of Daming, of course he knows, in the past, the people under his hands sent all kinds of Xiao Jing to send real money, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., and now everyone is popular to send silver tickets and silver dollars to the First Bank of Daming.

In a very short period of time, everyone fell in love with the silver bills and silver dollars of the First Bank of Daming, which also became hard currency and something that everyone liked.

He also knows some of the many businesses of the First Bank of Daming, and he has never believed that the deposit business will have interest on the deposit of this silver in their First Bank of Daming?

I'm afraid that I won't even get the principal back then.

Well, as soon as the newspaper published Wang Enyi's matter, he finally believed it, and the money deposited in the First Bank of Daming really had interest, and the money could make money.

"Deposit all the money in the family to the First Bank of Daming~"

Soon, Liu Jian also made the same decision as Emperor Hongzhi, saving silver, anyway, he was not afraid that Liu Jin would run away with money.

……

"Insulting Sven ~ Insulting Sven ~"

"How can this Ming Morning Post write articles in the vernacular, how can it change the rules of writing handed down by the ancestors without authorization, and add some punctuation and other things without authorization."

"It's just insulting~"

Here, a group of scholars looked at the Ming Morning News, and they were angry one by one.

The novel way of writing the Ming Morning Post, as well as the way of writing articles in the vernacular, made it difficult for them to accept.

In the opinion of these scholars, this article should be learned from the ancients, as concise as possible, the fewer words the better, the more bullish, and the words must rhyme, and the same as writing poetry, it must be a battle and a duality, how can there be no battle or duality like this newspaper.

The use of vernacular is simply the biggest insult to their readers, and it is also an insult to the text.

"This Daming Morning Post must be canceled, or they must be changed back, and they must not be so insulting to Sven and let Sven sweep the floor."

Someone shouted.

"Yes~ Yes, it must be changed back, and if you don't change it back, you will cancel their Ming Morning Post."

"Let's go~ Let's go to the Ming Morning Report here and ask them for an explanation."

A group of scholars shouted and walked towards the place of the Ming Morning Post, ready to have a good theory with the Ming Morning Post, why the Ming Morning Post should be in the vernacular, why the writing is not in accordance with the traditional rules, and they must give an explanation from the Ming Morning Post, and they are willing to give up.

……

"Tsk, Lao Liu, your newspaper is interesting."

In Liu Jin's house, Zhu Houzhao came to Liu Jin's house to eat and drink again, and while eating, he also read the newspaper and said while reading.

"It's ordinary, that is, it just came out, and everyone thinks it's strange."

Liu Jin said disappreciatively.

"Does this Ming Morning Post make money?"

Then Zhu Houzhao also hurriedly asked.

"Make money?"

"I lost all the money to my grandmother's house for running this Ming Morning Post, this newspaper, a newspaper sells for five cents, do you think I can make money?"

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head and said.

"Yes~ You won't make a loss-making transaction, less nonsense, hurry up and divide half of my shares."

Zhu Houzhao said with great certainty that there is nothing that Liu Jin does that does not make money, so he does not believe that Liu Jin will generate electricity for love.

"Okay, you give 100,000 taels of silver first, and I will give up half of the shares, to be honest, this thing really doesn't make money, but running this newspaper is also for making money."

Liu Jin said briskly.

"100,000 taels of silver is trivial, I'll have someone send it when I get back."

"Tell me, what's the use of this Ming Morning Post?"

Zhu Houzhao said nonchalantly, who is he, the big guy who carries tens of thousands of silver tickets in his pocket at any time, 100,000 taels of silver, he sprinkled water and threw it out, there is no way, he is rich and capricious.

"This newspaper only sells for five cents, and if you sell 10,000 copies a day, it's only 50,000 cents, a matter of dozens of taels of silver, in terms of your style of doing things, the money invested is more than a little casually."

"So it's definitely not about selling newspapers to make money, let's talk about how to make money from it?"

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes, and said after careful thought.
