Liu Xuanchu's preparations for the establishment of Zhonghua Newspaper began with the acquisition of a bookstore, and five days later the first newspaper of historical significance, Zhonghua Daily, was printed.

Liu Xuanchu excitedly knocked on the door of Qi Liang's study with the newspaper, and raised the newspaper in his hand loudly: "Shizi! Fortunately, the first newspaper came out! "The style and layout of the newspaper are all made according to Qi Liang's requirements.

Qi Liang unfolded the newspaper, a smell of oil wafted in, although the newspaper was rough, and could not be compared with the brightly colored, illustrated, and vivid color printing of the newspaper in later generations, but it also began to take shape.

At this time, the writing and reading habits were from top to bottom, from right to left, Qi Liang came to this era for nearly a year and is still a little uncomfortable, he looked down and asked at the same time: "How are you going to sell?" ”

Liu Xuanchu said: "First put 1,000 copies and send them to all the houses in Kunming City, and then add 200 copies every day, all of which will be distributed free of charge, and on the 10th day, stop all deliveries and send people to buy them along the street."

Qi Liang was surprised, such a clever marketing method was no less than that of later generations, and praised: "Mr. Clever! ”

Liu Xuanchu was stunned: "The son! This is not a subordinate idea! ”

Qi Liangqi asked, "Who is it from?" ”

Liu Xuanchu said: "The former young owner of Chuxiong Bookstore - Zhang Mingzhou!" "The bookstore he bought was Chuxiong Bookstore.

Qi Liang asked with interest: "Who is this person?" Where is it now? ”

Liu Xuanchu said: "Zhang Mingzhou is the second manager of Zhonghua Newspaper, this person is smart, diligent and studious, and good at business!" "Chuxiong Bookstore has changed its name to Zhonghua Newspaper at this time.

Qi Liang turned his head sideways and asked: "Listen to your words, it seems that this Chuxiong Bookstore belongs to Zhang Mingzhou, since he is so smart and business-minded, why is Chuxiong Bookstore not good and wants to sell it to you?" ”

Liu Xuanchu smiled and said: "The betrayal of Chuxiong Bookstore is not Zhang Mingzhou's mismanagement, but Zhang Mingzhou's old father was robbed and captured by mountain bandits on the way back to Yunnan from Guangxi, and he needs to pay a large amount of ransom!" ”

I see, Qi Liang asked: "How is this Zhang Mingzhou's character?" "I also thought that there are many bandits and bandits in the mountains, and if we want to develop the economy and invigorate circulation in the future, we must remove all these obstacles one by one.

"Zhang Mingzhou is credible!" Liu Xuanchu said succinctly. He understood what Qi Liang meant, and knew that the prince was ready to use Zhang Mingzhou, how would the prince use it? I can't help but be curious.

The word "credible" came from Liu Xuanchu's mouth, which was as heavy as a thousand gold, and Qi Liang smiled heartily: "Sir! Is there anyone who is the director of the Economic Department of Tianshuo Prefecture? ”

"No suitable candidate yet!" Liu Xuanchu shook his head, and was surprised in his heart, he would not let Zhang Mingzhou serve as the director of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, right?

Qi Liang did not hesitate: "Let Zhang Mingzhou be the director of the Economic Department of Tianshuo Mansion!" Before, I wanted him to come and meet me. ”

Entrusting such an important task to a person he has never met, Liu Xuanchu certainly knows that Shizi is not only an appreciation for Zhang Mingzhou, but also his trust.

"For the sales of Zhonghua Bao, I would like to add one more point, let all the yamen in Kunming order a copy, and those who do not want to order it can be enforced by the royal decree!" In this regard, Qi Liang borrowed from the distribution methods of various Chinese organ newspapers in later generations.

Liu Xuanchu said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, as long as you say that China Daily is still hosted by Tianshuo Mansion, and officials of all sizes are still eager to subscribe to it?" ”

Qi Liang thinks about it, which dynasty and which generation are not the majority of people who are not sloppy? Even more so in the Hereafter. He smiled and turned his gaze back to the newspaper, pointed to an article in the upper left corner and asked, "This article is interesting, who wrote it?" "Although the writing is still naïve, it is open-minded and broad-minded.

Liu Xuanchu glanced at it, this is an article about the appearance of some Westerners in Kunming, the article is full of curiosity about Westerners, and finally expresses a desire to exchange and learn from Westerners, and the end is signed "Chukai"!

"A showman!" Liu Xuanchu said casually.

After the establishment of the Zhonghua Newspaper Agency, it has recruited some literati and artists in Kunming City, but most of them are some talented people who live in poverty, and most of those celebrities and scholars are disdainful.

"Dare to accept new things, and be willing to accept new things, this show is good!" Qi Liang affirmed, "Mr. has too many things to do, and after the Zhonghua Newspaper is on the right track, Mr. will unload this burden and let this show be responsible." Now, Qi Liang's basic requirement for the newspaper is to be open-minded and bold in his work!

Liu Xuanchu was stunned, Ai Ai didn't know how to answer, Qi Liang glanced at it, and asked with a smile: "What?" Mr. is still reluctant to the Zhonghua Newspaper? I'm thinking about Mr.'s body, don't work hard in every detail, just grasp the overall situation, and there will be more places for me to borrow Mr. in the future, and Mr. will be busy! ”

Liu Xuanchu snorted: "No, it's not because of this ......"

Qi Liang frowned: "It's not because of this, but because of what?" ”

Liu Xuanchu complained bitterly and spit out a few words with difficulty: "This person who signed 'Chukai' is a lowly scholar - Xiaotun!" ”

"Sir's clerk?" Qi Liang was surprised, and the scene of a small head peeking out of the crack in the door when he visited Liu Xuanchu's mansion that day immediately appeared in his mind.

Qi Liang laughed: "Mr. has a good teaching, and there are talents in the family!" "No wonder this old gentleman acted awkwardly just now, and it was really funny to let a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child be the head of the Zhonghua Newspaper.

Liu Xuanchu bowed: "The son of the world praises it!" ”

"Mr. must be trained well, Xiaotun has a bright future, and he can take on great responsibilities in the future and become a pillar of the country!"

Liu Xuanchu had a smile on his face, probably thinking of the little cutie at home! Xiaotun has followed him since he was a child, is smart and smart, and is deeply loved by him.

"Alright! Mr. Zhonghua Newspaper still has to unload the heavy burden and let Xu Wenzhong, the clerk of Tianshuo Mansion, take responsibility! Qi Liang instructed, "Mr. Explain the relevant matters clearly!" ”

After Liu Xuanchu left, Qi Liang prepared to go out of the city to see the progress of the project in Panlong Valley, where Gui Ming was in charge of stepping up construction, and Gui Ming had not returned to the palace for three days.

When he went out and met Qi Xiyin, Qi Liang's head suddenly became big. Qi Xiyin didn't say a word, just stared at the apricot eyes, and Qi Liang secretly said to himself: "I'm afraid of you!" Knowing that she was here to arrange it again, she said softly: "Sister Qi will come with me!" Turning to Xiao Liuzi and instructing: "Go and inform the chief of the guard!" ”

After the group got on the horse, Qi Liang said: "Zhengcheng leads the way!" Let's go see the so-called haunted house! ”

The haunted house is not a house, but a very large house, formerly called Wen Mansion, located in the east of the city has two acres of land, there are pavilions and pavilions in it, there was a strange fire here, the owner of the house Wen Cunren and his family of six were all burned to death, after the slaves robbed everything, it became an ownerless house. Later, some people living in the streets moved in, but in the middle of the night they could always hear terrible cries, and after that no one dared to stop there.

After Qi Liang returned, in order to settle those recruited people in the rivers and lakes, let Chen Zhengcheng find a suitable place to live in the city, Chen Zhengcheng knew that Tianshuo Mansion was short of funds and chose this haunted house that everyone heard about!

The haunted house is the secret training base of the Tianshuo Mansion special training class, after the last time the Nighthawk Group and the Flying Leopard Group each recruited some qualified team members, Chen Zhengcheng recruited more than 140 new team members, and now there are 220 team members in the special training class, and seven coaches, all of whom are the best performers in the first batch of special training team members. After Huang Qi went north, Chen Zhengcheng temporarily took over the special training class, but the daily management was in charge of a coach named Mo Weijie.

The gate of the dilapidated haunted house has been given a new look, and a sign has been posted at the door, which reads: Wen Mansion has been requisitioned by Tianshuo Mansion, and all visits are refused! If you have a title deed, you can come to negotiate!

The door of the haunted house was open, and it was deep inside, as if no one was there. Stepping into the door, four people with knives flashed out, and when they saw that Chen Zhengcheng was leading the team, they immediately bowed: "I've seen the head of the sect." "There are four people on duty at the gate at a time, three shifts a day, and all the players come in turns, and these are four new recruits.

Chen Zhengcheng said with a solemn face: "I brought the prince to inspect, haven't you seen the prince soon?" ”

The four of them were shocked and knelt on the ground: "Knock on the son!" ”

"Get up!" Qi Liang stretched out his hand, turned around and ordered: "Sister Qi and Zhengcheng follow me in, and the rest of us are waiting at the gate!" ”

Qi Liang instructed Chen Zhengcheng as he walked inside: "The haunted house must formulate a complete set of confidentiality systems, and the special training team members are not allowed to go out until they officially take up their posts; No one is allowed to enter the country unless they are permitted; In the future, the people on duty at the gate will be ordinary guards, and a small team of soldiers can be seconded to Commander Guiming! "Apparently he was not satisfied with the management of the special training class.

Hearing that Shizi was tactfully criticizing, Chen Zhengcheng tightened his heart and nodded solemnly. Qi Xiyin's beautiful eyes floated around, making it so mysterious, it was very fresh.

Further inside, weeds are everywhere, houses are dilapidated, and the traces of the fire are still there. The more Qi Liang looked at it, the more he shook his head: "Zhengcheng!" Why don't you fix it? How do you live like this? ”

Chen Zhengcheng said: "The haunted house has a large area, few team members, and it is very tidy inside, enough for the team members to live!" ”

Qi Liang knew that Chen Zhengcheng was heartbroken with those few dollars, he was both moved and sad, half grateful and half blamed: "No matter how poor Tianshuo Mansion is, there is no shortage of these money, let people repair it!" ”

Chen Zhengcheng hesitated for a moment and agreed. Qi Liangtu thought of something again, and asked curiously: "Is there really a ghost in this Wen Mansion?" "He came to the Hereafter, he was a materialist and did not believe in ghosts at all.

Chen Zhengcheng shuddered and said: "I haven't seen a ghost, but as long as it's windy and rainy, no matter day or night, there will be a terrible cry from the burning pavilion in front of it, and it is particularly eerie and terrifying if it is late at night." ”

Is there such a thing? Qi Liang was aroused by strong curiosity and waved his hand: "Where to go and see!" ”

Chen Zhengcheng hesitated, Qi Liang glanced at the blue and white on the face of his right-hand man, he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and the man who came over with the sword and blood was also afraid of this kind of strange supernatural phenomenon, and secretly disdained: "I am still a martial arts master who has practiced martial arts!" ”

The pavilion is the building where the owner's family of six was burned to death, Qi Liang thought about it, Chen Zhengcheng was unwilling to repair the pavilion, would it be because it was taboo?

"Aren't the players in the special training class afraid?" Qi Liang didn't force himself to go to the pavilion, bypassing the burned pavilion, there was a lawn in front of him, and there was a pool next to it.

Chen Zhengcheng said: "Most of the team members are some people who are brave and bold, and they are not too afraid!" ”

Are you still a little scared when you hear this? Qi Liang said in a deep voice: "Other places can be repaired, the burned pavilion is preserved, let every team member go in for one night, as a psychological test for the team members, if you can't pass this level, you won't be allowed to finish!" ”

Chen Zhengcheng was stunned!
