In the early morning, the morning breeze of late autumn blows away the quiet streets of Pingzhou.

The Fuji cloth shop also opened the store, and the shopkeeper Qian Ziang commanded the cloth shop men to open the door.

Immediately, a group of ten men also walked out of Fujifu, each holding a stack of newspapers in their hands, and scattered to different places in Pingzhou City.

These ten men are the guys hired by the 'Ming Society' to walk the streets and alleys to sell newspapers.

Zhang Xiang had received Yang Li's feedback yesterday, Yang Li said that when those readers received these newspapers, they also felt fresh and interesting when they saw the gossip recorded on them, and Yang Li also said that some readers said that they would order the newspapers of the 'Ming Society' in the future.

Although the prefect Zheng Wei did not respond to Zhang Xiang, Zheng Wei had already met Zhao Hanyan, and he said that this kind of news spread was the first time, and the government did not explicitly prohibit it, so it was feasible, as long as it did not involve rumors and falsehoods, it was no big deal.

After all, it is the business that the Horse Mansion wants to do, and Zheng Wei, the prefect, is very concerned about this matter, and even secretly asks some government personnel to watch the news spread in the market every day.

It is said that you must know the affairs of the people in order to be a good parent official.

This kind of news spread in the market is a guiding light for the government, and in the future, there is no need to worry about someone spreading false news and confusing the government's attention.

With this way of newspaper dissemination, the government can also know what is happening in Pingzhou at the first time.

After receiving the feedback from these readers and government personnel, Zhang Xiang knew that this first step was a success, and the newspaper could be sold with confidence.

So today, he asked Qian Ziang to start spreading the "Ming She" newspaper.

It takes time to popularize such a journalistic method, and he is not in a hurry, after all, it is a new thing that people have to slowly accept and get used to.

When they get used to it, they rely on this kind of news, and they don't have to worry about making money.

The most important thing at the moment is to build up the market first.

At noon, Zhang Xiang and the little slave had dinner together in the east room.

This girl is now with Zhang Xiang, and the identity of the master-servant relationship makes Zhang Xiang fade away, except for the identity of still maintaining a good master-servant relationship when she goes out, she is actually very casual at home, just like her relatives.

Zhao Hanyan also treats her as her own sister, so the basic meals are all together.

Of course, among the many subordinates, only the little slave has such treatment.

"Horse, when the man in the dining room went out to buy vegetables today, he brought back a newspaper of the kind you mentioned, and the slave and maid took a look at it when she went to tell the people to cook, and the news recorded on it was very detailed! In the past, you had to go out to hear someone talk about these news, but now you don't have to go out to know it, which is really very convenient! ”

The little slave said happily to Zhang Xiang on the side.

In the past, when she encountered new things outside every day, she would share them with Zhang Xiang and Zhao Hanyan, when Zhang Xiang first came here, he basically didn't go out much, and most of the things that happened outside were also learned through the mouth of the little slave.

Today's little slave is no exception, and he feels that this way of spreading the news is very convenient and novel, so he shares it with him.

Her personality belongs to the kind of cheerful and lively, as long as there are people, she will never stop talking, and she always has to find something to say, in the palace before, she was limited by the rules, and she could still restrain herself.

But when she followed Zhao Hanyan out of the palace, she let herself go.

Zhao Hanyan is also willing to listen to her endlessly, after all, a princess like Zhao Hanyan, who grew up in the palace, is used to being lonely, and people like Xiaonu are the most pleasing to her, which is why she keeps Xiaonu by her side.

With Zhang Xiang, the little slave will also chatter endlessly, Zhang Xiang naturally does not get tired of it, and listens quietly on the side, if this girl is placed in modern times, it is the kind of group pet level, born in this era to be a maid, it is really difficult for her.

After listening to what she said about the interesting news she saw, Zhang Xiangwan said: "Now this kind of newspaper has just spread in Pingzhou City, so what you can see now is only limited to Pingzhou City, if it spreads widely in the future, involving other state capitals, the entire Southern Chu, and even Northern Liao, Dongyan and other countries, you can know some of the things that happen in these places without going out of the house." ”

The little slave only went to the 'Ming Society' with Zhang Xiang once at the beginning, and at that time she had not yet started to print newspapers, and she did not receive much education, and she only knew some words, which was later learned with Zhao Hanyan and Zhao Hanyan, after all, girls in this era, ordinary families do not have the conditions to go to the school to read and write.

Therefore, she does not understand these 'concepts' disseminated by the 'newspaper' at all, and only those who have received higher education like Zhao Hanyan can accept and understand them faster.

"Really?" The little slave's eyes suddenly lit up, and he yearned for it with some anticipation.

Zhang Xiang nodded lightly: "Of course it's true." ”

"That's... The little girl muttered ...... moment, then thought for a moment, and then said, "That... Can the slave also know about Yingzhou? ”

"Of course you do." Zhang Xiang smiled slightly, Yingzhou is the hometown of the little slave, he knows that this little girl is homesick, although her parents have died on the way to escape the famine, but the homesickness for her hometown is deep in her heart.

Zhang Xiang looked at her and suddenly said, "Little slave, when I'm free, I'll take you back to Yingzhou to have a look!" ”

"Really?" The little slave suddenly became excited.

Zhang Xiang nodded heavily: "Really, do you remember where your parents' graves are buried?" ”

The little slave also nodded hurriedly: "Remember, remember, on the official road from Yingzhou to Xuanzhou, I will never forget that it was the slave and the maid who were buried with the villagers." ”

"If you can still find your parents' graves, I will help you move them to Yingzhou for burial." Zhang Xiang snorted slowly.

"Puff"

Suddenly, the little slave knelt down to him without warning, and tears instantly swirled in his eyes: "If the slave can help the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid will repay the kindness of the slave and the horse in this life, the slave and the maid have long wanted to let their parents go home, but the slave and the maid are not capable, and they have left Yingzhou for so many years, and every time they think of their parents dying in a foreign land and being buried in an unknown wilderness, the slave and the maid are sad." ”

Zhang Xiang was also taken aback by her actions, and hurriedly helped her up: "What are you doing here?" Hurry up, it's just a small thing, you've been serving the princess for so many years, I just came here... No, when I first woke up, you have been taking care of me, and it is also appropriate to help you do your filial piety, and the princess should also agree, besides, this thing has not been done yet, and when it is done, it is not too late for you to thank you. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you..." The little slave was helped up by him, and kept bowing and thanking, you can imagine how much impact Zhang Xiang promised her on her.

At this moment, someone outside the door came to report, saying that there was a person named Chen Qi who asked to see him.

After Zhang Xiang heard this, he said to the little slave: "Okay, I'm going out to run errands, you have a good meal, the princess is not going to find the prefect's wife to learn embroidery in a while, you have to accompany her!" ”

After pacifying the little slave, Zhang Xiang left with his subordinates, looking at the back of Zhang Xiang leaving, the little slave stuffed a piece of snack into his mouth, and then burst into tears.

After arriving at the middle hall, Zhang Xiang met Chen Qi.

Chen Qi, known as Chen One-eyed, is blind in one eye, and the other is indeed bright.

He is a famous bag in Pingzhou City, and he still has some martial arts, and he used to be a Jianghu person, and it is said that the blind eye is blind by an arrow when he has a feud with someone, and in the past, he sold news to some Jianghu people to live.

After being recruited by Zhang Xiang to the 'Ming Society', Zhang Xiang saw that he had a flexible mind and good martial arts, so he asked Steward Qian to hand over some important news to him to follow up, and the group of people who lived in Mrs. Kang's house were followed by him.

A few days ago, after knowing from Du Boguang that the group of people might be from Donghuzhuang, he went to Mingshe the next day and got the same news from Chen Qi, and now he was finally confirmed, so he asked Chen Qi to continue to follow, he wanted to know what kind of dealings this group of former Chu Yuxian from Donghuzhuang would have with a loyal family like the Kang family.

After letting everyone quit, Zhang Xiang closed the door.

"Colt." Chen Qi saluted Zhang Xiang respectfully.

"What's the news?" Zhang Xiang got straight to the point.

Chen Qi said: "Two people came out of Qingguang Academy this morning, they were Wei Lie's two disciples, they went to Kangfu, and then the little prince of Kangfu personally greeted them, and then drove them away. ”

"Where did they go? What was said? Zhang Xiang frowned and hurriedly asked.

Chen Qi shook his head: "I don't know, Wei Lie's two disciples are strong in martial arts, I don't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered, I only saw their carriage going north." ”

"To the north?" Zhang Xiang shook his head with a headache, he didn't hear anything, he didn't know anything, and he was also confused!

He thought about it for a while, and he could understand that the group of masters in Donghu Village, if someone like Chen Qi was discovered, it would definitely be a fate, and it seemed that if he wanted to figure out this matter, he had to find a master.

He said to Chen Qi: "Okay, don't inquire about this matter, I know it in my heart, you help me to find out another matter, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you know the foresters who caught fire in the west of the city!" It's not that he has moved to the old house outside the city to live, you can help me go outside the city to see where he lives, and besides, didn't he also find some spies to secretly investigate the fire incident in his house! See if you can find out if you can find these spies he is looking for, and when the time comes, let me know. ”

Chen Qi hurriedly nodded his head... (I'm back, everyone has been waiting for a long time~!) ）
