Early in the morning, when he woke up from the attic, Zhu Dayong came to the courtyard, and after a simple freshening, he went to the newspaper office.

As the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, he has been eating and living in the newspaper office since the founding of Ming Pao, living in the attic where he would hit his head when he stood up.

Just like now, it is nothing more than two fritters and a bowl of porridge, which was brought to him by the handyman in the newspaper office, and as the editor-in-chief, all he needs every day is to review the articles and decide which articles to report in the end.

From its beginning, once a week, to now two issues a week, with the support of the government, the circulation of Ming Pao has rapidly increased to tens of thousands of copies, and even because of this, just last week, the newspaper made a profit for the first time - through advertising, although the profit is only a few silver dollars, it is always a good start.

It was the profit of less than five taels of silver that made Zhu Dayong see the future of the newspaper.

"The key is to have big news!"

When eating fried dough sticks, Zhu Dayong circled those news with a pencil from time to time, what news is the big news?

"The Qing chieftain Fulin'er stayed in a brothel in Jinan and was dyed with flowers and willows......"

Looking at this half-true and half-false news, knowing that this seemingly sworn and conclusive article must have been written by a certain pen official of the Military Orthosis, Zhu Dayong smiled contemptuously and casually put it in the corner of the second edition, which was neither very conspicuous nor easy to be ignored.

Public opinion is the battlefield!

And what is needed on this battlefield?

What is needed is to fight the enemy through some articles, how to fight the enemy?

For example, the cheating affair of the queen mother of the Qing Dynasty is something that the people like to see, for example, the "Secret History of Concubine Zhuang" that is now being serialized in the newspaper is a film that is liked by the people, and the fragrance in it makes Zhu Dayong want to stop repeating it, but if it weren't for the relationship between "The Secret History of Concubine Zhuang" and the military plan of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid he would have stopped publishing it a long time ago.

But he didn't choose, it was a weapon to fight the Qing captives. In China, the so-called "Queen Mother" is just a slut who can be a husband, not only married Dorgon, but also had an affair with traitors such as Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng.

And what makes Zhu Dayong sigh the most is that since the publication of "The Secret History of Concubine Zhuang" in "Ming Pao", sales have surged, after all, for the people, these "hidden news" with a rather fragrant plot are naturally what they like the most.

Of course, for the government office, what was gained was the ridicule and sarcasm of the people against the Qing captives, and of course, by the way, it also convinced the people that it was very common for the Manchus to have such an obscene palace as a barbarian, and this also proved one point by the way - the Manchu barbarians were really not Chinese, no matter what traitors and scum shouted about the "Five Elements Theory", no matter how they said it, they could not change this fact.

Of course, "The Secret History of Concubine Zhuang" is now not only circulating in the south of the Yangtze River, but also in the north, and even in the ruling area of the Qing Dynasty, the people are more willing to spread the "Secret History of Concubine Zhuang", which not only opened the eyes of the people to the fornication of the Qing Palace. Even the chaos caused within the Qing Dynasty itself, "The Secret History of Concubine Zhuang" was not only printed in the newspaper, but also printed into a small booklet, and unlike the obscurity of "taste and stop" in the newspaper, the content of the "Supplement to the Secret History of Concubine Zhuang" compiled and printed into a volume is extremely fragrant, and almost all of the articles have a large number of explicit descriptions on the bed.

And this "Addendum" in addition to the ordinary Manchu people in the inner city of the capital to spread, naturally appeared in front of many Manchu dignitaries and dignitaries, although on the surface they were righteous and strict, repeatedly asked for a thorough investigation, but in private did not prevent them from looking at the booklet with relish, where they studied the contents of the book, and the last one was even more convinced to know why the Empress Dowager Yu Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and other Han people, why trust.

"You don't know, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, their relationship with the Queen Mother, that's "very" good ......"

In addition to their words, they deliberately increased the word "Ting", every time at this time, it was naturally a burst of laughter, and the contempt for the Han people in the bones reached the point where it was difficult to hide, and by the way, the woman who relied on "bed kung fu" to disturb the Hanchen for Emperor Taizong and seek the throne for her son was also contemptuous to the bones.

And "The Secret History of Concubine Zhuang" was not only popular among the Manchu magnates and ordinary banner people, but also appeared at Fulin's table in the end, which only provoked him to be furious, and even killed several people in a row - among them, there was even a character who appeared in it, even if it was just a guard with the same name, but this incident seemed to prove the authenticity of "The Secret History of Concubine Zhuang".

Of course, when Fulin ordered a reward of 10,000 taels to the head of the "Cloud Layman", he naturally didn't know that the so-called "Secret History of Concubine Zhuang" was actually from Zhu Mingzhong's hand, and when compiling that, he fully drew on many TV dramas and historical materials he had seen in later generations, among which the truth was true and false, false and true, I am afraid that in addition to Xiaozhuang himself, it can be used to prove some rumors, after all, even now, such rumors have been circulated in private.

As for what effect this "Secret History of Concubine Zhuang" can achieve, Zhu Mingzhong, who single-handedly planned all this, naturally does not know, but he knows very well that this kind of power will eventually appear, after all, in World War II, the British intelligence agencies used several years to scandalize Hitler through various channels, and during the Cold War, using scandals to scandalize opponent leaders was even more handy for the intelligence agencies of various countries, and now he is just learning from it.

It's just that Zhu Dayong, as the executor, is always a little resistant to the publication of those fragrant anecdotes in newspapers like "Ming Pao".

"Perhaps, we should set up another newspaper to publish such articles, and when the time comes, maybe these articles can be more glamorous!"

Although he muttered so softly, Zhu Dayong had to admit that the people preferred such fragrant anecdotes, and publishing such articles would help the circulation of newspapers.

However, Ming is always the mouthpiece of Jiangbei, and the newspapers can't be full of "secret history" and "glamorous history". Many people read the newspaper to read the news after all, as for those, it is just the seasoning in the main course, and the main dish is still news.

From time to time, I make choices in the article, choose the news of the past few days, which one do I choose as the headline of this issue?

In the end, among the many press releases, he chose one that seemed to be quite compelling. Then another piece of news was placed below this one, and unlike other news, this one, which was only a hundred words, had a special mark, which was the news sent from the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

Looking at the content on the news, Zhu Daxian couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

"Hey, it's a pity, if you change the time, you can also become a generation of celebrities, how can the hearts of the people ......"

In the prison, there is always a strong stench, this smell is only unbearable, but what is even more unbearable is the sense of loss that falls from the sky to the ground, and the deepest feeling of this loss is probably Zheng Xiaru himself, no matter what, he never thought that he would be imprisoned because of such a trivial matter, and even about to usher in trial.

"Alas......"

Again, Zheng Xiaru, who was wearing a plain prison uniform, sighed and looked out through the small window, his expression looked a little sluggish, and even a little lost.

How so?

Even now, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, after all, he had made so much silver for Jing Liu, but why did he end up like this?

"Did I miscalculate?"

Zheng Xia was talking to himself, no matter what, he couldn't figure out what he was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

"Haven't figured it out yet?"

Suddenly, the words from behind him made Zheng Xiaru's whole body tremble, he was looking out of the window through the small window, he hurriedly turned around, and when he saw the person who came, the knee joints of his legs were involuntarily weak, and he almost didn't kneel, that is, when he was about to kneel, he thought that the person in front of him didn't like others to kneel.

He does not like to kneel, and he does not like people to kneel to him.

"Scripture, Scripture and Strategy......"

When he squeaked, Zheng Xiaru saw the food box in Jing Liu's hand, and when he looked at the food box, his mind suddenly sank, and there was no longer the slightest surprise.

Especially when he saw Jing slightly expressionless opening the food box and looking at the wine and food in it, his heart suddenly slammed into it, and the whole person suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy, and almost fainted.

A plate of roast chicken, a plate of scrambled eggs, a pot of meat plus a fish, and a pot of wine, chicken, fish, meat and eggs, can be described as extremely rich, according to Zheng Xiaru's understanding, Jinglu's daily meals are not necessarily so rich, and now, in the face of this sumptuous dish, he only feels a little unable to breathe, as if someone is stepping on his chest.

"Jingluo, the lower official is wrong!"

Suddenly, as he said this, his shoulders sank, and there was a kind of despair in his tone, and the sumptuous dish could not have been clearer.

This is the guillotine meal!

"Know it's wrong?"

Sitting in prison, Zhu Mingzhong poured a glass of wine for Zheng Xiaru without raising his head.

"Got it!"

Now Zheng Xia really knows and knows what he is wrong.

"Hmm!"

Nodding, Zhu Mingzhong stretched out his hand and pointed to the wine glass and said.

"Drink, eat!"

Even if he no longer has an appetite, Zheng Xiaru has to eat it, not for anything else, just because this wine and food were brought by Jing Liu himself, although he knows what this wine and food means, which means the result of the trial.

"It's good to know that it's wrong, it's wrong......"

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhu Mingzhong shook his head and sighed, and then poured another glass of wine.

"Shijie, this glass of wine, Zhu respects you, if it wasn't for you, how could Zhu go down Jiangbei lightly......"
