No one doubts the authenticity of Zhang You's words, how long has he been in Beijing, and he has become a hereditary brocade guard from a penniless little man.

Yu Youde shivered and couldn't help but mourn for the unlucky Sun Zheng.

Qian Ougua took the order and left, while Zhang You walked in the car, talking to Alfred and walking forward, and had arrived at the entrance of the lamp market, not far from the small courtyard he had newly bought.

Gu Xiancheng had the heart to follow, but he couldn't wipe off his face, so he said goodbye loudly, Zhang You stopped when he heard this, looked back and said: "Master Gu, don't be busy walking, I'm looking for you, if it's okay, just accompany me...... Lao Yu, you go and get busy with you, when you have time, the official invites you to have a drink! ”

Yu Youde was pleasantly surprised, nodded like garlic, and led his subordinates to bow and retreat. As soon as they left, the people who watched the excitement gradually dispersed, Gu Xiancheng took two steps and said with a smile: "I don't know what the adults are looking for?" By the way, the lord was promoted, and the lower officials forgot to congratulate you. ”

"Dip into Concubine Ning's light, don't mention it!" After the emperor has a family, the whole world celebrates, although Wang Rong has not yet officially registered as a concubine, but the news has already appeared in the palace newspaper, Gu Xiancheng is the head of the household department, it is impossible not to know.

Zhang You said casually, and said as he walked forward: "I want to ask you something, I want to start a newspaper, but there is no one available, you are famous, and you are quite prestigious among scholars, I don't know if you can give in, come and help me?" ”

"Newspapers? Beijing newspaper like that? ”

Zhang You nodded: "Exactly, however, most of the content published in the Beijing Daily is a copy of Di Bao, which has little to do with ordinary people...... This matter has been agreed by His Majesty, and my father-in-law and Minister Feng Gong are also aware of it, but since Di Bao is in the hands of the General Administration Department and the Sixth Branch, and the Beijing Daily has a constant relationship with the high-level of these two departments, they both advised me not to meddle in this industry......"

"The worries of the two fathers-in-law are not unreasonable," Gu Xiancheng was very envious of the relationship between Zhang You and Li Wenjin and Feng Bao, but on the surface, he didn't show it at all, and after interrupting Zhang You, he groaned a little and said: "Forgive the official for saying something inappropriate, the adults are not on the right path of the imperial examination, and in the civil and official system, in fact, the reputation is not very good." For the guidance of public opinion, the civil system has always attached great importance to it, and the lower officials do not know what purpose the adults are involved in this industry, but even if you don't want to compete with them for the right to guide public opinion, they may not be willing to believe it, so conflicts are inevitable. ”

"Who says I don't fight with them? I'm not afraid to tell you that the reason why the newspaper was opened was to compete with them for the right to guide public opinion. The princes and generals would rather have a kind of relationship, why should they have the final say in the direction of public opinion? Zhang You said proudly, not hiding his thoughts at all.

Gu Xiancheng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood one thing, it was not Zhang You who wanted to compete for the right to guide public opinion at all, what he really wanted to fight for should be the emperor.

This is a great opportunity to show your heart, and if you refuse, wouldn't it be stupid*?

Thinking so, he didn't rush to agree, but said: "What the Lord said is right, but the current general envoy Lord Min is the junior disciple of Lord Haigangfeng, and he is known for his uprightness, and most of the officials of the Department and Taoism are ...... with their horse heads."

"You're talking about Min Tingjia, right?" Zhang You interrupted Gu Xiancheng with a sneer: "It's just a rotten Confucian, don't talk about him, even if Hai Rui comes in person, I'm not afraid!" ”

Gu Xiancheng was quite unimpressed by this, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he nodded and said: "Since the adults are fearless, the lower officials will naturally take the lead of the adults." It's just the same, I'm afraid that the lower officials are shallow and poor, and they won't be able to help the adults. ”

"Your ability to come is the greatest help to me, so let's make you the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and then, Zhang Ruoxuan and Shen Wan'er will be the deputy editors-in-chief...... The new newspaper has a new atmosphere, and the gimmick of the beautiful editor-in-chief is good, it must be eye-catching. ”

"This ......" Gu Xiancheng was speechless, and suddenly began to regret it, he shouldn't have agreed so happily, even if Zhang Ruoxuan and Shen Wan'er are quite famous, but let the two girls be the deputy editor-in-chief, I really don't know what this adult thinks in his head. Wait, as soon as the news is released, it will definitely cause an uproar, and if I let those colleagues know that I am the editor-in-chief, I am afraid that I will laugh off their big teeth, right?

In addition, the editor-in-chief in the mouth of Lord Xiao Zhang is probably the meaning of the editor-in-chief, right?

Zhang You, who successfully recruited Gu Xiancheng, was very happy, this is the leader of the Donglin Party, who is famous in history, and he never dreamed that he would work for him.

It's a pity that he doesn't know how to understand him, otherwise, if he knows Gu Xiancheng's slander, he will probably be even happier - just to be different, Lao Tzu is a cultural person from later generations, how can he be the same as that Beijing News. Lao Tzu not only wants Ruoxuan and Wan'er to be the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper, but also holds back a big treasure, wait, we will soon become celebrities.

Zhang You is not what it used to be, 20,000 taels of silver entered the courtyard without hesitation and bought it, after entering, when he heard about the price, Gu Xiancheng couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, and he slandered in his heart, my family is also solid, and I still live in a rented house in the capital. I can't help but have some expectations: I don't know if he is generous or not, and if he can solve the housing problem with him, it will not be a loss.

It is not easy to live in Beijing, and the problem of housing has been a big problem since ancient times, and it does not differ because of different eras.

There are more Beijing officials at Gu Xiancheng's level, there is no fire consumption of local officials, and there is no filial piety of senior officials from the bottom, they all rely on a meager fortune to get by, let alone buy a house, and the family is poor, it is really a meal without a meal, which is worse than an ordinary person.

There is no way, Taizu is too harsh on these officials, and he does not allow them to be corrupt, and he does not pay them more salaries, and now corruption is commonplace, which can be said to have a direct relationship with him.

Far away, Zhang You led everyone around, this house typesetting, this house printing, this house editor-in-chief's room, this house deputy editor-in-chief...... Gu Xiancheng has already entered the role, and he followed his ass * and memorized it carefully, for fear of mistakes and omissions.

"Old Gu," since Gu Xiancheng has now become Zhang You's horse boy, he naturally changed his name to Gu Xiancheng: "You don't have to worry about printing equipment, workers and the like, I will give you a task, these days, you take the time to find a few young people who are well-versed in literature and ink, it is best not to be too old-fashioned, have a flexible brain, and can write articles...... Attention, the article I'm talking about is not an eight-strand article, that thing is stereotypical and boring, not to mention the common people, and readers may not want to read it. ”

Gu Xiancheng understood what Zhang You meant, nodded and agreed.

"That's it, I'll go find Zhang Ruoxuan and Shen Wan'er, just to let them be deputy editors-in-chief, but I haven't told them in person." Zhang You said goodbye to Gu Xiancheng, and said to Alfred in English: "Don't you say that your sister is beautiful?" Let's go, take you to meet the Chinese beauties! ”
