Chapter 180: The Mansion of the Newspaper Goes Bankrupt......
"Prince Wang, please speak directly."
"First of all, I'm sorry, after you saved me last time, I sent someone to secretly check on you. I know that you are the daughter of Yangzhou Mansion Yin, you have no relatives and no reason in the capital, only three or two friends, and I also know that you usually like to come to this chicken shop to eat roast chicken, so I just found it here today. Wang Yiyao looked at her and said, "It only took you half a year to get into the mix, and you have a good relationship with the royal family, and even now you are the county lord of Your Majesty's own title......"
An Ge smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "Wang Gongzi is serious, I think no one in the entire capital should treat me as the real county lord, I have no title, and I have no canonization ceremony, if I really take myself as the county lord, it will be a joke." ”
"Miss Ann really understands her life, no wonder the article is so well written." Wang Yiyao looked at An Ge's gaze with a little more appreciation, "I don't know what you are working for, if it's just for money, I want you to work under me, I also want to run a newspaper, and I can give you a hundred times the money in the newspaper." ”
An Ge looked at him quietly, few people in Beijing knew about the fact that he was still the director of the "Beijing Daily", and obviously he didn't find out, so he said so.
She shook her head: "Thank you for your appreciation, but don't worry, I can tell you openly and honestly that I don't just work for money." ”
Wang Yiyao was stunned: "Then what are you for?" ”
An Ge didn't feel familiar enough with him to talk about this, so he smiled and said, "It's my private matter." ”
"Okay, but I really think you're too condescending in the Dibao Mansion, and if you join me, you will definitely be able to show your strength." Wang Yiyao sighed in disappointment, and suddenly said, "Then can you serve on both sides at the same time?" Those articles in the Di Bao Mansion should not be difficult for you, and you don't need to spend too much energy, you can completely withdraw to me. ”
An Ge shook his head again: "I really don't need to." I don't have that much ability, so I can't keep myself busy. ”
Wang Yiyao stared at her for a long time, and finally sighed faintly, and said, "I'm not in a hurry to reply, you can think about it." I have been in the capital for so many years, and all the printing workshops and bookstores in the capital are basically related to me, and the last time the gangster kidnapped me, it was also for this reason. Although "Huangliang Yibao" was wanted by the gangsters, the articles in it were all my painstaking efforts...... In short, if you think about it carefully, cooperating with me to make a Di newspaper will definitely not be as few as one or two thousand copies per volume like the Harem Newspaper. ”
An Ge was still unmoved, got up and said, "I still have something to do, I have to go first." By the way, next time Wang Gongzi goes to a book club, you have to hire a few thugs to protect you, so as not to be caught by gangsters again. ”
"Okay......" Wang Yiyao's expression darkened when he saw this, but he didn't continue to stalk.
"Master, you're back."
As soon as Wang Yiyao got off the carriage, the guards guarding the door of the house came up and led the horse for him.
Wang Yiyao didn't speak, turned over and dismounted, and walked directly into the house.
This house is located in the west of the city, from the ordinary looking vermilion lacquer gate to enter, go inside, only to find that the layout of the house is magnificent and magnificent, bluestone paved path extends directly from a small pond to the back. There is a pool in the house, which in the eyes of feng shui masters is to gather wealth, and most businessmen have it in their homes.
The maids who came and went were also brightly dressed, with exquisite makeup and good appearance, and these maids were also the most expensive ones on the market, which showed how rich the owner of the house was.
Wang Yiyao hurriedly walked to the inner hall and instructed the maidservant: "Go and call Jiuxiao over." ”
"Yes."
The servant girl was ordered to go down, and after a while she was dressed in white
The man came in in a hurry, and the man was about thirty years old, with a strong body and resolute features, and he looked very reliable.
As soon as he came in, he said to Wang Yiyao: "Childe's face is not very good, it seems that he has not negotiated with Miss An today?" ”
"What else am I going to do with you?" Wang Yiyao rolled his eyes and said, "That An Ge was completely unmoved by money, and she refused very decisively, and I had no chance of convincing her." ”
"There are few people in the world who are not wealthy, unless they are from a wealthy family, and there is no shortage from childhood to adulthood. But Miss An, who was born in a small family, is obviously not this kind of person. Ling Jiuxiao said with a smile.
Wang Yiyao glanced at him: "Then you say, why did she reject me?" ”
"Childe, don't panic, yesterday my subordinates drank with Lord Zhao of the Ministry of Officials, and I happened to hear something related to Miss An. Does Childe know who is behind the scenes of "Beijing News"? ”
Wang Yiyao was puzzled, looked at him and said, "Naturally, I know that nominally the queen, but in fact Jinglan." ”
Ling Jiuxiao shook his head: "Actually, the queen just put up a name, and Jing Lan just shook her hands and was in charge, but she just gave the "Beijing Daily" a convenience to use the factory, and the behind-the-scenes director of the "Beijing Daily" is An Ge." ”
Wang Yiyao was surprised: "What? Is it her? ”
Ling Jiuxiao nodded: "Few people in Beijing know about this. "Beijing Daily" is the most respected newspaper today, and the money it makes is bound to be not a small amount, so Miss An naturally doesn't look down on the little money promised by her son. ”
"Heh, this woman is really more capable than I thought." Wang Yiyao nodded coldly, no wonder An Ge refused so decisively.
He was silent for a moment, and said to Ling Jiuxiao: "You go and ask Lord Zhao to draft a plan to impeach Jinglan, just say that he abused his power and used the business factory for his own personal gain." ”
Ling Jiuxiao was stunned and said, "Wouldn't it be too far-fetched to impeach Jinglan for this reason?" Jing Lan is not easy to mess with, Lord Zhao is an important relationship between us and China, and it is really risky to do so. ”
Wang Yiyao lowered his eyes and pondered, and after a while, he said to Ling Jiuxiao: "Go to Qin Tianjian to find Master Wu, and ask him to think of a reason to let all the people in the scripture factory print the scriptures by hand." It is the duty of the Jingchang to print the scriptures, and it is indeed an abuse of power for Jinglan to ask the Jingchang to publish the newspaper for him, and impeachment is not necessary, but it is not wrong to join him. ”
Ling Jiuxiao thought for a moment and said: "If it succeeds, the factory will ask all the people to print the scriptures, and no one will print the "Beijing News" for Miss An, and Miss An will not be able to find a suitable folk workshop for a while, so she will definitely come back to find her son." But...... Miss Ruo'an knows that Childe is planning all this behind her back, can you still cooperate well? ”
Wang Yiyao hooked the corners of his mouth: "Jinglan can never get tired of deceit, I do business, what is a small plan?" The little girl of Ange can fight alone in the capital to the point where she is today, and she is naturally not a good stubble, and she may be the first to do things. ”
Moreover, Jing Lan pretended to be high, or he basically did not interact with courtiers in order to prevent the emperor from having a grudge. And his relationship between the DPRK and China has been maintained for many years, even if Jinglan has heavy troops, it is not difficult for him to come forward to put Jinglan together.
Wang Yiyao said with a smile: "Maybe An Ge will find out in the future that I am the same kind of person as her." ”
Ling Jiuxiao knew that it would be useless for him to say anything more, and he would insist on what he saw, so he nodded and hurriedly went to Qin Tianjian.
In fact, people outside only know that Mr. Xi Guo is a hot master in Beijing, but few people know that he still has a lot of industries in his hands, and he is also one of the top businessmen in the capital. Once he has money, even a person like him who has no family background can break into officialdom and ask those officials to sell his face.
Ling Jiuxiao, as his first adviser, communicated with the courtiers
This is usually done by him.
That night, Lord Wu of Qin Tianjian entered the palace and told the emperor that there was little snow in the capital this year, and he was afraid that the harvest of the farmers would not be good in the coming year, so he would print various scriptures and send them to the temple to pray for the blessing of Dali and pray for good weather.
When the emperor's letter was this, Yin Mu was no exception, he naturally agreed, and on the second day, everyone in the factory went to print all kinds of scriptures, and the "Harem Mansion" and "Beijing Daily" were put aside.
After the people in the palace learned of this, Liu Yongxu immediately went to the palace to find the queen. He didn't come back until the evening, and said to everyone in the palace with a heavy face: "The queen mother said that everything should be the most important thing about state affairs, and our harem newspaper will be suspended for two or three months." ”
An Ge twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to print so many scriptures?" There aren't that many temples in Kyochu. ”
Liu Yongxu said helplessly: "It is said that it is the meaning of Qin Tianjian, this belongs to the previous dynasty, and the queen has no choice." That's it, it's just a matter of taking three months' less, so you can go back and rest well, recuperate, and when the scriptures are finished, we'll come back." ”
After he said that, he glanced at Zhang Luo'er meaningfully, and then said to everyone: "If any of you is in difficulty at hand, tell me in private, I will give you my own silver." ”
Everyone didn't speak, and An Ge's face was even more heavy.
It doesn't matter if the harem newspaper is stopped for three months, but the "Beijing Daily" is now in full swing in Tianjin Wei and other places, and Jing Yu has come back to mention that it has been reprinted several times, giving up such a big business opportunity, and it is worrying to think about it.
And now there are so many newspapers in the capital, if it really stops for three months, there will be a rising star later, who in the capital will remember the harem newspaper and the "Beijing Daily" after three months?
An Ge glanced at Liu Yongxu and proposed, "Can we go to find a folk workshop?" In fact, it doesn't have to be a factory to print for us. ”
Liu Yongxu shook his head and said: "It can be, but the queen mother has asked us to stop it, so don't bother with that thought and energy." When the time comes, lest some people still think that we are printed in the factory, saying that the queen mother only knows these little things regardless of the fortunes of the country, it will not be good. ”
"Okay...... compared to Da Li's national fortune, Di Bao or something is really a small thing.
An Ge replied disappointedly, lowered his head and stopped talking.
After Liu Yongxu finished speaking, he went back to his study, and the side hall was silent, and the expressions on everyone's faces were not very good. To be honest, except for Yu Yuanyuan, none of the others here are from rich and noble families, and they value this money very much. And even if Yu Yuanyuan is rich, it is uncomfortable to hear that Di Bao is going to be suspended, after all, she has spent nearly three years on this errand.
After being quiet for a long time, Liang Zifeng began to pack up his things.
An Ge heard the movement, looked up at him and said, "Lord Liang, are you going to go home here?" ”
Liang Zifeng said helplessly: "If I don't go home, I'll go out to find out if there is a shortage of people in other places to write, I still have children to support, and if I don't take money for three months, I will have to wronged my children." ”
An Ge saw him get up, and he also stood up and said to him: "What if you want to think of a way again?" ”
Liang Zifeng sighed, put on his back the blanket with some pen and ink and said, "What Lord Liu said is very clear that this is the meaning of the queen's mother, let's not come out to offend the queen's mother." Ladies and gentlemen, see you in three months. ”
With that, he walked out.
An Ge wanted to catch up and persuade Liang Zifeng, but before he could take a step, he heard Zhang Luo'er say sourly in a voice that was neither light nor heavy: "You are naturally not in a hurry, even if the Di Bao Mansion does not issue a salary for three months, your "Beijing Daily" will not be able to do it, don't you still have a man to support you?" ”
