After thinking for a while, Yang Jingchen looked at Gong Dinghe and said: "It hasn't been long since the imperial court rewarded Uncle Zhang Guo, even if they row copper blocks overnight, they won't print much, we just send money to buy all the newspapers, and at least don't let these "Daming Daily" flow out of the capital!" ”

Gong Dinghe nodded: "You're right, at present, it shouldn't cost much silver." ”

Yang Jingchen, Gong Ding, and these bureaucrats and doctors were not bad for money, because they were not only local big landlords, but also wealthy businessmen.

After all, as the big bureaucrats in the court, in this late Ming Dynasty society where it was impossible to succeed in business without the combination of government and business, they not only annexed land, but also annexed a large number of industries.

Therefore, buying all the "Daming Daily" currently appearing in the capital is indeed not a lot of money for them.

It didn't take long for businessmen in the capital to specialize in buying "Daming Daily", and they were purchased at a high price.

After reading the contents of the newspaper, the people were happy to resell the newspaper they bought for money.

Therefore, for a time, these businessmen who were instructed by civil officials such as Yang Jingchen and others to buy newspapers also bought a lot of "Daming Daily"

"Master Hou, there are businessmen who are buying our newspapers in large quantities at high prices."

Zhou Neng also explained the matter to Zhang Gui because of this.

After hearing this, Zhang Gui said: "Let them buy, we add a lot of printing here, Ben Hou wants to see, behind this people who don't want the people of the world to read the newspaper and listen to the newspaper, how rich and rich they are!" Perhaps this will also teach them a long lesson, and let them know how hard they can be dealt by the tricks they despise! ”

"In that case, let them buy it?"

"Let them buy it!"

As a result, a large number of "Daming Daily" still appeared in the market, and even many began to be loaded in batches and transported to other places through the canal, and some were loaded on mule carts and transported out of the customs.

And some bureaucrats and doctors who are unwilling to let the "Daming Daily" appear in large numbers on the market are still asking their businessmen to buy these newspapers.

But soon, they found that they couldn't keep up with the speed of the Daming Daily.

"Sir! I really can't take it anymore! ”

"The money we have stored in several money houses in the capital is almost gone!"

But even so, the first day I almost finished buying the "Daming Daily" in the capital, and the next day a large number of "Daming Daily" appeared, and it was still published about the merits related to the West Factory. They print so fast that we can't buy them all. ”

Businessman Liu Dong complained about his master Yang Jingchen at this time.

Yang Jingchen was also very depressed at this time, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that this West Factory is determined to promote itself, the key is how they printed it so quickly?!" ”

"That's right! If this continues, it will be useless for the "Di Bao" of my general political department to publish the arrest of Nurhachi and Li Yongfang by the Xichang Factory. ”

Gong Dinghe said helplessly.

And Yang Jingchen suddenly thought of another idea, and said: "Since they want to try their best to promote themselves, then we will also run a newspaper, print a large number of newspapers with the pickling of his Xichang factory, and also distribute it according to his "Daming Daily". ”

"Then you have to think about what the West Factory has done."

Gong Dinghe said again: "You can't make it up!" Otherwise, if Uncle Zhang Guo sues His Majesty, we will not be able to eat and walk around, and we will say that we are slandering and biting indiscriminately. ”

Yang Jingchen nodded: "Then think seriously about what evil the West Factory has done?" ”

Gong Dinghe thought for a while and said: "I really can't think of it, this West Factory has always been cracking down on smuggling and recovering levies, and these Your Majesty and the people will not think it is a pickled matter!" ”

"If you can't think of the West Factory, you want the East Factory! We only mention the black material of the factory guard, such as Tian Ergeng of Dongchang, who framed some wealthy businessmen as thieves and extorted their silver. ”

Yang Jingchen said.

Gong Dinghe nodded: "Then only mention the factory guard, not whether it is the east factory or the west factory." ”

Yang Jingchen looked at Liu Dong as he spoke: "You immediately go and find more craftsmen who can print copper characters, we want to run a newspaper here, so we don't need to recruit people now." ”

"Yes!"

Liu Dong agreed.

It didn't take long for no businessmen to buy Daming Daily at a large number of high prices.

It's just that there is suddenly another kind of newspaper on the market, which is the "Hanlin Daily" issued by the Hanlin Academy, which contains a large number of illegal contents of the factory guard, such as extorting vendors, eating and taking cards, etc.

Moreover, the "Hanlin Daily" also learned from the "Daming Daily" to buy some children and beggars to sell newspapers, and to buy some poor scholars to read newspapers to the people.

In short, stimulated by the "Daming Daily", the high-ranking bureaucrats and doctors also began to contact the people at the bottom for the first time, trying to influence them and achieve their own goals.

After Zhang Gui saw this "Hanlin Daily", he only called Zhou Neng, who was in charge of the internal security supervision of the West Factory: "Did we really do so many evil things in the West Factory? ”

Saying that, Zhang Gui said: "You take a look first, take a look first and then answer me." ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Neng looked at "Hanlin Daily".

After reading it, Zhou Neng replied: "Master Hou, these are not made by our West Factory!" These are all done by the East Factory and the North Town Fu Division, and if anyone under our West Factory has committed something, the humble duty has been told to you first, and there is no humble duty to tell you. The reason is that at that time, you had already given instructions in time, and we had already solved these things ourselves, and everything could not be spread, and they would not be able to know. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Gui said: "Then these people are really despicable!" Obviously, it was done by the East Factory and the North Town Fusi, not by the factory guard, but also directly criticized the factory guard, as if all the factory guards are not good things, obviously secretly planning to make my West Factory also stink! ”

"Master Hou, what should we do now?"

Zhou Neng asked.

"Let our "Daming Daily" report more about all the pickled things related to bureaucrats and doctors collected by our West Factory in the process of cracking down on smuggling and recovering levies, and publish more than expected, such as climbing ashes, raising little uncles, and promiscuity in Buddhist temples, so as not to save face!"

"In addition, continue to expand the printing volume of "Daming Daily", anyway, we have a new printing technology, it is easy to expand the printing volume, and in addition, the quotation will be lowered, and the profit will be small but the sales will be reduced!"

After Zhang Gui instructed, he said: "They think that by secretly rubbing the sins of the East Factory, the people of the West Factory can achieve the purpose of discrediting my West Factory?" It's so beautiful! ”

"As everyone knows, my West Factory has long been preparing to let his bureaucrats and doctors do all the things they do to be exposed to the sun, so that the people of the world know how noble the scholars they admire."

"Yes!"

When Zhang Gui made this arrangement, Tianqi also saw a copy of "Hanlin Daily" from the recital played by a speech official, and knew many ugly things done by factory guards.

And because of this, the apocalypse called Zhang Gui and Wei Zhongxian.

As soon as the two came, Tianqi took out the "Hanlin Daily" and asked the two: "Did the West Factory and the East Factory really do so many things that harm the people?" ”

Wei Zhongxian, because his main energy is in the palace, he is not very clear about the affairs outside the palace, so he instinctively speaks for himself Dongchang: "Back to the emperor, the people of the slave and maid Dongchang have always been law-abiding, how can they harm the people?" ”

Saying that, Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhang Gui: "It's just that I don't know if there are people on the side of Uncle Guo's West Factory who don't know Uncle Guo are doing nonsense underneath." ”

"Sun Yunhe is not from your East Factory?"

Apocalypse asked at this time.
