Chapter 168: I didn't come up in one breath

Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment, he wanted to give him a day to think about it, but it seems that he doesn't need it, money is everything.

"The old minister has a doubt."

The prime minister suppressed his joy and clenched his fists and said: "The newspaper has to be published every day, how can we ensure that the things in it are true and accurate?" ”

"If it is found to be a fake, the reputation of honesty accumulated by the old minister in his life will be ruined."

What worries him the most now is not that Li Zhen is not easy to explain, but the accuracy of the newspaper's content.

"On this point, you can rest assured that before each issue is released, you will be given a look. You can send someone to find out what happened. Li Xingchen waved his hand.

After all, most of the newspapers record what has happened or is happening, and it is easy to investigate.

As for the forecasting section, wait until the newspaper has a real truth in the hearts of the people before starting.

The prime minister knew it.

The capital is very large, and the news of the incident can reach the ears of all the people in a short period of time, and the action power gives them a huge space for operation.

"Then what if the old minister has something else that he wants to print in the newspaper?"

Li Xingchen shook his head, "No, the content released every day will be collected by a special person." There are regulations that do not allow the rest of the information to be published in newspapers. ”

The Prime Minister was nodding.

In the next ten days, the newspaper office was very busy, and the prime minister asked for leave and did not go to the morning court, so the angry Li Zhen sent the chief eunuch to carry eight large sedan chairs and invite him into the palace.

The prime minister was frightened and guessed how angry Li Zhen was.

When he handed over the work at hand to his assistant, he sat in a sedan chair and entered the palace.

The Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, the old minister."

"Aiqing is exempt." Li Zhen looked at him with a smile, "You are very busy during this time, even if I want to find you, I need to carry a sedan chair eight times, right?" ”

"The old minister doesn't dare, please forgive your majesty."

The prime minister trembled, thinking about how to solve the trouble, guessing that Li Zhen must have asked him to come over this time to ask for guilt.

As a result, Li Zhen's tone changed, "Prime Minister, I'm happy today, and I don't care about the newspaper with you."

Half a year ago, Dajin pressed the border, and I sent General Longhu to suppress it, and yesterday there was a great victory, and our side returned with a great victory. It won't be long before General Dragon Tiger returns.

You publish this in the newspaper as soon as possible, inform the people, and celebrate it with the whole world. ”

"Really?" The prime minister was suddenly excited, "God bless Great Wei, God bless Great Wei." ”

It's a lot more exciting than giving him a share.

Li Zhen stood up excitedly, laughed, laughed, and laughed comfortably.

For so long, he has been suffocated, the people's hearts have been lost, the palace has been fighting, internal and external troubles, and he has wanted to abdicate directly several times, but the news of returning from a big victory came.

"When General Long Hu returns to Beijing, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds.

By the way, Prime Minister, don't forget what I just told you, tomorrow I will see this news in the newspaper.

It is best to publicize the outstanding military exploits of the dragon and tiger generals throughout the newspaper.

The greatness of General Longhu under my guidance should also be recorded sideways, and the issue of people's hearts should also be sorted out.

Speaking of which, I've been too busy during this period, and I haven't seen what the newspaper looks like, so you can bring a copy tomorrow. ”

"Thisβ€”" The Prime Minister's smile stiffened on his face.

"Your Majesty, the content of the newspaper is not up to Wei Chen. It's the three princes who have hard and fast rules, and it's not good for old ministers to fake public and private interests. ”

"Bastard!" Li Zhen was furious, "It's rare for the court to have a big happy event, I asked you to print the happy event in the newspaper, but it became a fake public benefit?" Do you have me as an emperor in your eyes? ”

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister went to discuss with the third prince, and he really can't decide alone." The prime minister trembled and knelt down and spoke.

He has a lot of things to do with his own newspaper, and he has to deal with the emperor here, and he is exhausted.

After stamping the official seal to prove the authenticity of the incident, the people bought it more and more, and the sales of the newspaper increased significantly.

Even if it is said that it is the parents who are short, who has stolen a chicken today, and who has stolen a cow tomorrow, the people are also tired of watching it.

The prime minister had an idea and lied: "Your Majesty, it's not a secret, the newspaper is not as powerful as you think."

At the beginning, everyone had a copy, and now almost no one buys it, and the news of General Longhu's victory is printed on it, which is not helpful for His Majesty to win the hearts of the people. ”

"Nobody buys? Is the heat going down? Those dog minions in that palace are still discussing it every day! ”

Li Zhen's eyes lit up, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and the rebel also had the sound of failure, which was very happy, it was too rare.

I want to publicize this matter, and see who dares to tell me that Li Xingchen is excellent in the future, and let me bow my head to him and admit my mistakes.

If a good person fails, it proves that he is not good, haha.

"That's right." Li Zhen suppressed his joy and deliberately frowned, "I am very interested in newspapers, thinking that it is a promising industry, but it has failed, and its popularity has plummeted, and I feel incredible. ”

"In this case, Prime Minister, take me over to see the situation, and let me think of a way to see if I can save the life."

Sima Zhao's heart is well known, he clearly wants to laugh at Li Xingchen's failure, and at the same time warns the prime minister not to persuade himself to bow his head and admit his mistakes!

Wow!

The Prime Minister's pupils shrank.

He bullied the king, but he didn't want Li Zhen to embarrass him, but Li Zhen had to go over in person?

When the emperor spoke, he didn't dare to object, and he was unwilling to do so, so he could only accompany him.

In this way, the two went to the newspaper office and sent someone to the newspaper factory to call Li Xingchen.

The main street of the capital.

A newspaper office around the corner.

Li Zhen swaggered in.

Because he was wearing civilian clothes, the staff in the newspaper office did not recognize him as the emperor and only saluted the prime minister.

"I've met the president."

"I've met the president."

The prime minister gave them a look and waved his hand gently to signal them to pass.

Li Zhen's face was long, and he didn't say anything.

"Oh, president, I've been on two trips, and you're finally here." At this moment, a shopkeeper came in from outside.

"The newspaper I took yesterday was snatched up by the people in a short time. I came to you today to get ten times as many newspapers tomorrow. ”

The words fell, and there was another shopkeeper.

"President, this method of selling on behalf of the company is really good, not only to drive the business in my store and make a lot of money, but also to promote the reputation of my store.

The first thing people on our street want to buy now is our grocery store, and tomorrow there will be ten times more newspapers. ”

The more Li Zhen listened, the darker his face became.

The old thief just said that almost no one buys it, and it sounds like it's selling well.

The prime minister kept glancing at them, and the two shopkeepers were startled.

"President, what's wrong with you? Got an eye disease when you were old? I know a doctor who specializes in eyes, why don't I take you there now? ”

Jae almost didn't come up in one breath.
