Chapter 27: Undercurrent
In the face of the popularity of the new newspaper and the Second Prince's Mansion, Li Chengze was not surprised but happy.
Now that the new newspaper is profitable, the trend is unstoppable.
In particular, this terrible influence is even more shocking.
But at this moment, it is also the most suitable time for him to make trouble.
He believed that His Majesty the Emperor, who sat high on the throne, would not be able to tolerate such a powerful power under the Prince's command.
Three days later, everything will be known.
Li Chengze's eyes were dark, but faintly excited and happy.
To tell the truth, he couldn't wait to see his new newspaper founded by the prince's younger brother being snatched away and plummeting from a height.
……
In the East Palace, Li Chengqian was silently thinking about one thing.
Now that Shinpao is just being implemented in Kyoto, even if it is an ordinary event, what will happen if it is implemented to the entire territory of Keikoku?
Even, what will happen if it is implemented to the whole world in the future?
If he can get multiple lottery chances as his influence expands, then in the future, both his own power and the power under his command will expand at an incredible speed.
Of course, even if everything turned out to be as he thought, it would still be extremely difficult.
For example, this new newspaper is now on sale in Kyoto, and once it is launched, it will face far more problems than before.
For example, the manpower, horses and the increasing cost of transportation are a huge problem.
This is not modern, with electronic fax or a well-established logistics system.
Moreover, even if he prepared the transportation channel, it would take more than ten days to get from Kyoto to the border of Keikoku at the earliest.
Maybe he can prepare the follow-up new newspapers in various places more than a month in advance, and after agreeing on a good date, they will be sold at the same time.
But the current affairs section can't afford to wait that long.
In recent days, although the young Qingguo has attracted the attention of countless people, Zhu Xian has also attracted many people to linger.
But the current affairs section has also been well received by many people.
They can keep abreast of the big and small things happening around them through the current affairs section.
This is actually crucial for many ordinary people who have been trapped in a very small circle all their lives.
Even, this may be the only way they can really understand the outside world.
Of course, he can also ask the local newspaper to collect current affairs news and report on it, but the manpower and material resources required will increase a lot.
In particular, there are seven roads up and down Qingguo, nearly 20 states, and hundreds of large and small cities.
Really spread out the spread, and the cost of it will be astronomical.
The most important thing is the number of people needed, if Emperor Qing knows, I am afraid that he will be extremely reasonable to suspect that he is going to rebel.
In fact, in his opinion, the new newspaper is a bit too popular at the moment.
As for the release outside of Kyoto, there are some preliminary preparations, but the specific actions need to be carefully considered.
Now, the main thing for him is to cool down the new newspaper.
Thinking of this, he immediately called out and said, "Izumo? ”
As the words fell, there was a clanging sound in the room next to him, followed by a sound of footsteps, and Izumo pushed open his door and walked in a little hurry.
At this moment, Izumo's once beautiful and moving posture is no longer there, and under the long and sparse eyelashes, a pair of bright eyes carry a bit of indescribable tiredness and depression.
Moreover, the white clothes of the past have also been replaced by a bright and feminine green dress.
Zhu Xian has written to the end, but Baguio's resurrection is still far away.
She really likes Baguio, and she can see from the change of color in her clothes, so in order to bring Baguio to life, she has protested to him several times.
However, every time Li Chengqian firmly rejected her.
One is because that's what the original book is.
One is because he also thinks that maybe only an imperfect ending will be remembered.
Seeing Izumo coming in, Li Chengqian looked at her appearance and shook his head with a smile, and said, "How is it, is it finished?" ”
Izumo pursed his lips and said softly, "Today should be the end." ”
Li Chengqian pulled her over, held her in his arms, and comforted: "People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, where is there anything flawless in this world?" ”
Izumo's cheeks flushed with a hint of powder, and he hummed in a low voice.
The two hugged each other quietly for a long time, and Li Chengqian played with the verdant jade fingers, and asked aloud: "Has the contract been signed?" ”
Izumo half leaned in Li Chengqian's arms, and his tone was a little lazy, and said: "I signed it, and I gave him fifty taels a month, but he was afraid that I would regret it." ”
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Now the new newspaper is like a fragrant bait, countless jackals, tigers and leopards are staring, the next idle chess move here in him, although it may not be useful, but maybe it will have a miraculous effect?" ”
She turned her head sideways, looked at Li Chengqian with bright eyes, showed a bit of a fierce look, and said, "Someone is playing the idea of the new newspaper?" ”
Li Chengqian pecked lightly on Izumo's small mouth and said, "You can finish writing the story of Zhuxian well, and leave the rest to me." ”
All of a sudden, the flush that Izumo had just faded appeared on his cheeks again, and his eyes were filled with joy and disgust.
……
Time flies, and three days are fleeting.
In addition to the fact that the new newspaper is still selling extremely hot, the changes of the seven shops that have been advertised in the new newspaper are also very different.
For a while, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to go to Fuyao Newspaper to get an advertising space.
However, in addition to the previously agreed merchants, the subsequent advertising space of Xinbao will be determined by bidding.
As for the bidding, the people of the world are actually no strangers.
Because the business of the inner library is almost always decided by bidding.
This bidding method has a history of more than 20 years since Ye Qingmei was founded.
Many people regretted it.
Because everyone knows that once the bidding starts, if you want to win an advertising space, I'm afraid that a hundred taels of silver will not be enough.
In fact, some people have already inquired that the reserve price of this advertising tender is one hundred taels.
Not only that, the threshold for bidding is also not low, in addition to money, the conditions of the merchant itself will directly determine whether you are eligible to participate in the bidding.
Li Chengqian paid more attention to the prestige of the newspaper itself than some petty profits.
And this fame can become an indispensable part of his future ascension to the throne.
And just when Luo Guanzhong was arranging a bidding matter in the Fuyao Newspaper Hall, in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, the great court meeting that was only once on the 15th had also been held in the Taiji Palace.
All officials in Kyoto who are above the fifth rank, including princes who have reached the age of 16 and have reached the age of the crown, are required to attend.
Li Chengqian naturally arrived at his familiar position early, waiting for Emperor Qing to appear.
He had a hunch that today's court meeting would not be so peaceful.
