Without mentioning the gossip, Li Chengqian's voice fell, and the ministers in the palace were all shocked.

It's been silent for only a few months, what are they going to do with this prince?

On the dragon chair, Emperor Qing asked with interest: "Tell me about it." ”

The trend brought by Shinpao has not subsided, especially with the emergence of dozens of newspaper offices in Kyoto, and people have begun to set up newspaper offices scattered throughout Keikoku.

There are countless channels for people to understand information all of a sudden, and some trends are indeed quietly changing.

For example, there are many fewer things about the powerful people bullying people and bullying women in the streets and alleys.

After all, no one wants to make the headlines of a particular newspaper the next day.

The consequences would be devastating.

Normally, you may be able to rely on your own power to suppress this matter.

But when there are many people who pay attention, it is not so simple to suppress it.

As for keeping the newspaper down, he doesn't look at who the people behind the newspaper are now.

The prince, the prime minister, and the high-ranking officials of the ministry, which one is easy to mess with?

Now in order to seize market share, the brains are almost out.

With such a hot event, who would give up easily for the sake of an idiot?

What's more, even if this newspaper doesn't report it, why should other newspapers turn a blind eye?

Therefore, putting aside the rest for the time being, the atmosphere in Qingguo has indeed improved a lot unconsciously.

In particular, Emperor Qing has always been very interested in Luo Guanzhong, who wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

He was also very curious about how he, the prince, could let such a person work for him.

Of course, for Luo Guanzhong, he naturally asked the inner court to do a background check.

A native of Kyoto, who participated in the imperial examination 20 years ago, and after failing to make the list, he has run his own bookstore to this day.

It seems that it was because of reading the article in the new newspaper that the young Qingguo said that he had the heart to work in the recruitment hall.

Because of this, he couldn't help but think about the rationality of the imperial examination.

Why did such a talent fall off the list?

Of course, he just thought about it casually, the matter of the imperial examination will affect the whole body, and if he is not careful, the entire Qingguo officialdom will be shaken.

Naturally, he didn't move lightly.

However, he is indeed very interested in what Li Chengqian wants to do next.

After all, with the new news in front of Zhuyu, his sense of expectation was naturally raised to an extremely high level.

However, being able to say what you want to do in a grand manner is probably a privilege that only the prince has.

After thinking for a while, Li Chengqian said aloud: "Erchen heard that the post of postal route transshipment has been vacant until now, resulting in losses in the postal route system year after year, and he cannot make ends meet.

After all, the ministers once lent the thousand taels of silver to their sons for the inner treasury, which can be described as painful, and the expenditure of this postal system has not exceeded ten thousand taels so far?

Therefore, for the ministers in the palace to relieve their worries, and also for my Qingguo to relieve their worries, the ministers are willing to serve as the post of postal transit envoy, and hope that Your Majesty will be fulfilled! ”

When the words fell, there was silence in the Taiji Hall.

Many courtiers, including Emperor Qing, did not look good.

This postal system was established by Emperor Qing, and it has been losing money year after year, and although it is well known that the bottomless pit is filled with silver, this is not a good thing after all, and no one has ever mentioned it.

In particular, the relatives of many courtiers are living in chaos, so how can those with vested interests care whether the country loses money or not?

Under the tacit understanding of both sides, the matter of this postal system was almost deliberately forgotten by everyone.

As a result, today Li Chengqian tore off the transparent fig leaf in front of everyone in the Taiji Hall.

So nakedly defeated everything on the table.

Naturally, their faces are not good-looking.

However, if you want to refute it, the fact of loss is here, if you want to argue strongly, if today's matter is circulated through the newspapers, where will the face go?

Therefore, many courtiers could only be silent.

Of course, not everyone is unhappy with this.

A few people have no objection to this, and are even happy to see it happen.

First of all, the power of the postal system is not high, and the so-called transshipment makes only four products.

There will be no criticism that the crown prince wants to take on this position.

In addition, if the crown prince can really turn the mail system into a profit, it will be a good thing for Qingguo.

Even, even if the loss is less, it is a great achievement.

There is nothing to reproach in law.

So, in the silence, a person who was quite surprised by Li Chengqian stood up and spoke.

"Chen Fan suggested seconding the proposal!"

Fan Jian was also helpless, because of Fan Sizhe's incident, the Fan family and the prince had to be bound for at least ten years.

The contract in black and white was there, and it was not something that he could get rid of with his empty words.

As for the breach of contract, it is also very simple, twice the liquidated damages, that is, the five thousand taels of silver dismantled by Fan Sizhen are doubled, 10,000 taels.

The Fan family does have a thin family asset, but if they want to take out 10,000 taels, they are afraid that they will hollow out the Fan family.

After all, most of the family assets of the Fan Mansion are the food obtained from the fief of the title of Earl Sinan, as well as the savings of the Fan family in the past dynasties.

What's more, even if he took out 10,000 taels to forcibly terminate this paper contract, he was afraid that he would offend the prince ruthlessly.

He is naturally not afraid, but what about Fan Sizhe and Fan Ruoruo?

When he dies, what will happen to Fan?

What's more, in the matter of the new newspaper, the prince has already come to prominence, and it is by no means a wise move to offend the prince at this juncture.

At this point, he naturally had no choice but to start moving closer to the prince on a scale.

In addition, he also agreed with the post route mentioned by the prince in his heart.

Now although he is called the head of the household, but the head of the household is no longer in charge of things, and the whole household respects him, and the matter involving money, even if it is the inner treasury, is closely related to him.

After all, they are all for Qingguo, whether it is the inner treasury or the household department, they are the two most important money bags of Qingguo.

At the very least, the postal route will no longer lose money, and the internal inventory will have more silver, and the pressure on the household department will naturally be much smaller.

Fan Jian's voice fell, and Guo Youzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also came forward, and said: "The minister also agrees with what the prince said, the interests of the country are very important, and the so-called dragons cannot be without a leader, and this postal system naturally cannot be without a transshipment envoy for a day." ”

After all, he is the prince's former teacher, and his son is still compiled by the East Palace, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, all of which have been rigidly bound to the East Palace.

Since the crown prince wants to do things, he naturally has to give his full support.

With the appearance of Fan Jian and Guo Youzhi, many officials of the prince's family echoed it.

Although it is not that there are no relatives among them at the post station, everything naturally has to make way for the interests of the crown prince.

What's more, the prince's meddling in the mail route may also be an opportunity for some of them.

If this half-dead postal system can be brought back to life like Xinbao, it will not be an opportunity, but a rare creation in life.

Seeing this, Emperor Qing said with a light face: "That is the case, the prince must not live up to the expectations of the ministers. ”
