"Your Highness, in all states and counties, whether it is the common people, or those merchants, gentry and magnates, they rarely go out on weekdays.

Even if they go out, the farthest they can reach is half a day, or even just an hour, or two hours.

As far as it goes, it's going far.

But it's extremely difficult to go far away!

More than half of the people will never go out once in their lives, and the rest of the gentry and magnates will be good if they can go out once a year! ”

"Your Highness, although these gentry and magnates are the richest people in the Ming Dynasty.

However, they don't go out once a year, and it is difficult for them to enjoy things that are hundreds of miles, or even thousands of miles away.

Therefore, they can't stop thinking about the extravagant objects in the distance, or the longing of classmates and friends, and relatives who are far away! ”

All they had to do was know what was in the distant city, what was there, or if they could deliver letters to their distant relatives, they could hand them over to the person who sent the news.

And these senders of my newspaper take the goods or money from them, and sign the documents......

Wait until it reaches the person you want to receive and sign a receipt!

Or buy them ......

Then, when the sender returns to the original place, give the receipt to the person who paid the money in the first place......"

"Your Highness, the reputation of my newspaper mansion is famous all over the world, and the newspaper mansion is covered by His Royal Highness, all the scholars, businessmen, gentry and magnates in the entire Ming Dynasty will trust my newspaper mansion!"

"When we get there, we don't need to report to the couriers to look for customers, they will come to the door on their own......"

Zhu Gaochi's face was full of excitement, and in an instant, he had already thought it through.

"If you follow what the teacher said, the person who recruits to send the Di Bao will definitely be able to earn a lot of money for the Di Bao."

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An praised casually, and then said.

"However, there is one thing, Weichen also has to inform His Highness!"

"Teacher, please speak!"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said, this will make his heart full of excitement.

Guo An Zhengse said: "Your Highness, down like this, my newspaper residence is in various states and counties in Daming, and there will be several people who send the newspaper."

Therefore, it is necessary to appoint a person to supervise it. ”

Zhu Gaochi's expression was solemn and he nodded slowly.

"What the teacher said is very true!"

Guo An added: "In addition, to piggyback on the delivery of letters and goods to those merchants and gentry, it is necessary to write down their names and addresses, and to rewrite the serial numbers for each state capital, so that I can report to the house that the transporter can know where to ship without knowing the information of the goods and packages......

Your Highness, down like this, the newspaper mansion will control the situation of all the gentry, merchants, and scholars in the entire Ming Dynasty, and even the situation of each village will be secretly controlled by my newspaper mansion! ”

"How could it be?"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly realized something, and his eyes widened directly.

"Teacher, if that's the case, wouldn't my newspaper mansion take control of the duties of the household department and the brocade guard?"

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slowly, and said: "However, Your Highness, rest assured, my newspaper residence only controls the names and addresses of the common people, merchants, gentry and magnates of the Ming Dynasty, and ignores the rest of the situation."

Even, in order to maintain the fairness and privacy of my newspaper mansion, my newspaper mansion also needs to prohibit Jinyi Wei from sending people to get involved! ”

Zhu Gaochi thought about it for a while, and then said: "Father should agree to this matter!" ”

"That's it!"

Guo An nodded with some reassurance.

As for Zhu Gaochi, this will be the beginning of contemplation.

He finally understood why Guo An built the mansion so formally, and then he had to let him, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, or his father be in charge.

Public opinion, intelligence, and even military power......

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.

Equally.

Zhu Gaochi left Dinghaihou, returned to the palace, and told Zhu Di about the side job of the newspaper dispatcher, Zhu Di was also shocked.

"We always thought that when we were in Beiping Mansion, your teacher was already a great talent.

Unexpectedly, after coming to Jingshi, Guo Qing had been silently planning this matter after letting Ma He and others lead the fleet to sea! ”

"Knowing astronomy, knowing geography, passing through the heavens and latitudes, governing the country and the country, and cultivating one's family...... In Dinghaihou's mind, how many other policies for governing the country are there that we don't know? ”

"Chi'er, in the past, when you had nothing to do, you went to Dinghaihou more often to meet your teacher.

That teacher has always been used to keeping a low profile, and when you are in Beiping Mansion, we can always follow behind your teacher and urge him.

And since we took the throne, we don't have time to urge your teacher!

And Guo Qing seems to have been trying his best to defend your position as the crown prince, as long as you ask, he will definitely know everything and say everything......"

“……”

A flash of gratitude flashed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes, and he hurriedly responded, "Erchen obeys the order!" ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

"As for the matter of the mansion, you will listen to the words of Dinghaihou, if you can't find the dispatcher who recruits the newspaper and goods to transport the mansion, you can go to the Wei Mansion and find some old soldiers!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed.

"Once the newspaper mansion grows stronger, the dispatchers under the control of the newspaper mansion will also be an intelligence network all over the Ming Dynasty, which can supervise the gentry, officials, and magnates in all states and counties under the Ming Dynasty for my Ming Emperor......"

As he spoke, Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi tightly, "Chi'er, these dispatchers in the newspaper mansion, you must pay attention to them!" ”

"Yes, Dad!"

Zhu Gaochi's heart was even more excited.

He didn't expect that after reporting to his father, the newspaper had one more duty, that is, intelligence.

In this way, the newspaper mansion will be the biggest force that he, the prince of Daming, controls in Daming!

Even the matter of reporting the residence is as important as the cabinet he commands.

……

"An old man who can drive a horse-drawn carriage and be a dispatcher for transporting newspapers and goods? Do you still need to be able to read and write, and do arithmetic? ”

The Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou and other brothers couldn't help but be surprised after listening to Zhu Gaochi's words.

Immediately, he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, do you know that in the first guard, you may not be able to find ten such old soldiers?" ”

"Uncles, I know!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded helplessly and continued: "This kind of old pawn is very important to me.

This matter was also ordered by my father......

However, if you can't find it, I can look for employment from various states and counties in Daming, and every such person will give at least two taels of treasure money every month, or even higher......"

"Two taels of treasure money?"

Hearing this, Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou couldn't help but change their faces slightly.

Then, he said directly.

"Your Highness, don't worry, we will definitely find a few more such old soldiers for Your Highness!"

"I wonder how many Your Highness needs?"

Zhu Gaochi said slowly: "According to estimates, now Daming needs two for each county, three for each state, and four ......for each prefecture."

"Hiss......"

Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou and the others couldn't help but take a cold breath and looked at Zhu Gaochi in surprise.

"Wouldn't it take thousands of them?"

"Exactly!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded helplessly.

Yesterday, after doing the math, he was even more helpless and surprised.

That's enough to form a guard!

Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou had a ruthless look in their eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will definitely look for such an old pawn for Your Highness!" ”

"Thank you uncles for your help!"

After leaving the Wei Mansion, Zhu Gaochi went to the mansion where the newspaper was located.
