Half a month later, a newspaper called Datang Entertainment Daily quickly swept the entire Jingshi.

The streets and alleys are full of the cries of hanging bun boys.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, freshly baked newspapers, current affairs and politics, entertainment gossip, poetry and articles, all kinds of newspapers, just a penny, a penny, you can't buy a loss, you can't buy a fool......"

"Newspapers, something"

Some of the people looked puzzled.

However, many literate people have donated generously after hearing the newspapers about current affairs, politics, entertainment, gossip, poetry, and articles.

The newspaper sold out at once!

Chen Kan sat in a restaurant, holding a newspaper in his hand, listening to the cries outside, and nodded with satisfaction.

With the financial and manpower of the Hou Mansion, selling the newspaper to every corner of the capital within half a month was just a trivial matter.

There's no such thing as the internet now, so messages are delivered more slowly.

Otherwise, Chen Kan was sure to achieve the expected goal within three days.

Today is only the first day, and the popularity of the newspaper is beyond Chen Kan's imagination.

On the street, whether literate or illiterate, anyone with a little family background has an extra newspaper two feet long and one foot wide in their hands.

Chen Kan listened to the clamor downstairs for a while, then took the newspaper and began to read it.

Although many of the contents were written by him himself three days ago, he still read them with relish.

There's no way, there are too few entertainment activities in Daming, and Chen Kan has long been tired of watching those babbling encouragements.

Making a pot of tea and squatting to read the newspaper is very attractive.

This is the final version edited by several Houfu scholars, and the first thing that catches your eye is the advertising space in the center of the newspaper for rent, with a few large characters in large and bold letters.

On the side of the big text are advertisements for several industries in the Hou Mansion.

The newspaper is divided into several sections, the first of which is international current affairs, that is, what has happened recently in the Ming Dynasty, and what has happened in the countries around the Ming Dynasty.

The second section is politics, which mainly tells about the major reforms that the center has recently made and what decrees have been announced.

This is followed by entertainment, small stories carefully written by readers, rumors and gossip in the market, and Oiran rhymes.

Then there is the article on current affairs, and at the end is the poetry section.

The newspaper is very primitive, but in terms of entertainment, it is more than one level higher than the official newspaper of the imperial court.

Even when the official newspaper of the imperial court was released, it could attract countless people to stop and watch, let alone newspapers.

After reading the contents of the newspaper, Chen Kan changed to another restaurant.

The main purpose of this is to hear with your own ears what the people say about the newspaper.

Chen Kan found a place by the window and sat down, and saw that there were more and more people holding newspapers in the restaurant.

And those who don't have a newspaper in their hands, after seeing someone holding a newspaper into the door, they can't help but ask curiously, and then go out to find a boy who sells newspapers and spend a penny copper to buy a newspaper with relish.

It's good, everything is expected.

After confirming that the market reversal was not bad, Chen Kan returned to the Hou Mansion.

And in the Hou Mansion, there are already several people waiting for him.

A businessman-like steward, two scholars dressed as scribes.

As soon as Chen Kan walked into the auditorium, the three of them hurriedly got up and greeted him.

"I've seen Master Hou!"

"No need to be polite, sit!"

As soon as Chen Kan came to the main seat and sat down, the businessman-like steward arched his hand and said: "Master Hou, starting from the sale of newspapers, there are hundreds of merchants who have come to the door and want to cooperate with us. ”

The steward was none other than the shopkeeper Liu, who was in charge of the publication of the newspaper, and before that, he had opened up the cement market for the Hou Mansion, and his ability was beyond doubt.

Chen Kan is not surprised that some businesses have come to cooperate, newspapers themselves have strong commercial attributes.

Now there are only hundreds of businesses, and when the newspaper quickly becomes popular in Daming, I am afraid that the merchants who want to advertise will be able to line up from Beijing to Nanjing.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Kan responded lightly: "You take someone to divide the advertising space into several levels, arrange them in different places in the newspaper, and then, auction it, the one with the highest price wins." ”

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

This is indeed a good way, different advertisements can bring different effects, take the position of advertising space rental, Liu shopkeeper feels that it is his dereliction of duty not to sell a thousand yuan.

"The villain will do it!"

Shopkeeper Liu answered, and then happily exited the door.

Two scholars dressed as scribes quietly listened to Chen Kan and Shopkeeper Liu chatting about businessmen.

Only then did one of them speak: "Master Hou, the popularity of this newspaper is beyond our imagination now, if we have to publish different content every day, we will not have enough manpower at all." ”

Chen Kan looked at the young scholar who opened his mouth and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Chen Kan called Wen let the scholar ponder for a moment, and then arched his hand: "The student thinks that it is better to separate the printed newspaper from the editorial newspaper content.

One is dedicated to editing news articles, and after review, send them to the printing place for printing, and the other is to recruit more people and expand the scale. ”

"Okay, it's divided into the printing department and the information department, and Wen will let you be fully responsible for everything, if there is any difficulty in the money, just find Yuncheng."

Chen Kan announced the results with a decisive word.

The abilities of these disciples under the command of the Hou Mansion, or the retainers, can stand up to verification.

Wen Rang heard this, bowed slightly, and left with another scholar.

When a newspaper is just starting out, there are many things to be busy with.

After sending away a few backbones, Chen Kan was about to go back to the backyard to see Chang Ning, so Zhang Dong rushed into the auditorium and arched his hand to Chen Kan and said, "Master Hou, the Jingshi is here!" ”

Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, and then said suspiciously: "So fast? ”

The arrival of Jingshi is naturally related to the inexplicable assassination more than half a month ago.

At that time, Chen Kan gave Xu Yuan a strict order, if he couldn't see the nameless building owner within a month, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division would be replaced.

However, Chen Kan really didn't expect Xu Yuan's speed to be so fast.

The distance from Nanjing to Beijing is thousands of miles, and it will take at least half a month to come and go, even if it is one person and three horses, let alone arrest people.

So Xu Yuan came so quickly this time, it was indeed a bit unexpected by Chen Kan.

"Okay, since you're here, let's go with Ben Hou to have a look."

Answering casually, Chen Kan got up and walked out of the auditorium towards the gate of the Hou Mansion.

When he came to the gate of the Hou Mansion with Zhang Dong and a group of guards, he saw Xu Yuan standing in front of the Hou Mansion with two black circles under his eyes and a group of captains with black circles on his head.

One of the horses was also tied to a silent bevelous young man.

"Hou... Master Hou."

Seeing Chen Kan appear, Xu Yuan shouted at him with a trembling voice, and then the whole person suddenly fell down on the horse.

Chen Kan hurriedly stepped forward to support him, only to find that his inner thighs had been blurred by the saddle's flesh and blood, and he could vaguely see the white bones of Sensen.

"Hou... Master Hou, subordinate, fortunately not dishonored! ”

Xu Yuan only had time to say a complete sentence, and the whole person fainted.

At the same time, the captains who followed behind Xu Yuan also fell off their horses like dumplings.

"Yuncheng!"

"Help!"

Chen Kan gave an order, and Yun Cheng quickly led the people in the mansion to quickly carry these captains who didn't know whether they had fallen asleep or fainted into the mansion.

I went to the doctor to treat the injury on their thigh.

It's dog days, and wounds are the most susceptible to inflammation.

So Chen Kan didn't dare to be careless.

As soon as he saw their injuries, Chen Kan knew that after Xu Yuan went from Beijing to Suzhou to exterminate the nameless building, he definitely didn't close his eyes during the journey to Beijing.

For a while, Chen Kan was moved and angry.

What touched me was that although he was no longer in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, there were still countless people who were willing to work for him one after another after the order.

What is angry is that Xu Yuan didn't even care about his own body for the sake of a small killer organization, which is a typical loss of small things.

After settling down the group from Jingshi, Chen Kan came to the basement.

Needless to say, this demonic young man brought by Xu Yuan should be the owner of the so-called nameless building.

Chen Kan came to the basement, and Zhang Dong had already led someone to strip off the so-called nameless landlord and hang him up.

can only be said to be a professional killer, although he fell into the hands of Xu Yuan, I don't know how many times he was searched, there are still many hidden weapons hidden on his body.

Hidden in the hair, it looks like a hair-like but extremely sharp silk thread.

Some kind of iron bead hidden in the nasal cavity, a blade the size of a fingernail under the eyelids.

If these Chen Kan can still understand, then when Zhang Dong used tweezers to take out a three-inch Sensen iron needle from his anus, even the well-informed Chen Kan couldn't help but chrysanthemum tighten.

It was really hard for him to understand which clever person invented such a perverted way of hiding hidden weapons, and how he trained it so that he could not hurt himself.

Isn't he afraid of being stabbed?

Zhang Dong put those hidden weapons into the warm water and soaked them, walked to Chen Kan's side and said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, do you want to wake him up now?" ”

"Wake up!"

Chen Kan couldn't wait to know if his guess was true or false.

Even though he felt that eight or nine was inseparable, he wanted to know whose meaning it was.

To take revenge, there must always be a definite goal.

Hearing this, Zhang Dong picked up the short needle from the warm water and pricked the assassin a few times, and the assassin woke up miraculously.

The demonic young man opened his eyes and found himself in a dark room, the whole person was stripped naked and hung up, and he couldn't help but struggle a few times, and after finding that he couldn't break free, he looked curiously at Chen Kan, the only one sitting in the dark room.

Chen Kan got up and walked around him a few times, and finally stood in front of him.

Tilting his head to meet the young man's gaze, he said lightly: "Introduce yourself, Benhou Chen Kan." ”
