Chapter 186 Chu State Daily, a Hot Issue
After more than ten days of hard work, the first edition of the newspaper was finally finalized.
Chen Changan did not take a big step. He personally selected a hundred people from teahouses and wine shops and collected a hundred taels of silver from each of them.
Because it is a trial operation, the advertising fee is very low.
The twelve merchants only received a total of ten taels of silver, which can be ignored.
It doesn’t matter. All expenses are paid by the royal family anyway, so Chen Changan has nothing to be afraid of.
The emperor also attached great importance to it and looked at the sample all night long.
The name of the newspaper is simple: Chu Daily.
Chen Changan did not disclose any serious national affairs, but just talked about how tough the emperor was and how he sent envoys to visit various countries.
He also gave it a nice name: Wolf Warrior Diplomacy!
The emperor's famous quote: "One hundred thousand mountains and rivers, one hundred thousand blood, one million young men, one million soldiers!"
"If the barbarians rebel, they will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
Look, how domineering!
The second edition is the news of the market. Through the text and pictures above, the emperor can also understand the lives of the people.
As for the poetry part, Chen Changan specifically targeted literati and there is not much to say.
The most important thing is Chen Changan’s novel.
Although Chen Changan is based on his personal experience, it is impossible to write about him.
The protagonist's name is Li Longxiang.
He has many sisters with the surname Li. His mother is Luo Yuan and his father is Ruyang King Li Ping'an.
"Li Longxiang, do you know your mistake?"
……
"Mother, my ninth brother grew up in an orphanage and has no upbringing. Why are you so angry?"
"Third sister, you are speaking for Hanzi again!"
"Humph, the Snowflake Horse was a gift from the Emperor to my mother, but I was stupid and didn't know better. I broke the horse's leg when I rode it out!"
……
Chen Changan was not like the literati of Da Chu who always wrote a poem at the beginning of their article. He used a simple and plain tone to outline Li Longxiang's experience.
The emperor's mind was tightly grasped, and his thoughts followed Li Longxiang's ups and downs. (All readers who have read this are the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!)
Today's content is about Li Longxiang leaving Ruyang Palace, and the space is not enough.
Xiang Yingyu was so fascinated by the scene that her eyes turned red.
"Father, is what the Prince Consort said his own experience?"
"Wow, I'm so sad!"
Xiang Yingyou felt distressed, and the emperor also felt distressed.
"Damn Chen Changan, what's the point of writing halfway through?"
"Humph, I want to see how he makes Prince Ruyang and his family regret it... Eunuch Jing, summon Chen Changan to the palace immediately. I want him to tell me the story in person!"
Eunuch Jing looked up at the sky and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to bed."
Eunuch Jing was struggling, but Xiang Liuli shook his head: "Father, you have to eat one bite at a time and read one day at a time."
"If Chen Changan wrote the whole story, not only would it waste his energy, but how would he maintain the loyalty of the people to the newspaper?"
"Forget it, don't embarrass Chen Changan, you should rest now."
The emperor shook his head slightly, but ultimately he was helpless.
Xiang Liuli took Xiang Yingyou back to her room. Xiang Yingyou held her sister's arm and laughed.
"Sister, otherwise you and Chen Changan will be able to make the fake play real!"
"Let the King of Huainan know that Chen Changan, whom he despised, has become the current emperor's consort, and let their whole family regret it!"
Xiang Liuli didn't say anything, but just pinched her sister's face.
Romance was the business of her younger brothers and sisters, and she only cared about the stability of the Chu state.
……
The newspaper became popular.
It was read out simultaneously in hundreds of shops in Baidi City, and the people really flocked to it.
In the past, we could only listen to stories told by storytellers, which we got tired of hearing. But newspapers talk about national affairs and people’s livelihood.
When the reciter read out loudly "The barbarians who cause rebellion must be punished, even though they are far away", and when they heard "Wolf Warrior Diplomacy", all the people were excited.
As a citizen of the Great Chu, who doesn’t want the country to be prosperous and strong?
Your Majesty is truly a wise ruler!
Coercion!
overbearing!
Damn courage!
The market page is also very popular.
The relatives of so-and-so did not support their parents, so they went to the government to complain. The government beat them with dozens of sticks, which naturally won the applause of the people.
Of course, there are also literati who scoff at this.
Even the untouchables can understand me. I am a person of status, how can I associate with the untouchables?
However, when they heard the poetry section, they immediately put away their contempt.
"Linjiang Fairy"
the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero.
The success or failure turned empty, the green hills were still there, and the sunset was red several times.
The white-haired fisherman Qiao Jiangzhu used to watch autumn and spring.
A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet each other, and many things in the past and present are all jokes about.
Men of letters and scholars could not help but shake their heads and sigh.
so good!
Even though the untouchables couldn’t understand, they all understood!
Among them, a scholar named Hu Ban said loudly: "This poem is very good. I, Ban, would like to call it the best!"
Next up, it’s “After severing ties, the prince’s entire family regretted it.”
The story is straightforward and fascinating.
When everyone heard what happened to Li Longxiang, they were outraged!
"Damn it, damn it, all the family of Prince Ruyang will have to die a miserable death!"
"I'm so angry when I hear this. How can there be such a prince? He's worse than pigs and dogs!"
"Luo Yuan should be sold to a brothel for one penny each time!"
……
The people were outraged and cut it off with gritted teeth.
Many literati also plan to buy newspapers and read them carefully when they get home.
Chen Changan slapped his forehead. Yes, newspapers can not only be read, but also sold!
After the trial operation was successful, Chen Changan quickened his pace.
An order was issued to the thirteen states across the country, requiring each state and county to adopt the same method, selling newspapers and reading them in public.
The Chu State has more than 500 cities of all sizes, and they are just being developed. Each city has a monthly revenue of 10,000 taels of silver.
The revenue from rent collection alone is five million taels!
Advertising, what about the money from selling newspapers?
It can be said that throughout the month, the royal family’s basic income reached tens of millions!
Chen Changan once said that if you have money, you will be able to stand firm!
Barbarians causing chaos?
Come on, I'm going to beat the shit out of you!
……
During these ten days, Chen Changan was busy with newspapers, and Chen Fusheng was also not idle.
The King of Huainan transferred a batch of silver from Jiangdu, and Chen Fusheng invested it all in building the RV.
According to incomplete estimates, there are now 20 vehicles in the entire country!
As long as the RV business can be run on a certain scale, wouldn’t the Chu family’s jade business be his?
Chen Fusheng acted decisively.
Using the title of King of Huainan, he gathered together thousands of wealthy people from all over the country, where he was giving a passionate speech.
"My fellow rich people, this is our RV business!"
"We will definitely go all out and use 100% enthusiasm to protect your travel safety. I guarantee this in the name of the Huainan Palace!"
"Please believe us, the RV will definitely be able to go beyond the State of Chu!"
I have to say that Chen Fusheng's words are still very persuasive.
Even if they don't consider anything else, they still have to give face to King Huainan.
The wealthy people were whispering to each other, all of them seemed to be interested.
Bai Chenyang, the head of the Baidi Chamber of Commerce, was also among those invited. He just nodded and smiled: "Sir, I have a question."
"Now the barbarians are ready to make a move. The emperor asked the King of Huainan to prepare for war. All soldiers have returned to the barracks. How can you guarantee our safety?"
"…Send out a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled people?"
Chen Fusheng frowned: "The emperor gave the order? When did he give the order? How come I don't know?"
"Do not you know?"
Bai Chenyang opened a newspaper and pointed to an article: "Take a look at this."
Everyone squinted their eyes at the same time and looked at the newspaper.
"The barbarians are causing chaos, and Great Chu is in danger! This is how the Emperor should respond!"
How to deal with it?
