The two of them walked halfway and bought a fresh newspaper from the roadside.
Although I briefly browsed it yesterday, I didn't read it carefully. I was sitting on the carriage and reading the newspaper in my hand with great interest.
Well, that’s right, I read the fourth edition!
While looking at it, I kept clicking my tongue——
Suddenly, Pei Ji's expression condensed and he gently pointed at a line of small words on the newspaper.
"Your Majesty, look here - he really did this!"
What Pei Ji was talking about was the call for papers that Wang Zi'an followed.
Open to the public and inviting contributions from all.
There is no restriction on identity or status. Even if you are illiterate, as long as the information is reliable, you can go to the various newspaper sales points of Datang Evening News to submit articles. If you cannot write, there will be specialized personnel to receive you and record it based on dictation.
This news was very similar to what Wang Zi'an said that day, but the two people couldn't help but look at each other with a solemn expression.
As former emperors and prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, they knew the power of this seemingly inconspicuous information.
Once this method comes out, I am afraid that there will be no more secrets for His Majesty in Chang'an City.
Everyone will become a secret agent of Datang Evening News, a seamless agent more terrifying than Bai Qisi.
Although it is impossible for these ordinary people to have access to very confidential information, some clues will always be revealed. In the eyes of those in Baiqisi, this information is like fireflies in the dark, unable to escape.
For a moment, the two of them had no intention of talking. They sat in the carriage and carefully read the freshly released Datang Evening News.
No wonder I would rather lose money to run this newspaper!
The two of them felt that they really understood this time!
This newspaper can not only compete for the leadership of public opinion from the aristocratic families, ensure the smooth flow of government orders, and invisibly play the role of purging officials, but can also take the opportunity to grasp the trends and public opinions of Chang'an, and even the entire world!
The emperor is indeed a good man.
Li Yuan suddenly sighed quietly. Now he suddenly felt that maybe his second son was really more suitable to be the emperor than his eldest son.
Ordinary people naturally don't think so much.
But they knew one thing, they seemed to have discovered an incredible way to make money.
Because of this call for papers, no matter whether you can write or not, as long as you have a mouth under your nose, you may make money——
Action is worse than excitement!
Someone has already started to take action——
A news outlet somewhere.
An old gentleman in charge of recording gently placed a few coins in the hands of an unkempt old beggar.
"This is your hard work today - thank you for your contribution today. We are very interested in the information you provided today. It's just a pity that the information you provided is not comprehensive enough for us to use - of course, we are always welcome
Come back before now, once adopted, the reward will be huge..."
He actually gave me money!
The old beggar couldn't help but hold the few copper coins in his hand tightly and nodded vigorously.
"Okay, okay, okay--"
He took a few steps back, bowed with his waist bent, and then ran towards a steamed bun shop with excitement on his face.
Snow-white and soft steamed buns, I have been craving for them for a long time, I must eat them to my heart’s content today!
After the old beggar left, the old gentleman put the message he had just recorded in a special box with a serious look on his face.
As a secret agent of Baiqisi for many years, he instantly smelled something unusual in this news.
Yes, most of the people responsible for collecting information at major newspaper sales points nowadays are Wang Zi'an who borrowed them from Lao Li——
It's not that he couldn't find suitable people, but that as a later man, he naturally knew what it meant to run such a newspaper in this era.
I just want to use my strength to make trouble, but I don't want to fall out with Li Er because of this.
…
Really give me money!
Seeing the old beggar coming out of the newspaper selling point, he took the money and bought the snow-white steamed buns. How could those who were still waiting and watching still hold back?
Swarming up!
The major news outlets were instantly overcrowded.
The spies of Baiqisi were so busy that they had to temporarily set up a few tables and assign all the literate people on the site to their assigned tables.
The same scene was staged simultaneously in different corners of Chang'an City.
…
Chang'an City, Cui Mansion.
The head of the family, Cui Hongzheng, was drinking tea on the ground while listening to the stewards reporting on the family's expenses and income last month.
From time to time he would ask a few questions.
This winter is different from the past. Due to the snowstorm, all the family's businesses have been affected. Of course, the grain store has been affected the most——
There's nothing I can do, I've been tricked!
Who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor could transport food from the Huainan area when the roads were blocked by heavy snow and the rivers were frozen?
When Cui Hong thought about the ice bed and sled that suddenly appeared, his teeth ached with hatred.
"Wang Zi'an, Shuzi——"
If this bitch hadn't created the ice bed and sled, how could people like me have been deceived so miserably!
With the great victory in Mobei, sleds and ice beds finally appeared in the public eye.
At this time, the owners behind these grain stores realized how the emperor obtained the grain in the first place.
Feelings are because someone made this damn thing!
Wang Zi'an, this is the emperor's accomplice who harmed people like him——
Well, this thief is just as hateful as the one who distributed the leaflets in the first place!
Damn it!
But now that Wang Zi'an was directly awarded a title for his merits, they could not find a suitable excuse for the time being. And the thief who distributed the leaflets seemed to have disappeared out of thin air since the last leaflet incident, and even now there is no trace of him.
trace.
Don't let me discover you, otherwise I will make you regret coming to this world!
Cui Hong felt cruel in his heart when he heard his subordinates introduce the current difficult situation of the grain store with a wry smile on his face.
At this moment, he saw his youngest son Cui Zihao rushing in with a roll of paper in his hand.
He suddenly frowned.
This child, who has learned to be frizzy, came to disturb me at this time.
Unexpectedly, Cui Zihao suddenly didn't notice his unhappy look, but bowed directly.
"Father, look at this -"
Cui Zihao said and directly handed over the two newspapers in his hand.
Although Cui Hong was puzzled, he still reached out and took it. He frowned slightly and unfolded it impatiently.
Um--
Um?
Um!
His eyes widened instantly, his nose began to expand, and his breathing began to become heavy.
Cui Hong stood up suddenly.
"Dog thief - I finally caught you!"
Although he didn't read the content, he still remembered the exact same font and exact layout even if it was burned to ashes.
At the beginning, it was this style of thing that spread throughout Chang'an overnight, so that grain shops such as my own had to hold their noses and lower prices. It was also this style of thing that forced me to execute my own son and show it to the world.
Apologize!
I have been searching for so long——
It finally appeared on its own!
Dog thief!
"Where did you find this-"
Cui Hong's eyes were almost red. He almost gritted his teeth and looked at his youngest son word by word.
Cui Zihao was almost confused by his father's question.
Does this still need to be discovered?
Nowadays, Chang'an Avenue is full of them, okay...
He swallowed secretly, a little cautiously.
"Back to my father, they are now on sale everywhere in Chang'an..."
