Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 293 Battle of the Tabloids
"Hurry up and write an article to clarify! Otherwise, those rumors will increase, and we will..."

Yang Tinghe said a little irritably.

Three tabloids suddenly appeared, and the news was so detailed, if nothing unexpected, it should be checked by Jin Yiwei.

I have tried my best to be strict with myself these years so as not to be caught by others, but my son, hey!He didn't want his son to marry the salt merchant's daughter before.

Although the daughter-in-law there is beautiful, she is delicate and weak. In such a big family like theirs, how can such a rich son be able to stand up.

"Master, now the tabloid publishes articles every day, and they have to make editions, which consumes a lot of money. The revenue from the book shop and the money spent by the government before are not enough, and more money is needed."

Huang Tong said.

"What? Three or four thousand taels a year is not enough for the revenue of the book store and the support from the government? What about the revenue from selling tabloids?"

"My lord, there is very little money for selling tabloids, and every article has to be printed, and there are papers, and those who write the articles give some manuscript fees. The main thing is to make sheets, and every word has to be engraved. There is no If you make a profit, it would be nice to lose less!"

Yang Tinghe did not expect that running a tabloid would not only make no money, but would cost money.

What Huang Tong didn't say was that fortunately, they didn't sell too many tabloids. In their situation, the more they sold, the more they benefited.

He didn't understand, the other party also prints, don't they print every article?How can people make a profit?
Will they also lose money?

It's just that they have lost a lot of money running this one, and now they have two more, what's going on?

He also wants to control costs, such as streamlining some words in the article.

But their young master disagreed, saying that each word of their articles is worth a thousand gold, and the articles of scholars can be reduced as they say!
Huang Tong was having a headache. The young master of their family could read, but he had never been the master of the family and didn't know how expensive Chai Mi was, so he couldn't listen to his opinions at all. He could only talk to the master today.

Yang Tinghe has not lost money these years, and his family's land property is getting bigger and bigger.

From his heart, he doesn't love money much.

He doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing, his clothes are very simple, and his meals are also very simple.

Yes, he personally does not need any money.

Yang Tinghe felt that when he said this, almost no one believed it.

Many people even think that he is hypocritical, standing and talking without back pain:
You are already the chief minister of the cabinet, besides the emperor, you are the biggest!
No, the emperor is almost under your control now.

In fact, Yang Tinghe didn't lie. He personally spent very little money on himself, and he really didn't need too much money.

But he needs money, and he needs money to do things. He always gives money to those who support him to do things, and others can't do things for nothing.

In fact, everyone is the same, reaching a certain status requires very little money.

But he still needs a lot of money!
Because to maintain his status and let those who support him act faithfully, he must have money!

It's hard to move an inch without money!

Yang Tinghe is like this now, he is also worried about money, he feels that the money is not enough!

When "Jinghua Tabloid" first came out, Yang Tinghe felt that the tabloid was inextricably linked to Zhu Houzhao.

So he encouraged his son to do "Yandu Joke".

In the process of political Zhu Houzhao this time, "Joking in Yandu" really played a lot of roles.

Yang Tinghe felt the power of tabloids for the first time.

Moreover, in the previous contest, "Jinghua Tabloid" was beaten completely and completely defeated.

Huang Tong had previously reminded him that the cost of publishing a tabloid is not low, and it will cost a lot of money.

He has a specialization in the technical industry, and he doesn't know much about the printing industry. He thinks that it won't cost too much money, that is, it will only be a matter of time, as long as he can grasp the leading position of public opinion.

I didn't expect such a big change to happen in just a few days.

Not only did "Jinghua Tabloid" make a comeback, but two more tabloids appeared.

According to their circulation, and the "Jinghua Tabloid" has not been suspended, who has such a large financial resources?
Yang Tinghe has already seen that the three tabloids should be on Zhu Houzhao's side.

Just who pays?Who has such a large financial resources?

Even though Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, he doesn't actually have much private property.

At least compared with Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe felt that Zhu Houzhao was not much richer than himself.

And in the previous battle of Yingzhou, Zhu Houzhao used more than 100 million private properties to compensate those soldiers. He should not be well-off now.

Otherwise, he would not have come back and directly said that he was banned as a general of the state and needed a salary of 5000 shi per day, which indicated that his money was really tight and he needed relief from the court.

Yang Tinghe really wanted to know who is the tall man behind Zhu Houzhao?
Jiang Bin also has some internal officials, all of whom don't know much, and it's okay to flatter them in war, but they definitely don't have such brains!
If it is a civil servant, Yang Tinghe hasn't found any capable civil servant who is not on his side and dares to stand against him!

As for merchants, selling salt and tea is okay, but tabloids like literati probably don’t have that ability. If they really have that ability, they probably would have been officials by imperial examinations long ago, instead of being statusless businessmen!
Who is this tall man?

Yang Tinghe had a headache thinking about it, but he didn't know who this person was!

Could it be that Zhu Houzhao suddenly became very smart?
But that kid is really not stupid, at least he is more thorough than his father, the only shortcoming is that he is too young and impatient, too rigid!
Could it be that after all these years, he suddenly became mature and knew how to hide?

If so, he will have to be careful in the future, no!You have to think of a good plan, or wait for him to become bigger...

"How much money do you need, you go to the accountant to pay first, but be careful and control, there are still a lot of places to spend money at home!"

Yang Tinghe talked to Huang Tong, and then directed him to go out.

Now that we have come to this point, the tabloids can't do it anymore!

"Pay attention to your affairs, and reduce going out recently to avoid being caught by others!"

After Huang Tong went out, Yang Tinghe and his son Yang Shen said.

"Father, don't worry. It's nothing. It's just those people who are ostentatious. I'll write an article to refute it when I get back. Who are those people? They all write crude and tattered articles that don't have any nutrition. They dare to call themselves scholars. They are all rascals... ..."

Yang Shen said angrily.

"You! Don't be too proud, people's words are scary, and rumors can kill people! You said earlier that the Han family was willing to withdraw, so the death of the Han family girl has nothing to do with you. Is it true?"

Yang Tinghe asked again worriedly.

As for his son's marriage, he actually thought that the girl from the Han family was pretty good, and his wife was a good judge of people. After seeing the girl from the Han family, he immediately decided on it, even though he didn't have a good impression of the Han family in Xiangyang.

In particular, although the two masters of the Han family are in the Shangjing court, they are the kind of mud that cannot support the wall.

Everyone's daughter-in-law should not only be well-educated, but also have strong resilience. For example, his old wife is the head of the back house. He doesn't need to worry about all kinds of entertainment. He just needs to focus on the court.

Yang Tinghe also hopes that his son can find a woman like his wife, so that he can make achievements in the court and inherit his mantle.

Later, the son fell in love with a woman from the Zhang family, a salt merchant in Shanxi. The woman followed her father to Beijing, and happened to meet her son. Somehow, she fell in love with her!
Yang Tinghe didn't like the woman of the merchant's family at first, but he really needed Zhang's support at that time, so he acquiesced in private.

Later, when his son proposed that he wanted to marry Mrs. Zhang, Yang Tinghe warned his son to either give up, or find the Han family himself so that they would voluntarily withdraw the engagement.

Later, when he heard that the Han family's daughter was sick, he resigned from the marriage. It was a little strange, but seeing that the Han family didn't say anything, and even flattered him, he didn't care about it anymore.

Now it seems that there is something wrong with him that makes him feel uneasy.

"Father, why don't you believe your son? I swear that the death of the girl from the Han family has nothing to do with me. It was their family who said that the girl was gone, so I went to divorce the engagement. Their family's affairs have nothing to do with me!"

Yang Shen said solemnly.

Yang Tinghe stared closely at his son's eyes.
