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

Chapter 352 Don't Do Anything

"Brother Yun, you just said that you don't need to inform Prince Xing, what... what does this mean? Could it be... Could it be that the prince already knows everything?"

Zhang Cong asked excitedly.

Yan Song also looked at Wang Yun with a flushed face.

In recent years, the officialdom has not been going well, and Yan Song often has some negative thoughts of retiring from the world.

Fortunately, with Zhang Cong's help and tabloid work to do, he would not feel that his time was wasted.

Even though he said that he looked down on everything, as a scholar, especially a scholar who gained fame through the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, who would not want to make contributions and leave a mark in the long river of history!

"The prince has already explained it when the emperor came to Beijing!"

Wang Yun took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"My lord... Your lord already guessed the time?"

Zhang Cong and Yan Song opened their eyes wide in disbelief, this... Could it be that this prince can pinch and count, can the gods be reincarnated?
Think about the things Prince Xing did when he was still Qin Shao.

Opening teahouses and bookstores has an unprecedented business strategy. In a few months, those old bookstores with backstage power can hardly be opened.

The Zhengshutang of Yang Tinghe's family used to be the largest in the capital, but now it has been reduced to only two houses and a few staff.

In the court battle, the emperor had been facing difficulties for so many years that were difficult to solve. He used tabloids, and after a few meetings, the emperor turned over.

Even if those people later set up tabloids to control public opinion, as long as Prince Xing took action, those people would never take advantage of it!

And now their tabloids are not only booming and making money, but also popular in major cities such as Nanjing.

But Yang Shen and his team's "Jokes in the Yandu" have long been unable to make ends meet, and it is said that they can't even pay the printer's wages.

In the past, there were people who contributed articles to their tabloids, and they used high prices to dig out information and contributions from their side. Now their manuscript fees have been reduced, and they have delayed distribution and deducted manuscript fees. They have been suspended for several months.

Before leaving, Prince Xing had already told them that this kind of tug-of-war was going to wear them down.

In order to preserve their strength, "Jinghua Tabloid", "Shangjing Express", and "Yandu Facts" currently mainly focus on entertainment gossip, residential life, and anecdotes in the capital.

This kind of street anecdote is the most attractive to ordinary people on the street, and its appeal is also very strong, which can stick many fans.

Non-political news articles are also reused. One piece of news and three tabloids reported the current commentary from different angles, and internal competition was deliberately caused by many people. Controversy, some people even ordered three tabloids in order to read the three different reports and attitudes .

For the convenience of letterpress printing, they fixed some commonly used words when writing news, reducing the workload of typesetting.

As long as a tabloid is typeset quickly, the more printed, the lower the cost.

Their tabloids cooperate with teahouses, bookstores, and even steamed stuffed bun shops, medicine stores, and grain stores, as long as there is a business, small profits but quick turnover. In today's era of lack of entertainment and information, they are thriving, and the income is still very good.

Yang Shen's "Yandu Jokes" is based on the nature of political debate, and the audience is very limited.

It's the same content over and over again, and those people are arrogant and disdain to write some folk gossip. Even if some people secretly pay attention to writing, if they really put it on the surface, these people will pretend.

And Yang Shen is a noble son, who grew up in a wealthy nest. Because of his cleverness, he was regarded as the son of heaven since he was a child. He strives for perfection in many things.

He doesn't consider cost at all when it comes to tabloid printing and typesetting. He can't delete a word in the articles he writes. Many of the people he invites have the same personality as him. In their eyes, talking about business and money is vulgar.

Under their management, "Yandu Jokes" is indeed striving for perfection, and it can be a collection of works of art. Every edition they make, Zhang Cong has someone buy it and send it to Qin Shao. This is when he is leaving Require.

Zhang Cong didn't have a good impression of Yang Shen, and he sneered at their tabloids, and didn't understand why Qin Shao wanted to collect their tabloids.

Now it seems that Prince Xing of their family had already predicted that their tabloid would go bankrupt, and this was collected in advance!

Everything is within Prince Xing's expectation!

Could it be that the current situation of the emperor and the possibility of Prince Xing becoming the emperor's candidate are also in his expectation?

Thinking of this, Zhang Cong broke out in a cold sweat!
He looked at Yan Song, who was sweating slightly, and the two looked at each other. Zhang Cong knew that Yan Song probably guessed the same as himself.

This... this is too scary!

"Haha, don't be nervous!"

Wang Yun couldn't help laughing.

"My lord said that he doesn't have the ability to pinch and count. It's just that the current situation of the emperor was expected by the lord! Not to mention the lord, you all know who is in charge of the court and who has the final say! Although the lord has no command The ability of thousands of troops, he can also see clearly the affairs of the court. The prince was originally fostered outside, and he didn't know his identity at all. To put it bluntly, if you are not afraid of being surprised, the prince just wanted to take the exam to be a juren. The examination was actually forced by the emperor to take part in it. The prince’s previous goal was actually to be able to reduce or exempt the land rent by getting a name in the imperial examination, to buy more land, and to be a landlord.”

"It's just a coincidence. The prince came to the capital because of the princess. At that time, he knew his identity and only wanted to open a shop to make money. After finishing the business, he returned to Anlu Prefecture. He just got to know the emperor. Seeing the emperor's difficulties, he took it step by step. Helped the emperor. The prince really wanted the emperor to take step by step and slowly take control of the court power, but the emperor was impatient and suspicious of the prince, so the prince had no choice but to continue to help the emperor."

"Although the emperor had suspicions about the prince, and when the emperor encountered danger when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, Xing Wangfu sent two thousand guards to rescue the emperor. At the beginning, he gave Jiang Dudu and the emperor a lot of advice, but the emperor insisted on going his own way and brought himself into those people. Trap, Prince Xing's Mansion was also politicized by those people, although it was temporarily preserved, the old prince..."

Having said this, Wang Yun stopped with a sad expression.

"My lord is the most benevolent and righteous to the emperor! Who else can help the emperor without caring about himself like the lord? Hey! This is also the emperor's life! Now the lord is the most important thing to keep himself safe. By the way, the lord has already Considering the current situation, and the current situation of the emperor, those people are considering the candidates for the new emperor, my lord... Has your lord told us what to do?"

After Zhang Cong and Yan Song listened to Wang Yun's explanation, they actually knew a lot about those things!
Prince Xing is so smart, many things are difficult, and he can basically solve them quickly.

The prince basically takes one step and counts to the tenth step in doing things, so he is too prepared for a rainy day.

Since this is the case, does the prince have any other countermeasures in this situation?Or what they can do!
In this situation, if you can do something for King Xing, who can help Lord Xing become a replacement, who would not go forward bravely?
"My lord told you not to act rashly!"

Wang Yun looked at the two men and said in a solemn voice.

"Do nothing?"

"Yes! Don't do anything!"
