a few days later.

"Selling newspapers...for one penny a piece, you can read newspapers, major court events, and Journey to the West. You only need one penny to own them!"

"One penny, you can't buy a penny, you can't buy it, you can't buy it, you can't buy it, you can't be fooled..."

Early in the morning, on the streets of Kyoto.

There are many beggars and children running around the street shouting with some papers in their hands.

The novel and weird words made some people who were curious and not short of money buy a so-called newspaper and read it.

then.

"Shocked!! Secret harem news, what's the truth about Concubine Xiao's death?"

Just opened the newspaper.

At first glance, the person was attracted by the large and extremely eye-catching title, and then he began to read it seriously.

Hearing this, many scholars nearby who heard the words were also stunned.

What the hell?Secrets of the harem?The truth behind Concubine Xiao’s death?

For a moment, the fire of gossip hidden in everyone's hearts burned instantly.

The curiosity in countless people's hearts was aroused.

But when they wanted to read the man's newspaper, the man immediately blocked them.

Helpless, everyone could only buy another copy.

Then Kyoto started to boil.

Various topics in the newspapers began to be discussed in the streets and in restaurants and teahouses.

For example, Concubine Xiao committed suicide because of guilt!

For example, a corrupt official who died in Kyoto actually had 36 concubines!

For example, it turns out that Emperor Li Yunzhou also liked hot pot.

Hey, by the way, what is hot pot?

Ah, this...

Everyone was thinking and curious.

Then there was the Journey to the West in Chapter 1 written in the newspaper, which many people were very curious about.

Then they started talking about the newspaper.

Many people find this interesting.

But at the same time, I feel that the people who run this newspaper are probably stupid. One penny for a newspaper is not enough, right?

Isn't this clear that he is a prodigal?

But of course it soon became clear that Li Yunzhou was responsible for creating this newspaper. Many people immediately shut up.

But these are just ordinary people!

Many powerful people, even people from aristocratic families, don't care about Li Yunzhou's reputation.

They should be sarcastic, they should be sarcastic, and they should be scolded.

Someone raised a question, what is Li Yunzhou doing?

Many people started heated discussions based on this topic.

It was finalized.

That is Li Yunzhou, this foolish king, exchanging money for fame!

Look at how many scandals about corrupt officials are written in this newspaper!

Apart from anything else, if ordinary people know that this thing was written by Emperor Li Yunzhou for them to read.

And it was Li Yunzhou who got rid of these corrupt officials.

Then Li Yunzhou's reputation will definitely be better.

There is also the newspaper's promotion of Li Yunzhou's rescue of refugees, as well as the literary talent shown in the Journey to the West novel.

All kinds of things are showing Li Yunzhou's purpose.

In response, everyone laughed even more.

I feel that Emperor Li Yunzhou is probably a joke emperor who has never been seen before or since.

……

Not even just them.

In the palace at the moment.

Yu Xingmeng also looked at the newspaper Li Yunzhou brought in his hand strangely, and then looked at him strangely.

I really want to ask, what are you drawing?

Is this the way you said to deal with the messenger from the northern grassland?

play?

and also……

I just had a crush on this guy before and thought he was kind of cool, but now?

Do you really think that you will be rich just because you are an emperor?

You don’t know what you were like some time ago, right?

He even went back to his parents' house to search for many treasures to help him, and now this guy is starting to waste his fortune?

A penny...

Paper is more than this price.

Not to mention having to hire people to transcribe it. The weight of the entire Kyoto in a few days, so many newspapers, how many people do you need to hire to transcribe?

Thinking about it, Yu Xingmeng gritted his teeth gently and looked at Li Yunzhou who was looking at him proudly in front of him with a depressed expression.

If this guy wasn't the emperor...

She, she just wanted to beat him up to vent her anger!

So irritating!

"call……"

After thinking for a long time, Yu Xingmeng took a deep breath and smiled: "Your Majesty, you... seem to have gotten rich recently?"

"what?"

Li Yunzhou looked at Yu Xing Meng.

Look at Xiao Yunxi next to her.

Xiao Yunxi directly covered her face with the newspaper, saying that if she read the newspaper again, everything had nothing to do with me.

Li Yunzhou: "..."

Then he patiently explained some things.

Although he doesn't have to explain.

However, he knew that Yu Xingmeng was also doing it for him, so it was better not to misunderstand this thing.

"Huh? Movable type printing?"

Yu Xingmeng blinked in confusion.

Li Yunzhou showed her with some simple things.

moment……

Yu Xingmeng froze on the spot.

She looked at Li Yunzhou in front of her in shock and said nothing for a long time.

This……

Absolutely!

That's all she can say!

Such a simple operation saves the cost of manual transcription without paying high wages to those scholars.

No, this newspaper is still losing money!

Yu Xingmeng frowned slightly and stared at Li Yunzhou.

Li Yunzhou shook his head in confusion.

"Although the newspaper may indeed suffer a small loss in a short period of time, Meng'er believes that I can make a lot of money in a short time. After all, traffic is wealth."

"Besides, Meng'er, don't forget that the main purpose of opening this newspaper is to welcome those guests from the north!"

"So it doesn't really matter whether I make money or not. What I want now is to let the people of Kyoto develop the habit of reading newspapers."
