The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

If he took forceful action and used Jiang Fan's Dayan Army, the people of Daxi, who were originally resistant to the Dayan Army, were taken advantage of by others and accused of Dayan's aggression that harmed the interests of the people. If they were to lead the way, things might be out of control.

Hearing this, Jiang Fan smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, everything is under my control."

Jiang Fan had known this would happen, so he had made full preparations. The personnel sent from Dayan were his means of response.

Li Changle didn't know what Jiang Fan had prepared. When she met the people from Dayan, she was not here. She came with Chunyu Chong and others.

Hearing Jiang Fan say this, she nodded. Although she believed in Jiang Fan's ability, it was impossible for her not to worry before the matter was resolved.

If it weren't for Jiang Fan, she really didn't want to be the empress. Even though she had some abilities, the problem was that without sufficient power support, no matter how talented she was, she wouldn't be able to display her abilities.

At the same time, nearly thirty bookstores in Shangjing City opened their doors, with plaques of the Royal Newspaper Company on them. Someone was shouting in front of the door.

"The newspaper founded by Her Majesty the Empress, reporting on major events in real time, relevant government orders, and vernacular novels, etc. On the first day of opening, newspapers will be given away for free!"

With the shouting, many people were immediately attracted to come over. Seeing that they could get free newspapers, many people started to get them for free.

In a short period of time, the thirty royal newspapers became very busy and their business was booming!

As for the people who received the free newspapers, their thinking was very simple: if there is something free, why not take it!

However, when they saw the contents of the newspaper, all the people were shocked. The newspaper contained a series of decrees.

For example, encouraging commerce, recruiting farmers to open up wasteland, the gambling industry, and opening up special examinations, and even the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Industry, were all clearly written.

The details are clearly written.

When the people in the capital city saw the newspaper, they were immediately in an uproar. They had only heard rumors before, but later, after being led by others, they thought that it might be the Empress and the King of Qin of Dayan who were causing trouble for the country.

But now it seems that they were wrong. Although they were skeptical about the news reported by the Royal Press, the problem is that the news reported by the Royal Press might be true.

Therefore, many people are full of expectations and want to see whether these decrees are true or false.

However, the newspaper only wrote the relevant details of the decree, but did not write the specific implementation time of the decree, which made the people feel expectant but also disappointed.

Of course, the people were more excited than disappointed. They were waiting for a result, and some even wanted to see how the next newspaper would report on the government decree.

Just after the newspaper caused a sensation in Beijing, Huang Lizhi, Ye Zhongzhi and others who were waiting to see the show were suddenly dumbfounded.

They spread rumors to arouse the curiosity of the people first, and then let officials from various departments secretly carry out troubles, just to make the people disappointed in the court.

The people did not know whether the decree was true or false, so they would feel resentful towards the court and the empress, thinking that the empress might be playing tricks on them.

But who would have thought that something called newspapers would suddenly appear and expose the news of their suppressed decree in a short period of time. Now they couldn't suppress it even if they wanted to.

Before, people could only speculate. After all, the people had not seen the government decrees and imperial edicts, and did not know whether they were true or false. They could do whatever they wanted, and could even smear and distort the facts.

But now, the newspaper representing the royal family has appeared, which means that the government decree is true. This means that their rumors and other means have been crippled by more than half.

"Left Prime Minister, what should we do now? That newspaper thing has disrupted all our plans! If we continue to be evasive and not carry out the order, the people will only resent us!"

Shi Qingqiu spoke with an unpleasant expression, Zhou Chengqing and the others also had gloomy faces.

They couldn't figure out how this newspaper came about, and how Jiang Fan and Li Changle came up with the idea of ​​a newspaper.

A few people didn't know that Dayan newspaper was not something rare. Jiang Fan had already distributed newspapers throughout Dayan.

Along with the publication of the newspaper, Jiang Fan also opened a number of free schools in Dayan, and more than 70% of the population in Dayan have become literate.

It was understandable that several people were not familiar with newspapers and were caught off guard by them.

Huang Lizhi looked at the others, feeling annoyed. Now the news has spread throughout Shangjing, and even to the surrounding prefectures.

The news can no longer be suppressed, and if we take action against the Royal Newspaper, we will probably end up in trouble.

"Everyone, we can't suppress the news. However, we can still let them make things difficult for us. If that doesn't work, we can do something behind the scenes and promise them huge benefits! As long as we hold on for a few months, victory will belong to us!"

Huang Lizhi looked at the few people and said.

At times like this, we can only hope to delay. Once the government order is delayed and not completed, the people will lose confidence in the order and in the newspaper's reports. At that time, the newspaper's credibility will be affected, and the royal newspaper will be of no use.

After hearing this, several people could only nod and go find someone.

Although they have resigned, their influence is still there. In addition, most of the court officials have their own thoughts and are willing to cooperate with them. Otherwise, the decrees issued by Li Changle would not have been unable to be implemented until now!

As the newspaper spread, the people of the entire Shangjing were in anticipation. They wanted to see when the government decree could be fully implemented.

At the same time, royal newspapers were opened in several prefectures around Shangjing, and Li Changle's decrees were made known to the people.

Jiang Fan also sent some elite soldiers from Dayan to assist in several prefectures.

The next day, six people led by Chunyu Chong received their own 1,000 elite soldiers and rushed to their respective departments.

Chunyu Chong went to the Ministry of Rites, which was responsible for the grand imperial examination and posting of official documents. The previous Minister of Rites delayed issuing the document on the grounds that the Imperial Examination Hall was under repair.

When Chunyu Chong led his army to the Ministry of Rites, nearly a thousand scholars gathered in front of the Ministry of Rites.

Isn't it for the sake of success and fame that scholars study hard for ten years? The newspaper announced that the special examination would be held, and they came here to wait for the news. They wanted to see if it was true.

Chunyu Chong, holding the imperial edict in his hand, surrounded the entire Ministry of Rites under the protection of a thousand elite soldiers, and asked people to invite all the officials of the Ministry of Rites out.

The Minister of Rites was new to the office. Instead of being grateful to Li Changle, he followed Huang Lizhi's instructions and kept delaying the issuance of the official document for the special examination.

He came here in person today, intending to continue to use the excuse that the Imperial Examination Hall was under construction to withhold the official documents.

However, after seeing the soldiers of Dayan, his face turned green with fright. He could not have imagined that Jiang Fan would actually start to take real action.
