Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

However, General Lu did not have this awareness. Although he had never fulfilled his responsibilities as an elder, he relied on his status as an elder and always wanted Jiang Xin, a junior, to respect and flatter him.

If Jiang Xin didn't do this, he would think that this junior was ignorant and was deliberately going against him.

The two servants wanted to remind him, but they were just servants. If they really said so, they would be offending General Lu and they would definitely not end up well.

So the two of them just complained silently in their hearts, but they apologized timidly on the surface, trying their best to show that they had done everything according to the master's instructions. As for why the master's words didn't work on others, they really didn't know.

General Lu got angry out of helplessness and kicked the two servants out, asking them to go look for Jiang Xin again and make sure to find out his current address.

In fact, he had already vaguely felt that his status as an elder might not be as useful as he imagined. At worst, after finding out the place, he would let his wife go there and clear up some misunderstandings, so as to avoid any grudges between them because of unnecessary things.

Originally, when Jiang Xin was just born, he was sent to guard the Western Border. It’s not that he didn’t care about his grandson all these years, but the Western Border was too far away from the capital.

Even if he wanted to care, he was out of reach. If Jiang Xinruo resented him and deliberately got angry with him just because of such a small matter, it would be too ignorant.

Jiang Xin didn't know that in the short period of time since he met General Lu, General Lu had already found countless reasons to ignore him.

Fortunately, he did not really obey and run to Lu's Mansion, otherwise General Lu would have had room to make up his excuses.

At this moment, Jiang Xin and his prince were entertaining the extremely excited Cang Binbai in the palace.

Although the content of "Capital Monthly" made him feel ashamed, he had to admit that his Highness's method was indeed effective and it completely opened up sales in the shortest possible time.

Emperor Kang Yuan was a little worried at first. If the Wei family discovered the special features of the monthly report and tried to stop it, it might not be so easy for them to continue publishing the newspaper.

But now, "Capital Monthly" has exploded in just one day, and everyone is urging them to print more copies and to publish the second issue as soon as possible. The people's voice is so loud that even if the prince's party wants to do something, it is too late.

"Your Highness, please write the sequel as soon as possible. I plan to strike while the iron is hot and publish the second issue of the Capital Monthly at the end of this month." Cang Binbai saw the response from outside and now he is like a chicken with blood, and said excitedly:

"When I came here just now, someone had already contacted our monthly report department to inquire about the specific matters of submission. In the next issue, I plan to publish more articles from ordinary people so that they can believe it. We welcome people from all walks of life to actively submit articles and participate in it.

We will publish an issue every two weeks from now on, and print 5,000 copies of each issue first, and then print more if it’s not enough.”

Cang Binbai is now very optimistic about the prospects of the monthly report department. Looking at the popularity, he feels that even if 10,000 copies are sold at a time, they may be sold out easily.

But this time, they couldn't sell all of them in Jiang Xin's bookstore, as he couldn't handle all of them in one shop.

When the time comes, several bookstores will publish it together. With the current popularity of "Capital Monthly", there will be no worries about not being able to sell it!

"By the way, the circulation of the first issue is really too small. I have asked them to urgently print another 5,000 copies. They can be completed in five days at the earliest." Cang Binbai was very happy. He looked at Xie Ze and Jiang Xin as if he saw two huge gold ingots.

That is natural. The manager of the monthly report department currently has no official position, and the benefit His Majesty promised him is half of the profits.

Cang Binbai was an honest official whose family was not well off. After passing the imperial examination, he did not marry the daughter of a wealthy merchant to alleviate his family's financial difficulties like other ministers.

He and his wife were childhood sweethearts and had experienced the most difficult and tough times together. It was absolutely impossible for him to abandon her after becoming an official.

But with just the little monthly salary he received as an official, it was not easy for his family to live a good life in the capital.

Although he was considered a close minister of the emperor, his wife sometimes had to do some embroidery work to supplement the household income, which unknowingly cultivated his money-loving and calculative nature.

Now Cang Bin watched with disdain the incredible rise of the Capital Monthly. What did this mean? It meant a steady stream of money!

With such an income, he no longer has to let his wife suffer from hardship, and he can also hire a few more servants at home so that his mother and wife can enjoy a peaceful life.

Therefore, apart from the general public who were urging for the second issue to be released as soon as possible, Cang Binbai was probably the most active person in promoting this matter.

However, Xie Ze only glanced at Cang Binbai indifferently, and interrupted his enthusiasm in a particularly cold tone: "There will definitely be a lot of people submitting articles for the second round, so I won't make a fool of myself here."

Cang Binbai: “…”What?

Xie Ze acted as if he didn't notice Cang Binbai's confused expression, and said calmly: "When the first issue of "Beijing Monthly" was published, everyone was new and didn't know much about it. We could have done a better job by discussing it together.

Now that things have been put on the right track, and His Majesty has given you the responsibility for the Capital Monthly, this prince and Ah Xin will not interfere in your business anymore. With the current popularity, you just need to follow His Majesty's instructions and it won't be too bad."

This means giving up the job.

Originally, Ah Xin had to go to the weapons camp every day to discuss the progress of the catapult with the masters. He was almost busy to death. As the boss of the Ministry of War, he also had a lot of things to do.

Regarding the monthly report, His Majesty only gave Ashin a nominal title of deputy, which meant that he did not want them to interfere too much. Emperor Kang Yuan naturally hoped to have complete control over such a tool that could guide public opinion.

One or two issues would be fine, but if Xie Ze put his articles on the front page in every issue, it would sooner or later cause dissatisfaction among Emperor Kang Yuan.

Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't want to write anymore.

"...No." Cang Bin was stunned. He was stunned for a long time before he said anxiously, "But Your Highness, you haven't finished writing that article yet! You...you threw it away halfway through. Aren't you fooling the people? Our monthly report department will be scolded!"

He didn't want to be drowned in the spit of people waiting to see gossip in the second issue just after the first one!
