Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

"BBC Daily? That's really awful and hard to remember!" Li Yuanzhao frowned.

Suddenly, his brow unfurrowed: "In my opinion, we should just call it the Crown Prince Daily, which would save a lot of trouble. What do you think, Lao Fang?"

Seeing Li Yuanzhao willing to take the initiative and take responsibility, Fang Zheng was a little gratified in his heart.

"If Your Highness is willing, that would be wonderful. From today onwards, the Crown Prince will be the president of the newspaper, and I will be the editor-in-chief."

"Time is of the essence. Let's prepare early and get some manpower first."

......

Fang Zheng's speed was very fast. Within three days, he ordered Taoyuan County to transport a large quantity of uncut toilet paper to the capital. All the newspaper reporters, including the newsboys selling newspapers, were also recruited.

The newspaper office was located next to the Banshanfang Si Yamen, which had not yet been officially established. The reason for choosing this location was to facilitate timely communication and resolve unexpected situations.

As for the reporters, they were scholars who usually hung out in the Xiping Corner of Banshan Square. They were directly conscripted, and Shen Yi was among them.

Of course, the scholars still had some opinions, but Fang Zheng didn't care at all.

Watching operas every day? How can you pass the exams?

Come out and work! Isn't a guaranteed job great?

It's already benevolent of me, Fang Zheng, not to ask you for money!

Currently, Fang Zheng was on the second floor of the Crown Prince Newspaper, which had been decorated into cubicles.

A huge banner hung on the main wall, with the Four Sentences of Zhang Zai written on it.

On the edges and corners of the walls were also written things like [Wolfish Team, United as One].

[When work is a pleasure, life is a joy; when work is a duty, life is a drudgery]

[Life is beautiful because of work, and work is happy because of hard work]

[Be content with life, be dissatisfied with learning, and be insatiable with work]

and other various PUA slogans.

Fang Zheng sighed after seeing the decoration. He had finally become the person he hated the most.

How wonderful!

However, a group of scholars curiously looked at the various slogans on the wall.

Their originally pure hearts were obviously stimulated by the overly advanced slogans, and they were eager to try.

They had no idea what the future held for them.

Fang Zheng and Li Yuanzhao stood silently in front, waiting for their excitement to subside.

After a long time, the group finally calmed down.

Shen Yi asked excitedly: "Mr. Sai, Prince Li, can you tell us what you want us to do now?"

Fang Zheng smiled slightly: "This is the newly established institution in the Fang, the newspaper! It's called the Crown Prince Daily!"

"What! The Crown Prince?" Everyone showed a shocked expression.

Fang Zheng pushed Li Yuanzhao to the front: "Let me formally introduce you to everyone. Prince Li, whom you usually see, is the current Crown Prince!"

Shen Yi and the others opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at Li Yuanzhao.

They didn't expect that this warm-hearted person who often helped the people and shouted loudly on the street was actually the Crown Prince?

Li Yuanzhao smiled: "That's right, I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person..."

"This humble subject kowtows to Your Highness!"

A group of scholars knelt down!

Everyone was excited. This was directly working for the Crown Prince. What's the point of studying and taking exams?

This is a great future!

"Rise," Li Yuanzhao said, somewhat displeased.

I haven't finished showing off yet! Why are you reacting so quickly?

Shen Yi stood up and looked at Fang Zheng expectantly, asking: "Then what is Mr. Sai's real identity?"

Fang Zheng said triumphantly: "I am Fang Zheng."

"................"

The crowd was silent. So Ning was the infamous treacherous official Fang Zheng?

Everyone looked at him with strange expressions.

Fang Zheng was angry: "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me!"

Everyone didn't dare to speak. Shen Yi, the leader, braced himself and said awkwardly: "Dare not! Dare not! Lord Fang... there are some rumors about you outside."

"We mistakenly believed the rumors. Today we know the truth, and we are truly ashamed."

After saying that, he bowed down, and the people behind him followed suit.

Fang Zheng's expression softened slightly, and he said righteously: "That's right. I have always been outspoken and dared to advise, so I have many enemies in the court, and countless open and secret attacks."

"Those people have a great influence in the officialdom, so it is reasonable for you to misunderstand!"

"But it doesn't matter! I am doing this for the people of the world, and also to pave the way for your future careers. Suffering some grievances is nothing. Get up."

The crowd got up, all with their heads lowered, not speaking, feeling a little moved in their hearts, as if their chests were blocked.

There was only one thought in their minds: the officialdom is so dark! Such a capable person like Lord Fang is actually being openly framed! Shameful!

Li Yuanzhao looked at Fang Zheng with disdain.

Lao Fang is good at manipulating people's minds. It seems that besides feminism and moral kidnapping, this guy has other skills that he hasn't revealed.

"From today onwards, you are the reporters of the Crown Prince Daily. You must work diligently for the Crown Prince."

"Lord Fang, what is a reporter?" someone asked.

Fang Zheng said loudly: "Good question. Your duty is to be responsible for collecting the big and small things that happen every day among the people, writing them into articles, polishing them, printing them on the newspaper, and distributing them every day."

"Of course, the newspaper will solicit contributions from the people. After selecting good articles, you must also go to verify them, and then follow the same procedure."

"What you are doing is a great thing, upholding justice for the people, and restoring clarity to the world."

"The more detailed rules and the division of labor have been arranged by my staff to train you. Everyone is smart, and I believe one day is enough."

"Don't be afraid of making mistakes. You must explore and improve in your mistakes!"

"The reward is one tael of silver per month. If the news articles you write become popular, there will be special rewards!"

Someone said excitedly: "Lord Fang, can you tell us what the special rewards are!"

Fang Zheng chuckled and took out a shiny thing from his arms: "Diamonds!"

"This is the Crown Prince's treasure! Later, I will reward you with different grades of diamonds according to the popularity of the news."

"However, you cannot hold this thing. After sending it out, you are limited to selling it to people outside the newspaper within three days. The subsequent rewards will also change, so please look forward to it."

A group of scholars exploded.

They didn't expect such a valuable reward. This is the most popular diamond in the capital!

The Heart of the Ocean, which was auctioned at Banshan Square, sold for more than two thousand taels!

Although the popularity has now subsided, there are still many large families buying them. Now, even the smallest diamond can be sold for twenty taels!

However, someone was a little hesitant: "Lord, why are we limited to selling it within three days?"

"There is no reason! The Crown Prince has decided, and the rules set by the Crown Prince are the rules! Do you all understand!"

"Understood!!"

Li Yuanzhao clicked his tongue.

Lao Fang can say whatever he wants. Anyway, I'm used to it.
