Not only merchants are paying attention to this matter, Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Industry has also maintained a high degree of attention to this matter, and also wants to know whether Gu Zhao's article is a special case.

One day, Mr. Zhao specially brought two roast ducks over to invite Gu Zhao and others to eat. The others asked curiously, "Could it be the roast ducks from you? How did Mr. Zhao buy them? We want to go and taste them, but unfortunately we have to wait." There are too many people, there is not so much time to line up, and I have not been able to eat."

Mr. Zhao laughed aloud: "That's because I borrowed the name of Tan Hualang, and the owner of the restaurant specially reserved two for me. The young owner said that it was thanks to Tan Hualang's inspiration that he thought of publishing it in the Beijing News." Advertisement, I put all my eggs in one basket, I didn't expect it to be a big success. Come, come, Tan Hualang's first contribution, this whole one belongs to you."

Gu Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect his name to play such a role, Master Zhao is also narrow-minded.

Mr. Zhao shook his head and said with emotion: "I didn't expect the effect of the advertisement to be so good. I thought that Song Liuyuan and the others would keep losing money to run the Beijing News, but now it seems that there is no need for it."

A director like Gu Zhao said: "The Beijing News is running very well. I also read this issue. I especially like the articles on solving crimes. I also heard something that the Dali Temple seems to want to Dig people over."

"Yes, yes, I've heard that too, and I also heard that adults from other yamen are also interested in publishing articles on the Beijing News."

Gu Zhao also laughed when he heard it. There were articles on criminal investigation in three issues of the Beijing News. Because the writing was wonderful, it was very popular. The popularity was suitable for all ages. Literati liked it, and ordinary people who could not read also liked it. Listen, it is normal for Dali Temple to be alarmed.

Now the articles on the Beijing News are written by the people of the Imperial Academy themselves, but there is no need for him to say that the matter of accepting contributions will definitely be implemented soon. People from all walks of life will join in, which will greatly enrich the content of the Beijing News and increase its readability.

As far as he knew, the author's ambition was also to enter the Dali Temple, and this time he would definitely be able to achieve his goal ahead of schedule.

As for scholars like it, because the scientific examination book has questions about criminal law, and directly puts an ambiguous case. If you are an official adjudicating the case, how should you judge the case, so it is not for hobby, but for the imperial examination. Also have to pay attention.

The emperor is also paying attention to the Beijing News. This is a new thing. The emperor wants to know how far the Beijing News can develop. If it is allowed to develop, the emperor keenly feels that the impact will not be small. North Korea has never engaged in literary inquisition, but it does not mean that there are no taboos.

Sometimes literati are like knives, killing people without blood. Of course, now it is run by people like the Imperial Academy. The Beijing News actually has a certain official nature, so the emperor did not intervene for the time being, but paid attention to its development.

The three issues of the Beijing News were collected. When Yan Xiangxi came from the household department, he saw her father with his eyes closed and asked someone to read the Beijing News to him, so he couldn't help laughing.

The emperor opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Xi'er is here. Listen to the content in this Beijing News. It's pretty good. I heard that this issue of Beijing News also saved a restaurant that was about to close down?"

Yan Xiangxi burst into laughter: "I didn't expect my father to hear about this. It's really good. Ning Yang really likes that gentleman to come to the restaurant. Before the restaurant couldn't open and had to close, he was not happy for a while. Recently, I've been very happy for two days. Father, it turns out that the advertising effect is so good."

The emperor tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, and said: "This is because the Beijing News is running well, and there are many people who read the Beijing News and listen to the Beijing News, so they are willing to experience whether what the Beijing News says is true or not. How many copies did Beijing News sell?"

Yan Xiangxi knew about this: "Because I got 100 taels of ink fee from Junlai Restaurant, this issue of Beijing News is only five yuan a copy, and more than 3000 copies were sold on the first day, plus the subsequent sales. , there should be more than [-] copies in total."

The emperor was surprised: "No wonder there is such an effect, the Beijing News is selling well."

"There are merchants who want to cooperate with the Beijing News to deliver the Beijing News and sell it to other places."

"Good idea, it seems that I still underestimated this Beijing News."

"Song Liuyuan is in charge of this matter, father can rest assured of him."

The emperor nodded. His daughter was right. Putting it in Song Ze's hands was far more reassuring than anyone else's. Next, we can also see what ghosts and snakes want to jump out.

Yan Xiangxi was very relieved, and had no intention of reaching out to the Beijing News at all, because Song Ze was in charge, and Song Ze's position was undoubtedly the same as Gu Zhao's, so she didn't need to worry the least, the other three were the ones who needed to worry. Talent is right.

The emperor was concerned again: "It is Junyue Restaurant that suppresses Junlai Restaurant? Who owns that restaurant?"

To be able to suppress so unscrupulously, it is obvious that there are dignitaries in the capital behind the Grand Hyatt Restaurant, so I don't know who it is.

Yan Xiangxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Father asked the right person. My son just happened to know that the real master behind this restaurant is King Rong."

"It's him?" The emperor was startled.

Yan Xiangxi admitted frankly: "That's right, it's the King of Rongjun. Earlier, my son-in-law saw that the son-in-law was unhappy, so he made a special investigation and thought of helping if he could." This matter was easy for her, " But I didn't expect it to be the restaurant of King Rongjun, so it's hard for my son to reach out."

Who is King Rongjun?By such a coincidence, he is Yan Xiangxiao's father. If Yan Xiangxi intervenes, the father and son will think that they are deliberately troubling them, and may even make trouble in the court. She didn't like it either, so she had to give up.

The emperor asked: "Then, has King Rong come to the restaurant again recently?"

Yan Xiangxi shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. I'm afraid that if the trouble breaks out now, King Rong can't do anything blatantly." After all, Yan Xiangjin and Yan Xiangqi will definitely be watching, they are competitors.

The emperor shook his head. The competition between restaurants and restaurants is irrelevant to him. It is better to pay attention to the follow-up situation of the machines sold by the Ministry of Industry. It is also a good thing that the Ministry of Industry can generate income by itself. The previous research on eucommia gum needs investment.

In addition, he is also worried that the increase in weaving workshops will cause severe fluctuations in the cloth market. At the same time, he is also keenly aware of the issue of female workers involved in it. Gu Zhao's article is so obvious, and spinning and weaving, undoubtedly It is more appropriate to use female workers. Women are careful and fast. Because of his daughter, he paid special attention to the use of female workers.

The three Xiangzi generations couldn't ignore the existence of the Beijing News, especially Yan Xiangxiao, who happened to be there when the shopkeeper of the Junyue Restaurant talked to his father. , I also think that Song Ze and others stretched their hands too far. Don't they know that the owner behind Junyue Restaurant is their Rongjun Palace?If you stretch out your hand knowingly, it is obvious that you don't pay much attention to the Rongjun Prince's Mansion.

Because his son participated in the competition for the emperor's heir, King Rong's self-conscious status has improved a lot. If his son wins that position, it is also possible for him to be named the Supreme Emperor in the future, so he looks down on other people and dignitaries.

So what if Song Ze is the No. [-] Scholar?It's not about working for the royal family, this glorious royal body belongs to you, otherwise, you can only sit on the bench.

Yan Xiangxiao, who was present, immediately stopped him and asked the shopkeeper to retreat first, and then said something to Rongjun Wang earnestly. After all, Xiang Xiao has been in the officialdom for some time, and with the help of his staff around him, he has a lot of thoughts. At this time, the Rongjun Palace is definitely not suitable for making a move. With so many people in the capital watching, once he makes a move, the Rongjun Palace will not end up What a reputation.

"Father, your child's reputation is very important now, and you must not end up with the name of bullying others, so as not to spread it into His Majesty's ears."

King Rong was very angry: "Is this the only way to forget?"

Yan Xiangxiao is not too big-hearted either. Most of the money earned by Junyue Restaurant falls into his pocket, which is used to train manpower and win over officials. Of course, it is not enough. Once the business of Junyue Restaurant drops, the money he gets will It will also reduce a lot, and it will also affect his plan, so how can he be indifferent to this matter.

"Father, of course you can't forget it like this, but you can't do it now. Even if you want to do it, you have to wait for the limelight to pass, and everyone will stop paying attention to this gentleman coming to the restaurant. You can't suppress Song Liuyuan, on the contrary, you have to win over him." Some, after all, Liu Yuan's name is very useful."

"But this man even refused Xiao'er to invite you to drink. Didn't you say that he has a very close relationship with Gu Zhao? Did he already fall to the princess's side?" King Rong said angrily.

Yan Xiangxiao frowned and said, "It's hard to say. Father, don't worry, you have to support him a little bit now. When your son is successful, it's time to settle accounts with them."

King Rong was happy when he heard this: "That's right, but it's just that he can write a few articles. What, dare to ruin my son's good deeds, so that he can't bear it and walk around."

Yan Xiangxiao squinted his eyes and smiled. He never thought that one day he would be so far away from the throne. Although the princess Yan Xiangxi was a threat, Yan Xiangxiao didn't think she would be able to sit there in the end. How dare a woman follow her? Their competition for the throne is simply whimsical and idiotic. Instead of focusing on Yan Xiangxi, it is better to pay attention to Yan Xiangjin, that is his biggest competitor.

At King Ning's mansion, the staff suggested to Yan Xiangjin: "Master, why don't you keep this Beijing News in your pocket. According to my subordinates, this Beijing News has great potential."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Yan Xiangjin asked with her hands behind her back.

"Public opinion, the Beijing News can control the public opinion in Beijing. If we hold the Beijing News in our own hands, then the Beijing News can become a sharp weapon in our hands, guiding the public opinion to our side. When the time comes, the voice of the master The highest, His Majesty also has to consider the voices below."

Yan Xiangjin was excited when he heard that, but worried: "But the Beijing News is in Song Ze's hands. Song Ze's relationship with Gu Zhao is too close. Will he favor me?"

"If Song Ze refuses to be soft and hard, why don't we run the second Beijing News by ourselves and use our own people to do it."
