Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

That night, the newspaper office was still brightly lit with activity.

Fang Zheng and Li Yuanzhao were also present.

The sales figures for the newspaper were compiled, and Fang Zheng was genuinely surprised.

In less than half a day, it had sold out throughout the entire city.

Moreover, according to market research, people from all levels of society were clearly very interested in the newspaper and eagerly awaited the second edition tomorrow.

Currently, Shen Yi and the others in the newspaper office were still frantically writing news for tomorrow, which would be sent to the printing house late at night.

After reviewing the report, Fang Zheng began to inspect the reporters.

Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, Fang Zheng couldn't help but shout, "Brothers, work hard!"

"Your work is your stage in life. Whether you win applause depends on you. If you don't work hard today, you'll be working hard to find a job tomorrow."

"Tell me loudly, are you happy?"

"Happy!!" Everyone raised their heads and shouted in unison, still looking excited.

Fang Zheng's mouth twitched.

Good! Interns are great! Their enthusiasm for work is really high!

"Very good! This official will order a batch of mattresses for you in the future, so you can sleep directly in the newspaper office when you're tired! Work is good, but you must also pay attention to your health!"

"Thank you, Lord Fang!"

Clearly, Fang Zheng's humanized management was very popular.

A group of reporters felt happy in their hearts, the work benefits were really good, and they even got custom-made mattresses.

Li Yuanzhao frowned: "Lao Fang, isn't this a bit too inhumane?"

Fang Zheng had a distressed expression on his face: "Your Highness, it's fine if others don't understand me, but don't you understand either?"

"The early stages of a business are like this! The newspaper is using your name, their good days are yet to come!"

"What's wrong with enduring a little hardship when you're young? Sweating more now is to shed fewer tears later!"

"Besides, nightlife is great! Being able to work here is a blessing!"

Li Yuanzhao looked at Fang Zheng suspiciously, feeling a little strange in his heart.

Fang Zheng also felt very innocent about this matter. There was no way around the current situation. The launch of the newspaper office was too hasty, and there was a serious shortage of manpower and experience. Moreover, the working hours of the newspaper office were tight and the workload was heavy.

Low efficiency could only be compensated for with time.

He could only give these simple-minded scholars more pep talks, and at most, get them some sea cucumber to nourish their bodies.

............

The next day, the daily newspaper was released as scheduled.

As soon as it was launched, it was immediately snapped up.

The ancients, who severely lacked entertainment, flocked to the Crown Prince Daily.

No one expected that they were in the capital, and there were so many new things happening in the city every day that they didn't know about.

Also, what curse did Fuyun Temple suffer??

Everyone picked up the newspaper to look for answers.

Those who couldn't buy it went directly to the newspaper readers to listen to the story.

The next day, Fuyun Temple was still shrouded in various mysteries and negativity.

In just two days, the blood of the high monk had become notorious, and countless people avoided everything related to the blood of the high monk like the plague.

At night, a group of angry scalpers secretly destroyed the newly rebuilt Fuyun Temple.

On the third day, the curse of Fuyun Temple was revealed.

The reason was that the monks did not work and ate vegetarian food all year round, resulting in poor physical fitness and low blood quality. Encouraging labor was the most glorious thing.

Countless people knew the truth and scolded the writers for being shameless and being deceived emotionally, and then flocked to Fuyun Temple to offer incense.

By the time they arrived, they found that all the monks of Fuyun Temple had already returned to secular life......

In three days, the only temple in Banshanfang disappeared without a trace because it approached science.

In the following days, the hot sales of the Crown Prince Daily became more and more intense, and it was finally brought to the court.

Emperor Jing held a newspaper in his hand, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

It wasn't because he had never seen a newspaper before. Emperor Jing received the newspaper on the first day it was published and read it with relish.

But at the same time, he was also a little shocked by the influence of the newspaper. Holding a cautious attitude, he was still observing.

The newspaper he received today had already reached its eighth edition.

The news inside always made his eyes light up. When he was tired of reviewing memorials, reading a newspaper was also a good way for him to relax.

The courtiers below the stage were also silently waiting for Emperor Jing to finish reading the newspaper.

Emperor Jing put down the newspaper and praised: "This newspaper is very innovative. There are so many things happening in the capital that I don't know about. It can be considered an eye-opener."

"Gentlemen, what do you want to say to me today when you bring the newspaper here?"

"Your Majesty, the newspaper is a good thing, but its influence is too great. It should be strictly controlled and a regulation should be drafted."

"I agree. If someone makes false statements and manipulates the people, then a good thing will become a bad thing. Of course, this newspaper is run by the Crown Prince, and we are very relieved."

"The fear is that others can also run newspapers!"

Li Yansong said: "Your Majesty, this newspaper is very good, and we also like to read it very much."

"There are many excellent works by scholars in it that also make my eyes light up, but... what I am worried about is that selling it publicly in the name of the Crown Prince may cause criticism from the people of the world."

Fang Zheng immediately said loudly: "Lord Li's words are biased!"

"This newspaper only costs five coins a piece, it's cheap and good. Such a big piece of paper, plus the cost of ink and labor, is already a loss-making business!"

"This is not doing business, it's charity!"

This time it was very unexpected. Although everyone disliked Fang Zheng, surprisingly no one came out to argue with him.

The reason was nothing else. Although everyone had some opinions, they all liked to read the newspaper, and even vaguely had the idea of wanting to do it themselves.

But they didn't know where to start.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Zheng continued: "Your Majesty, although the newspaper is good, it is also possible that it will be used by those who have ulterior motives, as other colleagues have said."

"I suggest that from today onwards, all new newspaper offices established in the future must be reported to the palace for approval, so as to avoid civil unrest."

"In the future, detailed regulations will definitely be planned, but we are still in the exploratory stage. I will assist the Crown Prince in completing it, and present it to Your Majesty for review in the future."

Emperor Jing nodded, glanced at Li Yuanzhao appreciatively, and then his eyes immediately sharpened.

Li Yuanzhao was still confused. During this period of time, driven by curiosity, he ran around with the reporters every day, and was particularly tired.

The benefits were also obvious. He saw a lot of human evil and all kinds of strange things.

Emperor Jing turned his head and looked at Fang Zheng and said: "Fang Qing is thoughtful, according to Qing's words, in the future, new newspapers established in various parts of the country need to be reported to the palace, and I will personally review them!"

Fang Zheng looked left and right, saw that no one objected, and grinned.

It's time to do some underworld work.

....................

Taoyuan County, Snow Moon Tower.

The martial arts champion Zhou Tie was hugging a woman with a smile on his face, pouring wine into his mouth non-stop.

Suddenly two people broke in from outside the door and shouted as soon as they entered: "Second Brother! There is an urgent letter from Xie Xian for you!"

"What the hell is Second Brother! Zhang Biao is not here, I am the eldest brother! You're so reckless, don't you know how to knock on the door before entering the room!"

Zhou Tie took the envelope impatiently.

He opened it and smiled.

"Hehehe, good! Is it finally my turn? It's a pity that I have unparalleled martial arts but no place to use them! Today I will finally be put to use! Let's go!"

After saying that, Zhou Tie left the woman in his arms and strode towards the door.

The woman was still sitting on the bed shouting: "My lord, come again next time."

Zhou Tie had already walked to the door, turned his head and smiled coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode downstairs.

Then, he stepped on air and rolled down.

The Snow Moon Tower suddenly fell silent, and only the sound of gurgling could be heard.

The two younger brothers on the second floor were completely dumbfounded.

Falling all the way to the first floor, Zhou Tie lay on the ground, his old face flushed, and he didn't get up for a long time.

After a long time, after thinking of an excuse, he slowly supported his upper body and said hatefully: "I was hurt by wine and lust and became so haggard. From today onwards... exercise!"
