However, because Liu Yao was killed in advance, he could not serve as the governor of Yangzhou.

Instead, he was replaced by Liu Chong, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Ming of Han Liu Zhuang, the great-grandson of King Jing of Chen Liu Xian, the grandson of King Qing of Chen Liu Chong, and the son of King Xiao of Chen Liu Cheng - King Min of Chen in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Unlike Liu Biao and Liu Yan, Liu Chong himself was highly skilled in martial arts, especially in crossbows, and could hit the target every time.

Despite this, Liu Chong's strong strength still failed to change the strong resistance of the Yangzhou clans to him, and almost no clans were willing to support him.

These news quickly spread to Zhang Fu's ears.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "My king, the reputation of the Han clan has been ruined now, all because we slaughtered the clans at the suggestion of Liu Hong!"

In fact, the development of this situation was completely beyond their expectations, although they also had the reason to add fuel to the fire.

At first, they only wanted to whitewash their identities and never thought of slandering the Han clans, but the current development is a good thing.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Guo Jia, Yao Guangxiao, Liu Bowen and many other important ministers congratulated him in unison.

"Hahaha, this is public opinion. Public opinion can crush a person, even if that person is a relative or even the emperor!"

Zhang Fu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smug smile, secretly glad that he had mastered such a powerful force.

He knew the influence of public opinion. It could influence people's thinking and behavior, and even make a person fall from the peak to the bottom.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fu felt a strong impulse in his heart. He felt that he must use this opportunity to consolidate his position.

So, he immediately said: "Now that papermaking and movable type printing have matured, I am going to publish the Ming Daily, which can also be called a newspaper."

Zhang Fu's eyes flashed with determination, and he continued: "It can write the decrees of our Ming Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, as well as many things that have happened."

"In this way, the people can keep abreast of the country's policies and dynamics, and enhance their trust in the government."

"At the same time, this method can also be used to promote the culture and values ​​of the Ming Dynasty and enhance national pride."

Then, Zhang Fu added: "In addition, you can also write some entertaining stories to let the people have some relaxation and fun in their busy lives. . "

"These stories can include myths and legends, historical allusions, etc., which can not only increase readers' interest, but also pass on Chinese culture. "

"In addition, some literati can be invited to write poems and songs to show the literary style of the Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Zhang Fu paused, and a sly smile flashed in his eyes: "Then you can also advertise to merchants. After all, they are all rich people, and you can earn some fees in this way."

"Of course, these advertisements must comply with ethical standards and cannot deceive consumers."

Finally, Zhang Fu concluded: "In short, it must be both interesting and realistic!"

He believes that such a newspaper will surely attract the attention of the majority of readers and become a part of people's daily life.

As for the price of the Ming Daily, Zhang Fu decided to set the price at one penny after careful consideration.

Although this may lead to some losses, he believes it is worth it because doing so can control public opinion and better maintain his dominant position.

And these losses are only losses in the early stage. By the middle and late stages, these losses can be earned back from advertising fees.

After all, once the Ming Daily spreads all over the world, you have to pay to advertise there.

"As long as the Ming Daily spreads all over the world, whoever I want to become a bug that everyone shouts and beats will become a bug, even if it is the Yuan family, who has been a noble for four generations." Zhang Fu said confidently.

He believed that as long as he persisted, the Ming Daily would play a huge role and help him achieve his goals.

"The king is wise!" Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Yao Guangxiao, Liu Bowen and other important officials said in unison.

They can already imagine that once the Ming Daily is published, there will be only one voice in the world, that is, the voice of the king, the voice of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, this weak Han will be in name only, and the world's aristocratic families will live in fear, because their reputation is in the hands of the king.

Everyone excitedly discussed the impact and possibilities of this major decision.

They knew that this newspaper would become an important tool for disseminating information and guiding public opinion, and it would have an important significance for the stability and development of the country.

"Your Majesty, if you want to publish the Ming Daily, there is one more thing you need to do.Do it!" After Liu Bowen finished flattering, he looked at Zhang Fu with a serious expression and said.

Zhang Fu frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "What's the matter?" He knew that Liu Bowen was a man of foresight, and the suggestion he made at this moment must have its deep meaning.

Liu Bowen smiled and said slowly: "Since we have already controlled public opinion, we can also take control of the world's economy. Therefore, I suggest that the king start minting coins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, important officials such as Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Yao Guangxiao expressed their agreement: "I second the proposal! ”

The right to mint coins has always been an important part of state power. It is related to the state's fiscal revenue, economic stability and the ability to regulate the social economy.

If the right to mint coins can be mastered, it will not only enhance the country's economic strength, but also better control the price level, promote trade development, and ensure the sustainability of the state's finances.

After listening, Zhang Fu fell into deep thought. After a moment, he nodded and agreed with Liu Bowen's proposal.

He understood the importance of the right to mint coins to the country, but at the same time, he had to handle it with caution to avoid inflation or other economic problems caused by improper coinage.

So, Zhang Fu decided to set up a special minting agency to design and mint new currencies.

These currencies will be made of copper, silver and gold, corresponding to different denominations of currency units.

In order to ensure the quality and credibility of the currency, the minting process will strictly follow standard specifications and use advanced technical means to prevent counterfeiting.

At the same time, Zhang Fu also ordered to strengthen the supervision of the market and crack down on illegal coinage.

Through severe legal sanctions, the order and stability of the currency market were maintained.

In addition, he encouraged the development of commercial activities, promoted economic prosperity, and provided a solid material foundation for the development of the country.

As time went on, the influence of the Ming Daily gradually expanded, and people's understanding of national policies and current affairs became increasingly in-depth.

At the same time, the newly minted currency was also circulated in the market and was widely recognized and accepted.

This series of measures has enabled the country's economic strength to continue to increase, people's living standards to improve, and social order to be in good order.

In this process, Zhang Fu gave full play to his leadership and wisdom, led the ministers to work together, and achieved national prosperity.

He knew that only by continuous innovation and reform can we adapt to the development needs of the times and keep the country competitive.

Of course, this is all later.
