Mu Angdai's second brother Mu Sheng accompanied his sister and brother-in-law to play around, and on the way he talked about the newspaper, and said: "This gives me a headache, to be honest, I don't like the newspaper very much, and the officialdom has long complained about it, but the saint didn't speak." ”

Xu Hao admired the scenery of the lake and said: "Being an official is naturally not happy, but having an industry that supervises officials is the same as the Imperial History and the Six Ministries, which is beneficial and harmless to the whole world." Although today's imperial history is becoming more and more unbearable, and the newspaper industry will follow in its footsteps sooner or later, it can balance one or two after all. ”

Mu Ang said: "I will not object, otherwise my Mu family can't afford to be charged with plotting against Yunnan." ”

Xu Hao smiled: "Yes, you have matured a lot in the past few years. ”

Mu Ningxue was very pleased with this, and smiled at her younger brother who grew up, and he was no longer naughty and disobedient when he was a child.

Mu Sheng took over from his father and brother to guard Yunnan, and Mu Ang was also promoted by Zhu Gaochi to be the commander of the Tongzhi, so that he could train in the Yunnan army.

Mu Ang's changes are very big, and the whole person seems to be extremely calm, so big that even Xu Hao was surprised, it can be seen that the death of his father and brother has a deep impact on him, and he has to be forced to transform quickly.

Mu Ying and Mu Chun's father and son are both heroes, and they both died bizarrely, Mu Sheng Mu Ang can't be without suspicion, so the brothers are now seeking stability in everything and being low-key, especially when they are conscripting and suppressing rebellions, they are sure that they will definitely not send troops hastily, for fear of giving the court a reason to condemn themselves.

The Mu family is getting farther and farther away from the center, so they actively cooperate with Xu Hao's proposition, just to ensure the fundamental interests of the Mu family in Yunnan.

Mu Ang asked, "Brother-in-law, how do you say the government will respond?" ”

"I can't guess that." Xu Hao smiled, "Let's just wait to see a good show, there is never a shortage of capable people in the officialdom, and some have ideas." ”

Sure enough. The county order made the name of the owner of the newspaper and the chief writer very clear, and the largest shareholder turned out to be the Jinling Newspaper, which made Huang Bu political envoy sigh after reading it.

The next day, when it came to the matter, Huang Sheng had nothing to say except sighing, the problem was that this breath was really unbearable, and the dignified court officials were blamed by the people by name, how could it be reasonable.

At the moment, there is a person who participates in politics. said: "Xiaguan has a way, I don't know what the adults want?" ”

Huang Sheng hurriedly asked: "What's the way, say it quickly." ”

The politician said: "The newspaper scolded us, since we couldn't help it, the lower officials thought that we couldn't scold him and surrendered our identity." Why not open a newspaper as well? If you encounter groundless accusations again, it's good to write and scrub yourself. Moreover, there is a ready-made printing office in the city, which can be rented to print newspapers, or simply run some machines from Liaodong. Among the alternate state capitals and counties, there are many people from good backgrounds, as long as a few are selected and asked to make their arguments. When the news is changed, the newspaper is printed, and the provincial and foreign governments, alternate officials, and scholars are all assigned to subscribe to the newspaper. The expenses were deducted from each person's money, so that the newspaper was sold, and the funds were sufficient. It's easier than what they do privately. ”

Huang Sheng nodded frequently when he heard this, and muttered: "Okay, what is written in our newspaper?" Can't you also publish some untimely articles and trivial anecdotes, and the romances of scholars and celebrities, right? ”

He said: "There are many things, the palace newspapers issued by the imperial court, the teachings of the saints, the major and minor affairs of other provinces, the notices of adults and various yamen, and all the official documents to be announced. If you want to do it, the lower official will go down and draw up a charter. ”

Huang Sheng said with a smile: "It seems that you are a veteran of the newspaper hall, the court has repeatedly said in the past two years that the people who scold the newspaper are some Sven scum, and the newspaper scolds the adults of the court and China for being scum Sven, and the trouble was once inextricable, where did you learn this skill?" ”

The political participation blushed and said: "What the lower officials said is an official newspaper, and it was appointed to organize it when I was in Hunan, and it is by no means a people's newspaper. ”

Huang Sheng saw that he was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Let's talk about jokes, don't be too careful." However, although your idea is good, it is obvious that you are competing with the people for profit, so you should not have any suspicion with the local newspaper because of this, and you must consider it before doing it. ”

Unexpectedly, Huang Sheng was scolded even more fiercely in the daily newspaper that day, and Huang Sheng was anxious and told Governor Hu to solve the matter immediately.

Governor Hu pondered, quietly found the big proprietor of the local newspaper, and said: "Now that the government is going to buy the newspaper, you can just ask." ”

The proprietor was stunned and said, "This, my lord, we have several proprietors, and we have to ask the big guy before we can be restored." ”

Hu Zhifu said: "I know, although there are a few owners, there are members of the Beijing Headquarters and Mu Wangfu behind them, but everything in Kunming is up to you, as long as you agree." If you are willing to let it out and resell the newspaper to this official, then the wealth of the share capital will be taken care of by my people, and I will give you another 10,000 taels, I don't know what you think? ”

The owner looked like he didn't dare to refuse with a bitter face, and the meaning of making money from equity capital is the profit and loss of trading, but in fact, he was already smiling in his heart.

It turned out that the cost of opening a newspaper was huge, and the shareholders' money had almost been spent, and the income from advertising in those years was pitiful, and they all relied on scolding officials for selling newspapers, but that was also a drop in the bucket.

Running a newspaper in the circle is a loss-making business for everyone, and of course, all the people who run the newspaper do not mean to be drunk.

In order to maintain the newspaper, the main way is nothing more than to increase the shareholders, since the prefect wants to buy, first, the share capital that has been distributed can be recovered, second, he can take 10,000 taels of silver alone, and third, the future business will be borne by the government, and the shareholders may wish to open their mouths and make more money.

In this way, the owner reluctantly agreed, and Governor Hu was overjoyed and immediately asked him to sign as evidence. Governor Hu asked him when it would be delivered, so he could send someone to receive it, and the owner agreed three days later.

The proprietor signed, and when he went back, he brought the chief writer, manager and others to him, and said, "I don't have to do anything in the past three days, I have already sold this newspaper." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly asked who they sold it to? The proprietor said, "Sold to the government office." ”

Everyone was angry and said: "We also spent money to buy a share of the newspaper, and if you want to sell it, you have to ask us if we are willing to do it, how can you make the decision alone?" ”

The proprietor said unhurriedly: "Everyone, please listen to my explanation, the museum has been open since then." Just losing money doesn't make money, so I have no choice but to sell some shares to maintain, and as a result, I have attracted some indiscriminate people, and the salary cannot be paid in time, and everyone is a little unhappy about it. Now that it has been sold to the government, there is not only a guarantee but also no worries, and everyone's share capital can not only be fully recovered, but also make a profit, why not? ”

When everyone hears this truth, it is nothing more than a change of owner. took the benefits and kept the job, not bad.

Only a few of the main writers invited lost their temper, saying that they were in the same stream with the government, and they had no determination to do things.

As a result, several shareholders came with a salary increase, a salary of three taels of silver per month. It will be increased to fifteen taels next month, and Governor Hu will admit it anyway.

In the face of ideals and reality, several main writers chose reality and didn't say anything. Only one person chose to resign.

In the end, the newspaper was sold to the government, and it was opened for less than two months, spending a total of more than 10,000 taels of silver, but Hu Zhifu spent 46,000 taels. After spending so much money, he thought he was proud, and said to his boss and colleagues: "If I hadn't talked to Mu Wangfu." Where would it be so easy? It is the capture of thieves and kings, this is the trick to doing things. ”

After Governor Hu took over the newspaper, because it was a daily newspaper, it could not be stopped for a day, because it could not hire a suitable chief writer for a while, so among the original few people, he selected a mild-tempered person who paid a high salary of 20 taels of silver a month.

Of course, the purpose of the newspaper must be changed, not only can not be said a single offense, but even the slightest glare must be weighed again.

This can't help but disappoint the chief writer and others, but how dare people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves? At this point, it's impossible to say.

Governor Hu got the matter done, and then told Huang Sheng in detail. Huang Sheng really praised him for his ability to do things, and said that the chief secretary had already had this intention, and it is commendable that you can accept your ambition this time.

He handed over the 12-article charter drafted for political participation to Hu Zhifu, and made it clear that the main writer should not exceed the scope of these 12 articles, and the Kunming Daily was changed to "Yunnan Official Daily".

In private, Lord Huang said euphemistically that he would change all the bad things he said about him and republish them, nothing more than how he was diligent in government, how he loved the people, and how loyal he was.

The orientation party in the school was over, and the school repeatedly assured that there was no bullying of new students, Shen Pu and Shen Xia both had younger sisters, and Wu Baosheng's sister Zhang Lianyi did not come in the end, because Xu Hao was worried that Lianyi's appearance and identity were too special.

After the meeting ended, a group of older brothers and sisters talked for a while, and the Shen sisters wanted to stay and clean up the venue.

Tong Xiaoxian said: "I'll climb the ladder, you can help me sew clothes." ”

Shen Yu was too busy, so he called his sister to come over to help, Shen Jia took the clothes, and said that it was good to be an example for the freshmen, so he looked enthusiastic and diligent, busy sewing clothes.

Tong Xiaoxian looked at Zhile and deliberately said to Mr. Jin: "The protector system is really a good method, which is more useful for encouragement than punishment." ”

A sentence hit Shen Jia, almost pierced his finger with a needle, and raised his head and glared at Tong Xiaoxian fiercely.

Wu Baosheng is not only responsible for taking care of Zhang Lianyi, but also rarely proposes to do more obligations, Mr. Yijin handed over the two boys to Tong Xiaoxian, and Wu Baosheng is also responsible for the two younger brothers.

In the corner, the gorgeous Wu Baosheng looked at the names and hometowns of the two boys, and saw that there was nothing else, and said: "I live in No. 11 of the girls' dormitory in the South Courtyard, and after you live in the dormitory, you can also tell me in my room. Do you hear that? ”

The two boys were so restrained that they didn't dare to look at her, and they didn't say a word, but bowed and turned away. (To be continued......)
