The dignitaries who came to Yuexianlou to participate in the mechanical clock auction were only a small number of people in Kyoto, and there were many dignitaries, and wealthy businessmen did not come.

Now, after they saw the beauty of the mechanical clock, they were all moved.

Although the Ming Dynasty court and ordinary people were poor, the high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants and famous landlords were rich.

Most of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty was gathered in the hands of high-ranking officials, landlords, and huge merchants.

This also confirms the 28th rule.

Many high-ranking officials and nobles placed orders with Ye Huai’s business department, all at a price of 2,000 taels of silver per unit.

They booked 1,000 units, and they paid in advance.

Here is 2 million taels of silver to be recorded!

Ye Huai sent half of the silver, as much as one million taels after deducting the cost, to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was very happy, very happy!

He knew that the 'Zhu Machinery Bell Factory' would become his money tree in the future, which would greatly solve his money shortage problem.

Chongzhen specially sent an army to the Zhu Family Machinery Bell Factory to guard it.

After Ye Huai left, Chongzhen made an important decision that night, and he planned to make Ye Huai the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

The crown prince is the heir to the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen felt that no one was more suitable to become the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty than Ye Huai!

However, Chongzhen did not announce it immediately, and he was going to wait for a few more days.

...

Five days later.

Ye Huai’s first issue of the “Da Ming Daily” was issued, with a circulation of 50,000 copies, due to the early publicity effect of the Donggong Commerce Ministry.

All 50,000 copies of the first issue were sold out.

The legendary martial arts novel published by Ye Huai in the "Da Ming Daily" is a small part of the chapters of Master Jin's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

He is a good out-of-context dog, and the martial arts story of that day was cut off at the critical point.

Other parts of the newspapers publish some current affairs news, and the advertising part publishes huge advertisements of "Zhu's Mechanical Bell".

There are exquisite images of the mechanical clock on it, as well as its various characteristics.

In the first issue of newspapers, the reason why Ye Huai published a mechanical clock was because there were no merchants who were willing to publish advertisements in the newspaper.

They did not find that the value of it, and in addition, it is very expensive to publish advertisements in the "Da Ming Daily".

Merchants are all the masters who do not show off rabbits or eagles.

Ye Huai knew that after the first issue of Daming Daily was released, those merchants with a more sensitive sense of business than dogs would find the huge effect of this advertisement.

They will definitely spend money to advertise.

In the current news section, Ye Huai published military conflicts at the border, Chongzhen's views on fighting the enemy, etc., as well as news-worthy events that occurred in Kyoto.

Nowadays, the Daming Daily newspaper under Ye Huai has trained hundreds of reporters, who will collect all kinds of valuable news.

In addition, Ye Huai also decided to wait for the newspapers in Kyoto to be successful and cultivate qualified talents before establishing a branch of Daming Daily in major cities.

Today, the Daming Daily was released, causing a huge response in Kyoto.

Streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants are all talking about Daming Daily.

In the most famous brothel, Tianxian Building, in the capital, a room decorated with exceptionally elegant style.

A girl wearing a white dress, delicate figure, with a scholarly look and beautiful face was sitting in front of the window.

In her slender hand, she was watching a newspaper, which was the "Da Ming Daily".

On the table next to the girl, there was an exquisite mechanical clock, walking "ticking" and "ticking".

This is the mechanical clock produced by Ye Huai's Zhu's Machinery Bell Factory.

The beautiful girl is Dong Xiaowan, one of the eight beauties in Qinhuai. She is also the top courtesan in Tianxianlou. She is good at both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing, and she is not a person who sells her skills but not herself. She is a rare and lovely person.

Dong Xiaowan looked at the newspaper, her delicate lips slightly opened, her voice as gentle as an oriole sings, and exclaimed: "This prince of the dynasty is such a magical figure. I really hope I can be lucky enough to meet him!"

Dong Xiaowan naturally admired Ye Huai, who invented the new mechanical clock and Daming Daily, and admired him!

...

The first phase of Daming Daily was released, which brought high income to Ye Huai.

If the sales volume increases significantly in the future, coupled with advertising revenue, Ye Huai will earn more silver.

It is precisely because of the mechanical clock and newspaper that brought huge income that some greedy ministers were dissatisfied with the prince.

They all advised Chongzhen, saying that the royal family should not compete with the people for profit.

In fact, their purpose was to hope that the prince would stop the mechanical bell factory and newspaper office so that they could get a big advantage and do these businesses.

These dogs and officials are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and serve the country and the people, but their hearts are so despicable and dirty.

Chongzhen naturally ignored them, and he only said: "The prince held the Nine Dragon Golden Order of Taizu in his hand, which could break all ancestral teachings, and I can't control him!"

Those ministers also had no choice but to deal with Ye Huai.

...

Ye Huai also took the initiative to share 50% of the profits of the Daming Daily to Chongzhen to enrich the silk database.

Chongzhen was becoming more and more satisfied with the prince.

That night, Emperor Chongzhen decided to announce the matter of becoming a crown prince to the cabinet ministers.

Wait for the grand dynasty meeting a few days later, and then go through another procedure to formally decide on this matter.

When he said what he was thinking, all the cabinet ministers were quite shocked and surprised.

They did not expect that Chongzhen would become the crown prince so soon.

As soon as this news came out, the mourning King Zhu Cican, the cabinet chief Yan Song and others felt that a catastrophe was about to come.

They couldn't help but feel anxious, like ants on a hot pan.

King Mo Huai was full of anger and hatred, and said, "Gei Master Yan, Your Majesty really wants to make Zhu Cilang the beast as the crown prince. What should we do?"

Yan Song's face was gloomy and turbid, and a terrifying light burst out from his old eyes, but he did not answer immediately.

King Daohuai added: "Gei Master Yan, you have an idea for me. Once Zhu Cilang becomes the crown prince, it will be too late. In the future, if Zhu Cilang ascends the throne, you and I will die without a place to bury!"

Yan Song finally spoke:

"Prince, now Taizu's Nine Dragon Golden Order is still in the hands of the crown prince, and His Majesty is determined to support the crown prince as the crown prince. In addition, the crown prince has performed very amazingly recently, and many ministers in the court will support His Majesty.

As long as Your Majesty holds a grand ceremony, you can confirm the position of crown prince. The situation is very unfavorable to us!"

"I know this, Master Yan, please give me your advice!" King Daohuai said anxiously.

An old Yan Song suddenly appeared on his face, and he said in a cold tone: "Don't do it twice, kill the prince!"

Suddenly, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop a lot, which made people feel goosebumps.

"But Zhu Cilang is so skilled in martial arts and bravest in the world. Even if he wants to kill him, it will not be easy!"

King Mohuai said with concern: "Also, if you want to kill the opponent, you must hit it with one blow, and you cannot leave any clues!"
