Chapter 64 "Chaobao" caused a sensation
Wen Mianmian smiled proudly and set her sights on the page that entertained everyone. She had to say that her second cousin was indeed very complex and could write something about any topic. It was quite interesting, but the layout was still different.
It seems a little stiff.
"I'll take it back and show it to my grandfather."
She really worries about her grandfather anytime and anywhere.
Soon after arriving at Hanyuan, the old man saw the newspaper and read it carefully for a while. He took up his pen and illustrated the pictures. The pictures were lifelike. For example, the picture of the wealthy businessman being killed showed a fat man sitting angrily on the coffin board and watching.
Feeling greatly increased.
Wen Mianmian jolted to the next door again.
"My grandfather's painting skills are really impressive. It's quite novel and interesting." Hua Jingyun was even more satisfied with the polished template. "It would be even better if I could draw a portrait of Lord Wang Huan."
Wen Mianmian gave him a thumbs up, "My grandfather is particularly good at painting. If he met Mr. Wang, he would definitely be able to draw a similar look."
"Why don't you take my grandfather to find Mr. Wang yourself, and try to satisfy Mr. Wang."
"But in the future, the adults will have to go to the newspaper office in person for such matters."
Hua Jingyun nodded immediately, "In this case, I will personally visit my grandfather and ask him to paint for the newspaper in the future."
She left as soon as she said so. Looking at her back, Wen Mianmian's mouth twitched slightly. If she had known, she would have let him go in person just now.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them appeared in Hanyuan again. It was the first time for the old lady to see Hua Jingyun. She looked at him carefully and smiled with a smile on her lips. She was very satisfied.
Hua Jingyun was personable and friendly, and he successfully won the old lady's heart with just a few words.
When the old man learned that he had been hired to paint at the newspaper office, he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and nodded very reservedly, "Since the prince likes me, I should do my best."
Hua Jingyun cupped his hands and bowed, "Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa."
The old man hurriedly turned aside and supported him with both hands, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite."
After saying that, he smiled at the old lady and said, "Madam, I am going out for a trip."
The old lady nodded honorably, and then the old man packed up his painting tools and followed Hua Jingyun.
Wen Mianmian stood aside with a smile. This man should really have his own career. Her grandfather's energy and spirit were completely different for such a small job.
"Grandpa is acting strangely today."
The old lady smiled and shook her head. Wen Mianmian took out another storybook and held it close to her, "Grandma, let's read the storybook. Today's one is amazing. The man is a tiger spirit..."
That night, the tired clerk appeared in Hua Jingyun's study. This time, he walked through the small door without being seen by anyone.
"The emperor suddenly reduced the family's support to 30% of the previous amount. At the same time, he ordered people to thoroughly investigate the evidence of the crimes committed by the fifth emperor's uncle and others. The news will be announced to the public tomorrow morning."
Hua Jingyun held the pot and poured tea. The aroma of tea suddenly overflowed in the study. He gently pushed the teacup in front of Wen Mian and said, "Father-in-law uses tea."
Wen Shumian narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, "Is there any handwriting of yours in this?"
As the biggest victim, he acted too calmly, as if he wasn't too concerned about it, but he was clearly the one who started this matter, and it was really weird everywhere.
"Yes." Hua Jingyun said calmly, "Those people are so arrogant that they almost forget that they are human beings. No, they have already forgotten."
"A sudden reduction of 70% will significantly reduce the pressure on the national treasury, which is a good thing for everyone."
Wen Wen Mian suddenly felt that he could not understand this son-in-law, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Hua Jingyun stood up and walked to the clerk Mian, bowed his hands and said, "This action is only for personal grudges. It is not convenient for anyone to know the inside story. I would like to pay my respects to my father-in-law again. Don't let the Fifth Emperor's uncle live."
Wen Wen Mian didn't say anything for a while, and Hua Jingyun didn't get up. It took a long time before Wen Wen Mian reached out to help him up, "You are my son-in-law, and your hatred is my hatred. My father has taken care of this for you."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
The clerk raised his lips and smiled, "Wen Jiajun ordered food and grass, can you think of a way?"
Hua Jingyun laughed and said, "It's exactly fifty thousand kilograms. I want to give it to my father-in-law as a filial piety."
"Very good." Wen Shu turned around and said, "Just rest."
Since they are both his sons-in-law, they naturally have to fulfill their wishes.
Waiting for the person to go away, Hua Jingyun returned to the bedroom and sat there for a moment. Then he got up and came to an empty room. The room was very elegantly decorated. There was a picture of a beautiful woman hanging on the wall. The beauties in the picture were gorgeous but beautiful.
With soft eyes, he stood in front of the painting for a long time...
Qing Lan, who was guarding the door, looked at the bright night sky and sighed quietly. His prince was missing his mother again. If Concubine Yan knew about it, she would also laugh, right?
On the tenth day of July, the first issue of "Chaobao" officially met with the people of Kyoto.
At Wen Mianmian's suggestion, Hua Jingyun found dozens of beggars wandering in Kyoto, cleaned them up, and gave them simple training before starting to work.
"Read the newspaper. Mr. Wang is newly appointed governor of Gyeonggi Province. All his new measures after taking office are in the newspaper..."
"Read the newspaper. A wealthy businessman in the west of the city was brutally killed. Whose hands will the huge amount of property fall into..."
"Sir, please get a newspaper. It's free today. It's very interesting."
"Can this madam be literate? Come and get a copy, Today's Liaozhai: A Scholar's Adventures has a heart that is no longer ancient; a sixty-year-old mother-in-law forces her daughter-in-law to death, and her romantic son is anxious to continue her marriage."
A team of two was responsible for distributing "Chao Bao" on a street. In an hour or so, "Chao Bao" was spread all over Kyoto.
"Free? Let me take a look."
"Of course it's free. The next issue is one penny per ticket. One penny is very cheap~"
People who were attracted by the free money came forward one after another to take one from me and then looked at it with relish.
At the door of the teahouse, a well-dressed man said, "Ouch," "I saw this Mr. Wang on the street the other day, and this painting looks so similar."
"Oh, Mr. Wang is only forty years old. He is really young and powerful. Look at his appearance. He looks respectable and decent."
At the door of the teahouse, several scholars' eyes lit up when they saw what was written above. "Master Wang's new measures are really exciting. Let's go and have a pot of tea and let's take a look."
The boy who distributes newspapers here looks to be twelve or thirteen years old, and he is very smart. He stepped forward and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, our newspaper comes out every five days and costs a penny a piece. If you go and order hundreds of copies,
When you go to the teahouse, customers who order tea can watch it for free, isn’t it true that guests come like clouds?”
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. How much did a hundred tickets cost, and how much did a pot of tea cost? This was a good deal.
“Where to order?”
"It's written in the newspapers. Just follow the address and you'll find it. Our "Chao Bao" is Dongshu's only one, and it was commissioned by the emperor."
"Oh, it's all written in this newspaper. The emperor published this "Chao Bao" in order to let the people understand the various decrees more clearly and for the convenience of the people. This is really a good thing."
"The Emperor is wise and mighty."
