marquis of jingan

Chapter 332 Apologize
Neither the emperor nor the Ministry of Internal Affairs found any faults, so Shen Yi's first draft passed the review smoothly, and it can be arranged for subsequent publication.

Dibao is not making any money at the moment.

Because the printing cost is relatively high in this era, and movable type printing technology is not yet mature, so the Dibao needs dozens of craftsmen to do it at the same time, so the printing cost is not low. It is used as a mouthpiece, so the price of the mansion newspaper will not be very high when it is sold, so it will not make money overall, and the court has to subsidize it.

However, after Master Shen takes over, the Dibao Division will turn losses into profits completely.

But to make money is to make money, and to be strong is to be strong. It is absolutely impossible to develop into the appearance of Jin Yiwei in another world.

Because the number of Jinyiwei expanded to 10 people at its peak, and with the financial capacity of the Di Baosi, it is absolutely impossible to support that many people.

Because Di Baosi cannot collect protection fees like Jin Yiwei, and the court will not allow them to do so.

Of course, Di Baosi is still in its infancy, and there are only a few ways to make money at present. Now the emperor tacitly allows Di Baosi to develop into an intelligence agency on its own. When this intelligence agency gradually takes shape, there will naturally be other Ways to make money.

After the first draft of the next edition was finalized, the new official, Shen Sizheng, began to call the informants of the Dibao Division for a meeting.

Now in Jiankang City, there are almost [-] people who are responsible for providing information to the Mansion News Agency. These people are all non-staff personnel and have no fixed salary. some money.

And now, the Dibao Division has a new Secretary.

It took Shen Yi almost three days to select nearly [-] young and capable informants from the [-] informants, and took them into the Mansion News Agency, making them full-time employees of the Mansion News Agency. The money kind.

Now that they are regular workers, the upper and lower classes will naturally start to form. Shen Yi did not appoint them directly, but gave these [-] people a one-to-two-month inspection period, and three small flags will be selected at that time. As well as a general flag, the salary will be higher than others.

No matter in which era, obtaining wealth is something everyone is passionate about. With the foundation of treatment, these people are naturally full of energy, and they all pat their chests and promise Shen Yi that they will do well.

These thirty people are the "start-up team" of the intelligence agency of the Dibao Division.

In the next development process, some people in this start-up team will gradually become excellent intelligence personnel or managers, and some people will inevitably fall behind and be eliminated by this team.

These are unavoidable things.

But Shen Yi still needs to do a lot.

To be honest, he needs some professional intelligence trainers to train these newcomers, and he also needs a few more professional accountants to set up the "Du Branch Office" of the Mansion News Agency.

But all of this needs to be done slowly, and it cannot be done in a month or two.

There is no other way for professional intelligence training personnel, but to find them in the internal guards. As for the accountant, let's see if we can find a way to get some professional ones from the household department.

After all, Master Shen has an uncle who is about to be the Minister of the Household Department, and the latter should not be a difficult task for him.

In this way, Shen, who was full of energy, worked in the Dibao Department for four or five days in a row, and finally transformed the Dibao Department into shape. In the next few days, his department did not pay attention to those administrative staff. Instead, people began to search for the Yang family's "black material" and prepared to write Young Master Yang's essay.

Mr. Yang Yang Fan, in Jiankang, can't be said to have done all kinds of bad things, at least it can be said to be notorious. In the past, his father Yang Jingzong monopolized power in the court, so naturally no one dared to gossip about him, but now, the old man Yang Xiang has already retired from Zhongshu, playing chess and drinking tea at home all day, without the protection of the forces in the court...

Too many people are willing to speak ill of the Yang family.

There is no need for professional intelligence personnel at all. In just two or three days, relying on the [-] unprofessional amateur intelligence personnel of the Dibao Division, a lot of dirty material about Mr. Yang has already appeared on Shen Yi's desk.

Shen Sizheng was not polite either, and planned to start writing the Yang family's short composition that day.

Of course, this kind of small composition is full of political manipulation, so it must be reported to the emperor first, and cannot be directly published.

As for the emperor, there was no shortage of black material from the Yang family. As for when the emperor would settle these old accounts, it all depended on the battle on the front line.

The imperial court started fighting with the Qi people in the spring, and the two sides have been fighting for several months. During these months, the frontline conflicts continued, and the battle of Chen Guo was not good.

There are wins and losses, but overall it is a loss.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the court became very delicate.

For example, when the candidate for the empress has not been decided yet, some people are already thinking about the name of the noble concubine of the Northern Qi princess after she enters the palace.

But all of this has nothing to do with Shen Yi, he commutes steadily every day, doing his own things step by step.

until this afternoon.

Shen Yi left the residence early as usual, because the weather was scorching hot, when Shen Yi returned home, he asked the two maids to fetch a basin of hot water and take a hot bath.

After taking a bath, Master Shen stretched his waist and felt comfortable all over. He lay down on the recliner in his yard, closed his eyes, and said lazily, "Qing'er."

The maid Qing'er came over, poured a cup of tea for Shen Yi, put it on the low table beside him, and said with a smile: "My lord, do you have something to order?"

"I received a letter from Jiangdu today. The master is already on his way to Jiankang. He will arrive in Jiankang about the day after tomorrow, at the latest the day after tomorrow. In these two days, you have to clean up the main house of your family. If there is anything missing, you can buy it. Don't wait for my father to come over, you need this or that."

The two-entry house given by the emperor is really not small, with more than a dozen or twenty rooms, but because Shen Yi has elders in his family, he does not live in the largest main house in the north, but lives in the east of the courtyard. In the eldest son's house, the largest room has been vacant and unoccupied.

It's not that Shen Yi is pedantic, it's because his father is still alive, and he is not married, so the rules that should be followed must be followed.

Qing'er responded, nodded and said: "Ping'er and I also clean the main house on weekdays. When the servants go to Dongshi Street tomorrow to buy some things and decorate it, the master can live in it when he comes over."

Shen Yi squinted his eyes and lay on the recliner.

"Someone will send some ice tomorrow. I will use some in every room in the house. It's too hot."

Having said that, he opened his eyes and glanced at Qing'er: "Tell me when the money is gone."

Qing'er nodded with a smile, and was about to speak when there was a knock on the front door of Shen's house.

Shen Yi lay there without moving, Qing'er had already walked over, she didn't rush to open the door, and asked who it was.

A young voice came from outside the door.

"Qingzhou Zhao Zhuo, the sister-in-law has come to apologize to Shen Sizheng."

Zhao clan's ancestral home is Qingzhou.

It is worth mentioning that Qingzhou is now in the hands of Bei Qi and has been lost.

Qing'er turned around, trotted all the way to Shen Yi, and repeated it to Shen Yi in a low voice.

Shen Si was opening his eyes, stood up from the reclining chair, and then looked at the gate of his own courtyard.

He didn't hesitate.

He strode over.
