marquis of jingan

After seeing off his future father-in-law and fiancee, Shen Yi's life returned to normal. On weekdays, he usually went to work in the mansion newspaper office in the morning. The husband eats and drinks, or goes to Liquan Building to read books, and occasionally goes to see the business of Xu Fu and others.

Because of the mansion report, the business of Huangshi Zhai run by Xu Fu is booming.

However, because of the booming business, it also brought some troubles. The original Huangshi Zhai was run by a family surnamed Zhou. It has been operating Huangshi Zhai in Biguan Lane for nearly a hundred years, and it has been passed down for four or five generations. After selling the shop, who knew that the shop had just started to prosper when it was sold.

This week, the father and son of the Zhou family came to make a fuss, wanting to buy back the shop at the original price, but Xu Fu refused. They even found some Jiankang local rogues, entangled some Jiankang local businessmen, and said that people from Jiangdu came to Jiankang Bullying the Jiankang people and so on caused a lot of trouble in Huangshizhai, and even the inkstones in the shop were smashed a lot.

Xu Fu naturally couldn't cope with this kind of situation.

Ever since, the incident reached Jiankang Mansion.

Although Shen Yi didn't show up in person, he secretly had a drink with Li Mu, the heir of the Prince of Jin. As a result, the father and son surnamed Zhou, together with those troublemakers, were all arrested in the prison of Jiankang Mansion and have not been released yet.

Zhou's father and son paid for the "original price" of the inkstones that Huangshizhai lost.

As Huangshizhai and Xuji Chuanchuanxiang became famous, many Jiankang businessmen saw business opportunities.

People who can do business in Jiankang, especially those who make the business bigger, have some background behind them. Therefore, many people in the officialdom or the powerful class found Shen Yi through various channels.

In just two months, the "Jiankang Famous Store" section of the Dibao Division has received nearly ten thousand taels of silver.

Of course, this is because advertising, a commercial product, has just come out, and the effect is outstanding. In addition, the people who find the Mansion News Agency to advertise are in some high-consumption industries, and the Mansion News Agency has a monopoly position in the industry. Earn so much in a month.

This kind of windfall income will slowly decline in the future until it falls to a reasonable price.

When Jiankang's business sector was slowly maturing, Shen Yi's eyes were not only on Jiankang. He used the money he earned from the newspaper company in the past two months to quickly establish branches in Dachen and other big cities.

Jiangdu was the first to establish a branch, and then Gusu and other cities with a large enough population and a large enough scale.

The purpose of the establishment of these Dibao Divisions is not to engage in intelligence for the time being, but to expand the advertising business in these cities.

The number of each issue of the mansion newspaper is not large, and it does not require a lot of cost. Only one or two printing workshops are needed to add some special content to these mansion newspapers.

Jiankang's residence newspaper has a Jiankang famous store section, so Gusu can naturally have a Gusu famous store section, and Jiangdu can naturally concoct according to the law.

As long as the advertising business expands to all major cities and even all cities in Dachen, Master Shen can collect money with his eyes closed.

However, while expanding the advertising business, the intelligence business in various places must also keep up. The reason why we need to deploy intelligence personnel is not to rush to expand the intelligence business, but because we are afraid that the staff of the newspaper department who go to various places to engage in advertising business will be corrupted...

After all, these people are equivalent to the "General Agents" of the "Advertising Department" of the Mansion News Agency. They must be strictly supervised, otherwise the money in Master Shen's hands will be eaten up by these people.

Just when Shen Si was ambitious to set up a nationwide chain of newspapers, Gao Ming, the elusive eunuch, came to the newspapers again.

When this kind of big secret came, Shen Yi naturally didn't dare to neglect, he personally went to the gate of the Di Baosi and welcomed Gao Ming into his study.

After entering the study, Eunuch Gao took a sip of the tea poured by Shen Yi, without any nonsense, took out some materials from his sleeve, put them on Shen Yi's table, and said: "This is the material collected by the inner guard, Secretary Shen Just remember to write it in the next issue of the mansion newspaper."

Shen Yi rolled his eyes.

It is very common to send materials from the palace, but the materials are usually delivered by Sun Jin, or by a small eunuch, but today the great eunuch Gao Ming personally delivered it, which means...

not simple.

Shen Yi flipped it casually a few times.

Most of it is black information about Pei Yuan, the chief guest officer of the Ministry of Rites. Although Pei Yuan is not a big villain, he has been an official for many years, and he has not been greedy for a penny of the money that should be greedy. Mention, this person is also ashamed of his personal morality, and has done a lot of dirty things in private.

After Shen Yi took a brief look, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

As expected of an inner guard, he is much more professional than the current Dibao Division.

After finishing this sentence with emotion, he looked at Gao Ming with a bitter face, complaining endlessly: "Eunuch Gao, you have already offended the Yang family and the Zhao family when you sent an official article to the mansion newspaper, and even because of this incident, you are in the chicken room. Ming Temple was beaten, and now the matter has calmed down a bit, and the palace has ordered the lower officials to offend Xiang Yang's students..."

"This errand..."

Shen Sizheng said with a wry smile: "It's really impossible for me to go down to this job."

He glanced at Gao Ming, saw that Gao Ming didn't speak, and said cautiously: "Eunuch Gao, why don't you transfer these things to Yushitai or Dali Temple and let them investigate directly?"

Eunuch Gao was closing his eyes and resting his mind, but he opened his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "If I can send Sanfasi, I won't send it to you."

Pei Yuan is a civil servant, and for the civil servant class, he has just made meritorious service.

The credit for being an envoy to the Northern Qi Dynasty.

If the emperor moved him directly at this time, it would cause dissatisfaction among the civil servants, and even the prime ministers of Zhongshu would feel uncomfortable.

But the emperor saw that this person was unhappy, so he could only attack his personal morality through public opinion, and asked him to resign and go home.

Shen Yi glanced at the materials in his hand again, and put down the pick very simply: "Grandpa Gao, I trouble you to forward this to His Majesty, and said that the official is going to become a good scholar in the Imperial Academy. If you can’t do it, please Your Majesty choose someone else.”

"Can't do it?"

Gao Ming stood up from the chair, glanced at Shen Yi lightly, and smiled half-smile: "Since Shen published his own shop on the newspaper of the mansion, he didn't say he couldn't do it for personal gain."

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yi froze.

It's broken, I was doing Huangshizhai's affairs by myself, and the palace found out...

But it's not surprising to think about it, he didn't want to hide it from everyone.

Master Shen coughed unnaturally, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Gao misunderstood. At that time, the lower official wanted to open a new section in the mansion newspaper. He always wanted to find a shop for an interview. He couldn't find anything suitable, so he I can only use a friend's shop for an interview..."

Gao Ming's expression was calm.

"Our family doesn't want to hear about Shen Sizheng's private affairs."

"But the official affairs assigned by His Majesty must be handled by the Palace Reporter."

Shen Yi sighed: "Your Majesty is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. The matter that His Majesty told you, even if it is extremely difficult, I still have to do it. I am afraid that one day someone will die in the street for no reason, and then I will not be able to do errands for Your Majesty anymore."

"Shen Si is rest assured, you will not die."

Eunuch Gao raised his hand high, arched towards the palace, and said: "Your Majesty will naturally take care of you."

Shen Yi was silent for a while, then sighed: "I'm afraid that sometimes, His Majesty is not willing to protect the lower officials."

"That's His Majesty's business."

Eunuch Gao said calmly: "Your Majesty has said that in the future, the payment of the Di Baosi will be increased to 1 taels of silver every month."

Shen Sizheng was overjoyed: "Father-in-law, can the household department approve it?"

Gao Ming glanced at Shen Yi.

"The money will come from the palace's internal funds."

After he finished speaking, before Shen Yi could open his mouth, he continued: "However, half of the income from the Dibao Division will be sent to internal funds."

Good guy, this is tantamount to being a royal investment company!

Shen Yi's smiling face immediately froze.

His nationwide chain of stores has just launched and is about to make a lot of money...

Seeing Shen Yi's ugly face, Eunuch Gao showed a smile on his face.

He reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't take yours for nothing."

"Aren't you going to investigate the Fan family?"

Eunuch Gao looked calm: "The inner guard can help you check, how about it?"

Shen Sizheng let out a foul breath with difficulty, he looked up at Gao Ming, and asked: "After the internal guards have checked, can we do it?"

Gao Ming remained expressionless: "It depends on His Majesty, you and I have no room to comment."

Shen Yi stood there thinking for a long time, finally nodded with difficulty and agreed to the deal.

In fact, there is no way to disagree.

With the big boss, there is no room for bargaining.

"Officer..."

Shen Sizheng lowered his head slightly: "I would like to obey the holy edict."
