Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 791 Restoring Reputation
He didn't even get beaten!

Zhao Kang was suddenly not used to it, and felt a little uncomfortable all over.

Instead, she didn't know how to tell Xiao Linglong and others about Song Qingyan, so she could only leave home in confusion.

Ye Hongxue put down her needle and thread and said calmly: "Look, what I said, beating can't solve the problem, you have to find another way to treat him well by retreating in order to advance!"

"Anyway, what happened has happened, I think it would be better to give him a beating!" Xiao Linglong bared her teeth and crushed the chess piece in her hand.

"Wouldn't that make him feel at ease?"

Ye Hongxue chuckled: "Just listen to me on this matter. Let's all keep a close eye. As long as he runs towards Elizabeth, we will go there."

"I want to see how many times he can go!"

What Ye Hongxue didn't know was that she was doing it right, but in the wrong direction.

On the other side, Zhao Kang left home and walked on the street, always feeling like the pedestrians on the road were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

From time to time, loud, stupid, and obscene noises were made, which made him almost angry to death.

reputation!

You must save your reputation!

If he continues like this, I'm afraid a three-year-old child will scream loudly when he meets me on the street.

How can I go out by myself like that?

Thinking of this, Zhao Kang didn't even think about playing a few games, and immediately came to the county government office in Yangzhou City.

The current county magistrate in the city is named Zhuo Wei, a young man in his early twenties with outstanding abilities, otherwise he would not have been assigned to Yangzhou City.

Hearing that Zhao Kang was coming, he quickly came out to greet him.

"My lord, why are you here? Come in quickly!"

Zhao Kang smiled and nodded, sat down and looked at Zhuo Wei: "Zhuo Wei, how long have you been in Yangzhou City?"

Zhuo Wei said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's been almost three months."

"Oh, the time is not short. It has been such a long time. What do you think of Yangzhou City?" Zhao Kang said while blowing the tea in the bowl.

Zhuo Wei felt a little uneasy. He had been here for almost three months, and to be honest, he hadn't done much.

In the final analysis, these airborne Yangzhou officials are at the mercy of the people in front of them. They can do whatever they are told to do.

It was easy, but Zhuo Wei always felt that something was wrong. After all, he was an official and had to do something for the people!

Thinking of this, Zhuo Wei gritted his teeth and simply gave up: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Oh, you say it, you say it." Zhao Kang put down his tea bowl upon hearing this.

Zhuo Wei had obviously been thinking about it for a long time and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, we and other officials all know that Yangzhou is your fiefdom, and you have the final say on how to govern it. The subordinates only need to follow your orders, Your Majesty." .”

"But I always feel that this is not a good idea. It's a bit... just a word, just in case... just in case..."

After carefully taking a look at Zhao Kang's face, Zhuo Wei sighed inwardly, feeling that his official career should be over.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kang laughed and said, "You want to say that if this king loses his head, then just a few words may cause the people of Yangzhou to have a hard time, right?"

"Correct!"

Zhuo Wei nodded seriously, and then sighed: "The lower official is guilty, please punish me."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kang laughed and said: "What crime do you have? This is obviously a harmless advice to Yangzhou, so why should I punish you?"

Zhuo Wei was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, do you think the official is right?"

"Of course!"

Zhao Kang coughed: "For such a long time, among you officials, you are the only one who dares to speak frankly to me. I am very pleased." Zhuo Wei sneered: "I just want to do more things."

"Tell me what you think." Zhao Kang crossed his legs.

Zhuo Wei was speechless and looked at Zhao Kang: "To be honest, although Xiaguan has a good heart, his ideas are really empty. Under your leadership, Yangzhou has good development prospects now. But this kind of development is not possible for Xiaguan and others. I haven’t learned anything in books before.”

"I always feel that I can't keep up with your thoughts mentally, so I feel very powerless."

"I am very happy that you can tell me directly. How about I find something for you to do?" Zhao Kang said seriously.

Zhuo Wei immediately sat up straight: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"Have you heard of newspapers?" Zhao Kang asked.

Zhuo Wei shook his head: "What is that newspaper?"

Zhao Kangdao: "Newspapers are just like Dibao. They record publishing matters and let the people know about them."

"What's the purpose of this?" Zhuo Wei asked curiously.

Zhao Kang: "Of course, you see, the common people usually have little information and don't know anything about the outside world, and newspapers are used to convey information to the common people! They are used to explore the truth and sell it to the common people."

Zhuo Wei was confused: "Will ordinary people buy this thing?"

"Of course! As long as the news in our newspaper is attractive enough, for example... have you watched football these days?" Zhao Kang asked.

Zhuo Wei coughed a few times and said in embarrassment: "Look...it seems that many people are calling you, Your Majesty, a Dasha X these days. I also bought two lottery tickets, for your Yangzhou pair and His Majesty's royal team. "

"This is not important."

Zhao Kang's face darkened, and then he said: "Since you watched the game and bought tickets, don't you want to know why His Majesty's Royal Team lost?"

"Isn't it true that he can't kick others?" Zhuo Wei wondered.

Zhao Kang sat upright: "Wrong! There is a reason why the Royal Team was defeated in the first round! And we can write this reason in the newspaper and publish it, so that the people know that this is news!"

“For another example, have you ever heard that carrots grow in white radish fields?”

Zhuo Wei was immediately stunned: "How is this possible!"

"Then you want to know?"

Zhuo Wei was already involved: "Of course I want to know, why, my lord, shouldn't white radish grow in the white radish field? How come carrots grow!"

Zhao Kang said seriously: "Look, this is the charm of news! In addition to conveying information, the most important thing for newspapers is to discover the truth!"

"To publish these truths to the public, I have even thought of the news on the first page of the newspaper. Let's go directly to sports news. The headline is like this. Two Royal Yangzhou teams were eliminated and knocked out. Why?"

"Heart-warming! The reason why Coach Zhao, who is reviled by thousands of people, lost the game was because of this incident!"

"Dasha

"Eat sea cucumbers during the day and have private meetings with football babies at night! It's actually this team!"

"Players do it seven times a night. Why do football babies have so many sleepless nights?"

"Shocked! The Royal Team player's secret is revealed, it's him!"

……

Zhuo Wei was shocked and looked at Zhao Kang blankly. At this moment, he felt as if a door had opened.

Zhao Kang said solemnly: "And the thing I want to give you is to run a newspaper agency and sell newspapers! Dig the truth in the world, convey big and small things to the people, make them wise, and even let the people know about the country. Big event! Let the people no longer be ignorant! Let the darkness of the world be exposed to the sun!"

"This is a great cause with great honor! Zhuowei, are you willing?"
