Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 198 I don’t want to do this shit anymore

Chapter 198: I don’t want to do this shit anymore

Shi Naian had actually been dead for many years at this time.

Before his death, Shi Naian had actually completed the writing of the entire "Water Margin".

For Luo Guanzhong, the sudden appearance of Ming Dynasty Weekly is undoubtedly the best platform.

Not only can it help teachers become famous, but they can also gain a profit and reputation in the future.

This is undoubtedly a great improvement for him.

After all, he is short of money!

And just when Luo Guanzhong was rushing to Yingtian Mansion with his heart in mind, Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace was picking up today's newspaper with a smile.

During this time, Daming Weekly has sold several issues.

Gradually, Yingtian people have become accustomed to buying a newspaper every week and then reading it carefully.

Then while eating, I had a chat with my grandson and eldest son. It felt really good.

Or simply go to an outside teahouse or tavern, grab a few drinking buddies, and have a quarrel based on the policies, cases, or state affairs discussed in the newspapers.

Hu Weiyong is actually slowly trying to see if he can turn this weekly newspaper into a daily newspaper.

But after thinking about it, it still doesn’t work.

In fact, the information dissemination and information density in this era do not require daily newspapers at all.

If a daily newspaper were published, it would probably become a newspaper specializing in poems, songs, poems, and stories.

After all, how can writing timely articles be so easy?

Moreover, Shiwen is not written randomly, and some policies are not allowed to be discussed.

Therefore, every word and every sentence needs to be carefully considered before writing.

Under such circumstances, if it were to be changed to a daily newspaper, even the author and editor would want to die.

This kind of weekly newspaper is very good right now. It comes slowly and sells slowly.

Moreover, with the expansion of sales scope, the newspaper office has already seen merchants from other places who come specifically to purchase.

In fact, they only want one thing, and that is to be able to reserve a special share of the Ming Dynasty Weekly.

At that time, when an issue of Daming Weekly comes out, they will be able to get the goods immediately and send them to their destination.

This kind of win-win cooperation is of course perfect for Hu Weiyong.

As for whether these newspapers will be sold along the small-profit-quick-turnover route, or the high-quality, high-end route.

What does that have to do with Mr. Hu?

He is just a simple newspaper maker.

He just hopes that Ming Weekly will get better and better, and the more it sells, the better.

Judging from the current situation, today's Daming Weekly, at least within the scope of Yingtianfu, still has a good reputation.

After all, not to mention the novel form, the price is not expensive. For most people, it is just a casual tip.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang is now accustomed to reading the first copy of the Ming Dynasty Weekly every time it comes out.

There were even some articles that he had to think about carefully.

If Hu Weiyong values ​​​​and selects articles in Daming Weekly, the quality will naturally not be bad.

Even if it is written in vernacular, the amount of information and viewpoints there cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, since Zhu Yuanzhang read the first issue, he couldn't put it down.

Moreover, Daming Newspaper is not just about publishing some articles.

At least the various prices inside can be collected quickly and accurately.

These things may pass by at a glance in other people's eyes.

But for Zhu Yuanzhang, these are important indicators that he needs to refer to when he is in power. At the same time, after reading several issues of the newspaper, Zhu Yuanzhang also vaguely discovered a problem.

The appeal of this newspaper is too strong.

Whatever he said above, there will definitely be countless people commenting on this issue in the next week, whether in court or among the people.

It seems that there is no clear-cut statement inside.

But in fact, smart people like Zhu Yuanzhang understood it after just reading a few issues.

Isn’t this the default position?

If both sides' arguments are controlled within a certain range in advance, then no matter what the final winning point is, it won't matter to Hu Weiyong.

Because what he wanted to do has been done.

His point had already been made.

After thinking about this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed instantly.

He can see through this matter. In fact, on the one hand, it is naturally his sensitivity and talent for government affairs.

But on the other hand, it was also because Hu Weiyong had already mentioned this matter to him very early when he came to apply for the Ming Dynasty Weekly.

At that time, Hu Weiyong once said that the Ming Weekly was important in controlling public opinion.

For some things, what kind of disturbances the Ming Dynasty needs among the people, as long as the guidance is in place, such disturbances will definitely occur.

Zhu Yuanzhang is now slowly feeling it.

But a question suddenly occurred to him.

Zhu Yuanzhang can still feel more at ease with Hu Weiyong, who is currently in charge of the newspaper.

After all, Hu Weiyong did everything openly, with nothing to cover up, and his main focus was to be frank.

But what about the next one?

Where will you find such a reliable person then?

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was worried, Hu Weiyong on the other side actually began to secretly ponder this matter.

Mr. Hu is serious about lying down and lying down.

He didn't bring up the affairs of Hongwu Grand Ceremony and Ming Dynasty Weekly just to increase the pressure on himself and make him work overtime.

This is just a means to hold on to the position of prime minister.

But now, if I think about it carefully, it seems that the situation has been solved.

Daming Newspaper is now operating normally and has even begun to make a profit.

According to preliminary calculations this month, in addition to bonuses, a considerable amount of money can be accumulated.

After being led by Hu Weiyong for more than half a month, the heads of various departments and the specific handlers have basically mastered their own work.

Not to mention pioneering and innovation, but there is no problem in maintaining the current working status.

And Wang Guangyang, that true bastard, has now sat on the position of prime minister.

Then the crisis of his most dangerous position as prime minister falling from the sky is gone.

So... Mr. Hu began to think about something.

Can I resign from my position as newspaper chief?

After all, this position may seem inconspicuous, but in fact, as the person in charge of the loudest public opinion mouthpiece in Ming Dynasty, he has a lot of hidden power.

Will people like Lao Zhu get stabbed again over time?

In other words, if you hold such power in your hands for too long, you will inevitably get into trouble.

Simply, it would be better to find a suitable successor as soon as possible and then hand over this bad job!
