The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 437 Jiangling Daily appeases the old ministers, Fu Shou urges Ma Fu Wan to take office

Liu Xie was really talented. Luo Yuan asked him to play with newspapers. He not only wrote articles but also did simple typesetting and divided the columns. There were special columns for publishing articles, one for scholars to vent their complaints, another for introducing local customs, and even a space reserved for businesses.

Liu Xie said, "I think merchants can also put their own things on it, just like a signboard, write a few words, and people who see it may be interested. What do you think?"

You really know how to do business.

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "That's great. This way, merchants will definitely be happy to ask you to publish their products, and you can make money again."

Those who could read newspapers were mainly the gentry, after all, the literacy rate at that time was touching.

The gentry were high-income people who liked to spend money, so it made sense for them to buy some after seeing the news in the newspaper.

Liu Xie was very happy: "I think this newspaper has great potential and should be a profitable business. If it can be sold to all over the world, it will be even more amazing."

You are dreaming. We don't have the ability to publish a national newspaper now. It would be extremely difficult to publish a Jiangling Daily.

The newspaper is the place that Luo Yuan prepared for the old ministers of the Han Dynasty to spend their retirement. If they have any complaints, they can express them in the newspaper.

Just don't do any series connection.

Those people are just dissatisfied with me and want to interfere in Jiangling's power system, but they are too senior and unwilling to learn, and still want to use the old tricks.

It would be best if Luo Yuan handed over the entire military and political power of Jiangling to them. This would be simply crazy.

It would be better for Liu Xie to be more open-minded, just lie down and listen to Luo Yuan's arrangements.

Seeing that Luo Yuan thought it was okay, Liu Xie said, "Then let's arrange it later. I can't wait to make money."

"One issue every three days, it can't be interrupted."

"Three days?" Liu Xie said helplessly, "I am alone. Even with the help of the queen and the palace maids, I still can't finish it in three days. This newspaper took me many days. How about you come and do it too?"

Luo Yuan was not interested at all: "You still have old ministers of the Han Dynasty to use."

Liu Xie was stunned, then shook his head.

What a joke, knowing that Luo Yuan doesn’t get along with those people, wouldn’t he be making things difficult for himself by using those people?
Seeing Liu Xie shaking his head, Luo Yuan was speechless. Your thoughts are too positive... What's wrong with letting those old guys write a newspaper? It's just a waste of resources.

"Use it, I don't mind."

Liu Xie whispered, "Those people don't get along with you. If they say something they shouldn't say, what if you get angry later?"

Luo Yuan didn't care at all. What could the old ministers of the Han Dynasty say was nothing more than promoting the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. As long as Liu Xie was still there, they could only follow Liu Xie's name.

There is nothing wrong with the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

At most you can scold yourself, what can that do to yourself?
Luo Yuan smiled and said, "I have never said that people are not allowed to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, nor have I ever said that the Han Dynasty is not worth remembering. Your ancestors were also very powerful, this is a fact, and it is also a fact that the Han Dynasty is no longer doing well. Since it is a fact, people should talk about it."

"Commenting on the rise and fall of dynasties can also inspire future generations. They can write articles to promote their own theories and ideas, which is fine. Why should I care?" Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Jiangling is a free world with an open atmosphere."

Luo Yuan had no intention of restricting people's thoughts. The custom of prescribing medicine was part of a country's strength.

Liu Xie sighed: "There is probably no one in the world with a bigger heart than you. I can't be as broad-minded as you."

Luo Yuan thought Liu Xie was joking. What are you competing with me? I am a time traveler and have seen the world.

Everyone has different ideas.

"I have never seen an emperor like you. Let's just make do with each other in this life." Luo Yuan said with a smile.

Liu Xie nodded. A few days later, Jiangling Daily appeared. Liu Xie offered those old officials a job. They could get a fee for writing articles. If they wrote well, they would get a reward.

Those old ministers were already full of complaints, and now they found a place to vent them. They could vent their dissatisfaction and make money to support their families, so they all became busy.

The Jiangling Military Government also published Jiangling's policies on it. The newspaper greatly improved the flow of information.

As soon as Liu Xie's newspaper appeared, the advertisements on it were contracted by businesses.

Cao Jie came to visit the queen specifically and bought a large advertisement to advertise Jiangling Cao's porcelain. Zhen Ji also bought a large advertisement.

The Zhen family in Zhongshan also has needs.

When the local merchants saw this, they immediately followed suit. They were not stupid. Since both the Cao and Zhen families followed suit, it must be that the Military Government was supporting them.

Of course they have to maintain consistency with the Military Headquarters.

Luo Yuan's treatment of the old ministers of the Han Dynasty made other gentry in Jiangling feel relieved. After all, Luo Yuan did not kill anyone, he just beat those old ministers.

Now the old minister no longer complains.

At Fu's house, Fu Wan looked at the newspaper that was delivered to him and his mouth twitched.

There were Zhao Wen's writings on it, more than a thousand words. He calculated that one word was worth twenty copper coins, so Zhao Wen could earn a lot for one article.

For a moment, Fu Wan was tempted. Why not write articles to make money instead of going to Linxiang to be an official?
"Zhao Wen stopped complaining and actually wrote about textual research?" Fu Wan was very surprised after reading Zhao Wen's article.

Fu Shou smiled and said, "They complained before, but then the merchants said they didn't want to read it. If you write those complaining words again, they won't buy the newspaper."

Behind the merchants in Jiangling are the nobles. Who would like to hear others complain? I found it interesting the first time I saw it, and so did the second and third time.

The nobles who bought the newspapers were unhappy.

How can they still live? I spend money to buy information. No one listens to their complaints. These educated people also feel embarrassed.

Then change it. After all, everyone has to make money to eat, and you can really make a lot of money by writing an article. You can make money by writing articles without having to show your face, and you can also save your face.

If the articles you write are not suitable for the market, you deserve to starve to death.

Fu Wan nodded after hearing this: "Your Excellency is more righteous than Cao Cao."

Fu Shou smiled and helped Fu Wan prepare the things for the trip: "My lord is not an ordinary person."

That's not it.

With a wave of his hand, he sent himself to the war-torn area of ​​Linxiang, where he might even die.

Fu Wan was a little worried: "Is it really okay for me to go to Linxiang? Can Zhou Yu not attack Linxiang?"

"Don't worry, Dad. It will be safe." Fu Shou said, "You don't want to go, do you? Dad, you have to go. This is to be an official. Among the old officials of the Han Dynasty, only Dad has the opportunity to serve as an official. This is the opportunity that the Lord has given to our family."

Fu Shou quickly packed up his things, asked someone to prepare the carriage, and stuffed Fu Wan into the carriage: "Dad, take care on your journey. If you need anything, write to me and I'll have someone send it to you."

"I……"

Fu Wan wanted to curse, "How could you urge your own father to leave like this?" But thinking about it, he would leave sooner or later, so he was too lazy to curse Fu Shou.
