I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 380
"Master Hou, are you posting all these?"

Xu Zitong glanced at the young patriarch uncertainly, a little uncertain about Wang Zi'an's thoughts.Wang Zi'an shook his head slightly, and clicked on the article about Mr. Webster's eldest son picking ashes.

"Send this first—"

Xu Zitong glanced at Wang Zi'an in some confusion. Based on his understanding, shouldn't something like this hit the nail on the head?The news criticizing Webster for instructing people to dig the embankment and flood Huainan and Henan is the deadliest and most important.

"It seems that this one is more powerful?"

In order to prevent Wang Zi'an from misunderstood that he was not doing his best, Xu Zitong hesitated for a moment, but still asked.Wang Zi'an glanced at him and smiled slightly.

"The spread of public opinion is not as simple as you think. This time I will personally guide it, and next time I will entrust it all to you. Take a look and think about it..."

Wang Zi'an didn't explain much. It's useless to talk about this kind of thing purely. You have to let him participate in it and see the effect with your own eyes. Only then can he deeply understand the truth.

Seeing that Wang Zi'an had already made a plan, Xu Zitong nodded honestly, and after correcting and finalizing all the information, he handed it over to the engraver for engraving. The newspaper is divided into eight pages of equal size.Several engraving masters carved separately, and after the carving was finished, they were assembled together to form a complete large version.

The entire engraving efficiency has been increased by a full eight times.Engraving, ink brushing, stickers, drying, cutting, under the command of Wang Zi'an, the entire backyard formed a complete assembly line. This division of labor and cooperation made Xu Zitong's eyes wide open. full of awe.

"Perhaps future plans can be slightly adjusted..."

Xu Zitong looked at everything in front of him, and a thought flashed in his mind.Naturally, Wang Zi'an didn't know that he, including his future children, had already fallen into the schemes of others.He led Xu Zitong through the night and went through all the procedures, and then taught Xu Zitong to the side room and invited Xu Zitong to sit with him.

"The process and operation just now can be clearly remembered."

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, this old man will definitely do his best."

Although the first edition of the newspaper has not yet been officially published, Xu Zitong has been engaged in security and intelligence work all his life. After going through this process, he has realized the terrifying power behind this newspaper, and he can't help feeling a little excited.

"How many people do you have?"

Wang Zi'an said something lightly, Xu Zitong couldn't help but froze when he heard the words, he didn't know how to answer.But Wang Zi'an had already waved his hand lightly.

"I have no intention of investigating your strength, but I need a group of capable spies to form a paparazzi team with excellent business. From tomorrow onwards, I want to know exactly the flow and price changes of goods in Datang, and I also need to know The household chores of certain officials or aristocratic families, and even what kind of bellybands their mother-in-law likes to wear..."

Xu Zitong couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words, and his eyes showed shock.But he immediately lowered his head and covered up his gaffe.He just nodded with a serious expression, and promised in a deep voice.

Wang Zi'an's six senses are so keen, he naturally knew that Xu Zitong might have misunderstood something, but he didn't give a special explanation. For this kind of thing, explanations don't work, and it must be proved slowly with time and facts.

He took out the newspaper headline that Li Shimin had inscribed from his arms, and gently threw it in front of Xu Zitong.

"Use this for the title."

After a pause, he added lightly.

"Don't use the seal yet..."

Wang Zi'an turned and left, but he didn't know that when Xu Zitong looked at the seal on the four big characters of "Datang Evening News", his heart was already aroused with turmoil.This newspaper has the endorsement of His Majesty behind it!

The next day, as the bell announcing the dawn from the Chengtian Gate leisurely rang, Chang'an City, which had been sleeping all night, gradually opened its eyes.The gates of the palaces came one after another, the officials went to the court as usual, and the citizens also took to the streets as usual. Chang'an City, which had been deserted all night, became bustling and bustling again. It seemed that everything was no different from the past.

But many people are surprised to find that there are many more ragged clothes in the streets and alleys, holding something similar to a residence newspaper, and hawking along the street.

"I'm selling newspapers, I'm selling newspapers, the latest current affairs highlights, great Confucianism, and all kinds of legendary stories, everything you need, all the newspapers are sold, and only one article is sold..."

"The newspaper is sold, the newspaper is sold, the shocking secret, there is a daughter-in-law who has been picked up by a great scholar, and the identity of the grandson is suspicious—"

……

The first way of peddling was a little normal, but the second way of hawking instantly ignited the raging gossip souls of the people in Chang'an City.

Since ancient times, what kind of news spreads the fastest is naturally the lace news of celebrities and dignitaries.Regardless of whether this kind of news is true or false, it can always become a favorite topic of conversation for the people.Therefore, the newspapers peddled along the street were snapped up almost instantly.

Wei Yueqing woke up early in the morning and went to his father's bedside to greet him personally.However, the father who couldn't move his hands, feet, or speak last night had already got up by himself, but his expression looked a little ugly.

"Father, hello—"

Wei Yueqing couldn't help showing ecstasy. When the family was alive and dead, his father's existence was like a pin to stabilize the sea. If he really lost his father, I'm afraid the current Wei family would soon fall apart and there would be no chance of recovery.

"I'm going to tell everyone—"

Seeing that Wei Changgeng was indeed in good health, Wei Leqing immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly turned around to leave, but was called back by Wei Changgeng.

"No--"

"Why? My lord father suddenly fell ill, and the rest of the branches already have the idea of ​​going out independently, if—"

Seeing that his father would not allow it, Wei Leqing couldn't help showing a deep worry on his face.

"If I can't afford a stroke, the Wei family still has a chance of survival. If you tell me that I've recovered—the Wei family will immediately fall into a situation beyond redemption."

Seeing that his eldest son was still puzzled, Wei Changgeng couldn't help but sighed softly.

"According to the agreement, my father was supposed to spill blood on the streets yesterday, to bear the notoriety of Wang Zi'an's son killing me, but at the critical moment, my father suddenly suffered a stroke, and he recovered without any medicine this morning. Do you think that the five surnames Qiwang and the rest What would the aristocratic family think? With their temperament, I am afraid that they can put our Wei family into a situation where there is no redemption in an instant—that Wang Zi'an is amazing!"

Listening to the old father's words, Wei Yueqing couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.While the father and son were looking at each other, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.Wei Changgeng lay back on the bed without a trace, Wei Yueqing looked out the door.

"Eldest son, something is wrong—"

The butler obviously ran in a hurry, his forehead was covered with sweat.As soon as he entered the room, he took a strange look at his youngest son, then lowered his head, and handed him a paper that was much larger than ordinary mansion newspapers.

"This is a newspaper that suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys early this morning, please take a look..."

PS: In fact, I have considered this plot for a long time. I don’t know how to write it, how to write it properly, and how to grasp the reactions and attitudes of all parties.After repeated scrutiny several times, I found a relatively flattering angle.Hope to get your likes.I'm not good at this kind of intrigue, but I can't avoid the struggle with the aristocratic family, so I can only reluctantly do it.
