Zhu Cixiang has heard a lot of good news these days.
Thanks to Wen Anzhi's efforts, the sample manuscript of the first edition of Huang Ming Morning Post has been sent to Gong Zhu Cihong for review.
Zhu Cixiang was very satisfied after reading the sample newspaper.
Unexpectedly, Wen Anzhi's ability to comprehend was so strong, and he basically realized the usefulness of the newspaper according to his requirements.
Zhu Cihong decided to publish the Huangming Morning News in the territory under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili first to see the response.
After all, the people of Ming Dynasty had never been exposed to newspapers before, and there was still a process of adaptation.
If the response is good, it will not be too late to implement it nationwide.
Wen Anzhi raised some concerns about this, and that was about the issue of newspaper printing.
If the government was solely responsible for printing, it would obviously be impossible to print enough newspapers for the people of South Zhili to read.
But if this task is handed over to the private sector, will it damage the prestige of the court?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Cixi felt that Wen Anzhi's concerns were reasonable.
Even if the imperial court wanted to find people from the public to assist in publishing, it would have to do so without any conditions for admission.
Zhu Cixiang meant to select one or two companies in each prefecture and county to be responsible for co-organizing the publication on a long-term basis, and to explain the principles clearly to them in advance, so that many unnecessary problems would not arise.
Wen Anzhi was very attentive and responsible for the matter assigned by His Majesty, and he immediately started to handle it after returning from the palace.
Because a lot of preparation work had been done in advance, Wen Anzhi made some adjustments and the newspaper could be printed and distributed.
Two days later, there were many people selling newspapers on the streets of Nanjing.
"Uncle Wu, have you read what this Huangming Morning Post is?"
In a small alley near the Qinhuai River, scholar Qin Liguan leaned out half his body and asked.
This morning he kept hearing people selling, and he was very curious.
"Oh, Mr.
Qin, how could I, Old Wu, know things that you don't even know?
Why don't you buy a copy and read it to everyone if it's interesting?"
Qin Liguan nodded and said, "That's fine.
In that case, I'll buy one."
After thinking about it, Qin Liguan put one hand behind his back, walked to the alley, and asked the boy selling newspapers: "How do you sell the Emperor's Morning News?"
"Young Master wants to buy a newspaper.
This is the first time we have published it.
Originally it cost three cents per copy.
It's cheaper.
I'll give you two cents."
Qin Liguan secretly thought that the price was not expensive, so he bought one to take a look.
He took out two copper plates from his money bag and patted them into the hands of the newspaper seller.
"I'll buy one."
The boy immediately happily took out a newspaper and handed it to Qin Liguan.
Qin Liguan took the newspaper and touched it.
There were not many pages in the newspaper, only about ten pages in total, and the paper used was the most common.
He couldn't help but frown.
"Don't worry, sir, our prices are the same.
You can never buy the same newspaper cheaper than mine in Nanjing."
The boy swore, patting his chest and promising: "If you find one that's cheaper than mine, I'll refund it."
"That's all, I just took a look."
Qin Liguan's face turned red and he quickly turned around and walked towards the alley.
"Ms.
Qin, you bought it back."
Wu Youfu, a bun seller, saw that Qin Liguan had an extra newspaper in his hand, and happily took it over.

"Well, what is it talking about?"
"Well, I haven't looked at it yet."
Qin Liguan cleared his throat and said, "Would you like to call everyone here to listen?"
"Okay, I'll call someone" Wu Youfu rushed into the yard and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Do you want to hear what the Emperor's Morning News is talking about?
Qin Xianggong will tell us in person."
After a while, more than a dozen neighbors came over.
Qin Liguan didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
His parents died young and he grew up eating the food of hundreds of families.
Without these warm-hearted neighbors, he would have starved to death long ago, let alone being a scholar.
Most of the neighbors make a living by doing handicrafts and are basically illiterate.
They surrounded Qin Liguan in the middle, eagerly looking forward to Qin Liguan reading the newspaper to them.
Qin Liguan did not hesitate.
He opened the newspaper and read: "Xuzhou Commander-in-Chief Gao Jie led his troops to capture Kaifeng, and the people in the city welcomed Master Wang with joy."
It wasn't long before the news of the great victory in Kaifeng spread back to Nanjing.
Many people didn't know it yet, and they were dumbfounded after hearing Qin Li's recitation.
After a while, someone asked: "Is this true or false?
The imperial army has really recovered Kaifeng."
Qin Liguan nodded and said, "I have heard about this.
Gao Zongrong has indeed recaptured Kaifeng."
"Okay, okay.
I didn't expect that Tatars would also be defeated."
"Hey, they all say that the Tatars are invincible, but now it seems that's the case.
It's all just trumped up."
"Once Kaifeng is taken, the Tatars will probably become restless."
"Huh, if you ask me, I'll go all the way to the capital and drive the Tatars out of the country."
Qin Liguan felt joy for no reason as he listened to the neighbors talking to each other.
"Do you want to hear any other good news?"
"Mr.
Qin, hey, there's some other good news."
"Aunt Du, look at what you said, of course you have it."
"Then tell everyone quickly."
"Why" Qin Liguan responded and continued reading: "The Shence Army defeated Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's rebels outside Dengzhou City.
Jingnan Bo Huangde led his troops to intercept them, and the rebels were all ambushed and executed."
Qin Liguan had never heard this news before, and after reading it, he secretly felt happy.
"These two damned thieves are finally dead."
"Yes, the imperial court and His Majesty treated them well, but they turned out to be ungrateful and launched a rebellion.
They really deserved to die."
"It is said that these two thieves wanted to lead the army to surrender to the Tatars.
Fortunately, Shence Army and Jingnan Bo were brave enough to deal with them."
"This Shence Army is really so powerful."
"You think that they are the emperor's personal army, protected by dragon luck, and they are invincible."
"No wonder, no wonder" Qin Liguan saw it and felt happy in his heart.
The neighbors have not been so happy for a long time, and the court is really doing a good job this time.
"There is also an oracle here."
Qin Liguan found that there was a special section between the two articles, which contained a very brief sentence.

He took a deep breath and read aloud: "The Han and the traitors are not at odds with each other, and the emperor and the Ming are not at peace."
Rather than saying this is an edict, it is better to say it is today's emperor's statement on where the Ming Dynasty will go.
Should we live in peace and contentment for a hundred years like the Southern Song Dynasty court, or should we resolutely expedition to the north and regain China?
His Majesty the Emperor gave a clear answer in the Huang Ming Morning News.
The Ming Dynasty will never settle in the south of the Yangtze River.
Sooner or later, it will fight back to Shenjing and Liaodong.
The Han Dynasty will never destroy the Ming Dynasty, and it will surely last forever :
