"What? Is it because the daughter of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has changed her mind after seeing something different??"
"It turns out that Marquis Zhenyuan once took the initiative to propose marriage to Marquis Lanling. Marquis Zhenyuan had a very good relationship with him, so he agreed to the wedding! As a result, when Liang Xiao grew up, he was worried about delaying Nangong Ning and wanted to break off the engagement. As a result, Marquis Zhenyuan actually didn’t even dare to see him!!”
"No wonder when Liang Xiao broke off the engagement in public, the Marquis of Zhenyuan didn't even dare to let out a fart. I was there at the time!"
The streets and alleys are full of people's gossip.
The emperor cannot make arrogant opinions, but a minister of the Ministry of War does not have such great authority and cannot stop everyone from talking.
The rumors became more and more mysterious, and in the end it was even said that Marquis Lanling had saved his life from Marquis Zhenyuan, and Marquis Zhenyuan begged for marriage, but later turned out to be ungrateful.
What's more, it is said that Marquis Zhenyuan later wanted to hug the big tree of Duanmu's family, but he was too embarrassed to find his savior, Marquis Lanling, and regretted the child marriage, so he tried every means to have Marquis Zhenyuan killed!
Another version is that Nangong Ning did not follow the rules of women and hooked up with Duanmu Yunqing during the marriage contract.
In the third version, Duanmu Yunqing fights for love and seduces Nangong Ning...
After Nangong Lei learned about the rumors in the market, his beard trembled with anger.
"Liang Xiao!!"
The contents of Liang Xiao's newspaper were all true, and there was nothing he could do about it.
He couldn't find the source of the rumors that were getting worse and worse!
"Dad, he, his newspapers spread too fast, and there are still newspapers left as text, which can be preserved for a long time..."
Nangong Ning finally started to panic.
At this moment, the Nangong family felt the consequences of the backlash from public opinion.
The spread speed of newspapers far exceeds the mobilization of major aristocratic families, and it is also profitable!
Major aristocratic families arrange for clan members to spread rumors, which also requires time and labor costs. Sometimes they also need to hire some local snakes in residential areas.
Spreading the news about Nangong Ning and Duanmu Yunqing's engagement, and ridiculing Liang Xiao by the way, it took the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion nearly one thousand taels of silver, three days!
Liang Xiao distributed the newspapers at five sales points, but it only took one day to spread the news far beyond human power.
The key point is that ordinary people cannot throw away the newspaper directly after reading it. They will keep it or borrow it from others.
Some scholars who are relatively poor in life learn about the contents of newspapers by borrowing them for a penny a time.
People who bought newspapers also got some blood back by borrowing them, so everyone was happy.
This also virtually strengthens the dissemination of newspaper content, especially in the capital with the most convenient transportation in the world!
Duanmu Yunqing almost fainted after learning about the rumors in the market.
His original intention was to create a grand scene, enjoy the scenery, and step on Liang Xiao.
As a result, now, people all over the city are spreading rumors that he has stabbed someone to win love!
It was obviously Nangong Ning who had an affair with him first!
"You've gone too far! You've gone too far, Liang Xiao!" Duanmu Yunqing was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his handsome face seemed to be deformed.
Tuoba also understood the cause and effect.
"My son is right, these brothers are really arrogant and cannot be together!" Tuoba Lie looked helpless.
Tuoba Jun clenched his fist, pressed it on the third issue of the newspaper, and said in a trembling voice: "Dad, this newspaper's ability to manipulate public opinion is beyond a child's imagination. Dugu Chen and Gong Yangjing are still at least a month away from the capital. I’m afraid it’s too late to conspire in big things!”
Tuoba Lie's heart sank and he asked urgently: "What should we do?"
Tuoba Jun said: "Put away your minions for the time being, don't go toe-to-toe with the Hunjun, and don't rush to confront Liang Xiao, act according to the opportunity. If necessary, you can be good to the Hunjun, donate some money, and bear the humiliation!"
"Endure the humiliation and bear the burden? Is it worth it? Are we looking down on Liang Xiao..." Tuoba Lie said unwillingly.
"Be lenient when expecting an enemy, be strict when defending against an enemy! This Liang Xiao is by no means an ordinary person and should not be underestimated!"
Tuoba Lie looked troubled and nodded.
Liang Xiao held a newspaper in his hand and fell into deep thought.
This public opinion war turned out to be easier than he expected.
Of course, people have been dissatisfied with these aristocratic families for more than a day or two.
The aristocratic families in the capital, headed by the Duanmu family and the Tuoba family, monopolized most of the business in the capital and manipulated prices at any time.
Especially food.
Every time there is a natural or man-made disaster, the price of food can even increase more than ten times!
The skyrocketing price of food after the disaster of moving the capital was the best proof.
But Liang Xiao did not intend to take advantage of the victory and pursue it.
This time, he did win his first victory in the public opinion war, but this was only because those aristocratic families were even more unpopular.
You must conserve your strength and refrain from engaging in public opinion wars unless necessary, so as not to affect the authority of the newspaper!
The big Sunday newspaper has just come out, and a lot of work still needs to be done to improve its authority, authenticity and entertainment characteristics in order to monopolize public opinion.
The mixing ratio of woodblock printing and ink cannot be taught to outsiders either.
Now, at best, he is just a rich man with a family fortune of tens of thousands of taels. His actions are restricted by many factors and he does not dare to take it lightly.
The wealth of those aristocratic families often starts with a million taels of silver.
It is said that the Duanmu family's wealth exceeds 10 million taels, making them as rich as any country!
After Mu Ping read the third issue of the newspaper, he couldn't help but call Mu Qinxue.
"Xiaoxue, are you still my parents' darling?" Mu Ping said with a doting look on his face.
"Daddy, tell me what you have to say, don't be so disgusting." Mu Qinxue warned.
Mrs. Mu slapped her forehead, feeling helpless.
This daughter who is not yet married is already thrown out?
This kid was so good before!
Mu Ping couldn't help but apologize and pleaded: "Can you tell Liang Xiao to prepare an issue to tell the love story between my father and your mother. The material is provided by my father. It must be very touching..."
Mu Qinxue almost fell down!
A newspaper actually exposed his father's face!
Mrs. Mu also blushed rarely and said: "Your father can be so stinky sometimes, and you don't know it. He just wants the people in the capital to know that your father married the most virtuous woman in the world. No matter how hard my mother persuades him, Listen, we can only let him..."
Mu Ping frowned and said: "Xiaoxue, Liang Xiao is the fiancé arranged by your grandfather, but we are your parents! If he is interested in you, it is reasonable to please his future father-in-law, right? As a father, he is actually testing. His feelings for you!"
Mu Qinxue found another opportunity to visit Liang Xiao. She was ecstatic in her heart. On the surface, she pretended to be convinced and sighed: "I really can't do anything about you. I'll go now..."
Late at night, Mu Qinxue came back and said with a blushing face: "He agreed..."
The couple smiled happily.
A newspaper has several thousand words, but less than half of the content is provided by Liang Xiao.
Fortunately, Liang Xiao used homemade charcoal pens and could sketch.
This charcoal pen is far less practical than a pencil, but at least the writing is still clear.
Because the Sunday newspaper had just started, Liang Xiao knew that he had to personally arrange the layout and content, and temporary hard work was necessary.
Late at night, Duan Yunyi was about to go to bed when an urgent report from Xuan Wei came outside.
"My lord! Good news comes from the East China Sea!!"
