Zhao has been an official for many years, how could he not know the meaning of these old people?
This is to distance yourself from yourself!
"It seems you are Zhao Cheng!"
The people's eyes were fixed on the weak Zhao Cheng.
"Hit me!"
"I'm going to beat those guys too, they're not good people either!"
"right!"
Several sturdy men directly pulled Zhao Cheng and others out of the woodshed.
The people waiting outside the door immediately swarmed forward. No matter who Zhao Cheng was, they would get a beating!
Li Xin and others tried their best to resist, but under the random punches, they could only run away with their heads in their hands!
It was so hard to escape from Zhao Cheng's mansion!
"Rebel! Rebellious. Are these people going to rebel?"
After leaving the doctor's palace, Li Si covered his bloody head and said angrily.
"I think these people are crazy. Your Majesty hasn't made a decision on this matter yet, but they are taking action first!"
"What the newspaper wrote was really clear. Even Zhao Cheng's psychology and expression at the time were described in great detail, as if he saw it at the scene!"
"Judging from today's situation, we have to get rid of this kid as soon as possible, otherwise something like this may happen in our mansion!"
"That's right, the newspaper belongs to that boy, it doesn't matter what he says!"
Li Xin, Feng Jie and others all slipped away along the street towards their homes with bright faces.
"I wonder how my uncle is doing at home?"
Luwan said with a sigh.
"It's good if we can escape with our lives saved. We don't have to worry about so much!"
Thinking about the scene just now, Li Si couldn't help but shudder.
"Then our plan also fell through?"
Li Xin covered half of his face and said dejectedly.
"What a nonsense plan? It's been clearly written in the newspapers. It's probably spread throughout Xianyang City now. Do you think His Majesty doesn't know about it?"
Li Si replied angrily.
"Then our plan is ruined again!"
"That doesn't make sense. Who knows where this kid got the news, and he actually launched a newspaper in advance to publicize it among the people!"
"Alas! Another good opportunity missed!"
"What's the chance? If I hadn't waited until the doctor arrived, I might not have had to endure this beating!"
Feng Jie was holding on to the wall and limping, obviously hurting his leg.
He is already quite old, and his fate is almost decided here!
…
"Young Master, Young Master, the common people gathered to make trouble at Lang Zhongling's house. Not only did they beat Lang Zhongling, but they also took away a lot of his family's treasures!"
After getting the news, Wang Li immediately ran to the other courtyard to find Xiao Zhengtai.
"Well, how about that old guy Zhao Cheng?"
However, Xiao Zhengtai seemed to have expected it and did not show too much surprise. He just nodded lightly.
"Zhao Cheng is dead!"
"Dead? Did the people just beat him to death?"
After hearing the news, Xiao Zhengtai was not calm anymore.
Thousands of people have flocked to the doctor's palace. As long as no one is killed, it doesn't matter what they do. No one can be caught anyway!
But it would be difficult if someone died!
"No...! No, Zhao Cheng was weak. He fell to the ground after two punches. He didn't suffer any external injuries. I heard that at midnight last night, when he heard the housekeeper reporting the loss, he felt excited and palpitated. And die!"
Wang Li reported the situation truthfully.
"What? Death from heart palpitations?"
Wouldn't that make you mad?
"I heard that Li Si and others were also beaten together, and they were all beaten with bruises and bruises on their faces!"
"Hmph! A few people got together and were discussing some bad ideas. They deserve to be beaten!"
Koshota sneered.
The reason why he announced the Dongshan shooting incident was actually that he just wanted to test the power of public opinion.
I didn’t expect the effect to be so good!
The people were so angry that after reading the newspapers, they went straight to their homes and beat them up!
"Young Master, the court won't hold you accountable, right?"
When he first heard the news, Wang Li felt very relieved at first, but then he thought about whether the government would hold him accountable after such a big incident.
"Accountability? So many people are involved, where can we find it? No matter who is found, we can deny it!"
Xiao Zhengtai smiled with a relaxed expression.
"Huh? That's right!"
Wang Li's eyes lit up.
With so many people participating, where can you find them?
"Young Master, a thousand copies of today's newspapers have been given out for free. Do you want to give them out again tomorrow?"
"I won't send it...! Not only will I not send it, but I will also increase the number of publications!"
Koshota answered decisively.
"Young Master, the people in Xianyang City are not very literate. Many of them take them back to their families and neighbors to help them read. If it is changed to a fee tomorrow, I guess they will not buy it. It will be difficult to increase the number of publications. Sold out!”
When he heard that the quantity was going to be increased, Wang Li's face immediately twitched.
These one thousand copies were given away after they persuaded them. They will start charging tomorrow. How can anyone buy it?
"Just go ahead and do it with confidence. Even if we add a thousand more copies tomorrow, it probably won't be enough to sell...!"
Xiao Zhengtai was full of confidence, and then continued: "I will put up a notice later to recruit newsboys to take care of food and housing. For every thirty newspapers sold, I will be paid one penny!"
"Newsboy...? He just sells newspapers?"
Hearing this new word, Wang Li was stunned for a moment, and it took him a moment to react.
"That's right!"
"But...why do we need children to sell newspapers?"
"The young labor force has to join the army, farm, and support their families. Selling newspapers is a waste of labor. Children are weak and farming can't help much. Selling newspapers is just fine, and they can make money for the family without any effort. Kill two birds with one stone!"
Xiaozhengtai explained the purpose, and Wang Li suddenly realized it.
"Young Master is so thoughtful!"
Wang Li cupped his hands in admiration.
"I wonder how much the young master wants to price the newspaper?"
"Three pieces of paper each!"
"Three Wen? Doesn't that mean we are still losing money?"
"It doesn't matter, the newspaper's benefits are long-term!"
Xiao Zhengtai waved his hands indifferently. Anyway, he still has a bookstore, and he will make back the money he lost sooner or later.
But public opinion must be in your own hands!
At the same time, it is also to popularize knowledge to the people and improve their quality of life!
"That's done, I'll do it right now!"
Anyway, he couldn't understand the twists and turns in the young master's mind in a short time, so he should just follow the young master and do things honestly.
Early the next morning, Ying Zheng got up and practiced martial arts before going to have breakfast.
Usually at this time, Jingfu would hand him some bamboo slips with political affairs written on them and let him eat while reading them.
Although now I have switched to paper, this habit has not changed!
When he stretched out his hand, Jingfu handed him a newspaper!
"Your Majesty, the young master told me that this is the first newspaper in Da Qin!"
