The other awards of the Exiled Immortal Award are still under heated review.
And Fu Yao used this stock style to completely expand the newspaper.
He even recruited a group of down-and-out nobles to compile the news they heard on the street. An issue comes out every two or three days. After it is released, it is immediately sold on the street.
Newspapers are very cheap, costing a penny each, but the advantage lies in their large quantity, so Fu Yao's daily income is extremely considerable.
The people of Xianyang have gradually become familiar with the form of newspapers.
They are willing to pay to read newspapers. This thing is good. It can not only eat melons, but also help with literacy. After reading it, it can also be used as toilet paper.
Although after the patent on papermaking was released, the price of fairy paper has become extremely low. But for ordinary people, they are really reluctant to spend money to buy toilet paper.
The emergence of newspapers perfectly solved this problem. One piece of paper can be used for many purposes.
Today's newspapers are selling like hotcakes because the newsboy's hawking is so attractive.
The newsboy shook the newspaper in his hand and shouted: "Dr. Chunyu has sued again. Dr. Chunyu has sued this newspaper."
Anyone who has some spare money wouldn't want to buy a copy and take a look?
After buying the newspaper, these people took one look and immediately became happy.
It turned out that after Chunyu Yue read the newspaper yesterday, he was half angry to death. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't swallow it, so he took the newspaper into the palace and sued Fu Yao for the newspaper.
News from the palace would not have come out originally. But Fu Yao was a prince, lived in the palace, and was one of the parties involved, so he knew very well. He immediately sent a young eunuch to tell the story of the incident, and then the printing house printed the newspaper overnight.
It is said that Chunyu Yue burst into tears in front of His Majesty and must ask Fu Yao for an explanation.
After Ying Zheng read the newspaper, he called Fu Yao with a livid face.
Fu Yao looked innocent and said to Ying Zheng: "What is written in this newspaper is the discussion of the people of Xianyang, and not a single word is made up. If I don't publish this newspaper, the people of Xianyang will have no respect for Dr. Chunyu." Does slander no longer exist?”
Chunyu Yue was stunned for a while when he was asked, and it took him a while to come up with a rebuttal: "The Xianyang people's slander against me was originally discussed privately in twos and threes. But after this newspaper came out, I became a big man who was criticized by thousands of people." Evil person."
"So, isn't this newspaper, Young Master, adding fuel to the flames and helping the evildoers do evil?"
Fu Yao said: "Doctor, this is wrong. Do you think that without my newspaper, the problem would not exist? This is obviously a cover-up."
The two argued endlessly, and finally Ying Zheng decided to forcibly buy a stake in Fu Yao's newspaper. At the same time, he selected several courtiers to discuss a charter as soon as possible, which would stipulate the principles of the content published in the newspaper. You must not violate the law or violate public order and good customs.
Fu Yao didn't have any objections and accepted it openly.
Chunyu Yue still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Although on the surface it seemed that he had won a lawsuit in front of the emperor.
But...but my reputation is still really damaged.
Chunyu thought more about it, and then said to Ying Zheng in great pain: "Your Majesty, the young master's report may have been an unintentional mistake. But this businessman named Zhou Gui is simply a malicious frame-up."
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement: "Such unruly people are really abominable."
He raised his voice and said to the outside: "Come here, arrest this Zhou Gui. No matter what method you use, you must find out the truth."
"I would like to know who is behind this Zhou Gui. What is his purpose in framing Dr. Chunyu?"
The guard outside agreed and then hurried away.
Chunyu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the matter was settled.
Da Qin may have some shortcomings in other things, but when it comes to arresting people, it is absolutely unprecedented.
It is impossible for a little Zhou Gui to escape His Majesty's search.
However... Zhou Gui really escaped.
The guards sent out by Ying Zheng rushed to nothing.
In response, Ying Zheng was furious and sent additional manpower. The person must be arrested and brought to justice within a twelve-hour deadline.
Zhou Gui's ability to escape stems from the businessman's keen perception.
That night, after he framed Chun Yuyue for two thousand dollars, he couldn't sleep well.
Zhou Gui knew that the clay figurine was still very angry, and no matter how generous Chunyu Yue was, he probably would not allow others to slander him wantonly.
What's more, Chunyu Yue values face the most.
The more Zhou Gui thought about it, the less at ease he felt, so he quietly lurked near Chunyu Mansion.
Anyway, he wanders on the street all day long, and sleeping on the street is common as long as the weather permits.
This time, Zhou Gui stared at the gate of Chunyu Mansion for a long time.
As a result, after dawn, he saw Chun Yuyue coming out with an angry face, and then went straight to the palace.
Zhou Gui's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
To be on the safe side, Zhou Gui greased the soles of his feet and slipped away.
As for his family... Zhou Gui was not particularly worried, and Wang Wan would not kill a few women and children to vent his anger. At most they will suffer a little.
Besides, I can hardly save my life. As for my family, let’s discuss it later.
The guard responsible for arresting Zhou Gui was originally from the State of Yan, so his name was simply called Yanren.
At first, Ying Zheng gave him ten people to capture Zhou Gui.
After Zhou Gui slipped away, Ying Zheng gave him another three hundred men.
But the Yan people knew that three hundred people might not be enough to capture Zhou Gui within twelve hours.
No one knows how long Zhou Gui has been running away. If he were in the city and he just found a place, how would he find it? Is it a door-to-door search?
This is Xianyang City, who doesn’t have a few powerful relatives?
If Zhou Gui left Xianyang City, it would be even harder to find him.
Woods, wasteland, even mass graves. Just hide for a moment, and twelve hours will pass.
Therefore, Yanren felt that his head was a little unstable.
He did not blindly send out three hundred men, because the Yan people felt that now they were looking around like headless flies, getting twice the result with half the effort. It was better to think carefully about what should be done and have a plan, which might give them a chance of survival.
So, the Yan people called all three hundred of their subordinates, and everyone expressed their opinions and worked together to think of a solution.
Soon, they reached a consensus: this was an impossible task.
Later, they reached a second consensus: there is only one person in the world who can complete this task, and that is to banish the immortal.
So the Yan people hurriedly went to visit the banished immortal.
Before going, Yanren was still a little uneasy, worried that he would not be able to get in without 100,000 yuan.
But after informing him of his name, Li Shui let him in directly.
After all, these guards looked prosperous and worked directly for the emperor. In fact, they were also supporting the family, and their financial situation was not as good as imagined.
The 100,000 yuan was set up by Li Shui to rob the powerful, not to plunder the people.
Yanren entered Shangjun's Villa for free, which was enough to move him to tears.
After meeting Li Shui, Yanren saluted repeatedly and then explained his dilemma.
After hearing this, Li Shui smiled slightly and said to the Yan people: "What's so difficult about this? Just relax and wait for a few hours in my Shangjun Courtyard. This Zhou Gui can't escape far."
Later, Li Shui ordered people at the printing house to make a wanted notice.
There were such things as wanted warrants before.
The painter drew an image based on the witness's description. This image is cruder than a simple drawing, and it was drawn based on the witness's description and the artist's imagination. Needless to say, its accuracy is not guaranteed at all.
What really works for this kind of wanted poster is some description, such as a mole on the face, injuries on the legs, a limp when walking, etc.
There is also Da Qin’s strict transmission system.
This kind of wanted notice can catch people, but it is not enough for the Yan people to catch people within twelve hours.
The wanted notice produced by Li Shui's people focused on Zhou Gui's photo.
When Fu Yao published the newspaper before, he took a photo of Zhou Gui, and now it comes in handy.
On this piece of paper, most of Zhou Gui's photos were taken up. There were a few lines of words below, briefly describing some of Zhou Gui's characteristics, and then added: Anyone who can provide clues about this person, once confirmed, Reward five thousand coins. Anyone who can capture this person and deliver him to the government will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand yuan.
Subsequently, thousands of copies of this wanted notice were printed at an extremely fast speed.
Li Shui handed the wanted order to the Yan people and said with a smile: "Send your three hundred people to spread this wanted order. As for the reward above, you can figure it out yourself."
Yanren thanked him profusely and left with the wanted order.
Half an hour later, almost all the people in Xianyang City heard the news that Zhou Gui was wanted, and most people had circulated the wanted order.
Even if some people don't know Zhou Gui, they are deeply impressed by this person after seeing the photos.
After all, this guy... is worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Soon, some people provided clues, saying that they had seen Zhou Gui. He sneaked out of the city and fled to the west.
The Yan people immediately rushed to the west with their people.
Each of these three hundred people has a photo and asks everyone they see.
Soon, they found out that Zhou Gui had gone to a barren mountain.
The barren mountains are huge, the mountains are high and the forests are dense. The three hundred people of Yan people are like looking for a needle in a haystack. How can they find it?
But the people nearby heard that after catching Zhou Gui, they were rewarded with thousands of coins. They immediately organized themselves spontaneously.
Anyway, if you delay for one day, there will be no loss of crops in the field. A windfall of ten thousand dollars, why not give it a try?
On this day, the deserted barren mountains suddenly became lively.
Two hours later, Zhou Gui was arrested.
Holding the wanted order in hand, the Yan people burst into tears with excitement: He is really a god to banish an immortal.
After Zhou Gui was arrested, someone naturally interrogated him.
And when Ying Zheng heard about the process of arresting people by the Yan people, he was also amazed. He also rewarded Yan people with tens of thousands of coins.
After the Yan people got the money, apart from the clue fees to reward the people, there were still tens of thousands left.
The Yan people took the money and had a drink with three hundred of their men. During the dinner, they were full of praise for Li Shui. From then on, he became Li Shui's biggest fan.
After Ying Zheng saw the wanted order, he called Li Shui.
When Li Shui rushed to the palace, he found that Chunyu Yue was also here.
Perhaps Chunyu Yue never left after filing his complaint.
After Li Shui saluted Ying Zheng, he said to Chunyu Yue with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I helped you catch the person."
Chunyu Yue had mixed feelings in his heart.
He was dismissive of Li Shui's character, but this time, Li Shui did help him a lot.
Therefore, Chunyu Yue bowed with complicated emotions and expressed his gratitude to Li Shui.
Ying Zheng said to Li Shui: "I heard that the camera was responsible for catching Zhou Gui this time?"
Li Shui bowed and said, "Exactly. A camera is different from a picture. The photos taken by the camera are extremely realistic. It is too easy to find a person."
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "If this camera technology is used for biopsies, then wouldn't the bad guys have nowhere to hide?"
Li Shui said with great sincerity: "Your Majesty is truly the emperor of the ages. This idea is simply a genius idea. I am so impressed that I am so impressed..."
Chunyu Yue looked at Li Shui helplessly, thinking: There are such flattering people in the world...
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said to Li Shui: "People are afraid of cameras and think that cameras can capture the soul. It may not be easy to attach their photos to the biography."
Li Shui said: "Now Mr. Fu Yao's newspaper is doing very well. We can include a special introduction to cameras when publishing the newspaper. When people understand the principle of cameras, they will not be so afraid."
"Secondly, if you want to make money for the people, then the resistance will be much smaller. For example, although the migration control for the people has been relaxed now, you still have to go through many checkpoints and be interrogated to go to other places, which is extremely Cumbersome.”
"Your Majesty can issue an order. Who has used this new type of verification with photos? When moving, they will be less interrogated and more unhindered. In this way, the people will be happy to change."
"Finally, we have to make the people scramble to be the first. For example, His Majesty issued an order. Within a year, the government can take pictures for the people for free and then make a biography."
"After one year, if you want to change the test, you need to pay for it at your own expense. Moreover, the court plans to replace all the test within three years. Anyone who fails to change the test within the time limit will be punished."
Li Shui smiled slightly and said to Ying Zheng: "In this way, I believe that within a year, the vast majority of the people will change."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, very good. Just do it your way."
Chunyu Yue looked at Li Shui and thought: This man really has thought through people's hearts.
Suddenly, Chunyu Yue understood why he was always at a disadvantage in the competition with Li Shui.
In the past, Chunyu Yue felt that this was because Li Shui was shameless and relied on his iron face to remain invincible.
But now, Chunyu Yue felt that this was not entirely the case. Li Shui really has something.
After discussing the matter of inheritance verification, Ying Zheng asked the young eunuch next to him: "Is that Zhou Gui available?"
The young eunuch said: "Zhou Gui has not confessed yet. But... the prime minister is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Ying Zheng was slightly startled: "Prime Minister? What is he doing here?"
The young eunuch said: "It seems... I'm here to apologize."
Ying Zheng said in confusion: "What's the crime? Let him in."
Li Shui quietly walked to the corner and whispered to Wu Jiao who was waiting there: "Go and tell Mr. Fu Yao that there is going to be big news and ask him to prepare the newspaper. Go, run, run hurry up."
