The battle of public opinion lasted for two months.
Cao Pi's reputation has been getting darker and darker in the two months of public opinion, but the important news of the world has gained a firm foothold in the four countries of the world. All nobles with a bit of fame will order the important news of the world to read it. There are also more and more talented people submitting articles to Chang'an, hoping to increase their popularity through the list of literary figures in the world news.
At the same time, Tianxia News also launched a review list.
Leave a space in the lower right corner of the world news. If anyone has any questions about the ranking of the literary giants list, they can cut out the blank page and send it to Chang'an. The literary giants list will be re-ranked based on opinions and comments.
Not only the works of literary giants, Zhang Xiu also advertised in the world's top news.
In today's world news, the first headline is no longer an insult to Cao Pi, because in two months, Cao Pi has become notorious, and there is not much value in continuing to criticize him. The first one on the list is Shangzhenjing Wine.
After a long period of research and development, the sample of Shangzhenjing Wine has been successful. The next step is mass production and sales. Before that, the name of Shangzhenjing Wine must be publicized first. The popularity of this wine must be raised, and the wine must be promoted. Being linked to nobility caused these powerful nobles to have a comparison mentality and rush to buy.
Especially the words "royal royal" are absolutely fatal temptations for the powerful nobles.
Zhang Xiu successfully won the public opinion war. Not only did he win, he also earned tens of millions of silver. It can be said that he made a lot of money, but Cao Pi felt uncomfortable. He spent so much money and hired so many people. Man, in the end, his reputation will become more and more bad. Now it's better. The five people in the world don't know about Cao Pi's evil deeds.
Especially those literary giants, in order to be on the literary giant list, even imposed some unfounded charges on Cao Pi, which made Cao Pi very angry.
Today I felt relieved to see that it was no longer him who was making the headlines in the world's news.
Finally let him go.
During this period, just buying Yueying Paper cost a lot of money. If the war continues, Wei Guo's family wealth will be exhausted. In addition, there are refugees everywhere, and the broken Yellow River is still being repaired. Where can All require money.
But when he saw this Zhenjing wine, Cao Pi had a bad feeling.
"What kind of trick is Zhang Xiu up to?" Cao Pi carefully read the introduction of Shang Zhenjing Wine, and while still sitting on the table in front of him, he said disdainfully, "What kind of scam is Zhang Xiu doing?"
Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, this is the newly brewed wine of Jingguo. It is launched in the world news. I am afraid it is to build the reputation of this wine and make people all over the world rush to buy it."
Cao Pi said angrily: "Old Zhang Xiu, you want to use this wine to make money from the Wei Dynasty? Humph! Dreaming!" Then he ordered: "Close the bilateral market for me and prohibit this wine from entering the territory of the Wei Dynasty!"
Guo Jia looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, now our Wei State and Jing State have grain and grass trade, and the border cannot be closed. Otherwise, the victims will be deprived of grain and grass. We can only wait until this summer's harvest... ahem... "
While speaking, Guo Jia's face suddenly turned pale and he coughed.
Cao Pi knew that during this period of time, in order to counterattack the world news of Jingguo, Guo Jia was overworked, which made his body a lot weaker. Coupled with his disorderly life, his body was overwhelmed and became diseased.
According to later records in "Wei Lv", Chen Qun wanted to report Guo Jia to Cao Cao many times: At first, Chen Qun Fei Jia refused to punish him, and complained to Jia in several courts. Yan.
Later, some people verified that Guo Jiazhi's failure to undergo medical examination was due to alcoholism, lust, and indolence.
In addition, he was overworked day and night during this period, which caused him to consume too much energy and gradually weakened his body. Especially recently, his cough became more and more serious, and he even coughed up blood.
Cao Piwei asked: "Let the imperial doctor take a look. You have worked hard during this period. After this matter is over, you should take good care of yourself, listen to Chen Qun's words, drink less, and..." Cao Pi thought about it. I want to say, "Food and grass cannot be cut off, but wine from Jingguo must not enter Wei State. Please contact Wu State."
"Here!" Guo Jia responded.
After walking out of the palace, Guo Jia's throat felt itchy and his whole body felt weak. He held onto the city wall with one hand and hurriedly took out a handkerchief with the other hand to cover his mouth. He coughed violently, and his chest seemed to be burning.
Cao Pi was entrusted to them by the late emperor for their kind assistance.
Now it seems that Cao Pi has a strong sense of opinion, and Cao Pi is very judgmental in what they say. Moreover, Cao Pi is particularly greedy for power and does not need others to intervene. In addition, Cao Pi is irritable and irritable, so they dare not speak out.
In the battle of public opinion, their advice was fruitless.
After this battle, the Wei Dynasty lost nearly ten million silver taels, which made the current Wei Dynasty even worse. Not long after last year's battle ended, Jizhou and Youzhou were lost. The Central Plains suffered floods and people were in dire straits. But Jizhou was the grain and grass country of the Wei Dynasty, with fertile fields thousands of miles away. Without the grain and grass support from Jizhou, they had to buy it from other countries, which cost a huge amount of money.
After another battle of public opinion, the Wei Dynasty is now in a state of turmoil.
If the Wei Dynasty continues to go like this, it may not be long.
"Ahem..."
Thinking of this, Guo Jia coughed violently again, and his face became increasingly pale.
"Fengxiao!"
Just as Xun Yu was about to enter the palace, he saw Guo Jia coughing violently while holding on to the wall. He hurriedly went over and asked with concern: "Why are you coughing so badly? Have you asked the imperial doctor?"
Guo Jia waved his hand: "It's an old problem!"
Xun Yu: "I told you to drink less, and I told you to spend less time with women, but you have a romantic nature, and now you are in bad shape. I saw that you went down to see the late emperor, so I explained it like this."
Guo Jia smiled bitterly: "I'm going to accompany the late emperor, Wen Ruo, but why are you here for the important news in the world today?"
Xun Yu nodded: "Zhang Xiu is launching some Shangzhenjing wine. I'm afraid he wants to occupy the wine market of our country, Wei. If so, our country will be hit hard."
Guo Jiadao: "The emperor has made up his mind to stop the commercial exchanges between Jing and Wei and purchase grain and grass from Soochow."
"well!"
Xun Yu shook his head helplessly and sighed: "When the late emperor was still alive, when did I, the Wei Dynasty, experience such a humiliation? Being bullied by Zhang Xiu, first because of public opinion, and now because of the wine industry!"
Guo Jia: "Jingguo has gained the upper hand. It is useless to talk about this now. The best way now is for Wei, Chu and Wu to unite to fight against Jingguo. We, the great Wei Dynasty, can rest and recuperate until the world changes again."
"That's all we can do!" Xun Yu shook his head. When he saw Guo Jia getting up, he supported him and said, "I'll take you back!"
Guo Jia: "Aren't you going to enter the palace?"
Xun Yu said, "Your Majesty has already made up his mind, what else can I do?" After saying that, he supported Guo Jia and left.
