Dongyang County is very lively tonight.
All county government officials were mobilized to conduct door-to-door searches, and anyone who looked even remotely like a bad guy was arrested.
For a time, the jails in Dongyang County were overcrowded, which was the first time since the establishment of Dongyang County.
Everyone in Dongyang County also knew that the prefect was beaten in the suburbs.
But no one sympathized with Ding Mingcheng.
Everyone is speculating on what kind of evil thing Ding Mingcheng did to deserve being beaten at the risk of his life.
At the same time, everyone prayed silently in their hearts that the righteous man who beat Ding Mingcheng would never be caught.
From this we can also see how bad Ding Mingcheng's image is in the hearts of the people.
The next day.
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, selling newspapers..."
As soon as people got up after a hard night, they heard these strange sounds coming from the street.
Selling newspapers? What is this?
Everyone is curious to find the person who spoke out.
I saw a few more young people on the street today, holding a large stack of paper-like things in their arms.
He kept shouting.
"Young man, what is this newspaper?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
"This newspaper is a good thing. It records the major events that have happened in Dongyang County in the past few days."
Speaking of this, the young man continued in a low voice: "For example, Master Ding was beaten yesterday."
Hearing this, the people watching immediately became interested.
"There is also some store information on it, such as some new stores opening, old stores offering discounts, etc."
The eyes of those doing business were shining brightly.
These businessmen were all shocked by Chen Fan's advertising method last time, and they all wanted to learn how Chen Fan advertised.
So isn’t this newspaper an excellent advertising opportunity?
"Not only that, there are also some biographies and extras from the storybooks written by Mr. Chen Fan. These are not found in the storybooks."
Hearing this, the scholar's eyes immediately showed a burning light.
At this time, everyone present also knew that this newspaper was written by Chen Fan.
Everyone is looking forward to it even more. After all, nothing Chen Fan has released during this period is bad.
"If any scholar thinks that the article he has written is good, he can submit it to us. After our review, Mr. Chen, it can be published in this newspaper so that the whole city can see it."
"Not only is there no charge for this, we will also give you royalties."
The young man continued.
Hearing this, these scholars could no longer suppress their excitement.
The highest honor for a scholar in this life is to be able to write a book and establish a biography. Although it is published in this newspaper, it is not as good as writing a book and establishing a biography.
But in this way, at least everyone in the city can see it, and it can also quickly increase one's reputation.
This has made these scholars who have not obtained the academic qualifications very excited. I am afraid that even the scholars who have obtained the academic qualifications cannot withstand this temptation.
"How much does this newspaper cost?"
At this time, a scholar who still retained some sense asked.
As soon as these words came out, the scholars present immediately reacted and looked at the young man selling the newspaper with worried eyes.
This newspaper is so good, but the price is definitely not cheap. If it is too expensive, people will not be able to afford it.
So even if readers can publish articles on it, what's the use? Not many people can see it.
The common people and businessmen also looked at this young man expectantly.
"We, Mr. Chen, price this newspaper at one penny per copy."
The newspaper seller said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed disbelief in their eyes.
Not to mention the information recorded in this newspaper, it cost him more than a penny just to print this newspaper.
Wouldn’t it be a loss if you sell like this?
"We, Mr. Chen, have said that since everyone takes care of his business, everything he has today is given by you. You are Mr. Chen's family."
"This time, Mr. Chen will donate the money himself and give it back to your family members."
The young man selling the newspaper had obviously received professional training, and his words were very sincere.
After hearing this, everyone present looked moved.
"Mr. Chen is so righteous!"
People couldn't help but sigh.
Of course, Chen Fan would not make a loss-making business.
Although this newspaper seems to be losing money, if businessmen want to advertise in the future, they will have to spend money to buy advertising space.
The one with the highest bid will be given the front page.
Chen Fan makes money from these businessmen.
“We want to buy that, but what should we do if we can’t read?”
At this time, a common man said with some embarrassment.
The literacy rate in Daxia is not high now, and the vast majority of people are illiterate.
"Don't worry, if you buy our newspaper, we will have a service dedicated to interpreting it for you."
"Look at the people opposite. You can go to them with the newspaper and they will read out the information in the newspaper for you."
"Our services are free and we don't charge you a penny more."
The scholar selling the newspaper pointed at a few young people not far away and said.
Hearing this, those illiterate people were even more moved, secretly thinking that Chen Fan was so considerate.
"I want one."
"I want three."
"I want to submit an article."
"I want to advertise."
Without any worries, everyone present called out their needs.
When people get the newspaper, they are attracted by the eye-catching headlines on the front page.
"A certain official became sexually aroused in the suburbs, and the husband couldn't bear it and had no choice but to fight back."
The official who got this is Ding Mingcheng?
Thinking of this, everyone continued to read.
I saw that this article uses easy-to-understand vocabulary without any fancy rhetoric, so most people can understand it.
Even people who are illiterate can immediately understand the meaning under the explanation of those experts.
I saw that this article described that certain official as very heinous. He not only got interested in sex, but also humiliated his wife in front of her husband.
This made everyone very angry.
"This Ding Mingcheng is so shameless."
"It just says a certain official. Does it say Ding Mingcheng? Do you know it's him?"
"Who else besides him? Don't forget that he is famous for being lecherous. Doesn't that correspond to that?"
"Yes, it must be that bastard Ding Mingcheng. I hope he doesn't come back to life this time, so as not to harm our girls in Dongyang County again."
…
At this time, everyone present immediately thought that the official in the article was Ding Ming.
For a time, people's resentment towards Ding Mingcheng reached its peak.
At this time, in the county government office, the county magistrate Zhao Da stayed outside Ding Mingcheng's door all night. He wanted Ding Mingcheng to see his loyalty when he woke up.
While he was dozing off, an official brought a newspaper and handed it to Zhao Da.
When Zhao Da saw this newspaper for the first time, he was also curious.
But when he saw the title and content on the cover, his face turned pale.
"Who is selling this? Hurry up and collect them all from me. Those who have already bought them must also take them back."
"We must take them all back before Master Ding wakes up."
Zhao Da said nervously.
After the officer heard this, he looked embarrassed.
