What Ning Fengzhi said was true; the Spirit Hall's actions were too suffocating for them.
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Ning Fengzhi said weakly, "Uncle Gu, this newspaper costs one copper soul coin. In addition, there is a set of numbers on it. The prize will be drawn every three days, and you will have a chance to share 50,000 gold soul coins."
"This winning alone is enough to make most people on the continent buy one copy every day. And the content of the newspaper is entirely compiled by the Spirit Hall. If one day, the Spirit Hall slanders us in the newspaper, I'm afraid that those people on the continent who don't know the truth will think that our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is the devil."
"this"
Gu Rong and Chen Xin fell silent.
All of this was an open conspiracy, and, as Ning Fengzhi said, no one could stop it.
Suddenly, Gu Rong realized something. "That's not right, Feng Zhi, look. This paper is not made of shoddy materials, but is made of high-quality paper. Add to that the transportation and operating costs, and the Spirit Hall is not making any money at all. And look at this so-called Spirit Ticket. The Spirit Hall has to take out 50,000 gold soul coins as bonuses every three days. Where do they get so much money? Are they just trying to make a profit at a loss?"
What he said was indeed true. The newspapers of the Spirit Hall were provided to newspaper sellers for free. The income from each copper soul coin of the newspaper sold belonged to the newspaper seller.
Ning Fengzhi hadn't thought of this. He touched the newspaper with his right hand and said, "The ink used here is not ordinary ink. I'm afraid the cost is..."
Gu Rong suddenly smiled, "Oh, Feng Zhi, I've already said that Bibi Dong is a woman who spends money. Now it seems that the Spirit Hall will only become weaker and weaker in the future."
"Everything that rises must fall. This is the law of the continent's development. The Spirit Hall will be finished sooner or later!"
Chen Xin wondered, "But if she wants to dig up the foundation of the Spirit Hall, why does she want to deal with so many scum?"
Gu Rong thought about it and then laughed, "Old Swordsman, it is also possible that because the newspaper expenses are too high, the Spirit Hall kicked some people out in this way in order to reduce personnel expenses."
Chen Xin remained silent and flipped the newspaper back. Suddenly, four eye-catching words "Advertisement for Rent" came into view.
"Feng Zhi, look what this is!" Chen Xin said as he spread out the newspaper.
"Advertisement?" Ning Fengzhi and the other two looked at each other.
The dignified Spirit Hall has actually learned to advertise for others? At the beginning, Shrek Academy put an advertisement on the school uniform for rent, and it is still a topic of conversation for many people.
However, under the advertisement for rent, Wuhun Hall listed the prices of the advertising space.
"At such an expensive price, only a fool would rent it." Ning Fengzhi curled his lips and sneered.
"Feng Zhi, don't be careless." Chen Xin frowned, "The things that Spirit Hall has come up with are all things we have never known about. If what they have come up with is the trend of future development, then the threat from Spirit Hall will increase sharply."
Ning Fengzhi thought it made sense, "Uncle Gu, follow me to the palace. There are some things I need to discuss with His Majesty."
Early this morning, the streets and alleys of Tiandou City were filled with the cries of newspaper vendors.
The nobles, aristocratic families, and even ordinary citizens in the city all learned about the existence of the "Wuhun Daily" on this day.
The content in the newspaper, especially the gameplay of the Wuhun Ticket, is loved by many people.
There were even long queues at the place where Wuhun tickets were sold.
Among all the major forces, the Elephant Armor Sect is the vanguard of the Spirit Hall, and they unconditionally support all arrangements of the Spirit Hall.
As for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, it was already difficult for them to protect themselves, so they had no time to think about these things.
…
The study on a snowy night.
The moment Ning Fengzhi walked in, he saw Han Yu and Xue Ye chatting enthusiastically.
"Your Majesty, Dean Han, Qinghe, I hope I didn't disturb you."
"Master Ning is here, please let him take a seat." Xue Ye ordered.
"Teacher, this is what happened. The envoy of the Spirit Hall came to see father not long ago. They want to open a bank in the Tiandou Empire. We are still discussing some details." Xue Qinghe said.
Ning Fengzhi was stunned. "Bank? What is this?"
He came here to ask Xue Ye about his opinion on Wuhun Daily. But now, they were talking about something else.
What is more important than the Wuhun Daily? "Master Ning" Han Yu briefly recounted the bank's affairs.
This was something he had planned long ago. The promotion of Wuhun Daily and Wuhun Bank would encounter resistance no matter what. His goal was to use Wuhun Bank as a cover to divert everyone's attention from Wuhun Daily.
By the time everyone in the Tiandou Empire reacted, the Wuhun Daily had already established its foundation, and it would be impossible to ban it.
"Master Ning, the Spirit Hall intends to strengthen cooperation with the Heaven Dou Empire. As long as we agree to build the Spirit Bank in the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall will send people to the border to force the Xing Luo Empire to return the territories that were once annexed by the Heaven Dou Empire."
It was obvious from Xue Ye's words that he was somewhat interested in this matter.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The territory of the Tiandou Empire was eroded by the Xingluo Empire. If Xue Ye could take back all of this territory, he would have made achievements that would be praised by future generations.
Han Yu followed his words and said, "Your Majesty, my Canaan City can provide a venue for Wuhun Bank to move in."
Xue Qinghe Lian said: "Father, I think that the Spirit Bank should be allowed to settle in Tiandou City. Most of the empire's wealth is in the hands of those officials. Since the Spirit Hall is willing to provide these guys with their asset status, we have no reason not to agree."
"If the empire is short of money by then, let's see how they shirk responsibility."
Xue Ye nodded with satisfaction. What Xue Qinghe said was exactly what he thought.
They usually complain about being poor, and Xue Ye can’t do anything about it. But if they complain about being poor again in the future, I won’t tolerate them.
"Ahem, Sect Master Ning, do you have any ideas?"
Ning Fengzhi was a little confused by the conversation between the few people just now.
Han Yu was half a Spirit Hall member, so it was fine if he agreed, but why should the Heaven Dou Empire agree? Once the wealth was concentrated in the hands of the Spirit Hall, if the Spirit Hall attacked the Heaven Dou Empire in the future, they only needed to deduct the money. What would the Heaven Dou Empire use to fight?
"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" He hastily dissuaded him, "The ambitions of the Spirit Hall are obvious. Your Majesty, you can't let the wolf in for the sake of temporary benefits!"
Xue Ye frowned when he heard this.
The Spirit Hall's promise touched his heart. Once the lost territory was recovered, it would greatly boost people's morale.
Moreover, his physical condition was getting worse day by day, and he wanted to accomplish this great feat before he passed away! "Master Ning, the Spirit Hall has never had the ambition to dominate the continent in the past ten thousand years. Are you too sensitive?"
Ning Fengzhi wanted to say something, but was dissuaded by Gu Rong.
Xue Ye had obviously made up her mind. If they said more, it would not only be futile but would also make Xue Ye unhappy.
You know, the fact that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can continue to reap the benefits has a lot to do with Xue Ye’s attitude towards them.
"Alas, Your Majesty, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Your Majesty, always be prepared for danger in times of peace." Ning Fengzhi sighed.
"Haha, since Sect Master Ning has no objection, then Qinghe, you can inform the Spirit Hall's envoy of my request."
