Fang Zheng was at his ease and replied, "Your Majesty, I ordered my subordinates to figure it out."
"There will be some errors, it's not that accurate!"
"If you feel that what the newspaper said is wrong, please tell me and I will publish a clarification in the newspaper tomorrow."
Zhang Shi immediately retorted: "Your Majesty! This is nonsense. The grain reserves reported in the newspaper are simply made up!"
"How can my family have 50,000 dan of grain? This is obviously something Fang Zheng made up!"
"It has only been a few days and the newspaper has already made such a big mistake! I request that the newspaper be handed over to the Hanlin Academy for management and that it be published only after the Hanlin Academy has reviewed it properly!"
"If we let it run its course any longer, it will probably lead to disaster!"
"Your Majesty, please grant my approval!"
"I second this motion!"

How dare you not discuss such a big matter with me? Will you be able to ascend to heaven in two years?
"Everyone, get up. We'll discuss this later. We have more important things to do now."
"After this newspaper is published, the whole world will discuss it, and it will be impossible to stop it. Besides, it doesn't matter how much grain you have in your homes."
"Now, my dear ministers, you should donate grain enthusiastically to calm the people's grievances. Otherwise, where is the prestige of the court? Tell us, how much will each family donate?"
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
This is called tacit understanding, Your Majesty is awesome!
