"You can do whatever you want when you go to Jianjiang."
Fang Zheng chuckled and said, "Then I am relieved."
"I thought that Your Majesty would be angry if I went too far in sending this message."
Emperor Jing glanced at him, a smile appeared on his lips: "Fang Qing, you really underestimated me. I don't take your petty quarrels to heart."
"What I hate is that you and the prince didn't even discuss this with me."
"In the past two years, my Dajing has lived a lot better and helped many people grow richer. What you did only touched their skin."
"From high-ranking officials to common people, all are my subjects, and I treat them all equally."
"Everyone pretends to be noble and upright on weekdays, but when something happens, they wait for me to speak."
"I have been very merciful by not cutting their flesh. Fang Qing, you did a good job. Those who achieve great things should not be fussy about small matters."
"However... the court has lost face this time. From now on, every edition of the newspaper published by the newspaper must be sent to the palace for review by me. It can only be published after I have approved it with my imperial handwriting."
"The newspaper can no longer use the name of the prince to do whatever it wants. From now on, it should be called Mid-Levels Daily News."
"As for the money earned by the newspaper, I don't care. You can divide it with the prince."
"Your Majesty is wise! I will send someone to do it later."
Fang Zheng smiled.
As expected, when it came to picking peaches, His Majesty was ruthless.
The emperor would definitely not allow any of his subjects to control something like newspapers.
This was also expected.
But as for the money...Your Majesty obviously does not realize the huge profitability hidden in newspapers!
As for changing the name of the newspaper to Jingdi, Fang Zhengyi should also change it. The newspaper has not started collecting advertising fees yet.
If you use the prince's name to collect money and sell advertisements, it would be somewhat inappropriate, and there would definitely be a lot of people jumping out to oppose it.
Emperor Jing looked at Fang Zheng with eyes full of admiration.
He can get things done, make money, and speak sweet words, but he has such a bad relationship with others.
good!
"There is one more thing. At the court meeting today, Zhang Shi wrote to me, saying that the court departments should open new daily newspapers. What do you think?"
Zhang Shi still has this kind of operation? The old man is quite something!
Fang Zheng thought for a while and said, "This is a good thing. It can greatly enhance the influence of the court."
"Your Majesty and the imperial court's decrees are issued from the central government with good intentions, but they often go astray when it comes to execution."
"This way, government orders can be delivered directly to the people, which can reduce many mistakes."
"But I think that newspapers should be reviewed by the cabinet, and the ministries should not be authorized to publish directly. This way, your Majesty's will will not be misinterpreted and your orders can be communicated."
"However, it is obviously inappropriate for the newspapers to be written directly by the ministries. I suggest setting up another agency to select talents from the grassroots level in the society, which would be more appropriate."
"To talk big is to harm the people."
Fang Zhengyi suddenly paused.
"What's more, the efficient papermaking method is in the hands of Your Majesty and the Crown Prince. If other ministries want to publish newspapers on a large scale without the new papermaking method, it will be impossible."
"Now, the price of a Mid-Levels Daily newspaper is only five cents a copy, which can barely break even."
After listening to this, Emperor Jing only replied calmly: "Well said, this is advice for the country."
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
It seems that His Majesty was criticized in the court and came to me to seek recognition.
Even the emperor is not immune to this!
He would definitely do it even if you didn't say it.
But this time, I brought the papermaking method with me and it was really an accident.
Emperor Jing suddenly rolled up what he had just written on the table and threw it to Fang Zheng.
"Guo Banban, bring the sword!"
Guo Tianyang turned around and took out an extremely gorgeously decorated sword from the cabinet behind him, then walked up to Fang Zhengyi.
"This sword was seized from the palace of the Gan Kingdom. I like it very much."
"Now I grant it to you. Take my imperial edict to Jianjiang and you can travel freely without any worries!"
"If you do the job well, it will be a great achievement. If you don't, I won't blame you."
Fang Zhengyi silently took the sword and looked it over.
Ouch! The legendary imperial sword! Cut off the treacherous ministers below and the upper ones above...
However, upon hearing that this was the sword of the Gan Dynasty, Fang Zheng hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty, can this sword of the Gan Dynasty kill an official of our dynasty?"
Emperor Jing glared at him and said, "What are you talking about! What do you have to do with the government? They are all mine!"
"Nothing, just go out!"
"Yes! I also want one hundred dan of Shengshi potatoes from the imperial farm to take to Jianjiang."
Emperor Jing agreed without hesitation.
Then he looked at Fang Zhengyi with a half-smile and said, "What's Shengshishu? It's sweet potato, right? It's a bit hard to pronounce."
Fang Zheng smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Don't do these fancy things in the future. It's so boring!"
"Then I'll take my leave."
"Wait a minute, what does Master Li have to do with you?"
“……….”
---------
Fang Zhengyi returned with a full load. He walked around the palace with the sword in his hand before slowly returning home.
This time he didn't lose anything, as he got the imperial sword and an imperial edict in return.
With two invincibility buffs, you can go out and roam around.
After leaving the palace, Fang Zhengyi immediately rushed to Banshanfang.
The most urgent thing now is to arrange all the things at hand.
Emperor Jing only gave himself one month to take up the post, which was only half a month at most, and the remaining half a month had to be reserved for travel.
If there is any accident on the road, it will delay us again.
