Today, Guangwen Newspaper officially opened with lights and decorations, a scene of great joy! A bustling crowd of people gathered in front of the office, jostling for position. Among the crowd were dignitaries, scholars, and intellectuals, all eager to get a glimpse of the new newspaper's true face.
Jia Liu, dressed in finery, stood at the door with a smile on his face, welcoming all the guests. Inside the newspaper office, a dazzling array of newspapers and periodicals were neatly displayed, with rich and colorful content, covering current affairs, anecdotes, poetry, and songs, which was overwhelming.
Many people eagerly picked up newspapers and magazines, flipping through them eagerly, exclaiming in amazement from time to time. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. It turned out that the city's famous talent, Mr. Zhao, had arrived.
Jia Liu hurried forward to greet him and ushered him into the newspaper office. Mr. Zhao stopped in front of the newspaper rack, his eyes sharp as a torch, and was instantly attracted by a report about the suffering of the people.
He frowned, as if lost in thought. After a moment, he said to Jialiu, "It is truly commendable that your newspaper is concerned about the people's livelihood."
Jia Liu smiled slightly and responded modestly, "Mr. Zhao, you are too kind. We just want more people to know about the world."
During the first three days of the opening, the Beijing News will be free. Today's Beijing News is even more unique, with both pictures and texts, novel and unique, including headlines, important news, people's livelihood, poetry, business rankings, odd stories, gossip, etc.
Restaurants, teahouses, alley entrances, and even beggars' quarters were all packed with people. They gathered in a group, surrounding a man like stars surrounding the moon, listening intently to him reading the newspaper.
On the opening day, the newspaper office was bustling with people and extremely lively. Praises from all sides poured in like a tide. Even dignitaries subscribed to the daily Beijing News, and all kinds of newspapers, magazines and books in the newspaper office were sold out.
Jin Linlin and Cao Jiao sat in the restaurant across the street. Opening the windows, they could take in the entire newspaper office. Holding today's Beijing newspaper, they chatted and laughed, enjoying themselves.
Jin Linlin put down the newspaper, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, "This newspaper is really interesting, but it also has its shortcomings. Look at this headline. Although it is a current hot topic, the reporting is too official and lacks some vividness."
Cao Jiao nodded slightly and agreed, "You have a point. And the poetry section mostly features works by famous poets, but rarely features good folk poems. It's a bit limiting."
Jin Linlin's eyes lit up, and she continued, "But its advantages are also obvious. For example, the livelihood section reports the people's living conditions truthfully, allowing everyone to understand their suffering. And the anecdotes and gossip sections provide a lot of after-dinner conversation."
Cao Jiao smiled and said, "Yes, and this newspaper is rich in pictures and text, with a novel format that makes people interested at first glance. I'm afraid this newspaper will become more and more popular in the future."
As the two were talking, they suddenly saw a group of people at the door of the newspaper office, escorting a man who looked like an official into the room. It seemed that the influence of this newspaper was still expanding.
Jin Linlin sent someone to deliver a copy of the Beijing Gazette to Emperor Song in the palace. After reading it, Emperor Song found it very novel and also subscribed to a daily copy of the Beijing Gazette.

In the bedroom of Dong Jinguo, the aroma of mugwort emanating from the bronze tripod and the burnt smell of tortoise shells were intertwined.
The Imperial Master, holding a bronze drill, bored neatly round holes into the turtle's plastron. This was his sixteenth divination for this trip, and the result was still "a very bad omen."
The Imperial Master took a deep breath, his face solemn, and thought to himself that no matter whether the outcome was good or bad, he must go and rescue the prince.
The Emperor Song of the Dagan Kingdom has already sent a letter to the King. If the two countries go to war and the Crown Prince falls into the hands of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the situation will inevitably become passive.
He slowly moved to the underground Gu room, carefully examining the insects, wondering which one would be useful. If the Gu at Princess Qingmin's place hadn't been burned, there would be many more available, and there wouldn't be such a shortage of insects.
Just when the Imperial Master was worrying about the poisonous insect, he suddenly heard a slight sound coming from the corner of the poison room.
He cautiously gripped the bronze drill in his hand and slowly approached. In the dim light, he glimpsed a strange insect he had never seen before. Its entire body radiated a faint green light, making it particularly eye-catching in the dark room.
The Imperial Master's heart trembled. Could this be a chance for a change of fortune bestowed by Heaven? He carefully placed the insect into a specially crafted container and examined it for a long time, discovering that it seemed to possess extremely aggressive and toxic properties.
At this moment, the Imperial Preceptor received news that the Crown Prince's situation was becoming increasingly precarious, and that the Imperial Guards had already stepped up their security. Without further hesitation, the Imperial Preceptor returned to the house, carrying the mysterious insect, and immediately issued the order for everyone to set out immediately to rescue the Crown Prince.
Along the way, he cleverly used the characteristics of the poisonous insect to successfully avoid many dangers. When he finally approached the place where the prince was imprisoned, he was shocked to find that the place was heavily guarded.
The Jinyiwei and the elite of the Imperial Guards were guarding all around, just waiting to catch the turtle in the jar. The national teacher frowned and thought about countermeasures in his mind.
At this moment, the mysterious insect suddenly flew out of the container and flew straight towards the guards. In the blink of an eye, the guards touched by the insect fell to the ground, struggling in pain.
The Imperial Master was overjoyed and took advantage of the chaos to sneak in with everyone. However, as soon as they entered, they triggered a trap, and countless sharp arrows shot out. The Imperial Master hurriedly directed everyone to take cover, while using poisonous insects to destroy the trap.
After finally breaking through this level, they encountered an even more powerful guard leader, Mu Tiankui. The leader was very skilled in martial arts and was difficult for everyone to resist. Seeing this, the national teacher released a poisonous insect to attack the leader.
Despite their desperate resistance, they were gradually eroded by the poison of the insect. At this moment, the Jinyiwei who had been lurking in the shadows suddenly rushed out and surrounded them.
