My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 390

[Chapter 387 President Jing is so cruel! (First update)]

Since Jing Zhe went to court today, Emperor An was actually not in much mood to listen to the remonstrance. He had long thought of finishing the remonstration quickly and listening to the newspaper affairs alone.

After all, he heard that the first issue of the newspaper had already been produced.

Compared to others, An Di had higher expectations for the newspaper and wanted it to be an instant hit. When the newspaper was about to be released, he was much more nervous than anyone else.

However, Li Haoyun was the new magistrate of Jingzhou. He had not shown his face in court since he took office. This sudden remonstration must be about something important, so he was prepared to listen first.

“Your Majesty, the night before yesterday, with the help of President Jing, I led troops to seize the largest casino in the history of Anguo. We arrested more than ten bankers and outside thugs, and arrested more than 20 gamblers. At the same time, we seized gambling capital of up to 10,000 taels. !”

“Wow!”

As soon as this was said, the whole room was shocked!

Because Emperor An banned gambling, the seizure of casinos was a compulsory course for every Jingzhou magistrate. Wu Yong, the previous Jingzhou magistrate, did a good job in this area and made Jingzhou a “gambling-free city.” That’s why Li Haoyun just said that he had seized the history of Anguo. When entering the largest casino, most people sneered in their hearts: Are you crazy for wanting to make meritorious deeds?

But when they heard that tens of thousands of taels of gambling money had been seized, everyone was dumbfounded: If this is true, it is indeed the largest in history!

“Oh? Tell me in detail!”

Andi’s expression became serious.

So, Li Haoyun gave a rough summary of what happened the day before yesterday, because he knew that the detailed process was in the newspaper. If he talked too much, wouldn’t he steal Jing Zhe’s limelight?

Of course, he had to say that if the largest casino in the history of Anguo was closed down, Andi would be derelict in his duty if he heard about it from the newspapers instead of from his own mouth.

After finishing speaking, Li Haoyun concluded: “Your Majesty, because I have just taken office not long ago, the seizure of the Du Family Casino this time is entirely due to the help of President Jing! President Jing will write down the specific details in the newspaper and microblog. I won’t elaborate further!”

After being helped by Jing Zhe many times, Li Haoyun decided to reciprocate the favor.

Emperor An glanced at Jing Zhe and nodded.

“Your Majesty, it is the unshirkable responsibility of everyone in Anguo to maintain the good atmosphere of Jingzhou City!”

Jing Zhe stood up and said, but at the same time he changed the topic: “I just don’t know why the former Jingzhou Governor did such a good job when he was in office. Did the big

casino just let it go? Did

they

not find it, or did they not want to check it? Or did they turn a blind eye on purpose?

Who was the former prefect of Jingzhou?

Wu Yong, son of Wu Xianyong.

Everyone knows how Wu Yong was beaten down, and Jing Zhe has stabbed him again. It seems that he doesn’t want to die? All I can say is that President Jing is so cruel!

Wu Xianyong stood up quickly, “Your Majesty! When Wu Yong was in power, he was particularly concerned about gambling, but the place chosen for the casino was particularly hidden. How could it be so easy to be discovered?”

Then he gave Jing Zhe a cold look. : “I don’t know how some people find the casino so quickly. Could it be that they go to play by themselves on weekdays, and then after losing, they come and shout to catch the thief?”

Wu Xianyong is also considered a veteran. When he fought back, he didn’t give in too much, and he changed in an instant. People in the court were talking about the situation of the war.

An Di pressed his hand down to signal everyone to be quiet: “What Wu Aiqing said makes sense. Let’s not talk about the previous things. Since we can detect such a big gambling game this time, it is good after all. I am very interested in the details. Li Aiqing also said that the details will be written in the first issue of the newspaper, and we will be happy to see it later!”

Inadvertently, An Di also placed an advertisement for the newspaper.

This game was considered a draw, and Wu Xianyong was very proud.

I’m still thinking in my heart, what Jing Zhe just said about writing himself in the newspaper, couldn’t it be about Wu De?

If so, he wouldn’t be afraid anymore!

Jing Zhe, that’s all!

…

Because of Li Haoyun’s remonstrance, it was already time.

Emperor An asked: “I heard that the newspaper office is going to publish the newspaper today?”

Jing Zhe nodded and said: “Yes, Your Majesty! At the quarter of the day, it will be sold in Wenxiangju, with one hundred copies per copy, and a total of five hundred copies!”

“Five hundred copies !”

Hundred copies? It’s not too much, but it’s not too much. After all, newspapers are a new thing. It will take some time for the people of Jingzhou to accept it. It will be difficult in the early stage. It is not a big problem. Just do it step by step. !”

What An Di said was actually to prepare the ground in advance, fearing that if the sales of the newspaper were not good, someone would gossip.

Jing Zhe naturally heard that Emperor An had a good idea, but he thought too much.

If you can buy one later, I lose!

At this time, Bai Qingyuan, who had not spoken for a long time, stood up and said with a seemingly unintentional smile: “Your Majesty has already said that it will be difficult to publish this first issue of the newspaper. Why don’t I just pay for it myself and buy it for everyone in the court?” Take one! Haha, I support President Jing’s work, after all, I am also very optimistic about the newspaper!”

Naturally, Bai Qingyuan is not so kind.

He said “help” but his tone was contemptuous.

It’s just to humiliate Jing Zhe in public: You can’t sell it, I’ll just buy some for you!

Jing Zhe smiled and handed him over: “Thank you very much, Mrs. Bai. You have to spend money to contribute to our newspaper!”

“Haha, it’s easy to talk!”

Bai Qingyuan waved his hand, “President Jing said just now that we are all colleagues in the same court and officials, so we should help each other!”

“Since Taifu Bai supports my work so much, why not help you every issue in the future? Please buy it, otherwise I’m afraid if I can’t sell a few copies, the newspaper will go bankrupt…”

“Haha, no problem!”

Bai Qingyuan agreed without even thinking about it.

He was not optimistic about the prospects of the newspaper anyway. How many people in the city would spend money to read this?

At most, he can do it for two or three issues without anyone else talking to him. He probably doesn’t have the shame to do it anymore – he is losing money and making noise, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he can’t stand it!

With that said, Bai Qingyuan took out ten taels of silver from his clothes, smiled at Sui Shouren and said, “General Sui, why don’t you go and buy newspapers for everyone!” The

total number of people in the court was only one hundred. For about one person, ten taels of silver is enough.

“Okay, General Sui, let’s go there!”

Emperor An said: “President Jing said that it will be sold at any moment. You should have started selling it in the past.”

When Bai Qingyuan said it, Emperor An was a little nervous.

Sui Shouren took the money and went out.

The palace was not far from Wenxiang Residence. Because Sui Shouren knew that everyone was waiting for him, he led people to run there. It only took about a quarter of an hour for him to come back.

However, his hands were empty and his expression was a little awkward.

Seeing this, Emperor An asked curiously: “What’s wrong, General Sui? Why didn’t you buy it back?”

“…”

——Thanks

Maomao for the continuous rewards!
