It turned out that the largest newspaper in Sichuan belonged to Xiong Lan's Central Bank, and his newspapers were full of loan details; and new tax regulations brought by Qin Xiucai Taxation Bureau, which were all news that various commercial banks were very concerned about. With these first-hand information, Xiong Lan's newspapers were very popular, and newspapers under the Central Bank also actively promoted their newspapers to earn extra money for the central bank. Governor Xiong was the first person to learn to advertise in newspapers. After that, commercial banks began to appear in the newspapers of the central bank; those merchants that urgently needed loans generally began to subscribe to Governor Xiong's newspapers to obtain the financial information they needed; later, many commercial banks also began to advertise in Governor Xiong's newspapers, but their targets were those bosses who also bought Governor Xiong's newspapers.

For Xiong Lan, printing presses and workers are ready-made, and they print newspapers when they don’t print money. Although some people are jealous, first, they do not have Xiong Lan’s first-mover advantage, and second, they lack the connections and credit to compete with the central bank. It took a long time before some slightly larger newspapers, and the sales targets of these newspapers are mainly literate scholars, and those who advertise on them are small shops and merchants.

Since last year, some people found that publishing news attracted civilians, many newspapers have begun to follow suit. Advertising leaflets that were often rejected for free for scholars, gradually some people are willing to spend money to buy them. Later, after Deng Ming asked, all newspapers that publish current affairs news would receive a government allowance. In addition to the wealthy central bank, this allowance has also been helpful to other newspapers. The Chengdu Weekly, which is most popular among civilians (now Sichuan is a week for five days), has also been published in current affairs news, and has also storytelling serials and even social gossip. The rapid evolution of Deng Ming, who has been secretly paying attention to it, was irritated.

The popularity follows Chengdu Weekly is the Xuzhou Double Weekly (one publication for ten days). In addition to current affairs commentary, this newspaper also has a lot of Feng Shui related issues. I invited a few experts from Longhushan to explain the weekly fortune to readers; the next page is the detailed explanation of the Zhouyi, which is full of easy-to-understand daily absurd analysis. Not only should readers know why today is the auspicious day, but also let readers understand how this auspicious day came about. As the popularity continues to increase, the Xuzhou Double Weekly said that they will strive to change it to the Xuzhou Weekly next year.

The third one is the same as the Xiucai newspaper. Like other newspapers, the first page is current affairs news for government subsidies, but it only has one page of news, and the rest is overwhelming gossip and stories of scholars meeting fox girls. Because the description is too explicit, this newspaper was declared unpopular by the academies in Chengdu and Xuzhou, and the school rules prohibited teachers and students from purchasing and reading. At the beginning of the year, this newspaper also took a different approach and opened a column to study the details of the Sichuan Taxation Bureau, analyzing how to legally avoid taxes, from bulk profit taxes, to business taxes for small shops, and even the income tax of migrant workers.

All inclusive. The newspaper became famous and its sales increased greatly, becoming the third private newspaper to be changed to a weekly publication. For this reason, the "Tongxiucai News" was sued by the tax bureau director Qin Xiucai and went to the Criminal Division. Shortly after Deng Ming returned to Sichuan, the lawsuit came to an end. Chief Criminal Officer He Daoning announced in the name of "the person who spoke is innocent" that the column of how to avoid taxes was reasonable and legal; after the sentence was announced, Qin Xiucai first ordered a Tongxiucai News for each of the officials of the tax bureau to discover and make up for the loopholes as soon as possible. At the same time, he instructed Park Fan to collect parent signatures and intend to sue the "Tongxiucai News" for an indecent and poisoned teenager.

Soetu stole a lot of newspapers from Tianjin, all of which belong to these four companies. Not only Feng Ziming and others read them with relish, but after getting them, they also listened to them and liked to read them. After reading some of the masters who were invited to distinguish the authenticity, they also quarreled over the different current political views in several newspapers, and said that they had not yet studied Sichuan's tricks and needed more newspaper materials.

"Printed in movable type?" Sony took the newspaper and flipped it over and showed a disdainful contempt.

This contempt is not the first time Soetu has heard it, and it has been heard more than once. Many masters lose interest after seeing these newspapers clearly printed in movable type. Although movable type printing has appeared for a long time and is no longer a secret, movable type printing is difficult to be elegant. There is no need to say about copybooks. Even if someone plans to write a book, he will also invite a good worker to carve a beautiful carving for himself, because characters are not only the carrier of meaning, but also an art. No one is willing to use movable type without distinctiveness to carry their efforts - if they are not very rich, then use cheap carvings.

Due to this tendency of the gentry, the best printing masters are also concentrated in the woodblock printing industry. movable type printing is a low-level industry. The level of masters and workers is far from comparable to those of woodblock peers, and the reward is pitifully low, which makes it difficult to make up for the quality gap between movable type printing and woodblock printing.

Sony has been in the pass for a long time. The memorials I have read in the past ten years are full of exquisite small calligraphy. Those around him are also well-known scholars. They have long known that movable type printing is for those foremen who are proficient in writing and writing, and they cannot reach the attention of the ministers of the regent.

"This newspaper is different, there are almost no typos on it..." Soetu hurriedly explained that although these newspapers can be seen not from one family, they are of very good quality, both paper and ink are of top quality; although the newspapers are basically spoken vernacular, the word selection is quite particular, without self-made words or local slang, and there is no obscure reading throughout the article. The added punctu certainly shows that the newspaper is not prepared for readers who are capable of making sentences by themselves, but it has indeed greatly improved the reading speed, making Soetu and others feel very comfortable. In short, these newspapers completely subverted the traditional impression of Soetu and others on the movable type prints of the masters who have read the newspaper. Soetu presented only a newspaper, and there was a whole box behind him, all brought back from Tianjin.

"Enough, what's there to see? I'm lying all over the article." Sony glanced at the front page title of Chengdu Weekly. This was a report on the Caoyin Transportation Agreement. When this newspaper was issued, the Caoyin Transportation Agreement had just been discussed at the hospital meeting. Chengdu Weekly reported the known content of the agreement. The hospital debated the agreement, and then spent half a page to explain the newspaper reporter's perception of the pros and cons of the agreement.

In Sony's view, no government would reveal such things and allow people other than officials to express their opinions (whether it is a court meeting or a newspaper), so the purpose of the newspaper is obviously to deceive the Qing court. Sony believes that this was a strategy that Sichuan deliberately transported to Tianjin and then used to mislead the senior officials of the Qing court.

"Go and prepare well. When the imperial court's order comes down, you go to Shandong to report to Prince Kang!"

Seeing that his father threw the newspaper aside angrily, Soetu bowed and left.

Before it was dark, Soetu went out to discuss with several other juniors of the regents. Recently, Wang Yuele of Anqing also began to become interested in making money from the regime trading market. Although he hated compromise with Sichuan people, Yuele believed that those profits should belong to the Qing Dynasty. Since the weak regents could not bring the money back for the emperor, King Anqing had to take action and get some money back for the Qing Dynasty as much as possible - even if he took back Prince An's mansion, it would be a rotten meat in the pot, right?

"Who did you hear the conspiracy that King Anqing said?" Guarjia asked.

King Anqing plans to invest 3,000 taels of shares. First of all, it is a large sum of money. Prince An will definitely be rewarded if he makes money. Secondly, with Prince An escort, these noble children who are short-selling have a backbone, and the sky falls, there will be a tall man Yue Le, who is holding on to him.

Therefore, the sons of the regent ministers who had an average relationship with Prince An suddenly became concerned about Prince An. According to Prince An, there seemed to be a conspiracy against him and Prince Kang recently: they found a few robbers from their palaces, drew a sketch of their palaces, and then said that they were painted by Deng Ming. The implication was that Deng Ming had stayed in their palaces. Prince An suspected that this was the regent minister who wanted to deal with him, and avenged the regent when the "Kangxi" case broke out that year, he and Prince Kang could not give the regent to the regent ministers.

Everyone shook their heads together, and Soetu whispered: "As far as I know, the picture was really not created by Ama and the others, but was sent by Zu Zepu secretly. It seemed that it was really from Deng Minghua."

"My uncle said the same."

Several people slapped their heads in annoyance. They finally improved their relationship with Yue Le, but were disturbed by Zu Zepu's mess--You are a sesame-like governor, why are you framed the prince for nothing? You even framed two in one breath. Did you take the courage of Xiong Xin and Leopard?

"Forget it, let's explain the matter of the exchange to the prince first. Have you used up the newspaper?" A man asked Soetu and said, several newspapers also mentioned the new thing of the regime exchange to the scholars of Sichuan, and they were more clear than the Niuhulu who had already gone to Anqing.

"Go back to get it to Prince An's mansion tomorrow morning."

Just now, because my father looked bad, Soetu didn't dare to retrieve his newspaper in front of Sony. He was afraid that Sony would be angry when he saw it, so he asked Baoyi to throw all his treasures into the fire. After returning home, Soetu waited until dark, and guessed that Sony should go to bed, Soetu slipped to his father's study and planned to move his newspaper box away.

Unexpectedly, the box that was originally placed at the door disappeared, and Soetu felt a slap in his heart: "Don't it be burned by Ama, right? Or did I move into the study? No, I remember I put it at the door and only put one in it."

What's worse is that the lights are still on in the study.

"No, Ama is sleeping when it's dark now. It's time to go to bed for more than an hour, right?" It's about sending the newspaper from Yue Le tomorrow. Soetu could only grit his teeth and approach the crack of the door, trying to peek at the movement inside.

"Stern, are you?" An old voice came from the door. It was the regent minister Sony: "Come in."

Although he knew that his father had a very smart ears throughout his life, Soetu was still shocked. Since he couldn't escape, he had to bite the bullet and push open the door and laugh in to pay his respects to his father: "Ama is not asleep yet."

In the study, Sony was sitting in front of the candle and reading the newspaper. Soetu saw his box at his father's feet at a glance, and it was empty inside.

"I saw the present without realizing it." Sony put down the newspaper and turned to look at his son: "You think, how many of them are there really?"

"I don't know, my son feels like he looks real." Soetu answered honestly.

"The newspaper said that it can be ordered, and even Wuchang can be ordered, just add money." Sony thought for a moment: "If I want someone to order one in Wuchang and then send it back to Beijing through Zhang Changgeng's eyes and ears, can you do it?"

After a pause, Sony pointed to the newspaper that had been spread out on the table and said, "This bank newspaper is all nonsense, it's worthless, I don't have time to read it; I have to order the other three copies, just the first page of this "Tongxiucai Newspaper". The rest are all fox fairies, so I don't have to send them back to the capital."
