After breaking off relations, the prince's family regretted it for the rest of their lives.

Chapter 185 Newspaper serialization: After breaking off relations, the prince's family regrette

The emperor and his ministers were all puzzled. What did it mean?

Chen Changan did not hide his true feelings and said loudly: "Now is the end of spring, not the best time to go to war. The emperor can send envoys to various countries."

"The conditions given by the Great Chu are that we can open a trade zone and use tea and silk as barter in exchange for soldiers and jade from various countries."

"Free trade based on the principles of fairness, justice, openness and justice."

"In this way, countries can obtain what they need for life without going to war. Who wants to go to war?"

There was still no change on the emperor's face, but Cheng Qinghe sneered.

"Master Chen, do you think this is enough?"

"The reason why barbarians are called barbarians is because they don't reason with you at all. They only think about war and robbery!"

Chen Changan shook his head and said, "The emperor didn't send an envoy, how do you know the barbarians are unwilling?"

"I said, it is impossible for the barbarians to go to war with the Great Chu at this time."

"Our envoy can say that other countries have already agreed, and you are the only one left. If you want to fight, I will fight!"

"One battle decides the outcome, and seals the Wolf's Lair!"

The emperor finally nodded and looked very pleased.

There is no emperor who doesn't want to appear tough in front of the barbarians. Although Chen Chang'an's words may have been exaggerated, they hit the emperor's heart.

Chen Changan continued, "The iron must be strong itself. The problem is still the empty treasury."

"The solution is not to rob people by despicable means, but to use our brains to find a way to make people pay honestly!"

The ministers were even more unconvinced.

The people value money as their life, so how can they be willing to give it out honestly?

Chen Changan clasped his fists towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan to offer to you."

"As far as I know, Chaoyang Bookstore is used to print various books, or to print imperial edicts when the emperor has something to announce to the world."

"Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to establish a Propaganda Department!"

The emperor was stunned. What is the Propaganda Department?

Chen Changan said seriously: "Your Majesty can order Chaoyang Bookstore to cut a piece of paper 25 cm long and 35 cm wide and name it newspaper."

"Important events in the court are published in newspapers. It is mandatory to read them aloud in teahouses, wine shops and other places where people gather. Read them aloud for half an hour every day at a fixed time!"

“Will the lack of spiritual life among the people cause a stir across the country?”

What is a newspaper?

Never heard of it!

Cheng Qinghe didn't wait for Chen Changan to explain clearly, and gritted his teeth and said, "Nonsense! How can the people participate in and know about the important events of the court?"

"If so, what is the difference between us high officials and the untouchables?"

Chen Changan was not afraid: "We are just like the untouchables, we are all human beings, there is no difference!"

"I have long said that the people are the most important, the country is second, and the emperor is the least important!"

"As citizens of Da Chu, they have the right to know everything! Especially since you are the leader and want to treat the emperor as an unjust person, they have the right to know!"

"you!"

Cheng Qinghe was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

The emperor interrupted Chen Changan and said, "Sir, please continue. Printing newspapers is not difficult, but where will the money come from?"

"Your Majesty, the people have already gathered. Are you still worried about not having money?"

Chen Changan laughed: "If I read aloud in a certain merchant, I can charge the merchant 100 taels of silver every month. If I can find customers, how can the merchant not agree?"

"One hundred taels for each family. There are more than tens of thousands of merchants in our Great Chu. How much silver is this?"

The emperor clapped his hands and laughed. It turned out that making money was so easy!

Eunuch Jing looked at Chen Changan in surprise.

Ordinary people are most concerned about national affairs. If newspapers really develop, it will undoubtedly bring huge profits to the national treasury!

Oh my God, the top scholar is really good!

I can think of such a good idea!

"It's not over yet."

Chen Changan said again: "Your Majesty, my bus can charge advertising fees, so why can't I advertise in your newspaper?"

"Even if you charge ten taels of silver for an advertisement in a daily newspaper, customers will line up!"

"This is the royal newspaper, it has credibility!"

Chen Changan was getting excited, and continued, "In addition to making a lot of money, the emperor can let the people know any national policies at the first time."

"Even if it's conscription, as long as the treatment is good enough, young people will flock to it!"

"With money, you can stand firm!"

"What can the barbarians do? If they refuse to obey and attack, the emperor will beat them until they kneel down and call him father!"

All the ministers gritted their teeth, and the emperor stood up with rapid breathing.

"Good idea, really a good idea!"

The emperor was overjoyed and nodded vigorously: "Emperor Taizu once said that it takes two guns to conquer the world!"

"The gun comes first, the pen comes second!"

"My Lord, I feel that what you said is feasible. I will do my best to follow your instructions!"

The emperor was very happy, and with his hands behind his back he ordered: "Eunuch Jing, draft an edict!"

"For the sake of our country, I have made public the major events that have occurred in the court. Anyone can discuss state affairs and assist the rise and fall of the Great Chu!"

"Order Chen Changan to be promoted to the position of Director of the Propaganda Department, a third-rank official, to manage the propaganda outlet for me."

"Let's start the experiment from Baidi. If it succeeds, we'll promote it nationwide!"

Eunuch Jing drafted the decree immediately, and Cheng Qinghe and Chu Yuntian were immediately at a loss.

They originally wanted to find a way to humiliate Chen Changan before he married the eldest princess, and then kill him later.

How could they have imagined that Chen Changan could solve the situation they thought was unsolvable with just a few casual words!

Damn, what’s wrong with Chen Changan’s head?

Seeing that the emperor had made his decision, the ministers immediately knelt down and said, "Our emperor is wise!"

"Humph!"

The emperor snorted coldly.

The law does not hold everyone responsible. These people are only concerned about their immediate interests and are treating royal affairs as a joke. Is the emperor angry?

Even if there is no one available, I will kill you!

The emperor had nothing to say to them, his eyes narrowed, "My Lord, go to Chaoyang Bookstore in the next two days, and you can use the staff there as you wish."

"Whoever dares to disobey me does not need to report to me, I will kill him directly!"

"Make the newspaper and show it to me. I look forward to hearing your good news!"

The emperor has given Chen Changan the right to act first and report later. How dare Chen Changan not do his best?

That afternoon, he went to Chaoyang Bookstore.

Because of Eunuch Jing's imperial decree and the emperor's solemn words, how could the people in Chaoyang Bookstore not cooperate?

The newspaper is divided into four sections.

The first page was about national affairs, announcing conscription information.

The first page was about the news in the market. Chen Changan sent people to collect the interesting things that happened.

The first edition is a collection of poems. After all, it is the first edition. Chen Changan mainly collected his own poems and explained them in detail.

Of course, there are advertisements inserted in the film, which is something Chen Changan is good at.

The last edition was somewhat famous, and Chen Changan wrote a serialized novel.

The title of the book is: "After the severance of relations, the prince's family regretted their whole lives!"
