The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 163: Jiang Fan is praised to death

The first issue of the newspaper was a report on the military situation in Jinzhou, which widely publicized that the Northern Mongols had not kept their promise and had sent troops to seize Jinzhou from Dayan.

In addition, they also boasted about how Jiang Fan outsmarted the Northern Mongolian envoy in the Golden Palace and won the bet.

The final conclusion is that Beimeng is despicable and shameless. By not keeping the bet, it is clearly a slap in the face of Dayan and the Eighth Prince.

Then, they began to praise Jiang Fan for how he eliminated the bandits on the way to Huaining, and how he captured the bandit camp. In short, they praised Jiang Fan to the highest level on earth and in heaven!

Then, at the end of the newspaper, it hoped that Jiang Fan would take action, teach Bei Meng a lesson, and take back Jinzhou. It also claimed that Jiang Fan had the absolute strength to take back Jinzhou that Bei Meng had taken.

As the newspaper praised Jiang Fan, it suddenly ignited the enthusiasm of the people and attracted many buyers.

Jiang Fan has a high reputation among the people, so a newspaper praising Jiang Fan is certainly welcomed by them, even though this newspaper is almost the same as Jiang Fan's Kyoto Morning News.

At the same time, many people in the capital city called for the Eighth Prince Jiang Fan to lead his army to retake Jinzhou. The calls became more and more intense under the impetus of some people.

Some people have even come to Jiang Fan’s palace to petition, hoping that Jiang Fan can send troops to Jinzhou!

At the corner of the alley not far from the prince's mansion, a carriage was parked there. Sitting in the carriage were the eldest, third, and fifth princes, as well as several court officials including Ye Ren, Fan Xian, and Huang Zhenren.

Looking at the people gathered in front of Prince Jiang Fan's mansion, several of them showed amusement, coldness, and a bit of pride on their faces.

Especially when seeing these people holding their Kyoto Morning Post in their hands, the pride in their eyes became even stronger.

"Grandpa, you played this trick beautifully. Not only did our newspaper become famous, it also gave us a way to make money. We can also use the newspaper to suppress Jiang Fan. Haha... That's awesome!"

"Yes, Jiang Fan would never have thought that his movable type printing technology and cheap paper would eventually benefit us. His newspaper idea was borrowed by us. I guess he would be so angry that he would die on the spot after knowing this."

"Once our newspaper advertising space is released, how much money can we make? I dare not even think about it! Jiang Fan is making wedding clothes for others! Haha..."

"What's the point of doing things for others? The newspaper will become his death warrant. The impact of the newspaper will force him to go to Jinzhou. By then, how can we kill him? It will be as simple as raising our hands!"

"Haha... I have such a good time today. Let's go... let's go have a drink and celebrate!" Ye Ren laughed happily.

They have been feeling very aggrieved during this period of time. The influence of the newspapers on them has not yet dissipated, so they have been almost living in fear for a long time.

Now, they have also published newspapers and have forced Jiang Fan to surrender. With so many people coming to their door to voice their demands, they don’t believe that Jiang Fan would dare to refuse to go to Jinzhou.

If they don't go, Jiang Fan's prestige among the people will drop greatly, and then it will be time for them to reap the fruits of victory.

Not only will Jiang Fan's newspaper be replaced by theirs, but Jiang Fan will even become a target of public condemnation.

As for Jiang Fan, if he went to Jinzhou, he would have no way to die. No matter where it was, Jiang Fan would have no way to retreat.

"By the way, Prime Minister Ye, the paper we use is Jiang Fan's. If he stops selling cheap paper, won't we be in trouble?" At this time, Huang Zhenren suddenly spoke up.

His words immediately caused silence among the people in the carriage. Everyone looked at each other, as if they had just remembered this question.

Yes, the paper they used was Jiang Fan’s cheap paper. Otherwise, if they had used other paper, they would probably have lost everything.

Several people looked at each other and then looked at Ye Ren.

Ye Ren met everyone's gaze, stroked his beard, and said with a trace of disdain on his lips: "What are you afraid of? Does Jiang Fan dare not sell cheap paper now? If he stops selling cheap paper, how many people do you think will come out to scold him?"

"Don't forget, he said that this paper is in unlimited supply and will continue to be supplied. If he dares to stop supplying, we will organize those scholars to cause trouble!"

"At worst, we can use other paper at a loss for a few days. When things get out of hand, he will still have to supply cheap paper! Even if we don't use his paper at that time, once the business section makes money, we will still make money even if we don't use his paper. What's there to be afraid of!"

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded in agreement.

Yes, if Jiang Fan suddenly stops supplying cheap paper, those scholars and common people who have benefited from it will be furious and will curse Jiang Fan to death. Jiang Fan will be breaking his promise to the people of the world!

Once their newspapers completely dominate the market, the money earned from advertising in the business section will be enough for them to use other papers.

The few people who were originally in a heavy mood suddenly felt inexplicably cheerful.

They could foresee that Jiang Fan would know that it was their doing but would be helpless and furious. Just thinking about it made them feel even happier.

So, they left here in a proud and happy mood to celebrate!

On the other hand, after learning about the appearance of the morning paper, Emperor Yan stood there for a long time, anger welling up in his eyes. How could he not know who was causing the trouble?

But it was impossible for him to ban the morning paper. After all, there was no relevant decree. If he wanted to ban the morning paper, Jiang Fan’s morning paper would have to be banned as well. Otherwise, it would cause public resentment!

Nowadays, newspapers are deeply rooted in people's hearts. If the newspaper is banned rashly, it is unknown what will happen. Not to mention, he didn't want to ban Jiang Fan's Morning Post.

But he felt disgusted by the trouble these people were causing, and he now only hoped that Jiang Fan could think of a way to deal with it.

Otherwise, if Ye Ren and others succeed in publishing the newspaper, it will be of no benefit to Jiang Fan.

When Jiang Fan learned about the appearance of the morning paper and the people coming to petition, he just smiled. While others were extremely anxious, he looked calm.

"Brother Fan, do you have a plan?" Compared to others, Chu Yan'er was much calmer. She had blind confidence in Jiang Fan.

Hearing this, Jiang Fan smiled at Chu Yan'er and said, "Of course we have a plan, but we can't act too quickly, otherwise... how can we make them regret it? We should hit the snake at its weakest point. If we don't act, it's fine. But once we act, we must make sure they don't have any chance to turn things around."

As soon as he said this, the Chu brothers and two girls, who were originally worried, suddenly looked curious. Chu Yan'er looked at Jiang Fan with her big eyes flashing.

Jiang Fan looked at everyone, smiled faintly and said to Chu Xiaoya:

"Xiaoya, have them publish an announcement in tomorrow's newspaper. From now on, the cooperation contract for the commercial section will be revised. Advertisements in our section will be calculated as one month. The advertising period is one month."

"In addition, there is another compensation agreement. If our newspaper is shut down, or if they suffer losses due to our newspaper, they will pay ten times the liquidated damages!"

The newspaper has now been handed over to Chu Xiaoya. This girl is very concerned about newspaper matters.

After hearing Jiang Fan's words, Chu Xiaoya and everyone else were puzzled. They didn't know what the deep meaning of Jiang Fan's sudden order was.
