The strategist on the other side, seeing that Li Chengze remained silent, knew that this plan would not work.
So he confidently spoke up;
"Your Highness, the news from the Recruitment Hall is so popular right now."
"Why don't you follow suit and build a Juxianzhuang (Hall of Gathering Heroes) and start a newspaper to compete with them!"
Li Chengze was somewhat tempted.
But soon, he shook his head.
Imitation is not difficult!
But where could he find someone who could write an article like "The Young Qingguo Says"?
I'm afraid you couldn't find one like it in the entire Qing Kingdom!
Perhaps only Zhuang Mohan, a great literary figure from the Northern Qi Dynasty, could do that?
But here's the problem: The great literary figures of the Northern Qi Dynasty...
Why should I serve the second prince of Nanqing?
To be honest, he was quite impressed that Li Chengqian could write such an article.
I still find it hard to believe.
But the Snow Swordsman's Path,
He thought he could go and find the Dream of the Red Chamber, which he had recently heard of, and challenge it.
However, it seems that the Dream of the Red Chamber originated from the Fan family.
Fan Jian, the Vice Minister of Revenue, has always been neutral and has a good relationship with Emperor Qing.
Given his status as the second prince,
It would be difficult to get Fan Jian to hand over the author of Dream of the Red Chamber!
and,
He recently heard that
Fan Sizhe, the eldest son of the Fan family, also joined the Recruitment Hall.
The implications of this made him very irritable.
Could it be that the Fan family has secretly sided with the Crown Prince?
With a long sigh, the second prince turned his gaze to a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was of average appearance.
Only his eyes seemed bright and piercing.
His name is Zhang An.
He is a newly recruited staff member.
Quick-witted and exceptionally resourceful.
On several occasions, his suggestions and strategies were appreciated by Li Chengze.
"Zhang An, what do you think?"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone,
Zhang An smiled slightly and said calmly;
"In my opinion, Your Highness has no need to be angry or anxious."
"Oh?"
The second prince was taken aback.
Zhang An spoke eloquently:
"First, the new newspaper is too popular. The first issue has a total of 100,000 copies, and each copy only costs 5 copper coins."
"After deducting all kinds of costs and labor, plus the lottery benefits, it's definitely a loss-making venture."
"As everyone knows, this money comes from the Imperial Treasury, and we will absolutely not allow the Crown Prince to continue to squander it so recklessly."
Li Chengze's eyes lit up. "That makes sense, continue!"
"Secondly, I've heard that the Crown Prince himself writes all the articles for the newspaper. If the newspaper continues to be published, it will inevitably take up more and more of the Crown Prince's energy, which is definitely a good thing for Your Highness!"
Li Chengze nodded repeatedly.
indeed!
If the Crown Prince spends most of his energy on the content of the newspaper in the future,
That would give him more freedom to do whatever he wants and pull some dirty tricks.
The crown prince simply couldn't handle it all.
"Therefore, Your Highness need not be in a hurry."
"Give it a while, and the newspaper will naturally quiet down!"
Zhang An smiled calmly.
Upon seeing this, Li Chengze couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He looked at Zhang An with increasing satisfaction.
With this person's assistance, he is bound to achieve great things in the future!
In the East Palace.
Li Chengqian was unaware that someone was already eyeing the Xinbao newspaper.
Because at that moment, he was meeting with someone.
This person was none other than Luo Guanzhong, whom he had recruited through the system yesterday!
Brothers, new book launch, need your data support!

Chapter 20 The Advertising Effect!
O020O advertising effect!
Early this morning,
Li Chengqian then received the news from the Recruitment Hall.
There was a middle-aged man in his forties named Luo Guanzhong.
They came specifically to seek refuge with the Crown Prince.
Li Chengqian obtained all the information about this person immediately.
The records state that this person is forty-two years old.
He was an ordinary scholar from Kyoto.
He failed the imperial examinations multiple times when he was young.
Later, both parents passed away due to illness.
They could only make a living by selling books from their own bookstore.
Sure enough, the system made these people's backgrounds seamless, allowing them to blend perfectly into this world.
Inside the Zhengyang Hall of the Eastern Palace.
When Li Chengqian saw the middle-aged man who looked like a scholar striding towards him.
A sense of unreality arose in my mind.
It's as if I've seen an ancient person.
We crossed the long river of history and walked step by step to stand before him.
"This humble subject, Luo Guanzhong, pays his respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Mr. Luo, please rise!"
"The Crown Prince has summoned me to this world, and I will serve him with all my might, even unto death!"
Li Chengqian smiled and nodded.
All characters drawn from the system have 100% loyalty to him.
There is no doubt that it is zero.
6 At this moment, Li Chengqian spoke:
"From now on, the publication of my Zhaoxian Hall newspaper will depend entirely on Mr. Luo."
Upon hearing this,
Luo Guanzhong said in a deep voice, "This humble subject will never let the Crown Prince down!"
5 on that day,
5. The Hall of Recruiting Talents welcomed a new manager.
They were specifically responsible for the distribution of the new newspaper.
Luo Guanzhong also demonstrated exceptional talent.
They adapt extremely quickly.
In just two or three days,
He organized the relevant matters of the newspaper in a very orderly manner.
Meanwhile, preparations for the release of the second issue of the newspaper have also begun.
Compared to Li Chengqian's writing of "The Young Qingguo" in the first episode,
