Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 322 Damn it! It turns out you were the ones who tricked me! (Please subscribe!!)

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words.

Mao Youde, Zhao Si, Liu Dongqiang and other businessmen were still confused, but they had some more thoughts in their hearts. The emergence of this thought made them feel terrible!

"Prince-in-law, is public opinion something we can control?"

Mao Youde asked cautiously.

"Yes! There are so many people in the world, how can they all listen to us." Zhao Si shook his head.

Other businessmen also showed a skeptical attitude.

Ouyang Lun smiled slightly, "Of course you can. Of course it's not direct control, but just through some means."

"Hey - actually I don't want to touch this area so early. After all, controlling public opinion requires too much investment, and many of the benefits are invisible. If you mess up, it can easily backfire on you."

"But I have encountered some troublesome things recently, so I can only control this public opinion in advance!"

Hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Mao Youde immediately asked, "Prince-in-law, did that blind person offend you? Tell us who it is. You don't need to take action, just leave it to us!"

"Yes! If you have trouble with you, you have trouble with us. We will never let this person have an easy time!"

Ouyang Lun sighed: "Didn't we encounter a lot of things during this period? The emperor asked me to deal with Prince Jin's affairs, and now I have pretty much handled them. All parties are satisfied with the result, especially the people. Since they have treated me The incident of the official beating the King of Jin was turned into a story and opera, and it is now performed by troupes all over the country, and many people spend money to order this play."

"Damn it, isn't this hurting me!"

"I finally feel relaxed. There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm us!"

Ouyang Lun became more and more depressed as he talked, "You said it happened not long ago. No matter how happy the people are, how could they produce all the stories, scripts, and dramas in such a short period of time?"

"I am increasingly suspicious that there is a dark hand behind the scenes that is fueling the situation."

"Don't let me know who this guy is, I have to deal with him!"

After listening to Ouyang Lun's words, the faces of the businessmen began to change, and their expressions became increasingly weird.

Ouyang Lun naturally noticed this change and waved his hand, "I didn't tell you, don't be scared."

"Forehead"

"Cough cough."

The faces of the businessmen became even more embarrassed.

"Huh!?" Ouyang Lun suddenly noticed something was wrong, "Do you know something?"

"Mao Youde, tell me!"

Mao Youde said cautiously: "Well, Prince Consort, if I say that we actually did this, you won't be angry, right?"

brush--

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun stood up directly, and his voice suddenly rose several decibels, "What? What did you just say?"

"Prince-in-law, I just said that the man behind the scenes you were talking about is actually us!"

Ouyang Lun's face instantly darkened, "Why are you doing this! Tell me clearly, or I'll beat you to death!"

shake--

All the businessmen were frightened by Ouyang Lun's words.

Mao Youde hurriedly said: "Prince-in-law, the thing is like this, didn't we find out that you were grounded, and we were all warned by Jin Yiwei. At that time, each of us was very scared, and we all wanted to have a dinner together. Then they all went their separate ways."

"Wait!" Ouyang Lun glanced at Mao Youde and others, "You guys were thinking of running away at first! Unfortunately, I thought you were very loyal, unlike other businessmen. It seems that I think highly of you. Got it!"

"Ahem." Mao Youde said awkwardly: "Prince-in-law, it's really not our fault! At that time we heard that His Majesty the Emperor chopped off the heads of three corrupt officials in one go. Prince-in-law, you were also banned, and you were also arrested by the Jinyi Guards Look, you are our backer and you are in this situation. We businessmen are just meat on other people’s chopping boards. Without your protection, our consort, sooner or later we will have to fight to death or run away!"

"In the end, Boss Liu stood up and analyzed the situation with us, saying that we could not abandon the prince-in-law and had to do something for him."

"So you secretly support the spread of my story and opera about beating King Jin?! You are really amazing!"

Ouyang Lun said angrily.

Mao Youde glanced at Liu Dongqiang and said, "Boss Liu asked us to do this. Just say something!"

Liu Dongqiang had already buried his head under the table, but when Mao Youde shouted, Liu Dongqiang had no choice but to raise his head.

"Prince-in-law, this is what I think. As long as your prestige among the people is high enough, His Majesty the Emperor will not deal with you easily. The more people support you, the safer you will be!"

"I have been thinking about it for a long time, and then I came up with the idea of ​​turning many of your stories into stories and dramas to be staged across the country. People already have a good impression of you. With these stories and dramas, it will be easy to enhance your prestige!"

"I never expected such a result!"

"Please, Prince Consort, please spare my life!"

puff-

Liu Dongqiang knelt down directly.

With Liu Dongqiang taking the lead, businessmen such as Mao Youde and Zhao Si also knelt down one after another, trembling all over.

Ouyang Lun was also very angry at this moment.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of who would harm him again. It turned out that this person was none other than one of his own.

"Okay, get up!"

Ouyang Lun waved his hands angrily.

He must be angry, but things have already happened. He can't just kill people like Mao Youde and Liu Dongqiang.

"Thank you, Prince Consort!"

Mao Youde and others got up cautiously.

"I thought about it carefully, and I can't blame you entirely for this. You are doing bad things with good intentions." Ouyang Lun gave Liu Dongqiang a serious look, "You are indeed good. It is not easy to think of this."

"Now that this matter has been clarified, it will be easier to resolve."

"Please don't worry, Prince Consort, I will cancel all of this immediately when I get back!" Liu Dongqiang said quickly.

"It's not enough to cancel them all. We have to clean up the traces you left before. Don't let the Jin Yiwei people find out that you were behind it. In addition, you have to arrange more stories and dramas praising His Majesty the Emperor and the Ming Dynasty. Villain Just write about Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Hu Weiyong, etc. People also like to read it. What is this called - political correctness!"

"Don't do these things too blatantly. You just need to sponsor those theater troupes and restaurants occasionally. Do you understand?"

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, the businessmen suddenly realized.

"The Prince Consort is wise!"

"It would be great if we could have our consort earlier to give you guidance!"

"The Prince Consort is worried because we are not careful enough."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this anymore. Just do as I say. Do this well first, and tell me everything you want to do in the future. Otherwise, if something happens, , don’t blame me for not fishing for you!”

"Go, go, go!" "Yes!"

Mao Youde, Zhao Si and others left in a hurry.

"That Liu Dongqiang, you stay here!"

!!!

Liu Dongqiang looked at Mao Youde, Zhao Si and others as if he had been cast on a bodyguard, as if asking for help.

"Boss Liu, the consort asked you to stay alone, so we will accompany him!"

"Suddenly I remembered that there are still things to deal with at home, so take the first step!"

"Boss Liu, take care!"

In the blink of an eye, Mao Youde and others disappeared.

puff-

Before Ouyang Lun could speak, Liu Dongqiang turned around and knelt down to Ouyang Lun again.

"Prince-in-law, I am really wrong. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a child under three years old. There are still a hundred people in the family waiting for me to raise. Please let me live!" "

Ouyang Lun frowned, "Get out of here, did I say I wanted to kill you?"

Hearing this, Liu Dongqiang was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he raised his head cautiously, "Prince-in-law, are you really not going to kill me?"

"Do you really want to die in my hands?" Ouyang Lun asked with a smile.

"Don't think about it, I haven't lived enough yet!" Liu Dongqiang continued to add, "I still want to make a lot of money with you, my consort!"

"Okay, stop flattering me. I'm keeping you mainly for one thing."

"Please give me the order, Prince Consort, I, Liu Dongqiang, must complete it even if I risk my life!" Liu Dongqiang said, patting his chest.

Ouyang Lun asked directly: "Do you know Yong'an Daily?"

Liu Dongqiang thought for a while and nodded, "Returning to Prince Consort, when I went to Beizhili to purchase goods, Zeng Jin heard from the locals that it seemed to be an agency for the government to release news. They would print the news on a piece of paper. On paper, it is released every seven days, called "

"Newspaper!" Ouyang Lun said.

"That's right, just call the newspaper. If you buy the latest edition of the newspaper, you can know the major events that have happened in Yong'an Mansion in the past seven days." Liu Dongqiang nodded repeatedly.

"So what do you think of this newspaper?"

Ouyang Lun continued to ask.

Upon hearing this question, Liu Dongqiang suddenly hesitated.

"Since I leave you alone, I just want to hear your thoughts. Don't have any worries. Tell me everything you think of. If you speak well, I will give you another idea to make money!"

Ouyang Lun saw Liu Dongqiang's hesitation and comforted him.

Ouyang Lun's words had an immediate impact and were very effective for Liu Dongqiang.

"Since the prince-in-law asked me to speak, I will say so!" Liu Dongqiang thought for a moment and said, "Prince-in-law, this Yong'an Daily and Newspaper is simply a genius idea, but..."

Liu Dongqiang carefully observed Ouyang Lun's expression, and after confirming that the latter's expression had not changed, he continued: "But if you want to understand the newspaper, you need to be able to read. There are not many people who can read in the Ming Dynasty. This will inevitably affect The spread and growth of newspapers among the people!"

"And ordinary people won't spend money to read newspapers. With this money, they might as well go to a teahouse, order a cup of tea and listen to Mr. Shu's stories!"

pop-

After listening to Liu Dongqiang's explanation, Ouyang Lun applauded directly.

"As expected of someone who can think of gathering the power of businessmen and stirring up public opinion. You are indeed outstanding!"

"Prince-in-law Miao Zan!" Liu Dongqiang said with a smile.

"You analyzed the biggest drawbacks of Yong'an Daily and newspapers, which I didn't consider at the beginning. It's not that I didn't consider it at all, but things developed too fast. I originally wanted to spend a few more years to bring Beizhili to It will be used as a pilot project to carry out literacy campaigns to improve the popularity of Chinese characters, and a new five-year plan will also be outlined."

"It's just that now that I've been transferred to the capital, I can't handle many things personally."

"You support opera, story telling and guide public opinion behind the scenes, which makes me think of a better way!"

With that said, Ouyang Lun looked at Liu Dongqiang and asked with a serious face: "Liu Dongqiang, are you willing to serve as the editor-in-chief of Yong'an Daily?"

"Be the editor-in-chief of Yong'an Daily?"

Liu Dongqiang was stunned and said.

"Yes, I created the Yong'an Daily. However, since I came to the capital, the development of Yong'an Daily has been extremely slow. It can even be said to have stagnated. It has been trapped in Yong'an Mansion. I plan to send a capable person Someone smart enough will take me to Yong'an Mansion to develop Yong'an Daily and eventually become a national media company!"

"The so-called media trading company can be understood as a trading company that sells news. It collects news from all over the country and even abroad, then collects it on a piece of paper, and finally sells it to those who need it!"

"For example, officials, squires, scholars, restaurant storytellers, businessmen, etc.!"

"In the future, people in Ming Dynasty will be literate, and they can be sold to ordinary people!"

"Of course, we can't just rely on newspapers, we can also diversify our development, such as investing in theater troupes, restaurants, teahouses, bookstores, etc.!"

Listening to Ouyang Lun's explanation, Liu Dongqiang's eyes shone and he said excitedly: "If we can really do what the Prince Consort said, then wouldn't it mean that the world's public opinion is in our hands! This is what the Prince Consort calls public opinion control, right? !”

Ouyang Lun nodded, "Not bad, not bad. Children can be taught!"

"Then have you made a decision now?"

"Go! The prince consort looks up to the younger ones, and the younger ones can't live up to the trust of the prince consort!!" As a businessman, Liu Dongqiang is keenly aware of the huge business opportunities and energy contained in this.

Once you control public opinion, you have the ability to stir up troubles!

"very good!"

"When you get to Beizhili, you go find a man named Shui Youxiu, and he will arrange it for you."

"Yes!" Liu Dongqiang nodded heavily.

"Okay, go down and get ready!" Ouyang Lun waved his hand.

"Yes." Liu Dongqiang saluted Ouyang Lun and was about to leave immediately, but just as he turned around, he turned back and said expectantly: "Prince-in-law, you just said that you would like to give me an extra money-making idea. You Are you talking about what you say?"

Ouyang Lun said angrily: "As a businessman, you are so greedy!"

"Hey, no one wants to miss this opportunity to make money!" Liu Dongqiang said with a smile.

"Since I promised you, I will naturally not break my promise." Ouyang Lun thought for a moment, "Yes! I remember that you seem to sell groceries, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, I will sell whatever the people need! There are many shops in Beijing and Beizhili! In the business of selling groceries, I think I am number one and no one dares to think of me as number two!" Liu Dongqiang said with a look on his face. said proudly.

Ouyang Lun smiled slightly, "Then have you ever thought about creating your own logistics system?"
