() Chapter 492 Countermeasures

On the eighth day of the lunar month, the second issue of the mansion newspaper started to be released. This time it was twice as many as the previous time, with a total of 10,000 copies. It was distributed at five sales outlets in Duzhong. It was distributed in less than a quarter of an hour. The content of this issue was more perfect. Some of the feedback received before were also rectified, and there was a lot of praise from top to bottom.

The most discussed story is naturally the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Because I wanted to watch it myself, some rich children even paid ten taels or hundreds of taels to buy a mansion to read it themselves. There are indeed fewer entertainment projects in this era, and the stories I have watched have always been the same. "A Chinese Ghost Story" has completely aroused their reading**.

After thinking about it, Jia Baoyu improved the story and went out from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", turning the original short film into a long story, adding factors such as the mysterious gate and the demon world. The brilliant mysterious techniques and magic can naturally shock these people. For a moment, Jia Baoyu's identity as the master of the story actually tended to cover the identity of the top scholar.

The booming development of the di newspaper was expected by Jia Baoyu, and it has been profitable since this issue. The advertisements on it were enough to make 100,000 copies. Zhou Xing originally meant to print it, but it was stopped by Jia Baoyu. The rare goods are very popular. Moreover, it has not been fully spread yet. After a while, the di newspaper spreads across the country, it will truly show its role.

This thing is under the names of Shui Fu, Jia Baoyu and Zhou Xing. Others cannot do it even if they want to intervene. In fact, Jia Baoyu and Zhou Xing are the leaders. Jia Baoyu and Zhou Xing have spent a lot of effort and actively contact other prefectures across the country to prepare to make the newspaper a national quality.

This proposal was strongly supported by Emperor Huaqing and Zhou Ping, but Jia Baoyu only put forward some opinions on how to implement it, and the others were handed over to Zhou Xing, which was also suspected of avoiding suspicion. Otherwise, Jia Baoyu secretly used public opinion in the newspaper in the future, which would remind people of himself at the first time.

Although the good results of the Dibao were achieved, Jia Baoyu did not see Zhou Xing today, which made Jia Baoyu vaguely know what would happen. Sure enough, when Jia Baoyu came back at noon, Zhou Xing came, and his face was not as happy as the Dibao was in a fire. Instead, he was extremely solemn, "Baoyu, my father asked you to go to the mansion."

This situation is not much beyond Jia Baoyu's expectations, but Jia Baoyu was still a little scared. Last time it was a showdown, but this time it was afraid that it would be the result. Is it like the son-in-law seeing his father-in-law or Zhou Ping's bolt from the blue? You're welcome, all this is here today.

Jia Baoyu was nervous, and Zhou Xing was even more nervous than Jia Baoyu. In fact, Zhou Xing did not want any result. He did not have the consciousness of modern people like Jia Baoyu, fearlessness of imperial power, nor did Zhou Ping have the great ability to dominate everything. Compared to him, he hoped that nothing happened and everyone forgot it.

At that corner, Jia Baoyu saw Zhou Xi for a long time. Both of them stopped. Zhou Xing's face looked a little ugly and at a loss. Finally, Zhou Xing sighed and asked Jia Baoyu to wait here for a while, and walked towards Zhou Xi alone.

Zhou Xi knew that Zhou Xing must have known about her and Jia Baoyu. Although they had never seen each other for such a long time, Zhou Xi still knew something about Zhou Ping. For the first time in his life, he became a little scared of his brother. When Zhou Xing was about to come to him, Zhou Xi took a step back, then lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhou Xing.

Seeing this, Zhou Xing was full of complaints and could not say anything about blame, "You have suffered so much for the years, Xi'er." After saying this, Zhou Xing turned around and left.

Zhou Xi didn't expect what Zhou Xing said, looking at Zhou Xing's back as he left, then looked at Jia Baoyu in the distance. This was two of the three men she valued most in her life. Zhou Xi held back her tears and hurriedly left.

The road after Jia Baoyu and Zhou Xing seemed a little dull. No one said anything when he arrived at the Zhou Mansion. After taking the horse to the servants and leaving the stable, Zhou Xing said, "The ancestors now know that you are coming here. They say that you will go to her after discussing the matter with your father. I want to go to the ancestors first, and you can go to the study alone."

Jia Baoyu nodded. The two of them walked out of the middle gate. After not having too much trouble, Jia Baoyu met Zhou Ping again. This time Zhou Ping's condition really scared Jia Baoyu. It seemed like Zhou Ping was ten years older than before. Jia Baoyu had never heard of such a thing before!

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" If Zhou Ping had become like this because of Zhou Xi's incident, Jia Baoyu would definitely not believe it. If it had been long ago, there must be some other things that would have affected him.

Zhou Ping smiled when he saw Jia Baoyu, "Don't worry! It's not because of your business, I'm not that fragile, it's the old lady's business." Old Mrs. Zhou suffered from incurable diseases, and I'm afraid there was no more time. This was the result this morning. It's easy to understand why Zhou Ping became like this.

If it is considered a relationship, Mrs. Zhou is the closest person Zhou Ping is in his heart. From living hard with the young Zhou Ping to Zhou Ping’s examination and getting fame, to the years of supervision of Zhou Ping, to the current Zhou Ping, Mrs. Zhou has made great contributions.

Such a person, his mother is going to go, but he has no choice. This is indeed a huge blow to Zhou Ping, and there is another real problem. Zhou Ping has found out from some clues that Emperor Huaqing is really not very good.

Zhou Ping couldn't stand the three blows of his daughter's cheating, the loyal monarch's distrust, and the mother's terminal illness. He suddenly had the idea of ​​whether he was old, so that Zhou Xing would call Jia Baoyu over.

"Teacher, please take care of yourself!" Jia Baoyu's true feelings are not fictional at all.

Zhou Ping smiled, "Don't worry! I'm not the kind of person who can be defeated by small setbacks. I asked you to come this time because I wanted to hear your ideas, what are you planning to do."

Jia Baoyu always felt that there was a little bit of a right thing, but Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei seemed to be neither suitable for him nor Zhou Ping, so he smiled it in his heart. Jia Baoyu had also thought about this issue for a long time, but there was no one who could discuss it well, and Zhou Ping was undoubtedly the most suitable one.

"Your Majesty's meaning must be to solve everything before he goes, leaving it to the prince, but this is afraid that most of the resources will be consumed. If nothing unexpected happens, your power will definitely be the first to be affected, especially when the teacher is not prepared."

Zhou Ping nodded and signaled Jia Baoyu to continue speaking. Jia Baoyu did not analyze the situation. He had just applied it before. Zhou Ping was more clear than Jia Baoyu. "There is only one way at present, that is, to expand his strength and constantly expand, so big that he will not be defeated by others. Whether it is literary or military, in the court or in the wild, only when he is strong can he really protect himself."

"I'm already strong enough, no matter how powerful I am, I will only suffer a blow."

Jia Baoyu shook his head after hearing this, "Maybe this will be the case under normal circumstances, but now the situation in Huachao teacher do you think it is normal? The king is not a king, the minister is not a minister, and the heaven is not a different person, let alone the third one."

"How do you do it?" Zhou Ping asked with a frown.

"I don't know about this Baoyu. Teacher, you know much more than me. How to use the most effective and safest method to improve your strength, especially from the military."

Zhou Ping looked at Jia Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, you seem to be pointing something!"

Since Zhou Ping saw that Jia Baoyu was not polite, he said: "Now the border army needs urgent rectification, and forcibly rectifying will definitely cause major problems. I think if the teacher has a way to rectify the border army secretly and take them for himself, it would be the most appropriate, so that he can protect himself and the country."

"The border army does need rectification. Everyone can see this, but it has not moved. Do you know why Baoyu?"

Jia Baoyu nodded, "It will move the whole body with one move. Doing such rectification will inevitably require the whole country to make the best of the whole country. Now the whole country is obviously unable to match it, and no one is willing to make the first move."

"Since Baoyu, you know, what other ways do you think can be rectified and controlled? The tiger can hurt people."

Jia Baoyu thought about this question for a long time and said, "Of course, it is not possible to do a big move, but starting from the bottom, mastering the officers and soldiers at the bottom step by step, from bottom to top, and cultivating a person who can replace them. If this process is done well, it is probably a big breakthrough in a few years."

Jia Baoyu was a little excited, but Zhou Ping was a little scared. He found that he could not understand Jia Baoyu's mind at all. "Baoyu, why are you doing? As long as your status in the Jia family is not a big mistake, at most it will be a family that will fall into the middle, but it does not mean that there is no possibility of rising."

Jia Baoyu smiled bitterly, "Of course I know, but it was not my decision whether to make a mistake or not. Someone in our family has made big mistakes and has absolutely no idea of ​​protecting themselves. If you want to protect yourself, you can only take risks."

"I probably know what you said, but I need to think about this matter carefully. You can go to the old lady's place first! She wants to see you a little."

Jia Baoyu knew that Zhou Ping needed to think carefully. This path was said to be self-protection, but after self-protection, it was a path for powerful ministers. From ancient times to the present, powerful ministers have never had a good ending. What's more, the teachings Zhou Ping accepted made him not want to be a powerful minister. However, Jia Baoyu was confident that Zhou Ping would definitely agree with his proposal.
