Chapter 586 China Newspaper
And not only them, but also some compradors and merchants who made money by opium all suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, while Li Tian was burning opium, the prefect Li gathered all these people to discuss major issues together.
In a restaurant, the entire second floor was booked by Prefect Li.
He sat upright among all the tables, looking very powerful.
Although he was beaten by Li Tian last night and almost lost his life, no one dared to mention this matter.
Around the prefect Li, there are also owners of four opium opium shops, and many opium compradors and merchants.
These people all looked at Master Li, looking very worried.
At this time, one of the four opium opium restaurants, he couldn't help it, so he stood up and said to Prefect Li:
"Mr. Li, it's not a solution for us to sit here. Li Tian destroyed thousands of boxes of opium, and we lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. That's not all. In the future, there will be no business to do in Guangzhou. What should we do?"
Someone took the lead in saying this, and many people immediately followed him.
"Yes, this Li Tian is fierce in his methods. Not only does he destroy opium, but he dares to hit people. He is really arrogant!"
"That's right, as long as Li Tian is here, we people will not think of having a good day!"
"Mr. Li, you must find a way to solve Li Tian, otherwise he will definitely deal with us!"
Master Li sat in the main seat, listening to the noisy sounds around and the expressions on his face became a little unfavorable.
He suddenly picked up the teacup and threw it heavily on the table, making a crisp sound.
"Shut up and stop arguing!" Prefect Li shouted in great angrily.
When he yelled, everyone around him immediately became quiet.
For them, Prefect Li is still quite majestic. If Prefect Li is unhappy, the consequences may be serious.
At this time, the prefect Li suppressed everyone, and he stood up with a fat belly.
He glanced around and said, "Shut up, I will deal with this matter!"
As he said that, the prefect Li said to a middle-aged man behind him: "Afu, please send a telegram today and contact Mr. Wells, saying that his goods were destroyed by Li Tian, and ask him to put pressure on the court. Do you understand?"
He was forced to go to the forefront, so the prefect Li had no choice but to use his last move to ask for help from the foreigners.
After all, these opiums from him were sold to him by foreigners.
Ah Fu, who was standing behind Prefect Li, dared not hesitate at all, and quickly nodded and said, "Mr. Li, I understand. Don't worry, I will make it clear about the situation here!"
"Well, that's good!" Master Li nodded.
Then, the prefect Li turned his head and said to the compradors and merchants around him: "You can rest assured that we still have the opportunity to deal with Li Tian, go back and do our own business, and wait for the notice from our official."
The compradors and merchants around were relieved that they knew that the prefect Li wanted to notify foreigners to deal with Li Tian.
For today's era, foreigners were first-class people in the Qing Dynasty, and even the court had to be afraid of them.
Soon, the compradors and merchants left the restaurant.
Master Li stood there, his expression on his face was filled with haze.
This time he planned to fight Li Tian to the death, even if he fought hard, he would fight hard.
There is no way, in this case, there is only one who can make such a choice.
Otherwise, he, the prefect, would have ended up being the end.
Not to mention how the Prefect Li made arrangements and how he responded.
After Li Tian and Huang Feihong destroyed the opium, they returned to the city and booked a large restaurant. A group of people celebrated it well.
That night, Li Tian bought a lot of fireworks and set them off in the city, creating a lively atmosphere, so that the people know that Li Tian made up his mind to deal with these opiums.
Moreover, Li Tian also bought a lot of food to help some disaster victims and poor people.
After all, in this era, whether you can have a full meal is a relatively important question.
This approach has also won the support and love of many people in Guangzhou City, and won the hearts of many people.
The most important thing is that Aunt Thirteen admires Li Tian’s care for the people, and has also increased her favorability.
In this way, the whole night, the entire Guangzhou City could feel this pleasant atmosphere.
Except for the people who were unhappy in Prefect Li and others, basically everyone was very happy.
The next day, Li Tian issued a document in the yamen, and wanted to draw a place in Guangzhou City to be used as a newspaper for Aunt Thirteen.
As for the funding issue, of course, it was Li Tianlai who solved it.
There have been several newspapers in this city, but these newspapers are not very large in scale and the newspapers they publish have little influence.
This time, Li Tian directly paid a lot of money to set up the largest newspaper office.
In addition, it was arranged by the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and some people who wanted to flatter and pretended to do it immediately and did this matter very carefully.
In this way, in less than seven days, the largest newspaper appeared in Guangzhou City.
In the most prosperous area on the street, newspapers have hung up signs and invited staff.
And Aunt Thirteen is of course the main person in charge and editor-in-chief of this newspaper.
The newspaper also has its own printing factory, which was also funded by Li Tian.
Only by having your own printing factory can you express the news information of this society the most accurately and quickly, so that the people will no longer be foolish.
Aunt Thirteen wanted to do this very much, so when she was the editor-in-chief, Aunt Thirteen was also very happy.
In order to celebrate the opening of the newspaper, Aunt Thirteen specially invited Li Tian to write an inscription and gave the newspaper a name.
Li Tian’s handwriting was not very beautiful, but he gave the newspaper a name called “China Newspaper”.
Li Tianyi said this domineering name, and everyone applauded it.
In the end, the words on the plaque in this newspaper were written by Huang Feihong.
On the day of opening, Li Tian came to the newspaper office in person to congratulate Thirteenth Aunt.
Many businessmen and some small officials also came here to congratulate Aunt Thirteen.
Of course, there will be so many people coming to support you, and most of them are for Li Tian’s sake.
After all, during this period, the Prefect Li was like a small insect hiding, hiding at home and not daring to take care of the matter. Many people touched some of their eyebrows and felt that the Prefect Li was afraid of Li Tian.
So, many powerful people in this Guangzhou City came to curry favor with Li Tian.
It is normal to attract people from any era to attract people.
