Guo Zhiyuan's heart was shocked. His cheap father Guo Zhengyu had also said similar things to him. It seemed that Liu Guangxian looked like a spear, and he also saw the weakness in Guo Zhiyuan's personality. He liked to take tricks and took risks. He gave him such advice out of love. He respected Liu Guangxian even deeper. He quickly turned a solemn face and respectfully bowed to Liu Guangxian: "Thank you for your teachings, Zhiyuan must keep it in mind!"

After seeing off Liu Guangxian, Guo Zhiyuan also began to reflect. Although he passed the test safely this time, it did not mean that he could rest assured. On the contrary, he would be even more dangerous. Chen Yiguan, Huang Sihua and others could not let him go. This time the court sent the upright Liu Guangxian. What if he sent a corrupt official to investigate him next time?

After all, Guo Zhiyuan is still too weak. Huang Sihua can impeach him at any time, but he is not even qualified to submit a memorial. Even if he can submit a memorial, he cannot give it to Wanli. This means that his destiny is controlled by others. He cannot be so lucky every time, so he must find a way to control his destiny in his own hands, at least to make Chen Yiguan, Huang Sihua and others dare not find a few people like now and can falsely accuse him!

How can we make ourselves have the ability to protect ourselves in a short period of time, so that Chen Yiguan, Huang Sihua and others dare not attack him at will? Guo Zhiyuan had already thought of this, that is, to quickly gain his fame, fame is still very useful in this era. For example, Gu Xiancheng, he was demoted to the people, but because he founded Donglin Academy, initiated the Donglin Conference, and formulated the "Donglin Meeting Agreement", he gained great fame in the Shilin. Instead, he became the leader of the Donglin Party, and his influence even exceeded that of Chen Li, who served as the second assistant to the cabinet.

Gu Xiancheng should have tasted the benefits of fame. He lived in seclusion among the people but could influence the court and the people. It was much better than being controlled by others when he was an official in the court and was always worried that he would be impeached and lost his post or even his life would not be saved. So later he was recommended by many Donglin Party members to re-activate it and appointed him as the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple in Nanjing, but he refused to accept the appointment and continued to stay in his hometown to give lectures and discuss politics.

However, Guo Zhiyuan could not learn from Gu Xiancheng. Gu Xian was a great scholar. He naturally followed Donglin Academy. Guo Zhiyuan's level was just to fool the students in the county schools. If he really opened a college, he would be criticized to death. Therefore, running a college cannot allow Guo Zhiyuan to gain great fame in a short period of time.

However, Guo Zhiyuan has already thought of a way to quickly improve his reputation: run a newspaper! Running a newspaper is a must-have operation for almost all time travelers. Why? The reason is very simple. Running a newspaper can guide public opinion and spread ideas. Our great chairman said that revolution depends on the pen and gun, and the chairman ranks the pen in front. It can be seen that the pen is more important than the gun, and mastering the tools to guide public opinion and spread ideas is equivalent to mastering the pen. In this era, there is no media tool like TV and the Internet, and running a newspaper is undoubtedly the best choice.

The Ming Dynasty already had the existence of the newspaper, which was the prototype of the newspaper. However, the newspaper mainly published some official seals and edicts from the emperor. Both the layout and content were relatively simple, and the scope of dissemination was relatively small. Although the newspaper did not keep it confidential to ordinary people, most ordinary people were not literate, so they were generally only circulated within officials.

The newspaper Guo Zhiyuan wants to run is naturally not that simple. He is planning to run a real newspaper with pictures and texts. The content is not just as simple as publishing some news. Instead, like newspapers in later generations, it divides several pages, covering current affairs, social news, literary poetry, economic information, advertising and other rich contents, so that people of this era can have a refreshing feeling and quickly gain their fame.

However, running a newspaper is not that simple. Even if you need to run a newspaper in modern times, it takes at least a team of more than tens of people to support it from editing to distribution. And they all have to be capable professional talents. For a large newspaper, it may take hundreds of people to maintain operation. This is even more troublesome in this era, because there are no modern advanced typesetting and printing technologies, and all rely on hand-engraved printing. With Guo Zhiyuan's half-baked level, it must be done by professional talents.

But in this era, Guo Zhiyuan was not going to find such professional talents. So although the idea was good, it was difficult to implement it. Guo Zhiyuan thought for a long time but couldn't think of where to recruit such professional talents, so he could only let it go first. Because he had another more important thing to do, that is, he had to quickly establish the intelligence network in the capital. If he had not received the letter from the cheap father in advance, Guo Zhiyuan would have prepared in advance, maybe Guo Zhiyuan would have been taken down by the impatient Liu Guang first. However, the cheap father was far away from the capital, and it would be impossible to receive the news in advance every time, so it was urgent to establish the intelligence network in the capital.

Guo Zhiyuan had planned to set up an intelligence station in the capital before, but Zhang Cheng, as a capable man around him, had a lot of things to do, so he was not on the agenda. Now he can't wait any longer. He had to let Zhang Cheng go to the capital to build the intelligence network in the capital.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan no longer hesitated and immediately asked someone to call Zhang Cheng. At this time, a noise suddenly came from outside the lobby. Guo Zhiyuan felt strange. A yamen runner came to report, saying that a passing merchant had been cheated of money before, and happened to run into the liar on the road. The liar refused to admit it and could not argue, so he turned the liar to the yamen.

Nowadays, under Guo Zhiyuan's governance, Gutian has very good public security. Although it is still not enough to take the road and not pick up the remains, thefts, robberies and other public security cases often occur in ordinary places have basically rarely occurred. So Guo Zhiyuan was very angry when he heard this and ordered the yamen runners to pass on people.

The liar caught was a middle-aged man with a goatee. He was thin and wearing a long gown, looking like a scholar. However, the gown was covered with holes and stains, and he was very depressed and his eyes were unstable. He looked very guilty. Guo Zhiyuan slapped the agglomeration tree hard and said majestic: "Who is kneeling in the hall? Let's sign up!"

Although the down-and-out middle-aged man had a wandering look, he was not very afraid under Guo Zhiyuan's official power. He answered serenely: "Reply to the master's words, Bai Tingguang, a native of Guilin, Guangxi, came to Fujian to join relatives and friends..."

The passing merchant kneeling beside him immediately pointed at the middle-aged man who was down and out and shouted: "Master, he is lying! When the villain met him last time, he clearly said he was from Suzhou, and he said he was a student. It happened that the villain needed to recruit a accountant. Seeing that he was dressed like a scholar, the villain believed him easily. However, within two days, he took the villain for more than a dozen taels of silver and ran away! Fortunately, he was caught by the villain again here, otherwise he would have let him run away again!..."

The down-and-out middle-aged man immediately shouted the song of the sky: "Master, Caomin is wronged, Caomin doesn't recognize this person at all. He suddenly caught him inexplicably when walking on the street. There are so many similar people in the world. How could he conclude that Caomin was the one he met before? He said that the man was from Suzhou, but Caomin was from Guangxi, and the villain had a way to prove it!..." As he said that, he took out a way out of his sleeve and raised his hands over his head.

A yamen runner came forward to take his road sign and presented it to Guo Zhiyuan. Guo Zhiyuan took the road sign and saw that it was indeed his hometown of Guilin, Guangxi, but Guo Zhiyuan was not so easy to fool. The accent of the down-and-out middle-aged man did not speak like the Guangxi accent at all, but it looked a bit like the northerner. Moreover, Guangxi people's skin is usually darker. Although the middle-aged man was dressed in a down-and-out, his skin was relatively white and he clearly didn't tell the truth.

However, Guo Zhiyuan could not conclude that this down and outdated middle-aged man was lying based on his own guesses. After all, the household registration management of the Ming Dynasty was far less stringent than the early Ming Dynasty, and the population movement was very frequent. The road guide provided by the down and outdated middle-aged man was also very realistic, with the seal of the local government, and Guo Zhiyuan could not tell the truth. However, Guo Zhiyuan could not tell the truth. Someone could argue that Bai Du had been the county magistrate for many years and was the best at defensive of the authenticity of such official certificates.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan's eyes flashed and he quietly ordered the yamen runners below to say, "Go and invite County Magistrate Bai to argue the authenticity of this route..."

The middle-aged man was a little panicked when he heard this, and no longer seemed as calm as he began to act. He knelt on the ground and shivered. When Guo Zhiyuan saw his behavior, he believed in his judgment even more. This man was really bold. He didn't say he cheated on people and even dared to forge the official's road! He slapped the agglomeration and said sternly: "Defying unruly people, do you know your crime?!"

The down-and-out middle-aged man trembled even harder, but he was still very hard and gritted his teeth and said, "Cao...Cao people don't know what crimes are there?!"

Guo Zhiyuan became more and more angry when he saw that the middle-aged man refused to admit his guilt when he died. He thought that this guy would not cry without seeing the coffin. There was no need to be polite to deal with such a bold and stubborn guy. He was about to order the torture of this middle-aged man, but when Zhang Cheng was in the hall, he was quietly shaking his head and winking at him.
