The reason why Jinling’s book industry is so prosperous is not only because of movable type printing technology, but also the literacy rate of the people, but also a “completion system” for authors, telling them clearly what they should do to gain greater fame and fortune.

Newspapers, magazines, and bookstores are willing to train their own authors and let them prepare their works according to their annual plan, half-year plan, and monthly plan to better promote and package them.

This is a win-win process!

The newspaper has created a celebrity author, and the newspaper's reputation will increase; and when the author's reputation increases, it will also bring greater attention and attraction to the newspaper.

The more the author seeks fame and fortune, the more he wants to go to a newspaper with a promising potential, the stronger the newspaper is. As long as it is "fair and just", the more powerful the person is, the more he wants to go.

Obviously, when Gu Qingling founded the Daming Glasses Manufacturing Factory, she not only wanted to build a production factory, but also wanted to include the book industry, slowly build her own book kingdom, and then evolve into an empire of public opinion.

This era is not as modern as it is, with various high-tech products and a developed network.

They are also based on paper media, and whoever owns paper media has the right to speak.

Gu Qingling never thought about competing for the limelight of the royal newspaper industry, but she needed more voice to promote her ideas, let more people open up their thinking, and create an era of cultural rejuvenation where "a hundred flowers bloom" are blooming.

Even if she can't see it, it's good to plant a seed.

Elf Housekeeper Lele:??????

Who do you say can't see it?

...

Seeing that everything went smoothly in Daming Glasses Factory, Gu Qingling smiled on her face.

It was at this moment that Prince Cheng came back.

He appeared in front of everyone with a lot of salt.

"What?!"

Mr. Qi, the first salt merchant in the Ming Dynasty, was shocked. How could this be possible?!

Don’t the salt mines in the world be in the hands of several of their families? Where did Prince Cheng find so much salt?!

How could they not know about his move?!

The man was so scared that he hurriedly said, "I don't know, Master, it just popped up suddenly."

"Salt cannot suddenly appear, it must have its origin." Mr. Qi called the housekeeper and asked him to notify several other families that everyone had met and saw what was going on.

Mr. Qi suspected that someone had done bulk procurement recently, and no one was alert because he used some means.

"When it comes to bulk procurement... it has been there in the past few years, right?"

"Yes, haven't it always been?"

“Is there any?”

...

But if you want to find "main procurement" that has always been there, it must have been there.

The salt business they have done for generations. When it comes to bulk procurement, there must be some, and there are always.

They can't find new ones.

Mr. Qi was very angry and immediately asked them to contact the "mass procurement" to investigate clearly. By the way, check it carefully and see if there was something missing by them.

According to the information he found out, the salt brought back by Prince Cheng was fine salt, and the amount was quite large.

It can be seen that this is definitely not a one-day effort.

Maybe since many years ago, the Royal family has been secretly raising people to "stock up" the salt in their hands.

Then when the stockpiling is almost done, I plan to "die" them and cultivate a new "puppet family".

Why?

When the Li family conquered the world, the ancestors of their families had provided supplies. Why? After so many years, the Li family has settled down and thought they were in trouble and wanted to clean up?

Mr. Qi's teeth were itchy.

He knew that none of these royals would be good, and one day they would be "ungrateful".

Look, how long has it been?

Mr. Qi completely ignored it. The ancestors of the Li family had passed for several generations, and these old families were responsible for the various resources of the Ming Dynasty. Not only did they not bring any benefits to the Ming Dynasty, but they were becoming more and more excessive and had more and more disadvantages. Otherwise, Emperor Mingguang would not think about touching them.

It’s really unbearable, no one can bear it.

Mr. Qi immediately joined forces with salt merchants across the country to increase salt prices on the grounds of decline in production, while reducing salt in the market.

He wants to teach Emperor Mingguang a lesson.

He was going to see how much salt the royal family had hoarded.

Without these salt merchants, how could the Li Dynasty continue to play?

Emperor Mingguang looked cold. He had already expected it when Prince Cheng brought salt to Beijing.

"Hmph! I did nothing, but I asked you to bring salt to Beijing, so they started to act. What did they regard me as? Have they forgotten what the world's surname is?" He angrily threw the secret newspaper on the table.

Next, Prince Cheng lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, why bother with them? It's just grasshoppers in autumn, and they can't jump for a few days. Salt stored in various places is in place, and even if all salt merchants in the world close their doors, it will not affect the daily lives of the people. Moreover, we still have a large area of ​​endless sea salt."

"Keep it tight, I don't want any mistakes."

"Don't worry, whether it's the salt transport route or the salt warehouse, there will be military guards, so there will be no problems. When all the salt in the world is replaced with sea salt, these salt merchants will not be able to jump up. At that time... it's time for us to take action."

"Okay, very good. I'm waiting."

...

At this time, both Emperor Mingguang and Prince Cheng were very lucky. Fortunately, Gu Qingling handed over a new method of salt refining, which found a new way out for the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, I would not know when the salt trap of the Ming Dynasty would be solved.

It’s not that Emperor Mingguang cannot use force to solve the old aristocratic family, but the old aristocratic family will be defeated by the death and are unwilling to hand over these resources?

The old family hid the resource address too much. Several generations of emperors arranged for people to find it. As soon as they moved, they used all the people in the world to "threat". What else could Emperor Mingguang?

He can't ignore his century-old foundation and make jokes about the people of the world, right?

Everyone knows the importance of food, but salt is also the top priority in life. Once salt has problems, the people in the world will inevitably be in turmoil, and civil unrest will easily occur.

Once the civil unrest occurs, how can the Li Dynasty be stable?

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. This is not a joke.

They are so fooling around. They can eat in one bite. No matter how hard or tired they are, they can endure and endure it. But if they eat in one bite, it is related to life and death. Then the people will not talk to you about "ethics and morality" and say they are rebellious.

Once the salt crisis occurs, it is guided by these old aristocratic families...

hehe!

Everyone knows what the result is.

"What?! What did you just say?!"

Aunt Chen was shocked. She just picked some vegetables, so why did such a big thing happen?!

"Mom, the salt shop in our town is closed."

"What does it mean? Is it because something is temporarily closed, or..."

"I don't know, I just heard the second-rate next door say."
