Chapter 365 Hum, Hum, I have my own ideas
Tushan Shiruo told Tushan Weihong: "My lady, I have already gone to the Ministry of Works to investigate."
"Han Zhuo learned a very unique craft from some craftsman called movable type printing."
"It's about cutting the original page into countless small pieces, with each character being a page, and then piecing them together. After use, clean them and leave them aside to dry. This way, they can be reused."
"It's this picture. It needs to be redrawn by the artist, but pictures may not appear every day. They are only used for particularly explosive news, such as..."
Tushan Weihong stretched out his hand to stop Tushan Shiruo from changing the subject.
Li Yuhao and Cui Zezhao, because she felt disgusted when the names of these two people were mentioned.
Later, through what Tushan Shiruo said, Tushan Weihong gradually understood the logic behind Han Zhuo's actions.
Tushan Weihong's slender jade fingers couldn't help but gently tap her delicate chin.
Then, with a charming smile on her lips, she said, "This Han Zhuo is really good at playing tricks."
"On the surface, it seems like the publication of this newspaper is aimed at dealing with Li Yuhao and Cui Zezhao, but that's not the case."
"He wasn't targeting these two idiots from the beginning. His real goal was to promote this newspaper and thereby expand the emperor's power and influence!"
"It's well-intentioned, but Han Zhuo is a bit too clever!"
"Look at the back of this newspaper. There's an advertisement for rent. What's that?"
When this advertising space was mentioned, even Tushan Shiruo, who was usually very serious in his work and behavior, couldn't help but smile.
She said, "Your Majesty, according to Han Zhuo, he said advertisement, advertisement, spread the word!"
"To put it bluntly, it means renting out this empty column. If anyone has a wedding, funeral, or other family event, they can announce it here. Or if someone opens a shop but it's relatively unknown and wants to advertise it, they can post their information here."
"In short, anyone who wants to advertise can buy it here for a large sum of money. You can rent it for a day or a month."
Not to mention Tushan Shiruo, even Tushan Weihong couldn't help but exclaim when she heard this.
"What on earth is going on in Han Zhuo's head?"
"How did he come up with such a deceptive way to make money from those wealthy nobles!?"
Tushan Shiruo nodded in agreement and said, "Your Majesty is right. Han Zhuo is the best at cheating and deceiving people."
"The Tianyi Pavilion has already tried every possible means to seize money from the wealthy nobles."
"And now he's gone even further, putting out an advertisement. Just when I came back to report to you, I heard from Han Zhuo that he's already sold over a dozen copies of the advertisement."
"That means all the newspaper advertising space for the next two months has been sold. Han Zhuo has earned nearly 8 taels of silver!"
Tu Shan Wei Hong snorted coldly. She said, "I'm afraid Han Zhuo has only just begun. There are probably more tricks waiting for these wealthy nobles!"
"But it's a matter of willing to fight and willing to be beaten. As long as he doesn't openly use knives, guns, sticks and clubs to force these wealthy nobles to pay, it's fine."
"You don't need to keep an eye on Han Zhuo anymore. I have a very important matter for you to investigate."
Tushan Shiruo noticed that Tushan Weihong's voice had become noticeably deeper.
She knew that what the Empress Dowager wanted her to do must be very important!
So he hurriedly bowed and prepared for battle.
Tushan Weihong used his internal energy to transmit sound at this time, speaking in a voice that only Tushan Shiruo could hear.
"Your Majesty's mother was a princess who came from the northeastern Great Yan Kingdom to marry."
"Between the Great Yan State and the Xuanyuan State lies the Great Qian State, and also the Wei State, which has been on friendly terms with the Xuanyuan State for generations."
"When Your Majesty was born, in order to promote friendship between the two countries, the Emperor Emeritus and the King of Great Yan arranged a marriage for Your Majesty. The man was the legitimate son of Your Majesty's mother's clan, Yan Xuansu!"
If Tushan heard this, his heart would also skip a beat.
She quickly raised her head, looked at Tushan Weihong and said, "Your Majesty, this is just an engagement made by the retired emperor. Now that he has passed away, the engagement should be cancelled."
Tushan Weihong snorted coldly. She said, "Under normal circumstances, we could have let it go, but the boy who was engaged to Your Majesty as a child is now helping his father seize the throne!"
"He has become the crown prince of the Great Yan Kingdom!"
"Furthermore, he is the Sword Sect of the largest sect in the Great Yan State and the most powerful leader of the younger generation. He will participate in the world's number one martial arts competition in a few days."
"Go and find out how strong this person is. If he can make it into the Jianghu Rankings, he'll be in the top ten of the Earth Spirit Rankings."
"Just tell him about Han Zhuo's existence, and tell him that Your Majesty and Han Zhuo are in love, so that he can give up his thoughts as soon as possible, so as to avoid unnecessary disputes between the two countries."
Tushan Weihong's words made Tushan Shiruo feel a little at a loss for what to do.
There is no way to fully understand what Tushan Weihong meant.
Tu Shanshiruo said: "My Lady, if this person can enter the top ten of the Earth Spirit List at such a young age, I'm afraid he will have unlimited potential in the future."
"And he must be the young disciple chosen by the London Sect Master. He has a promising future."
"If I tell him this, it will definitely backfire. He might kill me the moment I say this."
Tu Shan Wei Hong snorted softly, and said, "That's right, this is exactly the effect I want!"
Tushan Weihong's words shocked Tushan Shiruo.
She didn't dare look directly at the Empress Dowager, but only glanced at her peerless beauty out of the corner of her eye.
If Tushan Shi had been following Tushan Weihong since he was 7 years old, he would have witnessed Tushan Weihong's methods and abilities to make light of heavy tasks and turn the tide of events.
Now she is only in her thirties, but she is already the Empress Dowager of Xuanyuan Kingdom.
Although on the surface she has retired to the harem and no longer cares about state affairs.
But in fact, she knows everything about the Xuanyuan Kingdom, inside and out, from top to bottom!
She could even know what the magistrate of a small county outside the capital of Xuanyuan Kingdom would eat tonight, who he would go to the brothel with, and whose concubine's room he would sleep in at the end.
All of this is thanks to the Goddess Palace.
The Palace of the Goddess not only controls the Xuanyuan Kingdom, but also 90% of the women in brothels all over the world.
Many concubines who entered the homes of aristocratic families and officials also had close ties with the Goddess Palace.
If Tushan Shi knew that the Empress Dowager in front of her, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, was the real powerful one!
Her methods are complex and varied, and her scheming is deeper than the sea. Even after following Tushan Weihong for many years, she still can't figure out Tushan Weihong's true thoughts.
What was the purpose of all this she did?
However, if Tushan Shi was the next successor personally trained by Tushan Weihong, she did not hide too much in front of Tushan Weihong, but asked directly.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand. Xuanyuan is currently facing internal and external troubles. It would be inappropriate to take advantage of this opportunity to create another enemy."
Tushan Weihong suddenly laughed softly. She did not answer directly, but stretched out two hands as slender and tender as jade onions.
Then she grabbed a grape, slowly opened her moist red lips, and put it in her mouth.
