    When Liu Zhe saw this, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He asked Cai Yan to hold Liu Jing for him. When Liu Zhe hugged Liu Jing, the little girl, Liu Jing immediately started crying without losing face.

    Liu Zhe was well prepared and quickly picked up a sweet fruit from the side and gave it to her and stuffed the sweet fruit into her mouth. Liu Jing immediately stopped crying and grabbed the sweet fruit with her little hands and sucked it. Liu Zhe also felt sorry for Liu Zhe who gave her the sweet fruit.  She stopped resisting and let him hold her.

    Liu Zhe couldn't help but feel funny that this little girl was bribed like this.

    Liu Jing was bribed with a sweet fruit. Liu Jing no longer resisted Liu Zhe, but gradually began to accept Liu Zhe, a very strange father.

    "Come on, little baby, call daddy."

    On this day, Liu Zhe was holding his baby Liu Jing, teasing her with sweet fruits, and trying to get Liu Jing to call him daddy.

    Liu Jing is now familiar with Liu Zhe. She grabs the sweet fruit with her hands and shouts: "Ba, Ba, Ba"

    Liu Jing¡¯s cute look immediately made Liu Zhe laugh.

    And at this moment, Cai Yong came to the door again.

    "Good son-in-law, good son-in-law." Cai Yong shouted as he came in under the leadership of his servants, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

    The newspaper was ready so quickly?

    Liu Zhe was shocked, it had only been five days, and Cai Yong had already done it?  Liu Zhe couldn't help but marvel at Cai Yong's speed.

    What Liu Zhe didn¡¯t know was that Cai Yong took this newspaper more seriously than his books. He even spent time reading this newspaper when he returned home.

    ¡°Xian son-in-law, come and take a look, what do you think of this newspaper?¡± Cai Yong said.

    Liu Xin came back from Donglai County yesterday and was bored. She heard Cai Yong's voice in the house. She swooped out of the house and ran to Liu Zhe. She hugged Liu Jing and sat quietly beside him.  He raised his ears and waited patiently for their words.

    Liu Zhe took the newspaper from Cai Yong and read it.

    Cai Yong¡¯s newspaper was different from what Liu Zhe had imagined. It was a single page with simple content. Cai Yong just copied an article on it. It was more like a piece of paper than a newspaper.

    After reading it, Liu Zhe could only sigh.

    "My dear son-in-law, what's wrong?" Cai Yong asked hurriedly when he saw Liu Zhe was dissatisfied.

    Liu Xin also pricked up her ears and listened carefully to Liu Zhe's words.

    Liu Zhe immediately told Cai Yong about the newspapers he read later. However, after hearing this, Cai Yong still half understood and half didn't understand, and some of them he disagreed with.

    "How can the words of a saint be mixed with the smell of copper?" Cai Yong objected to the advertisement, thinking that it was an article that insulted the saint.

    Liu Zhe then remembered that the man in front of him was not only his father-in-law, but also a great scholar in the world.  What they value is knowledge and the words of saints.  It would be a dream for them to mix their articles with advertisements, entertainment articles and the like.

    Last time, it was also because of the problem of collecting books that Cai Yong agreed to collect his articles into a book and sell it.  Now, Liu Zhe couldn't find any reason to convince him.

    "Father-in-law, why don't I leave this newspaper to someone else?" Liu Zhe thought for a while and finally said to Cai Yong.

    "What?" Cai Yong became anxious all of a sudden. He blew his beard and stared at Liu Zhe and asked: "Does your virtuous son-in-law despise me?"

    Liu Zhe quickly shook his head and said: "There is absolutely no such intention."

    Cai Yong continued to ask: "Does that mean you think I didn't do a good job?"

    "There is no such thing. I'm just afraid that my father-in-law will overwork himself." Liu Zhe could only think of this excuse. To be honest, he was afraid that Cai Yong wouldn't be able to bear it.

    "Huh, you're just afraid that I can't do well." Cai Yong was not stupid, and boasted his beard: "Xian son-in-law, I know that you like business, but business is a crooked way, and the one who can truly rule the country and the world is none other than Confucianism. Businessman?  Can you govern the country?"

    Cai Yong's tone was full of disdain for the businessman.

    Liu Zhe smiled bitterly. He had a bunch of Confucian scribes like Cai Yong under him. They were dissatisfied with the business promoted by Liu Zhe and felt that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce should have their own order.

    However, the land under Liu Zhe's rule was based on the same status as peasants, farmers, and industry, and commerce was still the mainstay outside the Great Wall.

    Liu Zhe thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law, even if you want to govern the world, you have to fill the people's stomachs, right? What's more, I plan to only invest a small amount of money in the newspaper upfront, and then make profits and losses on my own."

    "Here we go again." Cai Yong said to himself: "Wonderful son-in-law, virtuous son-in-law, why don't you fall into my hands this time?"

    Cai Yong said to Liu Zhe: "Wonderful son-in-law, let's make a bet."

    "Okay, I don't know about you, father-in-law."?How to bet?  "Liu Zhe became interested. Cai Yan, who was well-read in scriptures, avoided gambling. It seemed that he was willing to risk it all for the sake of the newspaper.

    "How about we not let you and I write a newspaper and then let everyone comment on it and see how everyone reacts? If you win, I will listen to you in everything. If you lose, I will have the final say on this newspaper. How about that?"

    Liu Zhe smiled and said confidently: "Yes, but there is one change that needs to be made, which is to print some newspapers that you and I have made, and then send people to sell them on the street. Whoever sells more newspapers will win."  How about winning?"

    "Okay, it's a deal." Cai Yong agreed.  Cai Yong was full of confidence and felt that Liu Zhe would definitely lose.

    Cai Yong left with confidence, while Liu Zhe sent Cai Yong away with confidence.

    Liu Zhe didn¡¯t think he would lose to Cai Yong. He couldn¡¯t compare with Cai Yong in terms of articles and talents, but he was more confident than this. Although he didn¡¯t read many newspapers in later generations, he still beat Cai Yong.

    "Brother, what do you want to do?" Liu Xin came over and asked Liu Zhe.

    Liu Zhe was amused and asked, "Why, are you interested too?"

    At the same time, he glanced at Liu Jing who was being held by Liu Xin. Liu Jing was very quiet on Liu Xin's body, and her little eyes turned curiously.

    Liu Xin¡¯s little head nodded repeatedly, expressing great interest. Liu Jing found it interesting and followed it up with a smile. She is very imitative at a young age.

    Liu Zhe did not object and said: "If you are interested, just follow it and take a look. Just don't cause trouble for me."

    Liu Xin was dissatisfied with Liu Zhe's words and said angrily: "Damn brother, how could I have caused trouble? Jingjing, cry for him."

    "Wow¡­"

    "You little girl, you are so disgusting. Be good, be good, don't cry, don't cry"
