    "How is it?" Cai Yong asked anxiously. The person he sent out to find out the news was his housekeeper.

    The housekeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head. Cai Yong's heart sank as he had a bad premonition.

    Cai Yong asked again: "What's going on?"

    "Master, you'd better go and see for yourself." The housekeeper didn't know how to start, so he could only say this.

    "Lead the way." Cai Yong glanced at the others and finally asked the housekeeper to lead the way. He wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on.

    Cai Yong and Xu Shaobingyuan came out together. Under the guidance of the housekeeper, they came to the streets of Xiaoxingzhuang.

    Xiaoxingzhuang has developed rapidly in recent years, and its population has gradually increased. It is much more prosperous than Gaoyang County. The magistrate of Gaoyang County even considered moving the county government to Xiaoxingzhuang, but due to the special reasons of Xiaoxingzhuang, he gave up.

    The streets of Xiaoxingzhuang are no longer inferior to the streets of other cities. There are more people here and they are more prosperous.

    "Master, it's right there." The housekeeper led Cai Yong to the middle of the street and pointed to a shop not far away.

    This shop belongs to the Youzhou Caravan. It is very large. Many specialties from other places are brought here for sale, and the flow of people is very busy.

    The usual flow of people is pretty good, but compared with today, it pales in comparison.  The flow of people in the shops today can be described as overwhelming.

    The butler explained: "Sir, the newspaper you mentioned is sold here. The shop was almost packed with people today. At first I thought they were all here to buy your newspaper, master, but I went through all the trouble to break in and found out.  No, they are all buying my uncle¡¯s newspapers.¡±

    Xu Shao couldn't help but ask: "No one buys our newspaper?"

    "Yes, but not many." The housekeeper explained: "Usually my uncle's newspaper sells a few copies, and the master's newspaper only sells one copy."

    Bian Rang didn¡¯t believe it, and said with a boastful beard: ¡°This is impossible. Are the articles of our great scholars not as good as the master¡¯s?¡±

    In their opinion, only in this way will Liu Zhe's newspapers sell well, but they all know that although Liu Zhe is extremely smart and powerful, they are no match for Liu Zhe in marching and fighting, but when it comes to talented articles, they are absolutely confident that he will surpass him.  Liu Zhe's.

    Others were also shocked, how could Liu Zhe be so powerful.

    "You go and sell me a copy of my lord's newspaper." Cai Yong ordered. His face was not good-looking. Just looking at the number of people, he knew that he had lost half the battle.

    The housekeeper hurriedly queued up to buy it. He had wanted to buy one for Cai Yong before, but there were too many people. It took him a long time to squeeze in. He was afraid that Cai Yong would be impatient and rush back without buying it.

    Cai Yong and the others waited for a long time before the housekeeper bought the newspaper. Liu Zhe's newspaper had three quarto sheets. After Cai Yong and the others read the contents, they bought it.

    Bian Rang was the first to speak out, trembling with anger: "How can it be that the words of a saint are not as good as these anecdotes on the street?"

    Cai Yong didn't say anything. He agreed with Bian Rang's words in his heart, but he couldn't figure out why these were more attractive than the articles they wrote.

    What Cai Yong and the others didn¡¯t know was that under Liu Zhe¡¯s governance, the people in Youzhou lived a prosperous life, and it was the state with the best quality of life in the Han Dynasty.

    As the saying goes, when you are full and warm, you will want to have sex. When you have eaten and drank enough, you will want to have some fun.  There wasn't much fun to be had in ancient times.  Rich people still have some fun, but ordinary people don't.

    Now that newspapers have appeared, ordinary people have discovered that reading them can kill time and provide entertainment.  Cai Yong's newspapers are full of these things, and ordinary people don't like to read them.  Liu Zhe's newspaper is much more interesting. In contrast, ordinary people have a choice.

    The common people don¡¯t have many words, but that doesn¡¯t stop them from buying a copy and finding someone who is literate to read it to them.

    What¡¯s more, there are many merchants here in Youzhou, and most of them know how to read and write. They bought a newspaper like this to pass the time while reading it on the way. Is buying Cai Yong¡¯s newspaper for hypnosis?

    ¡°However, there are also businessmen who see business opportunities.

    "Sir, master, good news."

    Here, when Cai Yong and the others were puzzled as to why Liu Zhe's newspapers were selling so well, the housekeeper happily came over to tell Cai Yong some good news.

    "Master, all your newspapers have been sold."

    "Really?" Cai Yong was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the housekeeper for details.

    But when he heard that a few people had bought his newspaper, his face changed. Needless to say, Cai Yong had been in Youzhou for a long time and already knew a lot of things.

    With just a moment's thought, he would know who bought his newspaper.??Who is nothing but an opportunistic businessman.

    They are looking at the business opportunities of Cai Yong¡¯s newspaper. Although the sales volume in Youzhou is not high, maybe more people will buy it in other places?  Cai Yong and other great scholars still have fans, so selling them fans is not a bad idea.

    "Alas, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be." Cai Yong could only sigh in the end, and he gave up.

    Bingyuan and the others were also silent. They found it difficult to accept this result.

    "My dear son-in-law, I admit defeat." Cai Yong came to Liu Zhe's house and admitted defeat personally.

    Liu Zhe snickered in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be surprised on his face and said: "Father-in-law, aren't there still a few days left? Why"

    "I admit that this newspaper is indeed not as good as yours. I admit defeat." Cai Yong said frankly.

    It was just the results on the first day that shocked him. At the same time, he also understood that newspapers, a new thing, could not compete with Liu Zhe, so he simply gave up.

    "Although I admit defeat, if a good son-in-law wants me to help you run a newspaper, I can't do what you do, so you should hire another Gao Ming." After Cai Yong admitted defeat, he actually asked Liu Zhe to hire another Gao Ming, which shows his confidence.  Not enough.

    When Liu Zhe heard this, he immediately felt bad. This is not possible. Without Cai Yong, who will help him publish newspapers?

    He didn¡¯t want to hear Cai Yong tell him stories about ancient emperors again.

    So, Liu Zhe spoke slowly!

    "Father-in-law, this is wrong."

    Liu Zhe looked at Cai Yong and said earnestly: "If the newspaper matter is left without my father-in-law, it really can't be done. It has to be my father-in-law!"

    When Cai Yong heard this, he felt happy. He was actually so important?

    So he asked: "Why?"
