    Everyone is driven by profit. Today, the supervisor does not recognize the brand of Private Newspaper Shop, and there is nothing Mr. Li can do about it. This cannot be deceived by relying on eloquence.

    How could Mr. Cui watch his dream of being an editor-in-chief shattered?  He came up with an idea and said: "There are many down-and-out literati living in the capital, including many talented people from all over the country. The proprietor may wish to recruit talents among them."

    Bai Siwen was worried that Mr. Li would forcefully use his power to force him to leave the Imperial College and join the newspaper office, which might lead to him changing from a person who earns the royal salary to a wage earner.  As a person with dreams and ambitions, he cannot give up his dreams and go against his ambitions.

    Therefore, at this time, Bai Jiansheng nodded repeatedly and persuaded Li You: "What Mr. Cui said is absolutely true. There is no grass anywhere in the capital. Scholars are everywhere. Why should the old school inspector recruit people only in the Imperial College?"

    "That won't work, we must recruit supervisors!" Li You firmly rejected Mr. Cui's opinion without even thinking about it.  This is not because of how much he loves the Imperial College students, but out of very practical considerations.

    First, even though the Imperial College was marginalized by the imperial examination system and became a gathering place for unsuccessful scholars, it was still the highest academic institution in the country in name.  Imperial College students are commonly known as imperial students. This sign does not matter to officials who came from the imperial examination elite, but it still has a certain weight in the hearts of the people.

    ¡°If all the people in a newspaper office, from the editor-in-chief to the chief writer, are genuine Taipei students, it will immediately establish a good and reliable image in the minds of the public, without even having to spend a penny on advertising.

    ??Just imagine, what would happen if newspaper shops were filled with third-rate scholars and pheasant literati from various backgrounds?  Others will obviously look down upon it at first, and just think it is a piece of storytelling that the grass-roots team compiled.

    Secondly, among the Imperial College students, excluding the wealthy and powerful students who are just dawdling, the ordinary students may not necessarily have high standards (the high-level students have all gone to take the imperial examination), but they have gone through years and months of training.  Literary literacy is basically guaranteed.  At least it's not too bad.  Provide them with a few news writing methods and they can use them immediately.

    This eliminates the need for cumbersome inspections and training, and allows the newspaper to quickly get on the right track.  If you go to the street and find a few literati, you will never know what their level is.  It would take a lot of effort just to inspect and appraise it.

    Now Li You and the Office of the Imperial College are competing against time. They don¡¯t have time to slowly examine and select talents.  Select supervisors from the Imperial College to serve as chief writers and editors.  It is the quickest and most trouble-free way.

    Cui Zhenfei was a little afraid of the difficulty, "Rather than hit a wall here, it might as well find another way."

    "No need to say more, we act as if we are facing difficulties!" Li You said firmly.  After some thought, he came up with a few clues, but he couldn't make up his mind.  The first thing to do now is to find out the true attitude of Sun Yijiang, the vice president of the newspaper and the censor of Fujian Province.

    Recently, the Imperial College has emptied a courtyard next to the Classics Hall to serve as the location for the newspaper office, while the original Classics Hall was only used as a printing location.  This separates the joining supervisors and craftsmen.

    Li You entered the courtyard of the newspaper office and saw that there were already many supervisors there, probably the same people he recruited last time.  President Guan Shijiu has a public house in Yilun Hall.  not here.  Vice President Sun Yushi was in the inner courtyard.

    Li You entered the inner courtyard again and saw Sun Yushi.  Asked: "I heard that Mr. Sun also wants to recruit supervisor students to run newspapers. I wonder when he will start?"

    Sun Yushi remembered You Shaoqing's lesson, and neither neglected nor flattered Li You. He replied with a normal expression: "The number of people is definitely insufficient, but I have few talents and little knowledge, and I haven't completely figured it out yet. I will wait until I understand."  Due to the current situation, we will naturally continue to recruit the best from among the supervisory students."

    Li You cursed secretly. It didn't make sense to say this, but it was like he didn't say it.  As long as there is hope for the Imperial College's newspaper office, the students will naturally have high expectations for the office, and it will be difficult for them to recruit people there.

    He then suggested: "I am the supervisor of the Imperial Academy, and I have also handled recruitment matters. I am willing to do it for you."

    "That's not necessary. I have my own ideas about running the newspaper. I don't mind Mr. Li." Mr. Sun said lukewarmly.

    Having said that, with Li You's insight, you can naturally tell that Sun Yushi did this on purpose.  There was no grudge between him and Mr. Sun in the past, so he must have been instigated by others, and he was probably a certain chief assistant.

    Coming out of the newspaper office, Li You was about to leave the Imperial College and go home.  Thinking back on all the things he had encountered, Li You felt like there was a huge invisible net around him, as if it might completely surround him at any time.  But at the same time, no fatal warning signs were felt.

    It is fine and dense, but not suffocating. It can be blocked, but it can be cut without tearing.  He has never had such a wonderful feeling since he became an official. After thinking about it carefully, could it be related to his experiences during this period?

    ThisOne day, he was sent to the bench. He was about to publish a newspaper, but it seemed that there might be ambushes everywhere and he might be blocked at every step.  This feeling is indeed unprecedented.

    In the past, he had to act as a sniper to snipe others, leaving each target passively unable to deal with it. It was really like a duck in water.

    But now he seems to have become a conspicuous target, and he is often actively targeted by others, such as Shi Jijiu, You Shaoqing, and Sun Yushi, who they all know or do not know.

    How could the situation become like this?  Mr. Li got into the carriage a little dazedly.  On the road, he thought over and over again. Just as his thoughts became more and more chaotic, suddenly the wheel ran over a small stone on the ground, and the carriage jolted, and he suddenly had an epiphany!

    A new world seemed to appear before his eyes, his confusing perceptions became clear again, and many incomprehensible worries were swept away.

    The occurrence of this feeling means that he has realized a new realm and his cultivation has entered a new level!  It also shows that his status and prestige in the eyes of the court have also been raised to a new height!

    That¡¯s why he feels like he¡¯s being blocked at every turn. This should be a normal phenomenon. Don¡¯t worry too much about it. It¡¯s the way he should be treated.  If he were an insignificant little ant, who would pay attention to him, and who would stop him from being idle and bored?

    It¡¯s not that Mr. Li is narcissistic. His current situation does have some high-level implications.  This stagnant feeling of pressure from all sides, resistance at every step, and entangled cause and effect all over the body is not worth making a fuss about. It can be said that the higher the status, the deeper the feeling.

    Those big bosses at the level of Prime Minister and Assistant Secretary are probably accustomed to this feeling, and it has naturally become a part of their lives.  If you can't stand this feeling, you will naturally hang up your job, resign and return to your hometown.

    By the way, although Mr. Li had many enemies with Xu, Peng, and Yuan Ge in the past, he never really had the hard power to oust a bachelor.  In the eyes of those bachelors, they also believed that although Li You was good at fighting, there was still a long way to go to bring down the elders like them, which was not something that Li You, a "guan", could do.

    But things took a turn. Li You single-handedly brought down Duan Zhien, which was the first time he truly brought down a big shot.  Since then, the big guys' mentality towards Li You has completely changed.

    "Officially recognizing that Li You has the lethality to bring down a master of the level of a bachelor and minister is also equivalent to a disguised recognition that Li You has become an opponent of the same level.

    You must know that when Li You¡¯s reputation, financial resources, talents, network of connections, close ties with the royal eldest princess and other factors are summed up, his overall strength can be said to be extremely powerful.  You need a position, you need connections, you need money, you need backers.

    The key point is that this person with strong overall strength is a deadly enemy!  Who among the elders in the pavilion can completely let go of this?  Therefore, Xu, Peng, Yuan and other cabinet elders worked together with a tacit understanding to send Li You to the cold bench as the Imperial Envoy of the Youjian School and the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy Supervisor.

    Although Mr. Lu Ge wanted to help, but faced with a situation where he was outnumbered, the most he could do was try his best to help Li You obtain as many conditions as possible.

    The experienced Mr. Lu couldn't laugh or cry about this. This young fellow from the same country was so promising. He was only in his early twenties and was able to attract other pavilion elders to form a group to encircle and suppress him. He could only look forward to it and sigh.  This is the only example he has seen in his more than 40 years of involvement in officialdom. It is unprecedented and unprecedented.

    In the officialdom, no matter how promising and talented an outstanding official is, if he sits on the bench for a few years, there is a high probability that he will sink. In the officialdom, newcomers will always appear in large numbers, and time waits for no one.  This is what the big guys expect from Li You.

    It is precisely because Li You was unwilling to do this that he came up with the idea of ??running a newspaper. To a large extent, he wanted to rely on running a newspaper to control public opinion, expand power, and reverse the situation and return to the spotlight of the power field.

    Recognizing the importance of the public opinion position and having a deep understanding of Li You¡¯s comprehensive strength, how could several cabinet bosses allow Li You to run a newspaper freely?  Of course, he had to try every means to create difficulties to stop him. In the end, Li You vaguely experienced a feeling similar to "it's cold at high places".

    After figuring out all the key points, Li You suddenly felt enlightened.  If you can't bear this situation, it's better to go home and farm as soon as possible. Since this is how you feel after your status is raised, then let's do it!

    Back home, it was already dark, and Li You got off the carriage and entered the gate.  The disciple came up and reported: "In the evening, Zhu Bulang of the Ministry of Rites sent someone to tell you that someone was going to impeach you."

    Even though it was expected and reasonable, Mr. Li seemed to have predicted that this would happen, and asked: "What are you trying to impeach me for?"

    Menzi replied: "Master, you have violated the rules during this period and openly engaged in business activities as an official."

    Li You couldn't help laughing a few times, which made Mr. Cui who came back with him confused and asked: "Why is the proprietor laughing?"

    "It doesn't matter if there are too many lice, it doesn't hurt if there are too many debts, and there is no need for an impeachment!" Li You said nonchalantly.

    Li You couldn't help laughing a few times, which made Mr. Cui who came back with him confused and asked: "Why is the proprietor laughing?"

    "It doesn't matter if there are too many lice, it doesn't hurt if there are too many debts, and there is no need for an impeachment!" Li You said nonchalantly.
