    Today, the Mingli Newspaper published such a strange story about a wealthy businessman blackmailing a high-ranking official. Those who knew the inside story could only treat it as gossip and watch the excitement.

    ¡°Many people have once again realized the function of newspapers. No wonder Li You worked so hard to run a newspaper, even investing heavily to suppress all competitors. As expected, the profits were extremely high.

    Lei Yuanwai, one of the two protagonists who was threatened by a wealthy businessman, was taken to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and interrogated by Dong Yushi, the head of Jiangxi Province.  But the Lei officer was a sensible person and refused to admit the facts. He only said that what was said in the newspaper was all rumors and should not be believed.

    Dong Yushi asked for a long time. Seeing that he couldn't get any results, he was not in a hurry and put Lei Yuan back with a smile.  After that, another love letter from Mr. Feng, the Minister of Punishment, arrived, and he also insisted that the words in the newspaper were rumors.

    Both protagonists denied Mingli Pao¡¯s claims, but what is significant to the smart people is that neither of them intends to pursue Mingli Pao for spreading rumors.

    Although people who are keen on gossip talk a lot, they can only talk. For those who are interested, they only need to talk.  The truth and transactions behind the gossip are mostly unknown.

    Princess Guide has also read through today's Pravda. She can naturally guess Li You's thoughts, and vaguely saw the temptation to scare the snake and kill someone with a borrowed knife.  But that inexplicable sense of crisis came to mind again - has Li You completely gotten rid of his dependence on him now that he is doing things?

    Since Li You took control of the newspaper, he seemed to be like a fish in water, or he had the most convenient tool, and he enjoyed manipulating public instruments.  By comparison.  There were far fewer requests for her, which made Chitose Guide feel that she had been left out, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

    Thinking of this, the eldest princess immediately ordered to go down and send someone to invite Li You over.  The Ten Princes' Mansion and the Wenxuanyuan were both in the east of the imperial city, not far from each other. The envoy arrived at the Wenxuanyuan after a while.

    At this time, Li Youzheng was conspiring with Jin Wanwan and Shopkeeper Dai.  We just got to the key point, so I couldn't get away for a while.  He casually said to the emissary's internal supervisor: "I have no time to be around at this time. Please allow me to visit you after noon."

    The messenger heard this answer.  He was a little surprised, but he was only responsible for passing on the message, so he reported Li You's answer to the eldest princess intact.

    Is this the first time he has refused a summons?  Princess Guide was immediately filled with sullenness.  He shouted loudly: "You useless slave, go and invite me again! Master Li must come, otherwise you will never be my teacher again in the future!"

    Li You, Jin Wanwan and Shopkeeper Dai didn't say a few words when they suddenly heard the messenger coming again, and they were puzzled.  There should be nothing major going on with Princess Guide now. Why is it necessary for me to go see her immediately?  What an inexplicable waywardness, the princess¡¯ illness can be cured!

    "But Mr. Li thought about it again and realized that this was a real "princess" disease, and he really couldn't cure it.  Therefore, he had no choice but to interrupt his conspiracy with Jin Wanwan and Dai Yuanwai, get up and go to the Tenth Prince's Mansion in the north.

    In the side hall of the eldest princess¡¯s residence.  Guide Chitose waited until her lover came in. He wanted to curse a few words, but he held back.  He opened his mouth and asked: "What are you doing behind my back these days? But I can't understand."

    She is really weird today Li You asked doubtfully: "How could I ever go behind your back? You know very well about the Huichang bank account and foreign exchange, so why do you say I went behind your back?"

    "Then why are you provoking so many Western merchants in the money industry? Do they still dare to squeeze out the Huichang Bank? You are right to do your own thing with peace of mind. Why are you causing trouble in the city?"

    Li You said calmly: "Relying only on the Huichang Bank is too slow. If we develop bit by bit, it will take twenty or thirty years to lay out the world. By then, you and I will all be old.

    ¡°Besides, things are unpredictable, and there may be changes and twists and turns in the next twenty or thirty years. The ones who have the last laugh may not necessarily be the pioneers.  on the contrary.  The first movers often end badly.  So I want to try to see if I can control the Western merchants in the banking industry in Beijing and do it together. With more people and more strength, progress will be faster.  "

    Having said this, Li You slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot, there is something I need to ask of you."

    Hearing the word "beg", Princess Guide suddenly felt much better and happily responded: "Tell me and listen."

    "In business, everything cannot be forced by relying on power. After all, Huichang Bank has a poor reputation and lacks prestige in this industry, so in order to quickly raise the reputation of Huichang Bank, it will be easier to conquer.  The hearts of our colleagues need your help.¡±

    "The first thing is, please go to the Emperor and ask His Majesty to exchange the money from the inner treasury for the Huichang Bank's banknotes. It can be one or two hundred thousand or two or three hundred thousand. In the future, you can use these to reward your ministers or when you have expenditures."  For payment by banknote, the Huichang bank number can also claim to be the designated bank number of Royal banknote in the future."

    Princess Guide nodded in agreement, it doesn¡¯t cost a penny.?Aren¡¯t you tired of watching Twenty-Three Histories?  "

    Princess Guide was stuffed with a lot of things that she couldn't understand in her mind, but she was a very strong person.  So I tried my best to think about the truth. The more I thought about it, the more dizzy I became, and the more I thought about it, the more heartbroken I became.  When she couldn't bear it any longer, she lowered her head and opened her mouth to retching.

    Wang Yannv, the housekeeper who was waiting on the side, had some medical skills and quickly stepped forward to take her pulse. "It seems that I am happy to have a thousand years old."

    Li You was about to cry when he heard this. His family business needs sons to inherit, at least three or four, but they cannot be illegitimate.  There are many wives and concubines in the house, why is it that Guide Qiansui outside is the most fertile?

    ¡°Besides, the illegitimate child born by the princess brings too much pressure.  A little Liu'er had lost half of the fruits of his efforts, and if another illegitimate son came along, the whole family would be ruined.

    "This must be a daughter." Li Qingfu silently prayed to various gods and Buddhas.
