The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 179 Familiar Scene Reappears

Ye Ren's eyes turned fierce when he heard this.

"Even if we can't do it, we have to do it! Jiang Fan's trick is to make the Morning News abort. We can't let him do what he wants. If we don't have the Morning News, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with him!"

"Unless he really died in Jinzhou this time, otherwise, we have to do our best to maintain this morning newspaper."

"Have Zhu Xuanji tell the people that the Morning Post is buying back all newspapers that contain news about Jiang Fan in order to express its apology. From now on, as long as you buy the Morning Post, one lucky reader will be picked out in each issue and rewarded with five taels of silver!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian, who was standing by, nodded.

"Newspapers are a powerful tool for public opinion, and we must not lose them. Even if Jiang Fan dies, we must find a way to continue publishing the Morning Paper. Prime Minister Ye's move is very attractive, and it can temporarily save the Morning Paper! I think we can do this!"

He also saw the power of the newspaper. It would be a pity if such a good thing was lost, not to mention that Jiang Fan still had the newspaper in his hand.

If you have a weapon that others have, at least you won't panic. If you don't have one, you will be at the mercy of others. Even if you have to pay a huge price, you must keep the newspaper.

Although the people do not buy it, as long as they hold on, there will always be a chance to turn things around. This is why he is willing to pay money to guarantee the report.

The others fell silent after hearing this. They were scared by Jiang Fan, but they did not have the fighting spirit of Ye Ren and the others. Some even thought that if something happened again, it would be best not to look for them.

But they didn't dare to speak out. It was their fault for choosing the wrong person. Now it was impossible for them to quit!

They knew very well that they could not defeat Jiang Fan.

They didn't see what they thought was a great plan, and in the end, it turned out to be just a trap set by Jiang Fan to lure them into!

From the moment Jiang Fan introduced the compensation policy, they fell into Jiang Fan's trap step by step! They found that they were being led by Jiang Fan!

Soon, an announcement was made in the morning paper the next day, buying back newspapers with any news about Jiang Fan at a high price.

In addition, people who buy the morning paper will be randomly selected as lucky readers and receive a reward of five taels of silver.

As soon as the announcement was made, the morning paper, which had been unpopular, suddenly sparked a wave of buying. At one point, the enthusiasm for buying even surpassed that of the morning paper.

Seeing this grand occasion, Ye Ren and others were delighted. The morning newspaper was saved.

But their hearts were bleeding, because without Jiang Fan's cheap paper, they would lose nearly ten cents on each copy of their newspaper, not to mention that they would have no commercial section to make up for the loss.

Now the newspapers are being bought back at a high price, which is equivalent to another loss. As for the five taels of silver reward for each issue, such a loss can be ignored.

But for ordinary people, five taels of silver is equivalent to a family's monthly income. Many people want to earn such a sum of money.

Chu Yan'er just smiled after hearing the news. She said it was just a last-ditch struggle, and then she didn't comment again.

Although the morning paper seems to be very popular, it is just a temporary novelty for the people. When people find that their payment for the five taels of reward is not proportional to their gain, their enthusiasm will wane.

After all, not everyone can be that lucky person. There is nothing special about the morning paper. This kind of crooked method will not last long!

The more the Morning Post acts like this, the faster it will be forgotten. When they completely lose their credibility, will the people still believe them?!

While Ye Ren and others were trying their best to protect the morning paper, Jiang Fan had already arrived at Tuzhou, less than seven or eight days' journey away from Jinzhou.

As soon as we arrived at Nanzhao City in Tuzhou, a group of people were waiting there, and the team began to move forward with hundreds of carts full of food and fodder.

When he saw the hundreds of carts full of grain and fodder, the grain and fodder commander Wu Guangyao finally put his worries at ease.

He was afraid that if he still had no food and grass when he arrived at Jinzhou and was about to join the 50,000-strong army, he might be punished by military law.

The news that Jiang Fan was purchasing food and fodder in Nanzhao City was soon reported back to the capital, and both the Morning Post and Heaven and Earth reported the incident.

When the people found out that Jiang Fan had really made preparations and purchased grain to enter Jinzhou, they were full of admiration for him. They had long forgotten that they had even gone to the Morning Post to make a fuss about this matter.

On Ye Ren's side, after knowing that Jiang Fan had purchased food and fodder, a cold and mocking look appeared on his face.

Although Jiang Fan's move was indeed a good one, Jiang Fan would never have thought that Lianyun Eighteen Villages was just one of his surprises for Jiang Fan! He had another surprise waiting for Jiang Fan.

"Let people continue to praise Jiang Fan, praise him with all their might. If the Morning Post doesn't praise him, we will... We must praise him highly!" Ye Ren said to Zhu Xuanji in front of him.

His words stunned Zhu Xuanji, the eldest prince and others.

Fan Xian's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he nodded slightly and said, "It won't be wrong to do as Ye Xiang said. Jiang Fan should feel safe, so he bought food and grass from Tuzhou."

"But what if the food and fodder were burned on the road? What do you think would happen if Jiang Fan was praised highly at that time?"

As soon as Fan Xian said this, everyone's face showed ecstasy.

Yes, the higher you are praised, the harder you fall. Jiang Fan seemed to be about to complete the task of transporting grain, but what if the grain was burned? The mission was still not completed.

Not only that, Jiang Fan might fall from the altar directly because of the burning of food and grass!

Even though we were so careful, we still couldn't protect the food supplies. Then all the great things we did before were just bullshit!

However, Huang Zhenren frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

He was scared of being cheated by Jiang Fan and became a little nervous. Whenever Jiang Fan made any move, he thought there might be something fishy.

"Prime Minister Ye, Prime Minister Fan, could this be another trick of Jiang Fan?"

As soon as he said this, Ye Ren and Fan Xian were stunned, looked at Huang Zhenren, then looked at each other, their eyes suddenly became solemn.

They were also traumatized by Jiang Fan's trap. Although they had a great opportunity right in front of them, they hesitated, fearing that this was another trick of Jiang Fan.

But the two thought about it and looked at each other again.

Ye Ren was the first to speak: "No matter how powerful that guy is, can he really have every possible plan? Moreover, he is so close to Jinzhou and will soon meet up with the 50,000-strong army. I'm afraid he feels safe!"

"Yes, I think so too. He probably thinks that we don't have the manpower to deal with him in Tuzhou. Now that the matter has come to this, we can't afford to retreat."

Fan Xian nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince's eyes were determined and he quickly ordered Zhu Xuanji to do it and present it first.

Although this would make them uncomfortable, they had to endure it for the sake of their greater plan!

Soon, the morning newspaper praised Jiang Fan again, saying that Jiang Fan was extremely intelligent and had safely delivered food and grass to Jinzhou.

With their flattery, the sales of the newspaper increased a bit. However, this scene made the entire capital city, and even Ye Ren and others themselves feel somewhat familiar.

The atmosphere in the capital city became extremely strange as the morning newspaper praised Jiang Fan, and everyone felt that something was about to happen.

In fact, it is like this every time, and there is something good to watch every time!
