Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

After watching the potatoes, Zhang Nuo simply asked Lao Fang to lead the horse, and he rode the horse around the entire land of Zhuangzi.

I don't know if I don't look at it, it turns out that all the crops have grown gratifyingly, but he usually doesn't notice it.

After making this big circle, Zhang Nuo finally felt relieved. It seems that those old men in the village are really good at serving crops, even if they are new crops that they have never seen before. It's also doing pretty well.

Receiving such good news early in the morning naturally makes people feel happy.

And when Zhang Nuo read today's newspaper, his mood became even more beautiful.

The public opinion war that I just talked about with Li Shimin yesterday, it took only a day, and it actually started?

Several articles were all framed by Zhang Nuo, and then a special pen was invited to carefully write out the words. If you just look at the text, no one would think that it was written by a talented and noble official.

Just looking at the vernacular, country slang, and even swear words similar to Biqiniang, the vivid images of farmers, street vendors, and ordinary people suddenly came to life.

At this time in Chang'an City, with the sale of newspapers, more and more people joined in reading and swearing. The family united to buy a copy, while learning characters for the children in the family, while listening to some important national events and new news.

People who are used to hearing good news on weekdays, suddenly heard that someone with the same status as them was bullied by a powerful family, their wives were separated, their families were destroyed, and even the most timid people could not help but secretly curse a few words, and then yell at them. The direction of the Wang family spat vigorously.

Even the common people on the street have read the newspaper, so it is impossible for the Taiyuan Wang family, who is a major customer and VIP customer, not to have seen it.

When the elders saw today's newspaper, they rushed over to the meeting hall as soon as possible, all of them looked worried.

However, Wang Jishan, the Patriarch of Taiyuan Wang Family who was notified early, walked over slowly at the end, looked at the elders with tense expressions, and reprimanded them in a deep voice instead of talking about the newspaper,

"As the pillars of the royal family, don't you know that you have to be calm when it comes to major events? As a family with a thousand years of history, don't we even have this bit of foundation? If you mess up your own situation, you don't need others to come to your door to cause trouble!"

Wang Jishan has always been used to being strong in the family, even if there are two elders who are older than him next year, they are still as if scolding his own children, and they are not polite at all.

If it was normal, these elders might still feel that their face was damaged and argue with him, but at this time, everyone was really a little panicked, and they didn't bother to care about these things at all. road,

"Ji Shan, does this mean that Li Er is going to attack me?"

"Ji Shan, will these things arouse public anger?"

"Should I report to the officials and ask my close children to deal with those thieves who spread rumors?"

"Patriarch, is what the newspaper said true or false?"

Wang Jishan listened to these questions and did not answer them. Instead, he walked slowly to the main seat and sat down. Then he spoke,

"It's just a few made-up graffiti, and you panicked. I'm really sorry for the reputation of my Wang family!"

"As for the veracity of the story, is it important? This is not a complaint sent to the yamen. Could it be that Li Er can use this newspaper to question me?"

"Don't say that these things are just non-existent slanders. Even if they are true, what can Li Er do to me? My royal family has a long history. I have relatives and friends in the court and friends who have helped me, and I have a thousand-year-old family to support me. He is being bullied by a thief who killed his brother and imprisoned his father?"

What Wang Jishan said was categorical, without any leeway. It was not that he lost his mind, let alone uttered wild words, but that the aristocratic family had existed for thousands of years and experienced so many dynasties in the middle. Not to fall, this is its uniqueness.

And the advantage is nothing more than what Wang Jishan just said about facing the inside and facing the outside. It is precisely by grasping these two points that such a big family can be passed down forever, and he said that a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family!

Chapter 405 The Wang Family's Response

But although what Wang Jishan said was categorical, the elders were no longer three-year-old children, and they all had their own judgments, so naturally it would not be what Wang Jishan said.

One of the oldest elders said directly,

"Ji Shan, this newspaper has been widely publicized. Hundreds of thousands of copies have been sent out, and the impact caused by it is not a single star. Not to mention anything else, as long as half of the people believe the above things, my Wang family's reputation will also be rotten. what!"

Wang Jishan also got angry when he heard this, aristocratic family, what is an aristocratic family?Only a family handed down from generation to generation can be called a family!In this issue, in his opinion, it is not particularly powerful, after all, it is just a trivial matter of the untouchables, and it cannot be brought to the fore.

But if this is just the first step, what if you continue to fabricate these things in the future?Will the reputation of the Wang family be affected?

Don't underestimate reputation. In this era, reputation is far more useful than people imagined. For many people, a famous person, even if they just say a word, is more useful than an ordinary person's writing.

The reputation of the Wang family in Taiyuan was established by the Wang family from generation to generation, but Wang Jishan knew very well that if this newspaper really ruined the reputation of the Wang family, then the Wang family's vitality would definitely be seriously injured.

But before he could speak, another elder also frowned and said,

"Is this newspaper just like the advice of the court officials and the censor? Will Li Er use this as a fuss to attack me and finally attack me?"

Wang Jishan sneered when he heard this, and said disdainfully,

"What are the officials and censors? Remonstrance? If remonstrance is useful, it's better to be an official with one mouth!"

"You don't need to be admonished, you will reflect on yourself three times a day. If you don't listen to admonishment, you can talk like a lotus flower, and he will stand still. If you don't make it right, you will even be killed!"

"As for Li Er attacking me, hmph, as long as he has the courage to die, he will try! Before I saw that Zhang Nuo killed you and me, did he pretend that he didn't see it?"

"Don't tell me he doesn't want to use me to vent his anger on his righteous brother? But he dares?"

When it came to the end, Wang Jishan, a little old man, was as domineering as an emperor, but the elders nodded thoughtfully.

This is not to blame for their arrogance, it is because the aristocratic family has been mixed with the dynasty since the pre-Qin period, and their influence in the local area is really too great.

No matter how your kingship changes, you must cooperate with the family where the family is located, otherwise there will be endless troubles waiting for you.

And the most important thing is, even if you kill the killer, there will be chaos in the court, because there are more than one or two officials controlled by the aristocratic family. If all of them are taken down, the operation of the court will have problems. Which emperor would do such a thing? ?

But after Wang Jishan finished his domineering words, he turned his head and frowned and said,

"But I can't underestimate this thing. Since I failed to snatch papermaking and printing from the kid with the surname Zhang before, we will pay for it, but some articles like graffiti That's all!"

"Could it be that the elite children of my Wang family can't write? Could it be that my Wang family can't afford the money to print the newspaper? Could it be that the kid with the surname Zhang is a businessman and will make money?"

Speaking of this, Wang Jishan gritted his teeth a little bit,

"Hmph, Zuo Zuo is just a charming businessman. Since Li Er protects him and cannot kill him, then I will smash him to death with money!"
