I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

If it was a scam advertisement, the Hanlin Academy would definitely not publish it.

This section has become the best section of Yuhang Daily.

Yuhang has a developed business, and there are too many shops that want to place advertisements. As long as the quality is verified and there is no false advertising, you can take these businesses.

In a desperate situation, Fang Hao had no choice but to lead the teachers and students of the academy to hastily publish the first "Yuhang Daily".

While collecting news, Fang Hao noticed that the merchants at the port were very concerned about the daily selling price of goods.

After asking, Fang Hao found out that the prices in the port changed too quickly. Experienced merchants would always refer to the prices of the previous few days before purchasing items.

Fang Hao decided to add a category to the local news to publish the prices of the main commodities of the day.

In this way, merchants traveling to and from Yuhang would buy a copy of "Yuhang Daily" for reference.

The newspaper only needs to hire a little boy to ask the prices of various items every day.

In the novel part, the academy found a down-and-out scholar and asked him to publish his own serialized strange stories in the newspaper.

So, the first issue of "Yuhang Daily" was finally completed!

This is a plagiarized, patchwork, forced newspaper with advertisements.

As soon as it came out, it immediately caused a sensation in Yuhang!

That’s because Yuhang really needs a local newspaper!

After reading the New Residence Newspaper, people who have been to Kyoto are all looking forward to having a local newspaper in Yuhang.

However, to publish a newspaper, one must obtain permission from the court.

Therefore, even if there were small private reports, they would only be superficial and would not dare to make too much noise to attract the attention of the court, otherwise they would be doomed.

This time Yuhang finally has a local official newspaper!

The first batch of 3,000 copies of Yuhang Daily were sold out in an instant.

Soon, the second batch of 4,000 newspapers were also sold out!

The teachers and students of the academy all smiled excitedly.

All seven thousand copies can be sold!

The money from running the newspaper is enough to run the academy.

Not to mention the revenue from advertising!

Only then did the official academy realize that one could make so much money by publishing a newspaper!

The income from Yuhang Daily is enough to support all the colleges in the Yuhang area.

But Fang Hao still felt that it was not enough, so he continued to open newspaper printing departments in various counties of Yuhang.

The content typeset in the provincial school will be sent to the county school.

The county school adds some local news and then prints it.

Although the purchasing power of these counties is not as high as that of the state capitals, it is enough for the local academies to survive.

After all this effort by Fang Hao, he actually found a stable income for the academy in Yuhang.

The academy in the public school is free, and you can study the philosophy of mind that is tested in the imperial examination. Even if you are not good at it, you can still become an engineer or an accountant.

At worst, you can be a translator.

As a result, people who wanted to apply for public schools lined up in long queues everywhere.

Private schools, which had already been hit hard, are now in an even more difficult situation.

At this time, Huang Xiao was sitting in the reception room of Donglin Academy drinking tea.

Xia Donglin, the president of Donglin Academy, has just returned to Yuhang from Kyoto.

At this Salt and Iron Conference, Xia Donglin and Lu Weibin were defeated in both debates, and Neo-Confucianism was stripped of its official academic status.

Although everyone knew that this matter was decided by His Majesty alone, the descendants of Neo-Confucianism in Yuhang still vented their anger on Xia Donglin.

If I don't get angry with him, how dare I get angry with His Majesty?

Xia Donglin lost his position as the leader of Yuhang Neo-Confucianism.

Many of his students also left Donglin Academy.

"Dean Xia, you also attended the Salt and Iron Conference. His Majesty's decree requires all private schools in Yuhang to be abolished."

Xia Donglin said with a dark face:

"Master Huang, how do you know I'm from the academy? This is just a hall where I meet friends!"

As expected of an old fox!

Huang Xiao led his men to visit several private schools.

Everyone speaks with the same tone.

Quan said that this was not a college, but a manor for receiving guests.

Huang Xiao decided to start persuading people from the largest Donglin Academy.

When Huang Xiao saw Xia Donglin's appearance, he knew that this time it would not go smoothly.

Huang Xiao put away his smile and said, "When I was checking the account book of a salt merchant, I found that he donated a large sum of money to Donglin Academy every year."

"I heard that Dean Xia once wrote the words 'Ren Yi Gentleman' for that salt merchant?"

"Now there is irrefutable evidence that the salt merchant was involved in the Salt Rebellion."

"I wonder if this Donglin Academy is related to this case?"

Xia Donglin stood up with an angry face and said to Huang Xiao: "You cruel official!"

"If you dare to frame and slander us, we at Donglin Academy will never let you go!"

Huang Xiao smiled slightly, looked at Xia Donglin and said:

"Dean Xia, I told you that the imperial court's policy is to close private schools."

"I don't care what you use this place for, I just want this Donglin Academy to never open again!"

"If Dean Xia doesn't cooperate, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After finishing speaking, Huang Xiao took his subordinates and left Donglin Academy.

Xia Donglin covered his chest and trembled all over. His students quickly surrounded him.

"Teacher! Let's encourage those fellow officials to jointly impeach this bastard official!"

"Teacher, are we scholars really going to be bullied by such scoundrels?"

Of course, Xia Donglin was very upset, but when he thought of the Yuhang Salt Case, he held it back.

The Yuhang Salt Case involved almost all the salt merchants in Yuhang.

Normally, Xia Donglin's Donglin Academy had close contacts with these salt merchants.

During the Salt and Ding Rebellion, Xia Donglin was on a boat returning to Huajiang from Kyoto.

Donglin Academy did not participate in the Salt and Ding Rebellion, but it had close relations with the salt merchants.

Xia Donglin wrote many articles and poems to flatter the salt merchants, and this can never be erased.

Now that Huang Xiao holds the Yuhang Salt case in his hands, Xia Donglin has no choice but to submit.

If Huang Xiao really started to act recklessly and used the Yuhang Salt Case to put him in jail, my old body would not be able to endure the pain of jail time.

"Close the door!" Xia Donglin finally made a decision.

The disciples' faces changed drastically: "Teacher, are you serious?"

Xia Donglin said: "If we don't close it now, are we waiting for Huang Xiao to come and search it?"

Xia Donglin beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying, "How disgraceful!"

All the disciples also lamented and some even cried.

However, among the crying disciples, there were also many eyes moving.

Donglin Academy officially closed, and the imperial decree banning private schools finally took effect in Yuhang.

When Donglin Academy closed, many scholars in Yuhang shed tears. Some even cursed Li Tian as Jie and Zhou, thinking that Li Tian was violating the teachings of Confucius and Mencius!

Some people get so angry that they run away quietly.

For example, several of Xia Donglin's favorite students came to Yuhang Public School immediately after the academy closed.

"How many of Mr. Xia's students would like to apply for the position of psychology teacher at the public school?"
