When everyone knows about this.

Those who cheat and deceive their superiors and subordinates should be trembling with fear - who knows when the emperor above them will find out their deeds by looking at the account books, and punish them for a thorough investigation, and then what will be left for them is to be skinned and stuffed with straw?

Just as Zhu Yunhuan was thinking this.

Zhuo Jingmo, who was standing before him, had probably also done his own thinking and restrained himself from further exploring the matter. He cupped his hands and bowed to Zhu Yunhuan, saying, "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, but I'm not sure whether I should speak it out or not."

Zhu Yunhuan's thoughts also drifted back.

He nodded casually. "As a minister, I should speak my mind and work for the people as the emperor. As the emperor and the father of the people, I should also listen to the voices of the civil and military officials. Only in this way can I build the country, right? Lord Zhuo, there is no need to be so rigid."

Before the Chinese New Year, the biggest thing in his mind was perfectly settled. Naturally, he was in a good mood and talked more.

Hearing what Zhu Yunhuan said.

Zhuo Jing felt an awkward feeling at first.

Where did this feeling come from… He suddenly remembered the noisy and chaotic court over the past six months, and realized it—listening to the voices of the civil and military officials? It was so barren!

"When have you ever heard someone else's voice?"

"You only listen to the voices you want to hear. The voices you don't want to hear... will be directly silenced by those Huaixi scoundrels!"

Zhuo Jing couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, which was also the reason why he was particularly careful with his words every time.

Of course, the emperor will be present in the Qianqing Palace.

No matter how much he felt awkward and resentful in his heart, he dared not delay even a moment and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I believe that you are not only the Son of Heaven, but also possess the vision of a god. If the causes and consequences of this random inspection of the accounts of the major mines can be made public, it will surely deter the scoundrels of the world and prevent them from causing trouble."

"Today, the Media Department's newspapers are highly sought after by people all over the world."

"This time, I traveled to Huainan, Huaibei... and even Jiangxi. Along the way, I met people from all over the Ming Dynasty. Whether they were high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, scholars, or ordinary peddlers... they all talked about the newspapers published by the court with great relish, and they always couldn't wait to wait for the latest news from the court."

"If this matter could be published on the newspaper headlines."

"It will surely scare those rats into submission quickly."

Although Zhuo Jing knew very well what kind of person the young emperor in front of him was, he was also stubborn. Although he chose his words carefully, once he spoke, he would pour out his inner thoughts in a torrent of words.

He paused, a look of regret on his face, and said, "It's just a pity. The New Year's Eve is the biggest festival of the year. It's the most convenient time for everyone to travel around, and it's also the best time to legitimately take advantage of it to engage in petty escapades."

"The imperial newspaper is published every third day of the month. Since the 23rd of the 12th lunar month has already passed, the next issue won't be until the third day of the first lunar month of next year. It will take at least several days to ten days for the newspaper to be distributed."

As Zhuo Jing spoke, he calculated the situation and time in his mind.

He spoke directly, and Zhu Yunhuan certainly understood what he meant:

The first is to use the efficiency of newspapers in delivering news.

The second is to hope that this matter can be spread everywhere around the New Year, or in other words, it can be heard by those people who like to make moves in private. This will to a certain extent curb the corrupt officials' intention of visiting each other and planning corruption during the Spring Festival.

"Zhuo Jing is a stubborn guy, but he has a pretty open mind!" Zhu Yunhuan said to himself.

Then he smiled faintly and said, "It seems... Mr. Zhuo and I have the same idea."

"Have you thought of the same thing?" Zhuo Jing showed a surprised expression on his face. He looked at Zhu Yunhuan with shining eyes and asked, "Could it be that... Your Majesty has already made up his mind about this?"
