416: Only this

As the sun set, after Zhao Yun and the Cavalrymen had prepared the grounds, everyone went home.

After Lin Yue returned home, he took a bath to dispel some of the alcohol, then went to sleep.

When he woke up early the next morning, he found Guo Jia walking around the courtyard with Da Huang.

"Fengxiao, why don't we go out of the city and have some fun today?" Lin Yue laughed as he approached.

"My Lord," Guo Jia turned and bowed.

"Hmm," Lin Yue stroked Da Huang's mane, and after a moment of affection, he said, "Fengxiao, if you stay at home all the time like this, you'll get sick from boredom."

To his surprise, Guo Jia shook his head, "My Lord, I'm used to being idle and don't like to travel." Then he changed the subject, "There's news about that matter."

Lin Yue glanced left and right, then whispered, "How's the situation?"

"My Lord, you said there were two First-rate Military Generals, but I only found out about one person," Guo Jia and Lin Yue sat down on a stone bench. He slowly began, "That person is similar to Yang Da Yan, whom you mentioned. As for the other person, I have no clues."

"Missing?"

"I suspect he's not in Xianyang City, but I can't be certain," Guo Jia said in a deep voice.

The Heavenly Net he managed had just started, and its capabilities were still somewhat insufficient, so he couldn't be sure.

"Fengxiao, what do you think about this matter?"

"I think this matter should be put on hold for a while."

"Why?"

"Because once we make a move against him, whether we succeed or fail, it will be known, just as you, My Lord, said before," Guo Jia pointed upwards.

Lin Yue understood. Because of the 10% dry shares, he had become cautious. Now it seemed best not to make small moves in front of The First Emperor.

He then asked, "Then will he make a move against us?"

Although they both tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of the 'outsider' to anyone else, ever since he and Li Mu were assassinated, a grudge had been formed.

He had also asked Li Mu why Ye Xuan was investigated by Li Si and the Court of Justice, only for the matter to be dropped in the end.

Li Mu said that Ye Xuan had benefited from Hu Hai's influence that time, and the case was hastily closed. Ye Xuan was also reinstated to his original position. However, since then, Ye Xuan had become much more low-key, and Hu Hai had distanced himself from him, but he remained a hidden danger.

"With Zi Long by My Lord's side, he can't do anything to My Lord now."

"Then that's all we can do for now," Lin Yue sighed.

Guo Jia shook his head and then chuckled, "My Lord, there's no need to be like this. Respond to all changes with no change. He's so erratic that even I can't hide from him, so how could he hide from those above?"

Lin Yue thought about it and realized it was true. With a pair of eyes constantly watching him, he had no choice.

"My Lord, you'd best not see Jiang Gan recently," Guo Jia softly reminded him.

"I know," Lin Yue waved his hand and walked out.

In fact, Jiang Gan hadn't come to find him, and he had already sensed it. Jiang Gan probably also noticed something, which was why he pretended not to know him.

As for Han Tan, due to his identity, he was currently serving in Fusu's mansion. As The First Emperor's guard, he naturally had to avoid suspicion to prevent drawing attention... As the sun set, Lin Yue arrived at the Great Wall Tavern as agreed.

This time, he didn't see Widow Qing; only Ji San and Zhao Tuo were present.

"Brother Ji San, Brother Zhao!" Lin Yue cupped his hands in greeting.

The two simultaneously laughed, "Brother Lin, quickly, quickly, sit down!"

"Come, Brother Lin, take a look at this," Ji San handed Lin Yue a newspaper covered in black characters. "Baixiao Sheng sent this at noon. See if there's anything that needs improvement."

Lin Yue took the newspaper and began to read it, asking as he did so, "Are the venues and staff all ready?"

"More or less. Just some minor details haven't been finalized yet."

"You old brothers are truly capable!" Lin Yue gave a thumbs up, then placed the newspaper on the table and smiled, "I am untalented and shallow in knowledge, so I haven't found anything that needs improvement."

This was indeed the case. Lin Yue felt it was similar to newspapers of later generations. After all, Baixiao Sheng was a professional, and he, an amateur, couldn't find any faults.

The only flaw Lin Yue found was that the font was too small and the text too dense, but this was also to increase content and reduce costs, so he really couldn't find any faults.

Ji San smiled at his words, "That's good then. We also think it's pretty good."

Lin Yue nodded. Ji San, seeing this, asked again, "This newspaper can produce one million copies a day, and production will increase later. We plan to set the price at five copper coins per copy for now, which is the cost price. The main goal is to open up sales channels first. What do you think, Brother Lin?"

"Brother Ji San, you can make all the decisions on this matter. I know absolutely nothing about business. Moreover, I am deeply grateful for your kindness in bringing me in, so how could I possibly point fingers?" Lin Yue said with a smile, waving his hand.

"That's wrong! Brother Lin, you are indispensable to the success of this matter. From now on, you must never speak like that again!" Zhao Tuo said with a serious expression.

"Yes, yes, Brother Zhao is right!" Lin Yue laughed. Even though they were each getting what they needed, he felt a warmth in his heart.

At this moment, Ji San smiled and asked, "Brother Lin, do you still remember Ye Xuan?"
