In the afternoon, Li Yi wrote the articles to be printed in the newspaper and sent them for typesetting.

The typesetting person made it for the first time, and took the words according to the size of the font written by Li Yi.

Copper is generally used to make currency and copper utensils, and the production is small and the demand is high.

Ordinary people are reluctant to use copper to make movable type, but Zhuangzi doesn't care, he has money.

If there is a lack of copper, can there be a shortage of copper used by Zhuangzi to make movable type?

The word picker picks out the words one by one and fixes them in the template.

It is fixed with a buckle, and there is a special groove on the copper movable type, which is directly buckled.

Otherwise, you need to melt the wax, put the words on it, and wait for the wax to solidify before it falls off.

When I take it down, I heat it again, and the wax melts, and the word comes off.

Not only is it laborious, but it also consumes a lot of wax.

When making movable type, the inverted mold has a protrusion, and the word that comes out is slotted.

Today the newspaper has only one large sheet, and it is printed on one side.

The plate was arranged on the same day, and the printing began in the evening of the same day, 10,000 copies, and there was only one printing press, which needed to be printed until tomorrow morning.

The people in the printing workshop didn't care, and finally it was time for them to behave.

The story in the newspaper is the first time in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Li Yi spread it, and now many people are still copying it there.

Now printed in the newspaper, there are no typos, and it is comfortable to read.

In addition, Li Yi also asked Li Yi to print it and put it in the newspaper, and the people would find it novel.

Even if you can't read and don't want to buy it, you will listen to others read it.

Then write it down, feel like you've got something good, and pass it on.

On the morning of April 20, Song De found Li Yi again.

"Proprietor, all 10,000 copies have been printed, you see."

As he spoke, Song De took out a piece of newspaper, and the smell of ink wafted.

Li Yi took it and read it from beginning to end, the typesetting was fine, and the handwriting was clear.

"Very good, sell it, three dollars a piece." Li Yi returned the newspaper to Song De.

"Huh? Three money? Proprietor, I'm afraid you don't know how much this newspaper costs, right? ”

Song De was dumbfounded and looked at his proprietor suspiciously.

"Naturally, I know that ten dollars for paper and two dollars for ink, not counting the cost of copper coins and labor costs, twelve dollars."

Li Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Then ......" Song De was at a loss, do you know that you still sell for twelve yuan?

"Sell it, you can't lose it. I've written you a few notes here, and if you put them away, if you can't sell them, take them out and shout them. ”

Li Yi didn't want to say more, so he only commanded and took out a few folded notes from his pocket.

"Okay, proprietor, then I'll arrange for someone to sell it." Song De gritted his teeth, listened to the proprietor's words, and turned around with the note.

"In the first few days, our people went to sell, and when the people of Chang'an were familiar, we would see who had an old illness in the family, and hoped that the children would work hard to make ends meet and find them.

After that, the newspaper will be sold to them, and they will be given a penny for selling five copies, or the wages will be adjusted according to the situation. ”

Li Yi added.

Song De, who walked to the door, paused: "I know the proprietor." ”

Song De left sullenly, he was not angry with Li Yi, but angry with himself.

He knew that the proprietor said that he would not compensate and promised that he would not compensate, but he couldn't figure out why he couldn't compensate.

Nine thousand newspapers, three luxury wagons, and one special one to pull people.

and a truck loaded with jelly, spices, and chopsticks.

Five cars set off, and twenty Yulin flying horses followed.

Now that Song De has guards in Zhuangzi, he is afraid that he will be taken away, he knows too much.

The order received by the Yulin Flying Cavalry was that if Song De was attacked, the Yulin Flying Cavalry would not be able to destroy the enemy and rescue him, so he would shoot Song De.

Song De himself knew that he only went to Chang'an City, and did not run around anywhere else.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, they unloaded the cold powder and other things, and the convoy entered, and the gatekeepers began to scrape and add spices to the bowls themselves.

The convoy went directly to the south of the Imperial City and stopped at the location opposite Suzaku Street, where no stalls were allowed, and those who carried the burden were not allowed to sell.

Song De doesn't care about that much, Yulin Flying Horse is protecting, am I selling? I'm sending it, and a newspaper with a cost of 12 cents is only three dollars.

When they arrived at the place, the carriages opened, and everyone stood in a row and shouted together.

"Take a look, take a look, the things sold at a loss are three pennies, this is a newspaper, there are stories on it, and there is common sense of life."

"The newspaper that cost 12 yuan now only sells for 3 yuan, and you can learn knowledge if you buy it."

"The newspaper is the newspaper, you can't see the newspaper, you can see the newspaper."

Song De and the villagers shouted very hard, but unfortunately everyone watched, but they just didn't buy it.

They knew who Song De was, and watched them shout, point, and talk to each other.

Song De: "......"

He couldn't help it, reached into his pocket, took out a folded note, unfolded it, looked, looked, took a deep breath.

Then he shouted resignedly: "Shocked, three men secretly ran into the peach orchard and did such a thing." ”

"Oh~~" The onlookers' eyes lit up and they were surprised.

Someone immediately stepped forward: "Steward Song, what are you talking about?" ”

"It was written in the newspaper that three dollars was just this one." Song De was convinced, but the proprietor was still powerful.

"Is it written?" The other party is suspicious.

"Lie to you, buy it or not, don't buy it, get out of the way, someone will buy it later." Song De does not explain.

"Buy, get one, this paper looks good, don't lose."

"I'll buy one too."

"I'm literate, which of you bought it and read it to me."

A group of people came up to buy the newspaper, and in a short time, more than 400 copies were sold.

The person who got the newspaper avoided the others and ran to the corner to read.

The others chased these people away, the people in front of them dispersed, and the people who came up later didn't know what was going on, what newspaper did Li Zhuangzi come to sell?

Song De took out another note, looked at it, and gritted his teeth: "What did a woman do to make so many men entangled, if you want to buy a newspaper, three yuan, only three dollars." ”

"Wow~~" This time there are more people, and they have paid for it, and the illiterate ones are all buying, ready to find the help of the literate to see.

After a while, Song De took the note: "When I do this, I will sweat all over, panting, and have a dry tongue, there is a way to solve it, and it can also make the man last longer." It's all in the newspapers. ”

All of a sudden, crazy, all crazy, women came running to buy newspapers.

At this time, the person who bought the newspaper before ran over: "Steward Song, how can there be the three men you said......

"Why not, isn't that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei tying up in Taoyuan?" Song Deyi went back.

Other: "......"

Someone next to him said: "I know what a woman has done to make many men entangled, and the queen mother interferes in politics." ”

"How come I don't see anything more lasting for men?" The person who had just bought the newspaper looked at it at a glance and did not find it.

"Prevent heat stroke, dock porters, isn't that the case when you're working? Drink a bowl of salt and cold water, and can it be carried, does it last? Song De asked the other party confidently.

"Okay, Steward Song, good skills, I've served a certain one." The other party clenched his fists, turned around and left.

After walking out for a distance, he picked up the newspaper again and read, there is nothing without that, at least the newspaper is still very good for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the prevention of heat stroke.

A woman who had bought a newspaper came over and took a sip, twisted her waist and left.

Song De smiled, and sold almost 5,000 copies at once.
