In the printing workshop of the Chu Palace, although it was late at night, it was still a candlelight.

Luo Bingwang hurried to get out the contents of the first edition of the newspaper this morning, and then came to the printing workshop in person to keep an eye on the printing work of the newspaper.

In these days, there is no computer typesetting, as soon as your manuscript comes, click the mouse, and immediately start printing.

"Luo Langjun, the number of words in this newspaper is a bit much, even if it is prepared overnight today, it can't print 5,000 copies, why don't we print 1,000 copies first, and then add more depending on the situation?"

Dai Bin, the shopkeeper of the printing workshop, obviously had an opinion about the printing of 5,000 copies of the newspaper at the opening of the lion of Luo Bingwang.

Although Chang'an City is a large city with a population of more than one million, if calculated according to the number of households, that is, the appearance of more than 100,000 households, where can 5,000 copies be sold?

Dai Bin, who is very responsible, does not want Luo Bingwang to waste resources.

"Then print a thousand copies tomorrow morning, and continue to print the rest during the day tomorrow."

Although this newspaper is called "Datang Daily", Li Kuan has already told Luo Bingwang that it will be published once every three days in the initial stage, and then it will be changed to one page a day when the conditions are ripe.

So all the newspapers can't be printed tonight, and Luo Bingwang is actually not in such a hurry.

"That'...... That's fine! ”

Dai Bin had no choice but to arrange for people to continue to prepare according to the scale of 5,000 newspapers.

In recent years, the development of papermaking workshops has been very fast, and there is no need to worry about the shortage of paper in printing workshops.

It's just that with movable type printing, it takes some time to retypeset.

……

Early in the morning, the morning sun rises from the east as usual.

After Su Chengguan finished breakfast, he got into the carriage as usual and headed for Dali Temple.

"La-la-la!

I'm a little connoisseur of selling newspapers~

Don't wait for the dawn to wait for the newspaper~

One side walks ~ and the other side calls ~

Today's news is really good~

Buy a newspaper for a copper plate~"

Su Chengguan leaned on the carriage window, watching the people coming and going outside, but he was attracted by the crisp voice of a child.

"Stop!"

"Hey! What are you selling? ”

Su Chengguan motioned for the carriage driver to stop, and then shouted at the child.

A teenage child, who seemed to be holding a pile of papers or something in his hand, sang strange tunes in his mouth, as if he was selling something, Su Chengguan couldn't help but be curious.

"This Lang Jun, the freshly baked "Datang Daily", a penny, do you want a copy? A penny a piece, you can't be fooled, you can't buy a loss, just with such a large piece of paper, it's definitely worth a penny. ”

Zhao Xiaoer is an orphan in the Relief Workshop, and today is the first day he has been on the street to sell newspapers.

However, after so many years in the clinic, he has developed a cheeky face, let alone a trick.

In addition, yesterday there was someone who specially taught everyone how to sell newspapers, so when he saw Su Chengguan greeting him, he immediately answered fluently.

"Datang Daily? What is this? ”

Su Chengguan thought about it for a while, making sure that this was the first time he had heard of this thing.

"So that this Lang Jun knows that this "Datang Daily", but His Royal Highness the King of Chu personally arranged for someone to organize editing and printing in order to enrich the life information of our people in the Tang Dynasty and let everyone know about the world without going out. A newspaper sells for a penny, which is a completely loss-making business. You see, today's newspaper contains the latest movements of the imperial court, all kinds of news in the East and West Markets, and even His Royal Highness the King of Chu personally serialized a copy on it. ”

Zhao Xiaoer was illiterate.

He didn't know what was written in this Datang Daily.

But that didn't stop him from selling today's newspapers.

The people of Datang Daily have told you that for every ten copies of the newspaper sold, everyone can get a penny reward, and the more they sell, the more rewards they will get, and there is no upper limit!

Zhao Xiaoer, who has been in the Relief Workshop for so many years and has never really owned a few copper coins, is more concerned about this matter than anyone else.

But if you have a little bit of interest, you won't stay in the clinic forever.

They won't be kept all the time, a ten-year-old child like Zhao Xiaoer can eat gruel mixed with two more years at most in the Relief Workshop, and he will need to work hard in the future.

After all, although the hospital was set up by the imperial court, although it was a charity, it could not be left to people to take advantage of it.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a new work?"

Su Chengguan's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Give me one, no, five!"

Su Chengguan immediately became interested in Zhao Xiao's "Datang Daily".

A few pennies are nothing to him at all.

But there is the latest work of His Royal Highness the King of Chu on it, which made him interested.

It just so happens that there is nothing to do today, buy a newspaper and go back, make a pot of Longjing fragrant tea, and there is something to do today.

As for the extra copies, they naturally gave them to their colleagues and superiors.

Although this thing seems to be worthless, it is the most suitable to sell personal favors.

After all, although this newspaper is just a piece of paper, it can barely be classified as a book, right?

Such a small gift is more suitable than dessert.

"Five...... Five copies? ”

Zhao Xiaoer was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out five copies of "Datang Daily" from his arms and gave them to Su Chengguan.

"Lang Jun, you have it! If you are interested, every time a new edition comes out in the future, I can send it directly to you, you just need to tell me where the address of the house is. ”

As soon as he made a move, he was five copies, and he went out to ride the popular four-wheeled carriage in Chang'an City, and Zhao Xiaoer knew that the person in front of him was a big customer.

If you can make this big customer become your regular customer, you will definitely be able to sell more newspapers every day, and you will receive more rewards.

In this way, when I am twelve years old, I can buy a small yard near the Relief Workshop, right?

"Yes, the Su Mansion in the alley in front is my home, next time you will send it directly to the door. If I think the newspaper is good, I'll order one batch at a time. ”

Su Chengguan heard Zhao Xiaoer say that it could be delivered to the door, which was naturally happy to save trouble.

As for what benefits Zhao Xiaoer would get from it, he didn't care at all.

"Okay, don't worry, the products of the Chu Wangfu will be high-quality, Langjun, you will definitely like it."

After Zhao Xiaoer finished speaking, he continued to shout and walk forward.

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! His Royal Highness the King of Chu's latest work is out! ”

……

Wuhe is in the center, and Guo Dezhi is telling stories there as usual.

But there is nothing new recently, so he has to take "Smiling Proud Jianghu" to say it again.

But fortunately, the audience in this year is not very picky, although many people have heard this story, but from Guo Dezhi's mouth, it feels a little different.

That kind of feeling of inhibition and frustration cannot be imitated by ordinary people.

"Master, look, the apprentice has found a good thing."

Guo Yunhe took advantage of Guo Dezhi's rest, and immediately came to his side and handed over a brand new piece of paper.

"What's good, can't you wait until later?"

Guo Dezhi glanced at Guo Yunhe and felt a little strange.

This apprentice has always been very well-behaved and very eye-catching, what's wrong today?

This kind of impatient personality is not suitable for storytelling.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu seems to have a masterpiece on the market, look at it, it's on this piece of paper."

"Yunhe, although you know that you have always been very interested in those poems, we really need to understand some poetry in our storytelling industry. However, you have to recognize the fundamentals, no matter how good poetry is, it is impossible for us to become the subject of our storytelling, so don't get the point wrong. His Royal Highness the King of Chu's poems are a must in Chang'an City, and there are few opponents, but if you have time, you might as well read His Royal Highness the King of Chu's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The Legend of the White Snake" or "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which is more beneficial to the improvement of your storytelling skills. ”

Guo Dezhi was a little unhappy.

Guo Yunhe's hand was just a large piece of paper, and it was obvious that he couldn't record much text.

Thinking about it this way, Guo Yunhe's new work can only be one or a few poems.

However, no matter how well these poems are written, there is no way to adapt them into the content of the story.

You can't make it up and add a bunch of stories behind these poems, right?

He didn't feel his neck that hard.

"Master, I understand what you said. I haven't read poetry books for a while now, and I'm just reading those. This time, I also unexpectedly found that among the new "Datang Daily", there is a new production by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, so I hurried to report to you. ”

Guo Yunhe saw that his master had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained.

If you are angry, you naturally don't have it.

The master-apprentice relationship in these years is not like that of later generations.

To put it mildly, worshipping the teacher is equivalent to re-recognizing half of your father, and people beat you and scold you, even if you go to the yamen, he is the one who suffers.

"Huh? With such a piece of paper, how can it be possible to record the next one? ”

Guo Dezhi's look at you think I'm stupid or you stupid made Guo Yunhe depressed for a while.

However, the statement "Datang Daily" in Guo Yunhe's mouth still aroused his interest.

After Guo Dezhi took the newspaper, he took a quick look.

"The imperial court placed the Anxi Protectorate in Jiaohe City."

"There was a bumper harvest of autumn grain, and the granaries in Gangnam Province were full."

"The price of sugar is gradually declining, and the people of Chang'an are laughing."

"The second phase of the medical hall affiliated to Guanshishan Academy was officially put into use."

"The Datang Royal Military Academy will be officially established next month."

"Zhen Shiyin dreams and knows psychic, and Jia Yucun is beautiful in the dust."

Seeing this, Guo Dezhi's eyes immediately stopped moving.

Obviously, this is the new work of His Royal Highness the King of Chu that Guo Yunhe said.

Although the signature is still the same as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is written "Luo Guanzhong", but everyone knows that this Luo Guanzhong is a vest of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

When "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was produced, it was also written by Luo Guanzhong.

“…… However, it is said that when the Nuwa clan was refining stones to make up for the sky, they refined 36,500 stubborn stones 12 zhang high and 24 zhang square in the Wuji Cliff of the Great Wilderness Mountain. Emperor Nawa [interesting] only used 36,500 yuan, and only one piece was left unused and discarded under the Qinggang Peak. Who knows that since this stone has been exercised, the spirituality has been passed, and it can be big or small......"

Guo Dezhi looked at this new work called "Dream of Red Mansions" intently, and he didn't even pay attention to the guests in the restaurant urging him to continue telling the story.

"Ahem!"

Pan Wang also noticed this abnormality, and couldn't help but stand beside Guo Dezhi and coughed lightly.

However, this did not make Guo Dezhi come back to his senses from the newspaper.

On the contrary, Guo Yunhe on the side stood there a little embarrassed, looking at his shopkeeper, and then at his master, not knowing what to do.

"Shopkeeper Pan, what does this old Guo mean? Isn't it strange to leave us here like this, not up or down? ”

"Yes, what is so beautiful, which kind of letter to him can't be written?"

"Hurry up, this just mentioned the Wuyue Sword Sect competition, why did it stop here?"

Hearing these urgings in his ears, Pan Wang had no choice but to arch his hand to everyone and apologize.

Then he reached out and patted Guo Dezhi's shoulder, "Old Guo, what is so good-looking?" Can you show me too? ”

"Huh?"

Guo Dezhi raised his head a little dazedly, looked at Pan Wang, and then looked at Guo Yunhe.

Obviously, he's still immersed in the story.

However, he was not stupid and immediately understood what was going on.

"Yunhe, this storytelling, no matter how much you practice, it doesn't have the effect of talking about it in person, today as a teacher, let's see how you have practiced during this time, and the next half, it's up to you."

In Guo Yunhe's bewildered expression, and then with an excited expression, he walked onto the stage tremblingly.

Is this considered a teacher?

This opportunity came too suddenly, didn't it?

……

"Your Majesty, this is the new "Datang Daily" published in Chang'an City today, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu arranged someone to make it."

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Zhong took a copy of "Datang Daily" and put it in front of Li Shimin.

This newspaper is really a novelty.

However, it also recorded some major events in the court, which made the Baiqi Division can't help but mention a little vigilance.

If it weren't for the people from the Chu Palace, it is estimated that this thing would have been banned directly.

"Huh? Kuan'er, he has come up with something new? ”

Li Shimin glanced at the newspaper on the table, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Since this morning, the honeycomb coal shops in various squares of Chang'an City have been selling the Datang Daily, and there are many children on the street calling to sell the newspaper. Now many people in Chang'an City know that His Royal Highness the King of Chu arranged for someone to launch a special thing. ”

Li Zhong felt that he had become busy again recently.

To be precise, after Li Kuan returned to Chang'an City, he became busy.

Every once in a while, he came up with some new things, and he couldn't help but report to Li Shimin.

Who knows when these things will appear in front of Li Shimin?

"This newspaper talks about major affairs in the court, although it is a little sensitive, but his news is not a secret, and I am still relieved about Kuan'er's affairs."

Li Shimin quickly scanned it and found that there was nothing particularly sensitive inside, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This Li Kuan finally knows how to measure.
