July 20, 12th year of Koji.

The whole Ming Morning Post is extremely busy, here in the printing house, the printing workers are working desperately to print out one newspaper after another, they have been busy for two days, and almost 10,000 newspapers have been printed so far.

Tomorrow is the discovery day of the first issue of the Ming Morning Post, and early tomorrow morning, these newspapers will appear in everyone's field of vision.

"Hurry, hurry~"

"These 5,000 newspapers must be delivered to Tianjin before dawn tomorrow~"

Zhang Xian, who was in charge of managing this matter, was busy sweating.

In the courtyard, a hundred recruited children, all of whom were only eleven or twelve years old, were watching with very immature eyes at this time, listening carefully to the people above to say something.

"Tomorrow morning, each of you will carry a newspaper to the street to deliver a newspaper, fifty newspapers for each person, this newspaper is mainly given to some teahouses, taverns, restaurants and some large households, after sending fifty powders of newspaper, you can come to me to receive a reward, one person and fifteen cents!"

"Do you all understand?"

Jiang Chao, who was in charge of the matter, said to these newsboys.

In this era, there are still a few children who can afford to go to school, most of the children are not able to read, I heard that the Ming Morning Post is recruiting some newsboys, the parents of these children are very excited, and the children can also make money, which is very important for ordinary people's families, because it means that there will be an extra income in the future.

"Understood~"

The children all nodded and replied in unison.

"Okay, I'll tell you how to sell these newspapers, we give away the first few issues of the newspaper for free, but in the back, our newspaper is going to sell."

"We sell this newspaper for five cents, and you sell more, the more money you can get, and you can get one penny if you sell two copies, so you have to study hard and listen to it well, so that you can make more money."

Jiang Chao nodded with satisfaction, and then began to teach these newsboys the skills of selling newspapers, of course, this was also taught to him by Liu Jin.

"Tomorrow, when you go to sell newspapers, you must shout out loudly, and when you walk, you will hold the newspaper in your hand and wave it, and at the same time shout loudly to sell newspapers, sell newspapers~"

Jiang Chao took out a newspaper and said to these newsboys while demonstrating.

"Come, you all learn~"

"Sell Newspaper~Sell Newspaper~"

Many newspaper boys also shouted out in unison, shaking their hands while raising their hands, learning in a good way, and the children's learning ability is very strong.

"Next, you have to memorize some important news news, such as the first issue we will issue tomorrow, it has two main news news, one is the Tatar Buckle, the soldiers committed Gansu and Shaanxi, and the other is the Southwest Tusi Rebellion, and the imperial court mountain camp has made great achievements."

"So when you shout, you should shout like this."

"Sell the newspaper, sell the newspaper, the Tartars detain the customs, the soldiers in Gansu, Shaanxi~"

"Or to put it this way, the newspaper is sold, the newspaper is sold, the southwest Tusi rebels, and the imperial court mountain camp has made meritorious contributions~"

"If you shout like this, everyone will immediately know what news is mainly in such an issue, so that everyone can pay for your newspaper."

"Do you understand?"

Jiang Chao was very patient to teach these newsboys.

"Understood~"

When the newsboys heard this, they quickly nodded and said.

"Okay, you come out and show everyone."

Jiang Chao nodded, then pointed to a newsboy at the front and said, this newsboy was a little small and a little timid, and was named by Jiang Chao.

He also stood up tremblingly, a little at a loss.

"Sell the newspaper, sell the newspaper~"

"Tartar detains the customs, and the soldiers commit Gansu and Shaanxi~"

It was the first time for Wang Tiedan to speak in front of so many people, he seemed very scared, and his voice was very small, but he firmly remembered Jiang Chao's words.

"Well, that's good, it's just that it's too quiet, a little louder."

Jiang Chao nodded and said.

When Wang Tiedan heard this, he gritted his teeth and let go of his voice and shouted.

"That's right, when you sell the newspaper tomorrow, you have to shout like this, the louder the better, the more people who know, the better, so that your newspaper can sell well, you can make more money, and with the money you can buy what you like to eat, and you can buy what you want to buy."

"Do you understand?"

Jiang Chao was very satisfied with this, and told the newsboys again.

"Understood~"

Everyone hurriedly said in unison.

"That's okay, you guys practice and practice here first, don't pee your pants in fear when you go to the street to sell newspapers tomorrow, then you will be laughed at."

Jiang Chao smiled, and left after dropping a word, he was also very busy, and there were many things that needed to be busy.

…..

"Childe, this is the first issue of the Ming Morning Post that we just printed~ Please take a look."

Zhang Xian, Bao Jiwen, Ou Yangguang and others came to meet Liu Jin and respectfully showed Liu Jin the Ming Morning Post, which had just been printed today.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, notify me, everyone's monthly rings will double this month."

Liu Jin took the newspaper and looked at their reddened eyes.

In the past few days, they have indeed been very busy, busy and busy, and it is far more difficult to publish newspapers in this era than in later generations, and they have encountered all kinds of difficulties.

There were a lot of things in the layout and printing of this newspaper alone, and these people were busy for several days before they got the first newspaper.

"Thank you, Childe~"

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, everyone's moon was already very high, and this time it doubled, and they immediately felt that the hard work and sweat of these days were worth it.

"Hmm~"

Liu Jin nodded, Liu Jin didn't plan to make money when he opened this Ming Morning Post, and now he has a lot of money to sprinkle, if he can advertise in the future, he can maintain the daily expenses and operations.

This newspaper sells for five yuan, and now 10,000 copies are found in one issue, even if they are all sold, it is only 50,000 yuan, which is a matter of dozens of miles of silver, relying on this to make money, Liu Jin will definitely lose to his grandmother's family.

Liu Jin picked up the newspaper and looked at it carefully.

There are only two newspapers, compared with four or five newspapers at every turn, or even seven or eight in later generations, it still seems very few, mainly because it is too difficult to collect news materials in this era, inconvenient transportation, inconvenient communication, and the collection of news materials, Liu Jin feels that he has to work hard, he must throw real money into it, cultivate a huge team of news reporters, and then let these go deep into all corners of the Ming Dynasty to collect news materials.

Otherwise, this Ming Morning Post may become a weekly or monthly newspaper, because there is no news for you to publish a newspaper every day.

In addition to the relatively small length, the words on this newspaper are also very large, if the newspaper of later generations is printed with the fifth word, then the words on this newspaper are basically the third word, the word is relatively large, mainly for printing considerations, printing technology is not mature.

There is certainly no way to make the printed words too small, and more importantly, the words at this time are still traditional characters, and there is no way to print them if they are too small, so that they can only be printed more clearly.

Typography and art are also far from being compared with later generations, the rules and regulations on the newspaper are straight lines, and there are no patterns and patterns, as for the picture, there is no at all, this is too troublesome, the cost is too high, it is not realistic at all, so all are words,

As for some headlines and the like, important news and other things are all placed in a conspicuous position like later generations, and they are also printed in larger characters, so that people can have a focus and attract attention when they look at it.

The font is in block letters, which is the most convenient to print and read, and the ranks are the same as those of later generations, from left to right, from top to bottom, which is different from the habits of this era.

The writing habit of this era is from right to left, column by column, column by column, and there is no punctuation marks and so on.

But this newspaper is different, with a lot of vernacular text and punctuation, even people who can't read sentences will not hinder reading, and can read the newspaper smoothly and clearly understand all the news content conveyed in the newspaper.

Newspapers are a little different from later newspapers, or because of printing technology, of course, it is also because of paper, in order to reduce costs, the quality of paper used in newspapers is relatively poor, and when the printing technology and ink are not up to standard, there is no way to do two-sided printing, so there is only one side.

A newspaper has only content on the front, and the north side is blank and has no content.

In general, this newspaper is still very different from the newspapers of later generations, but it is very good to be able to produce such a newspaper in this era.

And this is just the beginning, and it can be improved and improved one after another.

"Nice, nice~"

After reading it carefully from beginning to end, Liu Jin also nodded with satisfaction.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Xian, Bao Jiwen, Ou Yangguang and others also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there were no more moths on Liu Jin's side, otherwise if they changed it again, they wouldn't want to rest tonight.

"Let's get busy, tomorrow is the release day of the first issue of our Ming Morning Post, everyone do their own work, don't make any trouble, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it will be easier and easier in the future."

"Yes~"
