Chapter 482: It's not enjoyable to watch
Ang Lee originally set to print 10,000 copies of the third issue of the newspaper, but the number of subscribers alone exceeded 7,000, so 10,000 copies was definitely not enough, so after thinking about it, he decided to double it and print 20,000 copies.

Now the subscribers are generally wealthy families with better family conditions, and they are worried that they will not be able to buy newspapers, so they are willing to pay an extra penny to subscribe, and they can also enjoy door-to-door service.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, the wealthy and not bad money class must be a minority, so it is destined that there are a few who are willing to pay an extra penny, since the subscription can be as high as 7,000 copies, the cheap retail must be much higher, and the total printing volume of 20,000 copies may not be enough.
In order to speed up the printing speed, several copies of the same page were printed, so that 20,000 copies of the newspaper could be printed faster.
According to the calculation of printing a piece of paper in three seconds, a minute can print up to 30 sheets, an hour is 1,800 sheets, if 20,000 copies are printed, it takes eleven hours, that is, five and a half hours, the time is too long, will seriously delay the sale, therefore, must prepare several copies of the same wax paper, a group of people at the same time to start printing, in this way, the speed is doubled.
Newspapers are sold at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, in the eastern and western cities, as well as near the gate of Zhufang.
The flow of people in the east and west cities is large, and if there are a few more newspaper selling points, there will be fewer people in Zhufang, and the newspaper delivery person can be responsible for selling the newspaper and give the same reward.
And because the subscribers pay an extra penny, before selling the newspaper, the subscriber's newspaper must be delivered to their home, and then the five-penny newspaper is sold.
In this way, the subscribers have a greater sense of superiority, because they can get the freshly baked newspaper for the first time, see the content of the newspaper earlier than those who are poor, and can enjoy the superiority of the wealthy class.
The sale of newspapers went so smoothly that the entire 20,000 copies of the newspaper, in addition to the more than 7,000 copies subscribed, the remaining 13,000 copies were sold out in one day, and there was not a single one left.
It was completely expected by Ang Lee to achieve such high sales, because the quality of the newspaper is very guaranteed, and various sections meet the psychological needs of different people.
In particular, the launch of the third round of Condor shooting has made the people who read the newspaper addicted, and the number of fans has increased sharply, and many readers have bought Datang Daily completely because of this novel plagiarized by Ang Lee, that is to say, Ang Lee's contribution to the sales of Datang Newspaper is the largest, so Ang Lee has every reason to give himself the highest remuneration.
A few days later, the sales of Datang Bao increased further, reaching 30,000 copies, and each time it was sold out on the first day, and the sales were very good.
In order to further increase the readership and improve the living standards of the people in the capital, Li An decided to change the Datang newspaper to a two-day issue, so that the frequency of circulation increased by 50%.
Every time, as long as the Datang Newspaper is printed, the first thing to be sent must be the imperial palace and the major yamen, and then the ordinary subscribers, and the last one to be sold on the market.
These days, because he is relatively busy dealing with the government and politics, Li Longji only looks at the previous content, occasionally appreciates the poems, rarely reads advertisements, and does not read the long condor shooting at all.
This time, after dealing with the government affairs, Li Longji was idle, opened the Condor page and took a look, and was immediately attracted by the wonderful content, and couldn't extricate himself.
"Someone, bring me all the newspapers from the previous issues."
Li Longji read the last update and couldn't figure out the content of the previous ones, but from the last time he read it, he felt that this story was very exciting, so he urgently asked people to bring the previous issues of the newspaper.
From the first time, Li Longji watched all the inventory in one go, and from time to time he was amazed, praised the content of the story, and watched it twice in the last time to deepen his impression.
Take a closer look at the signature below, it is actually Ang Lee, that is to say, the story of this condor shooting was written by Ang Lee himself, and it is a small story made up by Ang Lee.
"Xiao Gao, have you read the content of this condor shooting?"
Li Longji's eyes were a little tired, he stood up, and accompanied by Gao Lishi, walked out of the main hall and came to the outside of the hall to see the scenery.
"Everyone, the old slave has read it all, how many times? The story written by Li Shilang is still very interesting and exciting. ā
Gao Lishi got up earlier than Li Longji every time, and was the first to read the newspaper, after all, he was a clean eunuch and didn't need to serve his mother-in-law, and Li Longji, as the emperor, had to work on Yang Yuhuan every night, and the consumption of physical strength and energy was relatively large, so it was easy to understand that he got up later.
"This Li Shilang is really a talent! There is nothing he can't do to write a story so well. ā
Li Longji was quite amazed, thought for a while, and said: "The Great Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom and the Mongolian tribes in this did not exist, but the city that appeared was the city of my Tang Dynasty, it seems that the background of this story was made up by Li Shilang himself." ā
"Your Majesty, when the old slave first saw it, he was also a little foggy, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand that the Great Song Dynasty represents the Southern Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom is the Northern Dynasty, and the Mongolian tribes are afraid that there is no doubt that the specific stories are made up."
Colliers said.
Because the Great Song Dynasty was after the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible for the Tang people to know the affairs of the Song Dynasty, so they couldn't read that unique feeling, they just felt that the story was well written and wonderful.
"The story made up by Li Shilang is very good, but it is too little, I still want to see the following content, but here comes a sentence, if you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next breakdown, it is really appetizing."
Li Longji hasn't seen it yet, his heart is itching, and he can't wait to read the whole story in one go.
"Everyone, now the Datang Daily has been changed to a two-day issue, and it will be updated tomorrow."
Colliers said.
"How's the sales going?"
"I heard that it has exceeded 30,000 copies, and there are still many people who can't buy it?"
"Well, that's good, Xuan Li Shilang enters the palace."
Li Longji really wants to continue to read the following content, he already knows that this novel was written by Li An, so Li An should know the plot behind, which is the most fundamental reason why he announced Li An's entry into the palace, in addition, you can also ask about the progress of Datang Daily.
Ang Lee is busy at the newspaper, although it is still a two-day issue, but in order to cultivate readers' reading habits, one issue a day is undoubtedly the best, and this requires the staff of the newspaper to be proficient in the business, otherwise, it is easy to be too busy.
The emperor's announcement naturally could not be delayed, and after Li An heard the order, he immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor.
"Your Majesty."
Li Longji looked at Li An with a kind expression and said, "Datang newspaper is very good, it has 30,000 sales, haha!" ā
"30,000 is nothing, Datang has a population of one million, and nearby cities, including the eastern capital of Luoyang, can issue Datang newspapers, and in the future, count these areas, and it is trivial to sell more than 100,000."
Li An said happily.
"The sales volume is 100,000, it's worth looking forward to, by the way, the Condor was written by Aiqing?"
Li Longji turned the conversation to the novel.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's all made up by Weichen for the people to be idle and bored."
Li An said modestly.
"I see that Li Shilang's story is very good, very exciting!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."
Li Longji nodded and asked, "When was this story written, and is there still a manuscript?" ā
Of course, Ang Lee would not say that he plagiarized his predecessors, let alone that he had a lot of manuscripts, otherwise, Li Longji would not be chasing after him every day to save manuscripts! In this case, do not die of exhaustion?
"Your Majesty, these stories are all made up by Weichen himself, and he writes wherever he thinks, and he doesn't have a manuscript?"
Li An said with a serious face.
"Oh, I see!"
Li Longji looked disappointed, paused, and said: "Then Li Shilang must write it well, and he must not make up the story badly, I am still waiting to see the story behind?" ā
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Wechen will do his best to write the following content, and he will not disappoint His Majesty."
Ang Lee has already memorized all the plots of the Condor Shooting in his head, how can he write it badly?
Subsequently, Li Longji pulled Ang Lee to chat about the plot for a while to understand the source of Ang Lee's creative inspiration, and then Ang Lee returned to the newspaper office and continued to be busy with newspaper optimization.
A month later, the development of Datang Daily was completely on the right track, and the two-day Datang Daily was officially changed to a one-day issue, so as to achieve greater popularity and make the people of Beijing more enjoyable.
Especially Ang Lee's serialized Condor Shooting, after the frequency of its appearance is high, readers are a little more enjoyable to watch, and even, many literati readers, after watching Condor Shooting, actually learned to thank the book review, and the writing is very good.
Even book reviews can be published to earn manuscript fees, and many poor literati who have their own culture are not calm, and have submitted various articles in the hope of earning some Weibo manuscript fees.
However, there are still a lot of readers in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the capital area, there are many readers like carp crossing the river, and the number of submissions is also very large, so that most of the manuscripts sink into the sea after submission, which makes many literati a little indignant, obviously they write very well and vividly, but they are squeezed out by people with worse quality than themselves.
As a result, many people feel that the submission of Datang Daily is shady, and talented manuscripts are buried, and even, these guys have joined forces in private and said bad things about Datang Daily everywhere, just because they have been rejected repeatedly.
Although the energy of these literati is extremely limited and cannot have a decisive impact on the sales of Datang Daily, Ang Lee, as the person in charge of Datang Daily, cannot tolerate others slandering Datang Daily in this way, and Ang Lee cannot tolerate this kind of behavior from love to hate.
Now, Datang Daily has just stepped into the right track, just like a child who has just learned to walk, it is relatively fragile and needs good care and care, and it must not be maliciously attacked and harmed.
To this end, Ang Lee deliberately published a rebuttal article, pointing out the problems of these insufficiently qualified literati, and said that the selection of Datang Daily's commissioned manuscripts was decided under the careful screening of dozens of editors, and moreover, it was necessary to conduct cross-review, and there would never be a high-level manuscript missing.
The general meaning is to point out that some literati are self-righteous, and their talents are very limited, but they insist on pretending to be forced, as if they are really talented, in fact, they are half-assed people with a very average level of writing.
The whole article was sharp-tongued, scolding these pretending models who did not have much level, and warned them that if they want to publish articles successfully, they must practice their basic skills and learn more from famous artists, not just write a little thing and publish it.
After writing this critical article, Li Ang sighed loudly, although he didn't know what the specific effect would be, but Li Ang believed that this article would definitely be able to hit hard, and the arrogance of these self-righteous literati made them understand how many pounds and taels they had, and how big the gap between them and others was.
People tend to be overconfident, especially the literati, who have been inferior to each other since ancient times, but this is often not the case.
After the newspaper was released, many people saw this sharply refuted article written by Ang Lee, and most of the people had a positive attitude towards it, and even some of the people who were refuted began to reflect on themselves, feeling that what Ang Lee said was right, and there was still a gap between them and others.
However, there are still some literati who have been repeatedly rejected insist on their own views, they are extremely confident in their own literary talents, and always feel that the Datang Daily manuscript has an insider, or that the person in charge of reviewing the manuscript is biased against him, otherwise, how could he have repeatedly hit a wall with such a good article he wrote.
There was a bold literati who directly wrote an article refuting Ang Lee, and sent it directly to the newspaper with the work he submitted last time.
After the staff got the newspaper, they immediately read it in detail, and then handed it over to Du Fu.
Because Li Bai took a leave of absence, he went to find a friend to drink, so Du Fu was left alone as the deputy editor-in-chief.
Du Fu read the article written by this person, and couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and commented: "The whole article is full of gorgeous rhetoric, but there is nothing to say, such an article also wants to be submitted, and my head is broken?" ā
"Someone, send this manuscript to Li Shilang."
Du Fu wanted to throw it away after reading it, but he felt that this manuscript was a bit interesting, so he asked someone to give it to Ang Lee, so that Ang Lee could also be happy.
"Li Shilang, the article recommended by the deputy editor-in-chief, you can take a look."
Li Anhu took the manuscript suspiciously, and after reading it again, he came to the same conclusion as Du Fu, this literati who didn't know the height of the sky, could not see himself clearly, and he tried in vain to win the favor of the editor by writing a bunch of gorgeous rhetoric, which was simply a fool's dream.
However, Li Ang thought about it and felt that this material could be sorted out and published, and he wrote the comments of himself and Du Fu and other editors, and even asked readers to comment on the articles written by this literati.
