July 21, 12th year of Hongji.

At this time, the night was shrouded, there was no light in the sky, and it was dark outside, but the Ming Morning Post was brightly lit, and everyone was busy.

"Hurry up~Hurry up~"

"Everyone came and got fifty newspapers~"

In the courtyard, Jiang Chao shouted to more than 100 newsboys, who lined up in a very orderly manner to receive 50 copies of the newspaper, and then put the newspaper into a diagonal bag made of cloth.

"How did I shout the slogan yesterday, do you still remember?"

The newsboys had another newspaper, and Jiang Chao asked again.

"Remember~"

The newsboys nodded one after another.

"Very good~"

Jiang Chao nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to a newsboy and said, "You come and shout." ”

"Yes~"

The newsboy said respectfully, and then opened his throat and began to shout: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, Tartars detain customs, soldiers in Gansu and Shaanxi~"

When this newsboy was generally shouting, he also took out a few newspapers and waved his hand constantly, which made Jiang Chao also satisfied.

"That's right, that's all~"

"Did everyone else see it?"

"I saw it~"

The newsboys said in unison again.

"Very good, everyone should remember that the more newspapers sell, the more money you get, don't be afraid if you want to make money, shout loudly, be bold."

"Does everyone know?"

Jiang Chao nodded with satisfaction, and then told these newsboys again, they were all eleven or twelve years old, they were all children, and they were all relatively young.

"Got it~"

The newsboys replied again.

"The voice is too quiet, I can't hear clearly~"

Jiang Chao deliberately pretended not to hear clearly.

"Got it~"

The newsboys shouted loudly again, very neatly.

"It's good~ Let's go eat."

Jiang Chao nodded with satisfaction and motioned for them to go to breakfast.

When these newsboys heard this, they immediately ran faster than rabbits, and rushed directly in the direction of the restaurant.

"Oh~Oh~"

With the sound of roosters, the sky in the east began to appear red morning glow, the early dynasty here in the palace Jinluan Hall has lasted for a while, and the people in the capital are also rising one after another, and a new day is about to begin.

"Departure~"

Jiang Chao looked at the newsboys gathered in the courtyard again, lined up neatly, looked at the time again, waved his hand and said.

More than 100 newsboys immediately turned around in a very orderly manner, and began to walk towards the gate of the Ming Morning Post, they had already assigned the area in advance, each person was responsible for a street or something, after the Ming Morning Post, many newsboys quickly walked towards their assigned area.

Wang Tiedan looked at the dark sky outside, and then looked at the street that was still empty, the whole person looked very nervous, he hugged the newspaper in his bag tightly, and walked quickly towards the street he was assigned.

This time Wang Tiedan was very lucky, the area he assigned was a street in the powerful area of the capital, and the people in these areas were all dignitaries in the capital, and the newspaper must be very good.

If you are assigned to the slums in the capital, who will spend five cents to buy your newspaper, of course, the first few issues are sent, but there are very few literate people in the slums, even if they are given away for free, they can't understand it.

But at this time, Wang Tiedan was not happy because he was assigned to the elite area, but felt nervous and scared, afraid that he would collide with the nobles, and when the time came, he would be beaten to death and there would be no place to reason.

It is getting closer and closer to his own area, and there are already powerful areas nearby, with high gates, huge thresholds, big lions placed at the door, and the family members, guards and others guarding the door.

Walking in such an area, Wang Tiedan became even more nervous, especially when someone noticed him, his legs trembled with fright, and he was too scared.

After all, he is still a child, and he is also a child of ordinary people, so it is normal to be afraid.

The sky gradually brightened, the morning sun rose and sprinkled the sun all over the earth, and there were more and more people on the street, there were housekeepers and servants who went out to purchase, and there were also dignitaries and dignitaries who sat in carriages and sedan chairs.

"Sold newspaper~"

Wang Tiedan looked at the newspaper in his arms, remembered Jiang Chao's instructions, and shouted out.

It's just that his voice is so small, so small that only he can hear it, and he is really a little nervous, a little scared.

But soon, he thought of money, of cute copper plates, and with money he could buy meat buns that he liked to eat, and he could also buy some for his younger siblings.

Thinking of this, Wang Tiedan turned his teeth and began to shout loudly: "Sell the newspaper, sell the newspaper~"

"Tartar buckles, soldiers and prisoners sweet potato, Shaanxi~"

"Sold newspapers~Sold newspapers~"

"Southwest Toast Rebellion~"

Accompanied by Wang Tiedan's shouting, the people on the surrounding streets also looked over, and they were all slightly stunned, not understanding what was going on with this newspaper sale.

"Go and call that kid~"

At the door of a high-ranking house, a man who looked like an old man was about to go out in a carriage, when he heard the voice, looked over, and suddenly saw Wang Tiedan, who was holding a newspaper in his hand and shouting as he walked.

The newspaper, the Tatar Buckle, and the Southwest Tusi Rebellion were immediately attracted, so he commanded the people around him.

"Kid~Kid~"

"Come here, come here~ Our lord called you."

When the family members around him heard this, they also hurriedly ran to Wang Tiedan's side and called Wang Tiedan.

"I've seen a noble~"

Wang Tiedan looked very nervous, and he didn't even dare to look up at people, and said respectfully when he came to the luxurious carriage.

"What's the matter with your newspaper?"

Master Li looked at Wang Tiedan and asked curiously.

"Back to your nobleman, I am a newsboy of the Ming Morning Post, specializing in selling newspapers, do you want to have one?"

Wang Tiedan said nervously.

"Newspapers?"

"Okay, how do you sell it?"

Master Li looked at the newspaper in Wang Tiedan's hand, smiled and said.

"Five cents a copy~ No, no, our first few issues are free of charge."

Wang Tiedan replied immediately, then remembered that the first few issues were free, and quickly changed his words, and then respectfully took out a newspaper and respectfully presented it.

These are also taught by Jiang Chao, selling newspapers is also equivalent to doing business, since it is business, then the service attitude must be good, so you must be respectful, speak and do things.

"Thank you then~"

"Reward~"

Master Li looked at Wang Tiedan's respectful appearance, took the newspaper, opened it, and saw the content on it, and immediately came to his senses, and commanded the family next to him.

"Reward you~"

When the family next to him heard this, he hurriedly took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and handed them to Wang Tiedan.

"Thank you for the reward~"

Wang Tiedan was holding a copper coin in both hands, full of twenty or thirty wen, and his immature hands were about to be unable to fit, and suddenly the whole person was happy and grateful.

"Hmm~"

Master Li nodded with satisfaction, walked into the four-wheeled carriage with the newspaper, sat down comfortably, opened the newspaper and looked at it carefully.

"Tartar buckles, soldiers and prisoners sweet potato, Shaanxi~"

The first thing you see is naturally the important event that is placed in the most prominent position, and you can read it very quickly.

"This is very novel, from top to bottom, from left to right, and these strange rich people, which makes people read very smoothly, and there are annotations below~"

Master Li also came to the spirit at once, carefully studied this newspaper, and soon discovered its differences.

"Interesting~"

Master Li nodded again and again, and then began to look at it with relish.

"These hateful Tartars, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, the court should send a large army to wipe them out~"

"It's a good job, the southwest toast is really unaware of the height of the sky, Yelang is arrogant, and he dares to rebel, the mountain camp is brave, and it is really the important weapon of the country~"

Master Li was very involved in reading it, and he liked this new newspaper at once, and kept calling it out while reading it.

"The prodigal son will not change his money?"

"It turned out to be about Wang Enyi, this loser, I said a long time ago that as soon as the old man Wang Shirui left, he was destined to lose the family business, but I didn't expect that it had only been a few months, and he had fallen to this point."

"The prodigal son turns back, and the money is not changed, but the family business is gone, and it is difficult to make a comeback."

"Lao Wang is amazing, he even thought of this first, it turned out that he had already deposited the money in the first bank of Daming, this deposit was thirty years, and the annual interest was seven percent, and there was more than 20,000 taels of silver in this year..."

Soon saw the report about Wang Enyi, and he couldn't help but think: "Is this really feasible, do you want to save some silver in it?" ”

"Anyway, this silver is useless at home, and if it is deposited in this Ming First Bank, there is really interest."

Master Li watched it very devotedly, looked at it carefully, read it with relish, and while reading it, he also thought about the things he had encountered, and immediately felt that this newspaper was very good.

"Nice~Nice~"

……

"Sold newspapers~Sold newspapers~"

On the other hand, Wang Tiedan, who got the reward, seemed to have a big chicken blood, and the fear and fear in his heart disappeared cleanly, and his mind was full of money.

This noble man casually rewarded thirty copper coins, which made him very excited, Jiang Chao had already said in advance that if someone gave a reward, the reward would be yours.

This means that the thirty copper coins that were rewarded are all his own, and the thirty copper coins are all his own, and he has never taken much money, and he is thinking about continuing to sell newspapers in his mind.

So he also let go completely, opened his throat and kept shouting.

"The kid is coming~"

Soon, business came to the door again, and another old man who was about to go out called Wang Tiedan over.

Soon a newspaper was sold, and Wang Tiedan got a reward of more than a dozen yuan, which made him even more excited and began to shout loudly.

At this time, the entire capital gradually woke up from sleep as the sky became brighter, and there were more and more pedestrians on the streets.

"Sold newspapers~Sold newspapers~"

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

One by one, the newspaper boys walked on the streets, holding the newspaper in their hands, and kept shouting at the top of their voices.

The first time I heard someone selling newspapers, it immediately attracted the attention of the old and young masters in the capital, because it was delivered for free, so basically you can get a newspaper when you ask.

In the whole capital, more than 5,000 copies of the first issue of the Ming Morning Post were issued, and more than 100 newsboys kept walking on the streets, constantly shouting, and soon one newspaper after another dispersed.

A teahouse in the capital is here.

As the sun gradually rises, the teahouse here is also extremely busy, the old and young masters in the capital like to drink tea, this morning to come to the teahouse here to drink tea, eat breakfast, is also a very enjoyable thing.

"Sold newspapers~Sold newspapers~"

The sound of the newsboy selling newspapers immediately attracted the attention of the guests in the teahouse.

"Kid, come here, how do you sell this newspaper?"

The shopkeeper of the teahouse called the newsboy over and said.

"If you go back to the nobles, the first few issues of this newspaper will be sent for free, and the back will be five cents a piece~"

"I'll give you one today, I wish you a prosperous business~"

The newsboy was very good at talking, had a sweet mouth, and respectfully gave a newspaper to the shopkeeper of the teahouse.

"Okay~ Okay, I've rewarded you."

When the shopkeeper of the teahouse heard this, he immediately laughed happily, took out five copper plates and gave them to the newsboy.

"Thank you~Thank you~"

The newsboy took the reward, hurriedly thanked him, and left the teahouse and continued to shout in the street.

The owner of the teahouse took the newspaper and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more energetic he became.

"Lao Zhao, what did the newspaper say?"

"Read it to everyone."

There are regular customers who come often, and they are very curious and say to the shopkeeper of the teahouse.

"OK~"

The owner of the teahouse has a very good service attitude, and the guests have needs, so he also picked up the newspaper and began to read.

"On July 18 of the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the Tartar soldiers were divided into two routes to commit my Ming ......"

As the shopkeeper read the newspaper, the guests in the teahouse also became quiet and listened quietly.

"These hateful Tartars~ dare to repeatedly offend my Daming, thinking back to the time when I became an ancestor, my Daming army killed seven in and seven out on the grassland, and the grassland wolves surrendered, I don't want to now, it is actually to let the Tartars burn and loot in my Daming, I am really angry."

"Yes~ It would be nice if there was a general like Li Guang, and it would be called Hu Ma Du Yin Mountain."

"Good~ The mountain battalion is brave and can easily sweep away the Tusi rebellion in the southwest."

As the shopkeeper of the teahouse read the newspaper, the people of the entire teahouse followed the mobilization of emotions, and when they encountered angry things, they couldn't help but slap the table one after another.

"Boss, have you finished reading?"

"No, there's a lot more to come."

"Then another pot of tea, and then a plate of dim sum~ After listening to this newspaper, I will leave."

"Me too, Xiao Er, bring me another pot of tea, and a few more side dishes."

The newspaper immediately attracted the attention of these guests in the teahouse, and some of them who were about to get up and leave, hearing that the newspaper had not been read, they were not in a hurry to leave, and ordered a pot of tea and a few side dishes again, ready to finish listening to the newspaper before leaving.

And some of them are in a hurry to leave, but they come to the street, looking for the figure of the newsboy who has just sold the newspaper, and want to buy a newspaper and read it slowly after returning.

"Sold newspapers~Sold newspapers~"

The figures of newsboys walking in the streets and alleys of the capital have added something new to this increasingly noisy capital.

The sales of the morning newspaper were very good, and in less than an hour, the newsboys had sold out all the newspapers in their hands.

Then one by one, while happily walking to the Ming Morning News, they were also silently calculating how much reward they had received this morning, and from time to time they touched the copper coins in their arms, and the whole person was excited.

More than 5,000 newspapers were thrown into the capital, a large city with a population of one million, and although the number was small and somewhat insignificant, it was a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.

Soon, the whole capital knew about the newspaper at once.

In the restaurants, teahouses, restaurants, and other places in the capital, everyone is discussing the newspaper, discussing the content of the newspaper, discussing national events, and discussing the strange things published in the newspaper.

This is the first time that people have access to information from the outside world in this way.

In this era of poor information and poor transportation, even these ordinary people in the capital can still understand very little information, and it is only limited to the surrounding area.

Of course, the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven after all, and many times you can still know some things from all over the Ming Dynasty, but it is also limited to word of mouth.

Now it's different, the Ming Morning Post lets everyone know about the national events of the Ming Dynasty in the form of a newspaper, and learns about some strange things that have never been heard of before, which is very novel.

Naturally, it immediately attracted the attention of the old and young masters in the entire capital, people all like gossip, they all love gossip, and they are also full of interest in all kinds of new things.

"Who has a newspaper~Who has a newspaper, borrow it and take a look~"

A lot of people who don't get a newspaper are looking around for someone to borrow a newspaper, to see what the newspaper is really like, to see what the newspaper is about.

As for those who were lucky enough to buy the newspaper, they were very leisurely drinking tea while crossing their legs and slowly reading the contents of the newspaper.

Or a group of people around him, under the anxious eyes of everyone, urging, slowly began to read the contents of the newspaper to everyone.

Literate people are a little better, they can see the content of the newspaper, but it doesn't matter if they are illiterate, anyway, someone will read it out, read it out, as long as you listen carefully, the content on the newspaper is basically written in the vernacular, just like everyone usually speaks.

When they heard someone reading the newspaper, they listened carefully and carefully, and then quickly spread the news in the newspaper.

"The Tartars are detained again, burning, killing and looting in Gansu and Shaanxi, I heard that many people have died~"

"The Tusi in the southwest rebelled again, but was put down by the mountain battalions."

"Do you know that scumbag who has been famous in the capital recently?"

"It's the Wang Enyi who lost all his property in a few months, the one who was thrown out of the casino last time."

"I heard that his father deposited 300,000 taels of silver for him to the Daming First Bank before he died, with an interest of 7% a year, and he can receive more than 20,000 taels of silver from the Daming First Bank every year, and after expiration, he can also return the principal of 300,000 taels of silver at one time."

"There is such a thing?"

"It's fake, this deposit has interest, I'm afraid I won't even swallow your 300,000 silver."

"Where is this fake, the First Bank of Daming is Liu Zhuangyuan's industry, I heard that the major shareholders are still the son and the prince of today, they will swallow your money?"

"And this Wang Enyi has already received the first interest from the bank, and he has more than 3,000 taels of silver in just two months, more than 3,000 taels of silver, enough for you to eat for a lifetime."

"Is there really interest on depositing money into the First Bank of Daming?"

"This is still fake, Wang Enyi has already said that there is really interest, I heard that his prodigal son turned back, and he bought his ancestral house back immediately after getting the interest, it can't be fake."

"Money makes money, this silver is useless at home, and it can make money when you save it, I am ready to deposit ten taels of silver in the family, and this year, there is also an interest rate of hundreds of yuan, and a few hundred yuan can buy a lot of things."

"I'll go too~I'll go too~"

"I didn't know before, I thought it was fake, but now that I think about it, it's really stupid, if we have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver stored in the first bank of Daming, we can eat it lying down in the future."

"The interest of tens of thousands of taels of silver a year can't be spent enough."

"Not really, but we won't make much money in our lives, so let's stop daydreaming."
