Chapter 398, what kind of drafts are they?
Because the Daming Morning Post is about to be issued, for a period of time, Liu Jin has been going to the Hanlin Academy every day to order a Mao and then directly flash people to the Daming Morning Post.
"Childe, this is the first issue of the Ming Morning Post that we have set, please take a look."
Bao Jiwen and Ou Yangguang are the editors-in-chief, and as soon as Liu Jin came, the two of them also showed Liu Jin the manuscript that had already been typeset and finalized, so that Liu Jin could review and check it.
"Well, thank you guys."
Liu Jin nodded with a smile and looked carefully.
"The Tartars detain the customs, and the soldiers commit Gansu and Shaanxi."
The most conspicuous, the top is naturally a national event, this is the Ming Morning Post side of the special person to connect with the imperial court, so the above is written in Chinese, very brief.
"In the future, all the drafts of major national events can be published in an official official format, but they must be explained in detail in the vernacular, so that more people can understand them."
Liu Jin looked at classical Chinese, the whole person was big for a while, he had also studied classical Chinese, although he relied on the system to cheat in the exam, but he still understood somewhat, but it still looked like he still had a headache.
So after thinking about it, I also instructed Bao Jiwen and Ou Yangguang that things related to national affairs naturally can't be easily changed, nor can they be easily commented on, just need to report this matter in detail.
"Yes~ I'll let people change it."
Bao Jiwen and Ou Yangguang looked at each other, nodded and said quickly.
"Southwest Tusi Miru rebellion, mountain construction contributions~"
"This is the same, as long as it is published in classical Chinese in the future, it must be explained in vernacular below, and in addition to the major events of the imperial court, all other news and news will be published in vernacular."
Seeing the second press release, Liu Jin also nodded, there is no problem with this arrangement and layout, and national events are put in front.
"Yes~"
Bao Jiwen and Ou Yangguang nodded hurriedly, although they didn't quite understand why Liu Jin, a scholar, respected vernacular Chinese so much, isn't this good in classical Chinese?
The language of classical Chinese is concise, the text is beautiful, and writing a beautiful article can definitely be passed down through the ages, and this vernacular text can be passed down through the ages?
But who calls Liu Jin the boss, what Liu Jin says, what they do, 10 silver dollars a month, plus other benefits, etc., this is much better than teaching and selling words.
"Poor students, the dynasty is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in Tianzitang~"
"What the hell is this?"
When he turned to the third article, Liu Jin frowned suddenly, and looked at this manuscript carefully, which is about a scholar who grew up in a poor family, was raised by his mother, studied hard, and once won the first place, and glorified his ancestors.
"This kind of thing is rotten on the street, what is worth putting on the morning newspaper to report, we Ming Morning Post, it is a place to report news, not a place to use this kind of bad street story."
"It's~ This kind of publication is not allowed in the future."
Liu Jin directly put this manuscript aside, are there still few stories about readers in this era?
What rich lady fell in love with the poor scholar, the poor scholar was admitted to the champion with the support of the rich lady, and came back to greet the rich lady.
What other poor scholars have been looked down upon by their relatives since they were children, all kinds of difficulties, all kinds of targets, and finally the poor scholars were admitted to the top and slapped those relatives in the face and the like.
In short, there are very, very many stories of all kinds, and the most important thing in this era is the story about the readers, which is enough to show the status of the readers in this era, especially those who can be admitted to the giants and jinshi, that is definitely the carp jumping over the dragon gate and soaring into the sky.
But Liu Jin's Daming Morning Post is not for the sake of propaganda for these readers, scholars, etc., the Daming Morning Post is to serve itself and the emerging capital of the Ming Dynasty, and everything to be publicized and reported should revolve around this point.
"Yes~Yes~"
Bao Jiwen and Ou Yangguang wiped the sweat on their foreheads slightly, thinking that this manuscript written based on Liu Jin would definitely be able to win Liu Jin's appreciation and like, who knew that Liu Jin would actually say that it was a story about a bad street, and it would not be allowed to be published in the future.
"What the hell is this?"
"How can the Oiran Contest in this Qinglou Chu Pavilion be published in our Ming Morning Post?"
"Withdraw, the affairs of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion will not be allowed to be published in the future."
Liu Jin continued to look at it, except for the first two drafts on national events that Liu Jin felt okay, none of the later drafts made Liu Jin feel okay.
Basically, they all wrote manuscripts around what scholars, readers, and what Qinglou Chu Pavilion and the like, but Bao Jiwen and Ou Yangguang both sent out these manuscripts.
Liu Jin couldn't help but shake his head, Bao Jiwen and Ou Yangguang are still traditional readers, things about readers are all big things, they are all things worth reporting, this reader, in addition to poetry and songs, is the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, since ancient times, these readers are also proud to visit the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and they all hope to be able to pass on some ancient stories and the like.
In this era, it is still them, the scholars, who have the final say, because they have status, power, and money, so they feel that the Ming Morning Post should report these things.
So much so that the selected manuscripts basically revolve around these things, but this is definitely not what Liu Jin wants.
"Withdrawn~"
"No~"
Reading one manuscript after another, Liu Jin's face turned iron-blue, what kind of manuscript is it, Liu Jin is happier even if he sees the manuscript about reporting the sow on the tree than when he sees these manuscripts.
A huge amount of sweat continued to break out on the foreheads of Bao Jiwen and Ouyang Wen, and the manuscripts selected by several of them did not satisfy Liu Jin, and their absolutely good manuscripts were not even good when they arrived at Liu Jin.
"Tianjin Port Captures a Giant Whale~"
"This manuscript is well written, and it can be passed."
Seeing the end, Liu Jin saw a manuscript reporting that a giant whale was caught by a whaling ship in Tianjin port here in Tianjin, which made Liu Jin nod with satisfaction.
The manuscript is written in the vernacular, and the writing is very ordinary, but it can be regarded as a detailed report on what happened here in Tianjin Port a few days ago.
Reporting on whaling is also quite helpful for the development of the whaling industry, and it can be regarded as promoting the whaling industry, which is in line with Liu Jin's requirements.
"Is there a spare manuscript, bring it to me and take a look~"
looked at the manuscripts on the table, and the manuscripts to be published had been read, but Liu Jin was only satisfied with three articles, and all the others were replaced by Liu Jin.
"Yes~Yes~"
Bao Jiwen hurriedly said, and then hurriedly asked people to take out more press releases, and also deleted the drafts that Liu Jin had explained in advance.
"The prodigal son will not change his money, Wang Enyi's life will change dramatically?"
Liu Jin picked up the new manuscript and looked at it carefully, and soon saw the manuscript submitted by Luo Dong.
"Well, this manuscript is very well written, it should be published in a conspicuous position, arranged in a good space, and persuaded people not to gamble, which is very educational."
After reading it carefully, Liu Jin smiled happily, this manuscript definitely met his own requirements, reported an incident, and publicized the deposit business of Daming First Bank through this matter.
"Yes~Yes~"
When Bao Jiwen and Ou Yangguang heard this, they quickly nodded and replied.
Liu Jin read the manuscripts very quickly, and personally set all the drafts for the first issue of the Ming Morning Post, except for the first two articles to promote national events, all the other drafts are also related to some industries under Liu Jin's command.
"That's all for the draft, hurry up and do it, don't delay the release of July 21."
After choosing the draft, Liu Jin instructed Bao Jiwen and Ou Yangguang.
"Yes~"
Bao Jiwen and Ou Yangguang hurriedly got busy.
Liu Jin looked at the figures of the two of them, and then thought about the drafts they selected, and couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking in his heart that he would have to replace them in the future.
These people's ideological concepts have been deeply rooted, it is difficult to have a breakthrough, they are very busy, it is impossible to say that every issue of the Ming Morning Post is personally checked and reviewed, and in the end, it is better to choose a person who can meet their own requirements to manage this Ming Morning Post.
"Go and call Zhang Xian over."
After thinking about it, Liu Jin instructed again, Zhang Xian is the daily manager of the Ming Morning Post, of course, he is not in charge of the press release, he is mainly responsible for the printing and distribution of the newspaper.
Liu Jin knows very well that Bao Jiwen and Ou Yangguang are capable, and letting them be the editor-in-chief and the like makes him so dissatisfied, if he really wants them to manage all the things in the Ming Morning News, it is estimated that he will have to sleep here every day in the future.
Therefore, in terms of the printing and distribution of newspapers, he still arranged for people he trained to come over, and this Zhang Xian used to be a senior manager of the Tianjin Cement Factory.
"Childe~"
Soon, Zhang Xian came to Liu Jin.
"How do you plan to promote this Ming Morning Post?"
Liu Jin nodded, thought about it and said to Zhang Xian.
"Childe, I plan to do so, in the first few issues I plan to distribute all of them for free in restaurants and teahouses in Beijing and Tianjin, so as to cultivate everyone's habit of reading newspapers, and when it comes to the future, I will sell them again, and I am going to build several special sales points in Beijing and Tianjin to sell newspapers."
When Zhang Xian heard this, he thought about it and told his plan.
"It's free in the early stage, and it's sold at a sales point in the later stage~"
Liu Jin also nodded after hearing this, after all, he was the one he brought out, and this idea and thinking are still very good.
"We don't have to build this point of sale, we recruit some children in every city, these children call them newsboys, and let them help us sell newspapers."
After thinking about it, Liu Jin also said the thoughts of the future generations of newsboys, and at the same time, he couldn't help but imagine in his mind that in the future, a city in the Ming Dynasty would hear the shouts of newsboys selling newspapers.
