Before I knew it, more than two months had passed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today is the day of the release of the ninth issue of the Mirror. In the past, Xiao Jing only had to sell out for a short time, and the newspaper would be sold out; Today, he stood on the street for about two minutes before he sold out a truckload of newspapers.

It's not that the appeal of the mirror newspaper has decreased or that fewer people have come to buy the newspaper. The only reason why it takes so long is that the number of newspapers in Xiao Jing's hands has greatly increased!

Previously, he alone brought up to four hundred newspapers; Today, he alone sold two thousand copies, so today he is accompanied by a cart, not a trolley.

All this is thanks to Zhang Laohan.

After getting a large amount of money from Xiao Jing, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the construction of the printing workshop. Regardless of his age, he worked tirelessly every day to run around, and finally found a suitable yard for opening a workshop between Changwu Town and Puhua Town.

Seeing Zhang Laohan working so hard for his own affairs, Xiao Jing was very reluctant to go, so he moved the idea of "leaving him some industry". After all, his family does not have his skills, and if they only rely on farming in the future, they will be just an ordinary family with more than enough food and clothing and a well-off life.

So, when buying the property, Xiao Jing persuaded Zhang Laohan to put this mansion in his own name.

However, the stubborn Zhang Laohan refused to say anything. Xiao Jing was in a hurry, and he just blew his beard and glared: "The little old man's family has received a great favor from the son, and they have not yet repaid it in case." What does Childe mean by this? Could it be that you look down on me? Don't mention this again! ”

As a result, Xiao Jing has another house under his name.

After cleaning up for a while, Zhang Laohan used his connections to find craftsmen to make molds for pottery movable type and newspaper layouts; There were many people who did not have a job in the market, so he recruited four clever young men as apprentices and taught them the art of movable type printing as quickly as possible.

In order to present more content, the font size on newspapers is smaller than that of a regular book; In addition to normal text, there are many blocks that often use very large or very small fonts.

So, it took a little more time to make the movable type. At the end of last month, the first trial prints of the newspaper were released. Although the quality of the printing has decreased, the speed of printing has increased dramatically: even by apprentices who are not yet skilled, nearly 1,000 copies can be printed every day.

If we recruit more people in the future, the production capacity will be very considerable.

With his own workshop, Xiao Jing did not stop moving forward. He specially took out one hundred taels from the 1,500 taels and paid it to Yawentang's shopkeeper Yu, and agreed: In the future, Yawentang will help Xiao Jing print 500 copies of each issue of the Mirror Newspaper. The price of each printing, including paper, ink, paste, and labor, is about two taels; It is to print 50 issues in a row with Yawen Hall, and then see the after-effects.

For the shopkeeper Yu, this is a profitable business. The amount of work involved in printing newspapers is not large, and apart from the time-consuming typesetting, everything else is almost negligible. The movable type in the workshop is also ready-made, and it is better to use it than to pile up dust. Xiao Jing paid the printing fee first, and whether the newspaper could be sold or not had nothing to do with Yawentang's half a dime, and he, the shopkeeper, didn't have to worry about it at all.

Xiao Jing still remembers the day when the business was negotiated, and the shopkeeper Yu smiled like a blessing from heaven: "If the prince is sent, just open his mouth." In addition to printing classics, the bookstore of the small shop does not have too many chores, even if the son wants to print 1,000 or 2,000 copies a day, it is a trivial matter. ”

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Xiao Jing's tired face. The newspaper is finally on the right track, and everything is developing according to his expectations. The only thing that is troubling is that there are so few editors and reporters on the team.

The printing capacity is sufficient. And the editorial staff...... Hey, except for the addition of a new Su Yuxian, there is no other progress.

However, the front page of today's issue of the newspaper also released heavy news: from now on, the mirror newspaper will be changed to a three-day issue!

Even if it is a half-month issue like now, Shao Ning is complaining that he is about to die of exhaustion. Although Pan Feiyu didn't say anything, his resentful little eyes had already said everything.

Xiao Jing also knows that everyone is under a lot of pressure. However, at this juncture where he needed to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle, he had no choice.

"I also said that I haven't seen anyone at this point, it turns out that Xiao Gongzi is here to start." Someone said a few steps away from him: "I see you laughing and frowning for a while, but is there anything bothering?" ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly raised his head. Standing in front of him was a handsome boy who was as rich as jade, it was Qin Ziqian, who was dressed as a man.

"Miss Qin." Xiao Jing smiled and said, "I'm thinking about something to make you laugh." ”

After that, he took out two newspapers from his backpack and said with a smile: "This is for you and Miss Xia, please accept it." ”

After the first issue of the newspaper was published, Xiao Jing, as the president and editor-in-chief, had a part-time job as a "newspaper delivery person". Every time the newspaper is released, he will sneak to the vicinity of Xia Mansion and wait for the opportunity to deliver the newspaper to Xia Hanxue. Coincidentally, Qin Ziqian has a great interest in the Mirror News. Since she knew that Xiao Jing would come every time, she didn't rush to buy newspapers, but walked around her home every time. Anyway, someone will send it.

It's just pity for Xiao Jing. He has come so many times, just to see Miss Xia's face; However, every time I see it, it's a different person! Although Qin Ziqian, who is also naturally beautiful, is not inferior to Xia Hanxue at all, the two are not the same style after all, and she is not the little fairy who has already quietly entered Xiao Jing's heart.

It's the same today. He looked behind Qin Ziqian, and then let out a long sigh of disappointment.

Qin Ziqian glanced at Xiao Jing's depressed appearance and quipped, "Why did Xiao Gongzi sigh like this?" Every time my cousin and I get a different newspaper, we are so favored, even if someone wants to sigh, it should be someone Qin. ”

Xiao Jing, who didn't want to continue talking about this, smiled bitterly and shook his head. As if to divert the topic, he suddenly said with a straight face: "I have something important to discuss with Miss Qin, can you talk in a different place?" ”

Qin Ziqian glanced sideways at the Xia Mansion not far from the street, and said with a smile: "It's hard to come out, Qin doesn't want to go back so early." Since the son is invited, how about you and I find a place to eat and talk? ”

Xiao Jing made a "please" gesture. After strolling into the distance for a while, I saw a restaurant full of guests, very lively. Qin Ziqian wanted to find out, but was called back by Xiao Jing, and finally the two of them entered the hotel next to it that looked a little deserted.

When the listless Xiao Er walked away with his head down, Qin Ziqian asked in a low voice, "Why don't you go to the restaurant opposite?" ”

Xiao Jing smiled slightly. Propaganda and non-propaganda are just so much different.

The lively restaurant is the Shao family's property in the city. The reason why I chose the one that no one has is because its dishes are not necessarily worse than those of the Shao family, and it can be clean, so why not?

After a few casual words, he brushed the matter aside. After chatting for a while, Xiao Jing said: "Miss Qin is a cheerful person, and she went straight to the bottom of the knife. Are you interested in becoming a reporter at my newspaper? ”
