Chapter 314: Blind Newspaper
The noise behind him faded away. Anyway, it's over, it's nothing for Xiao Jing to go down earlier, what's the matter with Pan Feiyu's support.
What Xiao Jing didn't know was that Shao Ning, who was still smiling just now, grinned at the back of the audience who threw eggs at him after the show, and anger flashed on his face.
After struggling for a long time, he resisted the urge to run to the stage to find someone to settle accounts. After sighing silently, he slowly walked to the backstage, repeating a sentence he heard from Xiao Jing at some point as he walked: "Xiao Jing, brother, I can only help you get here!" ”
After the dance performance, He Wan'er, who once again attracted much attention and made almost all the audience shed tears of sympathy, also stopped on the stage for a long time. It wasn't until Xiao Jing's figure completely disappeared from view that she bit her lip and left.
She really wanted to know, did she look like Sister Cher just now?
The place where Xiao Jing is going is not far from the place where the performance will be. After about a meal, he came to a very humble workshop. Gently slammed the door, and immediately a simple middle-aged man opened the courtyard door and grinned and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth: "The owner! ”
Xiao Jing let out an "um". Seeing him enter the courtyard, all the craftsmen who were busy with their work stood up, and he just said, "You guys are busy first, don't worry about me, I'm just here to see." ”
So, the crowd began to work again. The yard was filled with the "clatter" and "click" of carved and polished wood, and sawdust was everywhere, making it difficult for people to find a place to put their feet.
Xiao Jing, who was called the "owner", didn't care at all. He was constantly on the move, and when he saw something that didn't meet the requirements, he would go and negotiate it himself, no exceptions.
"Why should the proprietor be so anxious?" The middle-aged man in charge smiled and said, "The skilled craftsmen in the town are all here, but I haven't seen what the owner said before, and it's inevitable that there will be a mistake once in a while......"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jing interrupted him: "Master Yu, I know that it is a bit difficult for a strong person to suddenly find such a job for you, but I have no choice but to do so." In this way, as long as these people can do what I want with the quality and quantity as required, then I will add 20% of the reward after the deed is completed. How is it? ”
Master Yu, who was embarrassed, pondered for a long time, and finally nodded.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the time soon comes to the third day.
Today is the day of the Mirror release. People who have long been accustomed to buying newspapers from various purchasing outlets are surprised to find that the newspaper sellers have once again taken to the streets!
Not only that, but the number of newsboys, who are an important retail channel, has also increased a lot. However, instead of only selling newspapers as before, they came forward when they saw acquaintances, and mysteriously advertised something called "blind newspapers".
What's that?
Many longtime readers were immediately curious. That curiosity was soon dispelled: when they saw a cart of planks with various bumps drawn by the newspaper's hired men, they all went up to watch it, and then lost interest in the blind newspaper.
People who can read a newspaper are literate, so how can they bother to touch around a wooden board? Besides, although the blind newspaper is a novelty, its weight and volume are so daunting that ordinary people have to consider how to store it when they bring it home, and its value as a medium is probably not as high as that of firewood. If so, why bother?
Moreover, the newspaper seller said that a blind newspaper sold for 500 yuan. The vast majority of people who are interested in trying it out are frightened by this price: the mirror newspaper is only a few pennies, who would spend so much more to read a blind newspaper with similar articles?
Therefore, except for a few sons who really have too much money to spend and a few collectors who paid for it, the rest of the people chose to stay away.
The sales channel can't be opened, but the people in the mirror are not in a hurry or annoyed. After creating a buzz in the city, the group worked tirelessly to drive around the city before starting the real journey according to a mysterious list.
Outside the Song State Mansion.
"This group of people is really not afraid of making trouble for Lao Tzu." The impatient porter said angrily: "I actually left my things and left, what is this place in the country?" ”
Just now, a newspaper seller left a sentence and said goodbye with a smile. The porter came out and looked, and sure enough, there was a cart parked in the corner he said.
The man said that if the people in the palace were willing to accept the gift, they would take it away; If you don't want it, just throw it there, and someone will pick it up in the evening.
The porter reluctantly walked over and took a look. He is also a literate and clever person, so he picked up the letter under the tarpaulin and read two sentences, then his eyes rolled and his eyebrows were happy, and he hurriedly ran into the house to call someone.
The same is true in the palace of the Ministry of Works.
He has long been a fan of the Mirror. When he returned home from his official duties, he heard that someone had sent a gift, so he followed his subordinates to a secret place. After picking up the things in the car and looking at them for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh: "Although this gift is not worth much, it is very heavy!" ”
Not only the rich family, but also some poor families in the capital also received the same gifts, but they were borrowed, after all, the place at home is small, it is difficult to pile up so many sundries, and some people recycle it to avoid worries.
Xiao Jing, who was sitting in Puhua Town, listened to the reports of people from all walks of life, and his tightly knit brows gradually relaxed.
The promotion of blind newspapers has been very smooth. Most of the targets accepted the planks sent by the newspaper, and even some of the old diehards who didn't like the mirror newspaper didn't refuse.
This is thanks to Xiao Jing's arrangement.
In this age of lack of relevant scientific knowledge, various disabilities are generally linked to factors such as karma. Therefore, having a blind person in the family is a very private and embarrassing thing for those who are high-profile, and how easy is it to let people accept blind newspapers?
In view of this, Xiao Jing asked the newspaper delivery person to change the blind newspaper to an ordinary board car outside the city. It was covered with cloth, and no one could tell what was inside; Even the person in charge of the delivery has changed, and the car is parked in an inconspicuous place, no one will associate the blind newspaper with these people's homes.
The so-called blind newspaper is actually Xiao Jing's processing of the braille and pinyin of later generations according to his own needs, and then introduced them to the Darui Dynasty. In those days, there were no decent materials and craftsmanship, and he could only use the most time-consuming and laborious but only feasible method: carving it out little by little with wooden boards!
It took a lot of effort for half a month to get these thirty copies. Counting the pinyin instructions that come with the blind newspaper, the newspaper has spent a lot of money this time.
