Gan Qi was preparing to open a newspaper, firing more movable type, asking for printing craftsmen everywhere, and looking for a stable supply of paper and ink.

As soon as the days were mixed, it was the day of the roll call outside the Donghua Gate.

On this day, it is not only the literati who are excited, but also the big families in Bianliang City, but all the daughters in the family who are waiting for the boudoir will definitely rush to wait outside the Donghua Gate, waiting for these future pillars of the court.

Gan Qi also arrived outside the Donghua Gate early, which is a city gate in the east of the imperial city, and it was already crowded, waiting for the moment when the city gate opened.

There are too many people, and Gan Qi is too lazy to squeeze into the crowd, which is why some people on the list will be called loudly. Because there are too many people, they are all crowded here, and there are more people watching the excitement than the real candidates, and there are more relatives and friends of the candidates than the candidates. Most of the candidates can't squeeze in at all, if no one shouts out the names on the list, then these candidates will really have a headache, and I don't know if they can squeeze in front of the head to take a look.

In fact, many people who were crowded in front of the head came to squat last night to guard, why are these people more enthusiastic than those candidates who look at the list? Because some people are still waiting to make money today, and when they get their names to report the good news, they will have a lot of money from the officials.

Gan Qi, Su Shi, Su Zhe, and Wu Chengwu stood outside the crowd, just waiting for the people inside to roll call.

Wu Chengwu was already so nervous that he was pacing left and right, but Su Shi was smiling.

For some reason, Gan Qi found Gan Zheng not far from his side. Gan Qi already suspected that Gan had come to find himself on purpose, to be by his side.

This kind of mentality, Gan Qi can actually understand, Gan Zheng is holding back his strength and waiting to get ahead in front of Gan Qi, raising his eyebrows, this is obsession, Gan Zheng seems to be waiting for Gan Qi's envious and jealous eyes.

Even Gan Zheng is waiting for that moment, Gan Qi will take the initiative to come forward and say something flattering, whether Gan Zheng will show off his might or be a gentleman, he has not decided himself.

Gan Qi in Gan Zheng's heart is just a prankster who clings to the threshold of the powerful, and in addition, there is also a vassal elegance who is shameless. So Gan Qi is like this, Gan is expected to come up to please himself in high school.

So Gan is looking forward to it, waiting, waiting for the moment of roll call, waiting for someone to shout the name of Bianliang Gan Zheng Gan.

"Zizhan, Ziyou, I'm going to set up a Beijing Times, and I want to invite you to help me with one or two." While the list had not yet been posted, Gan Qi got down to business.

"Beijing Times? What is it? Su Shi asked.

"It's something like the Imperial Court Newspaper, which is printed every once in a while, and it contains some current events, articles, reviews, opinions, entertainment, and other things, and sells them in the city of Tokyo." Gan Qi said that the Di newspaper is actually the official newspaper of the imperial court, which has been around since the Han Dynasty.

However, there is a great difference between the Di Bao and the newspaper that Gan Qi wants to run, in fact, the Di Bao is mainly issued by the imperial court to the officials of various yamen institutions, which mainly records some recent policies of the imperial court, major events in the country, or teaches officials to be diligent in government and love the people.

Ganch's newspaper, then it really is a newspaper. There are even advertisements prepared, such as football game advertisements and reports.

"Oh, on sale? Can this make money? "Whatever Gan Qi does, Su Shi feels that Gan Qi wants to make money.

Gan Qi shook his head: "I can't make much money, and I may lose money." ”

Gan Qi's words are true, the price of paper and ink in this era is expensive, but printing books can make money, and the price of a book is not expensive. But it is difficult to make money on the price of printing newspapers, and if you can't sell newspapers to the price of books, then who will buy them? Even if someone could buy it, how many copies would they sell?

Therefore, in order to sell widely, the price of the newspaper will definitely not be high, and it will even have to be sold at a loss, and as for advertising revenue, it is not yet known what the future holds. So it's possible to make money and lose money, but Ganchi doesn't care, because he can afford to lose.

In ancient China, in fact, the literacy rate was very low, and in the countryside, a large village of several hundred people, I am afraid that the number of literate people could not exceed the number of a dozen or twenty. The literacy rate in the city is much higher, and many large families can recognize many common words, at least the words on the street plaques.

Bianliang City can be regarded as an exception, because the main group living here is the reader, and the secondary group is also the group that provides services for the reader, and serving the reader can also promote the literacy needs of many service providers.

In Bianliang City, there are still basic people who run newspapers and periodicals.

Su Shi heard Gan Qi say that he was going to lose money, his face was incredulous, and he asked, "Dao Jian, do you also do things that lose money?" ”

"Yes, what I have is money, and I am not afraid of losing. I am only willing to serve the public and act for the country, even if I lose my family's funds, I will not frown. Gan Qi said awe-inspiringly. It's just that Gan Qi's family background, if he wants to lose money in the Great Song Dynasty, it is really not a simple matter.

Su Shi and Su Zhe glanced at each other, shook their heads at each other, and Su Shi said again: "I've tried hard to convince myself, but I can't believe it." How can you trade at a loss? ”

"I want to make a life for the people, for heaven and earth, for the afterlife, for the ......" Gan Qi seemed to give a speech, pouring out his great ideal.

"Gotta get it, stop, I believe it, I believe it, don't you believe it?" Su Shi stepped out to stop him, saying the letter in his mouth, but his face was full of disbelief.

"Well, do you want to help one or two, write more articles, and I'll publish them for you for free and spread them all over the world." Gan Qi said it very righteously.

"Okay, yes, if you really print the Times, I'll give you a contribution, and you can't take money from me." Su Shi always felt that something was wrong, and I don't know how Su Shi would feel if he knew that he would charge a manuscript fee for contributing to the newspaper.

"Whoever of us is with whom, we will never charge you money, we will help you spread the article for free, and if there is anything at that time, I will ask you to write some comments and so on." Gan Qi patted his chest and said.

But at this time, there was a sudden crowd of people in front of the head, and everyone squeezed forward.

Someone else shouted: "The emperor list is out, the emperor list is out." ”

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze......"

"Oops, where's my shoes?"

"Who the is stepping on me."

On the contrary, those candidates who are really waiting for the list do not go forward to squeeze forward, which is insulting.

Most of the small servants who came to occupy their positions last night were men who worked in the building, knew some words, and were very familiar with those literati who usually liked to go in and out of the building tiles, and they had been waiting for three years to make a small fortune this time.

The emperor list is still being posted, and these little guys probe their brains to look for it, see a few names they know, and rush out, earning the good news reward money for the first-hand news.

Not long after, before the roll call began, there was already a sound of good news from the crowd.

"Liu Gongzi, you have been hit, the villain saw it with his own eyes, the third list was born in the same jinshi, and he was ranked ninety-sixth."

"Really? You read that right? Did you really see it with your own eyes? ”

"Seriously, Liu Gang and Liu Dezheng in Hejian, although the villain doesn't read much, how can these words be mistaken? Ninety-six. ”

Liu Gongzi was already jumping three feet high, and said incoherently: "Good, good, reward, reward......"

The little guy bowed down, held his hands, and waited for the reward, at this time, how could anyone be stingy? You're going to be an official, and you still care about this little money?

Gan Qi also looked at the excitement and thought it was interesting, and turned back to look at Su Shi: "Zizhan, why didn't anyone give you good news?" ”

"Xu can't be hit." Su Shi said with a smile. In fact, the reason is known, that is, there are not many Bianliang guys who know Su Shi.

But he saw a small guy running in front of Gan Zheng not far away, and said hello while making a gesture: "Gan Gongzi, you have also been selected, the second list of Jinshi was born, and he ranked forty-sixth." ”

Hearing this, Gan Zheng took a deep breath, raised his hand and patted his chest repeatedly, and asked in an octave voice: "Really?" But really? ”

"Really, Bianliang is Ganzheng, the word Gan and the word are so simple, how can the villain admit his mistake? Where is there a second one named Gan Zheng in Bianliang? ”

At this moment, Gan Zheng's body suddenly felt a kind of lightness, as if flying to the clouds, his arms were open, as if he was caressing the softness of the clouds, his brain was congested, and he was a little dreamlike, and he inadvertently slowly turned around, and then jumped up, waving his arms.

"I got it, I really got it, I ...... I...... I ......" has an incoherent one.

The little guy had been waiting for a long time, and he was a little anxious, because he still had to go to report the good news to other people, and if he was late, he was afraid that someone would be the first to arrive, so he held it with both hands and urged in his mouth: "Gan Gongzi, Gan Gongzi...... You see...... The small ones are squeezed around, and it takes a lot of effort......"

Gan Zheng looked at the appearance of the little girl, put his hand into his arms, took out a small bag, and without looking at it, he threw the money bag directly on the palm of the little girl's hand.

The little guy went away happily.

Gan Zheng, who was still above the clouds at the moment, even looked at Gan Qi again.

The voices of congratulations and congratulations from the left and right immediately followed one after another.

Gan Zheng responded to other people's congratulations, while going to see Gan Qi again and again, but saw that Gan Qi did not look at him, and was still laughing and talking with the people next to him, Gan Zheng thought that Gan Qi did not hear that he was on the list, and said loudly left and right: "Fan Lou tonight, if you don't get drunk and don't return, I Gan Zheng thank you brothers, it's a fluke to be on the emperor list, thank you again." ”

After speaking, Gan Zheng looked at Gan Qi again, and Gan Qi at this moment really looked over here.
