"Hey, uncle, you're here."
"Xu Lang ......"
Seeing Xu Changqing coming, Liu Ru and Gu Hengbo hurriedly greeted him, and many account gentlemen also hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"Hehe, you don't have to be restrained, everyone is busy."
After appeasing Mr. Accounts, Xu Changqing's face turned a little cold, and he said to Liu Rus: "How did you do it?" Don't eat after this order? ”
Liu Rufang's heart suddenly warmed, but she didn't dare to show too much, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Uncle, the main thing is that there are a lot of newcomers who arrived today, so ......"
Seeing that Xu Changqing seemed to be angry, Gu Hengbo hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Xu Changqing's arm and said, "Changqing, you haven't eaten it either, it's just right, I'll let someone arrange it immediately." ”
Gu Hengbo spoke, and Xu Changqing didn't have to act any longer, but he still said solemnly: "Things are important, but the body is even more important." Sister Mei, you have all memorized for me, no matter how busy you are at work, you must eat on time. Also, prepare some good food for the gentlemen, and don't neglect them. ”
Xu Changqing came over, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Liu Ru and Gu Hengbo greeted the gentlemen of the accounting room after being busy, and then came to the VIP room with Xu Changqing.
These delicate women were really hungry, and most of them were solved not long after the dishes were served.
Xu Changqing only learned after asking that they hadn't even come to eat lunch......
However, he had already been angry just now, and Xu Changqing could only glare at them fiercely.
After eating and drinking, Liu Ru also began to report the current state to Xu Changqing in detail, "Uncle, now we have more than 3,000 Qing officials in our hands, according to this situation, I'm afraid 5,000 people can't stop." Even Qinglou from Fuzhou and Guangzhou came to participate in the ......"
Liu said, both proud and helpless.
There are too many people, how can this be compared?
But the momentum has come out, and you can't suppress it yourself.
You must know that if this thing is not done well, it will be small to lose her face Liu Ruye, but it will be big to lose Xu Changqing's face.
Even though Liu Ru was already very close to Xu Changqing, it was difficult for him to bear this price.
Xu Changqing was also a little speechless.
No wonder the sage said: "Lust also!" ”
Daming's entertainment industry is really too developed......
But think about it the other way around, in this era, there are no other entertainment projects, everyone must always have a pursuit, right?
According to Xu Changqing's previous plan, the Oiran Contest will definitely end before mid-August, because at that time Xu Changqing will win and prepare for the new emperor's accession to the throne and the big wedding with Zhu Yujiao.
The current number of participants can be ...... It's good to be busy in October, but it's definitely not going to work!
After thinking for a while, Xu Changqing said: "Let's start the audition in advance!" Brush down some Qing officials who are too low. Besides, don't you all have some good seedlings in your hands? You can build their momentum first. Also, use your relationship well, find some masters, and help them write a word and a song, so that the talented people have a hope. ”
The girls were a little speechless for a moment, and looked at Xu Changqing one by one, just like a female goblin seeing Tang Seng meat.
If it is about writing lyrics and songs, who else can be more efficient and have a higher level than Xu Changqing in front of him?
Xu Changqing soon found out that something was wrong, and hurriedly coughed a few times: "The matter is so decided, by the way, I suddenly remembered that I still have some things tonight, and you guys should go home early to rest." ”
After speaking, Xu Changqing hurriedly slipped away.
"Huh? Xu Lang, wait, the matter is not finished yet. ”
When Xu Changqing's shadow disappeared, the girls reacted, and they suddenly became coquettish.
……
"Wrap 100,000 yuan around your waist and ride a crane down to Yangzhou!"
Although Haicheng is not as prosperous as Yangzhou City at this time, the atmosphere and openness, especially the thriving vitality, are not inferior to Yangzhou City in its heyday.
These days, with the arrival of countless beauties, there are also a lot of scholars and talents.
Just as Du Mu famously said: "Ten years to sleep Yangzhou dream, win the Qinglou Bo Xing name." ”
The base number of Ming scholars is quite large.
Not to mention anything else, take Shandong as an example, even if it is a not very prosperous place like Denglai, it is normal to show talents and raise people, and it is normal to have more than 100 people, not to mention those who have not yet obtained fame.
However, there are very few people who can successfully go ashore, be named on the gold list, and really enter the ranks, and they are even more intense than the civil service examinations in later generations.
And the scholars are not all from good families and poor. There are also a lot of dicks.
The rich boy came to see the excitement, brush up on his reputation, and even hug a beauty, dick. The silk people took this opportunity to travel and increase their knowledge, and at the same time make a word and make a tune, which subsidized the family and expanded their fame.
Xu Changqing's seemingly casual decision-making has fully formed a scale at this time.
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers. The "Haicheng Morning Post", which has two big money, has astronomy, geography, the latest news of Haicheng, and the general trend of the world. ”
Near noon, a new issue of the Haicheng Morning Post was released.
The streets were full of boys and girls selling newspapers.
Girls are the majority.
There are even a lot of little girls who are very good-looking.
No way.
The population structure of Haicheng at this time, there are many boys and girls, yin and yang, and these non-pure manual work naturally require more women to do it.
At this time, the circulation of the Haicheng Morning Post had already exceeded the 5,000 mark, and today it has printed more than 8,000 copies, which is for these talented scholars.
"Hey, girl, come, give me a copy."
Outside the door of a restaurant not far from Haicheng Hotel, several scholars were drinking tea and chatting on the second floor, and when they saw the little girl selling newspapers coming, they hurriedly went downstairs.
They have been waiting here for a long time.
The leader is a white-clothed boy, with red lips and white teeth, born to be a handsome man, and his clothes are also extremely good, all of them are silky, in later generations, this is at least the level of Armani and Prada, which has already shown that his identity is extraordinary.
He didn't just give the little girl money for the newspaper, but also gave a reward of more than a dozen big dollars, and asked, "Girl, what's going on today, why is the newspaper so slow?" ”
The little girl smiled sweetly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Son, there seems to be the latest major news today, so it's slow." Just look at the newspapers. ”
Seeing the little girl bouncing away, the boy in white hurriedly walked upstairs.
Someone couldn't wait any longer, and hurriedly said: "Brother Fan, quick, let's take a look, what's going on in Haicheng today?" ”
This white-clothed boy is none other than Fan Yongdou's 'nephew', Fan Ziyu, a Xibei who dresses as a man.
And around her, all of them are fellow villagers who have gathered from all over the world these days. Silk is the majority, but the strength is very good.
That is, it is chaotic now, and there is no imperial examination, otherwise I am afraid that a few of them will be able to be named on the gold list.
Fan Ziyu likes to come into contact with these pure scholars, and is busy spreading out the newspaper on the table for everyone to read together.
"A new agreement with the Manchus? What are you doing, it's still the same old, it's not interesting. ”
"Da Shunguo has recruited 3,000 new soldiers? What is this trying to do, is there another war? ”
"Hey, no, the headlines are here. My God, now, there are more than 3,000 Qing officials who have entered Haicheng? ”
"Isn't it? This is to catch all the beauties in the world......"
After a few days, these scholars had already adapted to the "Haicheng Morning Post", and they kept shouting and reading what they saw.
Some of the poor scholars around who couldn't afford to buy newspapers pricked up their ears and looked at this side with their eyes open, and got the latest news through them.
Fan Ziyu read the newspaper very quickly, and after reading the content in it in a short time, he gave up his position, so that these poor villagers could read it more realistically.
When he came to the side of the building and looked at the magnificent Haicheng Hotel, Fan Ziyu also sighed a little for a while, and muttered in his heart: "Xu Changqing, this guy is really a genius." This Oiran selection contest was originally just a trivial matter, but it was successfully controlled by him, and now, it can already lead the direction of the world! ”
Almost thinking with her not very full chest, she can also know that even if these Qing officials can't enter the 'top ten', as long as they can enter the 'top 100', or even the 'thousand', it will be enough to be of infinite use for a lifetime.
At this time, someone laughed: "Colleagues, colleagues, the first audition will be held in the hall of the Splendid Pavilion tonight, and the tickets only cost two big money, do you want to go?" ”
"Where, where? Why didn't I see that? ”
"Didn't I tell you about it here? Read the newspaper carefully! The important information of the Haicheng Morning Post will be left in the bottom corner. ”
"Haha, Uncle Zhongyi is really a hero! It's only two big bucks! This is for the sake of us poor scholars. ”
"Uncle Loyalty, Mighty ......"
In the noise, Fan Ziyu shook his head and smiled.
She had already seen tonight's tickets, but she didn't say it in a hurry, and sure enough, as she thought, inadvertently, Xu Changqing earned enough popularity again.
Fan Ziyu suddenly found that staying in Haicheng like this didn't seem to be too bad......
……
Half an hour later, on another street not far from this restaurant, Wu Meicun and Mao Bijiang had already received the latest news from the headquarters of the "Haicheng Morning Post" that today's 8,000 copies of the "Haicheng Morning Post" had been sold out.
"Haha, eight thousand copies. Brother Umemura, we have created a miracle! Perhaps, it won't be long before our "Haicheng Morning Post" can really make a profit! ”
The joyful hand dancing of the frontier cannot describe the excitement in my heart at this time.
"Haicheng Morning Post" is simply his child, pulling a handful of and urine until now, finally, she has grown up and has become the most influential thing in Haicheng, and it is still spreading rapidly.
Even, Mao Bijiang heard that on the Qingzhou side, Hengwangfu sent people to wait every day, just to send the "Haicheng Morning Post" to Qingzhou.
Wu Meicun was also indescribably excited at this time, as if her heart was about to jump out, but she said on her face: "Where is this going, Brother Mao, Uncle trusts us so much, we have to reach Uncle's trust, there is still a long way to go!" ”
“#¥%! ~”
Looking at Wu Meicun's bird's fetus, Mao Bijiang really wanted to give him an ear scraper, this guy is too capable of pretending.
However, he was still in the same boat with Wu Meicun at this time, and "Haicheng Morning Post" was his hard work, and he didn't bother to worry about anything with Wu Meicun.
……
Not long after, the news of "Haicheng Morning Post" also reached Xu Changqing's side, and Xu Changqing's spirit was also lifted when he heard this.
In later generations, a newspaper with a circulation of 8,000 copies will not hit the streets before it is called a ghost.
However, at this point it is definitely dominant.
It must be known that although Haicheng has a population of nearly one million, most of them are women, and if you get rid of illiterate men, how many people will really have purchasing power?
Not to mention, in order to save money, many people pool their money to buy a newspaper, and everyone takes turns reading it.
The success of the "Haicheng Morning Post" also means the success of the Oiran Competition, not surprisingly, the first selection held in the Splendid Pavilion tonight has already affected the entire Haicheng, including countless eyes in many areas behind him!
However, just as Xu Changqing stretched out comfortably and was about to order a bag of cigarettes to rest, the soldiers outside the door suddenly reported: "Marshal, Liu Ru is Liu, everyone is here." ”
"Huh?"
"it!"
Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and hurriedly lay down, "Tell her that I fell asleep and let her come back another day." ”
