Chapter 305: The Power of Pictures

The newspaper was printed, and this time Zhang Ming went to the printing house to take a look.

"Yes, yes, the lines are clear, thank you guys."

Zhang Ming came to check the quality of the painting, and the effect was really good.

"Tens of thousands of copies will be printed this time."

Under Zhang Ming's order, the printing house worked overtime, and the printing house printed 300,000 copies this time.

Today, the price of the newspaper has been much lower, at 11 copper coins each.

Expectedly, there is still room for decline.

The reason for the decline is that when making paper, workers are becoming more and more skilled, and various processes are being optimized, and costs are slowly saved.

At least, it won't waste so many raw materials, and the efficiency will be improved, so the price will naturally come down.

As for the ink, it is also the technology provided by Zhang Ming, and the price is slowly decreasing.

The other thing is that sales have been propped up.

Zhang Ming took the initiative to reduce the price, and more and more people bought it.

Because they found that they could make money by buying the newspaper, at least for writing, which was much cheaper than buying blank paper.

Using a newspaper to write calligraphy is not just right, and it can be reused.

Of course, more people buy it back and collect it, and some even take it back to make teaching materials.

Newspapers were printed and sent to various places before dawn.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers..."

"To find out what Cao Cao did to Xuzhou, please see today's newspaper."

"Tao Qian is incompetent, and tens of thousands of people have fled."

"The governor has made another decision to make every effort to resettle the displaced people..."

Many places that sell newspapers suddenly became popular.

Many people have become accustomed to the habit of reading the newspaper every day.

So, as soon as the newspaper went on the market, many people started buying it.

"Hey, it's only 11 copper coins today."

"Hurry up and get a copy, what's new today."

"How is the battle in Xuzhou..."

"Give it to me..."

Newspapers spread out in fast channels.

The people of Youzhou got the newspaper very early and began to read it.

"Cao Cao, this city has been plagued."

"There are so many barren mounds, I don't know how many people have died."

"Holy damn."

"The people are miserable."

"This good village is in ruins."

"I'm in Qingzhou's village, so it's probably similar to this, but fortunately, my family came to Youzhou."

"Damn..."

Today's newspapers have also given the people a huge shock.

In this newspaper, those pictures seem to awaken the memories of many people.

Many of them have had similar experiences with these paintings.

These paintings, which are very realistic, are all drawn on the spot.

Many people, looking at these paintings, want to cry because they have experienced something similar.

"These people are going to take it."

"They're so pathetic, like we were a few years ago."

"Hey, in this world, is there only one place in Youzhou where people can live?"

"Tao Qian is incompetent, Tao Qian is incompetent."

"Cao Cao is brutal..."

"Dong Zhuo is alive..."

This newspaper, as Zhang Ming expected, was very popular.

It's not just a hit, this once again ignited the emotions of the people.

Many crusaded against Cao Cao.

Many people shouted in the streets, and many literati gathered.

Cao Cao must be ready to endure another wave of infamy.

Zhang Ming knew that the meaning of this time was different, and he also made an advertisement in the back of the newspaper.

Yes, Zhang Ming has now been advertising one after another, and at the same time, he has also begun to attract investment, and he also has to help others advertise, as long as he can afford it.

This time the advertisement is an advertisement for recruitment, and at the same time, Zhang Ming plans to start the imperial examination next year.

Zhang Ming planned to launch an additional newspaper to introduce the content of the imperial examination.

The imperial examination is divided into new-style education and old-style education, and the new-style education is for all schools in Youzhou, and they can only participate in the new-style education.

The old-fashioned education is to test the Four Books and Five Classics plus strategy questions and answers, etc., for other students.

"The role of this newspaper will become bigger and bigger, and you should be prepared to withstand wave after wave of storms."

The response of the newspaper was fed back to Zhang Ming, and he was very satisfied.

When Yuan Shao and Cao Cao saw the newspaper, they were also very shocked.

This newspaper can even print pictures.

This picture doesn't need much explanation, even illiterate people can understand it.

This was more transmissible, which made Cao Cao panic.

At this time, Cao Cao had already led his troops not far from Xiapi City, and he would be able to attack Xiapi City immediately.

He called Cheng Yu to discuss with Guo Jia.

"Lord, you can't delay any longer, you should attack immediately."

Cheng Yu saw this issue of the newspaper, and the content on this picture was completely accusing Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was at a loss for words, and the war must be ended as soon as possible.

"Zhongde, how is the newspaper thing going?"

"There has been progress, and it is not so easy to print according to the movable type obtained from Youzhou, and it will take us seven days to print one issue, and the price will be more than 100 at the beginning."

"Print, it can't be delayed anymore."

Cao Cao decided to start attacking the next day, he couldn't afford to wait.

Sure enough, after the newspaper arrived in Xuzhou, I don't know how many people in the city cried when they read it.

They were in the middle of it, and they were even more panicked.

At this time, inside Yanzhou, many people saw the newspaper.

Some people in Yanzhou took the opportunity to revolt and wanted to oppose Cao Cao.

Fortunately, the soldiers did not see it, but there were also rumors spreading in the army, and morale was a little unstable.

Inside Yanzhou, the people were silent, and they felt that Cao Cao was wrong.

Cao Cao sensed that something was wrong.

If Zhang Ming continues to publish newspapers, it will be unfavorable to him again, and I am afraid it will be difficult to do so in the future.

For example, wherever he wants to attack in the future, he will be fully resisted by the soldiers and civilians there.

Attack tomorrow.

Cao Cao ordered the camp to be pulled out and approached Xiapi City.

The next day, Cao Cao appeared outside the city of Xiapi.

Cao Jun is here, and this Tao Qian knows that he can't hide.

"Duke Xuande, please guard the city gate and don't let Cao Jun take the opportunity to attack it."

This Tao Qian took people out to ask Cao Cao for his guilt, was willing to commit suicide, and asked Cao Cao to retire.

Where is Cao Cao willing, he has hit here at this time, and he sees that the whole of Xuzhou is his own.

Cao Cao refused and asked Tao Qian to go back and wait for death.

After Tao Qian returned, Cao Cao began to attack.

The two sides fought hotly, and Zhang Ming was also busy recruiting homeless people.

As soon as the newspaper came out, the impact was even greater, and there were more displaced people.

Zhang Ming is also busier.

A large number of displaced people were sent over.

"Lord, our tent is in an emergency, and the displaced people who have come here have no place to live for the time being."

"My lord, some grain and grass can't be transported."

"Lord, there is not enough firewood for cooking now."

"My lord..."

Tens of thousands of displaced people have arrived in Youzhou, and Zhang Ming has been dealing with it.

"Mobilize the army, mobilize the people, and let some of the displaced people live in the people's homes first."

"In addition, send 10,000 troops to find a place to establish a few villages and let these displaced people station."

At this time, Zhang Ming had already brought back 170,000 displaced people from Xuzhou.

More than 100,000 people, which is not a small number, and the number is still increasing.

"This Cao Cao and Tao Qian are two simple people, they are completely fighting for Lao Tzu, you have to fight for another half a year, Lao Tzu can get him hundreds of thousands of people."

Although Zhang Ming was a little busy, he was very proud.
