Chapter 349: Preparation of the Newspaper
Yan Ruyu smiled lightly and said, "I am the president of Yan Yue's Poetry Society, and now you want me to be the president of this newspaper?" Wouldn't you want to resign from the position of president of Yan Yue Poetry Society? ”
Zhou Jinyan values Yan Ruyu's fame, and fame can form a strong influence on the newspaper in the early stage.
"The president of the Yanyue Poetry Society, it's better to resign."
Zhou Jinyan snorted and suggested: "Come to me, you can go down in history in the future, and you can make a lot of money." is much more famous than the president of the poetry club of Nalaoshzi. ”
"Going down in history?"
Gao Yang became interested, "Brother Zhou, how can you go down in history?" ”
Zhou Jinyan said quite confidently: "Before, there were only 'Di Bao' and 'Jinjuan Yuan Bao', and this kind of official newspaper was considered a monopoly, and it was not very well founded. Once our newspaper is established, it will be the first civilian one, which is an unprecedented thing and will definitely be recorded in history. ”
"It seems to be true." Gao Yang was quite interested: "I also want to work in this newspaper." ”
Zhou Jinyan resisted the urge to vomit blood, "You, an unmarried princess, come to my newspaper office, it is estimated that Your Majesty will smash my newspaper office." ”
"Probably not."
Gao Yang still wanted to continue to quibble, "When the time comes, you run a people's newspaper, I will run an official newspaper, let's be more creative, a little larger, and rob the business of his official government, maybe in the future, my official newspaper will be the throat of the official government, and my father still needs me." ”
Zhou Jinyan nodded secretly, Gao Yang's thinking is still relatively advanced.
"Let's wait until my people's newspaper has a bit of scale."
Zhou Jinyan said: "Otherwise, you tell Your Majesty now that he asked the people from the official government to compete with me, and I can't compare with them." ”
What he caught was a typical civilian first effect, otherwise the government would come first, and he would have no business.
Or the effect will be much worse.
"I'll have to think about it."
Yan Ruyu was still unsure in the end.
"Whatever you want." Zhou Jinyan said with a smile: "I just came up with an idea, I will publish a newspaper myself in the near future, and show it to Sister Ruyu when the time comes, how effective it is." ”
Yan Ruyu didn't seem to care too much about the newspaper, and it didn't take long for her to talk to him about Qujiangchi.
Zhou Jinyan casually said a few perfunctory words, and Yan Ruyu hurriedly went home.
Didn't stay to eat.
After eating, Zhou Jinyan began to make newspapers.
Although Li Mengjiang found the newspaper interesting, he didn't take it to heart.
Therefore, when it comes to newspapers, Zhou Jinyan and Gao Yang are the two of them.
Gao Yang was in charge of drawing a model for him and measuring it with a ruler.
Zhou Jinyan held a brush and drew the size and typesetting.
Things look simple, but when it comes to typography, there are more things to consider.
After drawing for a while, Zhou Jinyan put down the brush and said: "According to the current font size, each newspaper can't write many words at all." ”
"Do you still need illustrations?" Gao Yang asked.
Zhou Jinyan couldn't cry or laugh, "There are still illustrations, I can't write many words, there is no content, send pictures to others?" ”
"You can carve the mold a little smaller." Gao Yang said, "In the early stage, a short film and a short story are the mainstay, and the pictures are slowly added in the later stage. ”
Zhou Jinyan glanced at him approvingly, "This is not a small story, it is just some news that happens in Chang'an every day." ”
"What's the news?"
"To put it simply, it's just something that just happened." Zhou Jinyan said: "Let's write him down and add it to the newspaper." Chang'an's 100 surnames can be seen. ”
"What happened, is it now found to be written?"
"Naturally not, the newspaper that is usually issued is written the news of the previous day."
Gao Yang was thoughtful.
Zhou Jinyan said: "You help me continue to formulate the layout, remember that there must be special civil news, official news, as well as special literati and rioters, and some miscellaneous news, all of which can be formulated." ”
"Isn't it too miscellaneous?"
Gao Yang understood quickly, "It's better to divide the whole into several sections, exactly four major layouts, and then subdivide them under these pages." ”
Zhou Jinyan's eyes lit up, "Okay, Gao Yang, you can think of this, you continue to think about this, help me plan and plan, I will let people carve small character models, the handwriting on the book is still too big." ”
Back in the front yard, Zhou Jinyan found Ah Qi, Ah Qi was the only one among the ten people who had read a book, and his brain was relatively flexible.
"Lang Jun, you look for me."
"Yes, let you do something for me."
"Lang Jun, you say. I'll do it for you. Ah Qi patted his chest and promised.
"It's not a big deal."
Zhou Jinyan said: "You go outside to find me some readers, remember, they are some people who have strong writing skills and can have special views on current things every day." ”
After a pause, he said again: "Recruit them to work in my Zhou Mansion, including food and accommodation, and the monthly salary is ten yuan a month, and there is a bonus at the end of the month and the end of the year, and the monthly salary will be added according to the performance." ”
Ah Qi said dumbfoundedly: "What is this?" Why do you want so many monthly salaries? ”
"I'm going to start a newspaper, I don't want to find readers, especially those who are very poor readers, you can try it, as long as you can write and speak, you will find hot things in Chang'an, and I will recruit them back."
"How much do you need?" Ah Qi is still confused.
"Twenty people tentatively."
Zhou Jinyan thought about it in his heart, and the twenty people were divided into two batches. One group writes on the same day, one group goes to interviews, and the next day, the interviewers write, and those who have written continue to interview, in turn.
Otherwise, interviewing on the same day, writing on the same day, and publishing on the same day, even the machine can't turn around.
"So many people."
Ah Qi smacked his tongue and muttered, "Must be able to speak?" ”
"It doesn't matter what you can say," Zhou Jinyan advised: "The main thing is to be able to write, to be able to write a small thing vividly and interestingly, and it must be a hot thing in Chang'an, which also has to be investigated by themselves, if they can't do these two points, will they say that it is useful?" ”
"If you can't find anyone, you just put the news out and let them apply."
After Ah Qi left, Zhou Jinyan found Gao Jianping.
"Pony, are you looking for me?" Gao Jianping has been very leisurely recently.
As one of the two current housekeepers of the Zhou Mansion, he only needs to patrol and patrol every day, and he doesn't have to worry about anything, which is very comfortable.
"You send someone to inform the shops in each square. Ask them to develop a model for me in small print, half the size of a book's font. “
After a pause, Zhou Jinyan said: "Anything that can be developed within five days and is of good quality will be rewarded with 100 yuan." The reward for ten days is fifty strokes. Remember, it's a set, and a lot of fonts have to be used. ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll send someone to command." Gao Jianping squinted his eyes and read the latest chapter of "Mixed in the Tang Dynasty as a Horse Paw Book House" for free for the first time.
