After taking over the task of engaging in propaganda, Mao Yulong hurriedly rushed to his newspaper with the military intelligence information he got from the eunuchs guarding the town.

The second brother, Wang Zuoren, was busy in the newspaper hall.

Now Wang Zuoren's original printing office has been renamed Sanyi Newspaper Museum, and because of its unique technology, it has defeated countless imitation peers. After this short period of six months of operation, the scale of the printing house was expanded, and the sales of newspapers expanded to 50,000 copies per day.

But in the past two days, business has dropped a lot, because of the chaos in the city, and everyone has no leisure to buy newspapers. Business is light, but people are busier, the reason is that the Japanese invaded this time, whether Hangzhou City can be defended, and whether it can be held up, everyone is panicked. Wang Zuoren also has to plan for the worst, and at the same time, there are already dozens of people under his hands, plus those newsboys must be placed as much as possible, so they have to eat, in this area, Wang Zuoren is willing to lose money, and it is precisely because of his practice that he has won the hearts of the vast majority of people and laid the foundation for future development.

When Mao Yulong came in, Wang Zuoren, who had a black and gray face, took a few steps forward and grabbed his hand: "I heard that you were recruited by the garrison to help Father Zhao, so I didn't have a chance to see you, so I sent someone to your house to have a look, and as a result, San'er took care of your neighbors well, and I was relieved." ”

Being reminded like this, Mao Yulong remembered that he hadn't been home for several days, and he didn't know how worried his mother was about him.

"This time, I was ordered by the town guard to arrange a newspaper mission for us."

"The town guard arranges the task of our newspaper? How much? Wang Zuoren was not happy because he got the job, but was a little sad.

Mao Yulong reported the number: "100,000 copies a day will be distributed to millions of people in Hangzhou for free." ”

"So much, this is going to ruin the family, brother, you're going to kill me."

Mao Yulong was puzzled and asked: "Why did I take such a big job for us, why did this make us bankrupt?" ”

Wang Zuoren complained bitterly: "My brother, if you are smart, you are smart in your head, and you don't know anything about the world." When was the government paid for the work? It's all for us, even if we give money, it's only symbolic, it's a loss, and now we're finished. But looking at Mao Yulong, he gritted his teeth and said: "The town guard sends you a job, which proves that the town guard is optimistic about you." Once you enter his eyes, brother, you can soar, that's it, for the sake of your brother's future, we will take this job, even if the family is bankrupt. ”

Mao Yulong understood, and only then did he remember that the official mansion of the Ming Palace has always been used externally, which is called joint buying, and at most half of the price will be given to you, so as to give you a good reputation, which is called internal for the royal use. But a good reputation is not suitable for food, so all shops and factories have to move up and down every year when they issue internal offerings or buy together, not to get this good name, but for fear of getting this good name.

And the government's forced labor is even more life-threatening, not only in vain, but also to bring their own food, if there is wear and tear, the people have to pay out of their own pockets. Even if there is no loss, the officials who receive the goods will convert the shortfall and let the people make up for it. Therefore, as long as you get involved in the errand of the government, you are already doomed to bankruptcy.

Knowing this, Mao Yulong took out four ingots of silver in his entrainment like a trick: "Second brother, this time it is a task under the eunuch of the town, 100,000 copies, 400 taels, this is the first pen, one edition size, one copy of four texts, one edition per day, 400 taels each time, is this still bankrupt?" ”

Wang Zuoren was taken aback at the time: "Is this really the case?" Isn't it for nothing? ”

"The silver is here, the serious official silver, the approval slip of the town guard is here, absolutely no one dares to withhold it."

Wang Zuoren calculated: "If it's just the size of a edition, the cost is only one penny, and 100,000 copies are only one hundred taels, now is an extraordinary period, we can't do anything else, but I am also patriotic, so I will charge the cost, and it will be decided." ”

When Zhao Yuliang, the eunuch on duty, heard this, he sighed at the time: "It is said that there is no business and no treachery, but Boss Wang has such a patriotic heart and has lived up to the love of the town guard. ”

Wang Zuoren did not stop him, firstly, he could please the guards, and secondly, this shift also had merit, is this the best of both worlds.

"Who supplies the manuscript and what content do you want?"

"The purpose of issuing this kind of extra number is to give full play to the advantages of our newspaper's wide publicity, so that the rumors flying all over the sky can be self-defeating, and the people can get the real news at any time. At the same time, it is necessary to set up several models and establish them as heroes. Therefore, the exact military situation will be provided by Jinyi Wei Qianhu. Set up a model, and I will personally handle it. This battle has been brought, and I'm starting to write a heroic model now. We must be quick, try to come out in the afternoon, and then let all the newsboys go to work and distribute them everywhere, first suppress this rumor, and then arouse everyone's passion. ”

Wang Zuoren said that he would do it, and immediately mobilized all the manpower, and all the fifteen printing machines were started.

Mao Yulong was in the newspaper hall, sitting there and thinking for a while, the tall image of a hero jumped on the paper.

Yang Kuang, recruited as a civilian, and then invited himself out of the city to guard the barracks, his father and son went to the battlefield together, and swore at the gate of the city that there was only one family who died in battle, and there were no three generations who escaped.

With a wave of the beam, a tall, correct, brave hero is freshly baked.

And Zhao Yuliang also worked hard to write, he was responsible for the propaganda of officials, and if the town guard and command were determined, he was simply the Zhuge of the world. Jinyiwei is brave, goes out of the city to spy on the enemy, and is simply a heroic scout in later generations. Dongchang abides by the law and strictly investigates the people who dare to be greedy for donations. As for the merits of other officials, it is that the Spring and Autumn period is unknown.

After the manuscript is written, it is typeset and printed immediately.

And the hundreds of newsboys who urgently greeted back had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and a batch of them came out, and immediately packed bags and ran into the market: "Outside the number, the government will issue the number for free, and report in detail the latest real battle situation in Hangzhou, and the latest army signing arrangements." ”

The immature voice sounded crisply in the inner and outer cities of Hangzhou.

Countless citizens surrounded the newsboy to scramble for the newspaper, looking for the content they cared about the most, and Luoyang paper was expensive for a while. Ah, yes, it's free, but the paper workshops in Hangzhou are really in short supply.

The results were immediate, and the people not only got the latest war situation and the latest military transfer arrangements, but also saw that heroic role models have emerged one after another. While everyone was excited, the rumors were self-defeating, and the people not only felt at ease, but also knew the truth of defending the city. So one by one, the feelings of the group were high, and the father sent his son to the battlefield, and the wife sent her husband to fight the East, and spontaneously launched the action of learning from the hero and paying tribute to the hero, Yang Kuang's home was almost squeezed out by all the people who worshiped the hero.

The situation is very good, it is very good, which makes the town guards who listened to Mao Yulong and Zhao Yuliang's report very gratified: "This newspaper is worth 100,000 soldiers, I really didn't mistake your original decision." As for Boss Wang's deeds, I will definitely report the nine thousand years old, report to the emperor, and give Yu a commendation, at the very least, a plaque written by Long Live himself can't run. ”

The town guard was happy, everyone was happy, so Mao Yulong took the opportunity to ask for a look. As a result, before he could open his mouth, a brocade-clothed guard patrolling the outside of the city rushed in with blood all over his body: "Report - 40,000 Japanese robbers have been killed, and they have already left the city for three miles." ”

Yes, the holiday was canceled, I couldn't go, and the big war began.
