[Busy, may resume normal updates next month]

In a teahouse in Yunhua City, a young man dressed as a junior hurriedly ran into the teahouse with a roll of things.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the newspaper has been bought." The young man who ran into the teahouse gasped.

As soon as the young man's voice fell, someone in the teahouse shouted first: "Xiao Er, come over and give Ben Gongzi a newspaper." ”

"Xiao Er gave me a newspaper." "My son also wants a copy." ”……

Looking at everyone's eager eyes, Xiao Er was accustomed to it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment, the villain is coming." As he spoke, Xiao Er walked towards the guest who needed the newspaper recently, and in the process of walking, he took out a copy of the thick roll of newspaper in his hand, and in front of the guest, a newspaper was delivered to the guest.

After the guest took the newspaper, he couldn't wait to open the newspaper and open it, and as for the newspaper money, he would settle the bill together when he was about to leave the teahouse.

After a while, Xiao Er handed out most of the newspapers in his hand to the guests in the teahouse who needed newspapers, although there were still a lot of newspapers left in his hands, but there was no need to worry, and the guests who entered the teahouse would definitely need newspapers.

I saw that most of the guests in the teahouse were almost in the same state at this time, they all opened the newspaper and opened the news in the newspaper, some guests drank tea and ate snacks while reading the newspaper, and a few guests discussed with each other while reading the newspaper, and the teahouse was very lively.

"Hey, the empire has started to recruit soldiers again, last year the empire recruited 80,000 soldiers, and this year it has doubled the number of recruits by 160,000, the empire is going to fight abroad?"

"It must be to fight abroad, the emperor Wen Tao is strategic, the people of Great Qin are rich and the country is strong, and he should follow the example of Emperor Wu (referring to Wuyang, the founding emperor of the Shengwu Dynasty) to conquer the world."

"Alas, I have also wanted to join the army and serve the country many times, but unfortunately I do not meet the requirements for joining the army."

……

"Look at this, look at this, the Bright Sect attacked the army of the Shengwu Dynasty and the alliance of the three kingdoms of Ji Luo and Zhao, won a big victory, and killed countless enemies."

"This Bright Sect is really powerful, it set off storms in the Guannei at the beginning, and even the destruction of the country in the previous dynasty has a lot to do with the Bright Sect, but I didn't expect that now the Bright Sect is resurrecting in the Great Liang Empire, not only occupying a large area of land in the Great Liang Empire, but also defeating the army of the Holy Martial Dynasty and the alliance of the Three Kingdoms of Ji Luo Zhao."

"That makes sense, but the Illuminati have to deal with so many countries, I'm afraid the final result will be the same as it was at the beginning."

……

"The state of Chu is in danger, I didn't expect the Dayue Empire to be so strong, even if Anguo and Chu are united, they can't resist the troops of the Dayue Empire, the Dayue Empire's step-by-step encroachment plan is simply hitting the key point of the Chu State, if it continues like this, the Chu State will inevitably perish, the Chu State will be destroyed, and the Anguo will be even more unsustainable."

"The Tang Empire is fighting endlessly, the Shengwu Dynasty wants to make a move against the Bright Sect, the Great Yue Empire is much easier, and it is a good opportunity for our Great Qin Empire to send a large army to attack the Chu State."

……

On the first day of February in the 11th year of the Qin calendar, following the will of the emperor Yunyi of the Great Qin Empire, the inaugural issue of the Great Qin Imperial Newspaper was issued, mainly publishing domestic news, foreign news, literary masterpieces, current affairs commentary and other content.

After the first issue of the "Great Qin Imperial Daily" was first published in Yunhua City, it gained great influence, and countless people rushed to buy the "Great Qin Imperial Daily", and the newspaper urgently printed it.

"Daqin Imperial Daily" is the national newspaper of the Great Qin Empire, that is, distributed throughout the Great Qin Empire, limited by the traffic conditions of this era, "Daqin Imperial Daily" is a ten-day newspaper, that is, a newspaper is issued every ten (ten days), which is first published in Yunhua City, and then transported to Xinping City by train, and then sent from Xinping City to all parts of the country, so that within ten years, the newspaper can be sent to all areas except remote areas such as rural areas.

The price of a copy of the "Great Qin Imperial Daily" is not too high, only 30 copper, and even if the newspaper is purchased three times a month, it is less than one silver, which even a peasant who makes a living from farming can afford it.

Within ten years, a total of 430,000 copies were printed and distributed in the first issue of the Great Qin Imperial Daily, and after the second issue of the newspaper was issued, the number of copies printed and distributed was as high as 670,000 copies, and it was not until the fifth issue of the newspaper that the number of copies printed and distributed in the "Great Qin Imperial Daily" was relatively stable, and the number of copies printed in almost every issue was about 1.4 million.

The total population of the Great Qin Empire now is as high as 45.7 million, which is 7.6 million based on the calculation of six people in a family, and almost one out of every five households buys the "Great Qin Empire Daily".

It is not a strange thing to have this ratio, in ten years, the schools at all levels of the education system of the Great Qin Empire have spread all over the Great Qin Empire, hundreds of thousands of teenagers will enroll in school every year, and hundreds of thousands of students will graduate, in addition, the primary school teaches knowledge to the teenagers during the day, and at night, many adults accept the Empire's call to enter the primary school to read and write, the empire does not have too high requirements for them, only requiring them to be able to know most of the words, and to be able to do simple mathematical calculations.

In ten years, the illiteracy rate of the Great Qin Empire was declining rapidly, and in ten years, the common people lived a prosperous life.

In this case, people are starting to think about some entertainment life, but most people will not leave the land where they live, and how much entertainment life can there be.

With the advent of the "Great Qin Imperial Daily", which published various real-time news, people finally found a kind of entertainment life that they could enjoy without having to leave their homes, and literate people bought the "Great Qin Imperial Daily" one after another, wanting to see various national events.

In fact, the Great Qin Empire not only had a national newspaper such as the Great Qin Imperial Daily, but also a state newspaper in the states of the Great Qin Empire, which was a newspaper that recorded what happened in the state, and was also popular with the people of the states.

The emergence of newspapers has enriched the entertainment life of the common people, and at the same time, it has also allowed the common people to learn about some major events in the country and some major events in other countries.

There are even some storytellers in the teahouse who no longer make up the supernatural stories, but directly take out a newspaper to tell the guests about the things in the newspaper, perhaps because the storyteller is eloquent, some people who buy the newspaper also like to go to the teahouse to hear that the storyteller reads the newspaper, from time to time the storyteller will also send out his own indirect about the news, and the guests will also participate in the discussion, so lively.

On the other hand, it was the literati who liked to read the newspaper to learn about national affairs, and often three or five literati and writers gathered together to read the newspaper and discuss the news in the newspaper at the same time.

There are also many literati and writers who send their articles and poems to the newspaper office, hoping that their articles and poems will be published in the newspaper, and once they are successfully published, they will definitely become famous.

Newspapers have become an integral part of the Great Qin Empire.
