Chapter 130: The Thriving Datang Newspaper
Li Yu sneered and said, "Sister Yuanniang, didn't I just come back a few days ago?" There were too many things in the palace, and it was delayed for a while. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info I have a fate to meet today, how about Sister Yuan Niang go back to the palace with me? ”
"Brother Yu warmly invited, but I was disrespectful!" Yang Yuanniang smiled even more, causing Li Cailing beside her to glance at the two of them.
Li Yu and his entourage, Yang Yuanniang and Li Cailing walked and chatted in the Xinxiang Hall and talked about the newspaper.
Yang Yuanniang picked up the newspaper in her hand and asked Li Yu with a smile: "Brother Yu, this royal weekly must be your idea, right?" ”
"Who else could have thought of such an unprecedented act except his little confused head?" Li Cailing glanced at Li Yu, presumably still worried about the act of being too intimate with Li Yu just now, which made Li Yu depressed.
I didn't let you touch my head!
"Hmm!" was provoked by Li Cailing, Li Yu had to nod.
Yang Yuanniang stroked her hair and smiled: "After reading the Royal Weekly, Sister Cai Ling and I have an idea, learn from Brother Yu's Royal Weekly to create a newspaper, and I want to ask Brother Yu for advice." ”
"Just the two of you? Starting a newspaper can only take some talented people. ”
"Of course it's more than that!" Li Cailing glanced at Li Yu, "Didn't Sister Yuan and I form a poetry club with some sisters, and invite them to start a newspaper together." I even thought about the name, so I founded "Xiaoxiang Newspaper" in the name of our poetry club. When the newspaper has established a newspaper, the poems written by the sisters of our poetry club can be published in the newspaper and distributed throughout the world every time they meet. Maybe next year, my sister, my poem will be famous in the Tang Dynasty! ”
Li Yu scoffed at Li Cailing's self-satisfied longing, and it doesn't cost money to run a newspaper to publish a newspaper? If you want to make the newspaper's newspaper popular, it is not enough to have less circulation per issue, but if you have more circulation, the content will not be attractive and cannot be sold, but it will not kill you. Even if your sisters in the poetry club are all wealthy and noble, rich and capricious, but supporting a newspaper that has been losing money for a long time can make you vomit blood.
Yang Yuanniang didn't think that a newspaper was easy to run like Li Cailing, so she carefully asked Li Yu for advice on the newspaper's business charter and the formulation of a newspaper template.
Because Yang Yuanniang's plan to run the "Xiaoxiang Newspaper" is to publish poems written by the sisters of the poetry club where she works, Li Yu is a little optimistic about the sales prospects of this newspaper.
Li Yu of Xiaoxiang Poetry Society has also been there, and dozens of poems made by dozens of little ladies gathered together, it would be good to have one or two poems that can be called masterpieces. How attractive can an eight-page newspaper be filled with poems that are mostly good?
In addition, those who can understand poetry are all scholars and wealthy women, these two types of people do not account for much of the population of Chang'an, and more are peddlers and pawns.
What's more, it is still a group of resentment poems made by a group of wealthy ladies who have nothing to do all day, and a longing poem full of thoughts about concubines.
Thinking about Li Yu, he feels unreliable, and it is estimated that those who are deeply resentful of women, and the little lady in the boudoir can buy and see it.
Leaving the Xinxiang Palace, Li Yu invited Li Cailing and Yang Yuanniang to talk about the two daughters in the house, and by the way, he gave Yang Yuanniang the charter for the establishment of newspapers and periodicals. He also made a suggestion that he could invite others to contribute to his poems, as in the case of the Royal Weekly, and select the best of them for publication, so that it would be beneficial to the development of the newspaper and periodical, so as not to be able to go out of business in the end.
On the second day, Yang Yuanniang and Li Cailing convened a group of sisters from the Xiaoxiang Poetry Society and announced the joint venture to establish the Xiaoxiang Newspaper.
A group of young and energetic young ladies were enthusiastic when they heard this, and they contributed money and suggestions.
The Royal Weekly opened yesterday, and the newspaper was selling well, and they all thought they had heard about it, and they sent someone to buy a copy of it. I didn't expect that there were sisters in the poetry club who would propose to start their own newspaper so quickly.
In the future, the poems written by the sisters of the poetry society will be published in the newspapers and magazines of the society, and it is no longer a group of sisters who are lonely and self-pity. Through the publication of newspapers, more people will appreciate their poems, and perhaps one day they will become famous all over the world when they write a good poem, on a par with the famous talents of ancient and modern times.
Some little ladies still have the idea of using poetry to attract love!
For the editor-in-chief and editor of the newspaper management, the little ladies jointly elected Yang Shiyan, Dai Nianxuan, Li Cailing, Xu Qian and other sisters to serve as editors, and Xiao Jinxuan, the leader of the poetry club, and Yang Yuanniang, the initiator, were the editors-in-chief and deputy editors-in-chief. The organizational structure of Xiaoxiang Newspaper was set up.
Li Yu, the many sisters of the Xiaoxiang Poetry Society, have known each other since they were children, and they are all beautiful little ladies in the circle of Chang'an elites.
In addition to the fact that it is difficult to determine the princess by her father and queen mother, maybe some of them will be Li Yu's Confucians in the future.
Li Yu, who was familiar with many sisters of the Xiaoxiang Poetry Society, was invited to help them establish the Xiaoxiang Newspaper.
As the founder of the Xiaoxiang Poetry Society, he also became the editor-in-chief of the Xiaoxiang Newspaper. Born in a noble family, the royal family of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, the younger brother of the former Empress Xiao of Sui, the granddaughter of Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song, and the sister of Xiao Shoudao, the current Duke of Song, Xiao Jinxuan generously used an idle garden in his house as a gathering of the poetry club as the station of Xiaoxiang Newspaper.
Under the siege of a group of delicate young women, Li Yu could not afford to provide paper and printing services to Xiaoxiang Newspaper at a 6% discount.
In the laughter and laughter after the little ladies succeeded, Li Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he persevered, otherwise he would have sold at a loss!
The Xiaoxiang newspaper opened in Chang'an just four days after the opening of the Royal Weekly, and the newspaper was full of poetry.
At the suggestion of Li Yu, Xiao Jinxuan and Yang Yuanniang selected the poems published and published them as the first issue of the newspaper, in order to open a good start.
As soon as the Xiaoxiang newspaper was launched, with the help of Li Yu, the newsboys roaming the streets and alleys, and newsstands everywhere vigorously publicized the news of the opening of the second newspaper in Chang'an, and quickly became famous.
Chang'an's literati and wealthy women gradually became a sensation, and they went to buy a Xiaoxiang newspaper to appreciate the artistic conception of the poems published. is full of praise for the poems of Xiao Jinxuan, Yang Shiyan, Yang Yuanniang, and Dai Nianxuan. Knowing that the author was a Chang'an lady, a group of literati asked around where he was, wanting to see his face.
Li Yu, who gathered at the Xiaoxiang Newspaper, and the little ladies of the Poetry Club were overjoyed when they heard that the newspaper was selling well, and the several poems published had a great impact.
Li Yu teased: "This time, you little ladies who are waiting for words, there are a lot of suitors!" ”
The attendant who was out to inquire about the news ran back and said: "Your Highness, ladies and gentlemen, a newspaper called "Wenjian" has also opened. ”
"Huh?" The women of the poetry club who were celebrating were shocked when they heard this.
"Did you buy a copy of their newspaper?" Li Cai said angrily.
The attendant had a flexible mind, so he bought one before he came to report it and handed it to Li Cailing.
Li Yu and the little ladies came up to see what kind of newspaper covered the famous Xiaoxiang newspaper.
The first page of Wenjian Bao published three fu, and the second published eight poems.
The content is similar to that of Xiaoxiang Daily, and there are three more articles than Xiaoxiang Daily, which is full of poems.
The little ladies who were originally unimpressed were shocked after reading the poems in the newspaper.
An article in the newspaper titled "Moss Fu" and three poems are definitely from the hands of great talents, look at their names.
Li Yu was shocked and said, "It's Yang Jiong!" "One of the four great talents of the early Tang Dynasty, he actually published his works in the newspaper.
"Who is Yang Jiong?" Li Cailing and the others obviously didn't know, and the women looked at Li Yu suspiciously.
Yang Jiong was still waiting to make the Hongwen Pavilion at this time, and his reputation was not obvious, and Li Cailing and other women did not know, but it was reasonable.
"Xianqing for four years, was raised as a prodigy, and waited for the Hongwen Museum!" Li Yu said.
After Li Yu finished speaking, the little ladies exclaimed, it turned out to be a prodigy ten years ago. Can be raised as a prodigy by the imperial court, is it an ordinary person? In the past ten years, I have been taught by famous teachers in Hongwenkan, so it is no wonder that I was able to write this masterpiece.
After learning of Yang Jiong's name, a group of young ladies in the poetry club were convinced, and they were quite unhappy, and the good situation was intercepted and killed.
Li Yu, who returned to the house, immediately sent someone to check the Wenjian Newspaper, and got the news that Yang Jiong and his friends Zhao Zong and Liu Sheng co-founded the newspaper.
Li Yu is embarrassed, it's only been a few days since I made a royal weekly, and awesome characters like Yang Jiong have come out to follow suit. It seems that the newspaper boom came much earlier than expected.
Soon after, a number of newspapers and periodicals, large and small, such as the "Chang'an Business" newspaper founded by businessmen and the "Chang'an Decade" newspaper that published interesting stories about the people of Chang'an, appeared one after another.
In less than half a year, more than a dozen newspapers in Chang'an opened, with Chang'an as the center, and gradually spread to the surrounding prosperous states and counties.
A picture of the thriving Datang newspaper industry is slowly opening!
The Xuanzhen view in Chang'an City, the new issue of the newspaper has a growing influence among the people, in order to spread Taoism and promote Taoism. Jointly founded "Taoism" with Xuandu Temple, Haotian Temple and other grand temples in Chang'an City to promote Taoism and attract believers.
The hosts of the Buddhist Dajianfu Temple and the Daci'en Temple, which competed with Taoism, saw that Taoism had founded newspapers to attract believers, and they were not willing to lag behind.
The two temples jointly founded the "Buddha Light" newspaper with more than a dozen major temples in Chang'an, such as Ximing Temple, Qinglong Temple, Cibei Temple, Chuguo Temple, Xingsheng Ni Temple, Chongfu Temple, Longxing Temple, Futian Temple, and Zishengni Temple.
Buddhism relies on the large number of monks and believers in the temple in Chang'an, and the funds are full, and the "Buddha's light" newspaper is a strong force to suppress the Taoist "Taoism" report, which makes the Taoist morale depressed.
Both sides deliberately wrote a few lines of poetry in a corner of their respective newspapers, satirizing each other and winning over believers.
When Li Yu bought the newspaper of the two religions, he saw that the two religions were competing in the newspaper, which was quite funny.
However, Li Yu also saw from it that Chang'an Buddhism was powerful, because Taoism was a native religion in China, and its root was the foundation of China. Li Yu immediately allocated a large amount of money from the government to fund Su Mingguan and several other small and medium-sized Taoist temples in Chang'an to establish the "Dengxian" newspaper to counter the influence of Buddhism.
