Chapter 167 - Co-optation of the Printing House
According to Liu Huayun's assumption, when telegraphs, telephones, and other communications mature, they can gradually expand their content and change from a semi-monthly magazine to a real Dafeng Daily.
"Master Pony, this chief writer can do it, you give me a day, and I promise to hand over a manuscript with drawings to you......"
The newspaper sounds like a very novel ornament, which is to give full play to his strengths as a reader, and according to Liu Huayun;
If he does a good job, he will not only have a good salary, but also hope to become another functional department and propaganda department that enjoys the treatment of five products in addition to the six departments and nine secretaries in the future.
As long as you sing praises to the emperor and the ministers, and occasionally ridicule the big businessmen of the people, where can you find this kind of good job that has a bright future and can relieve your anger, Lu Zixin hurriedly patted her chest and promised.
"It's okay, I'll give you a day, you're so ......"
After all, Lu Zixin was drafting a manuscript for a newspaper for the first time, and Liu Huayun was afraid that it would not have a clear direction;
He asked him to write and illustrate according to his own descriptions of the three things of the new emperor's accession to the throne and the celebration of Putiantong, the triumphant return of Yang Jiajun, and the land reform of Xinghuaying Village in Kaifeng City.
"Thank you for the mention!"
Lu Zixin's assurance was very good, but he also didn't know where to start, and now he had a clear direction, and after thanking him again, he carried the book out of the Drunken Immortal Building and went to the rented courtyard.
"Xianggong, did you have a cave with Sister He Jin last night?"
Seeing Lu Zixin leave, Liu Huayun had just walked into the living room on the third floor, and Meng Yushi, who had posted it, asked with a smile.
"Why, my Yushi baby, you also want to be pampered by the public, and if you don't ......, don't go."
Hehe laughed for a while, and while speaking, Liu Huayun's thief hand had reached into Meng Yushi's arms, and Liu Ruoxi, who was ashamed, turned around and was about to leave, but he reached out and dragged it back......
A moment later, the door to the parlor was slammed into the room, and the curtains of the windows were all drawn up, and there was a low ...... The sound came out.
This made Yu'er and Xin'er outside blushing with shame, but in order not to disturb the old men and ladies inside, they had to helplessly guard here.
In the afternoon, Liu Huayun, who enjoyed the joy of fish and water, checked the business of restaurants, garment shops, and beauty salons, and then took a few women to walk to the printing not far away.
Dafeng's rubbing industry has been very developed, in various cities, the size of the folk workshops are countless, Hangzhou has Liu Huayun's partner Chen Xiang ink, the capital together with this Juzhen Zhai of the Ya name, there are no less than ten.
Movable type printing technology has been used for hundreds of years, such as clay, wood, tin, copper, lead, magnetic ......, there are many kinds of materials that are quick to engrave and typeset, Juzhenzhai due to its strong strength, generally use the best magnetic plate printing.
"Master Horse, it is a great honor for the villain to be able to do things for you and Long Live Lord, I don't want the money from the sale of Juzhen Zhai, I just hope you can take ......care of it more in the future."
The shopkeeper of Juzhen Zhai is very shrewd, and heard that Liu Huayun and the emperor are going to buy Juzhen Zhai and set up the first newspaper in Dafeng, and they also offer a generous salary to him and his men;
He simply gave up the thousands of taels of silver, after all, the opportunity to curry favor with this lord and the current saint could not be bought even if it was ten thousand taels of gold.
"That's good, shopkeeper Cai, this Juzhenzhai will be owned by the imperial court in the future, but you can still live in the house, and the salary I said earlier will still be the same......
Oh, by the way, take this silver ticket, prepare more paper of that size that I just mentioned, and your editor-in-chief will come over in two days and prepare to rub the newspaper for sale. ”
Seeing Cai Wenjing so acquainted, Liu Huayun was also very happy, reached out and took out a few silver tickets from his arms and handed them to him, and opened his mouth to admonish.
Newspaper compilation and typesetting rubbing need to use Juzhenzhai's guys, and it takes a lot of young people to transport and resell them everywhere, but these are not difficult things for Cai Wenjing, who is a businessman, and Liu Huayun believes that he can solve it properly.
"Thank you, Master Ma, you and the emperor can rest assured."
The newspaper industry that belongs to the imperial court, after the first batch comes out, no matter whether anyone buys it or not, just like Liu Huayun in his previous life, the states and counties near the capital, those functional departments of the imperial court and the army, must be apportioned;
Therefore, the six hundred taels were used for the start-up capital in the early stage, which was more than enough, and after Cai Wenjing took it, he hurriedly thanked him.
After doing a good job in public opinion propaganda, it is not far from going out of Beijing again to inspect the garrison and transfer people to open mountains and mines, so after leaving Juzhenzhai, Liu Huayun took Liu Ruoxi and a few daughters back directly to the Horse Mansion.
He wanted to take advantage of the time before he left to love them well.
"Xianggong, did you ...... with your sister last night?"
At night, in the attic, although he had already guessed, Zhao Lingxin, who had a jade arm around his neck, couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Jin'er was already my wife last night, just like you, Lingxin, Xianggong is here......"
As long as Liu Huayun is in the inner house, the mood of the seven women is extremely comfortable, and the days pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another four or five days have passed in a hurry.
"Sell the newspaper, sell the newspaper, you only need six yuan to know what are the new patent policies promulgated by Long Live Lord? There is also the specific situation of General Yang Yunzhao's suppression of rebellion, as well as the pilot land reform in Kaifeng.......
Six pennies, you can't buy it, you can't buy it, you can't be fooled, oh, son, you want a copy, okay, this is your newspaper and the copper money that is looking for you, please take it. ”
This morning, in the noisy flow of people on the major streets of the capital, many young people holding papers that emit the smell of ink are sparing no effort to promote and sell to the pedestrians on the roadside.
"Brother Wu Xian, have you heard? The father and son of the Fu King He Xian had already hanged themselves in fear of sin, and the Yang family army was on the way to victory...... Our Dafeng is once again safe and secure, and it is all the wise decision of the saint today......"
"Yes, Brother Feng is right, but it's nothing?
Do you know the Yanagi family soap, soap, candles? Now that Banzai has promulgated the patent system, I heard that as long as you pay a certain fee to the Liu family, you can get the formula and open a workshop......"
"Really, and this good thing, Brother Feng, Brother Li, where did you get this news?"
At noon, in a small wine shop on the outskirts of Beijing, three scholars were sitting and chatting with each other, saying that at this time, the youngest scholar in white couldn't help but ask with surprise.
"Of course it's this treasure newspaper, you can learn about the world's major events for a small amount of money, Brother Wu Xian, didn't you buy it?"
With a faint smile, the older scholar surnamed Feng and the blue-shirted young man beside him carefully took out a piece of rice paper with handwriting on the front and back from their arms;
In addition to a few articles with bold headlines, there is also a vivid picture of a small hedged courtyard with almond trees, and the gate of the courtyard is full of people who can't hide their joy......
