The four majestic characters of "China Daily" jumped on the paper. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Don't look at Yan Xueyi is only 23 years old this year, but Yan Xueyi's level of calligraphy is very high, in ancient times, Yan Xueyi was a calligrapher, and now, there are countless rich people in the Han Kingdom who are looking for a lot of money, but it is difficult to find a calligraphy.

Li Cheng left the palace of the king of Han with this hard-to-find ink, and did not return to the newspaper directly, but went to an antique store and asked someone to frame this inkstone.

This Mobao is the name of the newspaper, how could it fall into the hands of outsiders.

Today, Li Cheng knew that the work of the newspaper would be easy to carry out, and soon the newspaper would be able to recruit enough people, and maybe it would be able to recruit a few staff with a middle school education level.

Newspapers face many problems, the most important is the problem of manpower, the lack of reporters, the lack of editors with a higher level of education, so how can newspapers run? (It seems that there is no clear division between reporters and editors, and reporters are also required to write)

Fortunately, the manpower problem can be solved immediately, although there will still be a shortage of editors with a higher level of education, but Li Cheng has his own way.

Who is Li Cheng, Li Cheng is a student of Yan Xueyi, the king of the Han Dynasty, Li Cheng has a lot of brothers, and there are countless students of brothers, although they will not directly join the newspaper, but Li Cheng can ask them for a draft, this face brother and even the students of the brother will not give it.

In addition, Li Cheng can also "high-priced" essays, as long as others submit to the newspaper, they can get a manuscript fee if they are selected.

In addition, the articles written by the reporters and editors of the newspaper are so that the content of the newspaper is resolved, and the "China Daily" can be officially published.

But is it that simple to publish a newspaper? Apparently not.

You must know that the newspaper was established under Yan Xueyi's initiative, and Yan Xueyi naturally has his own plans.

Newspapers have many roles, such as as as propaganda tools and government mouthpieces, serving the interests of the rulers; disseminating knowledge and culture; Let the public understand the current affairs of the world, and be the first to know the new things happening in various places.

For Yan Xueyi, the ruler, of course, he values the role of newspapers in guiding public opinion.

Moreover, with the deepening of literacy education, the common people will know how to read, and the role of newspapers will become more and more important, so Yan Xueyi will let Li Cheng establish a newspaper to publish newspapers to correctly guide public opinion and maintain national rule.

The general direction of the content of "China Daily" has been determined, and the rest depends on Li Cheng's own performance.

A few days later, with the cooperation of various official departments, especially the Ministry of Education, the newspaper successfully recruited dozens of intellectuals, and several people with a high school level of knowledge.

Then Li Cheng personally visited some of his brothers and sisters, asked them for drafts, as long as they were not very busy and couldn't spare time, they would agree to Li Cheng's request.

After that, Li Cheng arranged several interview teams to act separately and interview several targets that had already been set: Wang Ming, who was disabled due to work, Han soldiers who were discharged from the army due to injuries, and a certain unit of the Han army.

Even Li Cheng communicated with the Ministry of Intelligence to obtain some information from the outside world.

The entire newspaper office is running at full speed under the command of Li Cheng, and it is expected that it will be officially published on March 1, but there is not much time left for Li Cheng.

What's more, the newspaper has been making such a big splash recently, and there is also the inscription given to the newspaper by King Han, almost the entire people in Yuanhe City know about the existence of the newspaper, and the pressure on Li Cheng can be imagined.

Fortunately, Li Cheng withstood the pressure and successfully completed the typesetting and printing of the first issue before March 1.

However, at this time, Li Cheng thought of a very serious problem: the newspaper was relatively simple to distribute in Yuanhe City and the surrounding areas, but how to solve it in a relatively distant place?

Faced with this problem, Li Cheng's head was a little confused, he really couldn't solve this problem, and then Li Cheng had the scene of his ragged road repair site working the road construction site in Li Cheng's mind.

At this time, Li Cheng was about to cry, why didn't he think of this problem before?

After a long while, Li Cheng calmed down and threw off the fantasy in his mind, it was impossible for the teacher to punish himself for repairing the road, and besides, the teacher's request was to let him establish a newspaper to publish the newspaper, and he did not ask himself to publish the newspaper in the whole territory at the same time.

In addition, although the name of the newspaper was "Zhonghua Daily," Li Cheng knew that it would be good to be able to publish a newspaper once a week, and if he wanted to publish "Zhonghua Daily" in other places, he could only transport the newspaper from Yuanhe City.

A few days passed quickly, and 50,000 copies of the first issue of the "China Daily" on March 1, 1885 were also printed, of which 40,000 copies had been transported to other places, and the remaining 10,000 copies were distributed in Yuanhe City.

At six o'clock in the morning of March 1, the "China Daily" was officially launched, and 10,000 copies of the "China Daily" had already been sent to stores in Yuanhe City, waiting to be sold, and the price was three cents of silver (one tael of silver was equal to one hundred cents of silver).

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, freshly baked "China Daily"!" (囧)

"Our store sells China Daily, limited to 50 copies, while stocks last."

"China Daily, three cents of silver."

The owners of the shops here and there are newspapers in one hand and shouting at the early passers-by.

Then something happened that Li Cheng never expected: 10,000 copies of the newspaper were sold out in an hour, and more people wanted to buy the newspaper.

Reprinting, printing, printing, Li Cheng hurriedly notified the printing house to speed up printing, Li Cheng knew that he had underestimated the influence of "China Daily", 10,000 newspapers in Yuanhe City were not enough, and 40,000 newspapers in the entire province were definitely not enough.

In Yuanhe City, why is China Daily in short supply?

Not to mention that those large and small government workers have a newspaper in their hands, even the income of ordinary people is relatively high, you must know that all residents of Yuanhe City who have a job, the minimum monthly income is two taels of silver, many families have two people with jobs, one or two silver is enough to buy more than 30 newspapers, and there must be many people who can spend three cents of silver to buy a newspaper to read a novelty.

Putting 10,000 newspapers in Yuanhe City is basically equivalent to ten families grabbing a newspaper, how can this meet the needs of Yuanhe City?

With a population of more than 40 million in Siqi Province, even if the income is not as high as that of Yuanhe City, there are many people who can afford newspapers and many people who want to read novelties.

Faced with this situation, Li Cheng had no choice but to print.
