(200 monthly passes plus more achieved, let's do it again!) The steaming water vapor in the bath tub blurred people's vision, and the sound of the fierce splash swaying stopped slightly, and after a while, Liu Ru's almost paralyzed voice came: "Slave...... Slaves serve petty officials to bathe ......"

"You can rest, I must not have continued to exercise when I am not there, so I will only have this little strength."

"Where...... Where is it, it is clear that the petty officials are too tormented...... Slaves are in that kind of ...... I have never heard of such a lowly place, and there are so many ways to toss people. ”

"Don't mention that, you always keep it in mind!"

"The posture of the slave and the willow, the Lang is simple, although it is now ...... Now that this is the case, we must never forget how desolate the slave was in the first place. ”

"That being the case...... Then, you can thank me with your body again. ”

Another toss, Yu Guozhen was refreshed, although this kind of work is also quite physically demanding, but for Yu Guozhen, what he lacks is not physical strength, but excessive pressure, this kind of work is of great help to release excessive pressure in the body.

When the aftermath finally stopped, Liu Ru pressed her face tightly against Yu Guozhen's chest, listening to his heart beating powerfully, and her eyes could drip from the unfading flush on her face.

"Little official, in the past six months, I have been holding three magazines, and I have done a good job." She whispered.

Yu Guozhen left her in Xiang'an and did not take her to Qinzhou, mainly for two reasons: one is that she is relatively weak, and when all the infrastructure in Qinzhou has not been completed, she may not adapt to the water and soil when she goes there; The second is because "Storm Collection", "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" and "People's Livelihood Express" all need a reliable person to serve as the editor-in-chief.

This person is none other than Liu Ru, when it comes to the talent for learning, Liu Ru is very strong, well-read and memorized, and her analytical skills are not bad, Yu Guozhen handed over her selection criteria for articles, and she was able to pick out the articles that Yu Guozhen liked almost perfectly.

"Do you want to show credit, hehe, tell me to listen, let me see how much my family has done when I leave!"

"Now the three issues of "Storm Collection" no longer need us to sell, our own special store came to the door to order, Yingtian City, "Storm Collection" sold the most, there were 3,000 copies, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yang Prefectures, there are about 1,000 copies, even in the capital, you can also sell 2,000 copies......"

The three publications curated by Yu Guozhen have become popular thanks to Liu Ruye's efforts. Like "Storm Collection", it is the least sold of the three publications, and the frequency of publication is also the lowest, it is a bi-monthly magazine, only one issue every two months, but because it is aimed at the higher end of the reader, it is more expensive, each volume is 100 articles. That's it, the sales volume of "Storm Collection" has reached as many as 10,000 copies, and the operating income of each issue is nearly 1,000 copper coins.

The manuscript fee given by "Storm Collection" is also very generous, like Fang Yizhi, because it is connected to the publication of his "Physics Knowledge" in "Storm Collection", and now he has received more than 300 strokes alone, and in terms of the number of words, he has sent a total of more than 30,000 words, and every 10,000 words is 100 words, which makes him live a very generous life in Yingtian City.

Therefore, Yu Guozhen does not expect "Storm Collection" to make any money, the key is to establish a brand among the upper class readers, and at the same time constantly subtly influence them, making them more receptive to all kinds of new things.

"Minsheng Miscellaneous Notes" is also extremely popular, only in the heavenly city, it can sell 6,000 copies, and the rich provinces along the Yangtze River, "Minsheng Miscellaneous Notes" is far better than "Storm Collection", and the serialized stories in it are extremely popular...... Little official, do you know where "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" sells the most, and it is actually the land of fireworks in Qinglou! ”

Hearing this news, Yu Guozhen was also stunned, and then smiled, this was not only unexpected by him, but also expected by him, the place of fireworks in Qinglou is the place where literati from all walks of life linger, and those businessmen who are literate and hyphenation, and the pawns of peddlers who have a little extra money, also like to be in such a place. Those kabuki dancers who are sad about their unfortunate lives, and those literati who lament that they have never met talents, are most interested in all kinds of talented and beautiful women.

Therefore, the sales volume of "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" is as high as 30,000 copies, and the price of the monthly issue of "Minsheng Miscellaneous" is also cheaper than that of "Storm Collection", 50 wen per volume, so that the book income of each issue is 1,500 yuan.

But neither of them actually makes money, what really makes money is the "People's Livelihood Express", there is an issue of "People's Livelihood Express" every ten days, the price is only five texts, two sheets of paper with a large opening, a total of eight pages. The first page is some news in the imperial palace newspaper, which is considered to deal with the government, the second page is the strange talk of the alleys, the third page is the products of various places, and the last four pages are all kinds of strange things, and there are even advertisements for shops.

The sales volume of "Minsheng Express" is 70,000 copies, and in this era of lack of entertainment, "Minsheng Express" can be said to be the most popular entertainment tool, from changes in officialdom to all kinds of gossip. With huge sales, combined with advertising revenues, this newspaper was able to net about 300 yuan a month, and then used this income to make up for the shortfall of the other two publications.

""Minsheng Express" has been operated by you to this scale?" Yu Guozhen was also surprised by Liu Ruye's achievements: "How did you do it, don't say anything else, just those manuscripts...... Can't be prepared, right? ”

Unlike "Storm Collection", which is mainly contributed by the elites among today's readers, and not like "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous", Yu Guozhen has already prepared the manuscript, and the manuscript of "People's Livelihood Express" should have been collected by Liu Ru. No matter how smart and clever she is, it is impossible for her to complete all the work of reporters, editing, editing and proofreading by herself.

"This is not the credit of the slave alone, the little official has forgotten your three confidants?"

Yu Guozhen was stunned: "Who?" ”

"Since they are the three oiran girls, the little officials are the first merry people on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and they are sent to the slaves, and the slaves are not easy to support them to do other things, so naturally there is only this."

There was some jealousy in the words, with Liu Ru's education and identity, she was jealous of Yu Guozhen's genuine wife Fang Ziyi, she didn't have the heart or the guts, but it was a matter of course to be jealous of these three Oiran ladies.

Yu Guozhen patted his head, he really forgot about these three.

"How do they behave?"

"I was a little uncomfortable at first, but then I got better, and then Sister Wanrong came forward and invited the sisters in the green buildings everywhere to write articles, and the strange stories in the alleys, isn't this coming, those sisters can also use this to make money on silk fat powder."

Yu Guozhen laughed, but he didn't expect this, indeed, Wang Weibo and Gu Hengbo are okay, that Ma Wanrong has been in this party for many years, and has a wide range of contacts.

And the articles they wrote, how could the guests who chased the incense not be popular?

It's just that this is really a "reporter" for a reporter, but the "reporter" at this time is much cleaner and more obedient than some of his peers in later generations who specialize in spreading rumors and making things happen.

"If you're kind, you can figure it out." Yu Guozhen praised: "I am in Qinzhou, and every 30 days a boat comes from Guangzhou, and I buy "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" in Guangzhou. ”

"The little official has been in Qinzhou for a long time, and I don't know what Qinzhou looks like!" Liu Ru was quite curious.

"It's a good place, but if you're going to go, you'll have to wear a headscarf every day, lest you get a tan...... Ha ha. ”

"Is Xiaolian tanned?"

"She has dozens of children over there, and she only comes out every morning and dusk, but she has never tanned."

"The little official really opened his family school to Qinzhou." Liu Ru pursed his lips and smiled: "Even the imperial court, there is no petty official who pays such attention to education." ”

"The imperial court only cares whether it can write eight shares, but it doesn't care whether it can be a good official or not, and how to settle more scholars who can't be officials, these people are useless except for reading, so they can only live on the people, do evil, and oppress the good......"

"Okay, okay, I know that the little official is well-informed, and the slave is a woman, but I don't know so much." Liu Ru glanced at Yu Guozhen lightly.

She actually has great ambitions, and often hates this person for not being a man, but today, it is her very festive son, who only wants to talk about some festive things, and does not want to discuss those entangled national events.

"Yes, yes, isn't this afraid that you will ask Tian for a small amount and let you underestimate me?" Yu Guozhen laughed: "To be honest, I spend money like flowing water, I have spent more than 100,000 taels of silver in Qinzhou, and now my pocket is empty, just waiting for this female Tao Zhu to share my worries - how much money does the family have to use?" ”

"The female Tao Zhu is not a slave, she is the eldest lady of the Li family." Liu Ru was a slight roll of his eyes again.

"Miss Li, who is that?" Yu Guozhen thought of it at once this time, it was none other than Li Guangyan, who got a few words from him in Yingtian City, and specially wanted to open the garment workshop to Xiang'an. It's just that Yu Guozhen refused at that time, and he never expected that Liu Ru still remembered this little thing.

But remember, in front of Liu Ruye, it is absolutely impossible to admit it. This is not that she is afraid of women like tigers, on the contrary, this is a woman who knows how to coax a woman, and she must know how generous she is, and she does not love the woman who praises her in front of the person she likes.

His reaction made Liu Ru really happy, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "What about the little official pretending...... That Miss Li is a capable person, the little official reminded her a few words, and with the evaluation of the Oiran Bayan Conference, she is now famous, and her clothes are sold to Chengdu Mansion. However, this person is kind, a few days ago, she asked people to hand over a batch of copper coins to us in Yingtian City, which is enough for 3,000 yuan, and said that it is this year's dividend. ”

It seems that this Li Guangyan really has a business mind, and the garment manufacturing has really started for her.

After saying Li Guangyan, Liu Ru told Yu Guozhen that when Yu Guozhen left, the money that could be withdrawn from the Xiliu Courtyard was converted into silver, a total of more than 25,000 taels. This more than half a year has passed, several incomes, especially the income of cotton cloth, the cloth woven by the fine willow courtyard is now extremely famous in Yingtian, and even sold to Songjiang, known as "fine willow cloth", the value of each horse, almost the same as silk. Coupled with the income of the bead field, Yu Guozhen already has another 69,000 taels of silver in his hands.

In other houses, he earned 44,000 taels of silver in less than a year, which is quite good at making money, but in Yu Guozhen's opinion, this money is still not enough!
