Chapter 180 Qingzhou Mansion Newspaper

The speed of printing is very fast, Zhao Yu designed a printing press, a very simple machinery, and every three days need to replace the core parts such as wooden rollers inside, but the speed reminder is amazing!

The manual printing speed is not fast, because the font mold of the movable type printing seal is convex, so you need to be very careful when laying the paper, otherwise it is easy to cause the paper to fall elsewhere in the template, making the font blurred.

It took about two apprentices about a minute to print each newspaper. However, with the press, the speed has tripled! It takes about twenty seconds to print a newspaper, and it only takes one apprentice to do it. By the fifth day of the invention of movable type printing, 20,000 copies of the newspaper had already been printed as soon as possible! Among them, 5,000 copies of high-grade newspapers are of the highest grade, and the rest are of inferior grade.

The newspaper was first sold in Qingzhou and the three prefectures near Qingzhou, including Zizhou and Weizhou.

Because it is his own, Zhao Yu did not hesitate to use public power for private purposes, and on February 11, he ordered all the prefectures and counties on Jingdong East Road to order the Qingzhou Mansion newspaper, of course! The Qingzhou Mansion sold by Zhao Yu to Yamen was not only not expensive, but lower than the market price. The retail price of the top-grade Qingzhou Mansion is 20 wen a copy, and the Yamen only needs 18 wen to order! After deducting the travel expenses, in some remote places, Zhao Yu not only did not make money, but also had to post it upside down. Even if it's not remote, you can't make a few pennies.

Because of this, no one cares about Zhao Yu's private use of public power this time.

And on the market......

At this time, the snow in winter had melted a lot, and Zhang Dong came to Zizhou to meet friends with friends. After a long talk, the relationship between the two deepened a lot, and friends invited Zhang Dong to the tea shop for tea.

Tea in the Tang Dynasty Lu Yu has begun to develop since then, to the Song Dynasty has been recognized by the majority of scholars, tea tasting is also an elegant and common scholar activity.

Invite three or five confidants, and the group came to the tea shop. Just went in and greeted the second child, and the group sat down according to their status, and they had not yet ordered the tea. Then a boy of seven or eight years old, with a corner facing the sky, walked in. He was dressed in sackcloth, and a large bag was crumbling over his shoulders, full of things. From the objects exposed, they are all scrolls of 'books'.

Before the curious guests in the tea shop opened their mouths to ask, the little boy had already said loudly: "Sell newspapers!" Sell newspapers! ”

Although the tea shop has the word "shop", it is different from the wine shop. The tea shop is not able to chant uncontrollably, the operation of the tea shop is elegant, elegant, there are screens between the guests and the guests, and the voice will be deliberately lowered when speaking, where can this child be yelling? Isn't that a mess for him?

"What are you doing, little boy! Get out of here! How can this place of elegance allow you to cause trouble? The ruler in the soldier's uniform immediately stood up and shouted.

When the boy heard this, he immediately burst into tears. "I don't have a father and mother anymore, if I don't sell this newspaper, I won't be able to eat today! Ask for kindness from good people! ”

The shopkeeper's face was flushed, and he didn't know what to do. Although he said that he was somewhat sympathetic to the child, the shopkeeper would never let the child mess up his business because of this sympathy. It's just that I drove this kid out, and I'm afraid my reputation will stink a lot!

When the shopkeeper was in a dilemma, Zhang Dong understood compassion and said to the little boy: "I heard you say what you are selling, but you have a scroll in your pocket?" Sell it, leave quickly! ”

As soon as the child heard that there was business, he immediately stopped crying, but his face was covered with tears like a little cat. The nearby tea drinkers couldn't help but let out a good-natured chuckle.

The shopkeeper also breathed a sigh of relief, Xindao just sold a book, and it didn't take much time! In this way, if this little boy is driven away, not many people will care.

Where does the kid care about this? Trying to make himself look like an adult, he said seriously: "Back to the words of the official! I sell Qingzhou Di Newspaper, divided into upper and lower products! Twenty dollars for the top grade, thirteen dollars for the bottom grade! ”

A tea guest was surprised: "I've heard that the imperial court has a mansion newspaper, why did a Qingzhou mansion newspaper come up?" ”

Zhang Dong didn't ask, and said with a smile: "It's okay, bring me a copy of the high-quality Qingzhou Mansion newspaper!" 2,000 Wen is not expensive, but I don't know what is in it? ”

A friend persuaded on the side: "Zhongtong doesn't know what it is, why buy it for this money?" ”

Zhang Dong smiled heartily and said, "It's only twenty wen!" It can help a child who loses his parents at a young age, even if he buys a waste of paper, it is better than a hundred books in the world! ”

The friend couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he heard this, and hurriedly opened his mouth to ask for a high-quality one, which can be regarded as an apology for what he just said.

The little boy didn't expect that there would be two customers at once! Dengshi squinted his eyes, revealing his mouth that was missing three front teeth, and let out an innocent smile.

Xiao Tong carefully took the two strings of copper coins, counted them carefully, and put them in his bag. took out a stack of books from the cloth bag, handed it to Zhang Dong and the others with both hands, and said seriously: "This is the Qingzhou Mansion Report!" Please put it away! ”

Zhang Dong took it and said in surprise: "This newspaper is so thick? I'm afraid it's two or three thousand words! ”

The boy said seriously: "At least three thousand words!" This is set by our host, and we can't afford to lose the officials! ”

The other tea drinkers couldn't help but be aroused, this newspaper is so cheap? You must know that even if you hire someone to copy a book, the cheapest 1,000 words will cost 15 words! And it's the kind that doesn't include pen and ink! This newspaper is at least 3,000 words, and even if it is the least cost, it has to cost about 50 yuan!

You can't lose the officials here, it's just bloodletting and jumping off the building!

Some tea customers couldn't help but buy it.

And Zhang Dong here, as soon as he opened the front page, he couldn't help but be attracted by him. On the front page, Zhao Yu wrote "On the Reform of Huai Salt", first briefly explaining some salt laws in the past dynasties, and then discussing the disadvantages and resistance of the salt reform law.

These obstacles are very vague and replaced by those who may be hindered by big businessmen, in fact, people who are slightly smarter are hindering the people behind these big businessmen, but these people are those people, Zhao Yu didn't say it.

Zhang Dong was fascinated by it, and the later version was the most attractive, because most of these things happened around them.

But when they saw the third edition, everyone couldn't help but be stunned by the first sentence of the beginning!

The world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time!

How grandiose is that?
