Chapter 447: The Information Age of the Pre-Qin Dynasty

Now no one dares to call Bai Gou a dog leftover, even the Chu people in the far south know that he is the number two person of the Bai family trading company, and this number one person is Bai Dong's wife bitter wine; The Bai family's trading bases all over the world are in the hands of Kujiu and him, and even if he stomps his feet casually, the Chinese business community will cause a small earthquake.

Now the dog leftover also has a word, or when the court Sikong Du Zhi personally took it for him, he said, 'Don't'. Even Gan Long and Yingqu Liang said that this word was good, and asked him to remember the deep meaning of the word given to him by the teacher, Bai Gou actually understood it very well, and he wanted to warn him not to "reluctantly" spend the day. The name and the word are all related, he should be more diligent and attentive, he will not be ashamed of his trust in Ping An Lang, and his achievements will be higher in the future, so that he will not be defeated by the two rivals of love.

When Bai Gou arrived, Bai Dong was in the tent and explained to Yingquliang and others what a newspaper was. Yingquliang and the other dignitaries pricked up their ears and listened, desperately imagining in their minds, but this thing is too abstract, and it has only been a few days since Huaxia had paper? Suddenly jumped to the newspaper, this is the Great Leap ~ Advance, not to mention Yingquliang and Lao Ganlong and others, even an imaginative guy like Du Zhi is confused. What the? You can sell the news for money by printing it on paper, Baizi, have you figured it out, how many literate people are there in Huaxia now? And how many people are willing to spend money to buy newspapers to read? How do you look at this matter, how does it look like a money-losing business, and it is said that in the name of "Daqin Times", if there is a profit in the future, it will be distributed to the government 30%, which can be regarded as adding a solid entry to the government, a stable fart? Solid loss of money?

"There will be my columns in the Daqin Times, and new poems I have written will be published every month. In addition, there is a follow-up report on the hundred pulpits. I will also say that the teachers of the Fengming Academy have set up columns. Publish articles from time to time. With these contents. I am not afraid that the nobles, ministers, doctors and scholars of various countries will not pay for it! Moreover, there are all kinds of interesting insights in this newspaper, which can be described as a collection of knowledge and entertainment, and the price is much cheaper than that of simple books, and only one copper coin is sold for each piece, and the coinage of all countries is equally available, so that even those poor scholars and down-and-out nobles will be willing to spend money, so that sales can be guaranteed. ”

Before Bai Dong's words fell, a guard reported that the dog leftovers came; Bai Dong laughed and said, "Second brother." When the younger brother came, he ordered the Bai family printing workshop to print a newspaper sample, and the second brother knew when he saw it. Ying Quliang nodded, ordered someone to bring the dog leftovers into the account, and said to him with a smile: "Don't you have to be restrained, sit down and drink saliva, is this the report?" It's a big one. "I took the paper that was 4 open according to the standards of later generations, and opened it layer by layer to see it with relish.

Gan Longwei and the others were curious, but they didn't dare to lose their manners, and peeked over, only to see that this large piece of paper was folded into several layers, and there were printed handwriting on both sides of the front and back. It is circled into small pieces, separated by ink lines. Those ink lines are also ingenious, some of them look like complete earthworms, and some of them look like the lace of women's dresses that have become popular in Luoyi recently. Since the Bai family trading company launched this new style of women's skirt, so that some aristocratic women chased wildly, the men were not pleasing to the eye at first, but they couldn't find any violation of etiquette in this move, so the women went, but then it was more and more pleasing to the eye, if anyone's mother-in-law did not buy this kind of lace women's dress, it would be very faceless

Lao Ganlong glanced at it and saw an eye-catching title - 'Qin Guobaizi's new work in early autumn - "Jushan Autumn"", but unfortunately he could only see the first sentence in this position, "After the New Rain in the Empty Mountain"

Gan Long was stunned for a moment, isn't this too much of a susceptibility? After carefully tasting it, I nodded again and again, good poems, good poems, it seems to be easy to understand, in fact, it is important to focus on a "empty" word, a "new" word, the empty can be seen quiet, the new seems to let people see the clear and clean autumn rain falling from the sky, the rain is new, the mountains and forests after the rain have also become new, only five words, it will be a quiet, clean and autumn rainy scene depicted, this is the handwriting of contemporary Wenzong! I wonder what will happen to the next sentence?

Old Ganlong's heart was itchy and scratchy, and he was about to continue reading the next sentence, but he didn't expect Yingquliang to turn the page, and this Qin Jun was also attentive.

"Looking at the Past from the Qin State Reform" and "The Western Regions Scripture Briefly Says, The Rong People and the Chinese Family Are Relatives? "On the Role of Wei Martingale in the Reform of the Qin State", "This Old Qin is a Little Strong", "The Third Eye Looks at the Qin State", "The Story of the Old King Next Door, Who is the winner in the battle of Qin and Wei? 》

Half of this sample newspaper is an article related to politics and military, and Bai Dong's name is not seen much, but Wei Ying has made a big bird; Wei Ying, who was quite close to Yingquliang, was almost darkened, and he also peeked at a lot of content, the author of these articles was very polite, praising him for changing the law for the country, although there were also voices, but more of them were criticizing him for being overly rapid and not old enough to seek the country, and he wanted to refute it, but he saw that the authors' signatures were all unheard of strange names, God knows who to settle the account? What's more, the promoter behind this newspaper is Bai Zi, who has the grace to recommend him, and he doesn't dare to say anything if he has the courage to do so

Yingquliang watched and laughed until Wei Ying's face was dark, then he turned over the political and military section, and turned to watch some interesting news and anecdotes in Bai Dong's mouth; It's just that now the "Daqin Times" is still planning, and even the paparazzi have not yet been established, and all kinds of "interesting stories" are really limited, and most of them are still focused on news.

The biggest news is naturally the "Hundred Lectures" that Bai Dong is building, and the other is the news about the "Fenghui Money Bank", but Bai Dong seems to be deliberately concealing, only saying that he wants to open an unprecedented business model, which has great benefits for the country and the people, and threw out the name of the money bank, but did not explain more about the operation mode. I was very puzzled, but I forcibly held back and didn't ask Bai Dong; If the dignified Qin Jun doesn't understand anything and has to ask the fourth child for everything, it will be too shameless.

"What a novelty, although a copper plate is not small, but in the eyes of the noble secretary and doctor, it is nothing, even ordinary scholars can easily afford it, and if this thing is popular in the world, it can lead the trend of thought, if it is used properly, it is a terrible power."

Ying Quliang's words made Bai Dong stunned, worthy of Qin Xiaogong, although he had never seen a newspaper, he had the ability to see and know everything; Today's Huaxia is in a period of contention, the cost of learning may not be much higher than that of later dynasties, in fact, there are still readers, at this time the national population should be about 20 million, even if one out of a hundred, there are 200,000 potential consumers, running a newspaper is not afraid of losing money, but his real intention is not to make money, but to preemptively control public opinion and lead the trend of Chinese thought! I thought that my mind was very hidden, no matter how smart the ancients were, they would not understand it without two or three years, and they didn't expect to be seen through by Yingquliang at a glance.

"It's me who underestimates the second brother too much" Bai Dong couldn't help but secretly remind himself in his heart that this journey may be too smooth, and he can't help but despise the ancients, and unconsciously regard the world as a plaything in his palm.

"The second brother is right to say that the biggest role of the newspaper is not to make money, but to control the trend of thought. The small one can be used to lead the people, and the big one can influence China, and then open up the world and lead an era."

"Oh? Breaking new ground and leading an era? Ping An Lang, what do you mean by that? "Yingqu Liang's spirit is uplifted, the fourth child has always done what he says, he said that he can lead the times, then it must be, that is the great era of the Qin State?

"This era belongs to the Qin State, and it will also belong to the whole of China, I call it the 'Information Age', 'The Informer, the Message of the Day Can Be Transmitted to China' For example, there is an incident that happened in the Qin State in the morning, at most the people of Chu will see it in the newspaper at sunset, after the advent of the Information Age, China will be ten times or a hundred times smaller" Bai Dong almost blurted out' Global Village's coming, fortunately, he still endured, with his current preparations, and with the best efforts of the Bai family, he could only make the newspaper print in Qin and Chu at the same time, which is already an extremely remarkable thing for this era, but it is still a world of difference compared to the real information age in later generations, and it is too much to brag and blush (to be continued......
