Except for Yang Er and Sun Shan, who knew that Su You's calligraphy and painting were unique, no one else had seen Su You write, but they heard that Su You's paintings could still make them immortal, so they naturally paid more attention to him, so Su You drew sketches on the side, while the rest of them still drank and ate crabs, and listened to Yang Er and Sun Fujia talk about Su You's amazing skills.

The breeze came slowly, and I heard the sound of the piano from the top of the mountain, Yang Er also ordered the singer to be brought to the horizontal flute and harmonize, and after a while, Su You's sketch was finished, and everyone circulated it, all nodded and praised, Su You said, "This is just a sketch, after I go back, I will enlarge it ten times and twenty times to make a mural, and put it in the screen of our newspaper hall." ”

Speaking of the newspaper, everyone finally realized that it was time to get back to the topic, climbing is not the real purpose of today, everyone originally came to the newspaper, Sun Shan, Liu Shanjing, Zu Junyan, Du Ruhui and most of the four of them were won over because they did not meet Huai Cai and could not survive, Su You and Yang Er of course also have their own purposes, probably one hopes that the newspaper can help everyone speak, and the other hopes that the newspaper can help themselves speak, as for Xue Daoheng and Wang Zhen, they also know a little about the function of the newspaper, and their biggest interest is the dissemination of the newspaper, I hope to use newspapers to spread Confucianism.

So Su You reported his calculations and expectations for the newspaper to Yang Er and the other six people, and after speaking, he added, "Hengbo also knows that new things may not be understood by too many people at first, but I firmly believe that he can bring me convenience, so that we can better understand the world and understand the world, and the world will become more colorful because of it." ”

"I don't know what His Majesty will think, what if there are some words in the newspaper that are not in line with the holy will?" After all, Wang Zhen is the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, and the first thing that comes to mind is the emperor's thoughts.

"The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan. Your Majesty should understand this truth, of course, we can't openly get along with the imperial court, after all, half of the people here are officials, and His Royal Highness's identity is even more special and sensitive. Every article must be approved by half of the people before it is printed. Of course, His Highness only pointed out the general direction for us, and will not directly participate in the creation of the newspaper, so we still have seven people, that is, the approval of four people is required to adopt the manuscript. I think, this should be able to violate the content of the law, of course, we can't wave the flag for His Majesty, there are too many people like that, there is no shortage of us. ”

Yang Er also pretended to ask, "Hengbo, as an investor, what this king is most concerned about is, of course, the income, what is the way the newspaper gives me a return?" Maybe this problem is solved, and a few people can do it with peace of mind. After all, I'm not a charity here, so I won't be paying money for long, and the relationship between being able to take advantage of each other is obviously more stable. ”

"That Your Highness may know that the income of newspapers is divided into two parts, one is the newspaper that is sold, and the other is the income from advertising. There are nearly one million people in Dongdu, and there is almost one out of ten literate people, that is, 100,000 people, even if one of the ten people can buy newspapers, we can sell 10,000 copies, and if each newspaper is priced at 10 Wen, the income is 100,000. The income from advertising is actually that we are selling layouts, and we will print as much as we want, and charge ten wen per word, one thousand words is ten thousand, and ten thousand words is one hundred thousand...... And your expenses are the salaries of several of us, as well as the money to buy the manuscript, and the remuneration standard can be set as one word and one penny, and the expenditure of these remuneration should be far less than the income from advertising. ”

Zu Junyan said, "Then what do we need to do after we get paid?" What's the deal with buying manuscripts? ”

"Our responsibility, of course, is to coordinate and edit, select the real manuscript, the first manuscript is to be true, false information to be held accountable, and the second is to see whether the manuscript is suitable for public, trivial things we can't print, we can't print relevant state secrets, you can go back and brainstorm and detail our collection requirements. Buying a manuscript means that the source of the manuscript is for the public, and you can ask some literati to write it, and of course we can write it, as long as it is reviewed by four people, in principle, you will have an additional reward. ”

Everyone asked Su You some other questions, Su You answered them one by one, and finally strengthened everyone's determination to run a newspaper, so everyone made a preliminary plan and related regulations, but everything is difficult at the beginning, the source of information can rely on Yang Er's underground power, and the initial manuscript can also be written by everyone first, and the advertisement can be made by Taibai Lou Dongdu Qianzhuang and other partners first, and attract investment while publishing......

The biggest problem today is printing, which takes at least a month to prepare the font bank, and the limited staff and the strangeness of outsiders to the newspaper are doomed to not be able to report daily at first. Everyone is assigned work, and they meet again on the tenth day of October after a month, and the newspaper can be exempted from the test after about a month of hard work, right?

Su You thought about it, and was a little worried.

The sun is setting, and the autumn breeze is slightly cool. Everyone sang and helped each other down the hill, while the servants were busy cleaning up the scraps. Coming down the mountain, Yang Er called Su You again and asked him to give Du Ruhui and Sun Fu a few to solve the recent survival problem first, as for the other few who have official positions, they are all owed first, Su You did it one by one, and used the money on his body to advance a month's salary to Sun Shan and Du Ruhui, and invited Du Ruhui to take a ride back to the city. Ru Hao looked at the sun and secretly thought that he might not be able to enter the city gate if he walked back, so he was no longer stubborn and got into Su You's carriage.

After Sun Shan and Liu Shan said goodbye to Yang Er through Zu Junyan, they said goodbye to Su You, after all, they were only riding in an ox cart now. Su You didn't take a stand, and went home after paying the city gate tax without mentioning it.

On Sun Shan's ox cart, Liu Shanjing seemed to suddenly understand something, his eyebrows knotted, and he said with a smile, "They must be in the next big game of chess." ”

Sun Shan smiled, "Shanjing must think that Su Hengbo is very strange, right?" This man seems to be extremely intelligent, but he is the only one who does not know how to play chess, and it is said that he does not like the "white or black" argument, and Go has only these two colors, and it is necessary to distinguish between black and white. ”

Zu Junyan said, "In addition to black and white, does he have any other choice?" Blind people can also see that he and King Qi are the same dog, but fortunately, now that the prince has died, His Majesty has only one choice, so we don't have to choose. ”

"Jun Yan's words are inevitably mean, Su Hengbo came up with a newspaper, it is nothing more than to make it the mouthpiece of King Qi, but if he doesn't look for Voga, there should be other choices." Although Liu Shanjing is silent, it is not that he does not understand the inside story.

After all, Sun Shan had received Su You's direct favor, so he still thought about him, and only said, "If you just speak for the King of Qi, this is not necessary, how can he be such a smart person who can't see clearly?" Now it's better to be still than to be still, to make a mistake, and to be all over the place. Of course, it is best for King Qi to do nothing now, just like in the past half a year, put away his domineering nature, and not worry about not letting the king see it. Could it be that Hengbo really wants to speak for the people and the people of the world? ”

"Some time ago, there was news that a concubine was pregnant." Zu Junyan muttered.

"So what? King Qi was born to Empress Xiao. Liu Shanjing said,

"I really can't understand that, I'm afraid they're really playing a big game." Zu Junyan couldn't figure it out for a while, so he lay down on the haystack in the car.

"You guys, after all, we are already taking people's money, but we are suspicious of other people's motives here, Voga has begun to hate his own filth, we, are we too unkind?" Sun Shan said, also lying down on the haystack, especially muttering, "The more you know, the more troubles you have?" ”
