Chapter 54: Liu Wuchang's Anger

Preparing to build a newspaper office, Lin Yi was already in his plan on the day when the trial production of movable type printing was successful. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThese **** also took the time to write a plan and carefully considered various plans, so they only need to do it step by step.

He doesn't like to procrastinate, and as soon as he decides, he immediately sets out to do it, so that he will not fall into laziness because of his hesitation and hesitation. Archie and Zhuzi have been sent by him to Taixue to fill in the stinky pond, so he and Liu Xinyi are all responsible for hanging the signs, writing notices, and recruiting employees.

The name of this newspaper, after Lin Yi and Liu Xinyi discussed, named it Bianjing Daily, the office space, first temporarily located in the outer courtyard of his house, the manuscript was approved, and it was immediately sent to the inner house, and Chunyu took Dalan and Xiaolan to typeset and print, because the printing personnel were really insufficient, Xinyuelan rushed to the market and found Yapo to buy six thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls and two fourteen or fifteen-year-old maids as helpers.

Lin Yi encouraged them to work hard, get paid every month, and allow them to redeem themselves for freedom after two years, and the eight boys and girls were very grateful, saying that they would work hard and repay their master's kindness.

Liu Wubian also brought in a few students and Lao Xiucai to be editors, but the articles written were all the same, and they all looked complacent. Lin Yi was so angry that he was angry on the spot, and he yelled with Liu Wubian, saying that the newspaper would never adopt a piece of classical Chinese, and only used vernacular that was easy to understand and concise.

"Mr. Liu, our newspaper is for anyone who can read and understand Braille, not just for those Xiucai and Tai students, I have already told you, why don't you listen?" Lin Yi preached earnestly.

Liu Wubian blushed and argued thickly: "Only when a good article is published in the newspaper will people read it?" These articles have been carefully selected by me, and they are all in line with the teachings of the saints! ”

Lin Yi said with a wry smile: "We open a newspaper to make money, and it is also to reflect the people's feelings and public opinions, not only for students and talents, if you have to do it, when we are on the right track, you can pay for another one!" Listen to me now, though! Take the article back and re-correct it all, otherwise you won't pay for it! ”

Lin Yi is the owner of the newspaper, Liu Wubian can't beat him after all, and besides, the talents have to pay for writing articles. Without money, who wants to come? Liu Wubian had to take it back angrily and rewrite it. Finally, before dark, it was corrected, and two of the Fengyue stories were written by him himself.

Lin Yi looked at it carefully, and barely passed, but changed all their original topics. What a superb little scholar, the story of a broken shoe and three men, the merry widow, the secret of Qunfanglou, the favorite of Liu Oiran and so on.

"Brother Lin, you have changed this topic too much...... Which one! My dad is in a hurry to see you? Liu Xinyi looked at the topic he had changed and said worriedly.

Lin Yi said with a smile: "Our newspaper has just been established, it must attract attention, only such a topic can attract people?" And remember, from today onwards, you will change the name of the topic for me, how to change it to popularity, how to change it to attract people's attention, it must be popular, popular, vulgar, and when the newspaper opens up sales channels and is on the right track, I will teach you how to write a press release. ”

Liu Xinyi nodded and agreed with a smile.

Lin Yi said again: "And you find a few more beautiful sisters, I want to ask you to be beautiful reporters." ”

Liu Xinyi said strangely: "What is this reporter?" ”

Lin Yi smiled: "This reporter is going to interview a celebrity, write down his words, and then write an article for publication, is this a very respectable profession?" Wherever he went, officials big and small did not dare to offend. Think about it, if you write him well with a pen, he will be a saint, and if he writes badly, he will be a heinous ****! When the time comes, the people will criticize him, and the spitting stars will have to drown him! ”

Liu Xinyi said with a smile: "I didn't expect reporters to have such a big role, so tomorrow I will find a few good sisters to work in our newspaper." ”

"Sister Liu, you must find a few people who are good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, good looks, and great figures! If we can't find it, we will advertise it in the newspaper for recruitment! Lin Yi admonished.

Liu Xinyi smiled: "Got it! Turn around and go home! ”

Lin Yi's newspaper was all sold by the poor children on the street who had nothing to do. These little newspaper boys, thirteen or fourteen years old, energetic, diligent in their work, with crisp voices, carrying a large bag on their backs, walking the streets and alleys, shouting loudly, it is easy to feel pity, and cannot help but want to pay for his newspapers. Lin Yi divided them into districts, and simply taught them a few ways to shout slogans, and then sent them all out. The first issue was just a test of the waters, so I didn't dare to print more, only 3,000 copies were printed, and the little newsboys took it and sold it.

"Newspapers, newspapers, Bianjing Daily, see how the merry widow surrendered to the three Tai students......"

"Outside, outside, the tragic life of Liu Huakui and the two nobles who helped her succeed......"

Early in the morning, this crisp newsboy shouting spread all over the streets and alleys of Bianjing City, and also reached the ears of Liu Wubian, who had just woken up.

Liu Wubian was the chief writer of the Bianjing Daily, and yesterday's newspaper used two of his manuscripts, so he naturally wanted to know what his article would look like in the newspaper, so he hurriedly instructed his wife Liu to go out and buy him a copy back.

Liu Wubian took the newspaper and took a closer look, the first impression was that the newspaper was good, the layout was neat, and it exuded a faint fragrance of ink, which was very intoxicating. Then I read the contents carefully.

Yikes! My Wind and Dust Story, how did the title change to the secret of the willow oiran? There is also an article by Li Xiucai, the title is actually called the face under the pomegranate skirt, and one of Wang Xiucai's masterpieces is called the delicate little feet of a famous prostitute in Beijing, and the title of another article of his own has been changed to a merry widow.

This...... This...... This kind of article is really very different from my Shilin model identity! Friends will laugh at themselves when they find out! From now on, his reputation will be completely ruined! Liu Wubian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly put on his clothes, and ran out.

"Husband, you have breakfast and then leave!" Liu shouted hurriedly behind him.

Liu Wubian scolded in his mouth: "Eat a fart, Lao Tzu is burning his buttocks, how can he still be in the mood to eat!" "Stride Meteor has been going.

Lin Yi got up early in the morning, and he was also restless waiting for the news, he came up with such a nasty trick, if he still can't open the road, which plan to become a newspaper industry will be greatly blocked, and he will have to start with news and current affairs in the future, and if he has not established a strong and solid alliance with the top level of the imperial court, it is no different from walking a tightrope, it is very dangerous.

"Why don't you try printing a book first? Is it safer this way? Lin Yi thought secretly. was wandering in the newspaper house with his hands behind his back waiting for the letter, when he saw Liu Wubian angrily breaking into the door,

Liu Wubian threw the newspaper in his hand on the table, and shouted at Lin Yi and asked, "Lin Yi, what's going on?" Who told you to change the title of my article to an amorous widow? What other article titles written by talented and too many students have all become ...... What kind of vulgar name has it become? As he spoke, he couldn't stop panting, and his eyes were red.

Lin Yi was intimidated by his momentum, and unconsciously took two steps back, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, please sit down, if you have something to say, do you have something to say!" He warmly invited him to sit down, calmed down, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, let me ask you a question, you said that our newspaper has a great impact on the circulation of 100,000 copies?" Or is it a big impact to issue 2,000 copies? ”

Liu Wubian gasped and said, "Why don't you need to ask, of course it's 100,000 copies!" ”

Lin Yi smiled: "That's right! We currently issue newspapers, 2,000 copies, is a trickle, can't turn up any big waves, but if it is 100,000 copies, it will be terrible, it can turn the clouds and rain in the capital, set off monstrous waves, can correct the words and deeds of the king, can supervise hundreds of officials, and can educate the people, and the role is great! However, it is still a newborn novelty, people have not yet formed the habit of reading it, we need to take some abnormal means of marketing, expand its market, and gradually affect the life of everyone in the capital, you don't want to call this just sprouted little seedling, because no one reads, sales are not good, so it dies! ”

Liu Wu became a little less angry and said, "But which topics, which topics are really ......"

"Is it too vulgar?" Lin Yi said with a smile: "Vulgarity is not terrible, if you can't expand sales and affect the decision-making of the imperial court, the words and deeds of the inspectors will be even more terrible, and the current Oiran Contest is an excellent opportunity to expand our sales and influence, and when the market size is large enough and there are enough people to watch, we will add some news and current affairs and comments!" But this is not yet ripe, and the rice needs to be eaten bite by bite! ”

"What's the point of writing about news and current affairs?" Liu Wu's anger has subsided, but Wu Zi is a little tough in his mouth.

Lin Yi pointed to the table in the room and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, look at our current newspaper office, which is still located in my house, it is purely a grass platform team, everything is not on the right track, and the friendship between the government and business has not been established, how can you ensure the correctness of news and current affairs?" You can't hear it! ”

Liu Wubian was speechless for a while, Lin Yihan lowered his face and said: "If Mr. Liu really can't pull his face, forget it!" I'm just playing with this newspaper, I'm going to do more business in the future, and I don't have the energy to pay attention to it, so sooner or later, the curator will also get married, if Mr. Liu blindly disagrees with me and can't learn the way of newspaper management, how can I rest assured that the newspaper will be handed over to Mr. in the future! I think it's better to change people! ”
