"Extra! Extra! Yesterday, the Imperial Navy of our country defeated dozens of warships of the Navy with two warships in the waters of the Yellow Sea, and the fleet was crushed and annihilated in one fell swoop by the officers and men of our army in Nampo, North Korea, in the early hours of last night, including dozens of warships of the Navy stationed in Nampo! "In Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou, and other major cities, the newsboys clutched a newspaper tightly in their hands, ran back and forth vigorously, and shouted loudly.

It can be said without hesitation that China's newspaper industry was promoted by Wang Lin alone, and if it were not for the efforts of Wang Lin and his millions of soldiers, the people who read newspapers in China would still be a small group.

Since Wang Lin's uprising, China's newspaper industry can be said to have reached a **, and immediately after Wang Lin formed the Chinese Empire, although the newspaper industry was addicted to Wang Lin's decision-making for a period of time, but the subsequent Russo-Russian War once again pushed the newspaper industry to the peak.

In the past, only a few intellectuals in China would spend some money to buy a newspaper to read, but nowadays, almost every factory, every restaurant, every place with or without a commercial surname, will buy a few newspapers.

According to Wang Lin's proposal, the newspaper business has now launched a subscription project, which is a modern newspaper subscription, and there will be staff to deliver the newspaper to the corresponding place every day, so that the people can learn about the situation outside without leaving home. In some remote mountain villages, where the economic situation is not very good, more people are from several families, or even people from one village, pay together and subscribe to a year's newspaper together.

Then they kept it in one place, and then sold the newspapers to the newspaper at the end of the year, so that the newspapers of the year, they were almost equal to reading in vain, at first everyone did not believe that it was true, but as more and more people experienced the benefits of this way, more and more people believed that it was true.

In order to attract more customers, almost every stall owner in the city's restaurants, breakfast stalls, etc., will order a newspaper for customers to read for free. It doesn't matter if you can't read, there will always be a few literate people who come here to eat every day, and now life is getting better and better, people are becoming happier and happier, and people are also willing to read newspapers in the crowd.

No, with the advent of the war, the newspapers and the people's confidence in Wang Lin has decreased because of Sun Wen's coming to power, but with Wang Lin's new coming to power and his bold participation in the war, the people have felt the breath of the king from the beginning.

"Uncle Lai, your newspaper!" A young boy about 10 years old was carrying a schoolbag distributed by a newspaper office, which contained all the newspapers that were to be delivered today.

"Little San, you didn't have breakfast today, did you? Come on, it's not too late to eat this and deliver it to the newspaper! Boss Li smiled a little kindly, took out a hot bun from the cage and handed it to the newspaper boy.

"No, Uncle Li, I had breakfast today!" Xiao San shook his head a little shyly, with a look of envy in his eyes, but he still looked like I didn't want to.

"Little San, just take it, now is the time to grow your body, eat more!" At this moment, Boss Li's wife took the bun, pulled Xiao San over, and stuffed the bun into his hand.

"Really, my mother said, this little stall of yours doesn't make much money in a day, I'll be hungry for a while, and I should have lunch when I get back to the newspaper." Xiao San still shook his head strongly.

Looking at this ten-year-old boy, his father joined the Qing army at the beginning, and his wife came to Guangzhou with him, and he didn't know how to change when the Zhengnan army attacked the city, and finally died under the fire of the Zhengnan army.

In this era, there are not many things that women can do, although there are hundreds of large and small factories in Guangzhou, but there are few suitable for women to do, Wang Lin in order to solve the problem of women's work, let the garment factories under the Hualong Group, open some branches throughout the country, in addition to the Hainan general factory and the two branches in Sichuan and Henan, which are still responsible for the military clothing business, the other branches are all responsible for domestic and future export matters.

In this way, it can be regarded as solving the work problems of many women, but so many people in the whole country all rely on one Hualong Group to eat, so Hualong Group will be dragged down by these people sooner or later, and their fate is ultimately in their own hands.

Wang Lin does not have a minimum age limit for migrant workers, which is also a last resort, young children, at this time, should naturally sit in the school to read and attend classes, but is it really that easy to run an education? In fact, not at all, it has been decades now, although the 100 primary schools promised by Wang Lin have been completed, but in the face of free education, such a huge economic pressure, Wang Lin has to slow down the pace of development of the education industry.

Wang Lin personally ordered a month ago that major newspapers could recruit children under the age of 18 to distribute newspapers in various places on behalf of newspaper staff, but as a condition for response, each newspaper should take care of the children's education and lunch, as well as pay Chengren half of his salary.

Of course, education is not a difficult thing, there are so many newspaper reporters, just pick out a reporter, take advantage of the afternoon time to teach the children a lesson, teach them to read, it's as simple as that, as for lunch, two children may not be able to eat more than an adult, for the newspaper, it is just to cook a few more people's meals, and a newspaper, in a city, can find dozens of such children, and their salary is only half of that of adults, for the newspaper, this is definitely a good deal.

However, in order to encourage newspapers to replace schools as much as possible and teach children some elementary culture, that is, literacy, Wang Lin finally relented and issued an order to the major newspapers, that if a child is trained to complete the basic literacy task, the newspaper can receive a political axe subsidy of one yuan.

Now one yuan is equivalent to six taels of silver in the past, such a good thing has befallen him, which newspaper does not want to do it? Not to mention anything else, as long as there is a sentence from Wang Lin, even if they are asked to be wholly owned, some newspapers will not refute a word.

Just like the China Times, this newspaper can be said to be the leading enterprise in the domestic newspaper industry, although the boss is British, but none of its employees are British, all Chinese, and employee benefits are also the highest in the industry, not only reporters, for children under the age of eighteen, although the salary given by the China Times is the same as Wang Lin's regulations, but they provide three meals a day, and there is meat in lunch three times a week.

This makes many people wonder if this British boss is Chinese? How can you be closer to the Chinese than to the British? Of course, because of this, almost every day in the newspaper office of the China Times, a group of children will come to report.

It doesn't matter if there are more people, there are many people, then reduce their newspaper delivery area, and after delivering the newspaper, they will quickly come back to me to class, it will not take long for them to basically step out of the stage of illiteracy, anyway, there are articles in the newspaper, and it is extremely convenient to use them for exams, and cultivating children's literacy seems to have become a second career in the newspaper.

"Lao Li, don't want the child, don't force it!" A customer who had been sitting on the side and watching for a long time looked at Boss Li with a smile and said.

"Okay, if you don't eat, don't eat, you hurry up and finish the newspaper, and then return to the club to go to class, you must be a good person in the future, and you must not lose your backbone!" Seeing that Xiao San was so stubborn, Boss Li sighed in his heart.

"Well, I know, Uncle Li!"

After Xiao San left, the customer who spoke just now, after getting up and taking the newspaper, sat back in place, reading the contents of the newspaper aloud, his name is Dai Ren, he used to be a scholar, and then the court was gone, and the eight strands of literature or something were useless, I originally thought that without the court, he would have no motivation to live, but I didn't expect that after the establishment of the new country, literate people like him would find a job very easily, but he didn't want to work in other places outside the government, but fortunately, the government finally recruited documents, Dai Ren thought, Anyway, if you work in the government, you can be promoted after a long time? As a result, Dai Ren has since become a supernumerary temporary civil servant. It's just that he doesn't quite understand what this supernumerary temporary civil servant means.

"Mr. Dai, you're a liar, aren't you?" A young man, holding a bun in one hand and a bowl of soy milk in the other, was eating and talking.

"That's it, two warships can sink more than a dozen people, anyway, I don't believe it!" Another young man chimed in.

"Hey, I didn't expect that today's saints are also people who like to brag!" With the opening up policy after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are more and more topics for the emperor, and in the case of no one is under jurisdiction, they slowly dare to discuss national affairs in public, as long as they don't make things up. Creating gossip is a serious crime in the Chinese Empire, of course, saying that the emperor is a person who likes to brag like them is not a rumor-mongering, after all, this result is a bit too thunderous, not to mention the illiterate people below, even the staff in the political axe can't believe that this is true.

"Hehe, Old Li, are you prejudiced again?" Dai Ren smiled and opened his mouth to say: "If our two warships can't beat more than ten warships, then it's a shame!" ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Li Lao opened his mouth with some curiosity and asked, Dai Ren is also a person in the government, and he should know more news than them.

"If our two warships are the kind of warships of the former Qing Beiyang Fleet, it is naturally impossible for two warships to defeat more than a dozen warships, but our current main warships are Chinese ships, do you know what the displacement of the Chinese ships is?" Dai Ren asked a little shyly. Seeing a group of people below shaking their heads, indicating that they didn't know, Dai Ren continued with some smugness:

"Our Chinese ships have a full load displacement of more than 30,000 tons, eight twin 381 mm main guns, what kind of warships are the ships of the fleet opposite? Each by one, the small ships with a displacement of only 5,000 tons can beat our Chinese ships, even if they are smoking from their ancestral graves. ”

"Mr. Dai, how much is this more than 30,000 tons? What does this displacement mean? Why don't I understand it? A young man said loudly.

For a while, Dai Ren was a little speechless, he didn't know what to say, all he knew was just the surface, and he only knew the displacement and the number of main guns of the Chinese ship, as for anything else, but he didn't know anything, at the moment Dai Ren had a feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger, and finally had to smile and say: "Let me tell you this, it's like you are going to beat a two-year-old child now, you can hit him, he can't touch you at all!" ”
