After the eldest grandson Wuji came back in the evening, after dinner, the eldest grandson rushed forward and said, "Father, Chong'er has something to discuss with you, let's go to the study together!" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at Eldest Sun Chong and felt that there should be something important, otherwise he would not have been called.

When he arrived at the study, the eldest grandson Chong personally made a cup of tea for his father, and then took out the newspaper he had made for an afternoon from his arms, and said, "Father, look! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji drank a few sips of tea first, took it and took a look, the big word "Datang Daily" on it, what is this?

After reading it carefully, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and asked, "This is a book that guides the people's speech, right?" Just a big piece of paper, not a book! ”

No one is stupid, the eldest grandson nodded his head: "This is the newspaper, you can pick some representative things that happened yesterday and write them on it." If there is a bullying of men and women, it is also written on it; To advertise, you can also pay for advertising; The most important thing is that if the imperial court wants to guide the people, it can also publish articles on it. Of course, the newspaper is in the hands of the imperial court, but it cannot manage the newspaper, only the right to supervise. ”

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji nodded again and again and said, "Well, this is very good, can it be technically solved by printing such a large paper?" ”

"That's no problem at all." The eldest grandson Wuji replied, "But how did you think of getting these things?" ”

Eldest Sun Chong said what Li Er said today, seeking the advice of Eldest Sun Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji was surprised, his son's brain was very fast, and he said, "I'm really curious, how did you come up with this!" ”

"I have more ideas, this is the daily newspaper; We can also make Datang Monthly magazines with rich content according to the Di Bao sent to Chang'an from all over the country, and in the first few pages, we can write about current political news; In the middle of the rear, some court laws are written, and there are some legal interpretations; Then you can also include the poetry and songs of the literati. or some missing articles; Then, there are some interesting facts and gossip about Chang'an, mixed with some advertisements. It's not one, it's one, and in this way, a lot of content is covered. Eldest Sun Chong explained, as detailed as possible, hoping that Eldest Sun Wuji can fully understand.

"You're saying anyone can contribute?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked.

"Of course, but whether it can be published or not, it still needs to be reviewed! Therefore, there is no need to worry about publishing anything that does not conform to the imperial edict. And it can also be given according to the length and content of the manuscript, in this way, some outstanding children or officials can get income, isn't it beautiful! ”

"That's very good. How much are you going to sell this newspaper for? How much does this monthly magazine cost? Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said, "The price is not expensive, such a big newspaper costs two pennies a piece." The monthly magazine has more than 20 sheets of paper that are a little smaller. That's it! As long as the cost is enough! ”

"Then it doesn't make money? So how do you pay for your manuscript! Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

"Hehe, these are enough expenses, as for making money, then start with advertising. Whoever wants to advertise on it, has to give money, according to the number of times. The size of the article and other specific circumstances to collect money. The eldest grandson Chong said proudly, if you really want to do it, you will be soft on advertising fees.

"Can you really get a lot of advertising money?" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't believe it.

"Don't worry, if no one advertises. Our family's property is on it, and you will know the benefits of publicizing it. ”

"You just said anyone can contribute to it? Won't it cause trouble? The eldest grandson Wuji's hands were itchy, and he also hoped that many people would see the poems he wrote, so he asked cheekily.

"Dad, of course you can, you can write a pen name! I don't need my real name, only our editorial department knows it. Changsun Chong explained.

"Good, good!" The eldest grandson Wuji left the newspaper, "Tomorrow we will go to Your Majesty together!" ”

Eldest Sun Chong hurriedly stopped: "Wait, let's send it in a few days, Chong'er doesn't want His Majesty to know that I can think of a way so quickly." ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he felt that he was impatient, and suddenly realized and said: "Yes, yes, it's too easy to come, so I don't remember you." ”

In recent days, the most popular business is the melon and fruit shop opened by Merlin and Liu Muxiang, and there is not enough watermelon to sell without a car every day. Some large families go directly to Zhuangzi to pull and buy one car at a time. A pound of watermelon costs 20 yuan, and a watermelon costs 3 or 400 yuan. A cart of watermelons is thirty taels. Every day, hundreds of acres of watermelons will produce dozens of truckloads of watermelons.

The seeds brought by Changsun Chong are large varieties, early ripening and delicious. After living for half a month, although half of the watermelons in the field have been sold, many of them are now blooming. Even in the peak season of watermelon, it can be sold for a lot of money. In these days, watermelon is only something that rich people can afford, and it is expensive!

Liu Muxiang went to see the situation of the store, was pulled by Merlin, stuffed 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and said: "This is half a month's dividend!" Hurry up and take it, if there is anything you want to buy, don't be reluctant to spend money. Now we make money, not bad money. ”

Liu Muxiang didn't want it, and refused to say: "Sister-in-law, I don't lack money to spend now, put this money here for you first, and you will give it to me at the end of the month." ”

Seeing Liu Muxiang's refusal, Merlin didn't insist, in the past few days, she was very happy, she had a lot of money in her hand, and after the summer, the family could change to a bigger house.

"Mu Xiang, take good care of your body, sister-in-law will send you the tonic in two days, and when the princess enters the door for three months, you can have a child." Now is the time to take care of your body. Merlin whispered, "You have to continue to endure, don't fall short!" ”

"Sister-in-law, I know you're relieved!" Liu Muxiang nodded, indicating that she knew, "Sister-in-law, we have money in our hands, why don't we buy more land, although the vegetable greenhouse this winter will not be as prosperous as last year, it should not be too bad!" ”

"Well, I think so too, and let the eldest young master help find more seeds. This year we will plant less vegetables, we will plant more cucumbers and tomatoes, and it would be even better if there were delicious fruits that could be grown in the greenhouse. "Merlin has been in business for a long time and has become more savvy.

"Okay, I'll ask when I go back." Liu Muxiang nodded, "By the way, recently the Xianggong got a newspaper to advertise the family's industry, so I reported the family's watermelon." If it works, we'll continue to do it later. ”

"What's the advertisement?" Merlin asked curiously.

"It is to advertise it widely, and print the pictures and words of our watermelons on it, so that more people know about it, so that our watermelons will be better sold."

"But our watermelons have always been in short supply! No advertising required! Merlin was puzzled.

"You don't know this, we want to create a famous brand, so that when others hear watermelon, they will think of our watermelon!" Liu Muxiang said all these things from the eldest grandson Chong.

"Oh, I see, when people mention watermelons, they say that the watermelons of Fu Ji are good, isn't that the case?" Merlin understood.

"That's it! Our watermelons are good, even if they are sold more expensive than others in the future, some people will buy them. ”

"Great, we'll do this advertisement!"

Let's say that the eldest grandson Wuji took the eldest grandson Chong to meet Li Er, Li Er was very interested in this newspaper and strongly asked the eldest grandson Chong to hurry up and operate it. Originally, it was Datang Daily, but when I thought about it, I changed it from one every day to one every three days, so I tried it.

Li Er was very excited, and when he heard that the author of the submission could use the pen name "Jishi Anmin", he was itchy and ready to submit.

"Chong'er, do you think it's okay for me to go and submit?" Li Er asked with a little embarrassment.

"Of course, if you don't want people to know who you really are, then you can take a pen name and express your opinion; If you want people to know who you really are, use your real name. Just like if we carry out against other countries, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to issue a war letter, you must sign your name. If you want to take a break from articles, needlework, or poetry, it's best to use a pen name, so that you can talk freely with others. Like I said, if I contribute, I'll use Plump Jushi! ”

"Hehe, your name is a bit shabby!" Li Er smiled.

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate my pen name, in the pen talk of Baiwei Building, there are many people who have left messages to praise the poems of the plump layman, not to mention the famous, but by no means unknown." The eldest grandson Chong said proudly.

"Well, let's see what you put in the newspaper when the time comes!" Li Er said, "But which department does this Datang Daily belong to?" ”

After all, there is no suitable department!

The eldest grandson Chong thought for a while: "Your Majesty, it is better to hang under the Guozijian, just so that you can speak freely, a hundred schools of thought contend, and stimulate the patriotic thoughts of students." ”

"Okay, who do you choose for the editor-in-chief?" Li Er asked, if there is no respected person, it is estimated that he will not be able to provoke it.

"Originally, I was going to ask Shizun to be the editor-in-chief, but Shizun was still in charge of the prince's course, so I was going to invite my senior brother Xiao Yu and Kong Yingda as the editor-in-chief, and I was the deputy editor-in-chief, and then I would recruit a few more editors and reporters." Changsun Chong arranged it this way for the time being.

"Okay, one is the country's prince of the sacrificial wine, and the other is the court's slaughter, the amount is enough. The following people, you can arrange it at your own discretion, but you'd better complete all kinds of content within one day, and then, take it to me here and review it, and then you can print it on the third day! Is it too late? Li Er asked.

The eldest grandson made the calculation: "It's in time, of course it's in time!" As for the funds"

"Didn't you say you charge for advertising?"

"But no one has advertised the first issue yet."

"Don't you have a lot of property in your family, I promised you to give you three consecutive free advertisements, so it's okay, right?" Li Er backed down.

"Yes, of course!" Anyway, Changsun Chong is not short of money, as long as the first few issues are out, he will not worry about money at all. (To be continued......)
