Chapter 314 Additional Monthly

Because I posted the advertisement of the receipt of the manuscript and the advertisement of the advertising fee, I didn't expect to receive so many manuscripts in just one day, including articles, acupuncture and disadvantages, and some health tips, poems and essays. There are too many, and Changsun Chong and a few editors can't see it at all.

Li Yexu and others wandered around Chang'an City, got a lot of recent news, and the entire editorial department was busy. Changsun Chong decided to recruit, recruit more capable people, and share some burdens.

Changsun Chong decided to publish a job posting in the second issue of the newspaper, write down the people to be recruited according to the requirements, and hoped that someone would voluntarily come for an interview.

The second issue of the newspaper was published as scheduled, this time with 10,000 hairstyles, and the happiest were those newsboys, so that they could get 200 copies of the newspaper, and they could transfer 50 copies a day, and if they met a generous person, they could also have a reward.

Cheng Biting Jin was shameless, and asked Cheng Chubi to buy fifty newspapers and send them to people he knew well, so that everyone could see his demeanor, because he was the one who interviewed him.

When Changsun Chong and the other editorial departments saw Cheng Chubi's manuscript, they thought that their eyes were talking, which is a biography, it is simply a heavenly soldier.

Everyone stared at Cheng Chubi, Cheng Chubi's face was not as thick as his father, and he said: "This is all written by my father, if you don't thank him, he will beat me!" After speaking, he unconsciously touched his buttocks.

The eldest grandson smiled, and he was not embarrassed, so he had to take it to revise it, otherwise he would not be able to afford to lose that person.

Originally, in some restaurants or downtown areas in Chang'an, some people said that they were reading books and singing songs, but since the newspaper appeared, these people changed to read the newspaper. You can buy a newspaper for three pennies, and then read it out and talk about the wonderful places, which wins bursts of applause.

People who could not afford to buy newspapers, or who were illiterate, could do so by listening to them. Get something useful. For example, the recent weather conditions, as well as interesting characters, and interesting stories.

For a while, there were a lot more storytellers in Chang'an, and business was much better. There are more people who advertise, and they are all lined up for two months, and the money for buying bags can already recover the cost, so the advertising fee is the pure profit. In just three issues, it has attracted much attention.

Changsun Chong summoned an editor, who was responsible for reviewing the manuscript, and only took it out if he felt that it was good. Everyone discussed and decided whether to print or not.

There's a standout among them. Luo Bing Wang. The first poem that modern children come into contact with comes from him, goose goose goose, song to the sky, white hair floating in green water, red anthurium plucking clear waves!

This kid is really a talent, and his family background is not bad. Studied in Guozijian. When I saw the recruitment, I directly asked for leave from Guozijian, and while completing my studies in Guozijian, I also had to be the editor of Datang Daily.

It may be that Luo Bing Wang is very talented. The old master of Guozijian actually agreed and allowed Luo Bin Wang to work and study part-time.

Of course, I didn't forget to recruit ten reporters, Datang Daily's team has grown a lot, and the remuneration is objective, which allows several poor students in it to have a lot of income, and they can live in Chang'an City to a higher level.

Li Er was the first to witness the Datang Daily every three days, and he liked it very much, and with a wave of his hand, it was also published in Luoyang, the eastern capital, so the number of copies printed increased to 20,000 copies.

Because of the construction of cement roads, the time from Chang'an to Luoyang was greatly shortened, and there was no way to delay these newspapers by a day or two, which was also the disadvantage of backward information.

"Chong'er, your newspaper is very good!" Li Er laughed while watching, there were jokes on it, and there were some interesting things that happened in Chang'an, which also helped people to have fun and fight uneven things.

The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I think this Datang Daily is only one, the content is too little, I want to add one, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”

Li Er listened to it and said, "You can do it yourself, but what are you going to add?" ”

Changsun Chong said: "Entertainment gossip! ”

"What do you mean? How can it involve gossip? Li Er frowned, not knowing why.

"It's to introduce some things that have been popular recently, or that flower building has an Oiran, who has a concubine, and the situation of the polo game, etc., to entertain everyone." Changsun Chong explained.

Li Er frowned, shook his head and said, "No! I heard your father say that you still want to start a weekly magazine, so add it to it! Datang Daily's content is very good, and you can't add messy content. ”

"That's fine, how many issues do we do a month?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

"Two issues a month, you can set the content yourself!" Li Er said, "But it can't be too outrageous, otherwise it won't pass, and it will have to be redone." ”

"Your Majesty, you see that this is about to be the Chinese Valentine's Day, can I go and interview my aunt, my aunt's mother is a model and example for women in the world, I hope my aunt's morality can influence more women in the Tang Dynasty." Changsun Chong suggested that this is also a means to win the hearts of the people.

When Li Er heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "That's very good!" Then the queen of the Qixi Festival wrote an article and put it on it, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was not replaced by me. ”

Changsun Chong nodded and said, "Of course, in the future, as long as you go to a relatively large traditional festival, such as Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang, Chinese New Year's Eve, and Lantern Festival, Your Majesty can write it." Even if you don't write articles, you can greet the people of the world with your aunt, and your majesty's prestige will be even higher! ”

Li Er's heart was itching, and he nodded again and again.

"Datang Daily is a commercial group, so we have to pay taxes, and Chong'er has ordered the account office to pay taxes according to the standard of one out of ten." Changsun Chong knew that the recent implementation of the new tax was not very good, but he felt that the ten taxes were already considered a very light tax.

"I didn't expect you to be able to cover your own profits and losses so quickly, how much did you earn?" Li Er asked curiously.

Eldest Sun Chong stretched out a slap and asked Li Erchai.

"Five hundred taels?" Li Er asked.

The eldest grandson Chong said proudly: "This is just the tax we paid!" ”

"What? Can you earn 5,000 taels a month? Li Er asked in amazement, looking disbelieving.

"What's this! The money from selling newspapers is balanced with the cost, and all the profits come from advertising. Changsun Chong said, "Merchants have money in their hands, and they are not worried about expensive advertising, but worried that they can't sell their things." ”

"Listening to you say this, there are so many in Chang'an alone, and if you add Luoyang's later, you can earn nearly 10,000 taels of silver a month." Li Er muttered, these are just two cities, if the whole country opens such a newspaper, in that case, how much money will be made in a year! Numerous!

Knowing that Li Er's heart was moved, Changsun Chong said: "Yes, if there are newspapers all over the country, it can not only appease and educate the people, but also make money." In a year, it is estimated that the treasury can be doubled. ”

Li Ershen thought and said: "Chong'er, then I'll leave this to you, do you think you can promote it throughout the country?" ”

Changsun Chong heard that the transportation is not developed now, even if it is printed locally, it also needs to be sent over the first edition, and it can't be Datang Daily, the content is different everywhere! ”

"Your Majesty, this Datang Daily cannot be promoted to the whole country for the time being, but the monthly magazine we have opened can be promoted throughout the country, and after it is printed, it will be shipped out immediately, and it is estimated that someone will buy it, after all, it is all articles written by the great Confucians of Chang'an, as well as current political news, which are needed by the people in remote places." Changsun Chong suggested.

"Well, this matter is up to you, how much money does it cost, just say it!" Li Er is rare to be generous, anyway, he knows that Changsun Chong can definitely make a profit, and he doesn't worry about losing money at all.

"No need, we now have four thousand five hundred taels of silver, which is enough for the start-up capital of the monthly magazine.

After Changsun Chong went back, dozens of people held a meeting and began to start the monthly magazine, and Changsun Chong added the content of the vernacular text, and put the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" that he copied before on it according to the chapters. Of course, it's not for nothing, but for the manuscript fee.

Originally, the monthly magazine was planned to be only 30 sheets of paper and 60 pages, but Li Er spoke, so it was made into 50 pages, with more content.

Wei Shuyu came over, took a dozen manuscripts, and said: "Brother Chongxian, this is my father's painstaking work for many years, and it has been sorted out, I wonder if it can be serialized in a monthly magazine?" ”

The eldest grandson rushed to a spirit, Wei Heizi's receipt was very valuable, whether it was successful or not, it had to be valued, otherwise it would offend Wei Heizi.

"It turned out to be Lord Wei's, put it here first, I'll take a look first. You also know that our first edition of these things must be approved by His Majesty, otherwise they cannot be published, or I will show them to His Majesty first? The eldest grandson Chong inquired and said, the words must be said first, otherwise he will offend people at both ends.

Wei Shuyu chuckled and said: "Of course you can, anyway, you want the world to see it, even if Your Majesty doesn't read it now, you will see it when it is published, and you are also taking precautions when you do this!" ”

"It's great that Brother Wei can think like this!" Changsun Chong was naturally willing to publish Wei Zheng's article, after all, Wei Zheng was a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty, Qingliu, and a model for many people to worship.

It is precisely because of a courtier like Wei Zheng who dares to speak out, so the Tang Dynasty officials are gradually clear, and they have to speak out when they see injustices, no matter who they are! Just like Your Majesty, it wasn't that Wei Zheng was speechless, so he had to do it.

"Thank you Brother Chongxian, thanks to you, I now receive a salary, and I also have a salary, and my salary is three times that of Yulu. I make more money than my dad. As you know, my father was stubborn and not allowed to do business, so all the family's expenses came from me and my father's money, and life was quite hard. Sometimes I see that my father likes something and is reluctant to buy it, and I don't feel good about being a son. Now, my salary is so good, and I heard that there is a bonus at the end of the year, I want to work here for a long time. Wei Shuyu said with emotion that now the family's income is more, and even the family's food is much better. (To be continued......)
