Changsun Chong got Li Er's approval, so he quickly established the editorial department of Datang Daily to complete the first issue of Datang Daily as soon as possible. The eldest grandson Chong was idle, and finally had something to do, so he was naturally very happy.

As an editor, Changsun Chong uses a pen name of "Fengfu Jushi", which is better than using his life, sometimes good and sometimes bad, that is all about Fengfu Jushi, and it can't affect Changsun Chong's life.

He's not the only stooge, so I'm going to have to find a few more! The eldest grandson Chong was working on Kong Yingda, and asked Kong Yingda to write a short article on education; Then go to Xiao Yu and re-explain the intention. Now that there is something, of course I have to come out and help! Otherwise, he wouldn't have given him so many good things in vain on weekdays!

Xiao Yu was a little hesitant at first, but when she learned that this was allowed by His Majesty, she readily agreed, and by the way, she also agreed to prepare a poem.

The two Great Buddhas have been found, and it is time to find a few stinkers.

The eldest grandson Chong called to play with the big and small, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuliang now has a position, and he has to serve in the army every day, but Cheng Chubi is idle, count one, this person is strong, together with Li Yexu, Duan Qiang, Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu, these five people are reporters. These people don't care about it for now, they can't sit still, and it's okay to go out for a walk.

Chang'an City is so big, give them a certain amount of funds, recruit informants, and once they have a major time, they can quickly notify reporters.

As for the editor candidate, Xiao Rui is one, this kid is newly married, and it is time to come out and move his muscles. I was an idle official in the Ministry of Rites all day, and I had nothing to do, so I was seconded. Wei Shuyu, Qin Huaiyu, and his eldest grandson Chong are the editors, who are responsible for processing articles according to the information obtained by reporters.

The eldest grandson is responsible for external relations, such as advertising, and the payment of salaries to contributors.

The eldest grandson Chong called the brothers over. After saying this, everyone felt very interested and agreed to help. When we get on track, we will continue to recruit people from all walks of life.

The eldest grandson rushed out the money and took out a thousand taels of silver as a fund, he did not spend money in vain, he wanted to advertise on it, and then Datang Daily would be self-financing.

Since it was the first time, Changsun Chong made overall arrangements. Said: "Daily newspapers, divided into news, poetry, biography, health. advertising, as well as weather conditions. These six parts. The news part will be handed over to the third brother of the Cheng family. You are responsible for gathering news for tomorrow or the last few days; Li Yexu, what about you, you are in charge of the biography part, you are responsible for interviewing your grandfather Li Jing and asking him to tell some of the battles that he was more impressed; Poetry. Here I have received a poem; As for health preservation, it's hot now, Brother Duan, you are responsible for finding some tips to prevent heat stroke, you don't know. You can go back and ask the Imperial Doctor, and make sure it's correct; I'm in charge of advertising and weather forecasts. As for Brother Wei, Brother Qin, and Xiao Rui, your writing style is relatively good, and you are responsible for sorting out and polishing it according to the information collected by the reporter, and copying it on the designed large paper, this is the first version, and you will take it to Your Majesty for review. If there is no forbidden language, it can be printed and distributed. What questions do you have about what I said? ”

"Uncle, we all have official positions now, and I don't think you can use your real name for the freedom of speech you just mentioned, otherwise it will lead to speculation." Li Yexu suggested.

"This suggestion is good, we all use pen names, go back and think about it, and give yourself a high-end and high-grade pen name." Changsun Chong agreed.

Wei Shuyu thought it was very interesting and said, "Brother Chongxian, I heard what you just said, there is still a reward, what does this mean?" ”

"It's very simple, we have submissions here, such as a poem and a short essay that I got today, and they are not obligated to write it for us, so we have to pay for it. In other words, as long as it is well written and can be published, it will be paid. ”

"Then everyone is a pen name, how to distribute the manuscript fee?" Qin Huaiyu was thinking about this.

"It's very simple, the pen name is external, but we are insiders, we can know who they are, and of course it's good to pay for the post."

"I see!"

"Is there anything else you don't understand?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

"Not yet!"

"Let's get moving!"

On the afternoon of the second day, several people got together again, sorted out the information they had obtained, and then copied it on a piece of paper two and a half feet long and one and a half feet wide. For the sake of beauty, Changsun Chong also painted some patterns on it.

Changsun Chong took the nearest newspaper to the Taiji Palace, and after Li Er saw it, he read it on it and approved it. Only newspapers personally approved by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can print hairstyles, otherwise it is a felony! This first draft, which was reviewed by Li Er, will be archived.

The eldest grandson Chong got Li Er's approval, and began to have people typeset and print. It was the first time that the printing house took on such a fellow, and it was a bit of a hurry, but it was still printed before dark, a full five thousand copies.

The eldest grandson Chong took ten copies and brought them to the palace, and sold all the rest outside.

I only heard early in the morning, and the crisp voice of the child selling newspapers sounded: "Selling newspapers, selling newspapers Datang Daily, not only the articles of Confucius's descendants, but also the analysis of the Tang Dynasty military gods; If you want to go out, you need it even more, but there is the weather conditions observed by Qin Tianjian in the next three days in the hot summer, and you need to maintain your health.

For a while, the streets and alleys were filled with the cheerful voices of these children.

Everyone wondered, what were these children in their blankets? Newspaper? What is this again?

"Hey, boy, you're here"

"Childe, this is a newspaper, three cents a copy, guaranteed to be worth the money!" The newsboy replied.

"If you want to show me, I'll pay!"

"No, you pay first, I'll show you later, in case it's finished, if you don't pay, I'm not at a loss!" Selling three newspapers earns one penny, and each person can receive a hundred copies, which is more than 30 yuan, which is much more profitable than doing small jobs, and making money in one day is enough for the family to eat.

"Oh, you kid!"

"To buy it or not to buy it?" The newsboy is not happy, the person in front of him is well dressed, but he is very small, isn't it just three pennies!

"Come here, boy, give me a copy!" The two of them, one who was eating breakfast, beckoned and said, and took out five cents.

"Sir, as long as you have three pennies, you give too much." The newsboy took three pennies and gave a newspaper.

"Take it, it's a bounty for you!"

When the newsboy heard this, he smiled, he didn't expect that there would be a reward, and said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle, for the reward!" ”

"Hey, don't go, give me a copy!" The boy just now saw that there were dense words on it from a distance, so he took out three pennies to buy it.

Five thousand newspapers, fifty newsboys, divided into different areas, were sold out in less than an hour. The newsboys went to pay with a lot of copper coins to get today's wages.

People who bought newspapers felt that these three cents were very valuable, not only the articles and poems written by Confucianism, but also the war descriptions of the god of war, which were also very exciting. Even more practical are the health tips and weather forecasts above.

Heck, they are more curious about the advertisement, as long as they read the newspaper, they all remember the above advertisement, such as the watermelon and vegetables of Fu Ji, and the glazed products of Babaoxuan; There are also products from the furniture paper mill; There is also a recently opened teahouse. Most of them are Changsun Chong or his related industries.

For a while, the business of these stores improved by 30%, and all the funds paid were recovered. There are also two notices on this newspaper, one is to solicit manuscripts, and the other is to advertise for rent!

Some people see the call for papers, if their articles are written on it, then there must be a lot of people who see them, and the reputation of coming and going will not go up?

Some other businessmen saw the magic of advertising and came to discuss advertising.

Not to mention the excitement outside, the court saw the newspaper brought by Changsun Chong, and it set off waves.

Everyone has seen that this morning is talking about Datang Daily, and when they saw the poems of Kong Yingda and Xiao Yu, they were very envious, and they said that they could also write some articles for publication.

Changsun Chong said with a smile: "Of course, all ministers can contribute, and we will publish it according to the actual situation." There is also a manuscript fee, Master Kong got a manuscript fee of 20 taels of silver this time, although it is not much, but it is also a piece of the heart of the editorial department of Datang Daily of Datang Daily. ”

Cheng Yanjin saw that it was Li Jing who was interviewed, glared at the eldest grandson, and said: "Lao Tzu has more than 100 battles, big and small, come to interview me in the second issue, and I will wait at home tomorrow afternoon!" ”

The eldest grandson Chong was so choked by Cheng Jin that he couldn't speak, how could anyone be like this, he volunteered to score the occasion and place!

"Stinky and shameless, how can you be like yourself. Reporters can interview whomever they want, and you can't scare people with nonsense. Li Ji said disdainfully.

Cheng Yanjin was not convinced, and said: "Anyway, my son is also a reporter, so let him interview me!" If you don't let Lao Tzu board it, I will break his legs. ”

"Uncle Cheng is wise and martial, superior in force, intelligent, and a fierce general, and the subject of our interview. The little nephew will arrange an interview with the director, but the words should be said in the front, and when the story is told, it can be a little exaggerated, but it cannot deviate from the facts, and our editorial department will also revise it according to the appropriate situation! "Changsun Chong didn't believe in the character of this old thing, and was worried that he was talking nonsense.

"Lao Tzu has more than 100 battles, all of them are real, not mixed with a little fake, you kid speak, bury people." Cheng Yanjin's eyes widened, feeling that Changsun Chong was despising him.

"Hehe, the little nephew knows, just a reminder!" The eldest grandson Chong is taking precautions, otherwise a good interview is estimated to be able to praise Cheng Biting Jin as a flower.

"Just look at it, with my name as Lao Cheng, your newspaper can be sold as soon as possible." Cheng Yanjin said proudly, he has always been so domineering, but fortunately, everyone is an acquaintance, and everyone doesn't care about him. (To be continued......)
