Zhao Lei held the first issue of the Bianjing News in the Great Song Dynasty and carefully read it to Tian Lan, Bai Xinlan, Xiao Ruoruo and Xiaocui and other women around him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ\\。 qΒ5。 c0m//

The first newspaper of the Great Song Dynasty, Bianjing News, officially appeared and began to work in just a few days under the attention of Zhao Lei and Ye Qingchen, and this four-page newspaper recruited more than 300 unsuccessful scholars to write the main writers, and the content of this first newspaper was more than 2,000 copies of Zhao Lei and Ye Qingchen from more than 300 scholars. The selected ones not only involve the political affairs of the imperial court, but also cover astronomy and geography, hundreds of schools of thought, and interesting things in the countryside, and they can be said to be the people of all walks of life in the Great Song Dynasty, and on the first day of sale today, more than 100,000 copies were sold.

"This newspaper sells for five dollars, which is too cheap, right?" Tian Lan looked at the newspaper in Zhao Lei's hand and sighed at the cheapness of this kind of newspaper.

"Cheap! Didn't my sister listen to the officials! The Bianjing News is a daily magazine, which runs every day, five big coins a day, and one hundred and fifty big coins a month, nearly two dollars of silver. Bai Xinlan heard Tian Lan's words and explained with a smile.

"Yes! This thing must be very profitable, and when I went out on the street today, a lot of people were talking about this newspaper! I heard that hundreds of thousands of copies were sold in one day today! Xiao Ruoruo was also chirping there.

"The newspaper actually doesn't make much money, running this newspaper, you need to raise too many people, and the cost of the newspaper is not low, a newspaper deducts the cost, at most a big money, a month is thirty big money, it is more than three points of silver, three months only a penny of silver, but if the sales are good, it is another matter. Only one million copies of this first issue of the newspaper were printed, and except for 200,000 copies left for Bianjing, the others were divided into various prefectures and counties in the Great Song Dynasty, and if the sales were good, the number of prints would be increased, and if it could sell more than 10 million copies. It's really profitable! Zhao Lei explained carefully to the woman next to him.

"This is not to make money, a newspaper is thirty big dollars a month, one million copies is nearly forty thousand taels of silver, if you can sell ten million copies, you can earn 400,000 a month, although it is much less than the two million a month of the New Army Logistics Yamen, but at least it has earned a lot for the Third Division Yamen, Ye Qingchen is really an old fox, and he can rob money faster than anyone else!" When Bai Xinlan heard Zhao Lei's words, she immediately said in surprise.

"Alright. You think 10 million copies are so easy to sell! I estimate that the newspaper sells a maximum of two million copies, and there are not so many readers in the Great Song Dynasty, and one newspaper is enough for many people to read. Zhao Lei interrupted the surprised discussion of several women and said.

"Two million copies, and 80,000 taels a month, is already very good. After all, a lot of unsuccessful scholars have been arranged, and the silver that was picked up for nothing, Ye Qingchen is probably already snickering. Tian Lan said very dissatisfied, several women in the Zhao Mansion knew that Zhao Lei had a lot of worries about the newspaper, but there was nothing good in the end. How can you not be angry!

……

Everything was just like Zhao Lei's speculation, when the first Bianjing News newspaper was published, and the conditions for private newspapers and the power of the newspaper yamen were stated on it. All kinds of tabloids have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, there are countless tabloids in Bianjing alone, what Bianjing Morning Post, Bianjing Evening News, Kaifeng Daily, Beijing Daily, and so on dozens of newspapers, and the Great Song Dynasty all over the Jiangnan News, Hebei News, Shuzhong News is countless, Bianjing thousands of scholars are not only all divided by newspaper businessmen, but also those who are scholars, the popularity of newspapers has driven the printing industry and the paper industry, Bianjing Luoyang paper is expensive for a while, and the imperial court collects a lot of taxes and newspaper income.

"Sir. Outside the house, a Meishan scholar Tian Wei asked to see! Just when Zhao Lei finally secretly floated for a long time and chatted with several ladies in the study, Hou Shan suddenly reported outside the door.

"Tian Wei! The relatives and friends of the concubine's family, but distant relatives, came last time, I guess the officials are not impressed! The one in his forties, the skinny one! When Tian Lan heard Hou Shan's words, he immediately said to Zhao Lei.

What is he here for! Zhao Lei took Tian Lan suspiciously to meet this distant relative of the Tian family who was very thin in the front hall.

"Tian Wei has seen adults!" Tian Wei, a distant relative of the Tian family who is in his forties and looks loyal, said to Zhao Lei respectfully.

"It's all a family, why be so polite! Come on, serve tea! Zhao Lei waved his hand to let Tian Wei sit down and said to the maid who was waiting.

Tian Wei is not a child of a family like Wang Su and Lu Gongxuan, he was born poor, and he does not have the amazing talent of Liu Yong, he is loyal and honest, and he has seen very little in the world, so looking at Zhao Lei, a second-class master, he can't let go of his hands and feet, and seeing Zhao Lei so polite, he is even more at a loss.

"I don't know why Brother Tian has time to come to Zhao Mansion?" As Tian Wei's relative, although he is a distant relative, he can't be divided into big or small, Tian Lan saw Tian Wei at a loss, and said to Tian Wei very kindly.

"This?" Hearing the words of Tian Lan, a familiar person, Tian Wei relaxed a lot nervously, and looked at Zhao Lei and said without saying anything.

"It's all your own people, what do you have to say directly?" Zhao Lei said unceremoniously to the middle-aged gentleman in front of him, who was twice his age.

"That's right, Lord Zhao, in the next was also a down-and-out scholar who lived in Bianjing, it was the adult who proposed to set up a newspaper, so he was valued by the Bianjing News, and now he is the chief writer of the Bianjing News, but the Bianjing News now has nearly 500 down-and-out scholars, and at least 500 articles are from these down-and-out scholars every day, but the four-page Bianjing News can only publish less than 100 articles, and the others are either published in the next issue, or thrown away as garbage, and it just so happens that many newspapers have become eight-page newspapers now. Therefore, we hope that the Bianjing News will also be changed to eight editions, so that more scholars and more articles can be used, and the people can be better educated! As soon as Tian Wei spoke, his nervousness disappeared at all, blurted out, and carefully explained the purpose of coming here to Zhao Lei.

Hearing Tian Wei's words, Zhao Lei was slightly stunned, and asked casually and suspiciously: "Regarding the supplement of the Bianjing News, you should find the newspaper yamen!" Why did you come here? ”

Hearing Zhao Lei's question, Tian Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Zhao, it's not that we haven't looked for the newspaper yamen, but the officials of the newspaper yamen don't allow it at all, and they all shirk the lack of this power after looking for it several times, saying that this newspaper is run by you and the third secretary of the three divisions, Lord Ye, and they don't want to change it rashly, so they came to ask for help from the Bianjing News Newspaper." ”

Zhao Lei lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said calmly to Tian Wei: "This official will think about it and give you an answer in a few days." ”

Tian Wei saw the teacup that Zhao Lei picked up and didn't drink, and thought that today's task had been accomplished, so he immediately took his leave and left Zhao's mansion.

"Official! Will you accede to Tian Wei's request? Seeing Tian Wei leaving, Tian Lan immediately asked Zhao Lei Jiaojiao.

"It doesn't matter, whether the Bianjing News is the fourth or eighth edition, there is no difference at all, and it is not bad to communicate with Ye Qingchen's old fox, after all, he is now the envoy of the three divisions, the prime minister of Ji Province (another name for the three divisions), ranking in the position of the ruler, and King Meng, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Zhang Shixun, Yan Shu, Song Shou and Cai Qi, the same eight major ministers, the most important thing is that he is the henchman of the official Zhao Zhen, the most loyal pro-emperor faction in the imperial court, get closer to him, and not afraid of official taboos!" Zhao Lei pondered and explained to Tian Lan.

"Never!" As soon as Zhao Lei's words landed, a voice that made Zhao Lei feel familiar suddenly came from the side hall.

Zhao Lei turned his head in surprise, and sure enough, a familiar figure walked over from the side hall.

"Brother Mingyun! When did you come to Bianjing, don't let me know! Zhao Lei saw Su Xun coming from the side hall, and greeted him in surprise and said loudly.

"I came yesterday, my family is now living with relatives and friends, I just came to look for you, and Hou Shan, the official of Zhao Mansion, said that you were meeting guests, so I listened to it in the side hall!" Su Xun and Zhao Lei are also old friends, and when they arrived at Zhao's mansion, they were unceremoniously, sat on the seat just before Tian Wei, picked up the tea that Tian Wei had not touched, and said to Zhao Lei after drinking it all.

"Since Brother Mingyun has heard it, why did he stop me from going to see Lord Ye?" Zhao Lei immediately said in confusion what Su Xun had stopped him just now.

"Brother Sanshi is now a blind eye! Have you ever wondered what will happen to you if the fourth page of the Bianjing News becomes the eighth page? Su Xun sighed bitterly and said to Zhao Lei.

"It shouldn't have any effect! It's just the Bianjing News, it's under the management of the newspaper yamen, even if there is anything wrong, it won't find me! Zhao Lei asked Su Xun in confusion.

"Brother Sanshi is confused! When I first came to Bianjing, I knew that due to the emergence of newspapers, the price of Bianjing paper has risen by half, and once the Bianjing News has changed from four pages to eight pages, the cost will more than double, but the Bianjing News is more expensive than other newspapers, and if the price is doubled, the number of people who buy the Bianjing News will definitely be reduced in large numbers, and in this way, the Bianjing News will not be able to make ends meet, and it will soon be unable to feed so many unsuccessful scholars. Once the Bianjing News can't support the fallen scholars, Brother Sanshi will inevitably take on a responsibility! That's why I stopped Brother Sanshi from looking for Ye Qingchen, someone must have something to deal with Brother Sanshi in this matter! Su Xun carefully explained the cause and effect of the matter to Zhao Lei.

"I see, but does Brother Mingyun think this little thing can deal with me?" After Zhao Lei suddenly realized, he immediately said to Su Xun proudly.

"The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by ants**! Brother Sanshi can rise to the top in the officialdom, relying on the trust of the official family, if Brother Sanshi does a few things wrong, he will lose the trust of the official family, Brother Sanshi at that time still has this confidence and can't deal with you with trivial things! Looking at the proud Zhao Lei, Su Xun immediately persuaded him to strike.

"I will never do anything wrong, and I am not afraid of doing anything wrong, if I don't even have this self-confidence, why come to Bianjing to go to the troubled waters of officialdom!" Zhao Lei still said confidently and proudly.

With the obsessed Zhao Lei, Su Xun regretted and admired, and instead of persuading, he asked Zhao Lei how to deal with this matter.
