Xu Yuanzuo thought that it would take a few days for Yu Linglong's appointment to be heard, but in the end, her job was to take care of (charm) Zheng Yue and Master Zheng.

Who knew that the day after Chacha came back, Yu Linglong sent someone to send three manuscripts over. Each of these manuscripts tells the story of a Qingqi person from Mochizuki Tower, and describes and analyzes in detail their specialty repertoire, as well as their technical genres, so as to give people a feeling.

"Judging from the content, it is really well written, and I have the urge to watch it as a layman." Xu Yuanzuo read the manuscript, and only felt that the text of the Qinglou school book was graceful and not gorgeous, without as many allusions as scribes, and was approachable, as long as he was a literate person, he could generally understand the meaning.

"It's just a lot of terms, and I wrote a lot of long paragraphs, which is quite suspected of cheating on remuneration." Cha Cha frowned and picked out the fault. Although she can't write such an article, she can barely read it.

"Don't be afraid." Xu Yuanzuo smiled secretly: This part is the dry goods that readers can pretend to be forced to! He said, "Pay for the number of words as well, tell her, and write it like this." ”

Cha Cha smiled: "Xianggong is really generous. ”

Xu Yuanzuo shook his head and said, "The clothes of the students haven't arrived yet, don't scream." He added: "However, these three articles are obviously written by one person, and if you want to support a publication, it is a bit thin." ”

Cha Cha Daqi: "Could it be that Gongzi wants to mix many people's articles and publish a collection?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo closed his eyes slightly, and his brain turned quickly: "Call Lao Mei." ”

Cha Cha came out as he said and went to the big office to call Mei Chenggong.

Mei Chenggong knew that if Xu Yuanzuo wanted to talk to someone in the conference room, it must be a very important thing, and he was recalling all the details of the bookstore along the way, preparing to deal with Xu Yuanzuo's questions. Entering the small conference room, he saw Xu Yuanzuo leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, and he didn't dare to speak out for a while.

Xu Yuanzuo sensed someone coming in. When he opened his eyes, he was shining, and it could be seen that he was not dozing.

"Zhenzhi, have you ever been to the Qinglou?" Xu Yuanzuo asked.

Mei Chenggong was slightly stunned, and said secretly: I can't eat enough, and I still go to the Qinglou?

Seeing Mei successfully shook her head. Xu Yuanzuo glanced at Chacha, who deliberately didn't go out, and said to the two: "Before the bookstore moves, the two of you will first set up an editorial department. ”

Chacha didn't know what the "editorial department" was, and it seemed to be an important entrance alongside the "marketing department" and "customer service department". Thinking that he was a slave and maid, he was able to do things with scholars, and he couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

"The three of us, to be exact." Xu Yuanzuo thought about it, but decided to take control of the editorial department himself.

"I was in charge of deciding on the manuscript, and Zhenzhi was in charge of revising the text. Cha Cha you are responsible for counting the word count. Xu Yuanzuo roughly arranged the division of labor, and gave Mei Chenggong's three articles by Yu Linglong, and said: "The quality of the article should be at least this level, try to maintain the author's style and penmanship, and only correct sick sentences and typos." ”

Mei Chenggong glanced at the almost vernacular script: "Manager, do you want to change the vulgar words here?" ”

The vulgar character is the simplified Chinese character of later generations, and the most typical is the word "group". If you are juxtaposed, it is a vulgar word; The king is the sheep. is orthodox. There was once a certain student who wrote the vulgar character "group" during the exam, and was transferred from Xie Yuan to the bottom of the list by the main exam. For this reason, he was angry, and after winning the Jinshi, he also brought the lawsuit to the emperor.

"Don't change the vulgar words." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Anyway, this thing is just entertainment." ”

Mei Chenggong quickly read these three plain manuscripts, and wondered: "Manager, let's just print these?" To whom? ”

"For those who have nothing to do." Xu Yuanzuo smiled confidently: "And we still have to collect money." ”

Mei Chenggong was still puzzled, and said secretly: There are also people who pay for this kind of article? It is neither a novel, nor a literary art. Who would buy this nonsense and no idea?

Xu Yuanzuo sorted out his thoughts in the contemplation of closing his eyes just now, first took a piece of paper, and wrote four words on the right:

"Quyuan Miscellaneous Tales"!

"I'm going to make a journal text and send it as regularly as possible." Xu Yuanzuo felt that since he was creating the originator of the periodical. Then occasionally it can't be released on time, and it's not a big problem, and it should be forgiven by history.

"All allusions, anecdotes, techniques, and evaluations about opera, poetry, and miscellaneous dramas are posted on this." Xu Yuanzuo said: "There are about ten articles published in each issue, about 10,000 words are enough. ”

The upper limit of the cost of such a manuscript fee is ten taels, and the cost of each copy will not exceed eleven taels after counting the paper ink and labor.

"It can be printed with movable type on wood to reduce costs." Xu Yuanzuo added.

Mei Chenggong listened quietly, and printed the appearance of a book in her mind, with "Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan" on the cover, but there were few pages in it, which was so light and thin that it was not like words.

Xu Yuanzuo's next words broke Mei Chenggong's illusion: "Use lighter and thinner paper, don't cover it, don't pack it in threads, a whole side of large paper, fold it after printing." ”

At this time, if the paper and ink are printed on both sides, it is easy to produce the phenomenon of ink penetrating the back of the paper, so that it will affect the reading. Even for books, only one side is printed, and then the nail line is folded in half, so that it becomes double-sided.

And Xu Yuanzuo is even simpler, he doesn't even need to bind, just the paper is folded, which is the prototype of the newspaper.

"Fifty dollars each."

It is about one penny and five cents of silver, and it fluctuates slightly.

- Only crazy people will buy it!

Mei Chenggong took a secret breath and said secretly in her heart.

"The more this newspaper is printed, the lower the cost of each copy...... Xu Yuanzuo calculated in his heart: the cost of printing one copy is ten taels, and the typesetting cost is five yuan. If 100 copies are printed, the cost of each copy is evenly spread by one percent. However, it doesn't make sense to print too much, but it will appear cheap and not worth the price on the list price.

Speaking of which, if a simple newspaper with 10,000 words in later generations was sold for twenty or thirty yuan, it was indeed suspected of robbery.

However, this era is the era of word worship, and black and white have supreme magic, and it is natural that the price should be higher.

Xu Yuanzuo had never been in contact with the publishing industry, but after calculating it in his mind at this time, he also felt that the cost was still too high, so he thought of the grading of the manuscript fee, knocked on the manuscript on the table, and said: "This is a special manuscript, so the manuscript fee price is higher." Chacha, you can pass on the manuscript request, and the manuscript fee is between 100 words and 100 articles, depending on the quality of the manuscript. ”

Chacha's eyes widened, and she asked, "Go to Qinglou to invite similar manuscripts?" ”

"Well, you can have different opinions on the same thing." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Even the miscellaneous notes of life can be published, but the remuneration may not be high." ”

When it comes to the self-promotion of practitioners, not only should they not be paid, but they should also be charged platform fees and advertising fees!

Cha Cha seemed to understand or not, and asked again, "Then can I write?" ”

"Of course, anyone can write, and you are welcome to write it." Xu Yuanzuo showed a meaningful smile: "It's just that it may not be adopted." ”

Cha Cha felt that she was being teased, and she was immediately frustrated. (To be continued......)
