446 Everything is ready

In fact, once a woman is serious, she is also very efficient.

Liu Yuan thought that Li Lizhen would have to wait for at least a few days, but he didn't expect that this noble and beautiful princess would go to the headquarters of Chang'an Newspaper to meet Liu Yuan the next day, although she did not finish writing the whole story of A Chinese Ghost Story, but she did a great job of completing Liu Yuan's request, that is, writing the story to the key point where Ning Caichen was hiding in the water tank and was about to hold back.

"Liu Yuan, you have read this draft, how is it? Is it feasible? Li Lizhi said nervously.

"Good!" Liu Yuan couldn't help but praise: "The writing is like a flower, the writing is like flowing water, the plot is clear, it is easy to read, it is rare and rare, I didn't expect the princess to have such a talent, it really makes Liu embarrassed." ”

More than 3,000 words, the length is not small, Liu Yuan prepared the first Chang'an newspaper is three of four sizes, considering that the ancient words need to be a little bigger, these more than 3,000 words are equivalent to a small half of the page, Li Lizhi writes well, the writing can even be said to be a little old and spicy, and there is no need to polish at all, which makes Liu Yuan look at Li Lizhi even more.

"What's the matter, you've won the prize." Hearing Liu Yuan's praise, Li Lizhi smiled slightly and responded modestly.

In fact, after writing, I specially asked for my own teacher, that is, Lu Deming of the Eighteen Studies, Lu Deming did not disappoint Li Liqian, not only pointed out the deficiencies, but also personally wrote for Li Lizhi to polish, Lu Deming wrote a lot of documents and notices to appease the people when he was young, the common people, not much literacy, so the things written are as easy to understand as possible, and the articles written by him are naturally very suitable for Liu Yuan's appetite.

The credit of the gentleman was taken by herself, Li Lizhi was a little embarrassed, it was not good, as soon as she saw Liu Yuan's admiring look and heard the beautiful words, her mouth moved, and she didn't say anything after that.

Take it for yourself, take it for yourself. Anyway, Mr. said that he can't say that he has helped, so it's okay, with Liu Yuan's approval, his workload will increase in the future, and Liu Yuan can also rest assured that he will write those stories, so that he can hear a good and complete story for the first time, and he doesn't have to be like other people to solve his doubts. Then I have to wait for the next serialization.

It's not bad to get Liu Yuan's affirmation and trust, now Li Lizhen can participate in the core work of Chang'an Daily, Liu Yuan didn't even keep the most secret movable type printing secret from Li Liqin, let Li Lizhen visit, of course. Li Lizhi also promised with interest: I will never tell what I see here.

When she saw the words carved out of clay, she moved freely. It's not just the low cost. The collection and arrangement are very simple, and they can be recycled, and it is very convenient, and she finally learned that her Jinghua study was just starting to lose to Moyun study, and Liu Yuan was in the cost here, so it was very well controlled. Even if the selling price is only half of his own, his profit is higher than his own, how can he fight with him? What's more, the quality and typography are better than their own, and they are really fighting. It's a complete failure.

Knowing that this movable type printing was invented by Liu Yuan, Li Lizhen's gaze at Liu Yuan became strange, this Liu Yuan, it seems to be amazing, omnipotent, everything is like divine help, Liu Yuan glanced at Li Lizhen at the same time, Li Lizhen's gaze at Liu Yuan also became complicated.

A man with ability, no matter when, is so stylish and eye-catching.

After Liu Yuan was honest with Li Lizhen, it was obvious that the relationship between the two had become a lot closer, the relationship between the two, the business partners who had been vaguely promoted to friends, Liu Yuan looked at people very accurately, he firmly believed that Li Lizhen was reliable, by no means the kind of ungrateful person, who would not cross the river and draw the board, and would not betray his secrets.

Is it just a small study? Old said, Liu Yuan really doesn't look down on this profit, in fact, it is just to pass the time, just to make it a long stream, if the princess wants to draw the board in the East River, Liu Yuan will not be heartbroken, give up a little bit of interests, and recognize a person is not bad.

The three of them were discussing how to arrange the cards, and when to illustrate, a strong voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Princess, someone in the Zhao Guogong Mansion asks to see you." ”

Due to the secrecy involved, the guards were not allowed to enter the inner chamber, but were only guarded outside.

"Okay, I'll be out of the palace right away." Li Li replied and walked outside, and Liu Yuan followed behind to see what was going on.

"The little one is the princess." An old subordinate of Long Zhong immediately saluted when he saw Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi hurriedly said: "Uncle Tong, please get up, no need to be polite." ”

This person's name is Atong, he is the house slave of the eldest grandson family, and was later given the surname of the eldest grandson, although he is just a subordinate, but he is the old man of the eldest grandson family, and the first generation is dedicated to the eldest grandson family, and he has taken care of the eldest grandson brothers and sisters since he was a child, like an elder, even the eldest grandson queen saw him, and she had to call him "Uncle Tong", Li Lizhi saw that it was him, and hurriedly asked him to get up.

"The princess has rarely been to the Guogong Mansion recently, and the lady is very worried, and she is still talking about it today."

"Aunt Lao is worried, and I will talk to my aunt when I have time."

The marriage has been withdrawn, and her current identity is a little embarrassing, so why is Li Lizhen embarrassed to go?

The eldest grandson Atong took out a letter from his arms, presented it to Li Lizhi with both hands, and said respectfully: "Princess, this letter was sent to the princess by the lord to the villain." ”

"Oh, what did my uncle say?"

"The master said, this article is very well written, very brilliant, very good, if you really publish that newspaper, don't forget to send a copy to the master."

"Yes, if it is published, Changle will definitely send it to my uncle." Li Lizhi said with a smile.

After the eldest grandson Atong left, Li Lizhen turned around and smiled at Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan was also relieved, it was obvious that the eldest grandson Wuji's statement was a tacit consent for Liu Yuan to make the heroic deeds of the eldest grandson Chong public, so that all the obstacles in the first issue of Chang'an Daily have been cleared, as long as the layout is arranged and the newspaper is printed, you can test the water immediately, so as to take the most solid step.

Liu Yuan and Li Lizhi nodded to each other very tacitly, and then went back to the house together, began to sort out and proofread the manuscript, and began to work on typesetting.

"Old Master Gu, this is the title, the words have to be bigger"

"Yes. Owner, I'll fix it right away"

"Old Master Gu, you see, it's a little monotonous here, how about adding a lady picture?"

"Host, listen to you"

"Well, there's a typo here, Old Master Gu."

"Oh, princess, how dare I bother you. Just let the little ones come. ”

"Old Master Gu"

While inspecting, Liu Yuan kept picking out faults and improprieties, and Li Lizhi was full of enthusiasm and did it herself, pointing out the inappropriateness from time to time with the carefulness of women. The old elder brother who integrates typemaking, typesetting, and art was pointed out by the two, but he was not bored at all. The old face smiled like a flower. looked hard-working, and was a little moved when he saw Liu Yuan.

Now working for Liu Yuan, he can give full play to his strengths and do what he likes, with a high monthly salary and good welfare, Liu Yuan also gives him enough trust and power. Lao Gu is naturally working hard, he was originally a person who pursues perfection, and now the owner does not hesitate to let him do a good job, and can he still be lazy? Besides, I can serve such a noble and beautiful princess. It's just a blessing from a few body cultivations.

By the way, in the old ancient seals, only those famous Confucian sages can leave their names on the book, although this is a newspaper, but their names can be left on it, isn't this on par with the sages? The ancestral tomb is smoking, and it really says that there is light on the face.

According to his memory, according to the experience of later newspapers, Liu Yuan classified the information, put the important information in a conspicuous place, and everyone gathered firewood and flames, although the experience was insufficient, but after three days of hard work, the editions were finally arranged.

"Owner, there's a small piece of space here, why don't you draw another illustration for the small one?" No matter how well the design is, it is not perfect, and when all the articles are placed on the printing board, on the last page, there is a blank space the size of a child's palm, and the old master Gu took the initiative to ask Yingdao.

"No, I have an idea." After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he turned his head to Li Lizhen and said, "Princess, do you want to have a small promotion?" ”

"What little promotion?" Li Lizhi asked curiously.

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "It's very simple, print a Jinghua study logo here, make an explanation, if you cut this icon down, you can carry this icon to Jinghua study to pick a book at will, nine percent discount, I think, this cheap is still many people like to take advantage, if you agree, Liu is willing to share this expense with you, the books you sell, Mo Yun also let the profit half of the profit." ”

"That's a brilliant plan, so do what you say." Li Lizhen is also a smart woman, and she immediately agreed when she heard this.

It's very simple, the books of Jinghua Study, that is, nine percent off, and more than other books, can further expand the popularity of Jinghua Study, and give another heavy blow to other hard-working books, besides, Liu Yuan also took the initiative to bear half of the cost, why not do it.

Liu Yuan smiled, turned his head and said to Master Gu: "Master Gu, draw a emblem of Jinghua Study, and then do what we said just now." ”

"Okay, owner, the little one will do it right away."

The typesetting was finally completed, Liu Yuan took a long breath, Li Lizhi looked at the old master who was skillfully busy, thought for a while, twisted and said to Liu Yuan: "Liu Yuan, now that the layout is finally finished, how many copies are you going to print?" ”

"Three thousand"

"How much does it cost?"

"The tentative price of each copy is 10 wen, and after about five to 10 issues, it will rise to 15 wen per copy." Liu Yuan planned it as soon as he got up.

"Oh", Li Li responded, but her little brows quickly wrinkled slightly: "One ten, ten hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one thousand, three thousand is thirty thousand, one or two thousand, then, isn't there only thirty taels here?" ”

After working so hard for so long, only thirty taels of silver?

As soon as this amount of money was calculated, Li Lizhen's enthusiasm dropped a lot all of a sudden, not to mention that the thirty taels still had to pay for manuscript fees, labor, paper, ink, etc., and it was estimated that less than half of them were left, and so many people would have to share it by then.

Looking at Li Liqian's face, Liu Yuan immediately guessed what she was thinking, and smiled slightly: Well, you have to instill in her the way of management, so that she can muster up her confidence again. (To be continued......)
