Chapter 46: Ten Million Copies
In the early hours of the morning, the morning star had not yet appeared, and there was still a waning moon in the sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Lao Zhangtou came here early and started to build the shed and prepare all kinds of materials. On the side, a fire was directly lit.
After a while, the porridge was ready. However, it is only edible. After that, he carefully removed most of the firewood and began to simmer slowly.
According to experience, after two hours, this pot of porridge will be completely cooked. And at that time, it was almost time for many people in the capital to come out for breakfast.
However, at this moment, a plainly dressed and patched child suddenly appeared, and a package was kicked in his arms. After seeing Lao Zhangtou, he ran over directly.
"Boss, this is today's newspaper." After speaking, he took out a copy of the Dahan Daily that had just been printed from the package.
"What is a newspaper? And what is this Dahan Daily? Besides, I didn't buy it, are you mistaken? After glancing at it, Lao Zhangtou hurriedly asked.
"Make no mistake, it's free. There are nobles who pay money and give it to the people of the capital for free. It is said that there are many things recorded on it, and even the legend of the Chosen One is many. The boy replied.
Moreover, for every 10 copies given, the child will receive a penny. Don't underestimate a penny, if you are clever and diligent, you can send out thousands of copies a day.
In this way, it is a hundred copper coins a day. At the end of a month, it was a full three taels of silver. You must know that in this world, even if it is a county soldier, the income of a month is only two taels of silver.
Therefore, this kind of newspaper delivery work, even in the capital, is very sought-after. If it weren't for Lin Yang's request and the children first, these children would not have been able to take their turn at all.
"Ah, this is the legend of Gao Zu's old man. And, in addition to the text, there are pictures. This thing, really don't want money? Old Zhang said suspiciously.
"Yes, I don't really need money. This is the decision of the nobles, and you also know that those nobles naturally have their reasons when doing things. Xiao Tong said.
Soon, the boy had distributed a full hundred newspapers. It was still early, so I went back to the Mercenary Alliance again to pick up the rest of the newspapers.
Looking at these children coming and going, Shi A's hanging heart finally fell.
"Well, a million copies have been sent. It is estimated that in two hours, all the three million newspapers belonging to the capital will be distributed. When the time comes, the streets and alleys of the entire capital, restaurants everywhere, and even major families will also get this newspaper. Success or failure is all about it. Shi Ah said a little nervously.
You know, that's 10 million newspapers. In this world, the price of paper is much more expensive than in previous lives. When it comes to cost, it's about the cost of a penny.
Therefore, a total of 10 million newspapers still cost Lin Yang 10,000 taels of silver. Combined with the remuneration for the distribution of newspapers and various expenses, it costs fifteen thousand taels of silver a day.
It doesn't seem like much, but what about a year? That's more than five million taels of silver. And, more importantly, this thing costs more than five million taels a year.
You must know that even Shi A's master, Wang Yue, the leader of the Han Mercenary Alliance, only earns eight million to ten million taels a year.
Therefore, after settling this account, Shi Ah began to worry. This newspaper is good, but it costs too much.
If it weren't for Lin Yang's claim that he would see the truth in seven days, Shi A would definitely persuade him.
ā¦ā¦
Yingchuan County, in front of the portal array.
With a flash of light, a mercenary from the capital, that is, a ranger, appeared. As soon as it appeared, it quickly went to the mercenary alliance here.
This person has an iron plate tied around his waist, the iron plate is only two inches long and one inch wide, it is made of fine iron, and many lines are depicted on it, which has the effect of slightly purifying the heart and accelerating cultivation.
On the front of the iron plaque is the symbol of the Mercenary Alliance, that is, a sword. In the back, there is the appearance of this person. In this way, it is not easy to fake.
"The iron mercenary of the capital is 3679, come to meet the head of this place."
"Hey, what time is it, why would someone from the capital come here, and it's an iron-branded mercenary (second order)? If it's ordinary news, why not send a wooden card (first order) that has just entered the industry? A fat ranger who had just been woken up and was guarding the door said curiously.
"Well, there must be something big. Maybe there will be some collective tasks. When the time comes, maybe we'll be able to make a small fortune. The thin ranger on the side said excitedly.
After a while, the mercenary was picked in. Soon, the tasks in the hall were directly changed.
"Hey, the mission has changed, it's changed, hurry up and take a look." Fat Ranger said happily.
You know, these days, the kind of tasks that are short, rewarding, and safe are becoming less and less. Even if there is, it is often digested internally. Unless it can't be solved internally, it will be reluctantly placed in the taskbar above the hall for passers-by to pick it up.
In fact, this is the same as the national debt of later generations. Basically, as soon as the treasury bonds came out, they were digested by the bank's insiders. The general people who eat melons, they don't have to think about it.
Level 1 Mission: Distribute newspapers
Description: Give the newspaper to the people for free, and for every ten copies distributed, you can get a penny.
"Dare to ask this brother, what is this newspaper?" The Skinny Ranger asked directly.
"No, this is the newspaper. It's probably similar to Di Bao, except that Di Bao is specifically for officials, and the newspaper is for ordinary people. You can also take a look first, no money anyway. The Iron Ranger said lightly.
The thought of today's task gives me a bit of a headache. All the newspapers were in this inconspicuous black ring in his hand, and there were a total of 100,000 copies hidden in it.
It is said that this is because Yingchuan County has a good learning style and many literate people, so a full 100,000 copies are specially allocated. And these 100,000 copies are my task today. The thought of such a huge number gives Iron Pai a bit of a headache.
"Hey, it's so pretty. It turned out that Taizu was a real dragon emperor, no wonder he later established the Han Dynasty. "The fat ranger looks like this.
"Yes, yes, you see there is a secret about the Chosen One. Perhaps, after reading it, we will have a chance to become the Chosen One. "The thin ranger is directly shining in his eyes, as if he is looking forward to the future.
"However, it didn't seem difficult to distribute newspapers. Even small children can do it. ā
"So what are we waiting for?"
Looking at the two people who took action, Brother Tiepai couldn't help but take a breath. 100,000 copies, it doesn't seem to be very difficult.
