She grabbed Zhao Ruxi's hand excitedly: "Zhiwei, you tell me carefully what to do." ”

Zhao Ruxi told Mrs. Cui about the operation mode of the modern newspaper she knew.

"We can divide the newspaper into sections," she said. Each section has its own content and features. For example, a certain section is dedicated to publishing laws related to women, a certain copyright serializes some scripts, and a certain copyright is dedicated to teaching everyone some common sense of life or certain skills, such as cooking tips or something. ”

"You wait." Mrs. Cui hurriedly walked to the table, polished the ink and laid the paper, and looked at Zhao Ruxi, "You tell me what you just said again." ”

This time, Zhao Ruxi spoke in more detail.

The idea of running a newspaper did not come to her after she met He Yuqi, but before the printing press made it.

Therefore, her idea is not only the modern newspaper experience she understands, but also makes appropriate changes in combination with the ancient situation.

Mrs. Choi listened and took notes.

She was at a loss as to what to do, and she didn't know how to do it. As she writes more and more, she has a clearer understanding of how to run a newsstand.

"Great." After Mrs. Cui finished writing, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Ruxi's eyes reddened slightly, "Zhiwei, I thank you for all the women, you have a good idea." ”

"Master, I feel ashamed when you say this." Zhao Ruxi said, "I'm just coming up with ideas, and you're the one who has done the most for them." ”

"It's useless to have a heart, you have to have the ability. You don't know how many women you can save with one idea. Mrs. Cui sighed.

Zhao Ruxi's intelligence is the only one she has ever seen in her life.

"Zhiwei, you are smart and willing to work hard, I don't know what kind of height you have reached in this life. I just hope you don't end up marrying someone in the back house like Zhang Lu and them. That's a waste of your ingenuity. Mrs. Cui said earnestly.

Zhao Ruxi nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Master, I won't." ”

She didn't in her last life, and she definitely won't in this life. In her past life and present life, she was able to live well with her own skills, why didn't she think about being locked up in the back house? She's not that kind of character.

After the matter was over, Zhao Ruxi took his leave.

"Let's go, let's go out together. I went to the eldest princess and told her about it. Mrs. Cui also got up.

After sending Mrs. Cui to the carriage at the gate of the academy, Zhao Ruxi returned to his small courtyard and said to Qingfeng: "Let Zhaoming go and call Steward Zhou over." ”

After Zhou Chun came, she asked, "How are the preparations for the printing workshop?" ”

"Basically, it's ready." Zhou Chun said, "Fortunately, the girl found the right paper, otherwise she would have to spend time and keep looking for paper to try." ”

If you want to start a newspaper, the cost of printing must be reduced. Only by taking the path of small profits and quick sales can newspapers have a wide audience; The influence of the newspaper can be great only when the audience is wide; The influence is large, and the market can be more extensive.

It's a virtuous circle.

So after she made the printing press, she was using the printing machine to test all kinds of paper.

After all, the printing machine also has requirements for the hardness and thickness of the paper. Because of the ancient habit of writing with a soft pen, the paper is soft, absorbent, and waterproof enough, which is completely different from the paper used in the printing machine.

Not only do they want to test the suitability of the paper, but they also want to find as low-cost paper as possible, so that the cost of the newspaper can be reduced.

For this reason, Zhao Ruxi wrote a letter to Xiao Lingyan and asked him to find a suitable paper in the Ministry of Industry.

The reason why he looked for Xiao Lingyan instead of Gong Cheng was because Xiao Lingyan knew what kind of paper the printing machine was suitable for, and even if there was no ready-made one, he could ask the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to experiment and improve.

Not only does it take a lot of effort to talk to Gong Cheng, but it is also difficult to explain the origin of the printing press.

She opened the printing workshop, and she also planned to hide her identity first, so that a shopkeeper would come out and block it in front, so as to avoid a lot of trouble.

Xiao Lingyan also lived up to her belief, and after looking at the papermaking technology of the paper mill, she figured out the paper machine, which made the papermaking process much simpler, greatly improved the work efficiency, and also reduced the cost of papermaking.

To this end, he asked his subordinates to open a paper mill in his own name, selling paper machines at the same time as selling paper, hoping to reduce the price of paper and benefit the scholars of Dajin.

"So, let's choose an auspicious day for the zodiac and open it." Zhao Ruxi said.

She had planned to let the printing shop open after the New Year, and then she would find an opportunity to talk to Mrs. Cui about running a newspaper. Unexpectedly, He Yuqi gave her an opportunity.

Now that the matter of running a newspaper is on the agenda, the printing workshop must also be opened quickly. When Mrs. Cui and the others were preparing to run the newspaper, the shopkeeper of the printing workshop could automatically come to the door to solicit business.

If the printing workshop is only opened when the newspaper is ready, the time is too synchronized, which will make people suspicious.

"Yes." Zhou Chun responded.

Sure enough, on the second day, Mrs. Cui sent a message to Zhao Ruxi, saying that Princess Shangde was very interested in running a newspaper and wanted to invite Zhao Ruxi to talk.

Zhao Ruxi, accompanied by Mrs. Cui, went to visit the eldest princess of Shangde once, and told the eldest princess of Shangde some of the practices and experiences of running a newspaper in her previous life. However, when the eldest princess of Shangde invited her to join the shares, she refused.

After the farewell came out, Mrs. Cui asked Zhao Ruxi incomprehensibly: "Why do you want to refuse?" ”

Inviting Zhao Ruxi to join the shares was proposed by her. How many people want to have something to do with the eldest princess of Shangde?

Although Zhao Ruxi is Mr. Deadwood's apprentice, Mr. Deadwood has no real power after all. Not to mention that he is also older. If Zhao Ruxi can have one more backer, he will not be bullied casually.

As for the money for the shares, she is not worried that Zhao Ruxi will not be able to take it out.

Kang Shilin loves to show off the skills of his little apprentice in the academy, and Mrs. Cui has seen Zhao Ruxi's paintings with a new painting method.

The entire women's academy has seen Zhao Ruxi's paintings, except for Kang Shilin, who are not eligible to participate in the auction. So Mrs. Cui didn't know that the painting that was photographed for 25,000 taels of silver was painted by Zhao Ruxi.

But Zhao Ruxi's paintings are so good, as long as she is willing to sell her paintings, even if she is not famous now, there are still people who want to sell one or two thousand taels.

Zhao Ruxi waved his hand and said: "The matter of the nobles, how dare I, a civilian junior, reach in?" If there is anything you need my help with running a newspaper, Master, don't mention the matter of buying shares. ”

Mrs. Cui had no choice but to give up.

"That's right." She changed the subject, "In another ten days, the competitions everywhere will begin." Have you signed up? ”

Zhao Ruxi scratched his cheeks: "I haven't decided whether to sign up yet." ”

At the end of the year, the content of the competition is qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is an opportunity for talented people to make a name for themselves.

"Why don't you sign up? Your drawings are so good. Mrs. Cui said curiously.

"Well, my master said I didn't have to go."
