Time flies!

After having another master, Yan Liqiang's cultivation in the deer park also became more intense and hard, and in the days in the deer garden, in addition to eating, sleeping and practicing, Yan Liqiang did not have any half a minute of leisure every day.

Not only is Yan Liqiang in a state of tension every day in reality, even in the Heavenly Dao God Realm, it is the same, but even so, Yan Liqiang will still leave Luyuan every three days, return to the imperial capital, meet with Fang Beidou, Hu Haihe and others, and discuss the various problems that need to be solved when the first newspaper is published.

During this period, Yan Liqiang also went to see Xu Enda a few times, Xu Enda's injury is getting better day by day, when Yan Liqiang went for the second time, Xu Enda could even get out of bed and walk around, and the young people in the little five began to help in the Zhuangzi on the side of Longqi Mountain under Fang Beidou's arrangement.

Hu Haihe asked his friends in the imperial capital to keep an eye on Guo Si's whereabouts, but he didn't know if that Guo Si knew that he had committed an accident and escaped from the imperial capital, and there was no news.

Several writers hired by the newspaper were quickly in place, and Yan Liqiang even presided over the interview himself......

The sources that Hu Haihe found in the imperial capital also began to provide Hu Haihe with all kinds of information one after another......

After a few tinkering, some of the printing tools originally used to print books in the workshop were also improved and adjusted according to Yan Liqiang's requirements, and became more suitable for the printing of newspaper layouts.

On the evening of June 30, the 13th year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, the printing workshop in the Zhuangzi of Longqi Mountain was brightly lit, and Yan Liqiang, Fang Beidou and other cadres widened their eyes one by one, holding their breath, looking at the cut gray linen paper, in the two iron trapboards with good plates and good ink, they passed by, pressed, and then in the blink of an eye, the front and back of the bare paper were suddenly covered with words......

"Boss, this time, it's okay, there is absolutely no problem...... "The master father in the printing workshop respectfully handed the first printed newspaper to Yan Liqiang.

Since noon today, the printing workshop has been tinkering with this matter, and it has been tried several times before, because the craftsmen in the workshop have printed such a large paper for the first time, and the layout of a newspaper after unfolding is almost seven or eight times larger than that of an ordinary book, and the printed newspaper has more or less a little problem, but then several craftsmen in the workshop are constantly adjusting the movable type and typesetting, and after trying it a few times, when Yan Liqiang came to the printing workshop after dark, the craftsmen in the printing workshop finally took out the first printed newspaper and took it out。

The newspaper is held in the hand, light and fluttering, there is no sense of heaviness that creates history, the gray linen paper used to print the newspaper is still a little different from the newsprint of the previous life, and the quality of movable type printing is not as good as the publications that Yan Liqiang saw in the previous life, and there are no fresh pictures, but the thing in this hand is indeed a newspaper, with clear handwriting, there is a masthead, there is a date, there are various news and news in each page, and there are no errors or omissions in the layout and engraving of the whole newspaper.

The masthead on the front of the newspaper is a few big characters - Han Imperial Times.

Below the masthead is the time when the newspaper is ready to be officially published, which is tomorrow - July 1, 13th year of the Yuan Ping of the Han Empire.

Below this time, there is also a line of embossed small characters, which is the purpose of the newspaper of the Han Imperial Times - to connect the four parties, communicate news, not party or selfish, and be readable and appreciated.

On the front page of the newspaper, there was only a row of bold font with a single message on it: Warm congratulations on the launch of the Han Imperial Times today.

In addition to the front page, there were other pages that published some of the news that Yan Liqiang had just collected.

In the current affairs edition, there is the original notice that the household department is preparing to recruit craftsmen to rebuild the drainage culvert in the northern city of the imperial capital, as well as the appointment and dismissal changes of the latest assassin history of the two states of the Han Empire.

On the Minsheng Edition, there is the news of the newly opened Yunfeng rice shop in Dijing Tonghuifang, the new opening of the Yunfeng rice store, in order to attract popularity, the shopkeeper of the rice shop gave a preferential price for rice, starting from yesterday, ten consecutive days to Yunfeng Rice Store to buy rice can enjoy discounts, in addition to this, the Minsheng Edition also has the news of the recent peach and plum harvest around Jinling City......

On the entertainment edition, it reported the news and comments of Yan Feifei, one of the "famous prostitutes" in Dijing City, who was going to stage a new rehearsal in Yanyu Building in Dijing two days later.

What is reported on the news page is the process of the Han Empire's naval army in the distant land of Qiongzhou last year to exterminate the sea bandits......

......

Although he already knew what the content of the newspaper was, but at this time, Yan Liqiang still carefully read all the contents of the newspaper, and on the various pages of this first issue, there was no shocking news and content, and the content of each page was stable, but even so, when these things were combined, this newspaper was also a great innovation of this era.

"Everyone in this printing workshop has worked hard today, Master Guo will reward 3 taels of silver, and everyone else will reward 1 tael of silver, I hope everyone will make persistent efforts in the future, keep improving, and print our newspaper well!" Yan Liqiang handed the first printed newspaper to Fang Beidou, and as soon as he spoke, the craftsmen in the entire printing workshop cheered at once.

Fang Beidou looked at the newspaper, and handed the newspaper to a few writers who stretched their necks next to him, Hu Haihe and Xiao Wu and a few people all rushed over at once, one by one curious to see what this completely printed first newspaper looked like.

"I didn't expect that someone's writing would be printed one day, this ...... This is also a book, it can be passed on to future generations...... "An old gentleman held the newspaper handed over by Fang Beidou, his hands were trembling, he was very excited, and he shed tears, and several literati who wrote the content of the newspaper next to him watched the things they wrote on the paper and were very excited, their excitement and excitement are estimated to be difficult for outsiders to understand.

Although the eyes of Hu Haihe and the others were curious, they were not as excited as those few writers, a few people looked at the newspaper, and then looked at each other, none of them said a word, as if they were full of doubts and doubts that this thing could be sold for money.

Yan Liqiang gave Fang Beidou a look, and the two of them walked out of the workshop.

Outside the workshop is a large courtyard, which is full of stars at the moment, and the flower beds and trees in the courtyard are full of birds and insects.

"This ...... Does it really work?" Fang Beidou didn't ask when there were many people, for fear of affecting morale, but now that there are only two people together, Fang Beidou is also a little uncertain, after all, this is a new thing, although this thing is something he participated in, but his confidence is not as strong as Yan Liqiang.

"As long as we do a good job, it will work!" Yan Liqiang nodded with great certainty.

"How many copies of the first issue of the newspaper will be printed?"

"Print 3,000 copies first, and if the sales are good, we will increase the number of prints in the next issue!"

"Okay! Everything will be as you say, the newspaper will be printed here overnight tonight, and it will be pulled to a few points in the city early tomorrow morning, and then the newspaper will be sent down so that people can sell it in various restaurants and teahouses!"

"Well, that's basically it, I'll come over tomorrow afternoon when I have time, and I'll talk about the situation when the time comes!" Yan Liqiang patted Fang Beidou's shoulder and blinked, "By the way, keep a copy of this first newspaper for me, keep it, this is the first one in the world, maybe it will be worth it in the future, okay, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back to the deer park first......"

After explaining to Fang Beidou, Yan Liqiang also left Zhuangzi and returned to Luyuan, today Yan Liqiang did not rest in the afternoon, he hurried over after completing the afternoon of cultivation, and he hurried over without eating dinner, and now that the matter here has finally been decided, Yan Liqiang is completely relieved.

The printing workshop has been brightly lit tonight, and the morale of the rewarded craftsmen is high, and they work overtime in the workshop, and it is not yet dawn, but in the middle of the night, 3,000 copies of the "Han Imperial Times" have been printed......
