With the passage of time, the news that Jixiang was preparing to recruit government officials blew through the entire Great Xia like a gust of wind, mixed with some vague so-called 'unspoken rules' in the auspicious political arena, as well as some statements that the auspicious lord was willing to delegate power and value talents.

The auspicious wealth has spread throughout the Star Continent with the mid-year commodity fair, and some adventurers who are greedy for enjoyment and thrill-seeking have rushed to auspicious in groups to experience a strange atmosphere.

On November 15, Wang Xuan led civil and military officials to pay homage to the auspicious heroes who died in battle at the end of October, and put their spiritual tablets into the auspicious martyrs' memorial tower (monument).

The memorial tower is located in the northeast of Jixiang City, close to Xingyao Lake, Xingyao River, and Jixiang City. The bottom is surrounded by a circle of bungalows, and the interior is engraved with the military personnel who died since the establishment of the auspicious leadership and their lives, which is quite detailed.

The tower is ten zhang high, and the area of the tower base and the surrounding bungalows is equivalent to the area of the Government Affairs Yuan, which is very huge. Whether it is from the south of the Xingyao Lake, or from the north of the Xingyao River, you can see the towering memorial tower, since the completion of the daily people come to worship, worship a sustenance, a love silk.

The bungalow is enclosed in a hexagonal shape, each side has an entrance, each entrance is guarded by two sergeants, each shift is on duty for two hours, a total of six shifts, a total of 90 garrisons, under the direct jurisdiction of the military department.

Everyone worshiped with Wang Xuan, and made a speech on the theme of nostalgia and admiration, hard work and progress, and then presented flower baskets and messages, and then dispersed.

The lord's mansion covers a wide area, and the sanitation needs to be cleaned on weekdays, the flowers and plants need to be taken care of, and there are many places to employ people, so Wang Xuan selected twenty people from the military family to maintain daily operations. This group of people have monthly hardware, and ordinary soldiers are only a gold coin for a month, and they are envious of others for a while.

The princess's family lived in the southeast corner, and Wang Bi picked five female military dependents to take care of her daily life, and her salary was paid from the inner treasury, which made the princess grateful.

After the princess's family arrived, Wang Xuan didn't have a deep talk with her, so he took the flowers to visit on the 20th.

The princess was also happy to see Wang Xuan coming, serving tea and pouring water was very natural, the adaptation effect of these days was good, and her face was a lot ruddy.

"Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu, can you still live here?" Wang Xuan said.

"What's not used to it, I'm not afraid of your jokes, there are a lot of things here that are too rare, some of them haven't been figured out yet, thanks to Bi'er's carefulness, she arranged for five sisters to help, you have to thank her for me." The princess spoke softly, and it was very comforting to hear.

"It's all a family, why mention the word 'thanks'. It's still my negligence, I have been away all this time, and I can't care about Aunt Liu's life, which really shouldn't be. Wang Xuandao.

"Our family is very good, and everything is very good, and this is all thanks to you. The princess said.

"Then I will rest assured, and inform the guards if there is any need, and they will come to me if they can't do the Lord's thing. Wang Xuan said, "This is the object that His Royal Highness entrusted to you before his death, I have not known how to speak, so I simply take this opportunity to confess, you mourn!"

The expressions of the princess and the side concubine were beyond Wang Xuan's expectations, and the princess took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and then asked Aunt Na Luo to put it away.

"He's like this, he's been living for others all his life, he's too tired. Whether it's dead or not, it's a relief for him, this kind of result has long been expected, but when he is over, he returns the jade pendant to me, which makes me hate him a lot. The princess only cared about herself, and Aunt Liu was secretly wiping her tears beside her.

"He told me that our sisters would find another one to rely on for the rest of their lives, but I didn't agree. My sister is still young, and if there is a suitable one, you will be Zhang Luo, and it is enough for me to guard three children. ”

"Sister, I'm not married anymore, we're still together. ”

"Don't say stupid things, you still have a good life, why bother to waste your youth. Besides, this is also what the prince meant, from the moment you leave, you will not be a member of his Zhao family, a little false name will only ruin you, and we are not happy with this, right. The princess persuaded.

Wang Xuan can understand the princess's mood, as the saying goes, it's not that a family doesn't enter the door, such an arrangement is reasonable, as long as you get rid of the burden of identity, you can live a wonderful life.

"I respect your decision, now that you are all auspicious, the past is gone, and you should think more about yourself. Wang Xuan said, "Your Highness will be relieved to know that Your Highness will be pleased, and he also wishes you all the rest of your life well." ”

Wang Xuan just expressed his position on this matter, and his identity was not suitable to say more, so he quickly changed the topic.

"There are still a few things to discuss with the two aunts, the two sisters plan to study at Phoenix Academy after the New Year, and Yuxin will have a school with Hua'er, I don't know what to do?" Wang Xuan said.

"That's a good thing, and we're going to do it. Aunt Liu said aside.

"Yes, we can't keep them for a lifetime, and it will be easier to learn some skills, you can arrange it. The princess said.

"Well, there's another thing I don't know whether to say or not. Wang Xuan hesitated.

"It's all a family, if there's anything else to say or not, you just have to talk about it. The princess said.

"That's right, my eldest sister and second sister have their own industries, and they often walk around, and their spirits are much better and more energetic than before. I'm thinking of giving you two an industry to pass the time and earn some pocket money. Wang Xuan explained.

The princess was interested, and asked, "But you have a clue?"

They have some savings, and there are really not many places that need to spend money on auspiciousness, but it is a good thing to have a stable income, and Aunt Liu also needs a dowry to remarry, and it will be better to live in the future.

Wang Xuan said with a smile: "I have some ideas, I don't know if Aunt Liu knows that we have a paper mill in Hedong, specializing in the production of all kinds of paper. ”

"But I don't know, isn't it related to paper?" said the princess curiously.

"It is precisely that whether it is the transmission of information or the inheritance of culture, in addition to word of mouth, it is the record of various books and classics. Think about it from another perspective, if you can write down the novelties that happen and sell them on paper, do you think this business can be popular?" Wang Xuan said.

"You mean selling news?" asked the princess.

"Ah, it's okay, like where something strange happened, where someone built a new company, where there was going to be a job again, and so on. Of course, it is not limited to this, but also to publish some breeding experience, agricultural experience, and some wonderful articles of famous experts, presumably it will not be bad. ”

The princess said in her heart, what does it mean that it will not be bad, it will definitely not be bad.

The auspiciousness is better, people can also play mahjong and chess on weekdays to relieve boredom, and there are no entertainment activities in Daxia. Once you can know the world without leaving home, this kind of fantastical thing really happens around you, and it's no wonder that you are not happy and crazy.

The auspicious standard of living is already very high, and these expenses are affordable to ordinary people, and people will definitely flock to it at that time, not to mention that Wang Xuan's products must be high-quality products, but they have always been very spiritual.

"I don't know anything else, but you can't be wrong, tell me what I should do. "The princess really wants to seize this opportunity, her son is still young, and she won't worry about these external things in the future, who would think that her life is too good.

"That's how I plan to set up a newspaper company, you hire someone to take care of it, you only need to audit the accounts on weekdays, if you are really interested, you can also participate in it, or even manage it yourself. Wang Xuandao, "I will pick a piece of land for you in Hedong, build a printing house, and then recruit and train a group of technicians to do this work." There are many kinds of newspaper materials, and you can either hire people to collect them everywhere or buy them from the market at a cost, and the people who collect them are called 'journalists'. ”

"'Reporter'? The person who recorded the material is appropriate, I am really interested in what you say, can you say it in detail?" The princess looked at Wang Xuan with an expectant look on her face, and Zhao Gongzi, who was 'in the rules' on the side, couldn't hold it at this time, and began to squeeze her eyebrows at the flowers with this atmosphere.

"Let's talk about the source of income first, selling newspapers only accounts for a small part, and the majority is still advertising. ”

"What is advertising?"

"To put it bluntly, if a new restaurant opens in the city, and you publish the address, the restaurant's specialties and even some of the prices in the newspaper, then the restaurant will be famous, and there will be an endless stream of diners. Not to mention the craftsmanship, at least the popularity has increased a lot, this is the advertisement, so that more people can know about you. ”

"It's scary to think about. The princess said.

"Not only that, but you make a name for the restaurant, and he has to pay for it, and the prices are often ridiculously high. For example, the monthly profit of this restaurant before advertising was about 10 gold, and after advertising, it stabilized at about 20 gold, and the profit doubled, how much do you say he should pay you?" Wang Xuandao.

How much?

"You can price by the performance of your ads, or you can price by the number of times. The former is risky, but the rewards are also higher, while the latter is not as rewarding as the former, but it is better to be stable. Moreover, the price of advertising in different positions is also different, and the price of only one advertisement in the whole newspaper is different from that of ten advertisements, and there is too much room for operation here. Wang Xuandao.

"Can you give an example?" The princess was really interested, and even Zhao Gongzi, who was frowning, stared at Wang Xuan.

"In the case of that restaurant, if the entire advertising space is contracted, then the newspaper industry will not be able to place other advertisements, and the focus of this only advertisement will be more prominent, and the price will naturally be higher. In addition, if the effect agreement is signed, the increase is paid by one-tenth of the amount, and the restaurant has to pay the newspaper one gold coin a month until his profit returns to the level of ten gold coins. Of course, these two ways can coexist. Wang Xuan explained.

"I kind of understand that we are a bridge between merchants and customers. The princess sighed.

"Exactly, there can be many kinds of newspaper layouts, but we must pay attention to authenticity and timeliness, if the reputation is bad, the company will fall. ”

"I see, what should I do if others follow suit?" said the princess.

"To fight for word of mouth, the newspaper industry that was established first has great advantages, and it is also the reason that the elderly are more respected. In addition, the government and the lord's palace will each run a newspaper, but the emphasis is different. There are so many brick and tile factories and stone yards in Jixiang, which one is not prosperous. Wang Xuandao.

"Okay, then do it, I still have some savings here, how much do you think you need?" The princess was very decisive and said all the 'savings', which shows her trust in Wang Xuan.

"A thousand gold coins are enough, and the lord's mansion can pay in advance. Wang Xuandao.

"Kind aunt got it, these gold coins are still available, and there are a lot of buried in the old mansion of the royal capital, so you can let people dig them up when the time comes. "The princess enjoyed the feeling of sharing secrets with others, and some of her sneaky appearances were very pleasant.

"Yes, when the time comes, the three newspapers will be built together, and the personnel will also be recruited through the Propaganda Department, and the treatment will be preferential. Wang Xuandao.

The newspaper industry of cross-era significance inadvertently appeared, and a month later, the princess realized how big the gift Wang Xuan had given her with understatement.
