No matter what happened in the capital, Qian Jun led Maocheng to move forward step by step according to his plan, and in three years, he changed dramatically compared to when he first came, and even Mango and Longan made friends with several merchants and women, and also praised one of the brothers, who was smart and capable—that person only showed off his talent and fame, and his father was forced to give up his studies to support the family when he came back from the sea, and now Maocheng has several rich people.

If a few years ago, no matter how capable a businessman was in the capital, he would not be noble, and when he saw the clan and high-ranking officials, he had to bow his head and bow his waist, where would he dare to be a noble girl like Mango Longan? Even if you dare to longan and mango, you won't care.

This is a change in concept, and this change is also with the increasing number of officials in the capital, quietly involved in overseas trade, and spread in the past, the nobles of the capital are naturally the most like to compare, before the rich people also put on a noble appearance, still respected, now the family is high, the poor do not dare to go out.

In the past, many people had money, so they desperately tried to provide a child to study, in vain trying to change the family, money without merit, people will always look down on people, but now things are the opposite, poor talent is the most despised, fame, no money, it is better to have money without fame.

When you are rich, you feel that you have the ability, but there is no way to get this ability except to make money, for example, powerful men are especially capable men, who doesn't want to get ahead? If you don't have money, you want to make money, and you start thinking about it.

The ancestors of the Jurong Dynasty set the rules that they could not buy and sell officials, and people wanted to go further, and there were many officials who took the imperial examination, but they did not know how to manage at all, and they would only flatter and welcome each other, and step on the low.

These changes fell in the eyes of the heart, for example, Wang Yingcheng immediately became an attack on Qian Junshan, but I don't know why the prince and the emperor were indifferent, and they were still worried, and the reason was revealed - Emperor Yongchang died, it turned out that Qian Jun had been a thief and guarded against the old emperor, and his brain was confused in his last year, and his brain couldn't think at all, and the prince was still busy preparing to ascend the throne, but he didn't think of another reason.

Zhou Danniang received the letter and arranged all the housework, let the eldest son take care of herself, her husband took the younger son to Maocheng, and when she got off the boat, she saw the city full of Susu, and as soon as she inquired about Lao Zhou and her son, she was so angry that she stomped her feet - no entertainment within a year, don't you want to die?

I would like to let the family rest easy, the Zhou family father and son can modify the script at home, or create a new script, and the actors also take the opportunity to step up their practice, and let the Zhou family father and son teach the actors to read and write, so that the script does not have to be taught word by word, rote memorization, and Zhou Danniang has enough time to inspect Maocheng and choose the project he wants to operate.

Once you have settled here, you will devote yourself to the operation of the newspaper.

The crown prince Qian Haolin ascended the throne with the name Taishun, who was very optimistic about the successor to the throne in the past, but everyone was disappointed, very impatient, and used his energy on boring state affairs, causing an uproar.

Jin and Qian Jun took the opportunity to expand the results of the battle and speed up the small movements in their hands.

In this year, the newspaper developed the most rapidly, and all the entertainment was canceled, and the newspaper suddenly became unprecedentedly popular, and no one was allowed to sing and dance, feast, and have nothing to do, so they only read to relieve their boredom.

I would like to solicit manuscripts to serialize Xiaoduo, touching and deep, the most popular love drama among boudoir women, in order to attract male readers, I have to personally use the pen name "Awakening" to imitate the future generations, I have seen some science fiction small, of course, the level of science and technology is only in the emergence of electricity, Automobiles and other aspects have made those young men yearn for a better life with some money, and less than ten days after the serialization began, the newspaper received no less than 100 letters from readers every day, the circulation of the newspaper soared, and the printing press could not meet the requirements at full capacity, so I had to ask a high-level craftsman to guide the printing machinery, from manpower to animal power, and a blindfolded donkey drove the movement of the machine, and the printing volume increased to 8,000, still in short supply.

I would like to reject Zhu Xinyun's proposal to buy another set of printing presses, and I hired a few craftsmen to imitate a set according to the original, and also changed part of the structure, so that the printing power can be improved, and the printing press was put into production in two months, and the ox was the driving force, and sure enough, 10,000 copies could be printed in a day, although the circulation of the newspaper increased to 18,000 copies a day, it was still sold out.

Because the price of paper is expensive, each newspaper sells three, there was almost no profit before, relying on meager advertising income to maintain, now the circulation has risen, one can earn a penny, a day is 18,000 silver, equivalent to 16 taels of silver, plus advertising revenue has also increased rapidly, more than 100 taels a month, a total of more than 600 taels of silver, a month of profit, not bad, not much money, not much reaction to these data, Zhu Xinyun saw the account room to take out the data, excited tears are flowing down - I would like to give a tenth of the shares, a month income will be 60 taels of silver, more than the house rented out a year 60 taels.

I didn't expect to make money before the purpose of running a newspaper was achieved. In this way, it is not easy to attract people's attention, and soon the largest bookstore in Maocheng - Rongguang Printing Society also began to publish newspapers, and the content is the same, the gossip is published in the market, the east brothers fight, the west mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in harmony, and the supplement is published on the small side, please write a super good imitation, and also write electricity, machines, etc., only the fantasy is purely blind to make up the scientific basis.

I hope that the sales of the newspaper began to be affected, and on a rainy day, more than 100 copies were left unsold, and Zhu Xinyun was very worried, lest this unfavorable situation continue to spread.

I would like to teach Xinyun: "Imitations can't be stopped, only by standing firmly at the forefront of the market trend can we ensure that our sales can finally win the market." ”

"But what else can people do if they write science fiction?"

"That's not scientific fantasy at all, just make it up and find someone to teach you any science."

No one knows how to wake up, everyone thinks that they know a certain great talent, and many people are suspicious of the Hanlin Academy in the capital - everyone thinks that Hanlin is the most knowledgeable, but they don't know how to do it himself.

Readers like science fiction very much, but no one knows what science fiction is, people don't even know what science is, and when they see that the time is ripe, they start serializing it on the first page of the newspaper, and the "science" page is divided into two parts: mathematics and science.

Mathematics begins with geometry, and the reader begins to reply, making sure that the young people follow and learn, and then add algebra knowledge.

The science part is also focused on experiments, since science fiction talks about electrical machinery, the first experiment is about electricity - static electricity, and then electromagnetic induction, electromagnetic phenomena, while experimenting, explaining what happened to the motor in science fiction, and the young reader couldn't help but suddenly realize, and someone wrote a letter pointing out that the science fiction on the Rongguang Printing Agency, Maocheng New Newspaper was wrong.

Rong Gaoming, the young owner of Rongguang Printing Society, read "Maocheng Daily" every day, and only then did he understand that science fantasy is first based on science, and the assumptions in it are all right, but it can't all be made up blindly, but the newspaper has already sold hard, and it must be insisted on, in order to avoid being accused by readers, Rong Gaoming built a laboratory at home, insisted on doing the above experiments of "Maocheng Daily" every day, and at the same time, he also hired science fiction authors to do the newspaper there, and science fiction soon stopped being so outrageous.

Zhu Xinyun saw that the science fiction on the "Maocheng Morning Post" was almost written with the scientific experiments here, and he couldn't help but look for it again.

"It doesn't matter, we are not afraid of imitation, the more people imitate, the greater the influence of our newspaper, have not paid attention to the trend that sales are not only stable now, but also in short supply?"

Zhu Xinyun was happy: "This time I am responsible for building another set of printing machines." ”

"Okay." The craftsman also thought that Zhu Xinyun should be able to make it, so he nodded without hesitation.

In order to cope with the plan to increase sales, I began to leave a question at the end of each experiment to solicit answers, and the highest prize was a free newspaper for one month, which immediately aroused the interest of many readers, and when the machine made it more than a month later, the print run increased, and the newspaper was not selling.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and they have long been ready to quietly rehearse two big plays, and the father and son of the Zhou family are ready to start the show just after the ban is lifted.

On the second day of the anniversary of Emperor Yongchang's death, I and Qian Jun took the family and invited some friends to watch the audition of "Love and Hate the Sea" for more than two years. I have to admit that Danniang's husband and second son Zhou Tieli were born to eat art and rice, especially the son is stronger than his father, after the ravages of the TV series in the last life, he couldn't watch the opera very much, but in the end, he was moved to tears, Mango and Guiyuan, although they are still children, but the early wisdom knows a little about the affection between men and women, and when the curtain is closed, the male protagonist is so sad that he cried, and even Qian Jun said: "This arrangement is too miserable." With tears in my voice, I asked, "Is it true?" Does it feel too fake and unreal? ”
