Volume 8 Flap your wings! 127 Madagarh Daily 05
The daily Madagarh newspaper really caught fire, and it only took a week. On the first day, all the newspapers were successfully delivered, and everyone was asking when the second issue would come out.
The next day, two-thirds of the printed newspapers were sold, and one-third were in a small backlog due to lack of publicity.
On the third day, all the newspapers were sold. On the fourth day, the newspaper began to be in short supply, and customers began to come to the newspaper to make reservations.
On the fifth day, merchants began to come to the door, asking for the right to sell the newspaper, and to take the newspaper to distant places by the trade route.
On the sixth day, it had become customary to read newspapers, and the rich and nobles sent people to their homes to ask for long-term reservations.
By the seventh day, the daily newspaper Madagarh had become a household name, and those who had not read it had at least heard of it.
The advent of newspapers began to permeate the daily lives of the Malagars. A habit is quickly formed, getting up early to read the newspaper, reading the newspaper when you have nothing to do, and reading the newspaper when you go to the toilet and squatting on the tuba...... Newspapers have really become the spice of life.
In Xu Zheng's endless ideas, the content of the Madagarh Daily has become more and more colorful. Entertainment editions, news editions, celebrity editions, life editions, illustration editions, joke editions, the content of a piece of paper is constantly changing.
The bards saw the opportunity quickly, and soon realized that there were many illiterate among the common people, and they expanded into a profession called newspaper reading.
Every day, I read the newspaper to people at a fixed place and ask for money. It's just that the way they talk and sing makes Xu Zheng very dissatisfied, and one day he suddenly had a nervous attack, and asked the carpenter of the Penoch Chamber of Commerce to make a piece of shocking wood and tell the story in person at the door of the newspaper hall.
The gentleman had a table at the door, and a yellow cloth was placed on it. There was no paper fan, and before he could make it, he took a bound book as a fan, pretended to pick up the startling wood, patted it, and shouted: "Bah......! Huh, where did I last go?" everyone who listened was covered with black lines.
A well-wisher reminded: "The last time you said that the warrior went to the blacksmith shop to find a weapon to slay the dragon, the boss took a blunt sword to fool him. As a result, this sword happened to be the legendary Lost Sword of the Gods, but no one could activate it all the time, so it was the appearance of a blunt sword. ”
"Oh. Xu Zheng responded: "Then I'll continue." When the warrior came to the Dragon Cave Gate, a black dragon the size of a hill was sleeping, its eyes were closed, and it was the size of a tabletop, its claws were curved, and every fingertip shone with cold light, like the sharpest scimitar, and the snort that erupted from its nose formed a ball of fire in the air, and the heat could be felt from afar. The warrior rushed forward without hesitation, and was unwilling to take advantage of the dragon's danger, so he came to the black dragon's face and shouted: 'Wake me up, for the sake of justice, I will defeat you!'" It was about the time when I was fascinated by reading ancient books on the Internet, and Xu Zheng also liked to say that the key or ** place was to raise the shocking wood and slap it hard, and then shout!
At first, everyone was shocked when they heard this, as if they had been drunk from their souls, and they were always startled by him.
When he got to the end, he was used to it, and he always felt that something was missing and not exciting enough.
Everyone listened to him with relish, but Sauron pouted and whispered: "Idiot! Go to the dragon's head and drink that sound is looking for death! I don't know that dragons will be in a bad mood when they are woken up while sleeping? Otherwise, with a slap in the face, it would have become a meatloaf...... Nonsense, they all take a fancy to our treasures, and every time a large number of people pile up like ants, taking the opportunity to steal and rob them, how can any righteous warriors come to fight alone? Besides, we haven't provoked anyone, why do we say that they are righteous and we are unjust?
His voice was subdued and frustrated, his expression was rich and varied with the development of his feelings, and a pair of smart eyes seemed to come to life.
Not to mention the powerful prop called Shocking Wood, which is always photographed at wonderful times, just right on the most critical beat, or waking up, or creating suspense, which is used by Xu Zheng perfectly.
It's much more interesting than singing a hymn that is half spoken and half sung. A large group of bards looked at the danger of losing their jobs and thought to themselves.
They all came to listen to Xu Zheng's storytelling, and then stole the teacher to learn art. Xu Zheng is not stingy, and he will teach when someone asks.
So there was a very strange scene in Madagarh: there was a table in front of the bards who were dressed completely different from the ancient people of the Interstellar Alliance in their previous lives, each of whom had a thread-bound book in their left hand and a shocking wood in their right hand.
They had to shoot and shoot and shout from time to time: "Bah! After this storytelling, the bard was often half tired and half dead, lying on the table and panting.
Xu Zheng snickered, it turned out that the profession of bard was a hard work...... There are more and more bards like Madagarh who have become storytellers halfway, and from time to time you can hear the loud sound of the waves crashing on the shore all over the street, followed by a loud shout: Bah!
The people of Madagarh didn't think there was anything wrong, but Xu Zheng's eyelids always jumped wildly when he heard it at first, and he always felt like an old gentleman wearing a princess dress, and an old lady riding a big horse and dancing with a big knife, which felt very weird.
But after listening too much, my ears became calloused, and my mind became numb, but I took it for granted. At least everyone listened very hard...... The Otherworldly Aris Continent can also hear this familiar sound, which is quite kind.
The advent of newspapers has also led to related industries. The new way of selling newspapers at the newsstand was learned by others after Xu Zheng's hand, and petite and delicate newsstands began to appear on the streets of Madagarh.
As a large amount of paper from Orson Manor was transported to Madagarh via Elven Forest through Orson Manor, the price of paper dropped and it began to be used by civilians.
There are clever scholars who have tasted the benefits of writing and have tried to write other works to send to the newspaper.
Xu Zheng printed them into books for the purpose of entertaining the public, and idle books for entertainment also appeared, and the newsstand truly became a newsstand, with the function it should really have.
In addition, with the advent of paper and magical typography, the price of learning tools has dropped again and again, and it has entered the people at extremely civilian prices.
There are no other guarantees, but at least the number of children who can afford to read in Madagarh has increased a lot, and the price of knowledge has become less expensive, so that scholars and apprentice magicians in Madagarh have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Later histories refer to this period of Madagarh as a period of intellectual revival, and several scholars and magisters were educated at this time.
Knowledgeable aristocrats and scholars also took advantage of this opportunity to fund the printing of various books, so that people had more access to various knowledge.
Many of the precious materials that are usually unique or single books have been reproduced in more copies, and the valuable content in them has been known by more people and continues to be passed on.
These aristocrats and university scholars don't know how grateful they are to Xu Zheng for making all this. A series of processes of newspapers require authors, writers, correspondents, printers, and typesetting magicians, and also drive the entire digestion process of production, transportation, and sales.
More people in Madagarh found jobs, engaged in manuscript saving, printing, and sales, and Madagarh prospered and was unprecedentedly peaceful.
Newspapers became a special commodity in Madagarh, and merchants came in droves, bought them and left in droves, and commerce became more prosperous, which led to the prosperity of other businesses such as taverns and inns, and Madagarh became a veritable trading city!
Arisio, on the other hand, has changed from an obscure small businessman to a well-known businessman, and when people mention the Penocchi Chamber of Commerce, they no longer think of Big Ali first, but the obscure Little Ali first.
As for Xu Zheng and others, they naturally made a lot of money, and they didn't even bother to count the money. Sauron had no concept of money, everything was divided into Xu Zheng's place, and he asked him when he needed to buy something.
Lanlot's share was given to Asban, and Asban also showed the quality of an elf king at this time, and began to purchase a large number of necessities urgently needed by the clan and secretly sent them back to the elves.
Xu Zheng didn't have anything to spend money on, so he sent all the money he earned back to Aosen Manor and invested it back in the construction of Aosen Manor.
He plans to continue to expand the production of Orson Estate, and next year he will also sell glutinous rice and rice here.
Carlo, Orsin, as well as Luqi and Xiaoban, will always be Xu Zheng's relatives, no matter what they are, if they have a share of Xu Zheng, they will have a share.
These guys also share the money, and they don't know how much they have, in short, Carlo's five-person team has gone from being unable to even afford decent weapons and armor when Xu Zheng was at the beginning, and now they are wearing the best of the whole body, and the realm and level are completely incomparable.
The equipment of this squad is so eye-catching, and it is really hard for them to die when they wear their best clothes to go out on adventure missions.
Therefore, Carlo's five-person team is nicknamed the undead team, not because the team members inside are all undead, but because unless they want to find death, they really have to ask someone to help if they want to die...... Orson couldn't find anything to do, he used to be lonely before, but now he was used to living a lively life, and it was worse to call him lonely than to kill him.
Xu Zheng was very quiet here and couldn't help much, so he mixed up with Carlo, one Xu Zheng's father, one Xu Zheng's godfather, and the two fathers went on adventures together.
With Aosen, the No. 1 magic sword in the Western Continent, and the best equipment piled up at a high price, and the bizarre combat skills taught by Xu Zheng, the reputation of the undead squad in the adventure world is soaring, and it is currently impacting the squad.
Carlo's previous goal was to mess around, but now his goal is to unceremoniously point directly at the SSS level of the Adventure King.
In short, in Xu Zheng's words, except for the people who miss the imperial capital and the people of the manor, everything is fine.
On this day, I was looking for Pride to send the newly printed books everywhere, but suddenly got news that Pride had an accident at home.
