No way, the civilians don't know how to read, and no one will buy it, even if Brandy sets the price of the newspaper very low, only two copper plates in total.

This price is definitely a loss at this stage, the paper is okay, but the price of ink alone is not two copper plates can be bought.

Add to that the salaries of so many workers in the printing factory, and it would take at least 50 copper plates to make the same as the cost.

The steward of the printing house didn't know about it yet, otherwise he would have been crying.

Of course, the government newspaper can't be expensive, of course, the extra money will be paid by the government, 2,000 newspapers, even if all of them are given away for free, but only 10 gold coins, and no one will be able to take charge of this money.

But the usefulness of these two thousand newspapers was by no means measured by 10 gold coins, when the newspapers, which had already been printed and smelled of ink, were delivered to the hands of the nobles.

At first, the nobles didn't care, but when they heard that it was something called a "newspaper" that His Majesty the Emperor fully supported, they reluctantly glanced at it a few times.

But these glances are like those of the typesetters in the printing house, and they can't take their eyes off it.

Even those officials who attend the festival every week do not necessarily know as much information as the newspaper writes.

What's more, not all nobles have official positions, and many nobles are just the title of a nobleman, although their status is noble, but they have no rights.

There are only 2,000 newspapers, and excluding the part that needs to be given to the bards, there is not much left, the imperial capital has a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are tens of thousands of nobles and children of nobles, and only the children of the head of the family and the children of the direct family can read these newspapers.

For a while, the aristocratic circle suddenly boiled, although they had sources of news about the war with Warcraft, but they also knew vaguely, how the specific empire was deployed, how the personnel were mobilized, it was impossible to know.

The news that can be known is only that the battlefield of Dukmahon has not been captured by Warcraft, and even the war has not yet begun, but it is not like ordinary civilians to guess, and the psychology is relatively stable.

It wasn't until I read this newspaper that I had a more comprehensive understanding of the situation of the war.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for two or three people, or even four or five people from an aristocratic family to read a newspaper together, in the aristocratic district of the imperial capital.

Even the nobles really need this information, and the nobles who got the newspaper were like treasures, and they were reluctant to put it down after reading it several times in a row.

After reading it, it began to circulate, and in the case of more monks and less meat, there are still many nobles who have seen today's newspaper.

In the evening, the aristocratic district of the imperial capital began to come alive, and many nobles held banquets at home to invite friends to share these things recorded in the newspapers.

"Have you read the newspaper today?" was almost the first thing the nobles had to ask when they met and greeted each other.

Most of the people who have read the newspaper are the core members of the family, and after hearing that the other party has also read today's newspaper, they have a heated discussion.

Those who haven't read the newspaper are not ignored, and many people pull them to explain to them.

People have a desire to talk, and when others don't know, and they do, they will have a sense of superiority and like to tell others very much.

Of course, it has to be about the same status, otherwise a nobleman would not be interested in telling the beggars on the street about these specific things.

......

It's getting late, and it's past dinner time.

"Squeak...... a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man pushed open the door of a viscount's mansion in the aristocratic district.

It's a big mansion, and it's a bit dilapidated now, but you can still tell that it was once glorious. It's just that now there is a lack of popularity, not even the sparkling light of the illumination, the symbol of the aristocratic district. The black pressure is oppressed, and only in the room of the inner house, there is a glimmer of light.

"Mom, I'm back!" cried the young man as he walked towards the inner house, his voice thick and a little tired.

"Brother Bernie, you're back!"

It wasn't Mom's kind voice that answered him, it was a young woman.

"Doris, you, why are you here?"

Looking at the woman who came out of the inner house, Bernie froze in place.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Bernie was filled with emotion. Variety Literature

Doris is two years younger than Bernie and is already twenty-five years old, and the two can be regarded as childhood sweethearts when they were young, playing together, growing up together, and going to school together, but ......

His family has always been not prosperous, and he once had two older brothers and one sister, but the two elder brothers died young, leaving only one sister, the elder sister married to the province of Primor, and there has been no news for many years, and only Abba and Mom are left in the family.

Abba used to be a director of the Ministry of Culture, and Larence, the Minister of Culture of Doris's Abba, had a superior relationship, and used to have a good relationship, and he didn't live too far away.

But unexpectedly, Abba contracted a strange disease, a sore on his back, pus and blood, exuding a foul smell, and he went bankrupt to hire a few alchemist doctors, but after four years, he died in mourning.

Although the family is a hereditary viscount, it has just a small fief, and as a result, it has suffered a disaster, not only has no taxes, but also has a lot of money to help the victims.

In just a few years, the family, which was originally quite well-off, has completely become nothing, and it still owes a lot of gold coins.

If that's all it takes, I've been sensible since I was a child, although I don't have a talent for magic, but when I was in Oskaia University, I was also excellent in character and learning, and Abba had a lot of old days, so sooner or later I would be able to find a job and make a living.

But who called himself young and vigorous, when he was in school, when he went to find Doris one night, he found that she was being bullied by a kid, but he didn't even see the other party's face clearly, and went up directly and beat him into a pig's head.

This beating brought out a disaster, and the kid who dared to tease Doris was none other than Joyce, the eldest son of Prince Bowen!

If nothing else, in many years the Grand Prince of Bowen will become the emperor of Oskaia, and Joyce may also become the crown prince.

offended him, even if Prince Bowen didn't say anything, if Joyce made a fuss, it would be almost equivalent to cutting off his career, and it would be impossible to become an official again.

Fortunately, although Joyce was beaten, he didn't dare to tell him about His Majesty Grandpa Haman, but found a few good ones, and beat Bernie again, and the matter was over.

Later, Joyce went to the Kunmo Empire, and not many people knew about it, so Bernie forgot about it, and after Abba died, he also found an errand in the Ministry of Culture, because he had a good memory and did a good job.

What I never expected was that things had changed so much in the last year, His Majesty Haman died, Prince Bowen died, and Joyce's younger brother Gülen became the new Emperor.

Bernie, who had been fine for several years, was suddenly called by the Minister of Culture, Clarence, to talk to him last year, and His Excellency Clarence told him very clearly that Joyce had found him, and he had no choice but to let Bernie go home and rest.

Going home to rest is an excuse, in other words Bernie is unemployed.

In fact, it is not unemployed, Clarence also knows that Bernie is the first to come out for his daughter, and he has a good relationship with Bernie's father, in fact, he did not remove him from the Ministry of Culture, but he no longer goes to work.

After the death of Bernie's Abba, he naturally inherited the title of viscount, and if everything went well, he would quickly rise to prominence and become an official, and now there is no hope for everything.

He has only been in the company for a few years, and he is accumulating qualifications, and the salary he can get is not much, so he has no choice but to dismiss the servants of the Viscount's Mansion and live by himself and his mother.

If you are a commoner, this kind of life of being idle at home every day and getting a salary is indeed very good, but Bernie and Abba owe a lot of gold coins between his death.

Although the nobles did not come to collect it, Bernie could not have acted as if nothing had happened, and the salary from his work over the years was used to pay off his debts.

It's hard to say how poor he is, after all, he can't use all the money left over from his salary to pay off his debts, and it's still no problem to make ends meet.

It's just that Bernie is really bored when he is idle at home every day and has nothing to do, so he simply follows the example of other down-and-out aristocratic children and becomes a bard.

Bards don't steal or rob, it's a legitimate profession, and as long as they don't say those foul words, no one looks down on them.

Of course, this is talking about commoners, and bards are still very much looked down on in aristocratic circles.

Bernie didn't care, except for a few friends from school, he had long since lost any contact with aristocratic circles.

His ancestors left a lot of books, and Bernie's memory was very strong, and after memorizing several stories that were different from those of others, he began to really become a bard.

In addition, his voice is very good, and he is full of emotion when he talks about the story, and in just half a year, he has gained a certain popularity in the imperial capital, and there are more and more people watching him tell the story, and he has earned more and more copper coins.

Hi today, it's a little late to go home, but I have earned more than 200 copper coins, which is equivalent to more than two silver coins, if it goes on like this, life can be greatly improved.

When I came back, I had already bought a lot of food and was going to enjoy it with my mother, but I didn't expect Doris to wait for me at home.

For Doris, Bernie felt guilty, the two of them had been in a good relationship since childhood, and the little girl didn't know his feelings for him.

If Abba hadn't died and his family hadn't fallen to this point, Bernie would have proposed to Doris a long time ago, but now that he has become like this, how can he let her suffer with him?
