The newspaper hall is a rented three-entry courtyard, not far from here is a workshop dedicated to printing, as long as the place in Hangzhou gives up the silver, there is nothing that cannot be done.

In the newspaper office, Xu Shen was in charge of printing, and at this time he was scolding the manager of a printing workshop, and his voice was so loud that it could be heard inside and outside the newspaper hall.

"If you don't have enough manpower, then go and recruit, silver is a trivial matter, the most important thing is to be able to print this newspaper as much as possible, if the engraving is not enough, then go and buy it, it really can't be done, and you can only make yourself, delaying my nephew's big event, I won't let you eat and go around."

"Don't quibble, it's useless to quibble, instead of complaining to me, it's better to get things done."

Inside the tent, Zhao Mengting heard the earth-shattering sound outside, her eyebrows couldn't help frowning, she pondered for a moment, and finally continued to settle the accounts, the expenses of these days are really huge, the first issue of the newspaper has not come out, and the silver spent is like flowing water, that Xu Shen shouted that silver is a trivial matter, but for Zhao Mengting, silver is a big deal.

These two people are one inside and one outside, and their thoughts are naturally different, Xu Shen is responsible for spending money, and Zhao Mengting is responsible for managing money.

The only thing in the newspaper that doesn't have anything to do with money is the compilation of Zhou specially invited by Xu Qian, who was born in Xiucai, but his family background is not good, he is over forty years old, and the imperial examination is hopeless, so he came with a lot of money.

This editor Zhou is now sorting out the first version of the manuscript, and he is the one who proofreads, sorts out, and polishes, but fortunately he has enough time to prepare, so he will not be in a hurry.

Xu Qian sat by the courtyard and looked up at the sky, he was a very honest person, before the newspaper went on sale, he didn't have the heart to read, but wanted to do something. But he found that the matter had already been assigned to do it, and it seemed that the only thing left to look up at the sky was to do.

"There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky." Xu Qian said something unfathomable, so that a hired clerk happened to rush over with a large number of manuscripts, but he couldn't help but look up at the sky, muttering in his heart, could it be raining?

Although Xu Qian was relaxed on the surface, he was not easy in his heart, and many celebrities in Hangzhou heard the news that Xu Qian was going to run a newspaper, but they had already put down their words. Claiming that Xu Qian's newspaper was worthless and useless to read, he dissuaded the reader in Hangzhou from buying the newspaper.

These people suddenly let out a rumor, which cast a shadow on Xu Qian's newspaper before it was listed.

After all, newspapers start from the high-end. If even the scholars refuse to buy it, the literate ordinary people may not buy it.

Fortunately, Xu Qian was not worried, and when he heard the news, he just sneered, and he didn't think about it anymore.

In the evening, the first issue of the newspaper had been printed, and Xu Qian looked at the sample. Feeling very satisfied, he immediately urged the workshop to speed up printing, at this time the conditions were limited, and the printing could only use movable type printing. The speed of printing was not fast, but fortunately, Xu Shen managed to buy three sets of engravings, and more than 30 craftsmen took turns to catch up with the work, but he could barely cope with it.

And in the city of Hangzhou. There are a lot of people who watch Xu Qian's jokes, and the celebrities have already gone out. clamoring that Xu Qian is just a clown jumping off the beam, it is some wealthy families, and they also sneer at Xu Qian's newspaper, and even heard that the provincial political envoy Wang Mingchuan Wang Daren seems to have bad intentions towards this newspaper.

Such a prospect seems to have doomed Xu Qian to capsize in the gutter this time.

In the early morning of the first day of sale, the newspaper named "Ming Pao" did sell extremely poorly, and only 500 copies of the first issue were printed, Xu Shen ordered people to go out to sell it early in the morning, and at the same time wanted to sell it in various stores, but although these newspaper boys who peddled newspapers were shouting everywhere, there were very few of them, and as for some other stores, they didn't seem to want to offend celebrities and celebrities because of the consignment of these newspapers, and after all, the profit of selling this thing was meager, so they shook their heads and refused.

In the whole morning, only about 70 copies were sold. This really caught the excited Xu Shen off guard, even when the prince heard the movement, he was also startled, and rushed to the newspaper in person, and scolded Xu Qian for a while.

"What are we talking about, what are we talking about? Hey, our family has been working for half a lifetime, and the people who have been stammering for half a lifetime can't imagine that it will be folded in your hands, so that you don't have to do too much, don't mess around, how is it now, how is it now? ”

The sound of the prince's roar accompanied by his spittle and the stars rushed towards Xu Qian.

Xu Qian just laughed.

In the eyes of the prince, this smile is a bit silly.

After the prince vented all the anger in his stomach, Xu Qian said slowly: "Father-in-law, wait and see, everything is in a hurry, and you can sell at least two hundred copies today." ”

Two hundred, it's like a fool's dream, it only sold for seventy in the morning, that's all, there are still people who can't help but be curious, difficult

Will there be more people who buy in the afternoon?

Wang Gonggong was suspicious, so he simply stayed in this newspaper and didn't leave, just to see how Xu Qian sold two hundred copies.

In fact, when this newspaper came out, there was also a discussion in the teahouse where those scholars gathered, among which the Lingbo Building, located on the shore of West Lake, was the favorite place for scholars and some children of the family to gather.

Everyone first gathered together to eat tea, and then they talked about the anecdote of Ming Pao, and some people shook their heads and sneered: "I heard that the newspaper office hired many people to go out to sell newspapers, and their throats were hoarse, and all morning, not a single newspaper was sold." ”

"I also heard about this, although this Xu Qian has the backing of his teacher, but after all, he has offended many people, and now that they have spoken, how can I give Xu Qian a favor? In my opinion, what kind of report is this, I'm afraid that I have to die. ”

"Tell me, Ming Pao is in the name of my dynasty, will there be a suspicion of usurpation?"

"This, but I don't know."

In fact, this is a kind remark, some people who are not used to Xu Qian, the tone is even worse, one of them shook his fan, sneered and said: "The surname Xu deserves it, this person is not right, he should have been taught a lesson, as for this Ming Bao, haha...... is even more ridiculous and generous, they don't know how many pounds and taels they have, this kind of thing is too dirty to go to the toilet, and most of the content in it is messy, unsightly, and a bunch of nonsense. ”

This man started his head, and there were not a few people who seconded it, and this boy said that he was up, so he shook his fan and got up, and began to make a lot of nonsense.

On the contrary, another son, who was sitting by the window, suddenly hooked his finger at the servant beside him, and the servant hurriedly stepped forward, and the boy gave him an order, and the servant hurried away.

After a little half an hour, dozens of strong men in green clothes and small hats actually broke into the Lingbo Building, these people rushed upstairs violently, the son who scolded Ming Pao at first was still scolding with great interest, the boy by the window stood up and sneered: "Come, fight!" ”

Under an order, dozens of strong men didn't say a word, and directly surrounded the son who scolded a lot, and someone took the lead in slapping the past, and the whole person flew out a foot away, while chirping, while covering his hot face and shouting: "Who are you?" What a bold man, he dared to commit murder...... I ......"

The boy who was leaning against the window smiled even colder, and continued to command: "Beat hard, see if he dares to talk nonsense." ”

Many people in the building know this son, but it is the son of the Yu family in Hangzhou, the ancestor of the Yu family has the famous Yu Qian, after being convicted, although the Yu family fell for a while, but with the filial piety of the emperor for Yu Shaobao's rehabilitation, and personally visited the descendants of the Yu family, gave the Yu family a lot of preferential treatment, the Yu family soon became famous, just a few decades, after two generations of business, now it has become one of the best families in Hangzhou.

The son of a famous family, after all, is a little reserved, and generally does not come out to be powerful, and this son has always been knowledgeable, but he never thought that today he actually refers to the beating of his family in broad daylight.

There was a sudden chaos in the Lingbo Building, everyone retreated to the side, and saw that dozens of Yu family members were murdering the son who had been talking nonsense before, and this son had been beaten half to death, so Yu Gongzi paced over with a fan, and looked coldly at the guy who was still chattering, and then gritted his teeth and said, "What did you just say?" It's better to say that Ming Pao is bullshit, and to say that the articles in it are all nonsense, right? ”

"I ...... I ......"

Yu Gongzi stretched out his legs, but he didn't care at all, and kicked the person on the ground like a dead dog, and then said viciously: "If you dare to talk nonsense in the future, I will break your dog's legs!" ”

He put away the fan, regained the idle style of Brother Gongzi, and said lazily: "Go." ”

After that, he took dozens of family members and left. Only the mess in the Lingbo Building was left, and there were countless people who stretched their necks but were stunned.

As for the dying man, he finally called someone to the store and asked a doctor to treat him, but he didn't kill anyone.

It's just that at this time, no one is interested in knowing whether this person is dead or alive, and everyone has a question, why did a big family like the Yu family suddenly make a big move?

Just now Yu Gongzi said that Ming Pao, could it be that this cat is tired, and it is in Ming Pao?
