Chapter 154: Weekly

In the blink of an eye, November 13, the New Year is getting closer and closer, but the sky has always been gloomy and gloomy in recent days.

On this day, early in the morning, the sky sprinkled a trace of rain, silver rain, and in the winter, it was actually drizzling, mixed with a bone-chilling cold.

Shen Ao said yesterday that he went to the Ya Mountain House to take a turn, the mountain fang has been opened, presided over by Wu Liu'er, the business is very prosperous, this kind of popular tea shop attracts a lot of customers, but the profit is small.

This is just the beginning, Shen Ao doesn't care too much about the profits of this new store, as long as there is a profit.

Chun'er can't be idle, living in the Yaya Mountain House, occasionally helping to settle accounts, she entered the Guogong Mansion and learned some arithmetic, so the accounting is within her ability.

Shen Ao was thinking that due to the best-selling of the book of poetry, Wu San'er had used the extra money to buy a printing workshop that was on the verge of closure, recruited craftsmen, and updated the movable type tools, but he was very busy.

What Shen Ao meant was that in addition to publishing the book of elegant poems, it seemed that he could also print something else in order to make more profits.

Shen Ao once taught Zhou Heng to do a survey, and in Bianjing City, the literacy rate is still quite high, but although many people are literate, most of them are only literate in terms of literacy.

This group of people can be regarded as the middle class in Bianjing, with some livelihoods and a little wealth, but they are not rich in hand, so the main pastime is naturally not as good as the giants and officials who have a lot of money in their pockets, and it is impossible to spend a lot of money in the Qinglou, nor do they have the capital to be vassals and elegant; It is extremely rare to have time to find a tea shop or wine shop to sit for an hour or two, listen to people talk about books, and talk to people.

Shen Ao plans to set up a publication similar to a newspaper, a weekly edition, of course, not to discuss current affairs, but to tell stories, the layout he has already thought of, the newspaper is set to the size of the newspaper of later generations, three sheets per page, a total of four columns, one is called hunting strange ghost stories, and there is also a version called the talented and beautiful woman, what a certain life meets a rich lady and other love stories, this kind of story is mainly to cater to the needs of girls in the boudoir, the storyline must be yy enough, and there must be a happy ending in the end, What Sauvignon Blanc keeps, what lovers eventually become dependents, etc., what you ask for is a cool word.

As for the third column, there are some gossip stories, of course, most of this so-called gossip is actually made up, such as someone in Bianjing City who was secretly abducted and deceived, heinous and heinous, how the officials who paid equal attention to courage and wit searched for the murderer, how to ask for physical evidence, and finally arrested him. This kind of story has a certain documentary surname, and a lot of sensational content is added to satisfy the audience's curiosity.

Finally, the fourth column is a long serialized column, and the serialized story has a certain advantage, because once the first part attracts readers, these readers are happy to pay to read the later story, and the so-called can't stop is this reason.

With the idea, it is easy to implement, the technology and the sale are naturally handed over to Wu San'er, and Shen Ao concentrates on making up some stories that will be familiar to future generations, and some people can also contribute in the future, and the weekly stories do not need to be too much, and they will not be at a loss.

However, teaching Shen Ao to write the story in person, time and energy are consumed too much, Shen Ao's idea hit Xiao Zhangzhang, Xiao Zhangzhang ate and drank in the Ya Mountain House for nothing, Xiao Yuezi had a good life, and when he had free time, he could also discuss some questions with the tea guests, usually read books, and have some unclear relationships with the maids, but it was quite fun.

Shen Ao was remorseful, he knew that he shouldn't have led the wolf into the room, but now that this guy is being raised by himself, he doesn't feel guilty at all, and he called his cousin a few times and almost wanted to treat Shen Ao as his own brother.

It is not possible to go on like this, we can't let Xiao Zhangzhang continue to degenerate, and we want to defraud him of his surplus value...... Oh no, teach him to fend for himself and cheer him up.

In fact, Xiao Zhangzhang's cultural level is still not low, although it is still a little far from making good poems and good words, and the others are not so difficult as to stump him; After all, he was born in a family, and his foundation was there, even if he was idle every day like Zhou Heng, he would not become a big boss.

Shen Ao touched Xiao Zhangzhang's back and said very kindly, Xiao Zhangzhang, do you want to be a blockbuster, do you want to make a career and impress others.

This sentence is in Lu Zhizhang's heart, and he naturally nods like pounding garlic, where will he say a word.

This is easy to do, what Shen Ao needs is a promising youth, courage, determination, and perseverance.

In the end, Xiao Zhangzhang became the first columnist of the weekly, and almost all of the stories in the first edition of the weekly were written by Lu Zhizhang. Of course, all the inspiration came from Shen Ao, Shen Ao first made an outline, designed the characters and the general plot, and the rest of the things were left to him, and Lu Zhizhang filled the story with full twists and turns.

After the story was written, it was really good, especially those few short stories, although they were all small jokes that were familiar to later generations, but through Lu Zhizhang's pen, he even played a little tricks, Shen Ao greatly appreciated it, Childe is Childe, there are a lot of ghost ideas in my heart, not dull, creative, and very promising.

Today, Shen Ao woke up early in the morning, and the first thing he did was to put on his clothes and go to the street to buy a copy of Tunnel Ya Wencui, today is the first issue of Tunnel Ya Wencui, what is the effect, his heart is actually a little empty, if he doesn't see it with his own eyes, he can't rest assured.

After eating the breakfast served, Shen Ao picked up a bronze mirror, took a picture left and right, smiled, and said to himself: "Gonggong Yang is too good at bluffing people with a mouth, and he actually said that my Yintang is pink, how white I look at, it's enough to be a little white face." ”

In my heart, I went out through the door, and when I arrived at the stable, I wanted to borrow a horse to go out for a walk, but I saw Zhou Ruo and the girl choosing the carriage in this stable.

Zhou Ruo saw Shen Ao, the expression on her face was incomprehensible, and she saw her holding an oil umbrella, and the drizzle was falling like a thread. She is already delicate and slender, and under the oil umbrella, she looks even more moving. Especially the pretty face, in the rain and mist, the face is condensed with goose fat, the lips are like cherry blossoms, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, and the gods are like autumn water, which is indescribably delicate and moving. A green skirt is even more dazzling and fresh in this turbid rain, straight like rain hitting blue lotus, ethereal and elegant; Although it is just a straight face, it has a different style.

With such a light rain, Shen Ao didn't bring an umbrella, and the rain line fell on his head, and his face was soaked, but fortunately, he had rough skin and thick flesh, but he didn't notice anything.

Seeing Shen Ao's appearance, Zhou Ruo was angry, it was raining in such a cold winter, and this cousin didn't know how to cherish himself, if he was sick, he was afraid that his mother would be worried.

"Haha, cousin, you're going out too? That's a coincidence. Shen Ao smiled and didn't care, he knew in his heart that this cousin was cold-faced and hot-hearted, and the more cold he was, the more enthusiastic he was.

Zhou Ruo glanced at him and said, "How is Chun'er?" Did you put her in? ”

Speaking of Chun'er, I really need to thank my cousin, if she hadn't been in a hurry to call the little county lord to report the news, I was afraid that Shen Ao would regret it for life, Shen Ao said with a straight face: "I've already placed her, it's okay, I still have to thank my cousin!" ”

Zhou Ruo snorted coldly and said angrily: "You still have a lot of romantic debts, you are a girl Zhenzhen, and you are Chun'er, I don't know how many girls will continue to be harmed in the future." ”

Have it? Is it a lot? In this era, there don't seem to be many, and buddies are just responding to the call of eugenics and parenting.

Shen Ao felt a little aggrieved, and said with a bitter face: "My cousin's words seem to be a bit heavier, but in fact, my cousin is not so unbearable." ”

The rain was dripping down on him, and Zhou Ruo saw his chattering self-defense, and felt a little unbearable: "Why don't you go to the stable to hide from the rain, standing in the rain, don't you think you are a hero?" ”

Shen Ao pouted: "I'm going out, the stable won't go, if my cousin takes that oil umbrella to cover me from the rain, it's almost the same." He said to the groom, "Find me a horse, a little more handsome." ”

The groom and Shen Ao are familiar with each other, and they also know what is going on with handsomeness, so he said with a smile: "Young Master Cousin, there are no handsome horses, and today I want to buy a lot of miscellaneous items for the New Year, but they have been picked up, but there are two donkeys, and the appearance is also very thoughtful, which can be described as the best among donkeys, I don't know if I want Young Master Cousin?" ”

"Donkey?" Shen Ao's eyes looked at a horse in the stable in a daze, needless to say, this horse has been booked by his cousin, donkey is donkey, donkey is good, walking is not fast, safe and environmentally friendly, good cousin with good donkey, hey, this young master actually even rhymes when thinking about things, it seems that the cultural level is good, this scripture is not in vain.

Shen Ao said: "Okay, just bring a horse for me, and say in advance, don't want a mother." ”

Zhou Ruo heard Shen Ao talking nonsense here, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Don't want a mother, what kind of allusion is this?" Qiao blushed and said, "It's not serious, no wonder the holy decrees have come down to reprimand you." ”

The groom led the donkey, and the donkey was lazy and saddled, and did not add any vigor to it; Shen Ao was speechless, but he didn't dislike it, he turned over, swayed his donkey's belly, and smiled at Zhou Ruo: "Cousin is a little urgent today, let's go first." ”

Zhou Ruo saw that he was drenched in the rain, and had the intention to ask him to ride in the carriage together, but the words were choked in his throat, but he didn't speak, and said coldly: "Hmph, you go your own way." ”

Shen Ao didn't say more, and hurriedly rode a donkey and trampled away in the mud.

Out of Zhou's mansion, there is a wine shop in the distance, according to Shen Ao's instructions to Wu San'er, when the weekly magazine is on sale, you need to find some idle boys, let them take the weekly magazine to sell around, especially in places with more people, you must not miss it. It's a pity that it's raining today, and it's not good for the teacher, so I can only retreat to the next best thing and sell it in some crowded places such as wine shops and tea shops.

So to see the sales of the weekly, just find a wine store and sit down and see how it goes.
