Chapter 107: Changning Evening News

Listening to Lu Ning's words, Fu Bo just smiled a little embarrassedly and replied.

"I told the young master just now, taking care of you is the greatest relief, I don't want to be an official, and besides, I'm old and have no fame or knowledge, how can I have that kind of non-divisive thinking."

Lu Ning nodded and said solemnly.

"Some people will rush to it as soon as they hear that they can do it, and it is rare for you to have such self-knowledge, which is a good thing, at least a way to protect yourself."

When it comes to running a newspaper, Lu Ning is naturally very concerned, he specially found the county clerk and the chief bookkeeper, and instructed them.

"We are going to set up an organization in our county, called Changning Evening News, you go and issue a notice, I want to openly select the president of this newspaper, so that everyone can come and sign up as long as they feel that they are suitable."

As soon as these words came out, the two officials were very confused, and they didn't know what was going on.

What the hell is this newspaper, they have never heard of it, Master Ma asked first.

"County Honor, it's easy to issue notices, but we have to explain to others what the newspaper is, and you have to explain it first."

Lu Ning told all the two subordinates what he had told Fu Bo, and explained in detail the institutional settings and precautions of the evening newspaper.

After listening, the two subordinates couldn't help but applaud, and Master Ma said.

"Actually, I also bought and read the one you published, and it was really well written, but I also think that some people may be reluctant to buy it, and it will be much more convenient for everyone with this newspaper."

Lu Ning nodded, and he told the two Zuo Erguan.

"Therefore, it is very necessary to set up this Changning Evening News, and I am not only going to advertise this time, but also to select a suitable newspaper president."

Sun Xiancheng, who is also a loyal reader of Lu Ning, also asked.

"In this case, the president of this newspaper must pay his salary sufficiently, and I think he will get at least twenty taels of silver every month."

Lu Ning shook his head, and he told the two.

"The president of the newspaper I set up does not have a basic salary, but there is a commission, and for every newspaper sold, he will have a commission, which will be settled once every ten days."

Sun Xiancheng roughly calculated the president's salary, if he sold 100,000 newspapers a day, it would be 200,000 yuan, and the newspaper's income would be 200,000 taels of silver.

That can get 10% of the income as a salary, that is, the president can get at least 20 taels of silver every day.

This should be regarded as a very high-paying profession, after all, in Daming, the annual salary of a first-class official is only less than two hundred taels.

As the president of a newspaper under Lu Ning, he has a guaranteed minimum of 600 taels of silver every month, and this kind of good thing can naturally squeeze his head out.

Lu Ning was also very generous, he told the two subordinates.

"Of course, there is also the cost of printing newspapers, as well as the cost of paper, ink, and labor, and after these are dug out, there will be at least a hundred taels of silver a day."

Speaking of this, he could clearly see that Sun Xiancheng and Master Ma were staring at him expectantly, as if they were looking at a piece of big fat meat.

So, Lu Ning continued.

"So this distribution method is very simple, the hundred taels of silver are divided into two parts, half of which is used as the daily expenses of the county government, and the other half is subsidized by the lives of colleagues and officials."

Hearing this, these two subordinates got what they wanted, and they almost jumped up to thank Lu Ning.

The county of the eighth grade and the master of the ninth grade, their annual income is only fifty taels of silver, and it is not enough to do anything.

If there are fifty taels of silver a day to give them as a subsidy, the part that is dug out to the officials can be cared for, and the two officials can each get about ten taels.

This is three thousand taels a year, which is not a small amount, and they must recite the benefits of Lu Ning.

Lu Ning looked at their appearance, and naturally understood the mood of these two people, so he said slowly.

"I will naturally give you the money that can be subsidized as much as possible, and if you take my money, you will never be able to exploit the people and merchants again, and if I let me know, I will never give up with you."

The two subordinates hurriedly said that they would absolutely abide by the law and never do anything bad about the law.

In fact, these two people also know very well in their hearts that they can earn thousands of taels of silver every year in an open and honest manner, why should they be corrupt officials.

The Changning Evening News was soon officially established, and Sun Xiancheng not only issued a notice soon, but also personally explained to everyone what the newspaper and the president were all about.

Hearing that there would be such a large salary as president, the people who came here to apply for jobs directly lined up in a long line.

Everyone crossed the sea with eight immortals, each showing their abilities, and some people even asked the disciple to find Lu Ning, saying that they must win this position.

Lu Ning scratched his head and looked at these people, and directly shook the pot and said.

"I don't have to worry about this matter, after all, I am still a little busy with official business, and everything is presided over by Sun Xiancheng and Master Ma, just look for them."

These two officers almost laughed, are you still busy with official business? What a joke.

What are you busy doing, are you busy writing and drinking sour plum soup when you go home?

However, although this pot was thrown out, these two officials also directly made a difficulty.

After all, it's all about finding relationships, and it's a question of who to choose or not to choose, and it's easy to offend people.
