The office location of the newspaper has been prepared for a long time, and Lan Tianming took Lu Ning's note and came directly to the newspaper to take office.

When the two officials saw the president of the newspaper coming, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, they had been so embarrassed recently that they finally didn't need to think about the candidate.

Lan Tianping was very easy-going, and did not reveal his identity as a little marquis to these two officials, and was busy with his own work as the director of the newspaper.

At this time, as he expected, the Changning Evening News had just been released, and it became instantly popular.

Changning County now has a population of more than 300,000, so the Changning Evening News tried to distribute 100,000 copies a day, but it was instantly snatched up when it came out that day.

If you only use two cents per newspaper, 100,000 copies is also the expected 200 taels of silver, which is also a very high income.

According to the price calculation, one tael of silver can buy 400 catties of rice, enough for one person to eat more than a year.

After removing the cost of printing and labor, the daily profit is one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and Lan Tianping can put twenty taels in his pocket.

He thought to himself, this kind of business is so easy to do, he simply don't go back to Beijing, and he will be the president here all the time.

If you don't steal or rob, you can get 20 taels of silver a day, and you will have an income of 6,000 taels a year, where can you find such a good thing?

Even if he is a marquis, if he only relies on serious money, he will only be a thousand taels of silver a year.

Two days later, Lan Tianping ordered a large table of dishes in the most famous local Fumanlou and sent them to Lu Ning's small courtyard.

He also specially recruited Liu Changlu, the governor of Changzhou, to accompany him.

At this time, Liu Changlu already knew Lan Tianping's identity, so he was naturally very polite.

Lu Ning glanced at the two of them and said to Lan Tianping helplessly.

"I said what is the situation with you, my small courtyard wants wine, wine, meat and meat, and Fu Bo's craftsmanship has nothing to say, why do you have to order food outside, isn't this a little bit of money in vain."

Lan Tianping smiled, and he told Lu Ning.

"I've been the president of the newspaper for two days, and I earned forty taels of silver, no matter how good this table of banquet is, it's only five taels, Zi'an, this fat water doesn't flow into the fields of outsiders, and I have to sit all the way to the end of the president's position."

Lu Ning was also very big-headed, he looked at Lan Tianping and asked.

"Aren't you going to go home and inherit tens of billions of family assets? Anyway, it's the son of a marquis, what kind of mess is it with me, play for a few days, and hurry back to pull it down. ”

Let Lu Ning squeeze like this, Lan Tianping was also a little helpless, and he glanced at Liu Changlu who was accompanying him.

Governor Liu is a person who is good at making mud, he saw the aggrieved eyes of the little marquis, and hurriedly said.

"Actually, it's also a career to do well, Zi'an, think about it, this is also a contribution to our Changning, if this newspaper is really bigger and stronger, and extends to other places, then Hongduhou will also have a bright face."

Lu Ning sighed, he understood why Lan Tianping had to call Liu Changlu here, it turned out that he had found strong foreign aid.

So, he had to answer a little helplessly.

"Okay, if you are willing to do it, you can continue to do it, but after all, you are still a member of the court, you can't always mess around with me, you have to do something serious in the future, you can't be like me, an idle cloud and a wild crane."

Lan Tianping was a little unhappy in his heart, you just stand and talk without backache, you can idle clouds and wild cranes, usually I have to do something serious.

However, he has already made up his mind anyway, no matter what Lu Ning says, he will continue to work in this newspaper.

And he also set up different sections on his own, some are news, some are serials, and some are small tofu cubes like jokes.

Not only is it very readable, but it is also very interesting, which suddenly doubled the circulation of Changning Evening News, and even other counties under the jurisdiction of Changzhou government came to buy newspapers.

This alarmed the Jinyi guards who were running errands near Changzhou Mansion, and they didn't understand what this newspaper was, so they bought a copy and wanted to study it.

After buying it, they saw the situation in the newspaper, and then they thought that this was really a good thing, so they reported it to Sun Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

After reading it, Sun Gang also thought that this thing was very good, so he inquired about who was distributing this thing.

learned that it was Lu Ning's idea, and in practice, it was Lan Tianping who was in charge of the specific matter, so he wrote this down and reported it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the same time, a few copies of the Changning Evening News were also attached, so that Zhu Yuanzhang could see what this thing was.

In addition to Zhu Yuanzhang's official business, he is also studying the Changning Evening News, this thing is really good, there is everything, and it is very cheap.

So, he found Zhu Biao again and handed him the evening newspaper to read.

After reading it, Zhu Biao said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile.

"Father, the son thinks this thing is really good, although it is to learn the form of the Di newspaper, the content is very down-to-earth, and it can be issued to the people, which can not only allow the government to obtain benefits, but also really benefit the people, killing two birds with one stone."

After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.

"Sun Gang of Jinyiwei also said that this thing is the kid from the Lanyu family, Lan Tianping, who is specifically responsible for it, and the content is also designed by him, this kid usually looks at Jiao'er Langdang, and now after making friends with Zi'an, it is really good."

Zhu Biao usually has contact with Lan Tianping, and he also thinks that although that guy is not bad in nature, he is just a gentleman, but he didn't expect to do serious things now.

Therefore, I also followed Zhu Yuanzhang's words and praised a few words.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment before saying to Zhu Biao.

"Why don't we go to Changning again, learn from Zi'an how this Changning Evening News works, and if it's appropriate to go back, let's also run a Yingtian Evening News."
