Chapter 89: Newspapers
Daji stood beside Fang Xiu and browsed from top to bottom.
A newspaper is a large piece of paper that can be folded and has various contents printed on it.
At the top, there are a few big characters written on the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing - Daqian Monthly.
Very eye-catching!
Sections are framed with lines at the bottom.
The middle part is what the imperial court has done recently, such as today's court meeting, Zhao Zizheng, the head of the Ministry of Works, promised His Majesty that the Jinyang Lake dam would be repaired within a month.
On either side is a script.
On one side is "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".
excerpted the first half of "Nie Xiaoqian".
On the other side is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
There were only the first seven times, and when it came to the competition to recruit relatives, it came to an abrupt end.
As a loyal reader of "The Legend of the Gods".
Halfway through the book, no one knows the feeling of being interrupted better than her......
I desperately want to know the plot after that, but I can only wait.
It was as if a cat was scratching at me.
It's torture!
"The host is good or bad......"
Daji giggled twice, her voice charming.
Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said: "It's not that the nature is bad, it's really helpless, if you keep chapters, if you want to make the newspaper popular all over the country, I don't know how long it will take."
This break in the chapter, the effect is immediately different, you don't need to think about it, you know, after the first issue of the monthly magazine is released, there must be countless people blocking the door of the study, urging the release of the second issue. ”
"The master is right, although it is not kind, but this break is necessary."
Daji said with a look of deep approval.
Fang Xiu reached out and picked up the newspaper, flipped through the page, showed the back to Daji, and said, "Look at the back again." ”
"Hmm."
Daji nodded, looking away.
The back of the newspaper is likewise divided into two areas.
The content on the left side is very simple, with a striking official book, it is written: Zhenbao Zhai new products, drunk flower red, a good rouge that Mrs. Yipin is using!
The content on the right is simpler, just a picture, not a landscape, but a graceful woman.
Daji looked at the portrait, a faint flush appeared on her pretty face, and said softly: "Master, people think that this portrait is a little inappropriate. ”
"Is there one?"
Fang Xiu was stunned and looked at the newspaper.
The portrait is very simple, with only a few strokes, and it is outlined.
Although the woman's posture is graceful, her clothes are not out of place, just an ordinary Luo skirt.
In later generations, it is no problem to use it as an illustration of fairy tales.
What's wrong with that?
Daji seemed to see the confusion in his master's eyes, and explained: "People just think that the portrait of a woman printed on it is not very solemn, and it is also a little explicit......"
Hear this.
Fang Xiu was a little surprised in his heart.
Unexpectedly, on the bed, Daji, who is charming and full of clever plans, actually has such a conservative side.
If you think about it, it's normal.
Daji's charm was never revealed only in front of him.
In essence, she is no different from the women of this era, the same tradition, the same conservative.
Since she doesn't think it's suitable, let's not print it for now, and talk about it later.
After all, showing the newspaper to Daji was just to get her to give her an opinion.
Although Fang Xiu knew a lot about newspapers, after all, he was a modern person's thinking, and he was different from the ancients who lived in the feudal era.
What is suitable and what is not suitable, someone still needs to refer to it.
Come to think of this.
Fang Xiu nodded and said, "Then listen to you, the Daqian Monthly will not print the portrait first, and then we will talk about it when other newspapers are published later." ”
"Hmm."
Daji snuggled up to Fang Xiu's side and asked softly, "Does the master plan to let Zhenbao Zhai print this newspaper?" ”
Fang Xiu said: "The newspaper is very important, and it is best to separate it from Zhenbao Zhai. ”
Speaking of which.
He looked at the delicate little face on the side and said with a smile: "Benxiang plans to build a shop that specializes in publishing newspapers, do you have a suitable name?" ”
Daji's delicate face showed a thoughtful look.
After a while, she seemed to think of something, raised her eyebrows, looked at Fang Xiu, and said with a little excitement: "Master, how about calling it Zhuxuan?" ”
The bamboo is slim and elegant, proud of the snow and frost, evergreen all year round, and has the style of a gentleman.
The shop that will distribute newspapers will be named Tanjukuken.
I also want to inspire the people of Daqian to be a gentleman like bamboo!
Daji was very satisfied with the name, and there was a look of anticipation between her eyebrows and eyes, eager to be praised by Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu didn't think about it that much, he just felt that the name was a little strange.
"Planting bamboo ......"
Fang Xiu muttered to himself, feeling more and more awkward, and said, "Why don't you call it Zhufeng Xuan." ”
"Bamboo Wind Pavilion...... It's also very good! ”
"Just listen to the master, it's called Zhufengxuan!"
Of the three words, two were adopted by the master.
Daji was already satisfied.
However, compared with Zhufengxuan, she still felt that the former was more charming.
"Master, how much silver is this newspaper for?"
There weren't many people around Fang Xiu who could be completely trusted, and after the Bamboo Wind Pavilion was built, Da Ji would definitely be in charge of it in a short period of time.
Daji also understands this truth, and wants to take advantage of the master's time to ask more about the specific details.
Regarding the pricing, Fang Xiu had already thought about it, and without hesitation, he said, "One penny for one piece!" ”
"A penny?"
Daji was slightly stunned, a little confused.
She hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Master, a boring book outside will be sold for three hundred yuan, and some of the better ones will even be sold for one or two silver."
Although the newspaper is only a piece of paper, its content is far more wonderful than any book on the market, and even if it sells for a hundred dollars, people will rush to buy it.
Moreover, in addition to the cost of paper, there are also manpower, material resources, and letterpress printing for printing this newspaper. ”
Fang Xiu looked at her, smiled, and said, "Let's not mention that there are advertisements for Zhenbao Zhai in the newspaper, which can make Zhenbao Zhai's sales wider and more popular, let's just say that the value of this newspaper itself is not comparable to silver."
Benxiang publishes a newspaper, and he didn't think about making money from the beginning......"
Although Daji didn't understand the meaning of the advertisement, he probably understood the mystery when he thought of the promotion of Jumbo Zhai on the back page.
But she doesn't think that a small newspaper can bring much benefit to Jumbo Zhai.
After all, there are not many literate people in the Daqian Empire, and even if they buy newspapers, they probably read the above scripts, for the so-called ...... Ads, should not be interested.
Besides.
After spending so much time, tossing and turning, and deliberately opening a shop to distribute this newspaper, what else could it be for, if not to make money?
Come to think of this.
Daji subconsciously glanced at the newspaper on the table.
Suddenly, a line of text came into view.
That's about the court, Zhao Zizheng, the head of the Ministry of Works, repairing the embankment.
Moment!
A flash of inspiration came to mind.
Daji got it!
"The master is going to use newspapers to promote the imperial court?"
