Chapter 217: Popular
At that moment, some people couldn't help but ask: "After reading this newspaper today, when will the next edition be published?" ”
"Such an interesting newspaper, I still want to hear it!"
As soon as they heard this, everyone also agreed.
"When will the next newspaper be published?" I can't wait! ”
"Who said this newspaper reads dry? I think this newspaper is as wonderful as the storytelling. ”
When the young man standing on the stage heard this, he also accepted the newspaper with a smile and said to everyone: "Your Majesty said that in the future, this newspaper will be published once a week." ”
"Once the newspaper is released, my Hu Teahouse will organize people to read the newspaper as soon as possible."
"You don't have to worry, as long as you come to the Hu Teahouse often, I guarantee that you can hear this newspaper as soon as possible!"
This weekly time was also obtained by Hu Changan after discussing with everyone in the Ministry of Rites.
Originally, Hu Changan wanted to publish a newspaper once a day.
However, this suggestion was quickly rejected by the people in the Ministry of Rites.
There is no other reason, there is really not so much to write about in the newspaper.
After all, in ancient times, the transmission of information was really slow.
In ancient times, there was no Internet like later generations, and any message, as long as the mobile phone was sent, it could be transmitted to all directions.
In ancient times, news could only be spread by word of mouth.
Invisibly, this reduces the amount of information.
After all, only really big things will be eligible to be passed on to Ying Tian City.
So, this is not something that happens every day.
Sometimes it takes even ten days and a half to wait for an interesting new story to appear.
In addition, if the newspaper is published every day, the manpower and material resources required are really not a small amount.
At present, movable type printing has not yet been fully promoted in the printing room of the Ministry of Rites.
Even if the Ministry of Rites could produce a newspaper every day, the workers in the printing room did not have the skills to print it.
Therefore, Hu Changan had no choice but to settle for the second best thing, and set the time of the newspaper's circulation to once a week.
However, Rao is like this, and everyone is still very satisfied.
You know, in ancient times, entertainment was very poor.
It's nice to be able to listen to the newspaper once a week.
When Qiangzi heard this, he also took a sip of tea and secretly made up his mind in his heart.
At this time next week, he must come to Hu's Teahouse early to listen to the newspaper!
Soon, the week was fleeting.
On this day, Hadron was very happy.
Because today is the day of the second issue of the newspaper.
He was finally able to read the second issue of the newspaper!
On this day, Qiangzi finished his day's work early and rushed to the Hu Teahouse.
He must listen to this newspaper as soon as possible!
However, Hadron was just halfway through when he saw a circle of people on the side of the road.
Hadron couldn't help but be a little curious.
What the hell is this doing? Why are there so many people all of a sudden?
But Hadron wasn't ready to stay.
He also has to go to the Hu Teahouse to listen to the newspaper!
However, as soon as Qiangzi walked a few steps, there was a shout from the crowd: "Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, read the newspaper for free." ”
"All the fathers and fellow villagers have come to see it when they pass by!"
Hadron's footsteps couldn't help but stop.
You can hear newspapers on the street?
didn't have time to think about it, Hadron hurriedly squeezed into the crowd.
Sure enough, in the crowd, there stood a teenager in a short beat.
On the wall next to the boy, there was a newspaper pasted on it.
This young man is also one of the sales teams specially trained by Hu Changan.
As a person accepted by Hu Changan, naturally there is no one who is illiterate.
At this time, these sales guys made a temporary cameo appearance as newspaper readers.
Looking at the gathered crowd, the young man smiled: "Good afternoon, fellow villagers." ”
"Today, the second issue of this newspaper is finally out!"
"Next, it's up to me to read today's newspaper for you!"
As he spoke, the boy turned his gaze to the newspaper taped to the wall, and began to read it in a frustrated tone.
Seeing this, Hadron couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
To say that this young man's level of reading the newspaper is definitely not weaker than the newspaper reader in the Hu family's teahouse before.
Qiangzi never imagined that he could hear this magical newspaper on the street.
Qiangzi's love for this newspaper couldn't help but deepen.
In this way, this kind of thing called a newspaper quietly spread in Yingtian City.
The weekly newspaper suddenly made people's lives more interesting.
They could only hear these anecdotes from the squire's mouth, but now they can get their pleasure directly from the newspaper!
What's more, the interesting story in this newspaper is much more interesting than the squire's mouth!
And that's exactly what happened.
After all, this newspaper was compiled by the most prestigious storyteller in Heavenly City!
Every joke was come up with a lot of brains.
It's definitely a lot more interesting than a random squire's story.
What's more, this newspaper is not expensive.
For 50 copper coins, you can buy a newspaper collection from Hu's grocery store.
At this price, that's definitely cheap.
If you go out to buy it, I'm afraid it will cost more than 40 yuan just for so much rice paper.
The rice paper on which the things are printed is only 50 copper coins, which can definitely be said to be very cheap.
This pricing was naturally set by Hu Changan.
Hu Chang'an published newspapers mainly to manipulate public opinion.
Therefore, the price of this newspaper is naturally as low as possible.
Only low prices can attract more people to come and buy.
At this price, the Ministry of Rites even posted a little money into it.
It was Hu Changan who was so good at talking about the pros and cons to the people in the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites reluctantly allocated a sum of money to support Hu Changan's newspaper.
Therefore, the 50 articles quoted by Hu Changan can definitely be regarded as the cost price of the cost price.
The price of 50 wen a copy is definitely a price that most people in Yingtian City can afford.
If you are literate, you can buy it and read it for yourself.
If you are illiterate, you can also buy it back and let others read it to you.
Even if you buy it back and use it as paper to glue the windows, it is definitely a good deal!
As a result, the sales of this newspaper in Yingtian City continued to rise.
No matter how many newspapers the Ministry of Rites printed, they would always be sold out within three days.
Not only that, but now the major teahouses in Yingtiancheng have also launched newspaper reading business.
No matter where you go, you can hear the storyteller reading the newspaper in a low voice.
After all, everyone also wants to make money.
Everyone else reads the newspaper, but you don't read the newspaper, so how can you attract customers?
Today, newspapers have entered thousands of households in Yingtian City.
Almost all of us have learned about the newspaper from various sources.
If you hadn't read the newspaper, you would have been unanimously ridiculed by everyone!
