Chapter Ninety-Eight: Zhu Di's Curiosity
"Oops! Wait a minute.. What are you selling, how come I've never seen it before? ”
"yes.. I've never heard of it either.."
"This newspaper is a rarity! It was specially printed by the Baoyuan Bureau.,I'll unfold a copy for you to see.. The above records are all the big and small things in the capital, and the most important thing is that there are famous works on it, and the "Journey to the West" on sale today is wonderful! ”
"Come on.. Let's buy one by one and take a look."
....
There are many literate people in teahouses and other places, so the potential customer base is the widest... When the child in charge of selling the newspaper takes the newspaper out of the satchel he carries with him.
Everyone present was a little stunned, and some people exclaimed: "This thing really looks like a newspaper!" But with such a large piece of paper, I'm afraid the price is also expensive! ”
"Who's to say it's not... There is also the ink printed on this paper, which is a very precious quality at a glance! ”
The guest at the head looked at the child selling the newspaper with some confusion and said, "How much does your newspaper cost?" I'll start with that... If it's too expensive, I don't want it! ”
Unexpectedly, the child waved his hand again and again.
said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive!" This newspaper only needs two copper plates, even if you go to the street to eat a bowl of mixed noodles! ”
"What?"
"This newspaper only costs two pennies?"
After hearing the price, many people took out the copper plate and said: "Since it is so cheap, why bother so many people to watch together, come.. Get me a copy, I'm going to see what's so rare about it!" ”
"Yes! It's not expensive anyway.. It's not bad for these two pennies! ”
"Buy it and try it. If it's boring, don't buy it again in the future. What's more, this paper and ink look good, and I'm afraid the printing money alone is more than two pennies! ”
The child at the head smiled and distributed the newspaper in his cloth bag to everyone, and after a while, the small cloth bag he carried with him was filled with heavy copper plates.
"Oops?! The guests are really generous.. No one buys it, so I'll sell it somewhere else first! ”
"Go, go, go! This little brat... It's going to be business again! ”
The never-before-seen newspaper and the neat layout made many people present full of curiosity about the newspaper in their hands at the moment.
Suddenly, someone saw "Journey to the West", which occupied a lot of space.
I watched it with great interest.. When I saw the classic scene of the birth of the stone monkey, my eyes were full of incredibleness, and I held the newspaper tightly in my hand and said to everyone: "Have you ever read the birth of the stone monkey in this newspaper, it is so exciting... It's so exciting! ”
"I don't know what kind of people can have such wild ideas."
Time passes slowly.
More and more people have noticed "Journey to the West" in the newspaper and gradually become fascinated.
"It's been a long time since I've seen an article like this... That's right! Have any of you noticed that there is an unfinished sentence at the end of this, doesn't it mean that as long as we keep buying newspapers, we can always see such wonderful works? ”
"Shhhhh I'm done! Hearty.. Dongsheng Shenzhou.. But then again, this Baoyuan Distillery recently bought one get one free, do you want to take a look later?"
.....
The popularity of the newspapers.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Wenhuan shouted excitedly at the newspaper bureau: "Today alone, our newspaper has sold nearly 10,000 copies in the capital!" ”
At this time, another official of the Baoyuan Bureau on the side.
But he frowned and said: "Even if it sells 10,000 copies, counting the silver that our newspaper bureau wants to give to those children who sell newspapers, this is calculated... I'm afraid I won't be able to make a penny. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Wenhuan was also like a defeated rooster.
He looked at Wang Siqi on the side with a somewhat depressed expression and said, "Lord Wang.. This newspaper is not as valuable as you say, and I heard that this newspaper can sell well."
"Or is it because the "Journey to the West" you sent is wonderful enough."
Seeing that everyone's eyes turned to themselves.
Wang Siqi waved his hand and said: "Of course, the newspaper itself is not to make money... The advertising fee in the newspaper is the biggest way to get money, and I will ask Baoyuan Distillery and Zanghua Pavilion to send the advertising fee this time in a while. ”
"Advertising costs?"
"Baoyuan Distillery and Zanghua Pavilion, advertised in the newspapers... The so-called advertising is to advertise widely, just by relying on a newspaper, maybe it can bring them a steady stream of customers, which must not be bought? ”
"However, our seven-day release frequency is still too slow... Switch to once every three days! ”
"In addition, the newspaper will also be renamed 'Beijing News' from the next issue!"
.....
Intrauterine.
In the depths of the vermilion palace wall, Zhu Di was sitting next to the dragon case and reviewing the folds, and his frowning brows could see that he was not in a good mood at the moment.
"This boss, how did he send me so many problems!"
"Someone is coming.. Send all these folds to the prince, and say that I think I can do it! As for the silver, let him figure it out for himself."
"Yes! The slave and the maid will go. ”
The eunuch went down, and Zhu Di decided to go out of the palace to relax.
He beckoned the eunuch and said, "I'll go out of the palace with me in a while, this palace is really boring... With so many excerpts, what is the matter with the boss sending them all to me?"
"He is the prince of the prison country, how can I take the idea of anything!"
It didn't take long for Zhu Di to change into clothes and slowly open the palace door. Out of the palace.
Sitting in the carriage, Zhu Di looked at the hustle and bustle of the street with great interest, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The people can live and work in peace and contentment, which is my greatest achievement!" As long as the Ming Dynasty can stand forever, who else can say that I am not in the right position! ”
The carriage came to a sudden stop.
made Zhu Di a little displeased: "What's the matter, why did the carriage stop?" ”
Only then did the eunuch come in with a bitter face and said, "The emperor.. The streets in front of here are full of people, and the carriages can't get through."
"Oh?"
"There's something like this, you go and find out... Today is not a special day, why is the capital so lively? ”
"Hey! Slave and maid, go and see! ”
Not long after, the eunuch came back quickly and said, "The emperor. . . It's all clear, it's because today there is suddenly a thing called a newspaper in the capital, and the people are buying it one after another! ”
"There's an interesting article above.. The people in the streets and alleys are talking about it! ”
"Newspapers?"
"How have I never heard of it. . . Go, buy a copy and come back, I want to see what's different about this newspaper! ”
