Chapter 44 The Formation of the Colorado Newspaper
Zhen Kerou didn't go over the corner and changed the topic to cover up the fact that she was exposed.
"I'm here this time because I have something to ask for."
"What's wrong?"
Zhen Kerou showed a touch of joy on her face, she really wanted to help Lu Yu, but she was just a little girl and couldn't help at all, just when she was worried, Lu Yu sent her a gift.
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yu's mouth: "I want you to run a newspaper." ”
"Newspapers? What is this, and why have I never heard of it? ”
Zhen Kerou looked dazed, she was also a person who had studied in school for several years, although she didn't know much, but at least she had read some books, but she had never heard of any newspapers.
"The news media is the news media."
"What is this?" Zhen Kerou didn't quite understand what she was saying, she felt that she was talking about something. I can read each of these words, but when they are combined, I can't understand them.
Lu Yu touched her head and said with a doting expression.
"This newspaper, to put it bluntly, is for you to write a press release, issue a press release, and play a leading role."
"But to whom am I going to pass it on? In Dawu, most of the people who can read are high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, and the ordinary people are almost illiterate. ”
"Therefore, we need to segment the news and publish different news for different groups of people."
Lu Yu looked at Zhen Kerou's concentrated appearance, and did not stop, but continued to speak.
After a long time, Zhen Kerou listened to all Lu Yu's words, and her expression could not hide her excitement.
"Then when are we going to get a newspaper out?" Zhen Kerou couldn't wait to write something.
"Tomorrow morning, I have finished the newspaper, you first prepare the manuscript of the newspaper for me, and then, it's your business."
"That's it? A few years ago? ”
"This is simple, it's called Kerou."
"You, how can you take me for the name of a newspaper?" Zhen Kerou said that she was unhappy, but she was very happy in her heart.
"Isn't that your name?"
The next day, the Kerou newspaper opened on time, and the people passing by were curious about what kind of strange thing this store was.
A group of young women, holding a stack of papers in their hands, distributed them to everyone, and said that it was His Majesty's will.
A young man said a little shyly to a girl with a newspaper.
"I'm sorry, miss, I'm illiterate."
"Young master, it's okay, even if I don't know it, I can still see this document."
When the young man heard this, although he did not know the words, he could still read them, and when he took the newspaper and looked at it, he realized that it was not a text at all, but a caricature that was easy to understand.
For example, in "Waste Paper", there is a shrunken "Emperor" in a "Waste Paper", posing with his hands on his chest.
Another example is that the emperor wants to open a primary school, which is a school, and a cross is made with a dollar in the upper left corner of the school, and the emperor will point to you to read the newspaper.
And, with the explanation of the young girl, he also understood.
"Your Majesty wants to abolish bamboo slips and replace them with paper, and even build a academy for the people to read for free!"
The young man shouted excitedly, and there were more and more people around him.
One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and soon, this matter spread in the Jingshi.
In a palatial mansion, a young man who looks like a rich kid is looking at a newspaper on the table, which has some simple pictures, but more words.
There are two main parts of it, one of which is the order issued by His Majesty.
The other is entertainment, and the other is that His Majesty Taizu took away an old man, and he said that he would use paper instead of bamboo slips.
And the other one is even more murderous, going straight to the homepage, with a very long four-panel comic. The headline reads: "Surprise! "The wife of the minister, and Lu Yu, a great Confucian in Beijing, were born for a blank piece of paper, and the secretary apologized for his death with his death!"
The general meaning is that the paper is made by Lu Yu, and his wife likes this kind of paper very much, so the two of them will secretly date.
Shi Jingming knew about this matter and petitioned His Majesty to ban paper, but His Majesty not only did not allow it, but also deposed his bamboo book and promoted it instead.
The rich young master was also confused, and he didn't have time to drink the tea in his hand, because this news was simply explosive news.
In the Situ family, Shi Jingming was reprimanding his wife like a cannon.
"Tell me, where did this note come from, do you have anything to do with Lu Yu? Are you going to let a little eunuch cuckold me on my head? ”
The noble woman came up with a resounding slap in the face, which made Shi Jingming dizzy.
"What a guts, stone boy! How dare you question me like that! If it weren't for my eldest brother, you would have ended up like this! You're going to rebel! ”
Shi Jingming saw that this noble lady was Xiao Yi's sister, so he could only grit his teeth and stop talking.
"My lord, there are a lot of people outside, they are asking......" A waiter walked in tremblingly.
Shi Jingming said impatiently, "What do you ask?"
"My subordinates know it's wrong."
"If you don't say anything, I'll kick you!
"They're asking if the owner is still alive..."
Suddenly, the waiter slapped him in the face again.
"The head of the family, all the officials of the court and the central government have sent subordinates to ask the head of the family for advice......"
Before the next person could answer, Shi Jingming had already kicked him to the ground.
"Let's go."
After a while, the waiter walked in slowly.
"What's the matter?"
"I sent someone to want to know you...... Isn't it already ......?"
Shi Jingming was directly so angry that he fainted......
Mr. Xue's home in the capital.
The man, Scar, and several of his men, were leaning into their seats, gouging out their ears.
"Xue Gongzi, are you going to pay back the two thousand taels of silver?"
"Old man Dao, this is not the last time, do you still doubt the reputation of our Xue family? Xue Baichuan said with a smile.
"Fame? Can I use it? ”
As he spoke, he placed the newspaper in his hand heavily on the table, and slapped his hands vigorously.
"Didn't Lord Xue pay attention, the new edicts have been issued, the bamboo books are all scrapped, and paper is used instead, how can your Xue family pay it back?"
"Well, this policy may not be enforced, and it will take a lot of effort to cancel a tradition that has been around for hundreds of years."
When Xue Baichuan heard that he was going to abolish the bamboo slips, he immediately became excited, he did this business, this is what he has done all his life, how can he let His Majesty charge him for this crime?
"I don't know if you can refuse, but in front of you, your bamboo slip will never be bought, right? Otherwise, you can return the silver to me now, when the government will not be able to carry it out, and your Xue family will rise again, I will naturally lend you the silver. ”
