The two walked quickly to the old man, their eyes full of anxiety, but when they saw Yun Ze on the side, the two nodded politely.

"Why are you here......" The old man saw the two of them, and his tone was soft.

Speaking of this, he looked at Yun Ze and hurriedly said to the two: "Cheng'er, Lan'er, come and see Engong, if it wasn't for this son's rescue just now, my father is afraid that he won't be able to see you!" ”

"Childe, the little old man is confused, and he doesn't know Childe's surname and name......" His face was full of guilt.

"In Xia Yunze, the old man can call me Yun Ze, call me Gongzi, and I dare not be ashamed!" Yun Ze smiled slightly at the old man.

The two didn't talk a few words, and the other party still didn't know his name, and he didn't know the other party's name.

"Yun Ze...... You are the Yunze Yun Gongzi who moved Danyang......" Before the old man could react, the woman on the side was the first to exclaim. The man on the side was eager.

"Is it really Yunze Gongzi!" He looked at Yun Ze expectantly.

Yun Ze looked at the two of them in surprise, and said with a slight smile: "The Yun Ze you said should be me......

"It's really Yun Gongzi, that's great...... Xiaosheng has always wanted to visit his son, but he has no chance. I can't think of ......" The man was a little excited. I almost came up and grabbed Yun Ze's hand and didn't let go.

The woman beside him was also full of excitement, and her eyes were full of burning when she looked at Yun Ze.

When the old man on the side saw this, a smile appeared on his face.

"Yun Gongzi, forgive me...... I, two unsuccessful children, have always admired you and wanted to find an opportunity to learn from you. They lost their temper, and the little old man will compensate you! ”

The old man got up and saluted Yun Ze respectfully, and his daughter and son also hurriedly and cautiously saluted Yun Ze.

"Sir, don't be polite...... Hurry up, please ......" Yun Ze hurriedly helped the other party up.

"Little old man Lu Qi, this is the dog Lu Cheng and the little girl Lu Lan!" The old man Lu Qi hurriedly introduced his children to Yun Ze.

"Old Lu, since you talked about selling the store, the little nephew has a proposal, I don't know if you would like to hear it!" Yun Ze smiled at Lu Qi and said.

When Lu Qi heard this, his expression was stunned at first, but his face showed a look of joy. Yun Ze's self-proclaimed in front of him, using his little nephew, obviously expressed his full respect for him, which made him a little flattered.

"Yun Gongzi, please speak, little old man listens......" he saluted again.

When Yun Ze heard this, he couldn't help but laugh for a while, Lu Qi in front of him was deeply poisoned by corrupt Confucian thoughts, and this etiquette was really a headache. He didn't bother to correct it either.

Seeing the other party like that, no matter how he corrected it, he probably couldn't correct it back. When you get older, your mind becomes stubborn.

Yun Ze looked at Lu Qi and said:

"Your shop, I bought it, Lu Lao is still the shopkeeper, I can give Lu Lao Ercheng's dividends, however, in terms of the operation of the store, I want to change it, Lu Lao himself should also have a printing workshop." I also sold it. ”

"By the way, I don't know if Mr. Lu and Miss Lu can join the business together. On the salary, I will give you one hundred taels a month! ”

When Lu Qi heard this, he looked at Yun Ze in astonishment, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Yun Ze's proposal, for him, is simply to save him from fire and water, even if he has an income from miscellaneous books, but after the miscellaneous things are removed, the profit is only more than 100 taels a month.

But now, Yun Ze asked their family of three to work for him in one go, and the wages they gave added up to twice his monthly profit. Not to mention, Yun Ze also gave him a twenty percent dividend.

"Yun Gongzi, this can't be helped, if Yun Gongzi likes my old man, five taels a month is enough!" Lu Qi waved his hand again and again.

"As for the dog and the little girl, although they are idle at home, they ...... They can't help much, and they can't let them add trouble to Childe. ”

Lu Qi thought that Yun Ze was helping him at a loss, which made him feel very uneasy. I dare not accept such a good thing. The salary he asks for is also the salary that an ordinary shopkeeper can get.

"Old Lu, you can rest assured about this, since I have decided to sell your shop, of course there is a use for me, as for Lu Gongzi and Miss Lu, I still have a heavy responsibility to hand over to them, one hundred and two months, I am afraid that it will be less, if it is developed well in the future, the salary will be increased ......"

Yun Ze waved his hand at Lu Qi.

Lu Cheng and Lu Lan on the side opened their mouths, and Lu Cheng took the lead in speaking: "Brother Yun, if you can do something for you, even if you don't need money, you are willing." ”

Thinking that if they could really do something for Yun Ze, of course they were a hundred willing, and they didn't even want wages.

Lu Lan nodded, her face full of anticipation.

Lu Qi wanted to say something, but Yun Ze stopped him and said: "Lu Lao, you put a hundred hearts, since I said yes, I will definitely be able to do it, you just say yes or not, if Lu Qi is unwilling, I will still go to other bookstores!" ”

When Lu Qi heard this, he sighed, and said with guilt on his face: "Yun Gongzi has said so, and if the little old man refuses to resign, he will not know how to raise it, but, Yun Gongzi, if the bookstore business is not good, I don't want the salary!" So, you see, okay! If not, then the little old man can only thank Yun Gongzi for his kindness! ”

When Yun Ze heard this, he sighed at the old man's stubbornness, and he smiled slightly: "Okay! Then do what Lu Lao said, and we will make a contract now! ”

When Lu Qi heard this, he did not hesitate, and hurriedly took a pen and paper to write the contract, and sold his shop to Yun Ze.

After Yun Ze signed the contract, he said to Lu Qi: "Lu Lao, I want to renovate this bookstore, and in addition, I also want to start a newspaper!" How does it work...... I'll tell you ......."

Yun Ze told Lu Qi about his thoughts, about how to start a newspaper and what should be written in the newspaper. And then there's how to sell the newspaper.

Listening and listening, Lu Qi also raised his own questions.

For example, when he heard Yun Ze say that he would write miscellaneous books in newspapers, Lu Qi felt that if he did this, the miscellaneous books would be sold for less money.

After all, the newspaper proposed by Yun Ze is a five-text one. If the miscellaneous books are only sold for five texts, it will be a big loss, not to mention that the value of the miscellaneous books themselves has not been sold, even the paper money is not enough.

At this time, even the worst piece of paper costs almost five cents a piece, and it would be good for ordinary people to earn ten cents for a day's work.

The coolies with higher wages are estimated to be about 50 yuan. A piece of paper may be tired and tired for half a day.

If you don't need to read, who will spend money to buy paper. Moreover, at this time, the illiteracy rate was sixty percent. Even if there is a newspaper, not many people can read it.

Yun Ze smiled at this. He is not worried about the high cost of paper, because other people's papermaking technology is backward, the process is poor, and even the use of materials is relatively limited.

But he is standing on the shoulders of giants, there are too many materials that can be used to make paper, and the level of craftsmanship will be higher, not to mention advanced technology, and the cost will be lower.

Even the paper that has been made can be recycled. Anyway, the newspaper material doesn't necessarily need to be good. If you sell a newspaper for five documents, you can also take it back one by one.

As for the problem of illiteracy, there is no need to worry, after all, it is impossible for Yun Ze to sell the newspaper to everyone, only a few out of ten people are literate.

For those who can't read words, there will always be someone who can read and help them. Once the newspaper is successfully launched, the content inside is attractive, and there is absolutely no need to worry about the sales of the newspaper.

After all, no one can compete with him yet. Monopolies are sometimes scary.

Even if someone wants to plagiarize, the first thing is the consumption of paper, no one can compare with Yun Ze, the papermaking technology is in his hands, who can fight with him.

The second is the novel, the novel story in Yun Ze's head, in this era, I am afraid that no one can compare with him. Once it is known, it is difficult for anyone who wants to replace it.

Moreover, after the newspaper is issued, it can also set off a wave of reading and literacy, and it is better to read according to the words in the newspaper than to buy a book, after all, a book first costs one or two silver.

Moreover, there is a limit to the number of words in a book.

Hearing Yun Ze's explanation, Lu Cheng and Lu Lan on the side were full of reverence, and they agreed with Yun Ze's statement, but Lu Qi was skeptical.

But since Yun Ze said so, of course he did it.

Yun Ze told him how to make the layout, and told Lu Qi that the first issue would be published the day after tomorrow, so that he could do a good job in the printing workshop. The first issue of the newspaper will be 1,000 copies.

And these thousand copies were sent out in the form of free gifts, and the work of free delivery was handed over to Lu Cheng and Lu Lan, and Yun Ze's request was to cover the whole city. Moreover, it is necessary to send out movement.

Yun Ze was going to send Lu Qi a small talk book for the first chapter before tomorrow, and he chose Journey to the West! However, he will change a lot of the story background in it slightly.

When Lu Qi heard that Yun Ze's little talk book would be issued in chapters, he calculated an account, and he found that according to Yun Ze's thinking, it was better to make more money than selling a miscellaneous book.

After all, Yun Ze said that his little talk was hundreds of chapters! There are five texts in one chapter, and hundreds of chapters can reach a few taels and one book! It's not a loss! Of course, only if it can be successful!
