Chapter 219: Newspaper Sellers

After leaving three things, Chu Zhen, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and others left Guozijian and returned to the palace with lanterns.

But in the Guozi Prison, the excitement is still there.

Everyone knew that there were also astronomical telescopes and globes sent by Chu Zhenjun in the palace, but it was impossible for them to enter the palace to borrow them, and they could only see the moon in the sky tonight.

"Korean Gong, please first!"

Hu Weiyong arranged the order, and asked Li Shanchang to come and see it first with a smile on his face.

There was no opinion.

As the head of the founding heroes, the crown prince Yanwang and others are not below, and Li Shanchang deserves to be the first!

"Thank you Chu Zhenjun for the gift, so that I can wait to see the true face of the moon."

Li Shanchang arched his hand in the direction of the palace, and then stepped forward and put his eyes into the round mirror.

When he saw clearly, his eyes shrank.

The gray moon was clear, half illuminated, half hidden in shadows.

There are many potholes in the round moon.

It is suspended in the black night sky, and it is deeply impressive.

"Korean Gong?"

Behind him, Hu Weiyong said.

Li Shanchang came back to his senses, stood up straight, sighed and said, "Today I know the wonder of heaven and earth!" ”

Hu Weiyong was itchy when he heard it, and he also wanted to take a look, but he was now in charge of supervision, so it was not good to see it in advance.

So he invited a few more princes to come forward and let them see it too.

Anyone who saw the moon with their own eyes was amazed, making the officials in line behind him more and more curious.

One by one, they stepped forward and put their eyes on the round mirror, and the moon shifted, and Yang Ye moved it slightly according to the method taught by Chu Zhenjun.

Song Lian, Qian Tang, Han Yike, Su Boheng, Wu Shen......

After reading it, these Confucian ministers were all exchanging the moon scene they had just seen, guessing why there were so many pits on the moon, and whether the Guanghan Palace, Guishu, and Chang'e Wu Gang that had been handed down since ancient times were on the back side of the moon, so they couldn't see it?

But if the immortals learned that the people on the earth actually peeked into the heavenly palace with binoculars, they were afraid that they would also be furious, right?

“…… Teacher! ”

Fang Xiaoru also finished reading it, and was immersed in shock for a while, and he was unwilling, and wanted to ask the teacher.

Song Lian had already made up his mind in his heart, and said to him and everyone: "The mathematics and science class of Guozijian will start another day, and I will come to audit again." ”

The crowd looked at him.

Song Lian said: "I want to know if this astronomical and mathematical knowledge can let us understand the principle of the operation of heaven and earth!" ”

"What Qianxi Gong said is extremely true."

Qian Tang bowed to him and said with a smile: "When the mathematics and science class starts, I will go to audit." ”

Many agreed, saying that they would go too.

"I heard that His Majesty is still ordering someone to prepare a book of mathematics and science?"

"It is Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Industry who are in charge, and the book is also handed down by Chu Zhenjun."

In the midst of the discussion, many officials of the Ming Dynasty left the Guozijian, and their servants had been waiting outside for a long time with lanterns.

Fortunately, the Holy One was here tonight, the curfew was lifted, and everyone went home at night.

The thousands of students who stayed behind continued to queue up.

Yang Ye saw that there were too many people waiting, so he asked them to go to Qin Tianjian in the future, no, go to the Academy of Sciences to use binoculars.

Many of the students dispersed and returned to the school building to rest.

……

Chu Zhen lived in Wangjiang Tower for two days.

The first newspaper of the Ming Dynasty was finally printed.

A total of 1,500 copies were printed, and the Hanlin Academy was responsible for entrusting several printing shops in Tianfu to print them, and then using some of the relationship between the printing shops and booksellers to send the newspapers to the bookstores.

After the newspaper was published, Chu Zhen deliberately rode around the city on horseback and walked through the shops selling newspapers.

Bookshops, markets, bookstores, book forests, etc.

There are any names for the places where books are sold, but newspapers, a piece of tissue paper costs ten cents, who will be the big boss!

Sales can't be said to be none, only bleak!

"Sure enough, the policy is good, but it won't work as soon as it is implemented."

Chu Zhen could only shake his head and sigh.

Lao Zhu personally wrote articles for the newspaper, published the solar and lunar eclipses in the newspapers, allowed the folk to study astronomy, and also wrote about Chu Zhen's lectures in Guozijian, and the group of talented people in the Hanlin Academy wrote a wonderful case in the vernacular with their literary brilliance.

It is not to be said that it is not taken seriously.

Ten cents is also worth the money, and the price can be reduced by a few cents if you print more.

As a result, the matter of the newspaper was handed over to the Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin Yuan handed it over to the printing shop, which printed it and threw it at the bookstore.

The first printing of 1,500 copies, 500 of which were sent to the homes of officials.

"It seems that this newspaper ......"

Zhang Hanlin, who followed Chu Zhen around Yingtianfu, smiled at him awkwardly.

"No way, I have to come in person!"

Chu Zhen shook his head and sighed, and shouted with a smile at a few children about ten years old on the street: "The children over there, yes, it's just to call you!" ”

Several children were squatting in the street, looking at the horse he was riding, and when they heard the official call him, they were immediately frightened.

"Don't be nervous, I want you to do something for me!"

Chu Zhen got off the horse and asked the guards who followed him to buy some steamed buns and distribute them to these children.

Zhang Hanlin also got off the horse to see what Chu Zhenjun was going to do.

"You come with me."

Chu Zhen beckoned the group of children who had finished eating a bun in three or two clicks, and came to the bookstore together, and asked the guards to pay for all the newspapers - through bargaining, each newspaper was pressed to nine yuan.

Then in front of the bookstore shopkeeper, he said to the children:

"Take it and sell it in the streets."

Chu Zhen told them: "Sell ten wen, or eleven wen, you only need to pay me at the price of nine wen, and the more is yours." Do you understand? ”

Several of the children nodded.

Chu Zhen was satisfied and asked the guards to distribute the newspaper to them.

"Your Excellency." The guard whispered, "Be careful that they all run away." ”

"It's okay, I trust them."

In fact, if you run away, you just run, Chu Zhen didn't mind these little things, and said to the children: "When you sell newspapers, you have to shout something, shout like this:

Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, freshly baked newspapers! ”

Burst!

A few children were smiling, and the newspaper was not a bun.

Another example is shouting: The first newspaper of the Ming Dynasty, the Holy One personally ordered to supervise it!

There is also such a shout: Stay at home, a newspaper knows the world!

and like this: selling newspapers and selling newspapers, Aunt Zhao San of East Street died in Zhou's butcher's house late at night, barefoot, the twists and turns of the case are bizarre, and the case is amazing! ”

Chu Zhen's words, not to mention children, even the bookshop shopkeepers who were watching, and the people watching the excitement next to them, all looked at it.

"There is a case like this in the newspapers?"

The bookstore shopkeeper muttered, why didn't he pay attention to it just now!

Chu Zhen smiled: "You can still sing like this: Lalala, I am a little expert in selling newspapers......"

This sentence is the essence!

Several children followed along.

After confirming that they had all learned these slogans, Chu Zhen patted the eldest child on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, come back to me after selling five sheets, I'll wait for you at the bookstore in the south." In addition, I saw other children calling over as well. ”

Several of the children received the newspaper and began to sell it for the first time:

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers......"

As soon as he shouted, the onlookers next to him took out ten cents and bought one to look at on the spot.

"There is a person named Zhao Sanjiao on East Street? How I don't know. ”

Someone also bought a copy and found the case, only to see a line of small print inside: the case is real, and the person's name is purely fictitious.

"Fuck it!"

The man scolded, thinking that he had been deceived, but who knew that this case was really good-looking, so he couldn't help but squat on the side of the road and look carefully.

Behind him, a large group of onlookers were attracted together.

As a result, the group of children didn't go far, and the five newspapers in their hands were all sold out, and they hurriedly ran back, and one of them gave Chu Zhen forty-five yuan.

Chu Zhen gave each of them a few pennies, and said with a smile: "Go on, call more people, and I'll wait for you in the next bookstore." ”

The shopkeeper of the bookstore who sold the newspaper just now patted his head, why couldn't he think of this way to sell books!

Chu Zhen ran three bookstores in a row and called more than a dozen children to sell newspapers.

Most of them came back with the money, and two of them ran away without a trace, and Chu Zhen didn't pay much attention to it.

When I went to the next bookstore, I found that the shopkeeper had already called the children himself and asked them to sell newspapers, and the slogans were all those taught by Chu Zhen.

These children are probably known to the shopkeeper, so he dares to give the newspaper.

Chu Zhen didn't pursue the copyright issue, and went to a few more bookstores.

In the evening, people could be heard everywhere in Yingtianfu discussing the contents of the newspaper.

"The ground beneath our feet is a ball?"

"Yes, Your Majesty personally said it, and also explained the solar eclipse, it is the moon that blocks the sun's rays!"

"It's as simple as that?"

"Chu Zhenjun is giving a lecture in Guozijian......"

"I'll just say that there is a problem with the butcher this week, and he is the last person to commit the crime!"

"Fortunately, Song Zhixian found that long yellow and curly hair, otherwise this case would definitely not be solved!"

"It's bad enough to deliberately take off someone's shoes!"

On the way back, Zhang Hanlin had already heard too many similar discussions, and Yinzipu hurriedly printed thousands of copies.

I'm not afraid that I won't be able to sell it out this time, if there is such a sales volume in Yingtianfu, there will definitely be merchants who buy it and sell it to other places.

"It's really worthy of Chu Zhenjun, just come up with a way to sell out the newspaper!"

Zhang Hanlin sincerely admired.

Chu Zhen said with a smile: "The main thing is that the content of the newspaper is good, novel and interesting." ”

At this time, several children shouted behind him: "Sir, sir, wait!" ”

Chu Zhen looked back and found that it was actually the first few children, panting and running in front of him, who had punched him a few times in his face, and his clothes were dirty.

"What's going on?"

Chu Zhen dismounted.

The ten-year-old was ashamed and said, "I, I, sir...... Zhao Wu, whom I called, took the newspaper twice, but didn't give you money, and showed off to others, I couldn't get angry and reasoned with him, so I started fighting. The money didn't come back either. ”

Several of the children had their heads bowed.

Chu Zhen understood and patted him on the shoulder: "You are all good, don't worry, I'll give you a head!" ”

I didn't bother to bother with this money, but now I have to take care of it.

Chu Zhen instructed the guards to find someone to check, get the money back, and lock him up for a few more days as punishment.

Finally, he asked for four treasure bills from the guards, and those who had always had money were given one to each of them.

The face value is consistent money, and according to the depreciation rate after Lao Zhu Chao's treasure banknotes, it is probably worth one or two hundred wen.

"Sir, I, we can't have it!" The ten-year-old child hurriedly refused, and the others were a little eager for the treasure banknote, but they didn't take the initiative to take it.

"Take it, go buy some medicine."

Chu Zhen smiled and stuffed the treasure money to them, and said: "If anyone bullies or dishonest people in the future, you will say that Chu Zhenjun will punish you!" ”

"Chu... Zhenjun? ”

Several children watched him ride towards the palace, and couldn't help but follow, and saw him enter the Chengtian Gate.

"Mr. is Chu Zhenjun......?"

They looked at each other in shock.

Intuition tells them, yes.
