Chapter Ninety-Three: Zhejiang Distribution Point
In addition to the large number of people who do not know the truth, there are always many people in the world who like to get to the bottom of it, and the cultivation world is no exception.
"Editor, why did the senior brother challenge the four of them? Is there an inside story to reveal? I hope I can solve my doubts in the next issue of "Junshan Notes". ”
"I heard that these four sects covet the Dajun Cave Heaven, is it true? If this is the case, please tell the editor that our Mule River Scattered Cultivation is ready, and the senior brother will summon it, and we will rush to guard the Dajun Mountain Cave Heaven thousands of miles away. Attached is a list of volunteers for Luoyang Loose Cultivation (27 in total) ......"
"Look at the article, these four great refiners are so powerful, can the senior brother do it? What is going on, please tell the editor to tell the senior brother, do you need Xiaodao's help to resolve it? Xiaodao is next to Sinan Mansion, he is a monk of Meihe Pavilion in Tongren Mansion, and the third aunt of the nephew of Elder Jing Yun'an's nephew and nephew is a close friend, and he can pass the word on his behalf. ”
A large number of flying talisman news poured into the editorial department, allowing Zhao Ran to calmly pay attention to the dynamics of public opinion, so he announced the main content of the second issue - the truth of this battle.
Of course, the relevant articles vary in length and detail, ranging from long articles of about 1,000 words to tofu blocks as small as a few crosses, and there are dozens of articles, including hundreds of explanations, all of which are compiled into the "Junshan Notes" issued in the middle of the month.
In this regard, Zhao Ran explained to Yu Zhichuan, Spirit Wolf Moon Shadow, Yang Zhiwen and the following editors: "We engage in propaganda and hype, sometimes like a chef who cooks. What readers need is the truth they want, and they will sift out the truths they don't need and are not interested in, leaving the ones they like and believe in them. So don't be afraid of too many reasons and confusion, readers will filter themselves according to their preferences, and our task is to provide them with enough ingredients to satisfy the tastes of all kinds of tasters. ”
After the editing of "Junshan Notes" in the middle of the year was completed, the editorial department sealed the notes in bundles of 20 volumes according to the agent directory. Some of these provinces are large households, and it took more than a dozen or even dozens of flying talismans to send the notes.
For example, the three distribution points in Sichuan Province, Huguang, especially the Xiangyang area in the north of Huguang, Jiangxi, northwest Jiangxi, and Zhejiang, are all large subscribers.
Zhejiang is not close to Sichuan and does not have much intersection with Louguan, but the circulation of "Junshan Notes" here exceeds that of many provinces, ranking among the top four in the country. The reason for such achievements is due to the vigorous implementation of Du Xingyan, a descendant of Zhejiang Lingxu Pavilion.
Since the publication of "Junshan Notes", Du Xingyan, who happened to see this journal, was deeply fascinated by it, especially the name of the journal, and took the initiative to apply for the distribution affairs of Zhejiang.
Under the introduction and promotion of Du Xingyan, in less than three years, the circulation of "Junshan Notes" in Zhejiang has reached a new level every year, from 100 copies the year before to 200 copies last year, and in the first month of this year, it has broken through from 200 to 300 copies!
After the last issue of "Junshan Notes" arrived in Zhejiang, the "Three Provinces and Four Cultivators" published by it quickly spread throughout the province of Zhejiang, so that many monks from pavilions, families, and sects asked for more subscriptions. Therefore, the mid-February "Junshan Notes" he received today is a full 400 copies.
The biggest obstacle to the issuance of "Junshan Notes" is the consumption of flying talismans, with the net worth of Du Xingyan's descendants of Lingxu Pavilion, if they are sent one by one with flying talismans, they can't help it, especially after the monthly magazine is revised to a ten-month magazine.
For example, in this issue of notes, there are 400 copies, and each copy consumes a flying talisman, which is 2,000 taels of silver, 6,000 taels in a month, and more than 70,000 taels a year!
Of course, Du Xingyan is not a fool, he has slowly sorted out the secondary distribution points in Zhejiang Province in the past two years, with eleven state capitals in the province and one government in the province. According to the calculation that each flying talisman carries 20 copies (the weight of the ten-month magazine is nearly half less than that of the monthly magazine, so the amount of the paper is also doubled), the number of flying talismans he needs to use in this issue is 25, which is worth more than 120 taels of official silver.
These silvers are also not issued by him, but issued by various states, not only that, but he is often sent gifts to him by various distribution points to please him, such as some elixir spirit grass, such as some talismans and magic weapons, which are not high-end goods, but they have accumulated a lot, and they are not decimals.
After receiving the notes, Du Xingyan couldn't wait to open a book and read it first, and when he saw it, he saw that it was dark in one breath. After reading it, he shook off his head, which was a little confused by the huge amount of information, and recovered for a moment, and then he smiled dumbly—he hadn't read so much in a long time.
Since noon, all the agent distribution points of the Zhejiang Prefecture have sent flying charms to ask if the periodicals have arrived, these flying charms, Du Xingyan has the leisure to read them at the moment, and after reading it, he is in a much better mood - he can read the notes before the Taoist friends in the province every time, and the joy is only known to him.
53 in Hangzhou, 47 in Jinhua, 39 in Wenzhou, and 33 in Quzhou...... Du Xingyan recounted and sealed the notes, and then sent them one by one, and at the same time sent the three copies booked by several other senior brothers in the Lingxu Pavilion to people.
After the distribution was completed, he picked up his own copy of "Junshan Notes" and quickly flipped through it for the second time, paying special attention to the blank space on the back cover and title page of the editorial department's announcement.
Sure enough, he saw a notice to solicit manuscripts from monks from Guizhou, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang provinces, and the subject of the solicitation was interviews with the four refiners involved, their disciples, relatives and friends.
Du Xingyan knew that when the manuscripts of "Junshan Notes" were solicited, the manuscript fees paid were paid according to three grades, the highest was one hundred words, basically mainly major news, exquisite poems, and Taoist discussions; the middle range was one word and twenty articles, mainly some ordinary but interesting reports; and the low level was one word and five words, mainly scripts, modern and ancient legends, and so on.
Du Xingyan is a well-known writer of "Junshan Notes", with the pen name Jing Xuansanren, who has published dozens of texts in the past three years, dabbling in various genres such as legends, interviews, news reports and even poetry. His articles are basically used by the editorial department of Junshan Notes now, and he has received the manuscript fees of the high, medium and low grades.
For him, it doesn't matter how much he gets paid, what he cares about is publication. As long as he is in a journal, as long as he can see his article in the layout ink, he can feel extremely happy.
In Du Xingyan's heart, his own articles can be circulated by thousands of people, which is the biggest cool point. Thinking about decades later, my children and nephews can still see their own writings circulating, what an evocative thing.
Therefore, when he saw this notice, he immediately moved his mind.
The so-called four refiners, Zhejiang accounted for two, and they were both in Quzhou, he could take advantage of the fact that others had no time to react, rush over to the interview first-hand, and get the first-hand interview manuscript!
Thinking of this, his mind suddenly warmed up.
