Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 111 Datang Weekly
Chapter 111 Datang Weekly
The reason why he came to the palace was to get the ownership of the newspaper from Li Shimin.

At this moment, Li Shimin probably wouldn't think that such a non-government-oriented newspaper has any influence.

When they realize it, the other officials are afraid that they will encourage it to be nationalized.

And it was at this time that he made a bet with Li Shimin in order to get Li Shimin's imperial edict.

Anyway, no matter whether he wins or loses, the newspaper to be founded will only belong to him.

And what he paid was nothing more than a verbal promise that he would never have to keep.

Back at the mansion, he wrote the charter overnight.

Early the next morning, I went straight to the new house.

Li Mengqing arrived first after being invited.

After a while, King Wu Li Ke and Princess Changle also arrived.

"Datang Weekly?"

Li Mengqing and Princess Changle were stunned when they learned that Qin Yang was going to run a newspaper for the common people.

They also knew about the existence of Dibao, and knew that the literacy rate of ordinary people was not high. After hearing this, they hesitated to speak.

"You don't have to worry, there are quite a few literati among the common people."

"And this is a weekly newspaper, not a daily newspaper. It is published once a week and will not be unsalable."

Qin Yang had a headache and said: "What I need to worry about now is not a sales problem, nor a cost problem, but a talent problem!"

"Lizhi and Mengying know how to draw, so for the first issue of Datang Weekly, I will leave the drawing to you two."

"In terms of writing, King Wu and I can both write, but we can't do it alone. We have to hire someone else."

"Teacher, it shouldn't be difficult to hire someone, right?" Wu Wang asked in confusion.

Qin Yang shook his head: "What I want is not someone who can write articles, but someone who can write articles that ordinary people can understand."

"Although my newspaper is aimed at literate literati, other ordinary people are also the audience."

Just like the Republic of China period.

In newspapers at that time, a hundred flowers bloomed.

In addition to literate people, many illiterate people also go to teahouses to listen to newspapers.

He ran the newspaper for the sake of public opinion, not for the convenience of the literati at this time.

Therefore, easy to understand, suitable for all ages, is the article standard that meets his requirements.

Hearing Qin Yang's standard, Wu Wang Li Ke felt a little bit in trouble.

The literati around him are good at writing articles, and there is no one who may write articles that ordinary people can understand.

Qin Yang scratched his face and said helplessly, "Forget it, I'll do it myself first!"

"Just think of it as a way to attract others!"

"This is what I summed up overnight. According to my request, you first design the layout of the newspaper, and I will write the article."

After finishing speaking, Qin Yang plunged into the study of the new house.

The study room in the new house was designed according to his previous requirements. Compared with the study room in the Tang Dynasty, it is more like the Chinese and Western style of the Republic of China period.

Sitting here, drinking hot tea, and picking up a pen, the inspiration suddenly gushes out like a spring.

"The first issue must be the first shot, so it must be attractive enough."

"For ordinary people, poetry is far less attractive than story books."

"I'll just write novels!"

"Martial arts novels are easy to use martial arts to violate the ban, so don't touch it yet, and the novels of cultivating immortals are good."

"The Legend of Shushan Swordsman by Huanzhu Louzhu, this is it!"

After coming to Datang, Xu was influenced by the system and his memory was excellent.

The articles I read in the past, when I recall them now, every sentence and paragraph, all come to my mind very clearly.

He started writing as soon as he picked up the pen, and kept writing for more than an hour. When he saw that there was already a small pile, he suddenly let out a breath.

"Shushan Swordsman Biography" alone is not enough, but it is enough to lay a popular foundation.

"Look at this."

After standing up and stretching, Qin Yang took out the pile of paper and showed it to those people.

Those few people immediately picked it up with great interest and began to read it.

Qin Yang also took their results and looked at them carefully.

"Not bad!" Looking at the designed newspaper style, Qin Yang immediately called out.

As a result, no one agrees.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw that the three of them were all huddled together head to head, reading the novel fascinatedly.

It wasn't until the last picture was finished that the three of them let out a long breath.

"What about the ones behind?" Princess Changle hurriedly asked.

Wu Wang Li Ke and Li Mengqing also looked at him eagerly.

Stared at by three pairs of expectant eyes, Qin Yang took a step back guiltily.

"No more." He tried to ignore his guilty side and replied confidently.

This sound distorted the expressions of the three people who originally regarded him as a god.

"Teacher, then go and write! Leave the rest to us!"

Li Ke, the king of Wu, "deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors" and directly "persuaded" him.

Princess Changle also "persuaded" her past gentleness.

Even Li Mengqing looked at him wrongly.

Under the gaze of three pairs of eager eyes, Qin Yang was scared back to the study.

However, it is impossible to catch up with the manuscript.

Qin Yang sat in the study room drinking tea, wrote casually, and then became dazed.

When the King of Wu really brought some people who could write popular essays, and Princess Changle and Li Mengqing drew the accompanying pictures for several essays, Qin Yang reluctantly wrote another chapter.

"I have all the previous issues, and I have other things, follow-up? I will talk about it later."

After leaving this sentence, Qin Yang fled in a carriage.

With three helpers, he wrote "The Legend of the Swordsman in Shushan", which is enough to set the world on paper. The first issue of "Datang Weekly" was published a week later.

The location of the issue is just in front of Datang Shangchao.

A large umbrella was specially set up, with a table placed under the umbrella and two people sitting behind the table.

One is responsible for collecting money, and the other is responsible for promoting newspapers.

There is enough traffic here, and many people who come in and out have noticed these two people.

"The first issue of "Da Tang Weekly"! It contains the daily life of a cultivator! A newspaper only costs one copper coin! A newspaper only costs one copper coin!"

"One copper plate, you can't buy it to suffer losses, and you can't buy it to be fooled!"

"Give me one!"

"Give me one too!"

Although I don't know what the "Datang Weekly" is like, most people who can read in the Tang Dynasty know about newspapers, isn't it the Dibao?

It is definitely a big profit to pay a copper coin to the mansion.

If this "Datang Weekly" is similar to Di Bao, a copper plate is certainly worth it.

Out of trust in Datang Shangchao, some passers-by took out their copper coins and bought newspapers.

After getting it, people who can read just glanced at it, and most of them looked amazed.

Not to mention anything else, the picture is very elegant.

The typesetting is clear, although there are only two sides, but a large sheet is densely packed, and there are many words.

Looking at the front first, I only saw some essays, all of which were humorous essays.

Although it's not useful information, taking a look at it can make people smile knowingly.

It wasn't until looking down, at the end of the front, that "The Legend of the Shushan Swordsman" was seen, that no one became serious.

"The Legend of Shushan Swordsman? What is this? A storybook?"
