Datang started from being a salted fish

Chapter 642 Newspaper is really a good thing to gain reputation
Speaking of which, this little fat man is also a frequent visitor to the bookstore, and the two of them often deal with each other when they come here to buy books, and the shopkeeper talks to him a lot more casually.

"New thing?" The little fat man immediately became interested when he heard the words: "What thing? Give it to me quickly."

Little Fatty is not surprised that there is no such thing as a new book, anyway, he just stopped by to take a look today.

But after hearing something new, the little fat man's interest immediately came, because as long as it comes from this bookstore, it must be right!

"That's it." The shopkeeper took a newspaper from the side and put it on the counter while talking: "The freshly baked "Da Tang Daily" only costs one penny, which is absolutely worth it!"

"Give me one." Hearing this, the little fat man immediately took out a penny and put it on the counter, then picked up the newspaper and began to read.

After all, a newspaper is such a thin sheet, it would be inappropriate to read it first before buying it: it won't take long to finish reading it. . .

Besides, it's only a penny. Since the little fat man is a regular customer of the bookstore, he will definitely not be short of this penny.

But now that people go to Wang Yin's shop, they basically bring tossing coins. It's really hard for this little fat man to find a penny on him. . .

"It's interesting..." the little fat man muttered after looking at it for a while, and then continued to stand by and watch.

Although most of the content in the newspaper happened before, it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone in Chang'an City knows it now, but after being polished by those civil servants, it will not feel boring to read.

"Shopkeeper, when will the "Da Tang Daily" come out next time?" After reading it, the little fat man closed the newspaper in his hand and asked the shopkeeper.

"Three days later." The shopkeeper gestured with three fingers.

"Okay, then I'll come back in three days." Hearing this, the little fat man cupped his hands at the shopkeeper and went out.

Speaking of which, although this bookstore is not as full as a restaurant every day, there are indeed quite a few people who go here, and soon this newspaper spread throughout the entire Chang'an City.

After all, the price of one penny per piece is really close to the people, and people don't have any pressure to buy it.

"This newspaper is interesting..."

"Don't tell me, after reading the newspaper, I realized that the immortal has already done so many things..."

"These decrees issued by His Majesty are also eye-catching..."

. . . . . .

People inevitably gossip about the contents of the newspaper after dinner and tea, and the sight of common people talking about the novelty of the newspaper can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City.

Those who describe Wang Yin's deeds without distinction are better to talk about, although the writing is indeed good, but the common people already know it.Now people read it again, at most they think it is interesting, and it is not surprising.

But the new decrees promulgated by Li Shimin written on it really made the eyes of the people in Chang'an City brighten: Doesn't this mean that we can see any new decrees from His Majesty in the future?This is simply wonderful! ! !

From the people's point of view, after having this newspaper, they can see first-hand information about any new decree from His Majesty, and there will no longer be any possibility of being deceived!

And reading newspapers in this way gives them a thrill of participating in national affairs. . . . . .

The people who praised Li Shimin in the newspapers really didn't read it when they first read it: Although it is true that most of the people are literate now, it is only limited to the level of literacy.It's okay to read plain Chinese or something, but once it's a text, you can only guess. . .

Considering that newspapers are for the common people, those civil servants try their best to lean on the vernacular side when writing, so the common people have no trouble reading it.

Except for flattering Li Shimin. . .

After all, this kind of thing can't be obvious. . .So when it was written, it was more tactful and cryptic, which caused the common people to be stunned and didn't see it. . .

But it doesn’t matter if the common people didn’t see it, those scholars did: the civil servants who wrote these articles were born as scholars, and they knew the hearts and thinking patterns of these scholars all too well. . .

Then after discussions and publicity by these scholars, these ordinary people soon understood.

After the common people understood it, they couldn't help but praise Li Shimin again, although they praised the immortal Wang Yin more. . .

Even so, Li Shimin is already very satisfied!

This newspaper is indeed a powerful tool for gaining reputation!
As long as this newspaper continues to run like this for a long time, the people will not be able to stop praising him as the emperor in the future, and his prestige among the people as the emperor will become unbreakable!
As for Wang Yin? . .

Anyway, in the eyes of the common people, he is a fairy, and the praise of the fairy does not conflict with the praise of himself as the emperor. . .

Next, you only need to slowly use newspapers to guide public opinion!

And now the life of the people in Chang'an City is much better than before, and a penny-a-penny newspaper is nothing to them when they have spare money in their hands, which leads to very good sales of newspapers!
Finally, after hearing about the sales and profits of the newspaper, Li Shimin found that not only did he not lose money, but he also made money. . .

Although the money he earned was not comparable to his other voices of making money, but making money is not a bad thing after all, is it?
Satisfied, Li Shimin took the time to recruit his ministers to start researching the next edition of the newspaper: because it was the first time to publish a newspaper, Li Shimin chose the frequency of every three days, so that he would not be too nervous.

It's just that this time Li Shimin just mentioned it to them and finished the matter, but he didn't participate in it himself: anyway, after he got the samples back, he just showed them to himself.

Li Shimin didn't care about the literary, entertainment, and advertising newspapers that Wang Yin mentioned. In the end, he just mentioned it to the ministers, meaning that they should play with whoever they like.

Anyway, these things will not involve major national affairs or anything, and they can't build their own reputation like "Datang Daily", so Li Shimin is too lazy to do it.

Fang Xuanling and his good friend Du Ruhui were more interested in this "Datang Literature Journal", so they took it.

Haiyou, who fell on them together, worked as an editor for Datang Daily: After all, someone must be hired to do this job, right?It is impossible for Li Shimin to personally participate every time, so he simply handed it over to the two of them.

Ordinarily, important ministers of their level have no time to deal with these things at all, but now benefiting from Wang Yin's contribution to the Tang Dynasty, the workload of these ministers from the top to the bottom of Li Shimin has been significantly reduced, so now they I do have this free time. . .
