Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 265 Selling Newspapers
In March of the fourth year of Changxing (933), Magellan's big ship set off from Hangzhou Bay, nominally to do business in the country of Wa, but in fact it was going to go all the way east from the country of Wa to see if the earth was round.

At the beginning of April, Magellan's big ship arrived in Wa Kingdom. After selling some goods, Magellan used the money he earned to replenish a lot of food and vegetables.

On the seventh day of the fourth lunar month, the big ship left the country of Wa and continued sailing eastward.

On the way, Magellan's ship encountered some small islands, but did not see the mainland.

A few months later, when everyone on the ship could no longer hold on, Magellan piloted the large ship and finally saw a vast continent. Later, he named this continent North America.

On the North American continent, Magellan and his crew discovered the aborigines living in this land.

Magellan found that these aborigines looked a bit like Hu people on the grassland, so he called them Donghu people.

Through contact with the Donghu people, Magellan and his party gained a lot.

For example, many crew members can exchange several catties of gold with Donghu people with a porcelain bowl.

Finally, Magellan and others discovered that some rivers on the American continent were full of golden sand.

For this reason, the big sea boat stayed here for two months, specializing in panning for gold in the river.

After that, Magellan's ship continued south along the coastline.

The fleet has passed the hot equator, but the continent is still continuous, so Magellan named the continent south of the equator the South American continent.

On the South American continent, Magellan also discovered several crops, such as a crystal-clear crop, which Magellan called corn.

This is a crop grown by Donghu people, which can produce more than a thousand catties of grain per mu.

There is also a crop called potatoes, which grow underground, and each plant can bear more than a dozen fruits, each of which is as big as a fist.

The yield of this kind of crop can reach more than [-] jin per acre.

There is also a kind of sweet potato, which grows underground like potatoes. This is a crop that can be eaten raw or cooked. It tastes sweet.Its volume is higher than that of potatoes.

"Magellan's Voyage Diary" written by Zhang Qingfeng is mainly written in the form of stories and diaries, interspersed with various strange and novel things, which can definitely attract people's attention.

Zhang Qingfeng also added a lot of difficulties encountered in sailing, as well as solutions to them.

Anyone who has read this book will know the matters needing attention in sailing.

Zhang Qingfeng also deliberately exaggerated the yield of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. If there is no long-term cultivation, it is impossible to achieve a high yield.

The Magellan ship stayed on the South American continent for another few months, collecting seeds of many crops, almost dozens of them.

In the end, the ship circled the South American continent, went north along the east coast of the South American continent, and finally reached a ninety-degree corner of the continent.

If you continue to sail along the continent, the direction of sailing will become westward, which is obviously not in line with Magellan's sailing purpose.

Therefore, after a final decision, Magellan decided to continue sailing eastward after arriving near the equator.

A few months later, the big ship found a continent again.

The sea ship went north along the mainland, and soon discovered the trajectory of civilization.

However, because of a big storm at sea, the big ship suffered irreparable damage and sank.

Of the dozens of crew members under Magellan, only a few survived in the end, and Magellan also died in this disaster.

In the end, several crew members under Magellan fell into a country called the Roman Empire. In this country, most of them are people with fair skin, blue pupils, and colorful hair.

In this country, several crew members were captured and enslaved, and several of them died within a few years.

Only one crew member named Xu Hongzu met a kind businessman, and despite the language barrier, he let him go and sent him to the Arab Empire.

In the Arab Empire, Xu Hongzu finally saw the news of his motherland, because he found silk, tea and other commodities here.

Afterwards, Xu Hongzu arrived in Tianzhu following a merchant ship heading for Eastern trade in the Arab Empire.

Then he took a merchant ship from Tianzhu and came to Nanyang.

However, in Nanyang, because of a disease, Xu Hongzu couldn't afford it, and finally died in Nanyang.

After Xu Hongzu's death, his sailing diary was also missing.

Until hundreds of years later, a Dasong businessman saw this book at the home of an indigenous nobleman on Luzon Island.

Although the businessman was illiterate, he still bought the book and brought it back to Song Dynasty.

Because the businessman was illiterate, he gave the book to a friend who opened a bookstore.

However, this friend of his did not read the content of the book, but just put it on the shelf to eat ashes.

By chance, a man named Yang Sanlang bought the book, and finally the book "Magellan's Voyage Diary" appeared.

When Zhang Qingfeng wrote this novel, he borrowed many contents from Magellan's voyage diary in real history.

In addition, he also added a lot of common knowledge from the American and European continents in this era.

As long as someone reads this book, they will feel that the writing in this book is too real, as if it is real.

The entire "Magellan's Voyage Diary" has almost 50 words, and Zhang Qingfeng plans to spend several months serializing this novel in newspapers.

Zhang Qingfeng's newspaper, which he named "Da Song Daily", was printed on two sides of a paper that was half a meter long and [-] centimeters wide.

Each newspaper can print about [-] words on the front and back together.

The serialized novels will occupy more than 3000 words.

In addition to the serialization of novels, the most important content is news, celebrity poems, anecdotes, interviews with celebrities, and so on.

For some content, Zhang Qingfeng even achieved the point where the content of the opening picture was completely edited.
There is no way, these days, it is very difficult to collect news materials. In order to make the newspaper Meite have content to report, Zhang Qingfeng must open up other columns.

In order to collect some news, Zhang Qingfeng even instructed Lu Ziyu to ask Lu You for some information that only court officials knew.

In the end, Zhang Qingfeng will review it. If he thinks it can be reported and will not cause trouble, he will report it to the people.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, the secret that cannot be told between the imperial concubine Li Shier of the Jin Kingdom and Xu Zhiguo..."

"Selling newspapers, it turns out that the earth is round, and we all live on a big sphere..."

On this day, on all the streets in Lin'an City, there were many children carrying a cloth bag and yelling with some paper in their hands.

Needless to say, these children are all newsboys paid by Zhang Qingfeng. These newsboys are all the children of the theater troupe members Zhang Qingfeng found, as well as the children of their relatives and friends.

Every time they sold a newspaper, they would be paid a penny. Because they were acquaintances, Zhang Qingfeng was not afraid that they would run away with the newspaper.

"Child, what are you selling?"

Hearing the newsboy's yelling, someone couldn't help asking curiously.
