I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 31: cornered

The thirty-first chapter of the text is cornered

There is always debate over what industry is crucial to a region, but which industry is the loudest and most influential... there is no doubt about it.

As an industry that takes dissemination of information as its own responsibility and is keen to make any trivial, nonsense, and rhetorical things spread to everyone's ears, the media industry has a power that is almost as terrifying as "the power of life and death" to some extent. A reader decides everything, but can influence every decision of readers.

Because in fact, everyone's thoughts and content of thinking are closely related to the information they receive; especially for those who do not go out often and have a very small social circle, a newspaper may be his More than 70% of the information sources to the outside world, and the remaining 30% are his relatives and friends.

If this person's relatives and friends are in a similar situation to him, then the content they communicate with each other will most likely be related to the content of the newspaper.

And a good newspaper does not even need to express its inclination deliberately, as long as it can make its readers focus on where it wants to focus and generate great interest, it has been considered a success.

Therefore, when it was discovered that there was no local newspaper in the Beluga Harbor colony, Anson's surprise was no less than the discovery of the New World - as long as the "Beluga Harbor Good People" could be established, the pie he painted for the Luen family would be realized. Half way through!

You don't even need to let the newspapers brag about it, as long as you slap on the side, or even deliberately create one or two small stories about the Rune family, and show a little face in the news every time, the Rune family's influence in the local area has been established.

Therefore, on January 4, 101 of the saint's calendar, the Old Good Newspaper was officially established in a remote alley in Beluga Port; although there is only one brand at the moment, the daily operation is entirely in charge of the logistics department of the Storm Division, even the only one The printing presses are in the barracks.

But in fact, Anson made Talia hold 60% of the newspaper by turning his left hand over his right hand, becoming the first enterprise of the Rune family in the New World.

For some reason, Talia showed great enthusiasm for running the newspaper, and even offered to suspend the "daily brushing questions" for a day to discuss how to increase the sales of the newspaper.

"Actually, there is only one newspaper in the entire Beluga Port at the moment, and sales are not a problem at all." Facing the curious girl whose pupils were shining, Anson, who felt extremely relaxed in front of Talia for the first time, talked eloquently:

"The Storm Division has now controlled twelve churches in Beluga Harbor. With them plus the Faithful Alliance, plus the minimum publicity work, there will be at least 2,000 to 3,000 sales in the first phase."

"What really limits the development of our newspaper is actually raw materials."

"...Paper?" Talia hesitated.

"That's right." Anson explained:

"There are only a few small paper mills in Beluga Port, the quality of paper produced by this handicraft industry is not stable, and the standards are difficult to fully uniform; most importantly, their output is seriously insufficient for a newspaper that can cover a large community of 100,000 people. "

"To sell 10,000 newspapers a day, in addition to newspapers and printing presses, we also need to belong to a professional paper mill... It's not easy."

Compared with textile tanned leather, papermaking is a relatively "advanced" light industry with certain technical thresholds, which is also an important reason why Beluga Port has never had a local newspaper office.

The problem of materials is easier to solve. The local forest farms and farms in Beluga Port can provide it. The cost problem can be reduced as long as the production scale can be expanded. The problem lies in the machines and skilled workers - both of which are not available in the colony and must be After the spring of the coming year, think of ways from the local area.

"Before the paper mill was established, we could only rely on warehouse reserves and local paper mills, and the inventory at that point could be maintained at most once a week." Anson shrugged:

"Anyway, we don't have any competitors. As long as we can expand sales, it doesn't matter even if we lose money, as long as we can ensure that content sales will grow steadily...for the time being."

"Then what can I do to keep sales growing?" Curious Talia even took out a pink notebook from her arms and took notes seriously.

"It's very simple, as long as you delineate the scope of your readers." Anson said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

Thanks to a third-rate novelist and Miss Sophia, who started to be keen on the newspaper profession at some point, she now has a very thorough understanding of the well-developed newspaper profession in Clovis City.

For example, the readers of "Morning News" are those who are ruling the country, the readers of "Kingdom Zhongchen" are those who feel that they should rule the country by themselves, and the readers of "Faith Pravda" are those who feel that the country should be handed over to the church. Readers of the White Lake Evening News felt that no matter who changed, they were the ones who were ruled.

As for Clovis Truth readers...they only care about the gibberish "shock" news, dirty jokes, third-rate graphic novels and 3rd edition pornographic illustrations.

"The specific operation is to deliberately adapt to the tastes of a certain part of the readers, and others don't care at all. Anyway, they don't read it at all, and they only watch it to find faults, so it's fine to ignore it... It can also appear to be very generous, and it can be better. Win the favor of your own people.”

"But these are all very late operations. Right now, you only need to ensure the quality of the content of each issue, and you don't need to consider the rest."

"By the way, why are you interested in newspapers, I thought it was only Miss Sophia Franz... eh?!"

An Sen, who had been chatting and laughing for a second, suddenly realized something, and his smile froze.

Talia still smiled sweetly, took her notes unhurriedly, and stared at Anson with curious eyes:

"Miss Sophia... what happened to her?"

"No! No... nothing, I was wrong!" Anson quickly wanted to divert the topic:

"Let's continue to talk about the topic of newspapers. If you want to increase sales, you have to..."

"That's all over, isn't it?" Talia interrupted with a smile.

Anson twitched the corners of his mouth, suddenly feeling that the air became much quieter.

The air is really quiet.

"Dear Anson, you don't have to."

Slowly putting away the notes in her hand, Talia raised her eyes with a smile on her lips, and calmly looked at Anson who suddenly became nervous: "I know the relationship between you and Miss Sophia Franz... I have seen her. "

"Oh?" Anson forced a smile:

"when?"

Talia paused for a moment and smiled slightly:

"It does not matter."

"The important thing is that I believe that dear Anson is absolutely loyal to the Rune family and will never be affected by the personal friendship with Franz's eldest daughter."

"Because dear Anson is a smart man, he knows very well who is behind him as always and who can give him more."

"Am i right?"

Anson twitched his throat.

……………………

An Sen, who was in a complicated mood, quietly left the bedroom, wore simple pajamas to the study, silently took out a pipe from his arms, and struck a light with a match on the desk.

Although it is unlikely that a building in Beluga Harbor will be able to install heating for at least the next ten years because of the insufficiency of various infrastructures, fireplaces and simple floor heating are still guaranteed.

Binglong Fjord is rich in coal resources, but charcoal is still the most used by local people.

On the other hand, the local wood resources are indeed unimaginably abundant. In addition, the construction of the colony requires a large amount of wood resources, and the demand affects the supply, so that the local residents only need the remaining scraps, plus the collected firewood and a little coal, Just enough to feed them through the winter.

This also reminded Anson that he was going to imitate the method of establishing the "General Staff" during the War of the Vultures, and organized the forest farmers in the Beluga Harbor Council to establish a "timber supply and demand committee".

In this way, the storm division can use the special roads and storage facilities for them to maintain the conditions of the forest farm in exchange for the supervision of the committee; and then the Rune family will come forward to place an order for them to purchase special customized wood to build factories and legion farms. .

Of course, if you come to the door to ask for this condition, it would seem to violate the agreement between yourself and Speaker Harold-all matters must be implemented through the Beluga Harbor Council.

However, this is actually very easy to solve. As long as the people from the "timber supply and demand committee" take the initiative to form this committee, and then stand up to support it, it will not be considered a breach of contract.

As for coal mines... As food for industry, coal is the foundation of modern industry (100th year of the saint's calendar), but considering that unless the sun comes out from the west, it is impossible for the mainland to hand over the steam core to the colony. We can plan to build a honeycomb coal plant in Beluga Port now.

As long as the roads can be repaired, the output of coal mines can be steadily increased, and the price of coal can be lowered, simple heating equipment such as briquettes and small coal stoves can easily become popular. Coal can't be burned.

Due to the crowdedness of the Beluga Harbour buildings, it is more convenient for the popularization of heating facilities. It is completely possible to set up a "township community heating committee", which is specially responsible for the promotion of facilities and collective procurement, and it is also convenient to reduce the price of coal to everyone. The level of acceptance, but also to ensure that everyone has earned.

This kind of facility can even be developed into a form of "welfare" - anyone who works for the Rune family's business or storm division can enjoy the right of first refusal to install heating facilities and briquettes for free.

The believers who participated in the Faithful Alliance can enjoy the "minimum heating guarantee" and buy the cheap honeycomb specially prepared by the committee at a price of 30%.

Separating various benefits, and then assigning them to a special committee, can divide the people of Beluga Port, and find out who is an ordinary person who only wants welfare and who can die for the ring of order. mad believers.

The little secretary was right, the committee system is really a great invention of the Clovis people, making the entire orderly world slam the accelerator on the ruthless and rigid bureaucracy and stride forward.

Just as Anson was seriously studying the map of Beluga Harbor and planning which vacant land would be assigned to the Rune family's "industrial zone", he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

With the crisp knock on the door, the former guards officer pushed in and stood at the door to salute An Sen:

"After serious discussions, the forest owners have decided to accept your 'suggestion'. The Beluga Port Timber Supply and Demand Committee... has been formally established."

Oh?

An Sen, who was biting his pipe, was slightly surprised: "So fast?"

I only asked Carl Bain to find a way to reveal this information to them on the evening of January 3rd, and now it's the morning of January 5th... They discussed it for a day before they made up their minds?

Such a high efficiency, I am afraid that even the Church of Order will be ashamed of it.

"Because they actually had this idea for a long time, but they never had the chance to implement it." Fabian, who looked a little stiff, explained:

"The forest resources of the Ice Dragon Fjord are very rich, and there is no need for deforestation. The fundamental conditions that restrict the development of the forest industry are labor force and transportation environment - but neither of these two, the Beluga Harbor Council can provide."

"They said that if the storm division is willing to rest the road~www.readwn.com~ to build a special wood processing plant nearby...the whole committee is willing to stand on the side of the storm division and the Rune family, and give priority to us at the price mutually negotiated by the two parties. supply lumber."

"Only this condition?"

"Only this condition."

"Any comments on the supervisory power we're asking for?"

"On the contrary, they really hope that we can send a force to be stationed near the forest farm, where there are actually a lot of wild animals - I suggest sending some novice skirmishers to help them practice marksmanship."

"No problem, then promise them!"

An Sen nodded slightly and exhaled smoke: "What else is there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fabian's expression suddenly changed.

But soon he returned to normal, and calmly put his hands behind his back: "Do you remember the beast slave you brought back before?"

"You're talking about the natives raised on that farm?" An Sen was stunned:

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?"

"He's dead," Fabian said calmly.

died? !

An Sen's pupils shrank suddenly: "How did you die?"

"The specific situation is not very clear, because he was not breathing when he found it, and the body was cold." Fabian's eyes flashed with remorse, and he pursed his lips:

"When we checked the scene, we found that he was not wearing any clothes. He tore the winter clothes we prepared for him into pieces, and the food for three meals a day was also dumped in the corner."

"And he himself, leaning against a wall full of blood, with a broken skull, looks like...like..."

"It's like being desperate and desperate, and smashing your head alive!"
