The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"Mr. Shui Jing, can you mark each article and add some of your personal insights." Liu Ke said.

Is that okay?

Sima Hui suddenly opened up a new world.

As a great Confucian, Sima Hui's annotations are generally only seen by his own students, but now they are added to the newspaper, which can indeed attract attention.

In fact, Liu Ke is not particularly satisfied with the articles selected in it, it is rather old-fashioned.But as the first newspaper, you can test the market and the reaction of traditional Confucianism.

Now everyone regards newspapers as Liu Ke's toys, but when the newspapers are opened to the market, the meaning is different.

Great Confucianists can promote their ideas on it.

Confucianism is also divided into factions, such as "Gongyang Chunqiu" and "Guliang Chunqiu", these are struggles that Liu Ke can tolerate.

Sima Hui also seeks "stability". The first newspaper doesn't need to be too publicized, otherwise it will become the target of criticism from all sides, and he will have a hard time.

It's not that this kind of thing has never happened before. Some corrupt scholars dare not criticize Liu Ke, so they indirectly criticize the executor.

"Any questions?" Sima Hui asked respectfully.

"No more, let's sell a newspaper for ten copper coins." Liu Ke said.

Ten copper coins are not worth mentioning for the current consumption level in Yangzhou.

However, Sima Hui jumped up and said, "Marquis Dongyang, how can a saint's thoughts be so frivolous?"

Regarding open commerce, Sima Hui has no right to dictate, but regarding knowledge, he thinks it should be free for everyone to learn.

Therefore, Sima Hui has always hated Yangzhou's behavior of selling books at high prices. Fortunately, Liu Ke has also built many libraries for everyone to read for free, so Sima Hui didn't say much.

The most important thing is that Sima Hui did not participate before, but now he personally participates in the newspaper and has the right to speak.

So, no matter what, he has to fight.

"Mr. Shui Jing, do you think the price is too low?" Liu Ke joked.

"No, the knowledge of a sage is priceless. Marquis Dongyang promoted elementary education and let everyone start to read. Why can't he also promote the thoughts of a sage?" Sima Hui said.

It's not that Liu didn't promote it, but it was not strong enough in comparison.

"Does Mr. Shui Jing know how much a newspaper costs? Needless to say about the article, how much manpower and material resources are used from printing to selling?" Liu Ke said.

"This..." Sima Hui couldn't think of so much.

"Now we only print [-] copies of the newspaper, and in the future we will print [-], or millions of copies. If they are all free, how much will it cost!" Liu Ke said distressedly.

"Can we provide financial subsidies? Isn't it for the present that Dongyang Marquis is vigorously developing business?" Sima Hui said.

"Newspaper is also a kind of business. If there is no profit, there is no need to start it. What's more, if the newspaper is free, some people will dare to use it to wipe their p stock." Liu Ke said.

"Who dares?! This is knowledge!" Sima Hui said angrily, dare to use the knowledge of a saint to wipe his buttocks, isn't he afraid of being poked in the spine by a literati?

There are really some rogues who are not afraid...

Sima Hui finally understood Liu Ke's good intentions. Although paper is popular now, it is still very expensive.

In order to prevent some bad things from happening, it is better to collect a few copper coins symbolically.

"Moreover, the newspaper will expand its scale in the future. Profit is very important. Now the government has already owed money, so there will be no subsidy." Liu Ke said, some things must be clarified.

Suddenly, Liu Ke felt that there was no need for him to talk nonsense with Sima Hui.Wouldn't it be good to just turn the newspaper into a complete company?

After all, Sima Hui is only the editor-in-chief.

"Zhou Buyi, come here!" Liu Ke shouted.

Zhou Buyi, who was originally hiding behind Sima Hui, took a step forward and poked his head out.

"Go to your teacher's wife and ask for 50 gold to invest in the newspaper. From now on, you will be in charge of the management of the Yangzhou newspaper, and Mr. Shui Jing will be in charge of the content of the newspaper." Liu Ke said.

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Zhou Buyi vowed.

"If the newspaper loses money, you will die!" Liu Ke threatened.

"..." Zhou Buyi, "Teacher, you are so unfair, what if the newspaper makes money?"

"What reward do you want, we'll talk about it later." Liu Ke said.

Zhou Buyi curled his lips, instead of arguing about the matter, he changed the topic and said, "Junior brother is coming to help me."

Liu Ke glanced at Cao Pi, Cao Pi nodded, and Liu Ke said, "No problem."

"Teacher, you are so biased. Why do you want your junior to do things and ask for his opinion, but never ask me?" Zhou Buyi protested.

"Who made you cause trouble all day long?" Liu Ke said.

"Is there?" Zhou Buyi looked confused.

"Hehe." Liu Ke sneered.

Zhou Buyi ran away in a flash, and shouted at the door: "Teacher, I'll go find my teacher! I'll settle the matter for you right away."

Cao Pi was very helpless, and after bidding farewell to Liu Xing, he also followed.

The marketing is left to Zhou Buyi, and Sima Hui only needs to be responsible for the content in the future.

Wouldn't this save a lot of trouble?
