I run a newspaper in ancient times

Li Li's gossip tabloid usually has an issue every seven days, but sometimes there will be additional issues.

Naturally, gossip is not taken from the meaning of Zhouyi Busuan as understood by others, but specifically refers to the spread of lace and gossip in later generations.

Since Emperor Yan ascended the throne four years ago, Li Li has only focused on the tabloids. He doesn't care about the court, no matter how Emperor Yan runs into a wall in front of the Zuo Xiang and Marquis Wu An, let the scholars all over the world criticize the officials in power, and clamor to return the power to the emperor. He didn't take it seriously.

He is just a dude, with nobles on his body, money in his hands, one, two, three friends by his side, and four, five, six lackeys in front of him, doing bullying, no, chasing chickens and catching dogs.

In short, wherever there is excitement, just go there.

What kind of man from the Dong family stole the wife from the Xi family, was caught and raped on the spot, and chased for four or five streets...

In the flower building, two benefactors fought for the girl, their heads burst into blood and tears, and they had to ask the Jingzhao government officials to take her away...

For another example, a minister secretly kept an outside room, and was caught by the east lion at home, and the dog and man have not entered the door until now kneeling at the door...

And more...

The more this kind of bloody and vulgar emotional story, the more you can see Li Li and his pervasive and ubiquitous figures. Although they are called reporters, they are actually walking dogs, keeping the first-time all-round and detailed records without dead ends. The whole process.

A few days later, the freshly released gossip tabloids can publish articles based on reality, but the plot is more vivid and interesting, with ups and downs, which are called reports.

And the title is shocking enough and eye-catching enough.

"Miserable, why do men work so hard to make money, the moment they go home and open the door, they find..."

"The two benefactors fought, and it turned out that it was because of... her? "

"The wife is finally angry: I used to think you were poor, but now you think I'm old and poor?" "

……

It is completely vernacular, easy to understand, and the words are bold, infinitely fascinating.

Just reading the title, I already imagined a love-hate relationship, and when I read the text, it was completely out of control.

It would be even more exciting if the storyteller articulated the truth in a restaurant and teahouse.

Nowadays, there are too few entertainment activities for the common people, and there is no other fun except making money and having babies. This gossip tabloid is even more exciting than listening to women squatting by the river doing laundry talking about their parents.

Once Li Li's gossip tabloid appeared on the stage, it did bring a lot of fun and chatter after dinner to the capital.

very popular.

Of course, in addition to the common people, there is also a class in the capital called the gentry, including those who have passed the study and examination to become officials or have fame.

For this gossip tabloid, they are all unanimously disgusted on the surface, without him, it is too careless!

The writing is vulgar, there is no literary talent at all, the title is full of gimmicks, and the content is even more unrefined. It is read by people with nothing to do.

People who are stricter don't allow this kind of thing to spoil the atmosphere of the family, and they will burn it down when they see it.

If it weren't for Prince Li Li Naiyi, the younger brother of the Holy Majesty, his small workshop for publishing would have been taken over by someone long ago!

There are even many official ministers who have published impeachment memorials one after another.

Especially the official who was finally let in by the Hedong Lion, and was ridiculed for three days and three nights because of the tabloid news on the second day, even more vehemently asked the court to eliminate this dirty thing.

But it's a pity that Li Li didn't go to the court, no matter how the court criticizes him, he can't hear it, even if it reaches his ears, it's not a big deal.

He is a complete dandy, and face is completely discarded when he personally wrote the first edition of the tabloid.

When he was really scolded in front of him, Li Li could still wave his fan leisurely and ask back: "My lord, don't talk so loudly, go back and check the houses of your son and wives, and then tell this king in a righteous manner. Your family is determined not to look at such vulgar things. Otherwise, tsk tsk, what is it called? Duplicity, don’t want your mouth, but your body?”

These words are simply irritating.

The person who came home immediately went home and checked vigorously, and instantly jumped up and down, slapping his face until it swelled up.

The content of the tabloids is so fresh and interesting, there are many people who don't read it on the surface, but secretly read it in private.Especially in the back house, it is not easy for the female relatives to go out, and the information they can get is really limited.

Although this gossip tabloid is full of trivial matters such as family disputes, love and hatred, etc., it is enough for them to pass the boring time in daily life and resonate with their sisters and sisters to start a topic.

That is, the scholars of various academies circulated it secretly, and the deadlines never fell.

But regardless of how many people didn't want to see him, Li Li didn't do anything illegal except that he liked to inquire about gossip about the streets, alleys, flower houses and piano halls, and even the official residences in the palace.

Even the questioning of guilt can't be questioned on him.

Listening to the impeachment below, Prime Minister Zuo didn't even lift his eyelids, he just smiled lightly and said, "Prince Yi is just a playful and troublesome child, he's a little out of line, so why bother?"

Compared to Li Li's struggle for power, playing with the tabloids is nothing at all, and it's not a bastard thing to bully men and women, a dignified prince can play however he wants, Prime Minister Zuo thinks that this prince is already very well-behaved.

Prime Minister Zuo didn't speak, so naturally Wu Ninghou wouldn't express his opinion either.

In fact, the gossip tabloid officially appeared in front of people at the palace banquet three years ago.

Prince Yi suddenly fell in love with General Fan at first sight, and he didn't even bother for a moment. He immediately wrote a heartfelt special report "Don't care if the general is male or female, you will be you for the rest of my life".

Pursue directly, enthusiastically and boldly, and go in the direction of the good south wind vigorously, never to return.

How thick-skinned this person is, he doesn't care what others say.

As soon as that report came out, it was not long after it was published, and the gossip tabloid, which sold tepidly, was sold out in an instant.

After Dayan was rubbed against the ground by Daxia for so many years, and even lost Yanjing Jiuzhou miserably, and even the capital of the country was forced to move to the lower capital, the appearance of General Fan was like a rising savior on the land of Dayan .

You must know that now Fan Zhiyuan and his Fan Family Army have taken back half of Yanjing Kyushu, and it is hoped that they will win two more states before the end of this year. Needless to say, he is domineering and mighty, and the title of God of War is well deserved. It is simply owned by Dayan The idol of the people!

Although Li Li is a dude, but he has a noble status, and he has a face that no one has ever surpassed. It is comparable to the combination of a hero and a beauty. In addition, he is an immoral person of the same sex.

One must know that Fan Zhiyuan is a bachelor so far, a man in his early twenties, tsk tsk, actually it makes people think too much.

Whether it is inside or outside the court or in the market, gossip tabloids take advantage of this shareholder style, relying on its real-time and fresh follow-up reports, concise and bold headlines, exciting content stories from beginning to end, and ubiquitous news from all walks of life. The source of the news... instantly became the food for the spirit and entertainment of Dayan people!

On this day, Zhu Run, the editor-in-chief of the tabloid, came to see Li Li with the manuscript.

"My lord, this is a tabloid article to be published in this issue, please read it."

After four years, the gossip tabloid has been on the right track, and Li Li basically doesn't need to follow him personally. He has already cultivated a group of gossip people who are deeply familiar with him, and have a dog's nose as sensitive to gossip.

As for how to choose the material, how to write the ups and downs of the plot with vernacular pen and ink, and the ability to attract readers to chase after it is also the essence of daily training.

Li Li only needs to do the final check before publishing.

It was cold in the early spring, he held a heater in his hand, and covered his body with a brocade blanket. Hearing this, he nodded towards the chair next to him. Zhu Run, the editor-in-chief of the tabloid, sat down and waited patiently.

Zhu Run was a scholar, and he was also a scholar who repeatedly failed the examination. He was over [-] years old, and his family was unable to sustain himself, so he gave up his fame and began to write letters for others.

However, there are too many poor scholars doing this business in this part of the capital, and it is really hard to make a lot of money by setting up stalls every day.

Accidentally, he came into contact with Xiangyan storybooks from his colleagues, and after reading the two books, he disliked the too direct and boring descriptions, so he simply started writing by himself.

He took a pseudonym Runwuxiwusheng. He didn't expect that the writing style was not bad, and the description was delicate enough. The plot on the bed, which was obviously explicit, could be written in a hazy and beautiful way. Competing for publication, the sales of the secret are rising steadily.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. For a period of time, the imperial court explicitly banned such pornographic books.

Just when the family was about to be overwhelmed, he met Bole—Prince Yi.

In fact, like Zhu Run, there are many people who are middle-aged, old and young, forced to make a living, but have to take up the sacred brush to write degenerate pamphlets... In fact, there are quite a few.

A tabloid reporter who is not upright always has a pair of eyes to discover adultery and break through it, and he can't help but have a wretched temperament on his body.

To be honest, when these middle-aged scholars first started this business under the leadership of Li Li, they were a little confused.

Thinking of Li Li as a prince, with his natural nobility in every gesture, coupled with that handsome face, he should be waving his fan gracefully and calmly to participate in the poetry and prose tea parties of those literati, but he didn't expect to bring a group of running dogs, no? , the reporter squatted in the corner of the eaves and watched the common people tearing at the bottom.

Naturally, the fan was still swinging leisurely. Seeing Li Li's appearance was as pleasant as admiring the flowers in the imperial garden. He didn't feel that this place was wrong at all, but listened with relish.

Looking back, I said: "Listen clearly to what they are arguing about, see their expressions and movements clearly, and write a story of about a thousand words later. The requirements are intriguing at the beginning, ups and downs in the middle, and embarrassing at the end. Summarize the various aspects of life. If the writing is good, I will keep you guys, if the writing is not good, then you can find another job.”

After Li Li finished speaking, she walked off the wall gracefully.

Although a middle-aged person no longer has the enterprising spirit and arrogance of young people, but because of the heavy burden on his shoulders, he has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, and he has long since lost his pen and ink in his hand. It is to write whatever you are asked to write, and to polish it as you please, and draw inferences from one instance, which is especially in line with the purpose of this gossip tabloid.

So the editor-in-chief of the gossip tabloids and the major editors plus reporters in the early days came in this way.

As long as someone reads it, as long as someone buys it, and as long as there is money to be made, why don't you dare to write it?

Zhu Run quickly became the backbone of the gossip tabloid along with many colleagues, and he worked with Li Li for four years.
