It is difficult for men and women of wealthy families to cross

After deciding to run a newspaper, the two began to be busy. Lin Jishan was in charge of asking the magistrate about some new policies issued by the court. For some things, don't look down on the place of fireworks, the information here is faster than the outside.In order for the newspaper to be more legitimate, Wu Daicheng sent a letter to the third prince, and at the same time he did not forget to report to the magistrate, mainly because he wanted to apply for an official permission.

"A document produced by the yamen?" Lin Zhifu pondered. This matter has merits, but it will also offend some people. For example, after the promulgation of some new policies of the imperial court, it may not be implemented by yamen everywhere. There are many officials who deceive the upper and lower. If there are newspapers to publicly publish the regulations, then these people will be dissatisfied because of their interests.Prefect Lin thinks the newspaper is good, but it is not so easy to ask for government documents. "In Liaocheng, I agree that it is feasible. Outside Liaocheng..., daughter-in-law! Standing on the side of the common people, the newspaper is good for them, but if you stand on the side of the officials, you will not see it." Come on, it’s easy to offend people.”

"I know this. In fact, I think that if we publish information from a fair perspective, it will at most make some people unhappy, and it will not cause any reaction." Wu Daicheng also knows that after the newspaper is established, it will definitely offend some people. Thinking of his previous life Freedom of speech is impossible in ancient times, but at least the people should have the right to know.Wu Daicheng felt that running a newspaper was not only for his own selfishness, but he seemed to be given more things to bear. He knew that there would be obstacles in the road ahead, but he didn't want to give up. "Father, maybe you may be implicated."

"Hahaha, this old man has been in office for so many years, and he considers himself upright, so he will not be afraid of your newspaper. As for others, your newspaper is in Liaocheng. Admit bad luck." Governor Lin is not afraid of this, "If they come to me, they can only say that they are not healthy. But, daughter-in-law, if you want to run a newspaper, do you need a place? You two don't think Get the newspaper out at home!"

"Jishan and I have chosen a good location. The newspaper office is under Jishan's name, and Jishan also invited some classmates to help." After Wu Daicheng finished speaking, he felt that he had to explain the nature of the newspaper office, otherwise if these literati were posted The word "business" is not good. "The form of the newspaper is mainly official, so there is no such thing as talking about business. If the newspaper makes a profit, it will share [-]% of the government's profits."

Lin Wenliang laughed a few times after listening, "No wonder the old lady is unwilling to give up the idea of ​​letting you take over the family business."

Wu Daicheng was puzzled but didn't say anything. He had no intention of taking over the family business, and he didn't want to make excuses for it. Now he has an impulse to make the newspaper higher and let the people of the whole country know.At that time, it is estimated that more people will be offended, and the old lady will not think about letting him take over any family business. By then, the old lady may not be able to hide from him.

After discussing the paperwork, the Liaocheng newspaper quickly started preparing for the publication of the first newspaper. On the [-]th day of September in the third year of Renwu, the first issue of the first edition of the Liaocheng weekly edition was officially released, with a price of two yuan.Two yuan is only enough to buy a piece of rice paper, not even enough ink, despite the low price, but it will not lose money, and there are only two advertisements in the newspaper. On the other side of the shop is a shop of the Lin family in Liaocheng. In order to support the career of his son and daughter-in-law, Lin Wenshi must invest some money.Neither of the two had expected what kind of effect it would bring, they just simply expressed their support.

Recently, the Wu family's shop has not been opened very much. The two uncles will not give up until they achieve their goals. Even if they are beaten by the elder brother, they will not agree to go back. If you bring the second uncle and the third uncle back, you should throw them on the street regardless of their life or death.The more Wu Xiaodi thought about it, the angrier she became, but she didn't know what to do. No one could do anything to meet such a shameless person.

Newspapers were a novel thing for the ancients, and two yuan was not expensive, so those who could read bought a copy and read it while walking.In order not to waste paper, they skipped the introduction. The first edition is the recent new policy of the imperial court, and what the major officials in Liao City have done for the people recently.The second edition is about what's new in the city, and the third edition is for literati, with articles, poems, and small boards written by Wu Daicheng...the stories are serialized.The fourth and fifth pages are advertising spaces, the sixth page is some homely comments, and the comments in the first issue are relatives of the Wu family. They don't even use aliases, but use their real names directly.People who read the newspapers saw it as an emotional one. Even though people in ancient times often made irresponsible remarks, their minds were simple. When they saw such a superb relative, they immediately became indignant and said that such a person could not stay in Liaoning Province. city.

Dian Shi also bought a newspaper today. When he read the first page, he praised the newspaper for its good operation and spoke for them. Of course it was well run.He kept nodding while scrolling down, and when he saw the last edition, Dian Shi's face was full of colors. After reading it, he slapped the newspaper on the table, "This kind of person should be very serious at the beginning. Hit." Basically, everyone who read the newspaper had the same feeling as Tonshi.Dian Shi took the newspaper to find the magistrate, and had to ask the adults to make decisions for him.

In the Wu family, Wu Ruihan held the newspaper in his hand, and after reading the last edition, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. By night, everyone in the city would probably know about the Wu family's affairs. Wu Ruihan was not a literati who didn't show his family's ugliness. Da Di has a right saying, if you have pustules on your body, how can you not get rid of them if you don’t pick them up, family ugliness is like pustules, if you don’t pick them up to let the pus inside flow out, how can you get rid of them.Wu Xiaodi ran to the study and flipped through the newspapers, "Our shop doesn't know when it will open, but many people came outside today, asking when it will open, and there is nowhere to buy the things we need at home."

"Wait a little longer, the door will be opened soon." Wu Ruihan replied with certainty. With such a newspaper, coupled with the anger of the people in the city who can't buy things, it is estimated that within a few days, there will be some newspapers in the city. Big news.

Only a simple sign was hung, and in the small courtyard with no door face, several literati kept walking around. They wanted to know how the newspaper responded. In fact, they mainly wanted to know if there were any comments on the articles and poems they wrote. , At the same time, they are also looking forward to next week's newspaper, and they are looking forward to the story written by Lin Jishan's wife. "Brother Lin, my sister-in-law is a great talent, I can't write such a story, what's the follow-up of this story?"

"We'll know when we prepare next week's newspaper." Lin Jishan also wanted to know, but Wu Daicheng didn't write it out, so he couldn't answer this question.

"Great joy, all the newspapers printed today have been sold." An impatient literati ran to sit not far from the newspaper seller. He was very anxious at the beginning, and even more anxious when he saw someone buying the newspaper. Well, there are a lot of newspapers for the boy, if they can't sell them, they can only save the rest, and see if there will be a next issue.Seeing that the newspapers were being sold one by one, and there were fewer and fewer left, the literati stood up excitedly. If he didn't have the reserve of a literati, he might have followed the boy and shouted, "The newspaper is sold, two One piece of money".After watching whether the paper was sold or not, the literati ran back like a wild man.After drinking two cups of tea in a row, he was relieved. "Brother Lin, sister-in-law must not be kept in the inner house. You don't know that sister-in-law also teaches the boy who sells newspapers to sing. I have never heard that tune before. No wonder everyone says that sister-in-law is a wise person and a genius."

"Song? How did you sing it? That's not for sale anymore?" Someone frowned disapprovingly.

"What are you thinking? Only people with bad thoughts always think in a wrong way. Listen to how the songs are sung first, it's not about love and love." Literati are anxious, so naturally they choke on bad voices. went back.After coughing twice, he started to tune, "La~la~, I'm a little expert in selling newspapers..." The literati sang the newspaper selling song that Wu Daicheng changed some lyrics.

"It rhymes very much, but brother Liu's song is not in the same tune as my wife's." Lin Jishan smiled and shook his head, "When my wife taught the servants around me to sing, I just listened to it, and now many servants in the house can Sing."

"Don't you think that Madam Sister-in-law's words are actually very profound?" The literati who disapproved before frowned, "Brother Lin, if you have a chance, can you ask Madam Sister-in-law to tell us something we don't know, I think our thinking has been following Mr. Lin’s thinking is moving, there is nothing new, if Brother Lin didn’t propose to set up a newspaper, we wouldn’t know how to make something like this to benefit the people.” Literati in the same circle as Lin Jishan have good family backgrounds, and they don’t have the kind of people Thinking is more about the ambition of serving the country and the people. In fact, many literati had this idea when they first entered the officialdom, but as time went by, this idea was gradually obliterated, and replaced by how to keep Official position, how to climb higher, how much benefit can be won for the family.

"Yes, brother Lin, please tell my sister-in-law for us!" The first one made a request, and immediately there was a second one, and then there were more.At the beginning of running the newspaper, they sneered at the rumored wise man, but after understanding the real purpose of the newspaper, they looked at the wise man seriously.

"The newspaper must continue to run, and there will be many opportunities for communication in the future." Lin Jishan wanted to directly refuse this matter, but thought that the newspaper would continue to run in the future, and the most important thing for a newspaper is timeliness. In order to develop into a daily newspaper in the future, the necessary communication is Inevitably, the most important thing is that he also thinks that Wu Daicheng cannot be detained at home.

"Yes, yes, yes, no rush."

Old lady Lin looked at the newspaper in her hand, tapped her fingers on the table one after another, and the servants who followed old lady Lin hummed the song sung by the newspaper boy to the old lady, and old lady Lin raised her eyebrows At first glance, how could she let go of such a person, and what would the Lin family look like after being handed over to this person? It would be such a great honor for her to go down there and meet her ancestors.

"Young Madam, the newspapers are all sold out." The servant ran all the way back to Lin's house, with an excited expression on his face, and put the money bag on the table, "Master, order."

"Drink some tea, my voice is hoarse, next time I take someone there, you two change shifts." Wu Daicheng poured a cup of tea for the boy, but the boy was startled, and the hand holding the water cup kept shaking , He just did such a little thing for the master, how could He De let the master pour the tea himself.Wu Daicheng didn't care about this, he was going to wait for the boy to drink tea and ask everyone how they reacted to buying newspapers.Today is the first issue of the newspaper. It is not uncommon for it to be sold out quickly. Everyone is rushing to sell it fresh. The key issue is how to get people to develop the habit of reading newspapers. .

The servant drank the tea quickly, and then began to answer the master's questions. He explained the whole process from the morning when the newspaper was sold out until it was sold out. He even told about a scholar sitting near him.Wu Daicheng was a little surprised after listening to the young man's speech. You must know that the young man is illiterate and has never been to school. If he can explain things in an orderly manner, this person is very talented. Forget the young man's age, It is not too late to start learning. The ancients were enlightened early. In modern times, children do not enter elementary school until they are seven years old. They may not be able to graduate from elementary school at the age of a servant.

"You, would you like to know how to read?" Wu Daicheng wanted to cultivate it.The boy's eyes widened with surprise on his face, but he didn't know what he thought of, and his expression was very lonely, then he shook his head.Wu Daicheng looked puzzled, obviously wanted to learn, but why did he shake his head. "I don't know what difficulties you have, you just listen to your inner thoughts, and then tell me whether you want it or not."

After hesitating for a while, the boy nodded. "Yes, but I am a slave, so I am not allowed to go to school."

"Haha, who said that they want to send you to the school to learn old stereotypes, and they didn't want you to be the number one scholar in the Wenjie examination." Wu Daicheng was in a good mood, "From tomorrow onwards, you will follow me to learn how to read, and I will teach you the song selling newspapers first." Let's start." After saying this, Wu Daicheng sent him a thousand thanks, and even sent the boy who knelt down and kowtowed to go back to rest, planning to pick two smarter ones to learn with him, what Wu Daicheng wanted was to Cultivate journalists who belong to the newspaper office. Even if the content of the newspaper is under a pseudonym, it must be true and fair.Except for the serialized stories, the comments written cannot be fabricated or taken out of context.

Lin Jishan came back with a happy face, and told Wu Daichen about the opinions of his classmates in the newspaper office today. Wu Daicheng shook his head, "I have nothing to teach, I'm just a countryman." Originally, Wu Daicheng wanted to say that he was a farmer, but Thinking about the number of times he has farmed the land since ancient times, he felt irritated when he said this.

"Your vision is always wider than ours." Lin Jishan did not agree with Wu Daicheng's words. "They're all asking when the next issue of the paper is going to start."

"Five days later." During these five days, they will carry out a new round of accumulation of information. Now that there is no communication equipment, it is very inconvenient to exchange information. It will take several days for a new policy to spread from the capital to the government offices at all levels. The time, if it is urgent, how long will it be delayed.It's okay now, if there is a bad thing, how many people will die if it is reported to the capital and then sent back to deal with it.It is rare for Wu Daicheng to miss the communication equipment in his previous life. If there is such a thing now...

"Master, as long as you complete the task, you can draw a lottery, maybe you can get the method of making a light phone?" The system of brushing the presence appeared again, causing Wu Daichen to roll his eyes in his heart, and the honest Wu Daichen was forced by the system. You have to learn to roll your eyes.

He can also make the original megaphone, just not connecting two cups with a wire.Wu Daicheng told the story of the first-generation telephone in his heart. He specialized in farming and had no hobbies, but that didn't mean he knew nothing but farming. He also knew what he should know.

The system said that it did not deceive the owner and was not happy.

Wu Daicheng ignored the system, "I plan to pick a few smart people to teach by my side." After explaining the plan to Lin Jishan, Wu Daicheng felt that since the newspaper was run by two people, it should be discussed and negotiated, not just by one person. He knows more about dictatorship, but that's all. When he really writes, he is not as good as a literati.

"This idea is not bad, should people buy some young children back?" Lin Jishan felt that the earlier the enlightenment, the better.

"No, if I start teaching from a young child, how long will I have to teach it?" Another point is that for children, he always feels that he can't get over the hurdle in his heart. He can still accept it if he is as big as this boy, but if he is younger ...

"Okay, you can choose who you are at home. I'll mention it to Dad during dinner." Lin Jishan nodded.

During dinner, Lin Jishan mentioned Wu Daicheng's idea, and Lin Wenshi immediately nodded in agreement. "Daughter-in-law, just tell me whoever you want."

"Father, I have caused you trouble again." Wu Daicheng knew that Lin Wenshi drove the housekeeper to another courtyard because of him, although he didn't know the exact reason, but it was him.

"What's the trouble? We're all one family. You, you've been taught before, so don't be too tired. Take care of your body and let me hold your grandson." Lin Wenshi looked at Wu Daicheng's stomach while talking, and put Wu Daicheng found it awkward.

"Daughter-in-law, the newspaper is doing well, especially the content of the first edition, which is very clear and fair, and let the people know that we are not idle all day." Prefect Lin is very satisfied with the content of the newspaper, except for the matter that Dian Shi asked him to cry about. "In the yamen, there are some people who are greedy for petty money. Today's newspaper can be regarded as a drumbeat for them. They must be more careful when doing business in the future." After Lin Zhifu finished speaking, he looked at Lin Wenshi again, " I sent a copy of today's newspaper to my father-in-law."

"Father will like it when he reads it." Lin Wenshi still knows his father very well, "Mother read today's newspaper, and has been in the room since then. I went to invite you before dinner. I just said that I have eaten and waited. Let's take a look together next time!"

Lin Zhifu sighed, he knew the reason why the old lady didn't come out to eat, but now he couldn't stand on the old lady's side, today's newspaper made him feel that his daughter-in-law shouldn't take care of everyone's share. Fighting over the family business.
