hunter's daughter-in-law

Chapter 39 Running a Newspaper

After Zhang Jin learned of his life experience and experiences from Lou Xiaona, she was deeply moved.In ancient times in another world, as children, they had no right to choose their own marriages. The orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers were the fate of most people. Even the emperor at the top of the pyramid of power sometimes had to do so. bow your head.

Lou Xiao's experience is also a typical example among thousands of people here. There are too many people who are suffering because of the forced combination of interests.Lou Xiao's parents and Lou Zhen are just lucky.

Lou Xiao later told Zhang Jin that when Zhu'an came back from Donglin, he had already realized that something was wrong, and when he saw the lights and festoons at home, he became even more furious and had a big fight with Lou Zhen.Zhu'an, who knew Wang Ziming well, was very glad that Lou Xiao had escaped.

However, he always thought that Lou Xiao left because he knew Lou Zhen's plan, and he didn't know the truth until he found him this time.

Wang Ziming's plan failed, and he was angry, but he didn't dare to disclose the matter, and Lou Zhen didn't know about it.Because of Lou Xiao's escape, the relationship between the Lou family and the Wang family broke down. Lou Zhen hated Lou Xiao so much, and when he couldn't find anyone, he directly announced that he would sever the father-son relationship with Lou Xiao.

Zhu'an has never seen such a heartless man who would sacrifice his son for the sake of so-called interests.Zhu'an's heart became completely cold, and after the quarrel, he asked someone to prepare the carriage, and took the servants who had been with him all the time to live in another courtyard.

"I won't forgive you!" Zhu'an said coldly, "Go and chase your so-called interests for the rest of your life!"

"You go! You go!" Lou Zhen went crazy, "Don't come back after you go!!"

After coming out of Lou's house, Zhu'an really never went back to Lou's house. Both Lou Tian and Lou Yun came to persuade him many times, but in the end Lou Zhen couldn't bear it, and came to the other courtyard to take Zhu'an back, but Zhu'an always avoided him. and not seen.

In the end, Lou Zhen asked Steward Xu to serve Zhu An by his side. Considering that he really needed an assistant by his side, and he understood Steward Xu's character, Zhu An accepted it, but as he said, he couldn't forgive Lou Zhen!

Zhu'an has been inquiring about Lou Xiao's news for these years, and it finally paid off recently, and also learned about Lou Xiao's birth of Lin'er, so he couldn't wait to go to Chang'an Town regardless of the exhaustion of traveling and traveling.

That's why the father and son meet later.

Lou Zhen has been very unsatisfactory these years. The child betrayed him, and the lover refused to forgive him. After such tossing, it seems that he is ten years older.

Seeing that everything is fine with Lou Xiao and that there is a Li Mingyin who truly loves him by his side, Zhu'an lets go of the resentment in his heart, but he still cannot forgive.Even if he and Lou Zhen get together again, the existing scars cannot be erased...

Lou Xiao was actually lucky, needless to say.Now the family of three is happy and harmonious, and I don't know how many people are envied.Now he can no longer find the resentful and helpless look he had in the past.

"Zhang Jin, I have a proposal."

Today, Lou Xiao brought his son, who had just turned one month old, to Yuan Hong and Zhang Jin's house. After pestering Zhang Jin to tell him a chapter of Journey to the West in advance, an idea popped up.

"My parents are right. It would be a pity if such a beautiful novel is not shared! I don't know how long it will be until you finish the novel. There are morning newspapers, why don't we create a similar one to publish this For novels, I can pay for the printing alone.”

Zhang Jin didn't expect Lou Xiao to have such a proposal suddenly, "Do you mean to start a newspaper?"

There is no official newspaper here, and there are very few entertainment items for everyone.It would be a good idea to create one to publish news and novels, and maybe there will be unexpected effects.The more Zhang Jin thought about it, the more she felt that Lou Xiao's words were feasible.

"Okay, let's try it. But you can't pay the expenses alone," Zhang Jin said.

"You just get your story right."

"I'm not being polite to you. If it doesn't go well, the money spent may be more than a little bit, so I must pay a portion."

In the end, the two discussed it, and each person will spend half of the expenses, and each person will also get half of the income.Zhang Jin is responsible for the layout of the story, while Lou Xiao takes care of all other matters.After Zhang Jin heard that there were no restrictions on the court, she was relieved a lot.

"You have a big belly now, and I don't dare to tire you. You should tell the story according to the current progress, and leave the other things to me. I must make this Journey to the West familiar to everyone in Chang'an Town." story!"

Lou Xiao was very motivated, and Zhang Jin felt a little sorry, because of the pregnancy, this matter basically depends on Lou Xiao.

After Lou Xiao went back, Zhang Jin told Yuan Hong about it. In Yuan Hong's eyes, it didn't matter as long as Zhang Jin wasn't tired, so the matter was completely settled.

Lou Xiao is a ready-to-do character, and he started to prepare the next day after returning home.

Zhang Jin thought that the newspapers of later generations include daily newspapers and weekly newspapers. Considering various factors at present, Zhang Jin thinks that the form of weekly newspapers may be more suitable here.So, he told Lou Xiao what he thought.

Lou Xiao disagreed at first, but after careful consideration, he nodded.This new type of newspaper appeared for the first time in Chang'an Town or even in the entire Xia Kingdom. It takes a certain amount of time for new things to be recognized and accepted by people. If the daily newspaper is published every day, it may be difficult to sell. The weekly newspaper may be able to Buffer.In the future, it can be adjusted according to the needs of customers.

The main focus of this newspaper is entertainment.Their decision is to collect some recent popular things and publish them on the front, as well as some anecdotes.On the reverse side, the serialized novels are published, and some short stories are collected and published on it.

Zhang Jin was inconvenient, but he couldn't really leave everything to Lou Xiao alone, so Yuan Hong took over a lot of work, and Lou Xiao felt a lot easier.

Lou Xiao and Li Mingyin had a lot of connections in Chang'an Town, so they contacted Fang Ke immediately according to their needs, and agreed on the number of newspapers to be delivered once every seven days.

Another thing is to find someone to inquire about some recent hot topics and anecdotes, which is equivalent to the former reporter.These people are easier to find.

There are many people in the town who love to gossip and have no good jobs.Lou Xiao handed over the matter to Uncle Wang.Sure enough, within a day, Uncle Wang brought the right partner to Lou Xiao.

These people include waiters from restaurants, coachmen who drive cars, beggars who beg, and husbands who love to chatter when they are free. There are ten people in total.

I am very relieved of Wang Bolouxiao, the people he picks must have been carefully considered.

"Uncle Wang has told you about my request." Zhang Jin said unhurriedly.

"Yes"

"Yes"

They answered one by one.

The waiter in the restaurant smiled carefully and flatteringly, "Dare to ask Madam, is there really such a good thing?"

"Why didn't you come here if you weren't called?"

"Yes, yes, I am talking too much."

"Your main task is to collect some things, topics, and anecdotes that everyone is interested in. You must remember to me that the collected things cannot be made up! If anyone is discovered, all losses will be Let him bear it!" Lou Xiao's face was stern.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"But don't worry, there will be rewards for doing things well. At that time, I will set up awards. Those who perform well and get the awards will be rewarded with silver coins ranging from 1 tael to 5 taels. Your monthly money is [-] Wen, There are no time and place restrictions, as long as you report what you inquire to a special person within the specified time."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not expecting such a good thing to be true.In everyone's mind, they felt that it would not take much effort to inquire about these things, it was free and the monthly fee was high.Just like the waiter in a restaurant, the monthly salary is only about 400 Wen, let alone those "husbands" who don't have a job. They only have 400 Wen for chatting with others. It's not a problem.

So everyone on the spot happily signed the contract, impatiently went to inquire about it, and those who wanted to save face immediately showed it to their relatives and friends.

The next step is to find some scholars who have a little ink in their stomachs and so on to write quality essays, reviews or novels on a regular basis and publish them in newspapers.

However, it was more difficult than before, and it was Li Mingyin who came forward in the end.Many of his former classmates were from poor families, and some of them failed the exams many times. Now they are living in poverty and lack a job to make a living.According to the conditions, Li Mingyin found two classmates with good literary talents, and finally came to visit and talked about it.

As mentioned earlier, scholars have always been arrogant and think that writing novels is not a proper job, so Li Mingyin is not 100% sure that he can convince them.

"Wang Donghua, thank you, Brother Li. To tell you the truth, my father is sick in bed, but his pockets are too small, the medicine money has been in arrears for a long time, and now he needs a job to earn some medicine money. Therefore, the errand provided by Brother Li is very helpful to me. In terms of speaking, there is nothing like giving charcoal in the snow." Wang Donghua bowed his hands to Li Mingyin to thank him.

"Brother Wang, you don't have to! It's a great help for me if you agree."

When Li Mingyin found another classmate's home, the classmate was silent, and finally said, "Let me think about it, and I will answer you in the afternoon."

Li Mingyin replied, "Okay, after thinking about it, come to 'Xiao Zhai' to find me."

In the afternoon, this classmate also gave him a positive answer.So there are already two permanent writers.

When everything was almost ready, Lou Xiao came to the mountain again to discuss some final details with Zhang Jin.

"There are only two writers, I'm afraid it's not enough." Zhang Jin said, "If there are two people who don't have time, or run out of ideas, our forum may be broken."

"I also understand what you said, but I can't find suitable people for a while, so I can only look for them while I am busy." Lou Xiao is also helpless, if it is not for Li Mingyin, he still does not know where to find two suitable people scholar.

"Actually, this section doesn't necessarily only publish short stories. You can ask people to express their own comments or opinions on some facts and famous stories, and even publish some excellent poetry articles. As for people, we don't have to worry about it. For talented people From another perspective, this is not a platform that can make them famous.

After the newspaper is published, we find some people to guide the public opinion and let them think in this direction, then those who are ambitious or arrogant will contribute to us.We also want to place an advertisement for essays in the newspaper, so that those talented but poor people can find us to contribute through the advertisement. "

"Advertising?" Lou Xiao asked puzzled.

"Well, how should I put it. It is to publish our needs in the newspaper, and people who want to cooperate with us will find us after seeing the advertisement." Zhang Jin explained.

"I really have an idea. In that case, let's advertise for 'Xiao Zhai' too."

You learn so fast, you really are a businessman.Zhang Jin nodded in agreement, but also made it clear to Lou Xiao that the advertisement must not occupy too much space and be as short as possible. Don't make the newspaper the same as a sales platform. This is still just the beginning.
