Chapter 40 Newspaper Publishing

When everything was almost ready, the ten people that Uncle Wang had hired to act as "reporters" also collected the materials.

The materials they collected will be handed over to the person designated by Lou Xiao, and finally into his hands.Lou Xiao has perfected their monthly money and rewards.

They have a fixed 500 papers per month. If their materials are approved and published in the newspaper, they will be rewarded with 10 papers. The one with the highest quality collection of materials or the most published papers will be awarded No. 1 The award of two silver coins, No.23 two silver coins, No.31 two silver coins, will be reevaluated every three months.

This reward is simply red-eyed. The minimum one tael of No. 3 is equal to two months’ monthly money, while No. 1 is a full 10 times the monthly money. Everyone worked hard and strived for Rank up.

Among these ten people was a short-time worker named Li Li. When Uncle Wang selected him, he was mainly interested in his hard work and good manners, so he had the attitude of giving it a try.

When Li Li came back from work at his employer's house that day, the money he had just received was stolen by a thief. This tall and thick man stood there helplessly with tears in his eyes. Seeing his pity, Uncle Wang went up to him and asked him What's going on, after learning from Li Li's employer that his character is reliable, Uncle Wang gave him this opportunity.This is all out of compassion. Speaking of which, this Li Li is probably the one that Uncle Wang is least optimistic about.

This Li Li's family can be described as impoverished, completely worthy of the name.

There is a 5-year-old child under his family, but his sallow and emaciated face is about the same age as his 3-year-old child.His husband lost his health during pregnancy and childbirth, so he couldn't do heavy work, so he could only help with washing clothes, cooking and taking care of the children.

The most important thing is his mother and father. After an accident happened at home, their health became weak and they often fell ill, and they could not do without soup and medicine.Some of the savings I saved before were all used to see a doctor for my mother and father. Later, when I ran out of money, I sold what I could sell at home.What the family can rely on now is that he goes to the town to do odd jobs every day, and collects some firewood with his elderly father to sell.

The combined income is not even fifty cents a month.The man almost cried when he got such an errand by accident. After signing the contract, he ran home ecstatically holding his share, anxious to tell his family about it.

"Father! Mother and father! Jing'er! Son! I'm back!!" Li Li held the door and panted heavily.

"Dali, what's the matter?! Why did you come back so soon? Are you done?" Li Li's parents asked suspiciously.

Li Li nodded while panting.

"Has the wages been settled yet?"

"Huh... was stolen...huh..."

"What?!" Li Li's parents screamed, and then coughed anxiously.

"Dali, what's going on here? How could it be stolen?!" Li Li's husband, Lang Jinger, hurriedly patted his mother and father on the back, and was also on the verge of crying.

"Oh my God! My God, this is making our family unable to survive! My son has been drinking soup these days, my poor grandson! I hoped that you could bring back some money, and I didn't want to give it to the damned Pickpockets... woo~~ How should we live!" Li Li's parents felt sad and wept bitterly, "It's all my fault, I'm an old man, I don't have to drag you down if I go early!"

Jing'er also wiped away tears, "Father, don't say that."

Li Li's old father turned his head.The baby who was influenced by everyone also burst into tears.

Li Li was sweating anxiously, "Wait, I haven't finished talking yet, so don't cry!"

"I have found a very good job now! There are 500 cash per month!"

"What did you say?!" Jing'er asked in disbelief.

"I said I found a good job with a monthly salary of 500 Wen!" Li Li repeated again.

"Dali, you don't think about money like crazy, do you?" Li Li's old father looked at him worriedly.

Li Li's parents obviously didn't believe it either.

"It's true! I'll show you the contract I signed, it's all written clearly!"

Only then did everyone hesitate, and took the contract and read it again. "By the way, we are all illiterate." Li Li's parents responded.

"Son, you won't be deceived, right?" Father Li still couldn't believe it.

"Isn't Li Shan in the village literate?" Li Li's mother and father said to Li's father, "His father, you go and invite him over, let him show us, and we will know whether it is true or not."

Father Li immediately complied, and quickly left everyone's sight with his unsteady legs.

"Don't worry, there doesn't seem to be any problem with this contract, it should be true." After reading the content of the contract to everyone, Li Shan expressed his opinion.

The faces of the Li family members immediately changed from nervousness to ecstasy.

"It's really God's blessing! Let my son find a good job! Thank God!!" Li Li's mother and father clasped their hands together and pointed towards the direction of the sky, full of gratitude.

Father Li couldn't control it either, life was so hard, and now he finally saw a little light, "It's great!"

Jing'er was equally excited holding the baby.

"Congratulations to Brother Li Li! Then I will leave first." After speaking, Li Shan left here, giving the space to his family.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you so much."

Li Li and the others sent Li Shan out, and the family couldn't be more happy after that.

"By the way, Dali didn't bring any money back, but our family has already lost a penny, what should we do?" Jing'er thought of a very practical problem.

"Or, I'll see if I can ask my boss to advance some money." Li Li said.

Father Li said to Li Li earnestly, "Da Dali, you must do this job well. You can't be sorry for giving you a chance!"

"Don't worry, Dad! I'll do my best!"

Of course Lou Xiao and Zhang Jin didn't know about the Li family.After collecting all the materials for the first time, Lou Xiao brought them to Zhang Jin for review.

"Some of these materials can't be used at all. Sure enough, we still need to train them well, including the people who recorded this." Zhang Jin looked through and sighed.After all, it was the first time for everyone to come into contact with this new thing, and they didn't know much about it, so Zhang Jin couldn't be too disappointed, because he had thought of this situation from the very beginning.

"Let the recorder come to me, and I will teach them what to pay attention to and how to remember."

Lou Xiao nodded, "I'll ask them to come over tomorrow. Your delivery date is not far away, so be careful not to get tired, Yuan Hong will have to settle accounts with me."

"Just talk about it, and it won't be tiring." Zhang Jin smiled slightly, "Let's sort it out and use it, and I'll take it out and print it tomorrow."

The two then picked out some recent hot events and topics and sorted them out.

"This is one less controversial and influential news." Zhang Jin frowned.

Buzz and hype are essential if their paper is to be widely known.They may have picked enough to catch the eye, but not enough to spark debate.

"What do you think of this article?" Lou Xiao took a piece of paper and handed it to Zhang Jin.

"That's it! It's very topical." After Zhang Jin read it, he felt that this article was very suitable, and then he changed the subject, "It should be no problem to send this article, the government..."

"Where are you thinking! The government is not idle and has nothing to do, it's so lenient!"

Zhang Jin thought it was the same in ancient times, and there would be no less restrictions on speech.

Lou Xiao continued, "As long as you don't involve sensitive political topics or violate the laws of the dynasty, you'll be fine."

Zhang Jin was relieved after listening, "Then let's decide on this one. After the newspaper is published, we will find some people to stir up the topic, and then we will find someone to write a review. If the reputation of the newspaper is published, someone will buy it." , Journey to the West and other novels will be seen by more people.”

Lou Xiao looked at Zhang Jin meaningfully, "I didn't expect you to look gentle and gentle, and you really have a lot of tricks."

These methods have been rotten in later generations, can he not know.Afterwards, Zhang Jin perfunctorily brought this topic over.

"Let me see who collected this news," Lou Xiao looked at the name marked, "Li Li... not bad, the monthly money we gave was not wasted."

"You know him very well?" Zhang Jin asked.

"No, Uncle Wang just mentioned him to me a little bit. Now that the discussion is almost done, I'll go back." Lou Xiao stood up.

"Okay, then be careful on the road." Zhang Jin lifted her big belly and watched Lou Xiao go out.

Their newspaper was named "Chang'an Weekly", and Chang'an refers to Chang'an Town.Published every seven days, 3000 copies were first printed to test the waters.

Compared with modern times, their newspapers certainly look very unprofessional, and most of them are typesetting according to their own preferences and feelings.On the back of the newspaper is the novel section, Journey to the West takes up the bulk, and three chapters are published every week.

Putting novels and news together might seem confusing. Zhang Jin and Lou Xiao thought about trying it out first. If everyone accepted the newspapers to an acceptable level, they would then separate news and novels and divide them into two types of newspapers.

This day is finally here.

Inexplicably, there were some half-grown children in Chang'an Town, carrying a cloth bag or holding a stack of thick paper in their hands, shouting repeatedly in the streets and alleys, "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! Fresh out of the oven!" "Chang'an Weekly", the news you most want to read and the most exciting novels are all here, sell newspapers..."

These children were specially hired by Lou Xiao and the others, and most of them were street children.I bought uniform clothes for these people, and after telling them the precautions, I asked them to sell them.These children have no parents, and each of them has wandered in the society for a long time, and their mouths are worn out, so it is not a problem to sell a newspaper.In order to promote the enthusiasm of children, they adopted the method of commission.The children have a guarantee of 50 cash every week, and they can get a commission based on a percentage when they sell a certain amount.

Originally, they were vagrants, usually without enough food and clothing, so they cherished this opportunity very much.The more you sell, the more you get, so they all work hard.

There is no word for news here, so some people bought it out of curiosity. After seeing the so-called news, they all expressed surprise.People who are more gossip are very happy.Through this weekly report, they can learn about some events in detail, increase conversation resources with friends, and discuss and chat with friends when they have nothing to do.

Others are bored, so they just buy a novel and read it casually, and then become addicted to it. Journey to the West has only been published three times, and they are so impatient that they almost can't help but find out the "Chang'an Weekly" Person in charge, ask for the following chapters.

So one passed two, two passed three, and within two days, the entire Chang'an town could hear the voices discussing "Chang'an Weekly".
