Great Song

When she got home, Zhen Qiong told Han Miao the good news.

"Brother Miao, when I entered the palace today, I mentioned the Rixin Newspaper to the officials. He said, I will take a look for myself later. If you do well, I will give you a reward!" Having said that, Zhen Qiong raised her head and held her chest high. Just a wag of the tail.

Han Miao raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why did you mention this tabloid all of a sudden?"

According to today's news, Han Qi probably informed the emperor long ago.But he will definitely not mention his first and last name, and he may not be taken to heart by the emperor.Why did the emperor pay attention to Zhen Qiong's mention of it and give him a reward?

"Isn't this a matter of going to the palace to report the earthquake prevention? Later, when we talked about making movable type, I just mentioned it in passing. Originally, I wanted the post station to help sell newspapers, but the emperor flatly refused." Zhen Qiong sighed, quite resentful .

Han Miao couldn't laugh or cry.How can the post office be borrowed casually?With such rebellious words, only a stunned young man like Qiong'er dared to say nonsense.But after hearing this, the emperor still promised to reward her. Most likely, Qiong'er has made some contribution, but it's hard to say clearly, do you want to make it up here?

As soon as he thought that the Rixin Newspaper could get into the eyes of the emperor, he laughed, and hugged Zhen Qiong in his arms and kissed: "Qione is still caring, thinking of everything as a husband."

Being praised by others, Zhen Qiong was also very happy, hugging people and rubbing against each other: "Brother Miao let me play with movable type, naturally I have to find some compensation for Brother Miao!"

It wasn't until Zhen Qiong realized that movable lead type was really expensive.If you don't see an opportunity, you have to look for some benefits.

As expected of a person who can get tax exemption back by offering a glass prescription.Han Miao laughed: "This newspaper will take a long time to run. If lead type is easy to use, it may be more cost-effective than engraving. Qiong'er has worked so hard to study it, and it is also for me to share my worries."

Hey!Brother Miao is really the most caring!Zhen Qiong's heart was full of flowers, and she only hoped that the emperor could keep his word and give things to Brother Miao sooner!

Unexpectedly, on the second day, the servant from the palace brought not a reward, but an order for [-] newspapers.

Zhen Qiong was stunned: "The emperor said he wants to order a newspaper?"

The servant smiled all over his face: "That's right. The officials have said that the Rixin newspaper is very good, so I ordered the minister to order it. Maybe the empress and the saint will read this newspaper in the future."

Then what?What about rewards?Why don't we just order a newspaper?Only [-] copies are ordered!Zhen Qiong is unbelievable, the officials are too careless, right? !

However, his hand was grabbed by someone.With unconcealable joy, Han Miao saluted the servant and said, "The Son of Heaven loves you so much, I am so grateful! This reward, I will do my best to live up to the grace of God! The nobleman has worked so hard, I really appreciate it."

As he said that, a kit was quietly stuffed into the opponent's palm.The servant squeezed it, and a smile bloomed on his face: "Mr. Han, why should you be polite? The report is interesting, and I often read it. In the future, we must deal with each other again."

It is said that this official Han is the most generous, and many people in the palace like to pass orders to Clerk Ling Xiao.He also managed to grab the job, and he really lived up to expectations!

The two chatted politely for a few more words, collected the deposit, and made an appointment to deliver each publication to the palace.The servant got up to say goodbye.

When the people left, Zhen Qiong immediately groaned: "The officials are too stingy. What kind of reward is ordering newspapers?"

"That's wrong." Han Miao turned his head, with an undisguised smile on his face, "This official is giving us a big face. Think about it, the emperor has ordered a newspaper, and every government office in the city, Will you be indifferent? This is a deal that has gone through the sky!"

ah?Zhen Qiong was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Can the emperor also bring goods?"

The word "bring goods" made Han Miao laugh out loud, and pinched Zhen Qiong's face: "Qiong'er's words are not bad. The emperor ordered it, isn't it the most readable tabloid in the world?"

Seeing that Han Miao was so happy, Zhen Qiong also laughed and nodded vigorously: "The newspaper run by brother Miao is naturally the best newspaper in the world!"

■

After accepting such a big order, the tabloids can no longer be as careless as they used to be.Han Miao went to the other courtyard in person, found Li Gefei, and informed him of the incident.

Li Gefei almost suspected that he had heard it wrong: "The officials said that the Rixin newspaper is running well, and they still want to order [-] copies for the palace?"

That's the Son of Heaven!Why did you come to subscribe to their tabloid?And ordered [-] copies in one go? !

Han Miao smiled slightly: "Perhaps Uncle Wen wrote a good headline, which caught the eyes of the officials, right? After Uncle Wen has a daughter, don't forget to let my family have one."

Li Gefei didn't hear the joke at all, he just felt his mind buzzing, and he almost couldn't stand still.He didn't use a pen name, but a big name, and he also wanted to use the tabloid to make his name known.But this fame came too fast, right?How could it be delivered to the emperor in one breath?

Han Miao didn't give him time to be shocked, and continued: "Since the palace has subscribed daily newspapers, we should be more cautious when publishing newspapers. We must avoid taboos, and don't let people catch them. I I also invited three scholars with good writing skills to review manuscripts for you, and two accountants, if anyone comes to inquire about the publication of the poster or wants to order a newspaper, just leave it to them."

Li Gefei can be considered a mature and stable person. He was only stupid for a moment, and immediately tensed up, nodding repeatedly: "Brother Han, don't worry, these little brothers will do their best to arrange it!"

"Well, there is one more important thing. Do you have enough manuscripts on hand? Let's not publish every day, let's add another page to the tabloid first." Han Miao said again.

Li Gefei's eyes widened: "One page, isn't that four pages?"

It is indeed a good thing that it is published every day.But adding four versions is not easy.Especially to review manuscripts, what if there are not enough manuscripts?

"The government is going to subscribe to the newspaper. The original eight editions seem to be less. You can add the reader comments you mentioned earlier. Make it more interesting and have novel and unique viewpoints. There are also essays about Bianjun and You can also add more public opinion cases as appropriate, and you can’t just publish anecdotes and anecdotes blindly. It doesn’t matter if the new edition is not full, just put some posters.” Han Miao had already thought about it, and said it very easily.

And this operation?Li Gefei opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, isn't it good to show the poster to the emperor?But at any rate, he still had his senses, so he choked out a sentence: "Then the cost..."

The cost of the previous eight editions is not low.Now it is necessary to increase the layout, isn't it even worse?

Han Miao laughed immediately: "Uncle Wen, did you forget that the government has bought and subscribed to the newspaper. Why do we have to print [-] copies of our tabloid to sell it?"

ah?Didn't the Son of Heaven only order [-] copies?Now their actual sales volume is probably only [-], and [-] are sent to restaurants for free. Why do they have to double the print in one go...

However, Li Gefei is smart after all, he was just stunned, and suddenly woke up: "By the way, the government has subscribed to the newspaper, how can the big and small government offices in Tokyo City not subscribe?!"

What the emperor cares about is what the courtiers care about most.The so-called up and down, but that's all.And knowing that everything in the palace has been settled, it is hard to say how many wealthy businessmen and nobles will also pay attention to the tabloids.It's no wonder that Daguan Han wants to increase the page size, and even called the name to fill it with posters.If this can be published in the tabloids and caught the eyes of the emperor, how many people will squeeze through the door of the newspaper office!

Li Gefei was convinced: "As for the manuscript, I will find a way, and I must increase the page as soon as possible. Brother Han is a great talent, I am impressed!"

Smiling and patted Li Gefei on the shoulder, Han Miao said, "I just came up with an idea, and Uncle Wen has to worry about implementing it. I entrust the newspaper to you. If there is any trouble, just ask."

Li Gefei was truly grateful for being so trusted.Even if they were in Han Qi's mansion back then, their father and son did not treat them so favorably!What is it if it is more difficult and tiring to run a newspaper?As long as it can be done well, it might be a smooth road to the sky!

■

Li Gefei's movements are really not slow.By the time the next issue was published, Rixin Daily had changed from two pages to three pages, and there were four more pages.When the tabloid exuding the fragrance of ink was delivered to the emperor, Zhao Xu was also taken aback: "There is an extra page?"

Ordering a newspaper for the palace was naturally because Zhao Xu wanted to praise the new newspaper.After all, Hehuang is an important matter, and this tabloid should be seen by more people.Of course, there is also some sense of gratitude.The emperor reads the newspaper, will he worry about selling it?Ling Xiaozi doesn't have to worry, his family, Mr. Han, lost money.

Unexpectedly, Han Miao was so courageous that he added one page and four pages.What does it mean?Of course, knowing that the Son of Heaven reads newspapers, he dared not neglect.These three pages of large paper, with so many articles, are only sold for [-] cents, and the profit is probably astonishingly thin. You really don't care about your life for the affairs of the state!

With some curiosity, he opened the newly added page, and Zhao Xu discovered that the added content was also unusual.One of the pages published letters from newspaper readers, most of which were comments and comments on the front page.This is not a courtier's memorabilia, citing scriptures and classics, all of them are trivial and moral articles.On the contrary, all the diction is simple and the views are clear.It is quite thought-provoking to read and corroborate each other.

Before the edition of Market Anecdotes, some more serious stories also appeared.There are old stories in the countryside that use the past to satirize the present, and there are also beautiful stories about Qingtian redressing grievances and eliminating harm.As the emperor, Zhao Xu has a natural liking for these things that can understand the world.Unexpectedly, this day Xinbao could also be ingenious and find a new way for him not only to admonish him in Taiwan, but also to the people.

The praise in his heart went up again, and Zhao Xu ordered: "Send one hundred copies to the empress dowager and the empress dowager's palace, and fifty copies to the empress, and the other palaces will be lowered in turn. Put some, for the entertainment of my husband and bachelors."

These government offices are all in the imperial city, and it is not too much for the emperor to distribute some tabloids for entertainment.But the deep meaning in it, wouldn't that minister not understand?

After the tabloid was released that day, before it was dark, the newspaper office of Rixin Daily was blocked by people.They were all sent by the major government offices in the city, just to order newspapers.It can be as much as a hundred shares or as little as fifty shares. Even those poor Qingshui yamen have to order ten shares for fun.Vendors who used to collect daily newspapers also bought in one after another. Even if they doubled the print volume, they were easily divided up.

What do you need to worry about?Li Gefei's chest was agitated, he rolled up his long sleeves, and buried himself in reviewing the manuscript.

The author has something to say:

Hehehe, Li Gefei has a daughter named Li Qingzhao, everyone should know it, right?But don't think too much, it's still too early to be born.
