Chapter 180 Qingzhou Mansion Newspaper
Chapter 180 Qingzhou Palace Newspaper
The printing speed is very fast. Zhao Chen designed a printing press, which is very simple and needs to be replaced every three days, such as wooden rollers, and the speed reminder makes people feel magical!
The manual printing speed is not fast, because the font molds of the seal printed in movable type are protruding, so you need to be careful when laying the paper, otherwise the paper will easily fall on other parts of the template, causing the font to be blurred.
It took about one minute for two apprentices to print each newspaper. However, after using the printing press, the speed increased by three times! One newspaper could be printed in about twenty seconds, and only one apprentice needed to operate it. By the fifth day of inventing the printing of movable type, twenty thousand newspapers had been printed as early as possible! Among them, 5,000 of the top-quality newspapers were all inferior.
Newspapers were first sold in three prefectures such as Qingzhou and Zizhou, Weizhou, and other states near Qingzhou.
Because it is owned by his own, Zhao Qian spared no effort to use it for private purposes. On February 11, he ordered that all prefectures and counties in Jingdong East Road had to order Qingzhou Delivery News. Of course! The price of Qingzhou Delivery sold to the yamen is not only not expensive, but is also lower than the market price. The top-quality Qingzhou Delivery News reported a retail price of 20 cents per copy, and the order of the yamen only costs 18 cents! Deducting travel expenses, Zhao Qian not only did not make money in some remote places, but also had to pay. Even if it is not remote, he could not make a few cents.
Because of this, no one cares about Zhao Chen's use of public power this time.
And on the market...
At this time, the snow in winter had melted a lot, and Zhang Dong came to Zibozhou to make friends with his friends through literature. After a long night of conversation, the relationship between the two became much deeper, and his friend invited Zhang Dong to a tea shop to have tea.
Tea began to develop in Lu Yu of the Tang Dynasty since then, and by the Song Dynasty, it had been recognized by the scholars. Tea tasting was also an elegant and common activity for scholars.
After inviting three or five confidants, the group came to the tea shop. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by the waiter. The group sat down according to their status and had not yet lit fragrant tea. A child seven or eight years old, with a horn facing the sky, walked in. He was wearing a zipper dress, and a big bag was bulging on his shoulders, filled with things. Judging from the items exposed outside, they were all rolls of "books".
Before the curious guest in the tea shop opened his mouth to ask, the little boy had already whispered: "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!"
Although the tea shop has the word "就", it is different from the wine shop. The tea shop cannot shout freely. The business of the tea shop is elegant and elegant. There are screens between the guests and the guests, and they will deliberately lower their voices when speaking. Where can this little boy be shouting? Isn't this a mess for him?
"What are you doing, a little boy? Go out quickly! How can you make trouble in this elegant place?" The manager in a scholar's uniform immediately stood up and shouted.
When the little boy heard this, he immediately burst into tears. "I have no parents anymore. If I don't sell this newspaper, I will not be able to eat today! Please kindly beg the good people!"
The shopkeeper's face turned red and he was helpless and didn't know what to do. Although he felt a little sympathetic, the shopkeeper would never be willing to make trouble for his business because of this sympathy. Just drove the boy out, his reputation would be much worse!
Just when the shopkeeper was in a dilemma, Zhang Dong understood his compassion and said to the little boy: "I just heard you were selling something, but the book in your pocket? Just sell it and leave quickly!"
When the little boy heard that there was business, he immediately stopped crying, but his face was covered with tears, like a little cat. The tea guests nearby couldn't help but laugh with kindness.
The shopkeeper also breathed a sigh of relief and thought that it would only be a book that would not take much time! In this way, I think not many people would care about this little boy again.
The little boy cares about this? He tried hard to make himself look like an adult, and said seriously: "If you come back to the official, I sell Qingzhou diary, which is divided into the best and the lowest! The best and the lowest and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and the second and
A tea chef said in surprise: "I have heard that the imperial court has a mansion, why did a Qingzhou mansion appear?"
Zhang Dong didn't ask, and smiled and said, "Okay, let me bring me a top-quality Qingzhou residence newspaper! Two thousand articles are not expensive, but I just don't know what the inside comes from?"
A friend persuaded him, "I don't know what Zhongtong is, why should I buy it and spend this money?"
Zhang Dong smiled heartily and said, "It's only twenty words! A child who can help a child who loses his parents in one year will be better than a hundred books in the world if he buys a piece of waste paper!"
The friend couldn't help feeling ashamed when he heard this, and quickly asked for a top-quality item, which was to apologize for what he said just now.
The little boy didn't expect that there would be two customers in a flash! He immediately squinted his eyes, revealing his mouth that showed three front teeth missing, and smiled innocently.
The little boy carefully took two strings of copper coins, counted them carefully, put them in his bag. He took out a stack of books from the cloth bag, handed them over to Zhang Dong and the others with both hands, and said seriously: "This is the Qingzhou Palace! Please hold them away!"
Zhang Dong took it and said in surprise: "This mansion is so thick? I'm afraid it's two or three thousand words!"
The little boy said seriously: "At least three thousand words! This was decided by our boss, and it is said that he cannot lose the official!"
Other tea lovers couldn't help but be curious. This mansion is so cheap? You know that even if you hire someone to copy books, the cheapest one thousand words will cost at least fifteen s. And it is the kind that doesn't include pen and ink! This mansion is at least three thousand words, and even at the lowest cost, it will cost about fifty s!
This is not a loss to officials. It’s like dying and jumping off the building!
Some tea shoppers couldn't help but buy it.
As soon as Zhang Dong opened the front page, he couldn't help but be attracted by him. The front page Zhao Chen wrote "On Huai Salt Reform", which first briefly explained some salt methods of the past dynasties, and then discussed the drawbacks and resistances of the salt method.
Zhao Qian was very vaguely replaced by these resistances, which may be blocked by big merchants. In fact, the slightly smarter people were hindered by the people behind these big merchants. However, these people were those people, so Zhao Qian did not say it out.
Zhang Dong was fascinated by the viewing, and the next version attracted the most people, because most of these things happened around them.
But when they saw the third version, everyone couldn't help but be stunned by the first sentence at the beginning!
The world will be united for a long time, and the world will be united for a long time!
How grand and grand is this?
