"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The freshly released "Huaxia Newspaper"!"

"The Kaifeng Army captured Xining Prefecture, and the Xidamen has been stable since then."

"Extra-large iron ore and coal mines were found in Luanshuinan (Tangshan) in Dading Prefecture, and Hebei Steel has since been self-sufficient."

...

Those who sell newspapers along the street are not the newspaper boys that are common in later film and television dramas, but some adults.

The Chinese Empire strictly prohibited hiring child labor during study time, and only teenagers over the age of fourteen are allowed to participate in some extracurricular part-time jobs.

Later generations of newspaper boys from Western countries mainly sent to evening newspapers. With the gradual disappearance of evening newspapers and the changes in population distribution, labor laws and society's attention to child labor, this occupation eventually gradually disappeared.

Newspapers in Eastern countries are some teenagers who have lost their school days during special periods. As the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Chen Xun would definitely not allow this situation to happen.

Since the first issue of the China News Agency was released on September 1st, the sales of the China News Agency have entered a sharp rise. The China News Agency, which is issued on the first and fifth issues, has now been released to the fourth issue, and the national sales have exceeded 50,000 copies.

Although this number is small, considering the current literacy rate among the people, the coverage of this sales for literate people is already very high.

Even for illiterate people, the coverage rate is not low.

Chen Xun did not spend money to hire people to read newspapers at the joints, but in order to attract customers, those places where people gather, such as teahouses, taverns, would actively hire people to read newspapers to customers.

There are also some senior students who are more literate and can also read newspapers to the people of neighbors and villages.

Nowadays, the people of the Chinese Empire are paying more and more attention to current affairs. After all, the heart of gossip is innate, and curiosity is an instinct engraved deep in the human soul.

The entire imperial society accepted the "Huaxia News" very quickly.

In this ancient civilization, the predecessor of the newspaper, "Dibao", first appeared in the Han Dynasty.

At that time, the Western Han Dynasty implemented the county system, and the whole country was divided into several counties, and the county was divided into several counties.

Each county has offices in Chang'an, the capital city. This residence is called "dian". It has permanent representatives. Their task is to do liaison between the emperor and the heads of each county, and regularly write the emperor's decrees, edicts, memorials of ministers, and other political information related to court affairs on bamboo slips or silk. Then the messenger rode a fast horse and sent it to the chiefs of each county through the post road established by the Qin Dynasty.

With the invention and development of papermaking, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper was made of plant fibers, and paper began to be copied with paper, which further developed paper and made it easier to issue and deliver.

By the Tang Dynasty, from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, although the name of the diary had been changed repeatedly, the distribution had not been interrupted, and its nature and content had not changed much.

Moreover, as the post road improved compared with the Han Dynasty, the speed of transmission of mansion newspapers became faster.

Due to the more developed economy in the Song Dynasty, the coverage of the newspaper became larger and the content was richer.

At the beginning, the newspaper was only used to convey official documents and important information, targeting officials.

In the Song Dynasty, the content of the mansion newspaper was expanded into the emperor's edicts and orders, daily life, words and deeds, court laws, communiqués, official title rewards and punishments, and some gentry and wealthy people also began to purchase mansion newspapers through various channels to understand the changes in the court's policies.

Later, a small number of scholars made a living by copying newspapers for others. In the end, there were even merchants who specialized in copying newspapers for profit.

The Chinese Empire took the initiative to publish newspapers to convey new national policies, news, interesting stories, etc. Although it affected the livelihood of this small number of scholars, it was a great good policy for those who needed newspapers.

And most importantly, most sections of the "Huaxia Daily" are open to the society, and will accept manuscripts submitted by all walks of life and publish them at the best. This directly touched the indifferent hearts of those scholars. For a time, letters came like snowflakes, and endlessly.

"There was a little monk who ran to the yard with a long bamboo pole in the middle of the night, swinging and fighting at the night sky, making a big fuss. Finally, the old monk shouted, "What are you doing if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" The little monk mustered up his courage and replied in fear and fear, "Master, I want the stars in the sky, but no matter how hard I try to beat it, I can't beat it..." The old monk was furious when he heard it and cursed: "You big fool, you don't even know such a simple problem. You can't forgive you for standing in that kind of place... You won't climb onto the roof."

This is a joke published in the Relaxed Moment, called "Silly". The person who reads the newspaper is the son of the teahouse owner. He studied in a private school for three years in his early years and dropped out of school for a few years. After the Chen family army captured Gong Guangzhou, he entered Guangzhou No. 1 Primary School and is now a seventh-grade student in No. 1 Middle School.

Under the orders of my father, I read the newspaper to customers at the teahouse every morning, noon and evening to earn my pocket money.

In fact, he himself also likes to read newspapers in teahouses, not only because of his sense of honor when reading newspapers, but also because he likes to obtain knowledge and information from newspapers.

It’s like the joke just now. The joke specifically indicates what the stars in the sky are, and what is very, very far away from the ground.

Combining education with fun.

The joke made the people laugh, and the knowledge noted below spreads common sense of life in later generations and is very popular among the people.

This is the third consecutive edition of the publication of knowledge about the starry sky in the sky, and now a trend of astronomy hobbies has been formed among the people.

Along with everyone's laughter, someone said to his friend next to him: "I still can't believe that we actually live on a big round ball. Since ancient times, the sky is round and the place is round. This is really ridiculous."

"Don't talk nonsense. This is the knowledge taught by Your Majesty. Haven't you seen it at the beach? The top of the mast appeared on the water before the hull, which means that the earth where we live is a large ball."

"But why doesn't the person under the ball fall down?"

"Who knows."

If Chen Xun heard the discussion between these two people, he would definitely say that the road to literacy is still long.

The universal gravity known to people in later generations is still in the hands of a very small number of people. However, these people cannot be blamed, their knowledge determines that they cannot understand this concept at all.

The beautiful country in later generations is so powerful, and not some people firmly believe that the earth is flat.

"I heard that the emperor has collected taxes on all monks, and I don't know whether it is true or false." Someone asked.

"It's true. This is the content in the previous newspaper. The new "Tax Law" stipulates that monks must pay tax on farming, sell talismans, and collect charity payments must be taxed." The person next to him replied.

"The emperor is the god in heaven who descends to earth, and he is so cruel to his own people."

"Who knows."

...

The information conveyed in newspapers is still too advanced for ordinary people of this era. They cannot understand some knowledge and some policies.

Even if it is better to have good policies, it seems to be bad policies to them.

Fortunately, they had no choice but to complain: "Who knows?"
