She grabbed Zhao Ruxi's hand excitedly: "Zhiwei, please tell me carefully what to do."

Zhao Ruxi told Mrs. Cui what she knew about the modern newspaper operation model.

She said: "We can divide the newspaper into sections. Each section has its own content and characteristics. For example, a section specializes in publishing laws related to women, a certain copyright serializes some scripts, and a certain copyright specializes in

Teach everyone some common sense of life or certain skills, such as cooking tips and so on."

"Wait a minute." Mrs. Cui hurriedly walked to the table, rubbed ink and spread paper, and looked at Zhao Ruxi, "Tell me what you just said again."

This time Zhao Ruxi explained in more detail.

The idea of ​​running a newspaper did not come to her after she met He Yuqi, but before the printing press was made.

Therefore, her ideas are not only based on the modern newspaper running experience that she knows, but also combined with the ancient situation and made appropriate changes.

Mrs. Cui listened and took notes.

She was at a loss at first and didn't know how to do this. As she wrote more and more content, she had a clearer and clearer understanding of how to run a newspaper shop.

"Great." After Mrs. Cui finished writing, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Ruxi with slightly red eyes, "Zhiwei, I want to thank you on behalf of all the women. You came up with a good idea."

"Master, I feel guilty when you say that." Zhao Ruxi said, "I was just giving ideas, and you are the one who has done the most for them."

"Having a will is useless, you have to have ability. You don't know how many women you can save with just one idea." Mrs. Cui said with emotion.

Zhao Ruxi's intelligence was the only one she had ever seen in her life.

"Zhiwei, you are smart and willing to work hard. I don't know how far you will go in your life. I just hope that you won't be like Zhang Lu and others, and end up getting married and living in the back house. That would be a waste of your intelligence.

"Mrs. Cui said seriously and sincerely.

Zhao Ruxi nodded solemnly: "Master, don't worry, I won't do it."

She didn't do it in her previous life, and she definitely won't do it in this life. She could live a good life on her own in both past and present lives, so why can't she think about being locked up in the back house? She just doesn't have that kind of character.

After the matter was finished, Zhao Ruxi left.

"Let's go out together. I'll go find Princess Shangde and tell her about this." Mrs. Cui also stood up.

After sending Mrs. Cui into the carriage at the gate of the academy, Zhao Ruxi returned to her small courtyard and said to Qing Feng: "Let Zhao Ming call Butler Zhou over."

After Zhou Chun arrived, she asked: "How are the preparations for the Yinfang event going?"

"The preparations are basically complete." Zhou Chun said, "Fortunately, the girl found the right paper, otherwise I would have to spend time constantly looking for paper to try on."

If you want to run a newspaper, the cost of printing must be reduced. Only by following the path of small profits and quick sales can newspapers have a wide audience; with a wide audience, the newspaper can have a great influence; with great influence, the market can be wider.

This is a virtuous cycle.

So after she made the printing machine, she was using the printing machine to try out various types of paper.

After all, printing machines also have requirements for the hardness and thickness of paper. Because of the ancient habit of writing with soft pens, the paper is soft, has good water absorption, and is not waterproof enough. This is completely different from the paper used by printing machines.

They not only want the applicability of the test paper, but also want to find low-cost paper as much as possible, so as to reduce the cost of the newspaper.

For this reason, Zhao Ruxi wrote a letter to Xiao Lingyan and asked him to find suitable paper at the Ministry of Industry.

The reason why he went to Xiao Lingyan instead of Gong Cheng was because Xiao Lingyan knew what kind of paper the printing machine was suitable for. Even if it was not readily available, he could ask the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to experiment and improve it.

Not only was it a waste of words to talk to Gong Cheng, it was also difficult to explain the origin of the printing press.

When she opened a printing shop, she also planned to hide her identity first and ask a shopkeeper to come out and block it in front. This would avoid a lot of trouble.

Xiao Lingyan lived up to her belief. After seeing the papermaking technology of the paper mill, he figured out the papermaking machine, which made the papermaking process much simpler, greatly improved the work efficiency and reduced the cost of papermaking.

For this reason, he asked his subordinates to open a papermaking workshop in his own name. While selling paper, he also sold papermaking machines, hoping to lower the price of paper and benefit scholars in Jin Dynasty.

"In this case, let's choose an auspicious day to open the business." Zhao Ruxi said.

She originally planned to wait until the New Year to open the printing shop, and then she would find an opportunity to talk to Mrs. Cui about running a newspaper. Unexpectedly, He Yuqi gave her the opportunity.

Now that running a newspaper is on the agenda, the printing shop must be opened quickly. When Mrs. Cui and the others are ready to run the newspaper, the shopkeeper of the printing shop can automatically come to solicit business.

If the printing shop is opened only when the newspaper shop is preparing, the timing will be too synchronized and it will make people suspicious.

"Yes." Zhou Chun responded.

Sure enough, on the next day, Mrs. Cui sent a message to Zhao Ruxi, saying that Princess Shangde was very interested in running a newspaper and wanted to invite Zhao Ruxi to talk.

Accompanied by Mrs. Cui, Zhao Ruxi visited Princess Shangde once and told her her experience in running a newspaper.

However, when Princess Shangde invited her to become a shareholder, she refused.

After saying goodbye, Mrs. Cui asked Zhao Ruxi confusedly: "Why refuse?"

It was her suggestion to invite Zhao Ruxi to become a shareholder. How many people wanted to be related to Princess Shangde but couldn't.

Although Zhao Ruxi is Mr. Kumu's apprentice, Mr. Kumu has no real power. What's more, he is also old. If Zhao Ruxi has an extra backer, he will not be bullied casually.

As for the money for the shares, she was not worried that Zhao Ruxi would not be able to come up with it.

Kang Shilin loved to show off his apprentice's skills in the academy, and Mrs. Cui had seen Zhao Ruxi's paintings using new painting methods.

The entire women's academy had seen Zhao Ruxi's paintings, and none of them except Kang Shilin were qualified to participate in the auction. So Mrs. Cui didn't know that the painting that fetched a high price of 25,000 taels of silver was Zhao Ruxi's.

But Zhao Ruxi's paintings are so good. As long as she is willing to sell her paintings, even if she is not famous yet, if she sells one or two thousand taels, there will still be people who want her paintings.

Zhao Ruxi waved her hand and said: "How can I, a commoner, dare to reach out to the nobles' matters? If you need my help in running a newspaper, just ask me, sir, and forget about buying shares."

Mrs. Cui tried to persuade her a few more times, but when Zhao Ruxi refused, she had no choice but to give up.

"By the way." She changed the subject, "In about ten days, competitions everywhere will begin. Have you signed up?"

Zhao Ruxi scratched her cheek: "I haven't decided whether to sign up yet."

The content of the competition at the end of the year is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is an opportunity for talented people to become famous.

"Why don't you sign up? Your painting is so good." Mrs. Cui asked curiously.
