Chapter 140 The way of employing people(2/2)

"advertise?"

Su Ze nodded and said: "You hire these newsboys, and also ask them to go to the streets to find out which stores are hiring waiters, which restaurants have new dishes, and which shops have new goods and are eager to sell them. I plan to tell them in "The Case"

"Surprise" will set up a convenient and mutually beneficial section to publish these news."

The more Lin Qingcai thought about it, the more he felt that Su Ze's idea was brilliant. It would be a dream for these shops to be featured in "The Surprise", which was watched by everyone in Nanping County.

Not to mention that the functions Su Ze mentioned are indeed needed by many businesses.

Su Ze added: "The newsboys go around the streets, and the two of them can record the strange things that happen in the city, edit them into gossip, and publish them in Page 5 and Page 6."

Lin Qingcai and Chen Chaoyuan nodded repeatedly.

Su Ze then handed over the complete set of "The Peony Pavilion" he had written to the two of them:

"I'll finish the serialization of "The Peony Pavilion" first, and then I'll send the new drama novels over after I've written them. For the third and fourth editions, I won't have my two brothers helping to select them."

"Brother Chen, please draft a deed. I will hire two brothers as editors of "The Surprise". They will receive a monthly salary of twenty-five cents for one year. If "The Surprise" can continue to be run, I will pay them back next year.

A salary increase!"

Chen and Lin declined at first, but in the end they happily signed the contract with Su Ze.

Su Ze felt most at ease when leaving the newspaper matter to the two of them.

Su Ze's Liaozhai and Peony Pavilion were the sources of surprise. Most scholars also came here because of Su Ze's articles.

The most important thing about movable type printing is making movable type. Yao Chun's wife and children were in Changningwei, so they asked him to print newspapers in the county. Su Ze was not afraid that he would run away with his skills.

In fact, once the technology of movable type is solved, there are no technical barriers. However, it is complicated to figure out the lead and tin ratio of movable type, and to separate the characters to count the frequency of radicals. Su Ze also ran the newspaper for influence, not expecting the newspaper to make a fortune.

Thinking more deeply, movable type printing technology is also the "pre-technology" for ideological enlightenment.

It is precisely because of the emergence of movable type printing technology that publishing has become accessible to ordinary people, the price of knowledge has become lower, and a large number of citizens with improved literacy have emerged.

It is also because the technology of movable type printing has reduced the cost of publishing, allowing more people to print and promote their views.

In a sense, movable type printing is also an information revolution.

On the contrary, Su Ze is not worried that the spread of technology will delay his ability to make money. In today's southeast region, there are many businesses that are more profitable than buying newspapers.

After finally finishing the county affairs, Su Ze returned to Changning Guard.

Reading and teaching every day, and then asking Captain Alfonso to brush up on some language skills.

Captain Alfonso went from being shocked at the beginning to being numb now. There really is a language genius in this world!

From simple one-word conversations, Su Ze was now able to converse with Alfonso on a daily basis, and it only took half a month.

After reaching Level 3 in several language skills, Su Ze can no longer have trouble with daily conversations.

It's early August now, and I should be able to reach Level 5 by mid-August.

However, daily conversations no longer increase experience. Su Ze can only discuss navigation skills with the old captain and speak some complicated and unfamiliar sentences to increase his skills.

In addition to discussing navigation with the old captain, the old priest Pierre accompanying the ship is also a physics and mathematics enthusiast. Suze can also improve his French skills by discussing these issues with him.

In this way, Chang Ningwei was very busy, but Su Ze was working on his skills with peace of mind.

On August 10th, a young eunuch hurriedly came to Changning Guard.
Chapter completed!
