Chapter 1851 Returning to the Town to Open a Newspaper Office ([-])

As the end of the month was approaching day by day, Qi Ke actually received the latest report from the secret agent team of Dong'an Mansion, but there was still no good news. Natural disasters seemed to be coming again. There might be spring drought in the north and spring in the south. waterlogging.

After a few years, it came again. There was a drought in the north and a flood in the south.

Qi Ke quickly wrote two manuscripts and squeezed them into the first edition, so as not to have only one headline article in the first edition, which was too thin.

Computer typesetting, copper movable type in various font sizes and bold italics, printed quickly after finalizing the version.

On the penultimate day at the end of February, at an auspicious morning, Qi Ke dressed up, stepped out of the house, took off the red silk on the signboard, lit a long whip, and the Liangshui Newspaper Office opened for business.

In the early morning of the next day, a newspaper stand opened at the gate, and the copies subscribed by hundreds of households were packed in large kraft paper envelopes and handed over to the post office by the disabled soldier postman rolling the handicapped cart.

The people who got up early still came to watch the excitement. Seeing that the stall was open, they immediately came to pay for it. There are four pages on both sides. In fact, it is a cold water monthly newspaper on one page. If the money is too expensive, then work hard to make money first.

After daybreak, the sales of newspapers became more and more popular. Fortunately, the transaction was simple, with one hand for money and one hand for newspapers.

That day, all the people in the town were talking about the contents of the monthly newspaper.

The texts in the newspapers are all in vernacular. It is not that Qi Ketu saves trouble, but that people who have graduated from literacy classes can easily understand the vernacular based on spoken language.

Because I can understand it, no matter men, women, young or old, the discussion is very exciting. From the domestic situation to the following novels and advertisements, I can't stop talking about it.

Suspense and Strange novels have also been well received, but Qi Ke has two pseudonyms, one for news and one for novel serialization, so no one knows that this is Qi Ke's main author, only immersed in the content of the novel, but only on the Internet. The next chapter will come next month, just thinking of waiting for a month makes many people scratch their heads.

After the Hundred Households Office got the monthly report, it divided up a copy and sent it along with Jun Wen to the Thousand Households Office in Donglin County. It was natural to ask Shangfeng if he wanted something so interesting.

Similarly, Zhaolin also sent the pages to Qi’s Bookstore in the county, and asked the maids running the bookstore to print hundreds of copies, most of which were sold at the bookstore, and a small part was divided into two copies and distributed to Siliu Village and Luxi Village. For the villagers to read, by the way, collect news materials from these villagers to prepare for future manuscripts.

Another topic that can be written about in social news for a long time is yamen judgment, which happens to be a law popularization column, family disputes, economic disputes, criminal crimes, if there are no new cases, old ones can be revived, and if there are too many cases written, it will turn into suspense novels Material inspiration, serve multiple purposes.

This bookstore in the county has been relying on free literacy classes to support its popularity, but as more and more people go to Liangshui Town to do business, fewer adults come to study, and children mainly come to study.

Literacy is the minimum threshold for recruiting workers in Liangshui Town. On this basis, it depends on age. Parents deliberated over whether to "marry their daughter early to reduce the burden on the family" or "send their daughter to work to earn money for the family", and finally chose Earning money is the most important thing, let the school-age daughter at home learn to read, and hope to be selected for the next job recruitment.
