Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1611, This is Da Ming Daily
Daming Capital Da Ming Daily is located in the headquarters building in Xincheng, South District of the capital. Everyone is busy, preparing for the daily publication of Da Ming Daily.

The telegraph room was newly built recently. There is a whole building used for receiving and sending telegrams. At the top of the building, you can see tall poles, and the tops of the poles are circled. Copper coil, specially used to receive and transmit electromagnetic signals.

In each room of the telegraph room building, the first batch of telegraph operators in the Ming Dynasty were busy, and the voices of Didi came one after another. They all wore special earphones, listened carefully to the information transmitted by the electromagnetic signal, and then quickly translated come out.

"DiDi~DiDi~"

"There is news from South Zhili that there is continuous heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the precipitation is far higher than in previous years. Flood disasters have occurred in many areas, among which Suzhou and Yangzhou are the most serious. The water in Suzhou City has already reached half a person's height."

"DiDi, DiDi~"

"News came from Henan that the severe drought continued in Henan, the riverbed dried up, and the grain crops were cut off. It was the most serious drought in the past ten years. However, Henan did not have the scene of starvation and starvation in previous famine years. Many businessmen saw business opportunities. A large amount of food is sold to Henan, and the price of food is stable!"

"DiDi, DiDi~"

"News came from Sichuan. There was an earthquake in Sichuan and Chongqing. The earth dragon turned over and felt the earthquake strongly. A large number of houses in the Luzhou area collapsed!"

"DiDi, DiDi~"

"News came from Wenzhou, Zhejiang, that some fishermen went out to sea to catch a giant whale, which is a hundred meters long!"

"There is news from Nanyang that Nanyang sugarcane will usher in another bumper harvest this year, but the purchase price of sugarcane continues to fall, and a large number of planters want to grow fruit and rubber."

"The news came from across the ocean from the Golden Continent. The expedition team has successfully found a large gold mine in the Rocky Mountains of the Golden Continent. The output is extremely high, and the expedition team became rich overnight."

"The grassland tribes in the grassland province held the Naadam Conference, and thousands of horses galloped, showing the heroic feelings of the grassland tribes!"

"A pregnant woman in Huguang gave birth to quadruplets at one time, two pairs of dragons and phoenixes. The fetuses are healthy. Good luck to both!"

In one room after another, telegraph operators were constantly receiving telegrams from all over the Ming Dynasty and quickly translated various messages.

As the Liu Jin Daming Telegraph Firm began to build and build in the state capitals of Daming, its huge role began to be quickly revealed.

Through the telegraph network covering the entire Ming Dynasty, almost everything that happened in the entire Ming Dynasty can be transmitted to the capital in the first time.

As a newspaper that mainly reports on current affairs, Daming Daily naturally benefits the most.

In the past, the Da Ming Daily could not even be called the Da Ming Daily, because even if a lot of reporters were sent to various places to collect news materials, there was no way to say that it would be delivered quickly on the same day.

Therefore, Da Ming Daily is often published every few days, once every seven days at the beginning, and then every three days.

There are not many news materials that can be reported, which is the main constraint factor that the Da Ming Daily cannot be published every day.

But now, with the establishment and construction of Daming Telegraph Firms in various parts of Daming, Daming Daily is also seizing the opportunity to send a large number of reporters to all parts of the country to collect news materials, and then quickly send them back to the capital through telegrams.

Let the headquarters of Daming Daily in the capital be able to receive all the news in the first time, and then find the necessary news materials for typesetting, and determine all the news reported by Daming Daily in the new day.

"Haha, now I don't have to worry about having no news materials to report!"

The people in charge of Daming Daily Bao Jiwen, Ou Yangguang, Wu Zhang, Liu Zili, and Zhou Zhi looked at the mountain of news materials on their desks, all smiling.

In the past, the most worrying thing every day was thinking about what kind of news will be reported in the Ming Morning Post tomorrow. There is not enough advanced communication technology, and the transmission of information is too slow.

Although Daming Morning Post has a huge team of reporters, the collection of news materials is still very slow, so that there are often embarrassing situations where there is no news to report.

Sometimes I have to report some novels, biographies and other content in newspapers to make up the number.

But now, looking at all kinds of news materials in hand, there are all kinds of news materials.

In this country, there are major events in the world, such as floods, droughts, and locust plagues in a certain place. It is not uncommon for the earth dragon to turn around, and there are all kinds of weird news.

Such things as a big whale being caught, someone giving birth to four babies at once, these are all news materials, and if they are sorted out carefully, they can be reported.

From major national events to anecdotes and strange events, there is no need to worry about having no news materials.

"From now on, we can publish it every day. This is the real Da Ming Daily."

Bao Jiwen nodded with a smile.

The Great Ming Daily, the Daily News, can finally live up to its name now.

"Are the branches in Nanjing, Chengdu, Huguang, Huangjinzhou, Nanyang, and Western Regions ready?"

Then Bao Jiwen asked about the construction of branches in various places.

In the past, Daming Daily only had branches in Beijing and Tianjin, so only Tianjin and Beijing could see the latest issue of Daming Daily in the first place.

As for other areas, depending on the distance from the Beijing-Tianjin area and the traffic conditions, there will be some delays. It may even take more than a month to see the postage mailed from the Beijing-Tianjin area. newspaper.

But even so, the publication of the Ming Daily is still very popular. Not only all over the Ming Dynasty, but even people in the Ottoman Empire, Persia, Egypt and other regions like to read the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty. As for the vassal states and colonies of the Ming Dynasty, That's not to mention.

Now that there is a telegram, the Great Ming Morning Post can be distributed uniformly throughout the Ming Dynasty.

The news from all directions gathered in the capital, and the headquarters in the capital carried out typesetting and arrangement, and then sent it to the branches distributed in various places by telegram for printing and distribution, so that the latest Daming Daily could be seen in real time in all parts of Daming.

Of course, this is not only for everyone to see the real-time Daming Daily, but also has huge economic value.

Daming Morning Post is currently the newspaper with the largest circulation, with millions of copies sold each time it is issued.

This is a very scary number.

On the one hand, it shows the lack of relevant entertainment and the lack of information in this era. People like the Daming Morning Post very much, because it not only allows you to pass the time, but also allows you to get current affairs news from all over the Ming Dynasty. You can know the world's major events without leaving your home.

Another aspect also shows that newspapers have great potential in this era. With the development of various communications in later generations, few people read newspapers at all.

It is difficult for everyone to imagine the powerful charm of newspapers in a certain period of time.

In order to satisfy the distribution of Daming Morning Post, Liu Jin built a large-scale printing factory and researched new printing technology and papermaking technology. Otherwise, Daming would not be able to keep up with such a huge paper consumption.

The distribution of Daming Morning Post is very large, but it is still subject to some restrictions, mainly due to poor information. If it can be distributed in real time in all parts of Daming.

The circulation of this Ming Morning Post will increase sharply. Although this newspaper is only a few pennies, it seems that it is not making money, and it even loses money.

But the advertisements on the Ming Morning Post are very profitable. It is very expensive to publish an advertisement casually.

"It's all ready, and it can be released at the same time as our capital at any time."

Ou Yangguang quickly replied.

"That's good~ Now our headache is which news should be selected for reporting."

"Yes, yes, I think the news of disasters in various places must be published, and other anecdotes and strange events will also be published."

"The news that Huguang gave birth to quadruplets is unnecessary."

"I think it should be published. This shows the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty, and also shows the progress of our Ming Dynasty's medical technology. In the past, it would have been very difficult for these quadruplets to be born, let alone be raised as adults."

"Yes, yes, I also think this should be reported. The news about the big whale caught in Zhejiang may not be published."
