Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 302 Yuan Shao Wants to Run a Newspaper

The newspaper said that Zhang Ming would do his best to rescue the people of Xuzhou.

This is to save them from fire and water.

Whoever dares to stop it is the public enemy of the world.

Zhang Ming's statement, released at this time, will greatly increase his reputation.

At the same time, in comparison, Cao Cao is a villain, and Tao Qian is an incompetent person.

This hit two opponents, but also can improve himself, the key is that he does not need to pay extra.

This deal is really a bargain.

Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai also lamented that Zhang Ming had to publish newspapers even though he was losing money.

At first, the newspaper kept losing money, and the more it printed, the more it lost money.

But now, everything is worth it. In the case of Xuzhou alone, the newspaper has played a role and gained Zhang Ming a lot of benefits.

This newspaper can kill people invisible at critical times.

On the second day after the newspaper was published, many people began to donate money.

directly to the government.

But there were too many people, and the gates of the government were blocked.

Helpless, Tian Feng asked many students to go to the street to collect money.

Everyone must keep an account, record the name and how much money, otherwise they will not accept it.

It's a form, a respect.

A large number of students in the schools were conscripted and then went to the streets.

This is also a kind of exercise for them.

There are a lot of people who donate money, but most of them donate small money.

Many of the lowest ones are a copper plate.

Usually there are only a dozen copper coins, but of course there are many.

Some businessmen have sold a lot, ranging from hundreds to thousands.

However, if you gather less, you will get more, and more and more copper coins will be sent back.

The number of counted words is increasing, and the money will be earmarked for special purposes. There is no need for Zhang Ming to pay attention to the money. Anyway, he just needs to allocate less money to immigrants.

This time it is really taken from the people and used by the people.

A few days later, the money Zhang Ming collected was already in the millions.

This is a considerable sum of money.

After a few days, newspapers were delivered to various places.

Yuan Shao got the newspaper on the fourth day after it was issued.

He distributed a copy to all his subordinates. This was urgently brought by Yuan Shao from other places, and Yecheng had to wait a day to get it.

Yuan Shao frowned when he saw the newspaper.

Several important staff members were called by Yuan Shao.

"The newspaper's headline says, Cao Cao has massacred the city again, what do you think?"

Yuan Shao would use this time to talk about things because of the information he got, that Cao Cao didn't slaughter the city at all.

Zhang Ming would collect information, and Yuan Shao also sent many spies.

Ordinary people don't know, but he does.

"Zhang Ming talks nonsense, his heart can be punished." Shen Pei said.

The rest of the people were silent, and they also knew that Zhang Ming was talking nonsense, but so what?

Do you want Yuan Shao to come out and clarify?
That is impossible, Yuan Shao may also get into trouble by then.

Guo Tu also came out and said: "Master, we are not harmed at this time, and we can still attack Cao Cao, so we can only let it go."

Yuan Shao was not satisfied with this statement.

Guo Tu continued to speak, "My lord, not only can we not help Cao Cao to clarify, but we should post a notice to attack Cao Cao."

Everyone nodded, knowing the weight of this report.

The newspapers have reported Cao Cao's massacre many times. Why is it so influential this time?
Because it was just news before, but this time it added comments, and there are emotions when there are comments.

Zhang Ming crusaded Cao Cao with provocative language, and also proposed the idea of ​​helping the people of Xuzhou.

In this way, the anger that had been accumulated before was detonated.

Yuan Shao nodded silently.

However, Ju Shou stood up.

"My lord, if we post a notice to crusade against Cao Cao, it will be an endorsement of Zhang Ming's newspaper, and the authority of this newspaper will be stronger. If one day in the future, Zhang Ming speaks ill of us in the newspaper and turns black and white, what should we do? "

Yuan Shao was shocked, he always felt that something was wrong, that's why he called everyone.

Now it seems that this newspaper is really a big hazard.

Yuan Shao blurted out, "Then what should we do?"

"The best way is for us to also run a newspaper, but I have learned privately that we need a lot of labor to print these dozen pages of newspapers, and it will take six days to complete."

"And this is just typesetting. If it is printed, it will take a few days. A newspaper needs more than 60 copper coins. Compared with Youzhou, there is no way to compare."

Yuan Shao was in trouble. A newspaper would cost more than 60 copper coins for the paper alone. If other things were added, wouldn’t a newspaper cost [-] copper coins?
And how much is Zhang Ming?Only 15 copper coins.

How does this compete?

When they are printed, how many people can buy them?

The judge rolled his eyes and said, "My lord, why don't we just ban this newspaper?"

prohibit?

How can it be forbidden.

Even if it is banned, it will flow in through secret channels, and then the newspaper's news will become gossip, and it will still be widely spread.

At that time, if there was news that was unfavorable to Yuan Shao and the others, they couldn't grasp it immediately. When they knew it, the news would have spread long ago, and they would be more passive at that time.

Ju Shou said: "My lord, I have an idea."

It's good to have an idea.

"Say it."

"My lord, we still print like this, and the price is 70 copper coins for one copy. If the price can be lowered in the future, it will be lowered."

"70 copper coins, not many ordinary people can afford it, but the aristocratic family does not lack this money, we can set up newspaper reading places in some fixed places every day, and send people to read the newspaper openly."

read the newspaper.

This is wonderful.

In many places, reading to the common people, the illiterate can understand the news.

In this way, a lot of costs can be saved.

"Okay, this matter is settled like this."

"In addition, draw up an announcement to crusade against Cao Cao."

With a solution, Yuan Shao was determined, he knew that public opinion should be in his own hands.

Today, Zhang Ming's newspaper is already the biggest public opinion weapon of the big man, and it can even penetrate into ordinary people.

Jushou made meritorious service and was rewarded by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao even entrusted Jushou to handle these errands.

Guo Tu and the judge were very upset.

If they are allowed to operate, they can arrange their own people, and there is no telling how much they can make from it.

The newspaper reached many places in Jizhou the next day.

The people in Jizhou were also filled with righteous indignation after seeing it, and they also petitioned to let Yuan Shao send troops to attack Cao Cao.

This man's heart and morale are available, and Yuan Shao also has capable people under his command, so he mobilized immediately.

Even in Yuan Shao's army, the morale was high and the soldiers trained hard.

For the first time, the world knew that it could control public opinion in this way.

Some people of insight know how frightening this flimsy newspaper is.

He can easily destroy a person.

However, only Zhang Ming has the technology of printing newspapers, and other princes want to do it, and it is difficult to imitate. Of course, they can print simple newspapers.

That is, newspapers with short length, less news, and less timeliness.
