Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 306 The Power of Pictures

The newspaper was printed, and this time Zhang Ming went to the printing factory to have a look.

"Not bad, the lines are clear, thanks to you."

Zhang Ming came to check the quality of the painting, and the printed result was really good.

"This time, tens of thousands more copies will be printed."

Under Zhang Ming's order, working overtime, the printing factory printed 30 copies this time.

Today, the price of newspapers has been reduced a lot, as long as 11 copper coins per copy.

Expected, there is still room for decline.

The reason for the decline is that when making paper, workers are becoming more and more proficient, and various processes are being optimized, gradually saving costs.

At least, so many raw materials will not be wasted, and the efficiency will be improved, so the price will naturally come down.

As for the ink, it is also the technology provided by Zhang Ming, and the price is slowly dropping.

In addition, sales have been supported.

Zhang Ming took the initiative to lower the price, and more and more people bought it.

Because they found that buying this newspaper can make money, at least for writing, which is much cheaper than buying blank paper.

Using newspapers to write brush characters is not just right, it can be reused.

Of course, more people bought them back for collection, and some even took them back as teaching materials.

Newspapers were printed and sent around before dawn.

"Sell newspapers sell newspapers."

"If you want to know what Cao Cao did to Xuzhou, please read today's newspaper."

"Tao Qian was incompetent, and tens of thousands of people left."

"The state shepherd will make another decision to resettle the refugees with all his strength"

Many places selling newspapers immediately became popular.

Many people have become accustomed to the habit of reading newspapers every day.

Therefore, as soon as the newspaper was launched, many people began to buy it.

"Hey, it only costs 11 copper coins today."

"Hurry up and get a copy, what's new today."

"How is the battle in Xuzhou?"

"Give it to me"

Newspapers spread out with fast channels.

The people in Youzhou got the newspapers early and began to read them.

"Cao Cao beast, this city has been harmed."

"With so many barren mounds, I don't know how many people died."

"damned."

"The people are suffering."

"It's a good village, but it's run down like this."

"My village in Qingzhou is probably similar to this. Fortunately, my whole family came to Youzhou."

"damn it"

Today's newspapers also shocked the common people.

The few pictures in the newspaper seem to have awakened the memories of many people.

These paintings, many of them have similar experiences.

These paintings are very realistic and are drawn on the spot.

Many people want to cry when they look at these paintings, because they have experienced similar things.

"These people have to take over."

"They are so pitiful, just like us a few years ago."

"Hey, in this world, is there only one place in Youzhou where people can live?"

"Tao Qian is incompetent, Tao Qian is incompetent."

"Cao Cao is brutal."

"Dong Zhuo is alive."

This newspaper, as Zhang Ming expected, is very popular.

It's not just hot, it ignited the emotions of the people again.

Many people attacked Cao Cao.

Many people cursed on the street, and many literati gathered.

Cao Cao must be ready to bear another wave of infamy.

Zhang Ming knew that the meaning was different this time, and he even advertised in the back of the newspaper.

Yes, Zhang Ming has been advertising one after another, and at the same time, he has also started to attract investment. He also wants to advertise for others, as long as he can afford it.

The advertisement this time is an advertisement for recruiting talents. At the same time, Zhang Ming plans to start the imperial examination next year.

Zhang Ming intends to trigger an additional newspaper to introduce the content of the imperial examination.

The imperial examination is divided into new-style education and old-style education. The new-style education is all schools in Youzhou, and they can only participate in the new-style education.

The old-fashioned education is to test the Four Books and Five Classics plus strategy questions and answers, etc., for other students.

"The role of this newspaper will become greater and greater. Prepare to endure wave after wave of storms."

Zhang Ming was very satisfied with the feedback from the newspaper.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were also shocked when they saw the newspaper.

This newspaper can actually print pictures.

This picture doesn't need much explanation, even an illiterate person can understand it.

This is more contagious, which makes Cao Cao panic.

At this time, Cao Cao had already led his troops not far from Xiapi City, and could attack Xiapi City immediately.

He called Cheng Yu to discuss with Guo Jia.

"My lord, I can't delay any longer, I should attack immediately."

Cheng Yu saw this issue of the newspaper, and the contents of the picture were all accusing Cao Cao.

Cao Cao couldn't argue with his mouth, and the war must end as soon as possible.

"Zhongde, how is the news about the newspaper going?"

"There has been progress. Printing with movable type from Youzhou is not so easy. We also need seven days to print one issue, and the price will start at over a hundred."

"Print it, it can't be delayed anymore."

Cao Cao decided to start attacking the next day, and he couldn't afford to wait anymore.

Sure enough, when the newspaper arrived in Xuzhou, many people in the city burst into tears after reading it.

They were even more panicked in it.

At this time, many people in Yanzhou saw the newspaper.

People in Yanzhou took the opportunity to revolt and wanted to turn against Cao Cao.

Fortunately, the soldiers did not see it, but there were also rumors spreading in the army, and the morale was a little unstable.

Inside Yanzhou, the people were silent, they thought Cao Cao was wrong.

Cao Cao felt that something was wrong.

If Zhang Ming continued to publish newspapers, it would be very difficult for him to do so in the future.

For example, wherever he wants to attack in the future, he will be fully resisted by the soldiers and civilians there.

Attack tomorrow.

Cao Cao ordered the camp to be pulled out and approached Xiapi City.

The next day, Cao Cao appeared outside Xiapi City.

When Cao Jun came, Tao Qian knew he couldn't hide.

"Mr. Xuande, please guard the city gate, and don't let Cao Jun take the opportunity to attack."

Tao Qian took people out to plead guilty to Cao Cao, willing to commit suicide, and asked Cao Cao to retreat.

Cao Cao didn't want to, so he fought here at this time, and he saw that the whole Xuzhou was his own.

Cao Cao refused and told Tao Qian to go back and wait for death.

After Tao Qian returned, Cao Cao began to attack.

The fight between the two sides was fierce, and Zhang Ming was also busy recruiting refugees.

As soon as the newspaper came out, the impact was even greater and there were more refugees.

Zhang Ming is also busier.

A large number of refugees were sent over.

"My lord, our tent is in a hurry, and the refugees who came over have no place to live for the time being."

"My lord, some food and grass cannot be transported."

"My lord, there is not enough firewood for cooking now."

"Lord."

Another tens of thousands of refugees have arrived in Youzhou, and Zhang Ming has been dealing with them.

"Mobilize the army, mobilize the people, let some refugees live in the people's homes first."

"In addition, send [-] troops to find a place to build a few villages and let these refugees settle in."

At this time, Zhang Ming had brought back 17 refugees from Xuzhou.

10,000+ people, this is not a small number, and the number is still increasing.

"These two idiots, Cao Cao and Tao Qian, are fighting for me. If you fight for another half year, I will be able to get hundreds of thousands of people out of him."

Although Zhang Ming was a bit busy, he was very proud.
