Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Hua Mao didn't expect Liu Rushi to be dissatisfied with the circulation. He was quite surprised, but he didn't dare to refute. He quickly admitted his mistake and said, "The lesson is that humble employees should not compare themselves with the Beijing News. There are still two hours in the afternoon. , I will definitely ask the people below to work harder and try to sell more."

Liu Rushi saw that Hua Mao's words were all aimed at dealing with her, so he said, "Director Hua, let me ask you something. How many people do you think can read and write among the million people in Nanjing?"

"This..." Huamao pondered for a while, and said, "Nanjing is the place where scholars from the Ming Dynasty gathered, and now it is the capital city. There must be thirty to forty thousand people who can read and write."

"You underestimated." Liu Rushi said, "In other words, the people you mentioned who can read are those who can punctuate sentences.

Don't forget, the content in our newspaper has punctuation marks and plain sentences, even people who only know a few hundred commonly used words can understand some of the content by guessing.

There are more than [-] to [-] people in Nanjing who know hundreds of words like this?If women are counted, it must be more than [-].

So, do you still think we should aim for a circulation of [-] copies?

What's more, the place we want to distribute is not only Nanjing City, but also other counties and even towns in Yingtianfu, even outside of Yingtianfu. "

Hearing Liu Rushi's lecture, Hua Mao couldn't help sweating his forehead, and quickly responded: "I understand - I will take the distribution office up and down, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and increase the circulation of our Da Ming Pao as much as possible." quantity."

Liu Rushi finally smiled, nodded and said, "You're right to think so."

Immediately, Liu Rushi walked around in various places in the courtyard of the distribution office, talked with one or two small officials and newsboys, and learned about some specific problems they encountered in their work, and then left.

As soon as he came out, a staff member from the administrative office came over and said, "For promotion, there are a few more applicants."

Liu Rushi was dissatisfied when he heard the words: "Do you still need to ask me repeatedly about this kind of thing? Didn't I say earlier that I asked the person to go back and prepare a personal resume according to the template we gave, and when it was ready, hand it over to the newspaper office and wait for us. The notification is."

As a former Qinhuai prostitute, Liu Rushi was originally a very elegant woman, and her personality was quite gentle.

But since he became the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, he has a lot of things to do, and there are various pressures to bear, so his temper can't help but become a little irritable.

Even the speed of speaking is not as refined and slow as before, but brisk and concise - this point is also somewhat influenced by Aimee Zhu.

The official said: "Tiju, two of the people here are quite well-known among Nanjing literati, you should go and have a look."

Liu Rushi likes to make friends with literati, so she subconsciously thought about it, but immediately stopped, frowned and said: "Even if we are famous, we can't make an exception. In this way, you go tell them, and say that it is necessary to apply for a job in a newspaper office." It is a new rule of the court to submit resumes first.

As a newspaper, I recommend them, and I will meet them when they reach the interview stage. "

The official didn't dare to refute any more, so he answered and went to do it.

Liu Rushi went to other departments to inspect.

At 05:30, the clock of the newspaper office rang once to remind Liu Rushi to resign along with all the officials of the newspaper office.

Before leaving, he repeatedly asked the guards in charge of the guards and the left-behind officials to be careful to guard against fires and thieves.

When Liu Rushi came back to the Qian Mansion, the butler came over and said in a low voice, "Madam is back. Today, more than a dozen guests came to visit you. The master sent a dozen of them away, but three guests were also left behind to entertain you." , are waiting for you."

Hearing this, Liu Rushi couldn't help frowning, and walked towards the side courtyard while saying: "Didn't I say earlier that all those who come to visit me these days will disappear?

And why did the master send away a dozen or so and leave three behind?What do those who are sent away think?Master is confused, don't you know how to persuade him? "

The housekeeper wiped his sweat, "I tried to persuade, but it's useless. The master said that those few are distinguished guests, so it's not easy to offend them."

At the same time, I was sighing in my heart: Since this lady became an official, she has become difficult to serve.

Liu Rushi stopped in his tracks and said: "Now, go and tell the master that I'm not feeling well today, and I'll see those guests another day."

"This..." The butler said with hesitation on his face, "Master ordered you to go directly to the living room when you come back."

Hearing this, Liu Rushi wanted to get angry for no reason, but suddenly remembered that this was a Qian's house after all, and she was a stepwife supported by a concubine.

So he took a deep breath, walked quickly to the living room of the main house, and met the three distinguished guests that Qian Qianyi had mentioned.

But in fact, these three are nothing more than sour literati with some notoriety in Nanjing.

In the past, it was not easy for this kind of people to see Qian Qianyi's face, but now that Qian Qianyi has a bad reputation among scholars, even this kind of people, he has to try his best to curry favor with him.

All three of them came to ask for an official.

Yes, they only want to be the deputy officials in the newspaper offices that are still vacant, and they don't want to be officials.

Not to mention that these three people had no intention of going to the newspaper office to go through the formal process, and their talents did not meet the needs of the newspaper office at all in Liu Rushi's opinion.Therefore, she declined after a few words of entertainment.

Unexpectedly, one of them turned his face immediately and criticized her on the spot for running "Da Ming Pao" for not being full of vernacular articles, nonsense, almost pointing at her face and swearing.

Is Liu Ru the head of the family who is not good at driving people away, so she can only go back to Jiangyun Tower, her former residence in the side courtyard, in anger.

After about half an hour, Qian Qianyi sent the three "distinguished guests" away and came to Jiangyun Tower.

He knocked on the door, and was about to open it and go straight in, but he saw Bai Shao, Liu Rushi's personal maid, came out and said, "Master, madam has been exhausted all day, and she feels unwell after coming back, she has already rested, what's the matter?" Please talk about it tomorrow."

Qian Qianyi was still very concerned about Liu Rushi, and said urgently: "Madam, what's wrong? Do you need to call a doctor?"

As he said that, he was about to go in - as the head of the family, he didn't think there was any place in the house that he couldn't enter.

But Bai Shao bit the bullet and stopped in front of the door, saying: "Master, madam is really resting."

"I can't go in after rest?" Qian Qianyi frowned, unhappy.

He was so angry, Bai Shao really didn't dare to stop him.

Qian Qianyi snorted, and was about to push Bai Shao away and walk in, but unexpectedly two arms stretched out from the side to block him.

But it was the two female soldiers of the Suzaku Battalion guarding the edge of the Jiangyun Tower who came over.

One of them said indifferently: "Master Qian, since Liu Tiju won't let you in, you might as well not go in."

Qian Qianyi was about to open his mouth to scold, but he saw that the two female soldiers were both carrying crossbows, and the general was carrying short firecrackers and short knives. Their leather armor and military uniforms were as red as blood. His eyes were also cold, as if they were looking at Butchering pigs and dogs made him terrified, and he was scared.

He backed out of the porch and yelled upstairs, "Madam, let me come in and see you, okay?"

Liu Rushi did not respond.

Qian Qianyi's heart moved, and he said again: "Madam is not feeling well, may I ask the doctor to come and see?"

Upstairs, Liu Rushi, another maid, Ban Xia, opened a window and said: "Master, Madam said no, she will just rest for one night, if you have something to do, you can talk about it tomorrow. Please go back to the main house."

Qian Qianyi wanted to say something more, but saw that the other eight female soldiers of the Suzaku Battalion who followed Liu Rushi these days also appeared in various places in the courtyard, looking at him with interested but indifferent eyes.

This made him feel ashamed and even more frightened. He didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only leave with a sigh.

After dark, Liu Rushi had just drank a bowl of porridge made in the small kitchen, when someone came to report that Bian Yujing and Dong Xiaowan asked to see him.

'It turned out to be them?You don't come here to ask for an official, do you? '

Thinking this way in her heart, Liu Rushi was a little curious about the purpose of these two Qinhuai famous prostitutes in the past, and at this moment, she also wanted to talk to these two, so she asked Menzi and the others to bring her to the side courtyard...

In the morning of the next day, Liu Rushi came to the Hall of Martial Arts to report to Auntie Zhu about yesterday's hairstyles for newspapers and periodicals.

After Liu Rushi finished speaking, Auntie Zhu nodded with a smile, "You did a good job in the first issue of this ten-day issue of "Da Ming Pao", with a circulation of nearly [-] copies on the same day, it is not bad.

It is still safe to run this newspaper at the moment, and the increase in circulation can be done slowly. "

Liu Rushi made a bow, "My minister, please remember."

Seeing that Liu Rushi did not leave after reporting the work, Auntie Zhu asked, "Do you have other business?"
