Borrow the day to change the day

But Zhong Jinwei didn't seem to care at all, still smiling and said: "It's okay, now there is no need to reach the size of one person. As I said before, only the provincial capitals of two capitals and thirteen provinces are enough. Of course, other If there is a place, it will be better."

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's pensive look, he went further and said: "The distribution of newspapers can be distributed for free to those crowded places at the beginning, such as restaurants, hotels and inns, etc. After this new thing, start charging. As long as the price is not too expensive, these places will naturally buy it.”

Wen Tiren accepted this method faster than Emperor Chongzhen, because he knew the places Zhongxinghou mentioned better.

Even if there are no people who can read and write, there are always tents in these places.The accountant reads the newspaper and reads a passage to the customers, which does not require much extra cost. It is a kind of benefit to the business of the store to let the customers who live in the store and eat have a topic to discuss.

"Marquis Zhongxing, the scale of this newspaper's circulation is much larger than that of Dibao, and the speed will be much slower. And if the newspaper has more pages, the speed will be slower, and the price will remain high. To effectively expand the influence. ..”

The more Zhong Jinwei listened, the more confused he became. He interrupted Wen Tiren's question and said, "Master Wen, wait a minute, why can't I understand what you are saying. What will be slower and the price will remain high?"

When Wen Tiren heard this, he stretched out his fingers and said to him: "Look, when the capital publishes newspapers, how many copyists are hired to copy them; after the copies are finished, they will be quickly distributed to the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and then how many more will they ask for?" Chaoshou is increasingly rushing to work..."

"Wait, wait, Master Wen, why did you copy it by hand?" Zhong Jinwei asked strangely.

"Didn't Di Bao just do that?" Wen Tiren said this more and more slowly, he realized that he seemed to be wrong again, and then immediately added: "Even if it is printed, it will take a long time to hire workers to carve..."

Zhong Jinwei looked at Wen Tiren, and suddenly asked: "Master Wen, did you not sleep well last night?"

Wen Tiren was startled when he heard this, and after a while, he asked a little embarrassedly: "Why did the Marquis of Zhongxing say that?"

After saying that, he sighed, and before Zhong Jinwei could answer, he explained: "For this morning's meeting, I have worked hard for a long time, and I am really a little tired."

It turned out that Wen Tiren had been working hard for the feudal prince's clan meeting these days, and he didn't sleep well at night, and he was always worried.

After a successful meeting in the morning, my heart relaxes, and a sense of fatigue follows.

I thought it would be relatively easy to hold a summary meeting in the afternoon, since there were not many things to do, and I could go back to rest on time.

But I didn't expect that there would be another civil uprising in Nanjing in the afternoon, and I became nervous again.Fatigue and tension made his thinking rigid, and his mind was always unable to turn around.

Emperor Chongzhen saw the situation at the top, and immediately ordered Wang Cheng'en: "Quickly move a soft stool to Shoufu, and give Shoufu a bowl of iced golden silk bird's nest that Guangdong paid tribute to."

When Wen Tiren heard this, he quickly thanked her.

Zhong Jinwei was also worried about Wen Tiren's health, so he said to Wen Tiren: "Master Wen, I'm going to talk in detail, after I finish speaking, you can save some time by talking again."

After hearing what Zhong Jinwei said, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen to give Zhong Jinwei the same treatment.Both of them are his subordinates, and there must be one less.

After being so busy for a while, Zhong Jinwei continued to explain: "After the newspaper is typeset, it will be printed with movable type. It will not take much time and cost. You can have as many newspapers as you want."

Di Bao has always been made by hand-copying. The time when movable type printing was used in Di Bao began in Chongzhen around 15 years ago.Now that Zhong Jinwei said so, not only the newspaper was printed with movable type, but even the residence newspaper was also printed with movable type.

When Zhong Jinwei said this, he stopped for a while, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "If you still want to save costs, you can print some advertisements of merchants in newspapers and charge them a certain fee."

"Advertising?" Emperor Chongzhen heard a new term.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei explained the meaning of the advertisement in detail, and then said: "If it is possible, the advertisement of the fish floss can be published in newspapers, so that more people can know about it, thereby increasing sales."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a while before saying: "Let's put this advertisement aside for now, and wait until the newspaper is published for a while before reading it."

Zhong Jinwei was indifferent to this anyway, and Emperor Chongzhen could do as he said.

But there is one thing, he still reminded: "Your Majesty, once this newspaper run by the imperial court comes out, I can affirm that there will definitely be similar newspapers among the people."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, but he didn't want to understand the purpose of Zhong Jinwei's words, so he asked, "What does Master Zhong mean?"

"Because newspapers have the function of guiding public opinion, my minister suggested that if the people want to run such newspapers, they must obtain the approval of the court. Moreover, the sample newspapers must be sent to the government for review, and they can only be published and sold after there are no harmful contents."

After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, he suddenly felt as if he was the target of being attacked by the cynical youth of Ming Dynasty in the future.However, judging from the current situation of Daming, this point is actually very necessary, and it is better to slowly relax the control of public opinion in the future.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and Zhong Jinwei was very considerate in doing things.

Zhong Jinwei is not a superman. He gave Emperor Chongzhen a lot of advice, which is actually something that later generations already have.Copy it directly, naturally there will be no mistakes or omissions.

When it comes to this matter, it is basically the same.

Zhong Jinwei originally wanted to talk about the students, but before Emperor Chongzhen had asked Wang Chengen to investigate the situation of the existing students, he decided to wait until he saw the specific results.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhong Jinwei had nothing to add, so he said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, the newspaper matter really needs to be implemented. You can write a detailed report later, and I will arrange people to do it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhong Jinwei agreed.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wen Tiren, and asked with concern: "Does Wen Qing have anything to add?"

"I have nothing to add." Wen Tiren shook his head and replied.

"Okay, the two lovers will go back to rest, they are tired enough today." Emperor Chongzhen ordered.

In fact, he also felt the same, because the vassal king's clan meeting was so important that he was always nervous.Relax now, and fatigue is inevitable.

But at this time, the word backfired again.

Wen Tiren and Zhong Jinwei just stood up, ready to say goodbye.There were hurried footsteps outside again, and there were faint voices.

Several people in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, could it be that there was another eight hundred li urgent delivery?

A few of them listened intently, trying to hear the voice clearly, so as to know what it was this time.
