Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 251 Gongsundu asks for help, Tian Feng's four strategies
Lu Bu and Daniel finally had a new breakthrough after several days of research.

In the past, hemp was used as a raw material for papermaking, which undoubtedly increased the price of hemp.

After research, it was found that not only marijuana can be used, but other plants can still be used to make pulp, and Lu Bu also developed a masher for mashing.

In fact, it is to use the law of leverage so that the operator can smash more plants with less effort.

Lu Bu personally studied all the techniques carefully.

"General, can you see if this works?" Daniel strode into the big tent with the paper he had just dried.

Lu Bu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he stroked the paper lightly. Although it was much better than before, it still hadn't achieved the effect he wanted.

"No, it's obviously because the cooking time is too long. From now on, you will set the cooking time to one hour," Lu Bu said.

Daniel lowered his head, "Okay, I'll go down and try again."

"General, look"

"No, it's obviously because it wasn't crushed enough, and the fibers of the trees can still be seen on it," Lu Bu said.

"Oh"

Although Daniel didn't know what fiber was, but Lu Bu said no, he just couldn't.

Scratching his head, he went down to study again.

over and over again,
Until the No. 20th time, Daniel walked into the big tent with a flat and slightly yellowed paper.

Although the effect this time was dozens of times better than before, Daniel didn't hold out any hope, after all, the general's vision was indeed very high.

Compared with the paper they made before, it has been improved by more than ten grades.

Lu Bu looked at the white paper in Daniel's hand, and his face was slightly happy. The paper produced this time is indeed much better than before.

Although it is a little yellowed, if you want to get real white paper, you need to go through the bleaching process. Lu Bu has not thought of how to do it for the time being.

"Okay, very good, this time the paper has really improved a lot, pen and ink!"

The personal guard handed the Langhao brush and charcoal ink to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu waved the Langhao brush in his hand, and wrote a poem with ease.

"Independence cold autumn, the Xiangjiang River goes north, at the head of Juzizhou.

Look at Wanshan red all over, and the forests are all dyed;

The eagle hits the sky, the fish is shallow, and the tens of thousands of frosts are free.

怅寥 ,, ask the vast land, who is up and down?

Bringing a hundred lovers for a trip, recalling the long and sturdy years of the past.

Just a young boy, Fenghua Zhengmao; book business gas, swaying Fang.

Pointing the country, enthusiastic writing, the dung soil was ten thousand households back then.

Have you ever remembered that when the current hits the water, the waves hold back the flying boat!

This is "Qinyuanchun Changsha", and Lu Bu also felt it at this time.

"You just mass-produce paper according to the process just now, and I want to see [-] copies in two days," Lu Bu said.

Daniel stood there and hesitated for a moment, the workshop is not full of people right now.

But seeing Lu Bu so satisfied, he himself was very happy, gritted his teeth, and said in a straightforward tone, "Okay, no problem, I promise to complete the task."

Lu Bu rejoiced in his heart, "I, Lu Bu, always distinguish rewards and punishments when doing things. This time you have made great achievements, and I must reward you well."

Lu Bu asked again: "Da Niu, how much does a piece of paper cost now?"

Daniel counted with his fingers, "Now the paper mill can make about a thousand sheets of paper of this size a day, and the cost of one sheet is about [-] yuan."

Lu Bu frowned and pondered for a moment, one piece of capital cost one yuan, which is still a bit expensive, but it has been reduced by more than ten times compared to before.

"Although the cost is very low, it can still be lowered. After you go back, you must find a way to expand production and reduce costs."

"Yes, General!" Daniel nodded.

Lu Bu said loudly, "Come here, Da Niu has made great achievements in making paper, and I will reward you with a thousand coins."

Daniel was overjoyed, and immediately bowed to thank Lu Bu.

Soldiers may like weapons and armor, but for these workers, nothing is more practical than rewards.

Only when there are rewards and punishments can people's hearts be retained.

After Daniel left, Lu Bu looked at the paper in his hand and was very happy.

Looking at the square paper, it seems to think of the newspaper in the previous life.

In this era, there is no such thing as a newspaper, and the transmission of information is very backward. It takes three to five days to receive a reply for each message sent.

Moreover, newspapers are multi-faceted. He can not only publish the latest news, but also advertise and recruit talents.

But who to arrange for this matter is a headache.

If any of Chen Gong, Lu Su, and Zhicai were present, this matter could be easily settled.

If Dian Wei and Zhang Fei are allowed to do it,

It is estimated that they will only stare and stare.

At this moment, Lu Bu suddenly remembered that Tian Yu was also a scribe, so he couldn't be more suitable for this job.

Immediately called Tian Yu and explained his thoughts to Tian Yu in detail.

Tian Yu was a little shocked at first, and then couldn't help but get a little excited, "Yes, my lord's idea is really great, but why didn't I know that someone was going to make this daily newspaper before."

Lu Bu said, "Don't worry, as soon as our daily newspaper comes out, it will definitely cause a sensation in Kyushu."

Tian Yu said anxiously, "It's really not difficult to make a daily newspaper according to the master's idea, but if there are hundreds or thousands of copies, the first is the cost of paper, and the second is where can we find so many people to help us copy the daily newspaper."

The corner of Lu Bu's mouth moved slightly, "I wonder if Mr. Tian Yu has heard of movable type printing?"

Typography?
Tian Yu's thick eyebrows moved slightly, and he couldn't help but feel confused.

"never heard of that!"

"It's actually a very simple printing technique. We just need to make a mold, stain it with ink, and press it lightly on the paper. Isn't it an identical newspaper?"

Everyone was stunned, and Tian Yu showed a look of shock on his face, "The general is really a genius, this kind of method can be thought of, if this is the case, I have no problem here."

"After you make the daily template, show it to me first," Lu Bu said.

"No, just wait for the general, and promise to complete the task."

In a few days, Tian Yu made a template for the daily newspaper, and walked into Lu Bu's big tent with great interest.

Holding the newspaper in his hand, Lu Bu carefully read what Tian You wrote.

As expected of being a scribe, the writing style is very good, and the quotations from the classics can be called a master's work.

But most of them are uncommon and traditional characters, and even Lu Bu can't understand them.

It seems that there is still relatively little control over the culture of this world.

Lu Bu closed the newspaper, then nodded, "The writing is really good, but I have to make a few small suggestions."

Tian Yu said respectfully, "My lord, please tell me."

"We do not write articles when we run a newspaper. If we write articles, we will definitely give you a big prize based on Tian Yu's literary talent.

But the target of our newspapers is not those literati, but mostly poor people. It needs to be easy to understand, so that people seem to know what you are writing.

Secondly, you are full of words here. After reading all of them, it will definitely make people feel dazzled. You can spend some pictures appropriately, such as flowers and plants, birds and fish, etc. The combination of pictures and texts can make people's eyes shine.

Then our articles are all the same size, making people wonder which one is important.

We can divide it into different modules and use the size to distinguish the importance of the article.

We put the important ones on the homepage, and the unimportant ones can be put in the corners.”

Tian Yu was suddenly enlightened. He never thought that there are so many things to pay attention to in being a newspaper. He really lives and learns.

"Then what modules do you think we should divide into?" Tian Yu continued to ask.

Lu Bu recalled the newspapers in his previous life, "Well, now we will divide the newspapers into three modules. The first module is the political and military module. Most of them contain the imperial edicts of the current imperial court, and the records of officials' promotion or transfer. You can also introduce our army's recent victories, and let the world know the strength of our Lu Bu army, and they will be frightened when they hear the news.

The second module is about some policies under my Lu Bu rule, and what benefits these policies can bring to the people, so that the people will support our army, and the people will be invincible.

The third module can be set as the investment promotion module, and some investment promotion modules can be set in some corners. Even if the economy of the Han Dynasty is far behind, the poor are too poor to afford food, but the rich are still rich.

When our daily registration becomes popular all over the world, they will definitely recruit us to promote their products, which is also our profit model, and by then we will not only make a lot of money every day.”

There was a shocked expression on Tian Yu's face. He was already a well-informed person, but compared with Lu Bu's ideas, that was really nothing.

"My lord, considering the cost of manpower and materials, I don't know how to price our newspaper in the future to be reasonable," Tian Yu said.

Lu Bu said, "The purpose of our newspaper is to add something to the common people to talk about after dinner, to let people in the world know about our army, to increase the reputation of our army, and to recruit talents from all over the world to advertise our products.

As for making money, I've also thought about it. In addition to the advertising fees in the future, we will release three issues for free first, so as to accumulate a certain amount of fame.

Charges start from the fourth period. After a preliminary estimate, the cost of a newspaper is probably less than a penny. The price of all newspapers under my Lubu County is one penny. As for the rest of the princes, they will be distributed for free. ! "

"free"

"My lord, the thighs of mosquitoes are also meat, why do we give them away for free?"

A smirk appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, "You don't understand that, if it doesn't work out as I expected, our newspaper will become famous all over the world in the future.

It is very likely that even Emperor Xian and Empress Dowager He will hide in the deep palace and read our newspapers.

If there is a fee, the other princes may not think much about it. If there is no fee, they will definitely think that we have some conspiracy and panic in their hearts.

Of course, this is also an important move I made. Sometimes public opinion is often sharper than a sharp sword.

If we publish some remarks in the newspapers to encourage the people, it is very likely that a large army will be directly defeated, defeated, or even disappear.”

Tian Yu nodded, showing a thoughtful look.

Then he said happily, "The general is really powerful. Not only is he very smart in business, but he is also so clever in strategizing. This Tian Yu is panicking."

"Oh, why is Tian Yu panicking?"

"If I were the lord's opponent, I would die a miserable death!"

"Hahaha",
The two laughed a lot.

Tian Yu continued, "Then what kind of name should our daily newspaper be given after it is published?"

Lu Bu frowned and thought for a while, "Now we are in Liaodong, so let's call it Liaodong Daily."

Then let Tian Yu print [-] copies according to the method Lu Bu just said, and send them to the princes and generals of the four directions.

It became famous for a while and caused a huge sensation in various states and counties.

One of the modules also advertised a lot of good wine.

In Luoyang City, Cao Cao took the newspaper from Xun Yu, flipped it through, and said, "Why did Wen Ruo give this to me? Thousands of miles away, what's there to see.

But the paper is pretty good, where did you get it?"

Xun Yu said solemnly, "On the street, in today's Kyushu, I am afraid that many people have read this Liaodong Daily."

"Liaodong Daily, it's interesting, but what's the use of a piece of waste paper?"

Xun Yu said, "My lord, don't underestimate this Liaodong daily newspaper. My lord, take a look at this paper first. Even the Cai family can't make such paper. As far as I know, our Luoyang city alone put out [-] copies." ".

Cao Cao nodded, "It is indeed a big deal. This paper has always been precious, and only the royal family has the right to enjoy it. Where did they get so much paper?"

Xun Yu said, "This is the first, and secondly, my lord, look at the content here. Although it is easy to understand and cannot be understood by us, it is very applicable to the people around us.

In addition, it was distributed free of charge, and they all scrambled to snatch the distributed newspapers.”

"Send it for free? Who is crazy to waste paper like this?" Cao Cao said loudly.

Xun Yu said flatly, "Lu Bu!"

Cao Cao's eyebrows moved slightly, "Lu Bu? This guy has occupied Bingzhou and Xuzhou. He has a large number of soldiers and a lot of money and food. He does have this strength, but he can't be so squandered."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Everyone is reading the Liaodong Daily now. If this newspaper spreads, once any information that is not good for us is written on it, it will definitely be extremely bad for our army, and we are helpless!" Xun You said. .

Xun Yu also nodded, "Exactly."

Cao Cao reacted in an instant, "Lu Bu, you are quite courageous. Is he trying to spread public opinion to our Luoyang City?"

Xun You continued, "It's not so serious right now, but we have to guard against it."

"Then what solution do we have now," Cao Cao said in a hurry.

Xun Yu said, "Since Lu Bu can run the Liaodong Daily, why can't we run the Luoyang Daily?

Luoyang City is the capital of the empire, and its power will definitely be more powerful than Lu Bu's "Luoyang Daily."

Xun Yu said with a deep expression, "It's easy to run the Luoyang Daily, but the most important thing right now is the issue of paper. As far as I know, a piece of paper in Luoyang City currently costs at least [-] Wen.

We may not be able to support such a huge expenditure."

Cao Cao showed a fierce look on his face, "Why is this so difficult, the paper in Luoyang City should be made by the Cai family, let Cai Yong do his best to provide paper to cooperate with our army to establish Luoyang Daily.

He Cai Yong dared to say half a word, I have my own way to deal with him."

In less than a month, a trend of daily newspapers emerged in all parts of Kyushu. Cao Cao's "Luoyang Daily", Dong Zhuo's "Chang'an Daily", and Yuan Shao's "Jizhou Daily" appeared successively.

Even Ma Teng established a "Liangzhou Daily".

Newspapers were rampant for a while, and the price of paper doubled. If they want to establish a daily newspaper, they will naturally need paper. In addition, the paper produced by Lu Bujun is cheap, and there are an endless stream of buyers. This is beyond Lu Bu's expectation outside.
