The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 128 Newspaper Candidates

The more I think about it, the more I think this method is really good.

Although paper is relatively expensive, the most difficult part in ancient times was the engraving process.

They are all carved from a whole wooden board.

If you make a slight mistake, the entire board will be scrapped, so the cost is too high.

But for Lin Hai, this is not difficult at all.

It can be made into copper letter printing, and the one-time investment can be used all the time.

At the same time, you can use newspapers to advertise, and it is difficult not to make money.

Lin Hai did what he said.

First design the movable type printing, and then let the coppersmith create it.

Another huge advantage of printing newspapers is that they can control public opinion in the entire capital.

No matter how powerful those dignitaries and aristocratic families are, they cannot do without the support of the people.

You can use newspapers to publish more praises for the Queen Mother and Lin Tiangui.

You can gain support from more people.

Only those who win the people can win the world!

In addition, the government officials of Jingzhao Mansion patrol around the capital, and they will know immediately if anything happens.

Find a few scholars to record these interesting news stories they say.

Published in a newspaper, it will definitely attract a lot of people.

Wang Dayong was temporarily in charge of the brewing and purification matters, while Lin Hai began to specialize in newspaper matters.

Find the best coppersmith,

Let them make movable type!
Although the cost of using copper for movable type printing was relatively high at first, the printed fonts were clear and beautiful.

And it can be used for a long time.

Spending a little more money is also very cost-effective.

Lin Hai plans to name the newspaper Jingcheng Toutiao.

The first newspaper office in ancient times is under planning to open soon.

When Qiaoer saw Lin Hai coming back, he stayed alone in the study and didn't even care about making wine.

Some snacks were brought.

He asked in confusion: "My husband came back from the Yamen, why do you stay here all the time? He brewed a lot of wine during the day and took it all to the winery!"

"Okay, this business will be looked after by you and Dayong, I feel relieved!"

“There are other things to do and make more money if you do them well!”

Lin Hai replied.

Qiaoer was very confused and saw Lin Hai writing and drawing.

There are squares all over the paper,
It is even more incomprehensible.

"What is your husband writing? Why can't I understand it at all?"

"This is called a newspaper, and it will be published several times a month from now on!"

Lin Hai replied,

"What is a newspaper? Why have I never heard of it?" Qiaoer became even more confused after hearing this.

"Let me tell you this, many talented people in the capital gather together to hold a poetry meeting! They will produce good poems every time.

Then print it in a newspaper and let all readers judge it together!
If you write good poetry, you will become famous!

In addition, you can also write down any delicious and fun places in the capital in newspapers for people to refer to.

There are also some attractive little stories and interesting things that happened in the capital.

It will be printed in the newspaper!
In this way, if you want to know what good poems someone has written in the capital and what new things are happening, you only need to buy a newspaper and you will know! "

Lin Hai explained.

"This thing is quite good! Especially since many people can know what is going on without going out. I believe many people will be willing to buy this newspaper.

But the price can’t be too expensive! "

"It's not expensive. I plan to sell a newspaper for two cents! Even ordinary people can afford it!" Qiaoer became a little worried after hearing this.

"I only sold it for two cents. Isn't it even enough for the capital?"

"It's true that it's just enough money! But I had no intention of using the newspaper to make money."

"If newspapers make money once, other people will definitely follow suit. By then, newspapers will be published in many places, and it will become very chaotic!"

Qiaoer became even more curious: "My husband clearly said that he could make a lot of money, so why now he says that he can't make any money?"

"Hey! You don't understand this! Newspapers don't make money, but the news written in newspapers is still very profitable."

"Let me give you an analogy. For example, if a restaurant launches a new dish, it can advertise in our newspaper and charge a certain fee."

"If any young master wants to be famous, we can print a few more of his poems! We can also charge a large fee!"

Lin Hai patiently explained how to use newspapers for advertising.

"So that's it! My husband is really amazing. He can think of all kinds of ways to make money!"

"Hey, let me tell you! As long as you sell newspapers well, it's very easy to make money! There are many houses in the capital that are difficult to rent out, but people who want to find houses can't find them.

Just publish the rental information in the newspaper!

There are many similar situations where you can charge their advertising fees! "

"Yeah, this thing is really good! My husband, hurry up and do it. I fully support you!" Qiaoer said.

"I'll find you a teacher. You and Xiaolian can learn more words! From now on, you can read newspapers at home and you'll know everything about the capital."

Lin Hai said.

Although I often teach Qiaoer how to read when I am at home.

But she is getting busier and busier, and Qiaoer still hasn’t learned all the words.

In ancient times, being able to read more characters was still of great use.

Qiaoer nodded and agreed!
The newspaper Lin Hai mentioned made Qiaoer very interested, and she must learn to read as soon as possible.

This way you can read the newspaper at home.

Lin Hai designed the size of the movable type!

Also design the sections of the newspaper.

Each type has a dedicated section, which is divided very reasonably.

This can attract readers from all walks of life.

As long as they know the words, they can find what they like to read in the newspaper.

After doing all this, a dedicated person in charge is needed.

Lin Hai had already thought about this person.

Lin Ruoxue is very suitable!
The other one is Princess Chenxi!
The two of them were good friends to begin with, and their statuses were comparable!

The key is that Princess Chenxi is a member of the royal family, so she is on the Queen Mother's side.

Let the two of them be responsible for the compilation of the newspaper, and they will definitely be competent.

Lin Hai asked people to prepare the carriage and came to Lin Tiangui's house.

Lin Ruoxue did not expect that Lin Hai would come looking for her again so soon.

Come here quickly!
Lin Tiangui was about to lead his troops and wanted to know what Lin Hai was talking about when he came to see him personally.

I saw Lin Tiangui and Lin Ruoxue in the study.

Lin Hai first saluted Lin Tiangui!
"This is not outside, so there is no need to be polite! Is there anything important you have to do to come to me at this time?"

Lin Tiangui asked,

"Although I am here to see the prince, my main purpose is actually to see the eldest lady!"

Lin Ruoxue was a little curious after hearing this, and actually came to look for her.

But I felt very happy in my heart.

He secretly thought: "You're not here to propose marriage, are you?"

Lin Hai's performance at the poetry meeting made Lin Ruoxue admire her very much, and she couldn't help but have some random thoughts at this moment.
