The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 129

"Are you here to see Xue'er? What's the matter?"

Lin Tiangui also had doubts on his face.

"It's like this. Many people came to my house today to invite me to participate in the poetry meeting! I wanted to refuse at first, but then I thought of a good idea.

This method can not only make money, but also be of great help to the prince and the queen mother. "

Lin Hai said.

"The king has also read the poem you wrote. It is indeed very good! It is normal for many talented people to admire you.

Are you planning to use your influence in the literary world to recruit people for the Queen Mother? "

Lin Hai shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you guessed wrong now! Although I can write a good poem, my literary talent can only be said to be average.

It is simply impossible to gain a foothold in the literary world! "

"You are too self-effacing! If you can write such a popular poem, no one will underestimate you!" Lin Tiangui said.

"Then why did you come to see me?" Lin Ruoxue became even more curious.

"I want to start a newspaper and publish all the good poems produced by the poetry club. So that readers all over the capital can read..."

Lin Hai explained the newspaper's idea in detail.

After Lin Tiangui and Lin Ruoxue heard this, they couldn't help but marvel.

No one has ever had such an idea.

The most famous people can only publish a book of poems!
Such costs are very high, so we can only rely on our own appeal to sell more.

Only then can we recover costs and even make money.

But most people are likely to lose money when publishing books.

It is precisely because of this that books are so expensive.

Ordinary people cannot afford to study at all. Whether it is buying books or paying for paper and pens, it is a huge burden for ordinary people.

But the cost of what Lin Hai said was relatively low.

A newspaper cost only two cents, and ordinary people could afford it.

And there is no burden.

Even Lin Tiangui thinks this is a very good idea.

"You are right, literati care most about their reputation!"

"It will definitely attract many people to follow, and we will also be able to select some useful talents for the imperial court!"

Lin Tiangui strongly agrees with this approach.

"Actually, everything about making money is easy, as long as we run this newspaper well! Controlling the public opinion of the people is the most important thing
of. ”

"You can write more about the prince's military achievements abroad. How difficult it is! How much effort the Queen Mother spent on the lives of the people.

Not only can it win the hearts of the people all over the world.

Those talented people who concentrate on serving the court will also strengthen their beliefs. "

Lin Hai specifically explained the benefits of newspaper publishing.

Lin Tiangui was also extremely happy after hearing this.
"Your idea is indeed a good one. I will tell the Queen Mother later! Let the court fully support you!"

"Don't bother me! I can just do it myself. In fact, I just need someone who can manage the newspaper office.

This person must stand with us.

Moreover, he is quite talented, and most people would not dare to target him easily! "

Lin Tiangui was full of doubts: "You came to me not to ask me to recommend talents to you, right?"

"Your Majesty is absolutely right! I want the eldest lady to help me run the newspaper office! I participated in the poetry meeting before and I thought Princess Chenxi was good.

If the prince thinks she is suitable, he can also win her over together!
You can get some salary by coming to the newspaper office, and you can also earn some dividends!
The key is that I found that Princess Chenxi prefers to be in the limelight.

Letting her join him as editor-in-chief can also enhance his reputation.

I think Princess Chenxi will not refuse! "

Lin Hai said.

Lin Tiangui didn't agree after hearing this.

"How can a woman show up for such a big thing? Princess Chenxi and Xue'er are not married yet, so maybe it's not appropriate?" Lin Ruoxue didn't expect that Lin Hai valued her so much.

Just listening to Lin Hai explain the importance of the newspaper office.

I know that I can control many things in the entire capital.

There must be enough talent and focus.

Since Lin Hai valued him so much, of course he would not refuse.

Lin Ruoxue said quickly: "This matter is of great importance, and I don't feel comfortable leaving it to others. I am willing to help manage the newspaper!"

"And I believe that Princess Chenxi must also like to do this! Princess Chenxi spent so much money to form a poetry club.

And our newspaper can control all the poetry societies and talents in the entire capital.

Princess Chenxi will never let go of such a good opportunity.

Even if she is not given any salary, she will agree to do it. "

Lin Tiangui saw Lin Ruoxue being so active,
Then he glanced at Lin Hai again and became thoughtful.

"Well, there really is no other suitable candidate for such an important matter. You can help Lin Hai, but the publicity matters should be left to other people.

Just do things behind the scenes.

Princess Chenxi is also a trustworthy person, you can trust her! "

Lin Tiangui finally agreed.

Lin Hai was extremely happy: "I feel completely relieved now! Without the help of the eldest lady, I would definitely be extremely busy.

This is definitely not the best! "

"Don't expect too much from me! I've never done anything like this before. If I don't understand something, I'll ask you more." Although Lin Ruoxue was very happy, she was very humble.

"Don't worry, I've designed everything for you! What content should be written in each section is completely fixed.

Let me explain it to you and you will understand it immediately! "

Lin Hai took out the designed drawings.

There is a special poetry section, an article section, a story section, a news section...

Even advertisements need to have well-designed slogans.

You can’t just publish it online!

Lin Tiangui and Lin Ruoxue were extremely amazed after hearing this.

It's amazing that there is such a novel idea.

But after listening, Lin Tiangui frowned slightly.

"This thing is really good! But there are several copies of a newspaper, plus the printing money for each edition.

I'm afraid I'll lose money if I only sell it for two pennies! "

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I calculated this all myself, and I will definitely not lose money! The paper used in the newspaper does not need to be too good.

After reading it, you can throw it away and use more ordinary paper.

This way the cost is much lower!

And I also plan to use movable type printing, so I don’t have to print with stereotypes every time! "

Lin Hai explained movable type printing.

Lin Tiangui was even more shocked.

Printing costs have always been the reason why book prices remain high.

I didn't expect Lin Hai to have such a magical idea.

In this way, you only need to make a set of movable type and assemble them directly.

This way the cost of printing is indeed greatly reduced.

"You actually have such a good idea. In the future, we can open a bookstore to publish books. If we lower the price of books, we can also make a lot of money.

It can also make more people in the world afford to read! Lin Tiangui said quickly.
