Chapter 772 Everything Is Ready
During the harvest season, Xinmin County is more lively than ever.
Doing business, reading, hanging out...
Everyone gathers in Xinmin County, which makes Xinmin County exude a vitality that is different from any place in Dazhou.
At the gate of Wenqing Bookstore, the staff hung a large poster on the outer wall.
There are only three days left before the release of the first issue of "Big Week Life Show"!
Huge fonts and fancy typography attract the attention of passers-by.
A scholar asked the buddy, "What is "Da Zhou Life Show"?"
"It's a life show! It is dedicated to writing articles about the lives of the people in the capital."
"What's the point of this?"
"I'll know in three days if it's worth seeing. It's cheap, and it costs two cents a piece. Everyone will come to cheer for it then!"
"It's really so cheap? You Wenqing Bookstore has never done such a cheap business."
"Wenqing Bookstore is not going to close down, and you can afford a two-cent business?"
"Whoever said that Wenqing Bookstore looks down on business worth two cents is absolutely slander and slander. Our Wenqing Bookstore has always been high in quality and low in price."
Nonsence!
A hardcover book will cost two taels or even three taels of silver.
A set of collector's edition is directly sold for ten taels and twenty taels of silver, so you have the nerve to say that it is high quality and cheap?
How big is the face?
The clerk smiled, "Our Wenqing Bookstore has always been innocent. What can two pennies do now? Now a bowl of hot and spicy soup costs five pennies, and a meal of miscellaneous grains costs six pennies. But our "Da Zhou" "Life Show" only costs two pennies, just two pennies. After three days, you can buy a copy of "Da Zhou Life Show" anywhere, and take a look at the contents, I promise you won't be disappointed."
"This is what you said. If we are not satisfied, we will ask you to pay."
"Just come to me. Although I am a fellow, I can still afford to pay two cents."
cut!
Everyone booed him.
Just pay two pennies, what a big face.
...
Xinmin County Junior School,
In the two classrooms, serious and lively training is going on.
In a classroom, there are dozens of children in their teens. Mostly boys, a few girls.
After systematic training, they will become temporary newspaper boys hired by Wenqing Bookstore.
On the podium, the teacher is teaching them to speak Guankou, and also simulates the scene.
They are all children from poor families, and they study very hard.
The biggest problem is that they are not very courageous.
Mischievous may have.
But on the street, basically dare not speak loudly, a little timid.
Now, the most important thing is to improve the self-confidence of these children. On the street, he can shout out his mouth loudly and sell newspapers.
Only the last three days are left, and the task is heavy.
Another classroom, less crowded.
There are only ten or twenty people.
All are storytellers.
They accepted the employment of Wenqing Bookstore, and in the future they will talk about the publishing stories of Wenqing Bookstore in major teahouses and restaurants, and talk about "Da Zhou Life Show".
Wenqing Bookstore will also cooperate with major teahouses and restaurants to sell newspapers.
Every time a copy is sold, these storytellers and tea houses and restaurants will receive a commission.
Although the money is small, it can add up to a considerable income.
...
The backyard of Wenqing Bookstore.
Huang Qubing was in a state of desperation, and was finalizing the draft with his staff.
There are only three days left, and "Da Zhou Life Show" will be officially released in three days, but the manuscript has not yet been finalized.
Gu Jiu asked for a magazine to be published every three days.
According to this efficiency, I am afraid that a magazine will not be published in thirty days.
"This manuscript is not good, it's too serious. It should be written humorously, with a mocking tone."
"I asked you to write a special issue of brothels to make the "Da Zhou Life Show" famous. What is this about? Let me tell you, several brothels have given money, so you have to praise me, you know?"
"Young master, how much money the brothel gave you, at least you can tell us the truth. Whoever gave the most money, we will praise him. Guaranteed to praise so much that his mother doesn't even know it."
The boy San was very smooth-talking.
Followed by Huang Qubing's side, he learned all the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Not to mention full of economics, it is easy to write an article.
Moreover, he has a wide network of contacts, and he knows all the servants in charge of the major mansions. Even in the palace there are people he knows.
There are many connections and the news is extremely well-informed.
Huang Qubing was short of people, so he simply named Sanshun and asked him to run the newspaper together.
Huang Qubing decided on a special topic for the first issue, writing about brothels. First attract the attention of a wave of men.
Obviously, men are the main consumers in the market these days.
Rank the brothels, and the sisters of the brothels also rank.
He specifically asked Sanshun to handle this matter.
As a result, the manuscript written by Sanshun made Huang Qubing furious.
Because of the brothel that gave money, Sanshun ridiculed him, from dishes, drinks to decorations, there was nothing he couldn't fault.
Those who didn't give money, instead boasted fiercely.
Sanshun is also very wronged.
The young master secretly collected money from the brothel, and promised to boast without revealing anything in advance.
Huang Qubing picked up his fan and greeted Sanshun on the head, "You are so courageous! Will I embezzle this mere money? All the money given by the brothel has been put into the public account, so I went to the accountant to look through the account book.
"Da Zhou Life Show", I reckon it will be difficult to make money. The newspaper cannot survive without some money from other sources. This is not because "Shanhe Academy Daily" has a wife's subsidy. The "Da Zhou Life Show" we run is self-financed, and we can't transfer funds from the bookstore to subsidize it. "
Sanshun rubbed his head, "Young master is too pessimistic. I think "Da Zhou Life Show" will definitely become a hit."
Huang Qubing sneered, "Just relying on these nonsense manuscripts you wrote?"
"Shiqin and the others can't write better than mine." Sanshun was not convinced.
This "Da Zhou Life Show" needs to win female customers, such as rouge, gouache, clothes, shoes and hats.
Men in this area can't write well, because they don't understand.
So Huang Qubing simply went to the women's school and borrowed Qin Qin and others for use.
As soon as they heard about the newspaper, Shiqin and the others ran over enthusiastically without saying a word.
Then I discovered that this errand was really not done by humans.
He wrote no less than ten manuscripts, all of which were sent back by Huang Qubing.
A few people were so angry that they just wanted to strike.
Huang Qubing is also in a state of desperation, so far, there are not many manuscripts that can be used.
There are still three days left, the draft has not yet been finalized, and the news has already been released, do you want to slap yourself?
Thinking of being slapped in the face, Huang Qubing felt his face burn.
"You continue to revise the manuscript, and I will find someone."
Huang Qubing swept away all the manuscripts, left the backyard of Wenqing Bookstore, and headed for Shanhe Academy.
He thought of a person, Cui Qi, the lunatic.
Cui Qi, the youngest son of Zhen Guohou, is currently teaching at Shanhe Academy, teaching piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and poetry.
It is said that Cui Qi is like a fish in water in the academy, and he can't think of Shu very much.
I just watched him go up the mountain, but didn't see him go down the mountain.
He didn't go home, and his wife and children didn't care. I just stay in the academy all day long.
Huang Qubing is also a dandy, the same as the big dandy Cui Qishu.
It's just that Huang Qubing, a dude, is not so competent. The piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and Fu are all so-so, and the appreciation of antiques is even better.
Compared to Cui Qi, he is far inferior.
"Da Zhou Life Show" is about eating, drinking and having fun.
Cui Qi is an expert in this area! If you don't look for him, look for someone.
Huang Qubing excitedly rushed up the mountain, entered the academy, asked around, and finally found Cui Qi.
"Cui Qi, no matter what this time, you must help me. I'm counting on you. If you don't help me, I can only jump off Yuxiu Mountain."
Those who hear it are sad, and those who see it cry.
Huang Qubing complained and played tricks, and finally moved Cui Qi by all kinds of means.
Huang Qubing turned his back and stuck out his tongue. Damn, it's more tiring than coaxing his mother to kiss adults.
Cui Qi picked up a pen to write the manuscript.
Huang Qubing stood by his side.
The maid Ah Qing took two manuscripts and found Huang Qubing.
"My wife asked the servants to give it to the young master. If the young master thinks these two manuscripts can be used, he can use them. Remember to pay the finishing fee afterwards."
Huang Qubing complained while flipping through the manuscript, "Your wife is not short of this money, and she even asked me for a finishing fee. Go back and tell her, you can't be too stingy."
"My wife is not short of money, but my servant is short of money!" Ah Qing said with a smile.
Huang Qubing was surprised, "You wrote this manuscript?"
"The idea given by the madam, the first draft written by the servant, and the madam helped to polish it. Do you think it can be used?"
"It can be used, it will definitely work. Especially this article about Princess Huyang is very good. Did Princess Huyang agree? Don't wait for me to publish it, Huyang will kill me in a blink of an eye."
The servant girl Ah Qing giggled and said, "My lord, don't worry. Princess Huyang was very happy when she heard that she was going to write an article for her and publish it. She also specially sent her eldest servant girl here. Most of the above content is dictated by the big maid next to the princess."
When Huang Qubing heard it, his heart really fell into place.
"Go back and tell your wife that Huyang's manuscript will be used in the first issue, the headline on the front page."
"My servant heard that you will be doing a brothel feature in the first issue?"
"The brothel is on the second page. If you are a girl, what about brothels? It's not good."
Ah Qing pursed her lips and smiled, "My lord, please be busy, the servant has to go back and report to her."
"Tell your wife, let her rest assured, I will definitely start the "Da Zhou Life Show"."
"My wife said that it doesn't matter if you lose a little money at the beginning. Let the young master let go and do it. With the status of the young master, no one will dare to embarrass you."
He said this as if his background was awesome.
Although his background is indeed very powerful, Princess Fuya is his mother, and the emperor is his father-in-law, but he is also afraid!
He was afraid of being torn apart.
Like his mother, like Huyang...
Hey, hey, I'm really scared!
