The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 476 Unexpectedly Good (Fifth)

The first issue of Zhenguan Daily came out very smoothly.

When the newspapers were printed, they were shipped out from Shengtang Group and sent directly to various parts of Datang.

The people responsible for the transportation are all the army.

This was requested by Li Yin, and he agreed to print it for free.

So Li Shimin has no reason to refuse to distribute these things, right?
And what he did was his business, not his own.

At the same time, the city of Chang'an was full of newspapers, and a newspaper also attracted the attention of the people in the city.

Because the price is extremely cheap, many people bought a newspaper out of curiosity.

When they saw the content, they were immediately attracted.

Some people even suddenly realized that Chang'an has always had such laws to protect the people.

It turns out that the Holy One has been committed to the reform of Datang, making Datang even stronger!
There are also some content of Confucianism on it, which also attracts many people.

Coupled with the addition of medicine, agriculture, etc., some doctors and farming people feel like treasures.

In the future, this Zhenguan newspaper will be used as a guide book. Someone will frame it and read it every day, studying how to cure diseases and how to farm.

The price of a penny for a newspaper has made Shengtang Group's reputation even louder.

The people in Chang'an City were directly worried about whether Li Yin's Shengtang Group would lose money, so they just stopped doing it?

But after losing such a good newspaper, I am afraid that I will not be able to read such good content in the future.

But their worries are simply unnecessary.

The most distinctive feature of the entire newspaper is the advertisement in the first issue, which is exactly the advertisement and investment promotion of Shengtang Group.

When people saw it, they were all shocked, and some people directly made up their minds.

They knew that those who could hook up with Shengtang Group must be good.

Looking at such a huge circulation, this piece of content must be obtained, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can earn a lot of money.

Even the Wang family and the Li family were a little jealous.

They also came up with the idea of ​​Zhen Guan Bao.

But because Zhenguan News is printed by Li Yin, even if they want to advertise, they can't pass Li Yin's review.

But it failed to stop these people from making trouble.

Having said that, Zhenguan Daily was only sold out in Chang'an in one morning.

This forced Li Yin to print another 20 copies, which was just enough.

Sell ​​short within [-] miles around Chang'an within two days.

Five days later, 500 million newspapers were in short supply, and the gap was huge.

These messages were directly fed back to Li Yin.

This caught him by surprise.

He also made a decision to add another 100 million copies in the next issue.

If it is not enough, add another one million copies.

The Zhenguan newspaper spread throughout the entire Tang Dynasty with lightning speed.

Standing on the highest point, spreading knowledge and political opinions.

And because most people in the Tang Dynasty were uneducated and wanted to read newspapers.

Can only be read by others.

As a result, a new industry was born, the newspaper reader.

Not to mention, the income is also considerable.

These scholars rely on their own cultural level to make money, and they take it for granted.

At the same time, they are also grateful to Li Yin, without him, their income would not increase at all, but with him, everyone's life will be easier, and the entire market is thriving.

Another point is that the illiterate people can also get the knowledge they want. In this way, the whole Tang Dynasty has launched a viewing boom.

The content of the first issue is perfect, and at the same time, it is in the Tai Chi Palace.

Holding the newspaper in his hand, Li Shimin was already trembling a little.

Standing beside him was Empress Changsun, Hou Junji and Kong Yingda.

"This kid actually printed a newspaper and sold 500 million copies! Incredible!"

Li Shimin said quite excitedly.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is right, he did it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, when the newspaper was being produced, the Sixth Prince also helped the old minister, and asked Yan Shigu to join in, correcting some typos and typos, making the Zhenguan newspaper more perfect and spreading more accurately. Without them , I am afraid that the old minister will not be able to quickly complete the content of the Zhenguan newspaper!"

"I fully agree with this point. It's just that the advertisement he mentioned, I think, can he attract business?"

When Li Shimin read the last edition, he had doubts. He felt that Li Yin could not recruit businessmen.

That's it from the beginning.

In fact, failing to attract business is not a good thing for this newspaper.

It can be said to be a big bad thing.

Because if you can’t recruit businessmen, you won’t have money, and without money, newspapers won’t be able to run.

Li Yin is a businessman, it is impossible to generate electricity for love!He needs money.

If he can, he can even help out a little.

But Li Shimin's worries are completely unnecessary.

Li Yin didn't need his help at all.

"Your Majesty, please stop this kind of damage to the country's prestige!"

At this time Hou Junji said, Li Shimin was very upset by his words.

This newspaper has a good start, but this guy asks to stop, isn't that looking for money?
But he still asked patiently: "What do Ai Qing think?"

"Your Majesty, how legitimate is this newspaper? How can it include advertisements? Who can guarantee that the content on it is good? If you don't stop investing in advertisements, this newspaper will damage the court's face."

Hou Junji said righteously.

Li Shimin expressed a little embarrassment.

But Kong Yingda said: "If you say that, Hou Junji, who will pay for the newspaper?"

Hou Junji said: "From the imperial court!"

"Then do you know how much 500 million newspapers cost?"

"I don't know!"

"If the sixth prince hadn't come forward, the cost of a newspaper would be 50 taels! One issue would cost 300 taels of silver! Six issues a month, 600 million taels, [-] million taels a year, the money, the court can afford out?"

Hou Junji was silent. He might not have thought that the cost of this newspaper was so high.

Kong Yingda hasn't finished yet

Then he continued: "The Sixth Prince only sells a newspaper for one penny, so he must eat, right? Should he subsidize the cost of materials? The imperial court took advantage of it, but still swear at people, that's not what we should do!"

Hou Junji didn't respond directly when he said this.

But everyone knows that he still refuses to accept it.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Kong Yingda's performance.

"Okay, that's the end of the matter. I'm afraid that the kid can really persist? If he can, that's the best!"

It seems that Li Shimin is going to take advantage of this bargain.

How do you know that in the future, all the initiative will be in Li Yin's hands.

Hou Junji said nothing more.

And now, the aristocratic family is also discussing some countermeasures, hoping to break Li Yin's situation.

After all, they believed that the newspaper was published by Shengtang Group, and the direction of the wind was entirely in Li Yin's hands.

If things go on like this, they will be very miserable.

At this time, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce gathered in the Wang family again.
