Daming: I asked you to supervise the country, Daming is all crazy?

Chapter 95: Huaixi Great Confucian Enters the Brothel at Night! ! !

The black handwriting, the size of mung beans, is neat and clear, and there is a unique fragrance of ink. Zhu Gaochi likes the smell of this unique smell of writing.

Zhu Gaochi read very seriously, and his face was sometimes pleasantly surprised and sometimes surprised.

Although he had read many of these articles before, reading them again in the form of a newspaper gave him another novel feeling.

Especially some imperial policy articles, as well as people's livelihood, many of which were added by Zhu Zhanji. The whole article is in plain language, but unexpectedly it makes it feel very good to read, especially the punctuation marks of some sentences. , let his eyes shine even more.

Daming also has sentence punctuation, but it is very simple and there are not many types, but the ones used in this newspaper are something he has never seen before.

But after using it, it also made the meaning expressed more clearly, which also made him more and more fascinated as he read it.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't have as many ideas as his own stupid father, punctuation marks and so on, he just copied things from later generations.

This thing is novel in this era but it is not considered a reform, so he naturally doesn't care about it. It is used in newspapers to make the meaning of some words in newspapers clearer.

Otherwise, with the broad and profound Chinese characters, the same sentence is too easy to understand with different meanings. Without these different punctuation marks, otherwise, even if he uses the vernacular, it will be difficult for others to misunderstand the literal meaning. For newspapers, it is obviously not allowed.

You don’t need to analyze the content like a silly father, even punctuation marks. Zhu Zhanji reads newspapers very quickly, almost ten lines at a glance, because he typesets the content himself, so don’t be familiar with it anymore.

His main task is to make sure that there are no mistakes in the layout of the newspaper, and that the printed fonts are clearly legible, so that there will be no blurred and difficult to distinguish handwriting.

Fortunately, the printing technology of this era did not disappoint him. Although he had arranged for the font to be made very small, there was still no problem.

The strokes are clear, the ink is clean, and the layout is very neat. Even a small punctuation mark is very clear.

In this way, half of the success of the newspaper has been achieved, and the remaining half is attributed to the content.

After reading the newspaper, Zhu Zhanji sat aside with a cup of tea, silently waiting for his silly father.

In the printing room, as time went by, newspapers were quickly produced by craftsmen.

Zhu Zhanji also roughly estimated the waiting time. Ten printing stations can print about 1 newspapers in one minute, which means that they can print [-] newspapers in one hour.

In this way, excluding the time for pre-typesetting and screening manuscripts, there are about ten hours left in a day, and almost 20 newspapers can be printed.

In addition, when it is released the next day, it can also be reprinted, that is, it can print almost 40 to [-] copies.

Of course, if this is the case, these craftsmen are definitely not enough, and some more craftsmen must be added to carry out the system of shifts.
But this is not a big problem. For Zhu Zhanji, any problem that can be solved with power and money is not a problem.

And with 40 million newspapers, although the number is still small compared to the population of tens of millions in Yingtianfu, but just as the mouthpiece of the royal family, such a large number is completely no problem for Yingtianfu. .

When Zhu Zhanji was thinking about something, Zhu Gaochi also finished reading the newspaper, nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Son, this newspaper is good, especially these sentence reading symbols. When the newspaper is popularized, it will be imitated by scholars all over the world. With this thing, some books will be easier to read."

"The content is also the same as what you said. The first page of political affairs, officials can read current events, the second page of places, the court can read the people, the third page of people's livelihood, the people can learn about life, the fourth page of articles, Confucianism It can increase literary talent."

"The contents of the four editions, whether it is ordinary people, officials, scholars, or even the emperor, can easily find what they want to read."

While Zhu Gaochi was admiring, he did not forget to ask some questions, pointing to the newspaper in his hand and asking:

"It's just that, how should such a newspaper be priced? You already have a plan in mind? If the price is high, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for the promotion of the newspaper. If it is low, not to mention the cost, but it will inevitably suffer. to contempt."

While drinking tea, Zhu Zhanji listened to Zhu Gaochi's praise with some amusement. When Zhu Gaochi asked about the pricing, Zhu Zhanji shook his head without hesitation and said:

"No charge, free supply."

"this………"

Hearing his son's words, Zhu Gaochi was slightly taken aback, and then he disagreed: "Son, it is true that more people can see it for free, but if there is no charge, wouldn't it be contemptible?"

"Father, if I don't charge money, it doesn't mean that the newspaper seller doesn't charge money, right?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled and explained: "Newspapers can't be sold too expensive. If they are too expensive, some literate people will look down on them. I think a newspaper with one or two articles is just right, even if it is an ordinary newspaper. People can also afford it.”

"At that time, I will specially find some poor families to sell newspapers. The money will be regarded as these people's wages for selling newspapers. As for the selling price, they will be looked down upon. I don't think this kind of people don't read newspapers. Just a fool."

Zhu Gaochi nodded thoughtfully upon hearing the words.

He felt that other things were secondary. It was a good idea for his son to think of using newspapers to get some interest for the poor.

Zhu Zhanji saw that the silly father was persuaded, so he changed the subject and said: "Father, I have arranged all these things. Just rest assured tomorrow morning, the newspaper will definitely spread all over the streets and alleys, but otherwise, I will There are still two small things that need to be troubled by you!"

"what's up?"

Zhu Gaochi immediately became a little vigilant when he heard the words. Two days ago, Zhu Zhanji asked him to go to the homes of those relatives to buy land, and he had already given up his old face.

Now his son has something else to do, and there are still two. His first thought was to refuse, but he couldn't help being curious, so he subconsciously asked.

Zhu Zhanji ignored his stupid father's so many careful thoughts, and explained after a pause: "The two things are also about the newspaper. The first thing is that I plan to promote the newspaper to all parts of the country. The government will set up a newspaper branch, and the newspaper established here in Yingtian is the head office, and the branch is only responsible for receiving contributions from various places, as well as printing and distribution."

"All the manuscripts received by the branch office are transported to the head office, and the head office is responsible for typesetting. After the typesetting is completed, the newspaper samples that pass the inspection are quickly sent to the branch office for printing and distribution."

Daming Daily, when Zhu Zhanji named it, he decided to publish it daily nationwide. Although newspapers in other places, except Yingtian, will definitely not be able to keep up with the time, at least one or two days at night, and even more Maybe half a month and a month at night.

But from the perspective of this era, the impact of these times will not be great. After all, news transmission in this era is slow, even if the government orders are issued, it will take time.

A few days in the evening, the newspaper is nothing more than slower than Yingtian or the place next to Yingtian.

However, it may not be slower than the court's decree to spread to these places. In this way, it will naturally not affect the publicity of the court's decree.

Unless he gets out the telegram in the future, of course, with the telegram, the newspaper will naturally convey it faster. This is news synchronization.

"It's a good thing to open a branch. In this way, more people will definitely read the newspaper."

When Zhu Gaochi heard about the establishment of the newspaper branch, he nodded and praised first, and then asked curiously: "However, what do you want me to do about this matter?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled, broke his fingers and said, "Hey, dad, don't you see that my son has no one in his hands, so I need you to help find some reliable talents to take charge of the construction of the newspaper branch To do this, each branch must have at least one editor-in-chief and two editor-in-chiefs, the requirements for editor-in-chiefs can be lower, and you can choose local ones, but the editor-in-chief of each branch must be extremely reliable!"

"Well, this is no problem!"

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he immediately agreed. After all, he has supervised the country for so many years, and he still has many reliable talents under his command.

In particular, some people were kicked out of court directly by Lao Zhu because of him. Now is the time when their talents are not being met, and the newspaper office is considered an elegant thing, and it is not a shame for these people.

After agreeing, Zhu Gaochi still didn't relax his vigilance, looked at Zhu Zhanji and asked, "Is there one more thing?"

Seeing that the silly father agreed, Zhu Zhanji smiled even more: "The last word is that I plan to open a military newspaper and an entertainment newspaper besides the People's Daily."

"Military newspaper? Entertainment newspaper?"

Zhu Gaochi was a little confused when he heard the words.

I haven't fully figured out the People's Daily yet, so is it possible that my son is going to create two newspapers now?

And what kind of military newspaper, entertainment newspaper?

Combined with People's Daily.

He can barely understand the military newspaper.

As for the military, it must have something to do with the military, and the things reported must also be military.

But what the hell is this entertainment?

Fighting cock and walking the dog?

Or a gambling game?

Can these entertainment things also be published in newspapers?

Or the royal to report?
Zhu Gaochi felt that his son was a little confused?

"Military News naturally reports on the military. It can also be called the Military Monthly. It is published once a month. Grandpa is on the Northern Expedition, so I plan to invite you to find some courageous scholars to go to the army and record Grandpa's crusade against Maha. Mu's various military operations, as well as what he saw and heard in the army or when the two armies were at war, let grandpa personally select some things that can be reported, and then pass them back through the post office. After review, they will be publicized to inspire People's hearts."

Zhu Zhanji didn't know that his stupid father would think of gambling and cockfighting and walking the dog when he heard entertainment newspapers. Seeing that his stupid father didn't understand, he explained.

Hearing the military report, Zhu Gaochi nodded, this thing was not different from what he understood.

Just like the good news in previous wars, every time there is a good news, no matter whether it is a scholar or the people of the court, it will have an exciting effect.

It used to rely on word of mouth, but now it is more convenient to change to newspapers, so it is not a big problem.

But he didn't pay attention to this. After roughly understanding the content of the military newspaper, he asked:

"What about the Entertainment News?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Entertainment newspaper is a kind of entertainment for the people after dinner. It is not named as a royal newspaper, but it is only a non-governmental organization that is allowed by the imperial court to publish newspapers. The publication is also published every seven days." , Seven days are counted as a cycle, which can be called entertainment weekly.”

"The main content of the report is some customs and customs of Ming Dynasty, as well as some famous sayings and events of famous people. Of course, it can also be some romantic affairs of some talented scholars and beautiful women. The scale can be relaxed and the content can be more flexible. You don't have to stick to the rules."

"Of course, even so, we must ensure that these things are true and effective. It's like a certain Huaixi scholar entering a brothel at night. We can't catch wind of this kind of thing. We have to be bumped into by someone in the brothel."

"You child, don't you have a bad reputation..."

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, while Zhu Gaochi was relieved, he was also a little speechless.

What is Huaixi Great Confucianism Entering the Brothel at Night?

Shandong Confucianism?
cough cough...

This kid didn't remember other great scholars, but he remembered the Huaixi great scholars at the Wenhui that he mentioned a few days ago?
This thing has been reported, and those great Confucian scholars should be impatient?
But thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt that this thing seemed so interesting.

As soon as this thing comes out, those guys who are usually an upright gentleman but secretly steal and prostitute, probably have to think twice about what they do behind their backs, right?

Moreover, this so-called Entertainment Weekly does not belong to the imperial court or the royal family, but to a civil organization in name. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with the imperial court and the royal family!
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help showing a little smile on his chubby old face, and whispered to himself:

"It's good not to be in the name of the royal family, and these people who read the books of sages should be put on chains, so as not to tarnish the sages!"
