Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 74 Daming Daily
  Early this morning.

On the streets of Yingtian, there were suddenly more than ten people. They were holding a stack of papers in their hands, which were densely printed with handwriting. They were the newspapers that Zhu Xuan wanted to publish.

Zhu Song learned Zhu Xuan's marketing methods. The first batch of newspapers he tried to publish were not for sale.

Because no one was willing to spend money to buy this mere piece of paper, the first batch of newspapers, 30,000 copies printed, were all given out for free.

Give it to those who usually read storybooks, or come to the Imperial College and give it to the students.

This group of people will be the consumer group of newspapers in the future, and their target positioning is very clear from the beginning.

I saw this kind of newspaper that I didn’t know what it was, and it was being delivered for free. It was easy to attract people’s attention because it was free of charge. The person in charge of delivering the newspaper quickly delivered dozens of copies.

Those who got the newspaper lifted it up and read it with interest.

"Daming Daily?"

Many people have heard of what Di Bao is.

This Daming Daily is almost like the Di Daily, and they can understand it.

Since it is free, the recipients are still very interested. After reading the above content, the first thing they see is the anecdotes and people's livelihood events that have happened in Yingtianfu in the past few days.

"Tax and salary reform?"

Some people's eyes passed over the people's livelihood events and landed on the column of current affairs.

There is also a special section in the newspaper for publishing current political content. For example, the two most popular reforms are published in the first batch of newspapers.

These are exactly what Zhu Song said. In the Imperial College, he found several part-time supervisors and asked them to write an article commenting on current affairs based on the current reforms.

Of course, the content of the article can only be politically correct and cannot be written randomly.

After you finish writing, you have to go through review to make sure there are no problems before you can publish it. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome. Once inappropriate content appears, it will make many people lose their heads.

In addition to these current affairs articles and people's livelihood news, there are also part-time Imperial College students who have written the content in relatively simple language to make reading more relaxed.

"This Tomorrow Daily is a bit interesting."

"Who came up with this? It looks pretty good."

"There is a line of small words at the top, printed by Daming Publishing House. What is the publishing house?"

Some people got the newspapers and sat in groups, discussing the contents.

"Look, this is "Dragon Movie"."

Someone finished reading the first page and turned the newspaper over, only to see that the second page was full of storybook content.

Others listened and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was the most popular "Dragon Movie" at present. How could it appear in this Daming Daily?
  "In order to resist piracy, starting from the sixth volume, the content of the story will be serialized in newspapers first. After one volume is serialized, it will be printed into volumes and sold separately."

Someone read out a line of small characters at the top of the page.

Looking at this story again, it is in line with the fifth volume.

It’s really the content of Book Six.

If I want to read novels in the future, wouldn’t it be possible to read them only through Daming Daily?

"Show me now."

A few people who didn't have newspapers rushed to grab other people's newspapers.

They had been reading the fifth volume for a long time, and finally got excited when they finally got to the sixth volume.

However, there is only a limit to how much content can be serialized in the sixth volume on one page. They finished reading it quickly, and there was still suspense at the end, which made them unable to read it in one go and made them feel itchy in their hearts.

"This newspaper is very appetizing."

"It's all the fault of piracy. Starting from the sixth volume, can't we only read one article every day? How long does it take to finish one volume?"

"We'd better go and find out where we can get the Daming Daily in the future."

These people were talking a lot.

Although I couldn’t read it anymore and would be very unhappy, I was looking forward to what the next article would be like, so I quickly went to find out the source of Daming Daily.

"There is also a section here, Daming Bookstore, which pays a lot of money to recruit storybook authors."

"Once the manuscript is approved and the contract is successfully signed, you will receive a guaranteed manuscript fee of fifty taels per month."

"If the monthly sales exceed fifty taels, you can also get additional rewards..."    Others noticed this recruitment advertisement.

Those Imperial College students who could write storybooks, or had the intention to do so, were quickly attracted by the advertisements.

I seem to have found a way to make money.
  -

Outside the bookstore.

"Da Ming Bookstore?"

Those readers who are waiting for the sixth volume have been waiting for many days. Recently, they often come to the bookstore to wait for it to be released on the shelves.

However, today I arrived and found that the bookstore had changed its name.

They were worried that the people in the bookstore might have changed and they wouldn't even be able to sell the storybooks. Just as they were thinking about what to do, the owner of the bookstore, Yin Chengwen, had two signs moved out.

The first sign is about serialization.

The second sign is an announcement to recruit authors.

Most of the readers who came to wait for the sixth volume, their eyes first fell on the first sign, which immediately caused a sensation.

Why is it that the content of the story in the future will no longer be printed in books, but will be serialized in newspapers first? This has disrupted the plans of many people, especially those scalpers.

"Where can I get the newspaper?"

Someone asked immediately.

This is the real reader.

"Our first batch of newspapers will be delivered for free for the time being!"

Yin Chengwen waved his hand.

Those guys, bring out 20,000 newspapers.

When they heard that it was free, the readers immediately became excited and rushed to get it. However, after reading the entire content, the stuck point at the end happened to be a suspenseful place, and they were eager to know what to write next.

My heart suddenly felt like a cat scratching my head.

"That's all?"

"Shopkeeper, we haven't seen enough!"

"Can you give us all the subsequent parts?"

The readers were unhappy and started to protest outside the bookstore.

Yin Chengwen snorted coldly: "You bought the pirated copies of the first five volumes and you were so happy. Have you ever considered how hard we, the gentlemen who wrote the books, worked but still got no reward in the end? This will always be the case in the future. You want to Blame it, just blame it on piracy.”

As soon as these words came out, many people present who had bought pirated copies lowered their heads in shame.

Yin Chengwen's words expressed the bookstore's helpless behavior.

You can even win sympathy.

The person who was wronged became the reader present.

"If you want to read the rest, please wait for our Daming Daily tomorrow." After Yin Chengwen finished speaking, he went back directly.

Let a few guys be responsible for delivering newspapers.

Newspaper stories spread quickly throughout the city.

After hearing the news, more and more people came to the bookstore. All the 20,000 copies here were given away in the blink of an eye.

The other 10,000 copies were delivered by the dozen or so people, and they were all quickly given away.

Just when readers were complaining about piracy, not enough newspapers, and not enjoying reading enough, someone finally noticed the announcement of recruiting authors.

Some Imperial College students' eyes lit up when they saw the monthly guarantee of fifty taels.

Yang Shiqi was also an Imperial College student. He had no interest in those story books at first. He thought that things for entertainment would only make people lose their ambitions and lose their ideals, so they were not worth mentioning.

But today, he happened to pass by the Ming Dynasty Bookstore.

He also happened to see the fifty-tael guaranteed reward. He couldn't help but touch the dozens of copper coins left in his purse, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
