Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

On this day, Li You was not idle, and was frequently interspersed with many good civil servants and generals.

"Hey old iron, do you have a manuscript?"

Such nonsense conversations have also happened many times.

And because of the movable type printing technology, the typesetting and printing of characters are extremely fast, so just the next day, the first issue of Datang Daily was freshly released!

With the joint efforts of Li's Bookstore and Qinghe Bookstore, Datang Daily quickly spread all over the country.

"Datang Daily? What is this."?"

The people passing by saw the Datang Daily filled with the gates of the major bookstores, and stopped to watch it curiously.

Because Li You has come up with countless new things in the past six months, and they are all very useful and good things, so today's people in the Tang Dynasty have a high ability to accept new things.

"This Datang Daily, it's incredible!"

As soon as someone came to ask questions, the clerks of the major bookstores immediately came to the spirit and introduced them with great interest.

"It's amazing?" Someone asked immediately, "What else can this thing be amazing about?"

"Everyone, don't worry, just listen to me one by one."

The clerk smiled mysteriously and said, "This Datang Daily is edited by His Royal Highness the King of Chu! And it has gathered the works of various famous officials and generals. It is extremely luxurious!"

"Is it true or false? Could it be that many big figures in the DPRK wrote something on it?"

This sentence immediately made many people exclaimed. In the past, if you bought a book by yourself, you could only get the works of one famous artist.

However, if it is so luxurious, I am afraid the price will be very expensive, right?

"It's absolutely true!" the clerk laughed, "and the most amazing thing is that this Datang Daily only sells for 2 cents!"

"what?!"

"It's so cheap!"

"Doesn't it mean that people who publish newspapers don't have to make money at all?"

It's no wonder that the common people have put on incredible faces. After all, you can get the works of famous artists for only 2 pennies. This is too valuable, right? !

Thinking of this, a scholar soon questioned: "If it's so cheap, wouldn't the famous works in it be old works that have been published in the past?"

"Of course not." The clerk shook his head and said, "What I'm going to talk about next is the focus of this Datang Daily, and by the way, I can explain what a daily newspaper is."

"This Datang Daily means a newspaper that will be published every day! That is to say, the content on it is not only an old work, but also the latest new work!"

Before the clerk could finish speaking, the scholar said in disbelief, "What are you kidding? If a new book is published every day, no matter how talented people are, they will be squeezed out!"

The clerk said: "This kind of thing will not happen. Please listen to me patiently. Why can they write new manuscripts every day? Because what they write is not poetry, but commentary articles based on current events!"

At present, the establishment of Li's newspaper is still short, so Li You has not been able to train enough professional reporters, so Li You had to find those civil servants and generals to temporarily replace them.

Yesterday, Li You asked them to write specific introductions and thoughts on various issues of Datang, that is, a simple version of current affairs comments, which is why they were able to hand over the manuscript so quickly.

And to write down these nerve-racking state affairs and show them to the public is a brand new experience for everyone.

Not only is it interesting, but it can also vent the backlog of emotions, and it can also allow ordinary people to see their efforts and build their own reputation, so everyone writes with great enthusiasm!

Of course, there is also Li You's marketing purpose. After all, if you know that it is the work of the famous civil servants and military generals in the imperial court (money is good), then the common people will definitely buy a copy out of curiosity. .

A newspaper is only 2 cents, so you can't buy it at a disadvantage, and you can't be fooled.

In the later stage, the quality and system of reporters gradually improve, and they will become special column writers. They may write commentary on current affairs every once in a while and express relevant opinions.

After all, these people are also the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible to have so much time to write manuscripts every day.

After listening to the clerk's introduction, the scholar asked suspiciously: "...that means... I can easily see what's happening across the country on this Datang Daily?"

"That's it!" The clerk smiled, "That's how you know what's going on in the world without leaving your home! Every day, the freshest news from all over the country is gathered in Datang Daily... This is news!"

Chapter 484

"News news, the latest news every day..."

On the bustling streets of Chang'an, a scholar muttered to himself while looking at the newly bought Datang Daily.

There were still some signs of bruising on his face, as if he had just had a fight not long ago.

Obviously, he was the one who quarreled with the big man who slandered Li You in the restaurant before, and finally became the scholar who fought!

The scholar's name is Liang Qi, and he is also the one who asked the clerk at the door of the bookstore before.

It can be said that the clerk's remarks aroused Liang Qi's great curiosity, and 2 cents was not a lot for him, so he immediately bought a copy of Datang Daily to satisfy his curiosity.

"The Datang Daily edited by His Royal Highness the King of Chu... I hope the content will not disappoint me."

Going to a corner, Liang Qi leaned against the wall and started reading Datang Daily carefully.

The first thing that catches the eye is the four big characters of "Datang Daily", which are extremely pleasing to the eye, and there is no doubt that they are famous masterpieces.

"This level of calligraphy... I'm afraid not only His Royal Highness 060 of the King of Chu can have it!"

Not to mention anything else, just being able to buy these four big characters for 2 cents makes Liang Qi feel worth it.

"There is a date next to it. It seems that you really plan to release it once a day?"

This made Liang Qi feel a little emotional. He knew that if there was no movable type printing technique of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, then in the past, when we could only rely on engraving printing, he would never be able to support such a luxurious move.
