Chapter 247 Baozhu, you have tricked your own father.
"Why are you begging me? If you really want to thank me, just do it well. Now that you've done it, are you two still afraid that you won't be famous forever?" Baozhu said with a smile.
He raised his hand to hold his hands up: "Actually, I have some selfish motives in founding the Times, not just for the people."
Mr. Sun and others are not stupid people. They had guessed a little bit just now when Baozhu mentioned it.
"I want gentlemen to intersperse some complimentary remarks about my father from time to time, so that my father's name can be spread throughout the country."
Orb bared its teeth, revealing a cunning light.
Her father was reluctantly pushed up and held up. This position was not easy to sit in, and he could not think of retreating.
A knife must be placed on his neck. Once this person reaches a desperate situation, he will definitely do something amazing.
Anyway, if he doesn't want to sit on that dragon chair when the time comes, it's not impossible for her to sit on it.
Far away in Yongzhou City, Jiang Yingxiong, who had just beaten King Kang away, sneezed. He has been having a bad year recently!
Out of nowhere, he became the king of the uprising. Even his name was given to him by Jiang Mubai.
What is it called Yingtian?!
What does it mean to follow the trend of nature?
Good guy, he was even a little suspicious. He was being led by others along the way.
Now that I think about it, my head feels dizzy. He is obviously Jiang Tieniu from Jiangjia Village, and by mistake step by step, he became the current King Yingtian who is revolting.
"Master, it's getting cold. Wear more clothes to avoid catching the cold."
General Yun walked in from outside the tent, with a few snowflakes still lying on his armor.
There was a charcoal fire burning in the tent, and the snowflakes on my shoulders suddenly melted.
He felt very uncomfortable with the new title of General Yun: "Brother Yun, please stop calling me that. Just call me brother as before. It sounds cordial."
"How can this be done? Military Advisor Jiang said that you are our lord now and cannot be the same as before." General Yun shook his head.
It's that kid Jiang Mubai again. Jiang Yingxiong gets angry whenever Jiang Mubai is mentioned. He was the one who first suggested that he should be the lord.
As a result, every time he asks General Yun and the others for a drink, these people avoid him, which makes him boring.
"Don't mention that bad thing, our friendship, do you still need to pay attention to this?" Jiang Yingxiong was so angry that he sulked o( ̄ヘ ̄o#): "It's just the two of us here, no one knows. You shout
When I say "Brother Jiang", I feel comfortable."
General Yun was very moved and his eyes turned red: "Brother Jiang!"
"e=(′o`*)))" Jiang Yingxiong felt happy, but when he saw his eyes turning red, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He just asked him to call him "Brother Jiang" and he started crying.
When he thought of what Baozhu did far away in Chaoyuan County, he felt powerless.
Baozhu, Baozhu, you have tricked your own father.
…
"Little master, look, this is the first edition of our Times. What else do you need to add?"
After Mr. Sun and his two men gathered some elites in the city to launch the Times, in just three days, the first page of the Times finally came out.
Mr. Sun offered it with both hands and stared at the orb excitedly, hoping to get her approval.
Bao Zhu took a closer look. She had only made a few comments in the past three days, but she didn't expect it to come out so quickly.
Among them, the news that Jiang Yingxiong was forced to set up his own business, the death of King Yu and King Yue, and the news that King Kang abandoned the city and fled accounted for most of them.
The remaining sections are about news about a new academy in Chaoyuan County and free admission for poor people.
Another thing is that an acre can produce a thousand kilograms of grain.
"Well, it's not bad, but... I think it can be better." Bao Zhu looked at it and had to say that Mr. Sun was extremely fast and very efficient.
To be able to do this in just three days already shows his ability to withstand a beating.
It could be better, but it just doesn't work.
Mr. Sun looked like he was listening attentively, and Baozhu thought for a while: "These contents are all good, and they can allow the people and scholars all over the world to see the prosperous side of Chaoyuan County, but... we are not planning to hold this kind of newspaper just once, but
From now on, it will be issued every half month. Mr. Sun has never thought about the issue of funding?"
They really didn't expect this.
"Please give me some advice, young master."
They put all their efforts into the Times these days, and of course they don’t want the Times to disappear so quickly like a flash in the pan.
"Since you asked me, let me ask you, how many people are there in The Times now? How much are they paid?"
reward?
They have never thought about the issue of remuneration. As soon as they heard about the benefits of the Times, their minds were filled with the idea of becoming famous and having a lasting name. How could they think of remuneration?
Now that Bao Zhu asked this question, Mr. Sun blushed immediately.
Weakly asked: "Isn't the little master paying for this?"
Baozhu rolled his eyes and spread his hands: "Now that military spending is tight, where will I get the spare money?"
Mr. Sun took a deep breath. They had to pay for their love out of their own pockets.
This is not very realistic!
It's okay if they get one issue, but they will starve to death if they get a few more.
There are elderly and children at home to support.
If things go on like this, their enthusiasm will be exhausted. They can't work hungry, right?
"What...what should I do?"
They were unwilling to accept that this issue was the only one, and all of them stared at the orb with burning eyes.
Baozhu was really helpless under their gaze, so he could only rub his eyebrows and sigh.
"So many of you have worked so hard for this piece of paper, you can't give it away in vain, right?"
As soon as the words came out, they felt insulted.
They work hard, of course they know, but... they are not businessmen, how can they use businessmen's methods...
Reading their thoughts from each of their faces, Bao Zhu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"You asked me to come up with the idea, so you have to listen to what I have to say, right?"
Mr. Sun behaved very calmly, not as aggressively as they did.
He absolutely didn't believe it. Baozhu only saw profit, otherwise he wouldn't have proposed founding a newspaper or building a school.
"This newspaper is your hard work, so naturally it cannot be given away to others for free. Besides... you think that if you give it to the people for free, other businessmen will not pursue profits?"
Baozhu asked rhetorically.
Everyone at the Times lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.
They all understand that businessmen pursue profit.
As soon as the Times comes out, there will definitely be businessmen who smell the smell of copper. When the time comes...of course they are not willing to use the Times that they have worked so hard to print to make money from the people.
"So, this money is earned by those unscrupulous businessmen, why can't you earn it yourself? And...the money earned can also be used to pay for the next issue and support the people in the Times."
Baozhu spread his hands: "When the Times comes out, it will definitely be published in more than just one place in our Chaoyuan County. Those businessmen will definitely ask the Times to make more copies. By then, the Times will be able to go out of Chaoyuan County and even the entire Daliang."
At this point, she could clearly see the burning fire in Mr. Sun's eyes.
See, businessmen are looking for profit.
What do literati love to do most? Of course, being famous.
Thinking that the Times is read by people all over the world, doesn’t it mean that your articles are recognized by people all over the world?
For the sake of fame, of course they spare no effort in creation.
"So, we have to set a price for the Times."
"How much do you think the price should be, young master?" Mr. Sun felt that their newspaper was priceless, but Baozhu proposed a price and used the money from the sale to prepare for the next issue. He has now accepted it in his heart.
"Just a penny so that the people won't look down upon you."
It's just a penny, as long as the people can't afford to eat, they can afford it.
Moreover... looking at the whole of Daliang, very few people are literate.
In the beginning, most of the people buying it were students.
"Very good!" Mr. Sun nodded immediately, feeling that the price of the pearl was too affordable.
"But if we only accept one article, will we not be able to continue creating the next issue?" asked a young scholar in the crowd.
"No, how many scholars are there in Chaoyuan County? How many scholars are there in the world? As long as they are literate, they will be willing to spend a penny to buy a penny. After all, it is only a penny. If you can't buy it, you can't suffer a loss, and you can't be cheated, right?"
Bao Zhu shook his head, feeling that he was worried.
Mr. Sun has already thought of the meaning of the pearl: "There are more than 300 students in Chaoyuan County, and each person has three hundred coins."
Chapter completed!
