the next day.

The sunrise in the east dispels the haze in the sky, the sky gradually becomes brighter, and a new day begins again.

The citizens of the city opened their doors and walked out, the street vendors also set up their stalls on the streets, and the shops on both sides of the streets also quietly opened...

There are more people on the street.

At this time, bursts of gong-beating sounds resounded through the streets. It was a young man who had a small gong hanging in front of him and was beating the gong as he walked.

There was a gray cloth bag hanging beside him, and a roll of gray-white paper was exposed in the bag.

"I'm selling newspapers. I'm selling newspapers. It was exclusively founded by Mr. Kang of Earl's Palace. The first issue of Fuyang tabloid is published for sale!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Another sound of gongs sounded.

"Current news, interesting folk stories...all in Fuyang tabloid, the price is not expensive, you can buy a copy for only five copper coins!"

The young man walks through the streets and attracts people's attention wherever he goes.

"Brother, please stop!" An elegant-looking scholar wearing a long gown stopped the young man.

"What is that Fuyang tabloid you just shouted about?" the scholar asked.

"Oh? That's what you said!"

The young man stopped, took out a newspaper from his cloth bag, spread it out and said, "This was founded by our Young Master Kang. What is written on it are all the major events that have happened in Yangzhou City recently..."

"You can take a look first, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it!" The young man handed it over.

"Let me take a look and see what tricks this prodigal son has come up with!" The scholar took it and browsed it carefully.

This is a piece of paper about sixteen inches,

It is thicker than usual and has strong hardness. The paper is soft and smooth. Even if this is not the best paper, it is definitely considered superior.

Zhang Song figured it out in an instant. He is a scholar and knows a lot about things like paper and pen.

He was shocked. This piece of paper alone cost more than five copper coins. It really looked like the handiwork of a prodigal.

He looked at the paper again and saw that it was neatly divided into four large sections and several small sections.

Then there is the neat arrangement of fonts.

The fonts are square, vertical, and the same size. Even the spacing of the fonts and the line spacing of each line are the same, which makes people feel very comfortable when looking at it.

Zhang Song took a look with interest and saw four big characters right above the paper, Fuyang Tabloid!

That's why it's called a newspaper, Zhang Song thought to himself.

Looking further, the most eye-catching front page in the upper left corner has a big headline that is easy to see.

"For example, Sun Yuan, a big landowner, robbed a common woman to be his wife for his stupid son. This is a distortion of human nature and a loss of morality!"

Seeing this, Zhang Song was suddenly startled and continued reading.

"A few days ago, outside the great landowner Sun Yuan of Yangzhou City..." The following is an extremely detailed description, which fully reveals what happened. With just one glance, you can tell that this is definitely true.

Zhang Song was shocked. It was not that such a thing had never happened before, but it was the first time that it had been reported about in such a big way.

He continued to look at the people's livelihood-related section, which talked about some daily things happening in the city, and the entertainment and interesting section, which talked about some interesting things.

There are a few small fences on the other side. These are for finding lost items, some are for lost cows, some are for lost chickens, etc.

There is another column in a more eye-catching position in the middle, the advertising column.

It says, Fuyang Women's Shop has recently launched a new style of cheongsam, exclusively endorsed by the oiran Li Qingman. Below it is an advertising slogan.

"Fuyang Women's Shop makes women more beautiful!"

There is also a line of small print that reads, "Fuyang tabloid is now looking for advertising partners, please contact this newspaper if you are interested!"

Novel! Rich! Diverse content!

In an instant, Zhang Song felt like he couldn't put it down. He had just browsed it in general, and he felt that he must buy it and study it carefully.

"Brother, give me one!" Zhang Song said hurriedly to the young man.

"Okay, five copper coins each!"

"Really only five copper coins?" Zhang Song asked.

"Of course, this is the price set by our Master Kang. He said that everyone in the city should be able to afford the newspaper and understand what is happening in the city!" the young man said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Song was stunned. This time the prodigal son had done a good deed. However, the newspaper also published the story of Member Sun, which might cause an uproar...

"Here, here are five copper coins. Take it!" Zhang Song gave the money and left with the newspaper.

At this moment, there were many people watching around, and they all had the same idea as Zhang Song and started talking about it.

"This is a newspaper? There are so many things written in it!"

"I know this, Mr. Sun, and it is true. It is said that Master Kang personally went to the western suburbs to stop him the day before yesterday. I heard that the girl is Master Kang's woman!"

"It's true. My cousin-in-law lives in the western suburbs. He saw it with his own eyes. The matter was very serious. First Mr. Li went there, and later even the Earl also went."

"That member Sun is really not a human being. His stupid son still wants to marry a wife. He is dreaming. This time a prodigal son will punish him. He deserves it!"

People talked about it and paid for it one after another. Five copper coins were still easily available to the citizens living in Yangzhou City.

"This paper is really good. It's definitely worth buying it for five copper coins!"

"Give me one!"

"I want three portions!"

"Old Zhangtou, why did you buy this newspaper? You don't know how to read!"

"I don't know it, but my son does. I asked my son to read it to me!"

Soon more and more people gathered, and everyone was vying to buy it. After a while, the young man's cloth bag was empty.

"Everyone, stop crowding, it's sold out, it's sold out!" The young man wiped his sweat and said hurriedly.

"It's gone. I haven't bought it yet?"

"Yes, print a few more copies!"

"Yes, there is more!" the young man shouted hurriedly, "If you want to buy it, go to Fuyang Tabloid in East Street 2nd Lane and buy it!"

…………

Such a scene happened in every street in Yangzhou City, East Street, South Street, along the Luo River... wherever there are many people, there are newspaper sellers.

This is Wang Kang's arrangement. Newspapers are different from other commodities, and they have just been launched. In this era, people's acceptance is also limited.

You must use this method to quickly attract people's attention and quickly gain fame. The first thing is to let people know.

Today, Wang Kang deliberately woke up early and went to the Fuyang tabloid with Lin Yuyan. He wanted to take charge personally.

Although many arrangements have been made, he is not sure how people will accept it?

Not long after, the guy who had been selling newspapers on the street came back. He was the young man from before. When he saw Wang Kang, his face was full of excitement.

"Master Kang, our Fuyang tabloid is selling like crazy. I brought dozens of copies and they have all been sold out! There are still many people who haven't bought it."

"Yeah," Wang Kang nodded, feeling a little relieved.

The young man was just the first one, and soon the second one, and the third one... all the expatriate guys came back one after another, and the situation was the same as the first young man.

Not long after, some city residents heard about it and came to the Fuyang Tabloid store to buy it in person.

There were more and more people, and the original printed newspapers were no longer enough, so emergency printing was arranged.

In this early morning, the Fuyang newspaper founded by Wang Kang spread throughout the city!
Chapter completed!
