Chapter 53： Stuck at step 1

"Master, I bought something for you." Ji Zhong took out a small stack of brochures and handed it to Chen Luo. Chen Luo took it. It was the "Wenbao" introduced by the groom earlier.

Chen Luo carefully flipped through the newspaper. It looked like fifteen or sixteen pages. There were a lot of poems recorded in it, which were divided into categories. There are advanced poems written by Confucian scholars who have been promoted to the "Poetry Realm", and there are also appreciation and analysis of the poems of other famous scholars.

After turning over the chapters of the poems, the following are some of the master's comments on some scriptures. These people have not yet reached the level of "writing books and making speeches", and they can only express some of their own views on certain classics, and the space is not long.

The last part is actually a ranking list. The top 100 scholars and the top 100 masters are selected for ranking. I don't know what the ranking is based on.

"The Confucian scholar is called the talent list. It is ranked according to the strength of the Confucian scholar's talent." Ji Zhong explained. "Master is called the Shanhai Bang, and it is ranked according to the amount of feedback from the Heavenly Dao in Shushan Xuehai."

Chen Luo looked at Ji Zhong: "I don't have your name!"

Ji Zhong: (╬◣д◢)

Ji Zhong: I will go up one day sooner or later.

Chen Luo: Then hurry up, you have become a poetic realm, and then you will have to compete on the mountain and sea list.

Ji Zhong: (▼へ▼メ)

Chen Luo smiled, and then said the business: "Are there many similar papers?"

Ji Zhong was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "How could there be so many? Only Wenchang Pavilion has the confidence to collect poetry from all over the world, and it can guarantee that every issue will be explained by scriptures. There are some literary institutes in the local area that will do similar things, but It's all localized."

"In addition to the text newspapers, there are also mansion newspapers in this form, which record some court decisions and major events in the world. Every day at the post station, you can buy the mansion newspapers issued the day before."

"In the end, it's the kind of grass newspaper you showed me, sir. Like the weeds, that kind of stuff exists everywhere. It's all vulgar content, and it's just a little bit of silver tael from the information published by the merchants."

Ji Zhong told Chen Luo everything he knew in one breath, Chen Luo nodded slightly, and the truth was exactly what he thought.

In view of the fact that the way of heaven in this world is in the player's simulator, in fact, the whole world is in a state of "doing nothing but reading only the books of sages".

Apart from brothel casinos, there is no entertainment.

Apart from street news, there is no gossip.

Yawen's limitations of the heavenly way even infiltrated into ordinary texts, and there are no fictional legends.

This is really-

Great!

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie..." Chen Luo let out a night-owl-like laughter, so terrifying!

"Young Master?" Ji Zhong thought for a moment that something was possessed by Chen Luo, so he wanted to hit him with a righteousness.

"Xiao Ji!" Chen Luo looked at Ji Zhong with a smile, "You said, the son also goes to run the newspaper, how about it?"

……

Wei Yan offered a cup of fragrant tea: "Teacher, how is the boy's observation?"

The black-faced scholar Song Tuizhi took the fragrant tea and glared at Wei Yan: "What is that kid? If the old man approves him, he is your little uncle, do you have any courtesy!"

Wei Yan's face froze, and he sneered, "Isn't this not there yet?"

Song Tuizhi didn't bother about this topic, and asked, "Marquis Qu Li, do you know who he is? What kind of grievance does he have with Chen Luo?"

Wei Yan thought for a while: "Marquis Qu Li? Former Minister of Rites, Shaoqing Qi Xing, went to the barbarian territory and wanted to link up with the barbarian tribe, but was beheaded by the great barbarian king! The court pursued the title of Marquis Qu Li, and passed it on to the only son Qi Huaiyu, just an idle person. Marquis, why did the teacher mention it?"

"It's after the loyal minister. Today he wants to be unfavorable to Chen Luo! Do the two have grievances?"

Wei Yan frowned and shook his head: "The two have never met. However, Qi Huaiyu has neglected discipline since childhood and is arrogant and domineering."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Qi Huaiyu who is jealous of Chen Luo's "Zhong Kui Biography" and wants to force a point. In his eyes, Chen Luo is just a wild boy from a remote place, without a backstage and no support. It’s so sudden and graceful, it’s easy to handle.”

"There are many children of officials like this in Zhongjing. Maybe there is someone behind Qi Huaiyu, who throws stones to ask for directions!"

Song Tuizhi nodded, stood up and walked out.

"Teacher, where are you going?"

Song Tuizhi: "It's the fault of not raising the godfather. Since my father passed away, it's the grandfather's problem. The old man goes to fight Qi Ke to rest for a while, and let him take good care of his grandson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Tuizhi disappeared in front of Wei Yan's eyes. Wei Yan sighed and continued to make tea for himself.

"My teacher's temper hasn't changed for so many years!"

……

"Running a newspaper?" Ji Zhong looked at Chen Luo with disgust, "Master, why are you doing that stuff?"

Looking at Ji Zhong's expression, Chen Luo thought of the words of the **** Wang Li again.

"The face of the Earl's Palace!"

Chen Luo looked at Ji Zhong angrily: "What kind of newspaper do you think I want to do?"

"Of course it's a draft report!" Ji Zhong replied without thinking, "You can't do the "Wenbao" either..."

"What if I serialized "Swordsman" on it?"

Ji Zhong was stunned and held back for a long time: "Young master, why do you need to spend so much effort, wouldn't it be better to just publish it directly?"

"It's too expensive!" Chen Luo sighed, "Many people can't afford a whole book of Yawen. If you buy it chapter by chapter, everyone can afford it."

"Actually, the main thing is to have a fixed publishing channel. After all, I still have a lot of books." Chen Luo added in his heart.

At this moment, Ji Zhong was moved by Chen Luo's statement. He is not a wealthy family either. With his talent, he cultivated to the realm of poetry, and the hardships along the way are no longer rare The most difficult thing is to ask for books. If books are split and sold separately, it will give many people a choice.

What he didn't know was that in his previous life, for something like martial arts novels, after reading a chapter, there would be no other options.

"Young Master Dude!" Ji Zhong stood up and bowed, "Ji Zhong will definitely follow him with all his strength!"

Chen Luo looked at Ji Zhong in surprise, did he just release his tyranny?

……

"The most important part of running a newspaper is three links." Chen Luo said in a deep voice, "Content, printing, and distribution!"

"For the content, just the serialization of "Swordsman" is not enough, other sections must be opened up!"

"In the case of printing, go to Wei Yan's place to walk around and see if you can pick up a little wool. Bah, can you call it a "scratch" for scholars? This is called resource sharing!"

"The most important thing is the release. It's best to get the official channels in order to spread it out."

"But right now, we can do a pilot from China first. For example... la la la, la la la, I'm a little connoisseur of newspaper sales..."

The classic occupation of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign: Newsboy!

"Things need to be solved one by one! First, think about what else besides the martial arts serialization?"

"Social news? No, it's too labor-intensive."

"Submission from readers? Forget it, where is the editor!"

"Ask someone to open a column? Well, I can't afford to pay for it!"

"Is it also the content in the draft newspaper? No, no, the face of the Earl's Palace!"

"Poetry... I'm tired of fighting for the market with newspapers."

Chen Luo never imagined that the plan was very full, and the reality was very skinny. From the very beginning, his plan for running a newspaper was stuck on the content of the page...

"Apart from the martial arts series, what else can I write about?"
