Chapter 85： newspaper

On the 12th, the Di Bao and Min Bao compiled by Wei Ziwen issued their first editions.

The Di Bao published some major events in the Wusong area recently, such as Wu Changqing’s meeting with overseas businessmen, the opening of the Songjiang Commercial District, the first examination of the university hall, and Feng Jian’s arrival in Suzhou with hundreds of craftsmen.

These events revealed a lot of information, such as Wu Changqing's attitude of encouraging business.

In order to support commercial development, Wu Changqing went so far as to blatantly violate the imperial court's ordinances to trade with foreigners. This shows that Wu Changqing attaches importance to commerce, but also allows people to feel his power and power, and can ignore the imperial court.

The first assessment of the University Hall revealed that Wu Changqing attaches great importance to miscellaneous learning. Many officials have been considering whether to let their children learn these miscellaneous subjects from an early age.

As the situation today is complicated, many people don't know what it will look like in the future. If Wu Changqing can occupy Wusong and other places for a long time, then he must learn those miscellaneous studies if he wants to be an official.

However, some officials firmly believed that the imperial court would soon reopen the imperial examinations, and the study of classics was still the king, and it was useless to learn those miscellaneous studies.

Feng Jian brought hundreds of craftsmen to Suzhou, which made many officials once again look at the craftsmen with admiration.

In the past, the gentry had always been dismissive of craftsmen, thinking that they were all untouchables.

But now, they all know that Wu Changqing's victory depends on the weapons made by these craftsmen, and they also know the importance of these craftsmen.

Of course, that's only the case. In the eyes of officials, artisans are still untouchables, and they won't let their children learn this.

The content of these Dibaos is actually not the main point. The main point is that these contents are mixed with a lot of praise for Wu Changqing, and all the credit goes to Wu Changqing.

This caused many officials to report to the residence, and they were very disdainful of Wei Ziwen, thinking that this guy was an out-and-out sycophant.

There is a big difference between Minbao and Dibao. The articles in Minbao are more like storytelling, with a lot of fun, not as serious and standard as the articles on Dibao.

The first article in the Minbao was a fictitious vision of Wu Changqing's birth. The article said that when Wu Changqing was born, the clouds in the sky formed a gorgeous cloud cover, and thunder and lightning were added.

The secret is that Wu Changqing's background is extraordinary and inhumane.

In ancient times, the common people still recognized this set of statements. Many people who intend to rebel will say that when they were born, a hidden dragon entered the mansion and a real dragon appeared, so that the people would think that they were the emperor of the real dragon.

The second article is about real events. It records that Wu Changqing led hundreds of Xiangyong, in order to protect the tens of thousands of people in Jiading, he stood firm in the face of powerful enemies.

Although the incident is real, it has also undergone some artistic processing, making others look like Wu Changqing is much greater.

The whole article is praising Wu Changqing's great deeds and his feelings for the people.

The third article is about an ordinary soldier's story, telling how he fought bravely and **** battles. In the end, he was appreciated by Wu Changqing and awarded the official position of the chief officer.

This is a typical Diaosi counterattack, the story of mortal growth, which is very substituting for the common people.

Some young men are easily moved by this kind of story and want to join the army, trying to change their destiny by virtue of their military merits. A very long monthly salary already has three taels of silver, which is already an absolute high salary for ordinary people.

In this article, there are also many places suggesting that following Wu Changqing can get benefits, and that following Wu Changqing will have a bright future.

This kind of smuggling is invisible to ordinary people, but the publicity effect is very good.

People who listened to this kind of story too often left only Wu Changqing in their minds and didn't know what the imperial court was. Even through some descriptions of the massive surrender of other Ming troops in the article, the common people would lose confidence and sense of identity with the court.

The fourth article praised Wu Changqing’s governance ability. Under Wu Changqing’s governance, the food price in Suzhou was controlled very stably, the price of cloth fell sharply, and there were many more consumer goods on the market, and the society was stable and prosperous.

Compared with the previous Daming and Manchu, life is much better now.

In addition to these articles containing illicit goods, the Minbao also published short stories about poor talents and the private life of the ladies.

These are mainly for attracting scholars and young ladies from large families to read, but in fact, some more leisurely people also like to listen to this kind of story.

Gifted men and beautiful ladies, this kind of story is enduring.

Many interesting articles caused the first edition of Minbao to be immediately loved by ordinary people.

In front of the bulletin board of the market, a large number of listeners can always gather, waiting for the small officials to tell them the story of the people's newspaper.

Even these small newspaper readers once affected the income of the Vasheli storytellers. As more people listened to the people's newspapers, fewer people went to Vasheli to hear about books.

Some storytellers can only shake their heads in frustration in the face of this situation, but those who are also smart, go directly to buy a copy of the Minbao, and then tell the story in the Minbao in Vasheli.

The level of storytelling of the newspaper readers is naturally not comparable to these storytellers. People can eat this bowl of rice. When telling a story, the tone, tone, expression, and action are all very tight-handed.

Compared with the kind of small officials who use textbooks to propagate subjects, it is obviously that the storytellers speak vividly and interestingly. As a result, some of the audiences of Vashes not only did not decrease, but increased a lot, creating a scene of cultural prosperity.

"Both editions are well written."

After reading it, Wu Changqing was very satisfied with Wei Ziwen's article.

"For the teacher, I dare not fail to do my best."

Wei Ziwen was secretly happy.

"These two editions of newspapers should not be cheap."

Wu Changqing asked, paper in this era is already very cheap, but printing is still relatively backward, using movable type printing, which costs more.

"The two editions cost a total of 20 taels of money, and more than 5,000 copies were printed, including 3,500 copies of the People's Daily, and a total of 50 taels of money were sold."

Wei Ziwen reported the situation, and if it came down this way, it would be equivalent to a loss of 15 taels in one period.

Of course, the main reason is that the Di Bao is free, and some public newspapers are also free. These are all for propaganda effect and belong to administrative expenses.

"This newspaper has to be run for a long time. Financial allocation alone will not work. I will show you a way to make money. You can go to the merchants in the city and publish the advertisements of their merchants' products in the people's newspaper, so as to charge their advertising fees. ."

Wu Changqing did not wait for Wei Ziwen to comprehend it, but directly pointed out the most correct development path for the newspaper and published advertisements.

Only by publishing advertisements can there be income, and only with income can the distribution of the newspaper be maintained and its scale expanded.

For some businesses, it is worth paying for this kind of advertising fees, which can start the brand of their products, let the brand become popular, and form the so-called time-honored brand.

Not to mention others, Chen Daolin is absolutely willing to pay for this small amount of money.

His soaps are so profitable that they are so profitable. The most important thing to do right now is to make these products a time-honored brand, so that when future customers buy these products, the first thing they think of is his Chen Ji soap.
