Chapter 861 Preparing to establish a newspaper office!
"Hmph, they are just a bunch of blood-sucking cysts lying on the Tang Dynasty. How dare they try to get involved in such a treasured land like Australia!"
Cheng Chusi smiled with disdain, "Now, Your Majesty, Master, and our Aye have finally cut off these cystic cysts from the Tang Dynasty.
Return to them the blood they have sucked from the Tang Dynasty over the years, and then send them to the poor barbarian lands around the Tang Dynasty, let them guard the borders for the Tang Dynasty, and give them freedom, and they will
Enjoy this freedom!"
In front of his most trusted disciples and disciples, Cheng Chusi could sometimes appear to be both wise and foolish.
Li Chengqian nodded slightly, with a look of agreement, "It's best for these aristocratic families never to come back. Without the constraints of these aristocratic families, when I govern Huazhou, all the government orders I issue will be smooth and unobstructed, and no official will violate it!"
"It's true, it's true, these aristocratic families are like cancer, they can easily block the government orders of a state or a county!"
"Without these aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has become much cleaner in recent years!"
"Those children from aristocratic families who are even more arrogant than us, I don't see even one in a year..."
"Is it possible that all the officials in Huazhou know that you, the governor of Huazhou, are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and you have confidants like Wang Xuance and Fang Yizhi beside you, plus the development of Weinan County, all the aristocratic families and officials have
, do you dare to play any tricks?"
"You can just speak out about these matters."
Li Chengqian hurriedly asked for advice: "Master, please give me some advice!"
Li Xuan nodded slowly, "These blank spaces need to be used to attract wealthy businessmen, aristocratic families, and officials to buy! Only the more wealthy businessmen from these aristocratic families buy, the more money the newspaper can make!"
After thinking about it, Li Chengqian's eyes shone brightly. Newspapers can quickly make an unknown shop famous all over the world.
"Back to Master, one foot is too small, and three feet is too big. Cheng Qian thinks two feet is the most suitable!"
Even if all the profitable shops in Chang'an City were rotated one by one, it wouldn't be enough for one year.
"No matter where in the Tang Dynasty, the people to whom these newspapers were sold were those who could read, and these people must have some money at home and can afford newspapers.
However, Li Xuan waved his hand directly and didn't pay much attention.
"Master, are there any other ways to make money?"
Then, each shop needs to pay 200 coins each time! If there are more shops in the future, the price can be increased as appropriate!"
"Master is kind, Cheng Qian will definitely make arrangements for this matter!"
"10%? I didn't expect it to be so little!"
"Or, the grievances between a certain eminent Buddhist monk and a certain eminent monk; or the secret words between a certain great scholar and a certain noble girl; or even the conquest of a small foreign country by the king of the Tang Dynasty...
"
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.
In an instant, Li Chengqian and Wang Xuance looked at Li Xuan with surprise on their faces.
"Have you thought about it?"
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Master Qi, Chengqian is aware that once the two hundred dollars of publicity expenses are paid out, no shop will pay for it!"
Not only did the newspaper not contribute funds to the court, it also made money of its own.
"However, the benefits of having them delivered to your door are not as good as those obtained by asking for them. In order to allow merchants from all over the world to come to your door in person and beg you to publicize their shops in newspapers, you can first find a few shops as a pilot project.
Let the businessmen all over the world see the power of newspaper propaganda."
Seeing that Li Chengqian understood, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others suddenly looked overjoyed.
Li Xuan glared at Cheng Chusi and said seriously: "Of course, it cannot be a rumor. The newspaper was founded by the imperial court and represents the credibility of the imperial court. Eighty percent of the things in it must be true!"
For the first time, Li Chengqian founded a novel object on his own and had to staff it with officials from the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others were all in a daze.
"I think the first chief executive of the newspaper is either your majesty or you! Furthermore, it can be the prince of Hejian, or the Duke of Wei, or the Duke of Qi. Only in this way can we deter those who are dissatisfied with it.
Officials!"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian and Li Baoding couldn't help but widen their eyes again. They thought they already knew their master's money-making methods very well.
Li Chengqian was startled, sighed softly, and said helplessly: "Returning to Master, according to Chengqian's understanding in Weinan County, not only the common people, but also the wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families, if they have some rich money in their hands, they would rather deposit it in a bank.
Use it to buy newspapers!”
"Exactly!"
And if each newspaper sells for two cents, it can only earn 30,000 guan a year, and it will also cost a lot of money. I am afraid that many courtiers will criticize it!"
Cheng Chusi shrank his neck and nodded repeatedly: "What Master said is true!"
Li Chengqian nodded, "Master, please rest assured, Chengqian understands!"
Li Xuandao: "But if not many people buy it, then the newspaper will be useless. It is better to post notices!"
Li Chengqian said sincerely: "Master, don't be surprised. Before Chengqian's knowledge was shallow, he didn't realize the treasures were placed in front of him. Now that he has become the governor of a state, he knows that there is a newspaper that is more detailed than notices. It is published every few days."
How important it is to show the people of the world how important the decrees and important events of the Tang Dynasty are!"
Li Chengqian frowned slightly: "But Master, a two-foot-long newspaper is a bit wasteful just based on the imperial decree!"
Afterwards, Li Chengqian smiled coyly and continued, "Master, I want to start a newspaper!"
You know, in Chang'an City alone, there are only a few shops that can earn 200 guan in a month.
Li Xuan asked with a surprised look on his face: "Do you think it's a little lacking?"
However, Li Xuan did not expect that the first chief executive of the newspaper was Li Baoding.
Only Cheng Chusi looked nonchalant, laughing, extremely vulgar.
"Thank you for the tip, Master!"
"However, these are only purchased by wealthy businessmen, aristocratic families, and officials from all over the world, but they are not enough for the newspaper to make money!"
After everything about the newspaper was settled, the establishment of a newspaper in the Tang Dynasty was successfully approved by Li Shimin and all the ministers in the court.
"Master, how high is the chief official of this newspaper?"
"Merchant?" Several people were startled.
Li Baoding pondered for a moment and said, "What Master is talking about is the reputation of those people?"
Li Xuan nodded slightly. "If so, then it's two feet!"
"Why is the most suitable size for the newspapers you print?" Li Xuan asked directly.
"Master, this plan is very clever. No matter how noble a person is, they will inevitably like to listen to these rumors. Moreover, the more noble a person is, the more people like to listen to rumors!"
Li Chengqian asked: "I dare to ask Master, but you can use our own shop?"
"Therefore, the empty space left in the newspaper is where you can make money in the newspaper!"
Li Chengqian said cautiously.
"Exactly!"
"In addition, the Supervisory Censor often traveled around the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty to monitor the world, and he had the clearest knowledge of some of the rumors and trivial matters among the officials, great Confucians, and dignitaries of aristocratic families in each state and county of the Tang Dynasty.
Datang News Agency!
"Hehe, Master is wise!" Li Chengqian and Wang Xuance all laughed subconsciously.
As Li Xuan said, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others could not help but gradually widen their eyes. Their eyes were full of curiosity, but due to their respective identities, they could not show it so obviously.
"What if it was in a certain Duke's house, or a certain courtier stayed overnight? Or, a certain state road supervisor did many evil things, was inspected by the censor, and then was beheaded by His Majesty!"
Li Chengqian replied without thinking: "Master, if the printed newspaper is one foot in size, the imperial decree can occupy a page. If the printed newspaper is two feet in size, the imperial decree can occupy at most a quarter.
The printed newspapers are three feet in size..."
"Two hundred guan per family per time?"
There were just merchant shops on the left and right. Since the newspaper had been handed over to Li Chengqian, he was unwilling to change Li Chengqian's wishes too much.
The remaining, which were about ten seventh- and eighth-grade officials, could not bring any impact to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Xuan looked at Li Chengqian in surprise. He had already mentioned the newspaper matter before.
"Master, how can I make money if I leave blank space in the newspaper?"
Li Chengqian was even more excited after receiving Li Xuan's recognition.
Li Xuan smiled faintly and asked: "Are you interested in the rumors in the streets and alleys of Chang'an?"
"That's okay!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, "But just Confucian articles are not that attractive!"
"However, the newspaper really wants to make money by relying on this kind of publicity, so you can give it a try first. Only five shops can be advertised in each newspaper.
We estimate that the money spent on these newspapers will be around 50,000 yuan, or even more.
"this……"
