Chapter 154: Weekly

In the blink of an eye, November 13th, and the end of the year is getting closer, but the sky has always been gloomy and haze in recent days.

On that day, early in the morning, a trace of rain fell on the sky, and it was drizzling. In the middle of winter, it started to drizzle with a bone-broken chill.

Chen Ao went to Suiya Mountain House yesterday to take a walk. The mountain shop has opened and is hosted by Wu Liuer. The business is very prosperous. This kind of popular tea shop attracts a lot of customers, but the profit is small.

This is just the beginning. Chen Ao doesn’t care much about the profits of this new store, as long as there is a profit.

Chun'er couldn't live in a leisurely house. She lived in Suiyashan and occasionally helped calculate the accounts. She entered the Duke's Mansion and learned some calculations, so she could do the best to settle the accounts.

Chen Ao was making an idea. Due to the best selling of Sui Ya Book, Wu Saner had bought a printing shop on the verge of bankruptcy, recruited craftsmen, and updated the movable type tool, but she was very busy.

Chen Ao means that in addition to publishing the Sui Essay Book, it seems that you can print something else to make more profits.

Chen Ao once taught Zhou Heng to conduct a survey. In the city of Bianjing, the literacy rate is still quite high. However, although many people are literate, their cultural level is mostly just literacy.

This group of people can be regarded as the middle class in Bianjing City. Some livelihoods, some wealth, but not enough money. Therefore, the main entertainment is naturally not as good as the wealthy giants and officials. It is impossible to spend a lot of money in brothels and brothels, nor do they have the capital to be artisans. If you have time, you will find a tea shop, sit in the restaurant for an hour or two, listen to people's stories, and talk to others for a few words, which is extremely rare.

Chen Ao planned to run a newspaper-like publication, which was published once a week. Of course, it was not about current affairs, but mainly about telling stories. He had already thought about the page. The newspaper was set to the size of a newspaper in later generations, with three sheets per page, and four columns were set up in total. One was called "Hunting the Curious Ghost Tale", which naturally wrote some ghost stories, and the other was called "Talented Man and Beautiful Woman" and "Someone met a rich lady". This kind of story mainly catered to the needs of girls in the boudoir. The plot must be yy enough, and the end of the reunion must be a happy ending, such as "Such a Love Shou" and "Whoever finally gets married," and so on.

As for the third column, there are some gossip stories. Of course, most of this so-called gossip is actually made up, such as someone in abducted and cheated in a certain place in Bianjing City. How do officials who are both brave and smart and have equally important courage and wit find evil, how do they seek physical evidence, and finally capture them to the case. This story has a certain documentary nature and adds a lot of sensational content to satisfy the audience's curiosity.

The last fourth column is a long-form serialized column. The serialized stories have certain benefits. Once the previous article attracts readers, these readers are willing to pay for the following stories. This is the reason why they cannot stop.

With ideas, it is easy to implement. Naturally, the technology and release matters are left to Wu Saner. Chen Ao focused on compiling some familiar stories in the future. In the future, some people can submit their articles. There are no need for too many stories every week, and they will not be at a loss.

However, I taught Chen Ao to pick up the pen and write a story myself, and he consumed too much time and energy. Chen Ao's idea hit Xiao Zhangzhang. Xiao Zhangzhang ate, drank and slept in the Sui Yashan room. His life was good. With time, he could also ask the tea lovers for some literary issues. He usually read books and had some unclear relationships with the maids, which was quite happy.

Chen Ao regretted that he had known that he shouldn't have led the wolf into the house. Now that this guy is being raised by himself, he doesn't have any guilt at all. He called me a few times and almost wanted to treat Chen Ao as his biological brother.

This is not enough. You can't let Xiao Zhangzhang continue to fall and defraud his surplus value... Oh, no, you have to teach him to support himself and cheer him up.

In fact, Xiao Zhangzhang's cultural level is still quite low. Although he is still a little far from writing good poems and lyrics, the rest will not stump him. After all, he came from a noble family and his foundation is there, just like Zhou Heng, he will never become a big man.

Chen Ao touched Xiao Zhangzhang's back and said kindly, Xiao Zhangzhang, do you want to make a big splash? Do you want to make a career that will make others look at you with admiration?

This sentence hit Lu Zhizhang's heart, so he naturally nodded like pounding garlic, so how could he say no?

This is easy to deal with. What Chen Ao needs is a promising young man, courage, determination and perseverance.

Finally, Xiao Zhangzhang became the first columnist of the weekly magazine. Almost all the stories of the first weekly magazine were written by Lu Zhizhang. Of course, the inspiration came from Chen Ao. Chen Ao first made the outline and designed the characters and general plots, so he didn't have to worry about the rest. Lu Zhizhang filled the full twists and turns of the story.

After the story was written, it was really good, especially those short stories. Although they were all familiar jokes in later generations, they even played some tricks through Lu Zhizhang Run's pen. Chen Ao Dada praised it. The young master is the young master. He has many ideas in his heart, not rigid, creative, and promising.

Today, Chen Ao woke up early in the morning and the first thing he did was to wear clothes and go out to buy a copy of Tunya Wencui. Today is the first day of Tunya Wencui's publication. What is the effect? ​​He is actually a little weak in his heart. If he doesn't see it with his own eyes, he will be worried.

After eating the breakfast I delivered, Chen Ao picked up a bronze mirror, took it from side to side, smiled, and said to himself: "Eunuch Yang's mouth is so terrifying that he actually said that my Yin Tang is pink. Why do I look so white? It's enough to be a slutty face."

I felt yelled in my heart, closed the door and went out, and arrived at the horse house. I wanted to borrow a horse to go out for a stroll, but in the stable, I saw Zhou Ruo and his girl selecting a carriage.

When Zhou Ruo saw Chen Ao, the expression on her face was unpredictable. She was holding an oil umbrella, and the drizzle drizzled like a thread. She was originally delicate and thin, and under the oil umbrella, she looked even more charming. Especially her pretty face, her face was filled with goose fat in the rain and mist, her lips were like cherry blossoms, her eyebrows were like ink paintings, and her spirit was as delicate as autumn water. She was indescribable and delicate. Her emerald green skirt looked even more dazzling and fresh in this turbid rain, just like rain hitting the green lotus, which was very ethereal and elegant; although she was just a stern face, she had a different style.

Chen Ao naturally didn't bring an umbrella for such a light rain. The rain line drifted onto his head and his face was soaked. Fortunately, he had thick skin and flesh, so he didn't realize anything.

Seeing Chen Ao's appearance, Zhou Ruo was so angry that he was so angry that he was wet in such a cold winter that he was too ignorant of himself. If he was sick, he would be worried about her mother.

"Ha, cousin, you want to go out too? That's a coincidence." Chen Ao didn't care with a smile. He knew in his heart that this cousin was cold and warm. The colder he was, the more enthusiastic he was.

Zhou Ruo glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with Chun'er? Have you placed her?"

Speaking of Chun'er, I really need to thank my cousin. If she hadn't been wise and asked the little princess to report the news, I was afraid that Chen Ao would regret it for life. Chen Ao said seriously: "It's okay to have placed her, I have to thank my cousin!"

Zhou Ruo snorted coldly and said angrily: "You have a lot of debts for love. It's Miss Zhenzhen and Chun'er. I don't know how many girls will continue to harm in the future."

Is there any? Are there many? In this era, there seems to be not many, and my buddies are just responding to the call for eugenics and educating.

Chen Ao felt a little aggrieved and said with a bitter face: "My cousin's words seem to be a little heavier, but in fact, my cousin is not so unbearable."

The rain drips on him. Zhou Ruo felt a little embarrassed when he saw him chattering and defending himself: "Why are you not in the stable to hide from the rain and stand in the rain? Do you think you are a hero?"

Chen Ao curled his lips: "I'm going out, so I won't go to the stable. If my cousin uses the oil umbrella to hide the rain, that's about the same." He said to the groom: "Let me find a horse and be more handsome."

The groom and Shen Ao are familiar with each other, and know what the matter is about handsomeness. He smiled and said, "Young Master Chou, there is no handsome horse. Today I have to buy a lot of miscellaneous items from the New Year, and they have been picked up. There are two donkeys, who look very elegant and honest. They can be said to be the best among donkeys. I wonder if Young Master Chou wants it?"

"Donkey?" Chen Ao looked at a horse in the stable with his eyes blankly. Needless to say, the horse has been booked by his cousin. Just donkeys are good, donkeys are not fast, safe and environmentally friendly. Good cousin is good at donkeys. Hey, this young master actually rhymes when he thinks. It seems that his cultural level is good, and this classic is not in vain.

Chen Ao said, "Okay, let me lead a horse for me and agreed in advance that I don't want my mother."

When Zhou Ruo heard Chen Ao talking nonsense here, he couldn't help but think: "I don't want to be a mother, what's the allusion?" His pretty face turned red and he spat: "I'm not serious, no wonder the imperial edicts came down to scold you."

The groom led the donkey, and the donkey was lazy and saddled, but it did not add any agility to it. He was speechless, but he didn't dislike it. He turned over and swayed with the donkey's belly, and smiled at Zhou Ruo, "My cousin is a bit urgent today, so let's go first."

Seeing that he was wet in the rain, Zhou Ruo wanted to ask him to ride the carriage together, but his words were choked in his throat, but he didn't speak, and said coldly: "Hmph, you'll go by yourself."

Chen Ao didn't say much, and hurriedly rode a donkey and trampled on the mud.

After leaving the Zhou Mansion, there was a wine shop in the distance. According to Chen Ao's instructions to Wu Saner, when the weekly magazine was released, you need to find some idle boys to take the weekly magazine to sell it everywhere, especially in places with a large crowd, so you must not miss it. Unfortunately, it rained today and was not good at going to the army, so you can only settle for the second best and sell it in some crowded places such as wine shops and tea shops.
