Chapter 335

Time flies!

After another master, Yan Liqiang's cultivation in Luyuan became more tense and difficult. In addition to eating, sleeping and cultivation, Yan Liqiang had no more half a minute of leisure every day in Luyuan.

Not only in reality, Yan Liqiang is in a state of tension every day, even in the realm of heaven, but even so, Yan Liqiang will leave Luyuan every three days, return to Dijing, meet Fang Beidou, Hu Haihe and others, and discuss with them to solve various problems that need to be solved when the first newspaper is published.

During this period, Yan Liqiang also went to see Xu Enda several times. Xu Enda's injury was getting better and better day by day. When Yan Liqiang went for the second time, Xu Enda could even get out of bed and walk around, while several young people of Xiao Wu began to help work in Chuang Tzu on the side of Longqi Mountain under the arrangement of Fang Beidou.

Hu Haihe asked his friends in Dijing to pay attention to Guo Si's whereabouts, but he didn't know whether Guo Si knew he had committed a crime and escaped from Dijing. There had been no news.

Several writers hired by the newspaper were in place soon, and Yan Liqiang even personally presided over the interview

The sources Hu Haihe found in the imperial capital also began to provide Hu Haihe with all kinds of information

Several craftsmen and masters in the printing workshop also quickly entered the state. After stirring up several times, some printing tools originally used to print books in the workshop were also improved and adjusted according to Yan Liqiang's requirements, becoming more suitable for the printing of newspaper pages.

On the evening of June 30, the 13th year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, the printing workshop in the village of Longqi Mountain was brightly lit. Yan Liqiang and Fang Beidou stared at the cut gray hemp paper one by one, pressing and then turning their eyes, the positive and negative sides of the bare paper, All at once full of words

"Boss, this time, there is absolutely no problem..." the master father in the printing workshop respectfully handed the first printed newspaper to Yan Liqiang.

Since noon today, the printing workshop has been working on this matter. It has tried to print several times before, because the craftsmen in the workshop printed such a large paper for the first time. The layout of one side of a newspaper is almost seven or eight times larger than that of an ordinary book, and the printed newspaper has some problems, However, several craftsmen in the workshop kept adjusting the movable type and typesetting. After several attempts, when Yan Liqiang came to the printing workshop after dark, the craftsmen in the printing workshop finally took out the first printed newspaper.

The newspaper in his hand is light and does not have the heavy feeling of creating history. The gray hemp paper used to print the newspaper is still a little different from the newsprint of his previous life. The quality of movable type printing is not as good as those produced by laser typesetting seen by Yan Liqiang in his previous life, and there are no fresh pictures. However, the thing in his hand is indeed a newspaper, The handwriting on it is clear, with headlines and dates. There are all kinds of news and news in each page. There are no mistakes in the typesetting, engraving and line pressing of the whole newspaper.

On the front of the newspaper, there are a few big characters - the Han empire times.

At the bottom of the headline is the time when the newspaper is ready to be officially launched, that is, tomorrow - July 1, 13th year of Yuanping of the Han Empire.

At the bottom of this time, there is a line of embossed small characters, which is the purpose of the Han empire times - to connect the four sides, communicate information, neither party nor private, readable and rewarding.

On the front page of the newspaper, there is only a row of bold font, with only one message on it - warm congratulations on the launch of the Han empire times today.

In addition to the front page, several other pages published some news that Yan Liqiang had just collected.

In the current affairs edition, there is the original notice of the Ministry of household preparing to recruit craftsmen to rebuild the underground drainage canal in the north of the emperor's capital, as well as the appointment and removal of the latest assassins in the two states of the Han Empire.

On the people's livelihood edition, there is news of a Yunfeng rice store newly opened in Dijing tonghuifang. In order to attract popularity, the shopkeeper of the rice store gave a preferential price for rice. Since yesterday, he can enjoy preferential prices for buying rice in Yunfeng rice store for ten consecutive days. In addition, on the people's livelihood edition, there is news of the recent bumper harvest of peaches and plums around Jinling City

In the entertainment edition, it reported the news and comments of Yan Feifei, one of the "famous prostitutes" in the imperial capital, who is going to perform a new rehearsal in the Yanyu building in the imperial capital two days later.

On the news page, it is reported that the navy in Qiongzhou, a remote place of the Han Empire, exterminated the bandits last year

……

Although he already knew what the contents of the newspaper were, at this time, Yan Liqiang carefully read all the contents of the newspaper. There were no thrilling news and contents on each page of the first issue. The contents of each page were stable, but even so, these things were combined together, This newspaper is also a great initiative of this era.

"Everyone in the printing workshop has worked hard today. Master Guo rewarded 3 liang of silver and everyone else rewarded 1 liang of silver. I hope you will make persistent efforts in the future, keep improving and print our newspaper!" Yan Liqiang handed Fang Beidou the first printed newspaper, and as he opened his mouth, the craftsmen in the whole printing workshop cheered.

Fang Beidou read the newspaper and handed it to several writers who stretched their necks nearby. Hu Haihe and Xiao Wu rushed over at once. They were curious to see what the first printed newspaper looked like“ Unexpectedly, something written by someone on our side will be printed one day. This... This is also a book and can be handed down to future generations... "An old gentleman took the newspaper handed over by Fang Beidou. His hands were trembling, extremely excited and shed tears, The literati who wrote the contents of the newspaper next to them were also very excited when they saw what they wrote was printed on paper. It is estimated that it is difficult for outsiders to understand their excitement and excitement. Although the eyes of Hu Haihe and others were curious, they were not as excited as the writers. After reading the newspaper, they looked at each other. None of them said a word. It seemed that they were full of doubts and doubts that this thing could sell money. Yan Liqiang winked at Fang Beidou and the two came out of the workshop. Outside the workshop is a courtyard. At the moment, the stars are all over the sky. There are birds and insects singing in the flower beds and trees in the yard“ Does this... Really work? " When there were many people, Fang Beidou didn't ask, for fear of affecting morale, but now there are only two people together, and Fang Beidou is a little uncertain. After all, this is a new thing. Although he participated in making this thing, his confidence is not as strong as Yan Liqiang“ As long as we do well, it will work! " Yan Liqiang nodded very definitely“ How many copies of the first issue of the newspaper? "“ Print 3000 copies first. If the sales volume is good, we will increase the number of prints in the next issue! "“ OK! Everything is as you say. Print the newspaper here all night tonight, and pull it to a few points in the city early tomorrow morning. Then send the newspaper down and let people sell it in various restaurants and teahouses! "“ Well, that's basically it. I'll come tomorrow afternoon when I have time. Let's talk about what happens then! " Yan Li patted Fang Beidou on the shoulder and blinked. "By the way, keep one of this first newspaper for me. It's the first one in the world. Maybe it's valuable in the future. Well, I'll give it to you here. I'll go back to Luyuan first..." after talking to Fang Beidou, Yan Liqiang left Zhuangzi and returned to Luyuan, Yan Liqiang didn't rest this afternoon. He hurried over without dinner after finishing his afternoon practice. Now things have been finally settled here. Yan Liqiang was completely relieved.
