Yi Zhizu was afraid that he would talk about his unfamiliar topic. When he saw him mentioning the newspaper topic, he was just right. He immediately said: "The Guangzhou Weekly and the Macau Monthly are foreign newspapers. How many foreigners can Guangzhou have? It is strange to not accompany money. Chinese newspapers are different. Brother Wu, just think about it, what would it be if a newspaper is read by tens of thousands of people? If it is read by tens of thousands of people, what would it be?"

After hearing this, Wu Changqing asked in a row: "So many people read it? How much can a newspaper be sold for? Ten or twenty? How much can it be earned after deducting the cost? Besides, where do so many people read newspapers in Guangzhou?"

"If you want to expand the issuance volume and increase your influence, you naturally cannot limit yourself to Guangzhou." Yi Zhizu said with a smile: "Although Guangzhou is a bit remote, Guangzhou is a trading port in the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention that it attracts national attention, it is also the focus of attention of several coastal provinces.

As long as the newspaper is well run, it will not be distributed nationwide like a newspaper, but at least it can be distributed in several southeastern provinces. The 100,000 yuan circulation is just a conservative estimate. After all, newspapers are sold to the public. Brother Wu calculated that the coastal provinces are just scholars, gentry, and merchants?

As for the price, folk newspapers naturally cannot be expensive. It is not painful to make ordinary people feel sorry for buying newspapers. After deducting the cost, it is enough to make a newspaper with one copper coin."

"Just make one cent?" Wu Changqing said casually: "Even if you can sell 100,000 copies, there will be only more than a hundred silver dollars in one period. How many can you get in a year? Five thousand?"

"Brother Wu, don't just think about making money by selling newspapers." Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "How can a newspaper that is distributed in several southeastern provinces rely solely on the profit of selling newspapers?"

Wu Changqing was so smart that he couldn't react for a moment. Five thousand silver dollars were just a little profit in Yi Zhizu's mouth. Is there any other large profits in running a newspaper? He didn't ask too much, thinking about it secretly.

Yi Jingzuo didn't point it out, and let him think about it alone. It was not a bad thing to sniff his appetite.

The three of them walked silently for a while, and Yi Zhizu said, "Brother Wu may get the imperial court's residence?"

"Dibao? There is a study room for the old man." Wu Changqing said nonsense: "But it is not complete, it is just an excerpt of the old man's concern, such as the appointment and removal of civil and military officials in Guangzhou, disasters, wars, etc.." As he said that, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "You want a dibao... to run a newspaper? Will publish the content of a dibao in the newspaper? Will it be a ban?"

"Dibao is originally published in the world, so how can I violate the prohibition?" Yi Zhizu said distractedly: "Does the imperial court's dibao not allow the gentry in the world to see?"

That may not be true. Wu Changqing did not agree with this, but he did not distinguish it from him, because he did not know the controls of the palace newspapers and local tabloids. He had to go back and check it out before he could find out that he could not understand it at all.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yi Zhizu hit the iron with the heat and continued: "It shouldn't be difficult for Brother Wu to get a complete newspaper."

"The Governor's Office should have a complete one, I'll try it." Although Wu Changqing was quite worried about Yi Shizu and had a good relationship, he was not clear about the situation of the newspaper and did not dare to take over it, leaving some room for him.

The group returned to Xiguan by boat and said goodbye at the dock. Yi Yunchang and Wu Changqing went to Yi He to Yi Shizu, while Yi Zhizu returned home in a sedan chair. Originally, he planned to visit Xiguan, but the servant Li Wang and the sedan chairwoman were specially advised by Yi Yunchang, so he had to go home obediently.

After returning home, Yi Zhizu went straight to the east across the courtyard. He didn't sleep well last night. Now he has properly solved the problem of Fu Taixing. He was relaxed and just wanted to go back and make up for a night. When he entered the courtyard, Li Wang, the servant with him, rushed to two steps and said, "Young Master..."

Yi Zhizu stopped and looked at him and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

Li Wang was in his early twenties and was quite Zhou Zheng. He had been following Yi Yunchang this morning. He was assigned by Yi Yunchang to follow Yi Shizu. He was not very clear about Yi Shizu's temperament. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Young Master has just recovered from a serious illness. His wife is very worried. He left this morning and the young master did not go to greet him. Now he is back home..."

I got up early and asked for peace, but I still wanted to ask for peace when I returned home? There are too many rules, right? Yi Zhizu felt a big head. After hesitation, he raised his foot and headed to the main courtyard. The mother I remembered was very spoiled to him, and he was not in conflict with him. As soon as he entered the main courtyard, he ran into Lin instructed the maid to water the potted plants. He hurriedly walked up to him, smiled and bowed, saying, "I wish my mother goodbye."

"Le'er is back." Lin looked at his face with a smile, and then said with concern: "You're so tired. Your father is really. If you haven't recovered, you'll let you go out. If you have any urgent matters, you can't delay for two days." She didn't know that Fu Taixing was in danger of bankruptcy, nor did she know what the father and son went out early in the morning to do.

Seeing that she seemed to be completely unaware of it, Yi Zhizu naturally would not talk too much. Once she talked about this, she would have to explain for a long time. He quickly smiled and said, "It's not a problem, I'm always sitting in a sedan chair, and I can't get tired of the baby." After talking to Dongla, he quickly stepped out on the excuse that he had not had enough rest last night and returned to his East Cross-Court.

As soon as he entered the yard, Lin Da'an and three other servants quickly came up to greet him. They were all newcomers who had just arranged this day. Yi Zhizu looked at them one by one. They were about seventeen or eighteen years old, and they all looked very energetic. He didn't know that this was specially selected by him by the cheap Laodou. He also said that it was carefully selected by the butler Su Yunqing. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Come here."

After entering the hall, after washing hands and cleansing his face with Chunmei and Xia He, he went back to the room to get a stack of silver dollars before walking out slowly. He stood on the steps. Seeing the opportunity, Li Wang quickly moved a chair out and placed it behind him. When he sat down, Xia He brought a small teapot to him.

Yi Zhizuo was served by Shutai, thinking that he was really comfortable as a young master. He took a sip of tea and glanced at the servants standing respectfully under the steps. He said aloud: "For me, one is to be loyal, two is to abide by the rules, and three is to be diligent in doing things."

"The younger ones understand."

"Let me talk about three rules first. First, the matters in the yard, no matter how big or small, cannot be mentioned to the public, nor are they allowed to discuss them privately. Second, I am at home, no matter who comes, you must report them first; Third, I am in my study, and I cannot take any further steps without permission, and I report them outside if there is anything."

As he said that, Yi Zhizu glanced at Chunmei and Xia He and specifically reminded him: "You two are the same."

Chunmei and Xiahe were both stunned. What could be found in the study? Why did the young master suddenly attach so much importance to the study? After being stunned, the two hurriedly squatted and said, "I obey the order."

The four servants also bowed together and said, "Little ones, please obey the order."

Yi Zhizu nodded, took out a stack of silver dollars, handed it to Chunmei, and ordered: "Each person rewards one piece, and you two are the same. Let Li Zhonggui and the other four be divided equally. Tell them to be safe and well-behaved. If the injury is healed, I have other errands."

Several maids and servants were stunned. Why was the third young master suddenly so generous? Seeing Chunmei taking the silver dollar gift, the few people reacted and bowed together and said, "Thank you for your reward."

"I will naturally not treat you badly, as long as I do things with my heart, I guarantee that you will have a future." Yi Zhizu paused, stretched out two fingers, and said, "I will explain two things. One is to inquire about the details of Wu Changqing, a child of the Wu family. This matter should be fast and be careful not to be noticed.

Besides, I have just recovered from a serious illness, and my daily playmates will definitely visit you in the past two days. You have to find ways to get familiar with these people as soon as possible, so as not to make a joke at that time." As he said that, he waved his hand, "Go and do everything."

The four servants who were waiting stepped back, Xia He pursed his lips and said, "Young Master is exhausted, I will rub you?"

Can you still massage? Yi Zhizu nodded and said, "The house is too stuffy, move a recliner to the shade of the tree." Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
