Chapter 356 The newspaper office is about to start a trial run
Don’t worry about Liu Bei for now, how should you spend your days without afternoon tea in the future...
Liu Bei's departure from Xudu had little impact on Cao Cao's camp. Whether she rebelled or obediently guarded Pei County, it was meaningless. Liu Bei's useful civil and military personnel were too few, so few that Xun Yu or Guo Jia did not take it seriously.
"How about we sent her the 10,000 prisoners of the White Bo thief to her?" At some afternoon tea, it should be November, Wang Yong suddenly remembered the 10,000 prisoners.
"Speaking of this, I haven't paid much attention to this period. It's meaningless to keep a group of arrogant and unruly guys. Liu Bei is willing to take in as he wants. They are all used to being thieves. Even if they are recruited as soldiers, there will be various problems." Cao Cao didn't care at all, so he picked up the black tea and took a sip.
The women in the Baibo thief have committed serious crimes and have been dealt with separately, and the others have been arranged to marry meritorious soldiers and officers. Almost all the men sent to Liu Bei are just men in the Baibo thief.
He paused, looked at Wang Yong and asked, "After that, how is the newspaper you said you want to run?"
"The lord should also be able to see it... After all, the construction site is opposite Sikong Mansion... My subordinates plan to build a building about two floors, and at the same time, they have recruited more than a dozen civilian scholars through Wanshiwu, and are training them to write press releases and interviews. The printing ink has been improved, and it has to be said that Wanshiwu's efficiency is indeed good... but the improvement of this printing machine is not something that can happen overnight." Wang Yong shook his head.
The current printing press is already good, but the printing speed and efficiency are not up to his expectations. According to the current situation, at least more than 20 such printing presses are required to start at the same time to print 100,000 newspapers in one day. Of course, it is also possible that he is a little too ambitious, after all, 10,000 copies in the early stage may be enough.
"We must hurry up. It's almost two months. I guess the imperial doctor in the palace can be diagnosed..." Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong and reminded him.
Indeed, two months have passed in a blink of an eye. Not only Hua Tuo, an ordinary doctor, can also bring out the joyful pulse. At that time, the news that Liu Xie was pregnant without marriage will be spread. If he cannot cooperate with the guidance of public opinion, then the rumors outside may turn from "the holy baby from heaven" to gossip news like "Your Majesty has a wild man".
After all, compared to some orthodox news, people prefer gossip news.
"So my subordinates expect that the newspaper will be operated in advance in three days. The lord, the head of the newspaper, should be confirmed. My subordinate is just a chef..." Wang Yong reported helplessly.
"Yes, the frame has been set up, so it's okay to try it in advance... Well, I will send someone to you tomorrow. If nothing is wrong, I will continue to work!" Cao Cao put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Wang Yong.
"Yes, I obey the order!" Wang Yong nodded, then packed up the tray, turned around and left.
"So, who will be sent to take over this important position?" Cao Cao began to have a headache for the candidates for the main affairs. This thing is to control public opinion, so it must be a trustworthy person. Otherwise, once it falls into the hands of some people, the blade of public opinion may be directed towards him.
After leaving Sikong Mansion in the afternoon, Wang Yong went directly to the newspaper office and summoned all the field trips.
"The above has spoken, let us start running as soon as possible. Three days, three days later, the entire newspaper will be tested. Now, I will give you three days to go out for field trips. Collect various strange stories in the local area and then pass them back." Wang Yong looked at these civilian scholars and ordered them.
"Subordinate to obey the order!" These scholars cherished this opportunity very much, so they naturally did not dare to neglect it and responded quickly.
In this world, scholars are roughly divided into three types. One is from a wealthy family, who has learned extensively from a young family, has complete annotations on classics, and can learn by themselves by relying on the knowledge passed down from generation to generation;
One is a family of landlords and rich people. Perhaps a certain generation of officials had a family. Anyway, no one could enter the court, so it was not considered a noble family and could not reach the level of a wealthy family. This is called a poor family, which means that a poor family may not be very poor people.
The last type is this kind of ordinary scholar. People born in the past, with the idea of changing their destiny, they seize the opportunity to find ways to read books, and the online book is already available for sale, and the price is not too high. Several people bought one together, studied and discussed with each other, and learned to become a self-taught one.
After all, they are at the bottom of the world, so they can endure hardships and cherish every opportunity to learn. Their enthusiasm for learning is higher than that of poor families. However, in the same way, there are not many of them who can become officials. Even if they occasionally become officials, they are just minor officials, county magistrates of the county, or even pavilion chiefs.
The newspaper is an institution directly under the jurisdiction of the court, and the salary of editors and editors is not low, not to mention the positions of president and vice president. Moreover, using this as a springboard, you may not be unable to enter other yamen to become officials in the future. This is at the foot of the emperor!
"Editor!" Wang Yong looked at several editors in the newspaper. They were all poor families found through Wanshiwu. "You are responsible for reviewing these manuscripts and then helping to modify and polish them. It is best to exaggerate a little, attracting others' attention!"
Then he looked at a few people's field trips and continued, "The news about your field trips can also be exaggerated appropriately, but not distorted. If I deliberately exaggerate, ugliness or fictionalize them in order to attract attention, and if the plot is serious, I will fire you directly!"
"Subordinate to obey the order!" Cai Feng and the editor immediately replied that it was related to the future and they had to treat it with caution.
"The last editor!" Wang Yong looked at Zhang Song. Because no one transferred him here, he was very suitable to be the editor. "Brother Zi Qiao, the editor below recommends the manuscript, and you can review it and then determine which ones can be published in the newspaper. After all, the page is so large, and it cannot be wasted."
"There is no problem with this!" Zhang Song nodded. He is only seventeen years old this year, so he can accumulate some experience in the newspaper. He actually has a good impression of Wang Yong. One, the other party recommended him, and the other party has not despised himself because of his ugly appearance since he dated.
He is also an alien, and should be considered a returning ancient genius, so he is neither handsome nor handsome. If it were Huang Zhong and Yu Jin, he would have a sharp-mouthed and monkey-like cheeks. He would be completely an ugly man in this era.
In the past, people around him despised him. If it weren't for his talent and his brother Zhang Su, they would have committed suicide by being embarrassed and angry. Even so, the experience of being looked down upon since childhood made him very eager for others' recognition. Wang Yong recommended him and did not despise him when he came into contact, which made him very pleased.
As the saying goes, "A gentleman dies for his confidant," Zhang Song will naturally do his best to complete Wang Yong's explanation.
"I am the vice president and have served for a while. I guess Zi Qiao will be responsible for this position in the future! But the president will be determined tomorrow, everyone will be mentally prepared!" Wang Yong reminded.
Chapter completed!
