Chapter 76 Expectations and Realities
"Bastard!" A low roar came from the flower hall in the backyard of the governor's yamen. The governor's personal soldiers guarding behind the gate looked at each other for a while and were frightened to make up for it. Who knew that it caused the governor to be furious?
Feng Xu was holding a rough newspaper in his hand, his face turned pale and was about to get angry. The front page headline of the newspaper was suddenly - revenge!
1. That's right, the governor's hand was the revenge that had just been published and circulated in a small area in the city. Of course, he didn't know that this newspaper was spreading widely in the countryside outside the city and became the best textbook for peasant children's primary school, so he was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood on the spot.
Originally, it was just a new newspaper, and the content was all about teaching children's primary school. Although he was in his heart, it was no big deal. But this new newspaper was called "Luan Fu". Where are you going to "Luan Fu"? The person who sent the newspaper can be punished!
"Come here, quickly bring the prefect of Anqing, the patrol police chief, and the patrol battalion manager!"
Not long afterwards, Wang Jin was notified to attend the emergency meeting of the General Administration. When he came, he was a little confused. He had teleported his mind and nothing happened in the end. Looking at the solemn expression of the General Administration sending a message to the man who died, something must have happened, but what happened?
"Boss Wan Fanggan, come and ask, I don't know what the General Administration asked us to come this time?" When Wang Jin arrived, the bosses of the other three cities had arrived long ago. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart that these guys were too cautious. However, in Xicheng District, they came earlier than their local snakes, which shows how attentive and careful they are.
Wang Jin also understood their difficulties and did not show it. He shook his head and said helplessly: "You guys are asking the wrong person right now, and I don't know what's going on!"
The bosses of the other three urban areas looked at each other and did not ask anything. They sat on their own chair and waited for the arrival of the general manager. However, from the subtle aspects of their expressions, they could still see that they were confused.
Shaking his head and laughing, Wang Jin didn't care about these guys anymore. He sat on his chair and closed his eyes to ponder, calculating the development details of "Revenge" in his mind.
The first issue of "Revenge" has been fully rolled out, and under his guidance, 10,000 copies were printed crazily, and 8,000 copies were not required to be distributed in rural Anqing area, and only 2,000 copies were pitiful in Anqing City and each county town. He was rich and powerful at this time, and he could afford to spend money with the smugglers from Shandong.
Faced with such a crazy "delivery" plan, Anqing Xin Restoration Meeting was also a big fuss. Some people thought that this was inappropriate, some people thought that cities should be regarded as the main delivery target, and some people thought that the stalls could not be distributed so large. Of course, there were also voices of approval. Liu Wendian was the most staunch supporter.
In the end, Wang Jinli defeated the public and decided on the matter. His reason was also very strong: "Handling newspapers is like marching and fighting. The most important thing is momentum and influence. The first shot must be shot well at the beginning. The rural people are so nice, and the rural people are simple. We should not be grateful to the "textbook" that will be delivered to our children for free this time? In this way, will our activities in the countryside be more convenient and like a fish in water in the future?"
"On the other hand, the residents in the city are not interested in slandering me. Their knowledge and vision are naturally broader than those of the rural brothers. Can the newspaper we run be their eyes on? Of course, I am not saying that our newspaper has no future, but on the contrary, it is very promising. But the first issue must be made to make a name for others to see our strength. The consequences of distribution in the urban area are unpredictable!"
Although the comrades were still confused, Wang Jin had to nod his head helplessly when he said this. Besides, he paid for the money for the newspaper. The comrades were just trying to fight with the president for the right to distribute the newspaper. Moreover, they were also new in the newspaper industry, so it might be a good thing to see the results!
The result was that the comrades who were observing silently shocked the eyes. The development of things was as expected by the president. The brothers and sisters in the countryside received their free children's enlightenment assistance "textbooks" and were all so happy that they were grateful to the comrades who were sent to the door and were crying.
The idea of "Everything is inferior, only reading is high!" is firmly rooted in the hearts of the people at that time. Who would not desire their children to make a name for themselves? But reality is cruel. Although the Qing Dynasty, which was dominated by agricultural civilization, had opened its doors to accept foreign things, industry had not developed, and business was monopolized by local chambers of commerce. Ordinary people, especially rural people, want to make a name for themselves and break free from the constraints of the land, and there is no other way out except to read quickly!
But looking at the world today, I am almost unable to get enough, so how can the children in rural areas have the opportunity and financial resources to study? Of course, it is too absolute to say that. The Confucian teaching method is deeply rooted in the hearts of scholars. It is not difficult to have two scholars in a village. Most of them are willing to help the children in the village study and learn calligraphy, but due to the conditions, they can still overcome it without compensation, but without books, pens, inkstones, paper and inkstones is a big problem.
Now Anqing Xinguangfu will send free auxiliary learning materials and help with pinyin letters. Even those adult illiterate people can learn and recognize words as long as they work hard. How can the villagers not be grateful?
The successful completion of free newspaper delivery in rural areas gave the comrades at the Restoration Association great confidence. They hurriedly rushed to Anqing urban area and various county towns, hoping to regain people's gratitude and praise.
People need to have motivation to move forward faster, especially in the darkest era before dawn in the late Qing Dynasty, which was even worse!
But expectations are beautiful, but reality is cruel!
It is not allowed to be shouted on the street, and the delivery of newspapers is very difficult. Some urban residents who received free newspapers were thrown away, while others didn't respond at all. Few people could really calm down and read them well. What's even more annoying is that some residents saw that there were free newspapers to take, so they asked the comrades who delivered newspapers to ask for more than a dozen or twenty pieces and took them home as window paper!
Anqing actually has a large readership, but unfortunately all schools are closely monitored. After knowing the inside story, the comrades dare not ask for trouble at the university. Therefore, the free newspaper delivery plan in the urban area failed...
Just as Wang Jin was in memory, a messy footsteps suddenly came from the door of the conference room, and then a clear voice shouted: "The General Officer is here..."
