Chapter 84: Datang Daily

In fact, the output of a large amount of cheap paper not only solved the painful toilet paper problem of Tang En, but also more importantly gave him a mouthpiece that can grasp public opinion.
That's right, it's the newspaper.
He has already made a simple printing press, and now there is a lot of cheap paper available, so the launch of newspapers is a matter of course.
In Prendal, controlled by the Apocalypse, ordinary people's lives are still in the feudal period, and all news transmission is in a state of severe lag. Often, what news is happening in one place, and it may take a month to go in another Will be informed.
Of course, this only refers to ordinary news. If it is very important news, magic communication will be used, and it can be transmitted to the end of the mainland in a blink of an eye. Unfortunately, this method is extremely costly and general. Messages are never passed this way.
In this environment, launching a newspaper is one of the best ways to master public opinion in the territory. Tang En can learn from those politicians on the earth and let the public see what he wants them to guide public opinion and consolidate. He rules here.
Originally, Tang En wanted to discuss with Fiona who was responsible for the newspaper, but it looked like she was just now. It would be boring to go to her at this moment. Tang En decided to make the first newspaper by himself. .
As for the people who sell newspapers, those young people who are full of energy and have nowhere to vent are considered to have done work. No one here will sue him to hire child labor ... [e1]
As a result, the residents of Ellington suddenly found a strange thing. These days, those children who are usually running around the street suddenly became very strange. They were running around the street to inquire about some strange things, and went home at night. When I was there, they were mysterious and mysterious. My face was full of excitement, as if I had encountered something very exciting ...
And when the adults asked them, they didn't say, it was just a smirk, which made everyone very strange.
This answer was answered after three days.
"Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! Freshly released Datang Daily!"
"Why the one-eyed Buck died on the street? Why are hundreds of beasts screaming in the middle of the night? Why are the soaps in the shops repeatedly black-handed? Why are the maid clothes of the Lord ’s Mansion missing ?? Man is the undead ?? What is hidden behind the death of the former Lord Hogg? Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality behind all this? To know the answer, please pay attention to the Datang Daily! "
On the streets of Ellington, a little boy ran and drank while carrying a shoulder bag slantingly. The words in his mouth attracted the attention on both sides of the road.
"Isn't this Witte? Why didn't you play with those little guys today? What newspaper did you sell?"
Witt grinned: "Uncle Leonard, should you come to a Datang Daily? There are a lot of interesting news on it."
Uncle Rainer of Witke is literate and should be a good client.
"Datang Daily?"
Leonard asked curiously, "What's that? What's the news?"
"The Datang Daily is a haircut newspaper of the Datang News Agency established by the Lord Lord. There are a lot of interesting news published on it. These recent interesting news are news. How about, are you interested in buying one? It ’s cheap, as long as A silver coin. "
"A silver coin !? Good boy, this newspaper is worth the ten candles I sell!"
"You can't say that," Witte retorted Renard with an unusually sharp teeth. "No matter how good the candle is, it can only be lit at night, but this newspaper can let you know the latest news of Ellington, and even the lord is published on it. The latest decree of adults, and a variety of job information, this information is invaluable, not to mention this newspaper is made of paper! Usually buy ten pieces of silver for a piece of paper, now only so much paper A silver coin can be used even after reading it, do you think it is really expensive? "
Leonard didn't really want to buy it at first, but it makes sense to hear Wit said. Usually, a piece of paper is so expensive. How many of these newspapers add up to a silver coin, which is a great deal!
"Okay, then give me a newspaper!"
Leonard has a candle shop, which is relatively affluent in Ellington, and it's nothing to buy a newspaper for a silver coin.
Several people nearby saw Leonard buy a newspaper and immediately came over: "Hey! Boss Leonard, what exactly is written on the newspaper?"
Renard enjoyed the attention-grabbing feeling and opened the newspaper and read it aloud.
"Today's front page headline news, Datang Steel Mill is about to be established, and new jobs are vacated. According to the lord Lord Tang En, the Datang Steel Mill is under construction and will be completed in a few days. The steel mill is newly established and requires a lot of work. Personnel, therefore, to send invitations to the whole of Ellington. As long as they have the ability, ideas, and intentions, men between the ages of 16 and 50 can go to the recruitment office outside the lord's office to sign up for recruitment. Once the training is completed, Successful entry, starting with a minimum salary of ten gold coins a month! In addition-- "
As soon as the headline was read, there was an uproar around.
"This steel mill is treated so well !?"
"From ten gold coins! When the Lord Lord recruited artisans, I also signed up, but only 13 girls were recruited. I thought the Lord Lord was partial, and only gave girls a chance. I did not expect that we have a chance now. It's up! "
"Oh my god, I must try it!"
"Boss Leonard! Read on !? What else !?"
Leonard saw everyone watching him anxiously, coughed proudly, and continued reading another piece of news.
"According to our investigation, the farmers' subsidy program promoted by the Lord Lord has been well received. Farmers in villages around Ellington have generally received real benefits. Iron farm tools have greatly accelerated their labor efficiency and allowed them more time. Enjoy life with my family, and even spare a lot of money to participate in the construction of Ellington ... "
"The caravan formed by the Datang Chamber of Commerce has recently taken our specialty mints and soaps to Shancheng Bayin. We plan to open stores in Bayin and at the same time establish a business route to bring more rich products to Ellington. And business opportunities ... "
"One-eyed Buck and his men died tragically on the street, because Miss Fiona used the precious fourth-order magic scroll, which is worth ..."
"In this newspaper's exclusive news, according to Miss Tina, who asked not to be named, there was a sad incident in the lord's house recently. All the maids' clothes in the lord's house were brutally killed. Among them, all clues directed the lord to the lord ... ... "
"what!?"
"impossible!?"
"how come!?"
As soon as the gossip news came out, everyone's enthusiasm was instantly ignited, one by one with wide eyes and staring at Leonard, and continued reading.
"Ahem, everyone wait for me to rest and read slowly."
Leonard felt very cool, deliberately fishing for their appetite, and wanted to continue enjoying the attention for a while.
Seeing this, Wit turned and shouted, "Everything you want to know is in the Datang Daily. You can buy it one by one without having to squeeze them together!"
After hearing Wit's shout, everyone came back to him and ran to him to buy newspapers. When Leonard came to his senses, he found that everyone had already bought the newspapers and had to read them in a hurry.
"What !? Sold out !?"
There were a few slow-moving ones who couldn't buy a newspaper, and they were in a hurry.
"Don't worry, everyone! I'm out of here, maybe Marshall and they are there!"
Wit shouted out loudly: "Our Little Ellington Newsboy will bring you a Datang Daily every day starting today! Limited quantity, please buy early!"
After shouting at Witt, he slipped.
As it was the first issue of the newspaper, Tang En didn't print a lot considering the habits of everyone, but it wasn't until he got the report from Wit in the evening that Tang En found that he had underestimated the acceptance ability of Ellington residents.
The 1,000 newspapers printed on the first day were all sold out!
This was far beyond what Tang En expected. In fact, when he finished printing the newspaper, he thought of a very important thing.
That is, newspapers use text as the main content carrier, and Ellington can't read so many people.
It now appears that Ellington's literacy rate is not too low.
However, considering the issue of popularization of words, after thinking about it for a moment, Tang En decided to start a second literacy column from the second issue of the newspaper to teach everyone how to read and how to read the newspaper.
This will not only propagate the policy to control public opinion, but also popularize the text, so that the average cultural level of Ellington can be improved.
"Good job, these are your salaries today."
Let them sell newspapers. One person's salary is ten silver coins a day, and a thousand newspapers are one hundred gold coins. After deducting the cost of the paper mill, the profit is amazing-unfortunately, Tang En didn't even care about this profit. More important is to control public opinion and increase the efficiency of news dissemination.
After they got the silver coins, Witter left happily. Selling newspapers can make money faster than digging mint grass. They can earn three gold coins for a month of newspaper sales. This was simply unthinkable in the past. A huge sum!
Fiona was surprised. "Newspaper, this is how you figure it out !?"
"How's the effect?"
"It's great! More than 50 people have just come to apply for jobs at the steel mill! Now the headache is how to screen them."
"Leave this to me. Remember, we don't have too many workers now!"
The steelmaking plant is the top priority, and the number of people is high. Tang En certainly doesn't mind hiring more people.
But at the same time, he also needs to find someone else to be responsible for the operation of the Datang Daily. As a lord, of course, it is impossible to stay there all day as an editor of a newspaper and write gossip news ...
