Chapter 476: The advent of the newspaper

Chen Luo had seen the port of Latu City, and people appeared on the streets of Latu City, slowly strolling around the city.
Great changes have taken place in the urban landscape at this time and more than 20 years ago. Chen Luo saw the ubiquitous workshops, textile workshops, military workshops, steel-making workshops, alchemy workshops and various All kinds of handmade workshops.
As the steam engine spread from the kingdom of Buya to the mainland of Yani, and after more than 20 years of continuous improvement, the production efficiency has continued to increase. The steam engine has gradually become the main production tool of major workshops and completely changed the traditional production method.
What followed was that the goods in the store became more and more abundant, and many unprecedented items appeared, such as the most important books.
In the past, the knowledge of the Western fantasy world could only be preserved by transcripts, but since Joseph, the dean of the Joseph Alchemy Academy "invented" the movable type printing technology ten years ago, coupled with the gradual popularization of papermaking, the paper workshop Everywhere.
Books, which were originally only treasured by nobles, were gradually affordable in the Weimar kingdom.
The mental appearance of people in this Latu city is also very different from other human cities. The working class can be seen everywhere on the street. Working in the workshop, the workers have become Latu city. Among the most important and largest class.
In addition to being more refined, they are also full of confidence in the future.
Obviously working in the workshop has brought hope and great changes to their lives.
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! Weimar's current affairs! The third prince Austin Carter was made the crown prince by His Majesty the King!"
"An accidental explosion occurred in the gunpowder workshop. At least 30 workers were killed or injured!"
"Legend of King Sword Dynasty King Dupu Proll serialized for the twenty-first period! Written by the famous minstrel Hampton in ten years and personally visited 17 countries! The wonderful content should not be missed!"
"Your Majesty the King issued a decree that all apprentices of the Joseph Alchemy College will be able to interview for jobs in the National Workshop after graduation, have a formal establishment status, and receive national treatment."
"Joseph Alchemy College's enrollment information for this year has been released! Come and see!"
Several newsboys held or carried a large bag sewed with hemp cloth, and ran on the streets of Latu city, shouting at the corner of the crossroads.
They screamed all kinds of attractive shouts, attracted a large number of passers-by, and pulled out coins to buy newspapers.
"Wow, has the three princes been finally crowned as the crown prince, and has been fighting those two high princes for more than ten years!"
"Hush, are you dying, dare you say that?"
"Everyone knows that the three princes are wise, what dare not say!"
"Forget it, you are not afraid of death, I am afraid!"
Some of the people who got the newspaper on the street cried loudly in surprise, while others whispered.
Some people who bought the newspaper immediately gathered a lot of people around them. They all rushed to watch the content of the newspaper, and some asked literate friends to read the above.
For a time, many people quickly gathered around the people who got the newspaper.
With the promotion of printing, the price of books has been kept low, which has also given civilians the opportunity to learn knowledge, especially the establishment of a large number of alchemy schools, so that knowledge is no longer a monopoly of nobles and rich people.
Even low-level civilians can buy books and have the opportunity to learn and learn.
A year ago, the dean of the Joseph Alchemy College "invented" such things as newspapers, which were originally used for learning and communication within the Alchemy College.
But with the passage of time, the novelty of the newspaper spread outside the college and was welcomed by a large number of civilians. It immediately caused a huge impact in the city of Latu and even in the Weimar Kingdom.
After realizing the horrifying influence of the newspaper, the Weimar Kingdom immediately realized that this was a very lethal thing, and quickly forced most of the newspaper workshops to the royal family.
Except for a few newspaper workshops because of the large nobility and the support of Joseph Alchemy College, they were preserved.
These newspapers are not published every day, but irregularly, sometimes only once every ten days and a half month, and are all major political news, so every time a newspaper boy appears, there will be a large number of people buying.
"Bring me a newspaper."
Chen Luo smiled and waved at the newspaper boy.
The newspaper boy immediately handed a newspaper with a smile, "Sir, two silver coins."
Chen Luo was a little surprised. He did not expect that the price of newspapers would be so expensive. Even in a fairly affluent area like Latu City, two silver coins are equivalent to the daily living expenses of an ordinary family. The average family is really reluctant buy.
Chen Luo smiled and threw a gold coin to the newspaper boy. He took a newspaper from him and said casually, "No need to find it."
The newspaper boy hurriedly took the gold coins. He first held it in his hand to determine the true and false. After confirming that it was true, he hurriedly chased it up, "Sir, I am looking for your money."
Chen Luo stopped in surprise, turned around and glanced at the newspaper boy. From his dress, he could see that it should be from a poor family.
For him, a gold coin should be regarded as a windfall. He was unmoved, and he still had to find money for him.
"Don't say, don't need to find it."
The newspaper boy bowed towards Chen Luo, "Thank you sir, but I only get what I deserve, and you can give me this gold coin, I can't keep it."
Chen Luo couldn't help laughing, he just glanced at the surroundings to understand what was going on.
There are a lot of scumbags in the vicinity, who are clearly identified as rogue bullies, and they are looking at this with their eyes, and the eyes are referring to the gold coins in the hands of the newspaper boy.
No matter in what era, there will always be darkness, especially now that Latu City is developing so fast, countless people have become rich overnight, creating a lot of wealth myths, and naturally bringing a lot of desperate people trying to make a fortune.
Chen Luo found it interesting. He reached over and took the gold coin, then took out two silver coins and handed them to the newspaper boy.
"Is this all right?"
"Thank you, sir."
At this time, Chen Luo noticed that the sight of those rogue-like people had moved away from the newspaper boy, but had shifted to him.
Chen Luo shook his head with a smile. Most of these people were gang forces like Latu City. After they saw the newspaper boy returning the gold coins back, they dared not pay attention to him.
The reason is also very simple. Today's newspaper workshops are not royal, but they are supported by the aristocracy and alchemy colleges.
Newsboys are equal to their employees. Although they are not regular employees, these gang members who are hiding in the gutter must not dare to use their money.
However, the extra money received by the newspaper boy and Chen Luo's apparently outsider appearance are not included here.
