February is a good month with spring, and there are some busy spring swallows in the capital. On the eaves of the Mansion Office, two spring swallows pecked at the new mud and built a new nest there.

A girl in constable costume came in from outside, stood under the eaves with her bun face squinted, looked at the new nest for a while, and suddenly hurried into the Mansion Chief's Office.

Hu Niu is particularly interested in the bird's nest. She will come over to take a look at the nesting situation of the bird's nest almost every day, so she finally turns to seeing the bird's nest and taking a look at her brother.

Lin Ran, wearing a crimson official uniform, was discussing things with Li Yunhu. Seeing Hu Niu hurriedly walking in from outside, she stopped talking and looked at the wild girl in a constable suit.

Since the last time he offered his treasure, Hu Niu has entered Shuntian Prefecture with justification and followed Leizhou City and Guangzhou City, often leading the constables to patrol the streets.

In just this short time, the people in the north of the city already knew Hu Niu's reputation, the sister of a very righteous Manchu.

What is helpless is that people in this era like to treat father and son or family as a whole, believing that "there is the same father as the same son as the one", thinking that Hu Niu is full of justice, and that Hu Niu's brother will not be much worse.

The same is true. His reputation as the Shuntian Prefecture Chief has improved due to Hu Niu.

"Brother, the swallow nest outside is almost built. Do you want to take a look?" Hu Niu pointed outside and said with a serious and crisp voice.

Li Yunhu had a good impression of Hu Niu. Hearing the air, he looked up at the door, but he was only here, so he naturally didn't plan to go out to make up for this childlike fun.

"What's the point of looking at Yan's Nest? It's noisy. I'll stab it another day!" Lin Ran would not join in with this kind of childlike fun, and said helplessly and maliciously.

Hu Niu's eyes glared slightly, and she never expected that she would get this result with good intentions. She immediately warned very seriously: "Brother, this swallow nest cannot be poked. The swallow nest will bring you good luck."

"This is completely unscientific statement. You can't believe others' words so easily!" Lin Ran naturally did not believe this statement, and seemed helpless to warn him.

Hu Niu frowned, and she seemed to argue: "Oh! Why is there no scientific basis? When our family was poor, we didn't have a swallow's nest at home, and our family couldn't even eat enough. Later, our family built a new house and swallows came to build their nests immediately. Do you see if we are getting better and better now?"

At the end of the day, Hu Niu's pink and jade carving was full of seriousness, revealing her iconic "Don't lie to you" expression.

Lin Ran looked at her speaking seriously, and even her beautiful big eyes showed a faint nervousness, so he took a step back and said, "What do you mean by it, but whether our family is powerful or not depends mainly on our brother and sister, not a swallow's nest."

"Of course we have to work hard, but the swallow nest can bring us good luck, so this swallow nest must not be poked... This is what my mother said." Hu Niu insisted on her own opinion and emphasized with a final conclusion.

Li Yunhu smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, we in Guangdong do have this statement. Building a nest in spring swallows can indeed bring good luck!"

"Brother, have you heard that Mr. Li said that this swallow's nest cannot be stabbed!" Hu Niu received help and immediately warned with confidence.

"Okay, okay, just don't poke it!" Lin Ran really wanted to poke this Yan's nest, so he wouldn't do such a thing helplessly, just to make a quick talk.

Hu Niu narrowed her eyes, but she kept a little suspicion and stared at Lin Ran with vigilance.

Lin Ran ignored the wild girl and turned to Li Yunhu and said, "Mr. Li, I will have a lot of trouble for you in the matter of Shuntian Daily."

In order to solve the financial problems of the Shuntian Prefecture Capture Office and to recruit more fast-track yamen runners, Lin Ran decided to launch the Shuntian Daily to generate income.

The Shuntian Daily is different from "Talking about the Ancient and the Current". It is similar to the newspapers of later generations, mainly publishing the latest information. The people it faces are mainly low-level scholars, even ordinary people.

In order to make this newspaper famous in one go, Lin Ran has collected a lot of materials in recent days and has carefully prepared a lot of important content.

But Lin Ran never believed in the "scent of wine is not afraid of deep alleys". If Shuntian Daily can quickly open up the market in Beijing, it requires both enough gimmicks and complete sales channels.

Fortunately, he has the experience of founding "Talking about the Ancient and the Current" in the past and has resources in this area, so he seems more handy when doing things.

Not to mention anything else, just printing equipment has advantages that others cannot match.

Due to cost reasons, many workshops also use plate-making printing technology, which adopts the most advanced movable type printing technology, and also uses wood movable type and clay movable type.

Not only does wood and mud have a short service life, but its printing quality is even more satisfactory. You have to even guess when reading, which greatly affects readers' reading experience.

The best material is naturally copper movable type printing technology, which can reduce a lot of trouble for readers and help readers' favorability. However, there is a difficulty here. Since Chinese characters evolve from shapes, each character has a form, which requires hundreds of thousands of copper molded characters.

In addition, in order to meet the requirements of the Taifu for calligraphy, he even had to prepare several characters in one character. For example, if you seal Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection", you had to prepare twenty-one characters "zhi".

A simple set of copper movable type printing equipment costs tens of thousands of silver, but it is not something that ordinary workshops can afford, and Shuntian Prefecture is also unable to bear it.

But these problems about money were solved in front of Lin Ran. Of course, they were not purchased by themselves, but they had to use the production workshop "Talking about the Ancient and the Current".

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured. I will do my best to do this!" Li Yunhu hurriedly agreed in the face of the burden given by Lin Ran.

Shuntian Daily uses Shuyazhai to promote it, not to mention the amazing profits contained therein, but just what Lin Ran told him, he would definitely do his best.

Lin Ran is not only the Chief of Shuntian Prefecture, but also the soul of their joint business group. Even if he loses in the Shuntian Daily, it will be beneficial to Lin Ran's career, which is a good deal.

After Lin Ran explained some details, he personally sent Li Yunhu to the door of the duty room.

The Shuntian Daily not only concerns whether the recruitment of the fast-track yamen runners can be expanded, but also involves his future political resources, so he actually attaches great importance to this matter.

"Mr. Lin, please stay!" Li Yunhu respected Lin Ran from the bottom of his heart. After crossing the threshold, he did not dare to let Lin Ran give him one more step. He thought he could not bear it and quickly stopped him sincerely.

"Mr. Li, go slowly!" Lin Ran did not choose to continue to be related and raised his hand and said with a smile.

Li Yunhu gave a gift and then turned around and left, intending to go back to plan the promotional matters of Shuntian Daily.

Lin Ran watched Li Yunhu leave and was about to turn back to the duty room, but when he looked at a sneaky figure in the yard, he couldn't help but feel happy.

But Hu Niu bent slightly and was quietly sending the bamboo poles that were originally piled in the corner of the yard away through a window, away from the swallow's nest on the eaves.
