Chu Tianxiu immediately sent someone to the Qinhuai River mist and rainy pleasure boat and also called Xie Anran, the half-drunk and half-awake prince.

Xie Anran was a little confused. Didn’t this little husband go to Danyang County to take office? Why did he come back to Jinling City in a blink of an eye?

However, Xie Anran did not ask.

Xiao Hunhou is a man who works, and he is a playboy and follows him. He does whatever he wants, and no one can stop him. The county magistrate's job is too simple and he has little to do.

The four major playboys in Jinling are finally all together.

They gathered at Hongmen Inn to discuss how to run a "Da Chu Mansion Newspaper".

The whole idea was created by Chu Tianxiu, so he was naturally the one who led the arrangement.

After hearing Chu Tianxiu's idea of ​​"picking news, opening his eyes, and talking about the road", Xie Anran immediately woke up from half drunk, full of energy and became interested.

This collection of news will be fresh.

It's a bit like doing intelligence, but this is intelligence that is made public.

Xie Anran is idle anyway, so he doesn't mind doing anything novel.

Chu Tianxiu summoned all the people and immediately divided the work for the four of them.

"Crown Prince, you are responsible for applying to the emperor to allow the public application of this "Da Chu Mansion Newspaper". It is very important to obtain the emperor's personal words and the official authorization of the court.

Our residence will publish the government affairs of the court and the comments of the court officials.

Otherwise, this mansion newspaper may be sealed off by the government at any time because of "criticizing current corruption and mocking court officials".

Prince, you are one of the four organizers. Only by obtaining the emperor's permission can the "Da Chu Palace Newspaper" rest assured."

Chu Tianxiu said.

Although it was a private newspaper, the prince personally came forward to run the newspaper, which was equivalent to a semi-official newspaper.

Xiang Tiange patted his chest, "Just leave this matter to me!"

Opening up the road to speech is a great political achievement.

As the prince of Great Chu, he had no choice but to do so.

"Shen Wanbao gave paper and silver as an early investment in the "Da Chu Di Daily". The money sold by this newspaper will be replenished first. If you earn extra money, the four of us will share the extra money."

Chu Tianxiu came to Shen Wanbao.

"Okay, no problem!"

Shen Wanbao nodded.

The Shen family has money, but they are afraid that there will be no industry to invest. This investment will probably not exceed a few thousand taels of silver, so it is naturally no problem.

"Xie Anran relied on his connections to organize a group of people to collect news from all over the world. He summarized the news from all over the world and edited it.

I am responsible for the editing and editing of news content, as well as large-scale publication and printing.”

Chu Tianxiu said.

Only he has a large printing factory, and knows how to make thousands of newspapers and tens of thousands of documents for the shortest time.

If someone else has a different idea, he will not be able to report it out.

Xie Anran carefully calculated and found that it was extremely difficult to collect news. He asked: "Xiao Hunhou, if we want to get all kinds of news from the entire Great Chu and the Western Regions countries, the scope is too large, and the manpower is consumed, which is probably hundreds or thousands, and the cost is too great."

The court had a complex intelligence system, a censor inspected the world, and a post station to transmit military and political information, but this was supported by the finances of the entire Great Chu.

If you collect all the news in the world, it will be even better than the imperial intelligence agencies.

This obviously cannot be done.

The expenses of hiring people alone cannot be afforded.

Chu Tianxiu thought about it, and he wanted to slowly support and grow stronger, and said:

"Short down the scope of collecting news and start from Jinling City!

Record some current affairs and hot news.

Then the comments from senior officials of the court were posted in the residence newspaper.

Find ten clever scholars, walk around the streets and collect news about the family, nobles and people in Jinling City.

They are all local interesting news, they must have read it fresh and like it.

First print out the first edition of the "Da Chu Di Daily".

The prince took this residence newspaper to the emperor. Only when the emperor was satisfied with it would approve the publication of the Great Chu residence newspaper as soon as possible.”

The dispute between the two major factions of the imperial court is already starting a war around the "Senior Eve".

Chu Tianxiu needs to take out a position "Da Chu Di Daily" that can be used for him to curse as much as possible.

Otherwise, with his mouth, how could he curse so many imperial officials?

...

Do it as soon as you say it.

The four of them were busy and immediately separated.

Xie Anran recruited more than a dozen scholars to collect news in Jinling City.

As the eldest grandson of the prime minister of the Xie family and the princess and son-in-law, he is a very good figure in Jinling City. He can get all the gossip news from major families and nobles.

In the past, in Jinling City, such news could only be passed on word of mouth and asked about each other.

Now I just posted it in the newspaper and spread it directly throughout Jinling City. There is no need to inquire.

Chu Tianxiu rented a building on Changle Street in Jinling City and formed the editorial department of the "Da Chu Di Daily" to reorganize and type the collected news.

Typesetting is lined up vertically.

The scholars of the Great Chu Dynasty were used to bamboo slips, and their handwriting was always viewed from the top to the bottom. This bad habit lasted for two thousand years.

In order to make "The Great Chu Palace" attractive enough, Chu Tianxiu simply added the first chapter of "The Story of the Stone" into it and prepared to conduct a long-term serialization.

This can also warm up the "Stone Story".

Then, Chu Tianxiu sent the first edition of the newspaper to a large printing factory outside the city for printing.

In the printing workshop of Hunhou, the old craftsman Lu and his group of apprentices had already completed the preliminary construction. He carved tens of thousands of movable type inks and was preparing to print the manuscript for the first half of "The Story of Stone".

Printing the "Da Chu Di News" is a convenient thing.

In the printing workshop, many craftsmen were working hard.

...

Under Chu Tianxiu's strong push, Di Bao was extremely efficient.

Three days later.

The first newspaper of the Great Chu Dynasty, the Great Chu Mansion, was released.

Although it is far from reaching the level of understanding the whole world with a "Da Chu Di Daily" in hand, it is still very useful to understand the various news in Jinling City.

Prince Xiang Tiange got the first page of "The Great Chu Palace" and looked at the exquisite newspaper, which was incredible.

Just like seeing an exquisite handicraft, it was created by him by himself, and I couldn't help but feel moved to cry.

Xie Anran and Shen Wanbao were both shocked and stunned.

The thick stack of "Da Chu Mansion Newspaper" brought by Chu Tianxiu was as many as 3,000 copies.

The scholars of Dachu were used to hand-written books all their lives. Even if they were the same person, their handwriting would change and be different.

But the handwriting on these three thousand newspapers is exactly the same.

Just like a mold, carved.

"Is this what you are talking about printing?...This is amazing. Since you can print newspapers, you should be able to print books!"

Xie Anran was amazed.

They heard Xiao Hunhou talk about printing, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.

Now that I have seen the "Da Chu Di Daily" with my own eyes, I realized that printing technology is so magical.

"You can definitely print books! The scholars of Dachu, with this treasure, don't have to work hard to copy books. Just print books directly... Yes, selling books seems to be able to earn money!"

Chen Wanbao said in surprise.

Chu Tianxiu nodded and smiled, "Yes, this is printing. First carve the characters out, and then print them directly on paper... In this way, you can copy thousands of copies in one day. It is not comparable to copying books."

There is nothing to hide from this.

The handwriting of Di Bao is exactly the same. After thinking about it for a moment, I understand that this was printed.

Just like the official seal, no matter how it is printed, the seals are exactly the same.

However, the two processes of engraving printing and movable type printing are only separated by a layer of paper, but there is a huge difference in efficiency, and no one can see it.

Most people may instinctively feel that this is carving and printing, and it is difficult to think of movable type printing.

This thing called "Dibao" is efficiency!

The imperial censorate had 40 or 50 censors, and each of them could scold him.
Chapter completed!
