Five hundred and eighty-six, Songli Daily(1/2)
Of course, Uncle Xie Fang would not tell his clan members how jealous he was of the "Song of China News Agency".
He must stand on the verge of justice and point out his competitor's only weakness, the smell of money.
Uncle Xie Fang saw Zhao Ping's newspaper in his heart.
This not only has the effect of "establishing one's mind for the heaven and earth, pleading one's orders for the people, inheriting the unique knowledge for the past sages, and opening up peace for all ages", but also has almost been described as making money every day.
He is a prime minister and always analyzes things from a comprehensive macro perspective.
Zhao Ping let the literati in the world have almost a copy of the "China News Agency of the Great Song Dynasty" and hold the hearts of the scholars in the world firmly in their hearts.
If these literati wanted to be represented by the people of the world as before, how could they be as extensive as the "China News Agency of the Great Song Dynasty"?
When these literati were silly in the court, they thought they had represented the people of the world.
Zhao Ping only needs someone to say something lightly: "Slow down, the Great Song China News Agency has not spoken yet."
It is not difficult to resemble, are you literati representing the people, or are the "Song of China News" representing the people?
Even Zhao Ping did not have to arrange for people to be in the court. As long as he spoke through the "Song of China News", a large number of scholars would naturally follow him.
What made Uncle Xie Fang even more jealous was that Zhao Ping not only grasped the hearts of scholars and people in the world, but also gained the ability to make money every day.
Isn't it? There is a piece of advertisement in every issue of newspapers.
When Xie Fangshu saw that the "Great Song China Newspaper" gained both fame and fortune, his "Great Song Dynasty Paola" should have better results.
After all, the "Song of China News" was published in Sichuan in a remote western place, and it started with Changyuan County.
Changyuan County can be compared with Lin'an, obviously not.
Can Changzhou be compared with Lin'an? Also, can't.
Where is Lin'an? It is where heroes from all over the world gather.
Not only that, Xie Fangshu and Xu Qingsou also used their privileges to allocate a special amount from the court as a subsidy for the "Da Song Literature".
Uncle Xie Fang saw this, and as the political magistrate Xu Qingsou naturally saw this.
Both wanted to firmly grasp the control of the "Da Song Literature" in their hands. The result of the fight between the two sides was finally the only one who took Xie Fang to gain the upper hand.
After all, Xie Fangshu is the prime minister, and Xu Qingsou is just a political magistrate.
Uncle Xie Fang arranged for his tribe Xie Qi to be the shopkeeper, responsible for the publication and distribution of the "Da Song Literature".
Xu Qingsou arranged his clan member Xu Bu as editor-in-chief, responsible for compiling articles.
The two divided their work and worked together, were ambitious and determined to achieve something.
If the Song Dynasty Literature cannot overwhelm the Song Dynasty Chinese News, Xie Qi and Xu Bu feel that they should find a piece of tofu to jump into the river.
What is difficult at the beginning? Only when two people start to know.
The first thing is the source of the manuscript. Fortunately, there are a lot of Neo-Confucian talents in the court.
Not only Xie Fangshu, but Xu Qingsou has a large number of unpublished poems and articles, but even literati such as Chen Dafang also has a lot of manuscripts.
Xu Bu, editor-in-chief of the shopkeeper Xie Qi, is also a literati. Both of them are from the third class of juren, but they passed by the Jinshi.
Xie Fangshu and Xu Qingsou arranged for them to do things here in the Song Dynasty. This meant that they used the Song Dynasty Literature as a springboard and became a single official and half a job in the future.
Although Uncle Xie Fang is busy, the "Da Song Literature" has been paying attention to it.
Not only did he pay attention, but Xu Qingsou also paid attention.
This not only hit Zhao Ping, but also made their political achievements.
It took ten days to enter, and the "Big Song Literature" has not been published yet, so Uncle Xie Fang endured it.
Half a month passed, and Uncle Xie Fang could no longer bear it.
He asked Xie Zhong to call Xie Qi to Xie Mansion and directly ask about the reason.
Xie Qi lowered his face and came in pale. Although he bowed his hand, he spoke hesitantly: "Report to my husband that the newspaper can be published long ago, but, but."
"But, but what, this is my family, I can say nothing about it." Uncle Xie Fang was impatient. After all, it had been too long to waste time.
Xie Qi finally raised his face, and Uncle Xie Fang saw that he was pale and in a very poor spirit.
He gritted his teeth, bowed and said decisively: "Report to you, the cost of newspapers is extremely high. If you calculate carefully, each newspaper costs almost a hundred cents."
Bang bang, the teacup in Uncle Xie Fang's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the tea spread to his cloth shoes without feeling it.
"Isn't the "China News Agency of the Great Song Dynasty" a single article? Why are you so high?" Uncle Xie Fang couldn't believe his ears.
Xie Qi looked ashamed and couldn't help but lower his head: "Report to me that every issue is a carved version, and there is also a royalty fee. If you calculate it carefully, the cost will remain high."
At this time, Xie Zhong immediately picked up the teacup, cleaned it, and brewed another cup of tea for Uncle Xie Fang.
"I told my husband that Zizhi (Xie Qi) is a literati and is not very knowledgeable about business affairs. My husband, Zixin has been a shopkeeper and is proficient in arithmetic. It is better to let Zixin assist Zizhi." Seeing that the cost of "The Great Song Dynasty" is high, Xie Zhong took the opportunity to recommend his cousin Xie Cheng.
Uncle Xie Fang thought about it and looked at Xie Zhong and Xie Qi repeatedly, hoping to find clues.
Seeing Uncle Xie Fang's gaze, Xie Qi and Xie Zhong looked calm and signaled that they had not done anything wrong.
He never expected that the cost of the Great Song Dynasty was so high, and it could be said that the Great Song Dynasty Chinese News was in heaven and the underground.
It is still Xie Zhong’s right that Xie Qi is a pure literati and has difficulty controlling costs. It’s better to ask a shopkeeper to help him.
Thinking of this, Uncle Xie Fang nodded: "Sure."
Xie Qi knew that Xie Zhong had arranged for his people to come, but he actually wanted to monitor it, but he had no choice.
After all, he was just a literati before, and he was really not used to receiving this newspaper.
Fortunately, the Prime Minister was still the one who took the initiative and the person who came was just helping.
Xie Qi knew in his heart that although it was just assistance, it was actually a warning.
If the cost remains high, he, the shopkeeper, will really come to an end.
Five days passed again, and Uncle Xie Fang called Xie Qi to his home again.
"Report to my husband, the cost has finally dropped now, but it will cost at least twenty cents, and the circulation will cost more than a thousand copies." Xie Qi took Xie Zhong and reported to Uncle Xie Fang respectfully.
Uncle Xie Fang's tense face finally showed a smile: "Why was it so expensive before?"
"I reported to you that the carving version was calculated based on the sales volume of fifty books in the past, and the carving version was expensive. The cost of carving versions of fifty books and thousand copies of newspapers is the same. Now, based on the sales volume of thousands of newspapers, the cost is divided and the newspaper price is cheaper." Xie Qi looked at Xie Cheng, and reported to Uncle Xie with gratitude in his heart.
Uncle Xie Fang signaled the two of them to sit down, and the servant immediately served tea to them.
Seeing the two of them drinking tea, Uncle Xie Fang couldn't help asking: "The newspaper of Zhao Ping is only priced at one piece. Can you still be cheaper?"
Although this price is already cheap, it is still expensive compared to the "Song of China News Agency", twenty times more expensive than it is.
"Report to my husband that if the author does not want to write a pen, the price can drop to ten cents, and there is no way to drop again." Xie Qi and Xie Cheng looked at each other, stood up and bowed, and answered respectfully.
Uncle Xie Fang couldn't help but frowned. Zhao Ping gave the authors of "The Great Song Dynasty China News Agency".
If their "Da Song Literature" had no written works, I believe there would be no submissions in the future.
He couldn't help but stand up from the chair and circled around the desk.
He turned around, and Xie Qi and Xie Cheng had to get up from the chair.
The two looked at each other and found that they were all in fear.
Although Uncle Xie Fang did not criticize them, they also knew that the two were really incompetent and did not control the cost to the point where their husbands required them.
After Xie Fang's back and forth around the desk a few times, he looked at the expressions of the two, and knew that they had made the best efforts.
He thought for a while and finally said, "Let's do this, the author's pen is obviously not missing. It's not easy for the court to make a fortune. It's better to sell it at a price of ten cents."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing that Zhao Ping's newspaper was obviously making money, why did he get into his hands? Even if the court subsidies were added, the price was more than ten cents.
"As for orders, my husband, there is still another problem to report." Xie Qi and Xie Cheng looked at each other. This matter must be resolved, otherwise the "Great Song Dynasty Literature" would have to collapse.
Uncle Xie Fang couldn't help but frown. He had tried his best to solve the problem, so why did he still have to do my husband?
When Xie Qi saw Uncle Xie Fang frowned, he knew that something was wrong, but this matter had to be said.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and bowed: "My husband, the "Da Song Literature" priced ten cents, and the "Da Song Chinese News" priced only one cent, how can it be sold?"
Uncle Xie Fang was shocked. He really didn't think of this problem just now.
After all, the prices of the two newspapers are very different, and no one is willing to read them.
Thinking of this, he drank tea while tapping the table with his hands and fell into Keith.
"This is not too difficult. The court's newspapers were published in the "Da Song Literature". As long as it is an official, it must subscribe to the "Da Song Literature". This also saves the expenses of the newspaper. First, the authors who contribute to the "Da Song Literature" require each person to subscribe to the "Da Song Literature". Third, governments at all levels must subscribe to the "Da Song Literature". "Xie Fangshu had no choice but to use his power to try to add subscriptions to the "Da Song Literature".
In order to find a sales channel for the "Da Song Dynasty", Xie Qi and Xie Cheng almost turned white in their hair.
My husband is my husband, and I will find sales directly for them.
The two of them couldn't help but be overjoyed, stood up together, and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Qi."
Zuichunfeng Teahouse is a high-end teahouse in Lin'an because it only sells Zuichunfeng.
Of course, people who can afford to open teahouses are extraordinary, and they are said to be people in the palace.
On this day, the tea shop’s tea shop was talking about the “Da Song Libao”.
