Chapter 319 The Times of the Han Empire

Time flies fast!

After another master was added, Yan Liqiang's cultivation in Luyuan became more tense and arduous. During his days in Luyuan, Yan Liqiang had no more half a minute of leisure except for eating, sleeping and practicing every day.

Not only in reality, Yan Liqiang is in a state of tension every day, but even in the realm of the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm, but even so, Yan Liqiang will leave Luyuan once every three days, return to the imperial capital, meet with Fang Beidou Hu Haihe and others last time, and discuss and solve various problems that need to be solved when the first newspaper is released.

During this period, Yan Liqiang also visited Xu Enda several times, and Xu Enda's injuries were getting better and better day by day. When Yan Liqiang went there for the second time, Xu Enda could even get out of bed and walk around. Xiao Wu and a few young people all started to help in the village on Longqi Mountain under the arrangement of Fang Beidou.

Hu Haihe asked his friends in the Imperial Capital to pay attention to Guo Si's whereabouts, but he didn't know if Guo Si knew that he had committed a crime and escaped from the Imperial Capital. There was no news.

Several literary craftsmen hired by the newspaper were soon in place, and Yan Liqiang even presided over the interview himself...

The sources of information Hu Haihe searched for in the imperial capital have also begun to provide Hu Haihe with various information he had found...

Several craftsmen in the printing workshop also quickly got into the state. After fiddling several times, some of the printing tools originally used to print books in the workshop also made some improvements and adjustments according to Yan Liqiang's requirements, becoming more suitable for printing on newspaper pages.

On the evening of June 30, 2013, the printing workshop in Longqi Mountain was brightly lit. Yan Liqiang, Fang Beidou and others all opened their eyes wide, holding their breath, staring at the cut gray hemp paper, passing through the two iron traps with ink, pressing them, and then in a blink of an eye, the front and back sides of the bare paper were suddenly covered with text...

"Boss, this time, there is absolutely no problem..." The master in the printing workshop respectfully handed the first printed newspaper to Yan Liqiang.

Starting from noon today, the printing workshop began to tinker with this matter. I tried printing several times before, because the craftsmen in the workshop printed such a large piece of paper for the first time. The layout of a newspaper after the unfolded was almost seven or eight times larger than that of ordinary books. The printed newspapers were more or less problematic. However, several craftsmen in the workshop continued to adjust the movable type and layout. After a few trials, when Yan Liqiang came to the printing workshop later, the craftsmen in the printing workshop finally took out the first printed newspaper and took out the first printed newspaper.

The newspaper was held in his hand, light and without the heaviness of creating history. The gray hemp paper used to print newspapers was a little different from the news papers of his previous life. The quality of movable type printing is not as good as the publications produced by Yan Liqiang in his previous life, and there are no vivid pictures. However, the thing in his hand is indeed a newspaper with clear handwriting, with newspaper heads and dates, and there are various news and news in each page. There are no mistakes in the typesetting and carving of the entire newspaper.

The header on the front of the newspaper is a few big characters from the Han Empire Times.

Below the header is the time when the newspaper is ready to be officially released, that is, tomorrow, July 1, 13, Yuanping, the Great Han Empire.

Below this time, there is a line of embossed small characters. This line of small characters is the purpose of the Han Empire Times to connect with all parties and communicate information. It is neither party nor private, and can be read or appreciated.

On the entire page of the front page of the newspaper, there is only a row of thick fonts, and there is only one message on it warmly congratulates the Han Empire Times for its launch today.

Several other pages outside the front page are published with some information that Yan Liqiang and others have just collected.

In the current affairs version, there is a notice that the Ministry of Revenue is preparing to recruit craftsmen to rebuild the drainage culvert in the north city of the imperial capital, as well as the latest changes in the appointment and removal of the governors of the two states in the Han Empire.

On the Minsheng Edition, there is news about a new Yunfeng Rice Store in Tonghuifang, Dijing. In order to attract popularity, the shopkeeper of the rice shop gave a discounted price for rice. Starting yesterday, you can enjoy discounts when you go to the Yunfeng Rice Store to buy rice for ten consecutive days. In addition to this, there is also news about the recent harvest of peaches and plums around Jinling City on the Minsheng Edition...

In the entertainment version, it was reported that Yan Feifei, one of the "famous prostitutes" in the Imperial Capital, was preparing to perform a new rehearsal on the Imperial Capital Yanyu Tower two days later.

What is reported on the article is the process of the navy of the far-off Qiongzhou land of the Han Empire exterminated the pirates last year...

...

Although he had already known what the content in the newspaper was, at this time, Yan Liqiang carefully read all the content in the newspaper. There was no terrifying news or content on each page of the first issue, and the content of each page was stable. But even so, if these things were combined together, this newspaper was also a great innovation of this era.

"Today, everyone in the printing workshop has worked hard. Master Guo rewarded 3 taels of silver, and everyone else rewarded 1 tael of silver. I hope everyone will continue to work hard in the future and strive for excellence to print our newspaper well!" Yan Liqiang handed the first printed newspaper to Fang Beidou, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the craftsmen in the entire printing workshop cheered suddenly.

Fang Beidou looked at the newspaper and handed the newspaper to several literary craftsmen next to him who were stretching their necks. Hu Haihe and Xiao Wu and others rushed over, and they were curious to see what the first newspaper they had printed looked like.

"I didn't expect that the things written by someone in our house were printed one day. This... this is also considered a book and can be passed on to future generations..." An old man held the newspaper handed over by Fang Beidou, and his hands were trembling, extremely excited, and tears were shed. Several literati who held pens to write the contents of the newspaper were also very excited when they saw the things they wrote were printed on the paper. They probably would be difficult for outsiders to understand their excitement and excitement.

Although Hu Haihe and others were curious about their eyes, they were not as excited as those literary craftsmen. Several people looked at the newspaper and looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, as if they were full of doubts and doubts about the money they could sell.

Yan Liqiang winked at Fang Beidou and the two walked out of the workshop.

There is a courtyard outside the workshop. At this moment, the sky is full of stars. In the flower beds and trees in the yard, there are birds singing and insects chirping.

"Is this... really effective?" Fang Beidou didn't ask when there were many people, for fear of affecting morale. But now there are only two people together, so Fang Beidou was a little unsure. After all, this can be considered a new thing. Although he participated in this thing, his confidence was not as strong as Yan Liqiang.

"As long as we do well, it will definitely work!" Yan Liqiang nodded with certainty.

“How many copies of the first newspaper will be printed?”

"Print 3,000 copies first. If the sales volume is good, we will increase the number of printing in the next issue!"

"Okay! Just follow what you said. Print the newspaper here overnight tonight. I will take it to a few points in the city tomorrow morning, and then send it down to sell it in various restaurants and teahouses!"

"Well, basically that's it. I will come here tomorrow afternoon if I have time. I'll talk about what happens when there is any situation!" Yan Liqiang patted Fang Beidou on the shoulder and blinked, "By the way, I'll leave me a copy of this first newspaper and keep it. This is the first copy of the world. Maybe it's very valuable in the future. Okay, I'll leave it to you here, so I'll go back to Luyuan first..."

After explaining to Fang Beidou, Yan Liqiang left Zhuangzi and returned to Luyuan. Yan Liqiang did not rest in the afternoon. After completing the afternoon practice, he rushed over without eating dinner. Now that the matter has finally settled, Yan Liqiang felt completely relieved.
Chapter completed!
