Chapter 327: Subtly educating the people?

Chapter 327

If you want to run a long-term and stable newspaper and not be suppressed by the official, you naturally have to go through the road of the government first.

But the problem is that Wang Yang has no official path to go. Since there is no path, then just take the upper level route directly and be a today.

"You want to run a tabloid?" In the Duan Palace, Zhao Xu looked at Wang Yang in front of him with some amusement. He really couldn't figure out why this guy was thinking about making up for that thing.

A few days ago, I just took out a bunch of the second couplets, which made countless literati and wise men in the entire Bianliang cultural circle speechless. In just a few days, I actually came out to write a tabloid again.

"Your Majesty, what Wang wants to do is not the kind of tabloid that uses current affairs and news to scare people. What Wang wants to do is a newspaper that can be appreciated by both the elite and the masses, but also educate the people... Please read it, this is a sample manuscript..." Wang Yang said seriously for a long time before he took out two stacked sample manuscripts from his arms.

One was handed to Zhao Xu, and the other one was naturally handed over to Zhao Ji. Zhao Xu looked at it with interest for a few more times, and immediately realized the difference between Wang Yang's tabloid.

"The words are so small, and such a newspaper can't be four or five thousand words?" Zhao Ji said loudly. Well, this guy left the Gongyuan two days ago, and after returning to the mansion, he slept for a whole day before he recovered.

After hearing that Wang Yang was going to find the emperor to discuss matters, he invited the official family to the mansion to have a small gathering.

"It's about 4,700 words. I'm going to hold the previous issue every five days, and the number of words in each issue is about that many." Wang Yang nodded and said.

"This is really fresh. I actually recorded what farmers are suitable for doing in this season on paper. There is also this strategy. I remember that it seems to be a relatively famous strategy when I was the first imperial examination since the founding of the Song Dynasty. I didn't expect you to publish this article..."

Zhao Xu was excited to see the end of the fourth edition from the beginning, and then he smashed his mouth. "What you have here is indeed interesting. I didn't expect that the tabloid could do this..."

"There are farming and serenity education to educate the people, and there are also strategies to discuss knowledge to attract scholars. These novels and legends are entertaining the eyes and ears. This travel notes in foreign countries really opened my horizons. I didn't expect that there was such a country outside of my Song Dynasty... but there is still somewhere else?"

Wang Yang nodded. "Of course there are, but you will not be able to see it until the next issue of the newspaper."

When Wang Yang said this, Zhao Xu was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but laugh. "If you do this, you'll be very happy. Don't forget it, you'll give me one."

"Your Majesty, Wang has another unkind request. I want to issue it every five days, so this newspaper is called "Tokyo Houbao". Well, I hope Your Majesty can leave behind the treasure..." After Wang Yang smiled, he expressed his purpose of asking the Emperor to come down.

"The other is to hope that your majesty, can you say hello to the Menxia Shengkeshen who specializes in reviewing the newspaper..."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but be a little surprised. "You are worried about these things about you, it's impossible."

"Your Majesty, if this newspaper is only three to five thousand copies per issue, it would be fine, but if its sales increase by ten or even a hundred times, and it will not only be distributed in Tokyo Bianliang in the future?"

"Will it be that exaggerated?" Zhao Xu smashed his mouth. When he thought of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies, the amount was too outrageous...

"It's not an exaggeration, but very likely. Your Majesty, you think that those tabloids that attract attention can be sold for 20 to 30,000 copies, or even 70,000 copies.

The newspapers Wang run not only have much more content than them, but more importantly, they almost not only meet the needs of scholars, but even ordinary people can read the stories above for entertainment…”

"And this newspaper can also record some famous sayings or stories that encourage people to be loyal, filial, benevolent, righteous, loyal, and patriotism, to open up people's wisdom and correct people's customs..."

Before, Zhao Xu was just smiling and interested, but for this Emperor of Song Dynasty, he only felt that the tabloids Wang Yang made were just Wang Yang's personal interests.

But after hearing Wang Yang's words, Zhao Xu's face also became so different, and his expression became serious. "What do you mean is this newspaper also serve as an educational function?"

"This is natural, so Wang thought about these newspapers and recorded the farming and sericulture events in accordance with the seasons, just to see if it can be effective." Of course, Wang Yang could not guarantee the case, but he started with the farming. After all, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were very concerned about the farming.

"Since that's the case, I will tell you the other side." Zhao Xu nodded heavily after pondering for a while and replied.

Wang Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With Zhao Xu's nodding and approval, this matter was mostly done.

"Huh...sir, except for the things that encourage farming and sericulture, which are excerpted from agricultural books, and those strategies and arguments are extracted from past classics, these are all created by you?" Zhao Ji suddenly asked at this time.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but subconsciously glance at the serialized novels, even those life tips, and the last travel notes of the nations. He couldn't help but feel a big slumber in his heart.

"It's not all. It's mostly the stories of gods and ghosts I heard from the folks in the countryside. It's nothing." Wang Yang laughed dryly and shook his head.

But even so, the brothers Zhao Xu and Zhao Ji were still shocked. Zhao Xu felt more and more that Wang Yang was so talented that he only used to make money from a tabloid that fell into the eyes of others and was just used to make money. What he was considering was how to educate the people.

What is important is that the "Yuanyou Printing Technique" he had previously presented to him. This made Zhao Xu, the Emperor of Song Dynasty, look forward to whether this newspaper can play the role of subtle education of the people as Wang Wushan said.

Three days later, the first issue of the Bianliang Houbao finally took place in Tokyo Bianliang. There were 5,000 copies. Wang Yang asked the Cuju Club to send a group of younger brothers to help them to distribute them in various places in Bianliang in the Song Dynasty. He also set up distribution points in the Wanhong boutique garment store and Yihonglou.

I also noticed that the first five issues of newspapers are free. What’s important is that the four words “Bianliang Hou News” were actually written by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, which really scared many people who received the newspaper.

Can this be called a tabloid? Can it be the kind of tabloid that will be scattered when the government sees it? The emperor of the great Song Dynasty has all appeared on it.

Moreover, the content format is very novel. Whether it is interesting novels, content that encourages agriculture, sericulture, and seasonal seasons, or the selection of policy excerpts from classics, people are really amazed.

The last travel notes of the nations also made people's eyes shine. The original country of those white-skinned monkeys was different from that of our Song Dynasty.

Hey, there are words in the middle of this place. On one side, the middle slot is an advertisement for Nawanhong boutique garment store, and on the other side, it is an announcement about the new program recently rehearsed by Yihonglou.
