Chapter 32 Excellent response!

The content of the Song Dynasty Weekly is distributed to various branch newspapers, typesetting in various branches, and then printing it overtime.

The printed newspapers were immediately distributed to government offices, schools, agencies, central bank service areas, Agricultural Bank fulcrums and other places in various places, waiting to be viewed.

All these work is being completed quickly, but Ouyang Bian and others who are in Bianjing City cannot know the reactions of various ways for a while, but the reactions of readers in Bianjing City can be seen.

Newspapers are delivered for free, but they are not delivered on the street at will, but are distributed through various institutions.

Some of them are placed in the bookstore, so the owner of the bookstore will naturally not give it away for free, and that is to be sold for sale.

Those scholars who have no channels to get newspapers can only see the true face of newspapers in bookstores.

Ouyang Bian was more concerned about this matter. The Song Dynasty Weekly was related to his future plans, so it was crucial to whether the first newspaper was popular, so he went to the bookstore to keep an eye on it.

The reaction on the first day was mediocre. Only after someone came in and saw it would excitefully pay for a few copies, but this kind of thing would take time to ferment.

The next day, the bookstore had not opened, and there were crowds of people outside. The boss lay on the wall and peeked at it, and found that it was either a scholar or a scary person. It was probably sent by some masters to buy it.

As soon as the bookstore owner opened the door, the newspapers in the bookstore were sold out.

Such a scene occurs in many bookstores in Bianjing City.

The news was fed back to the Dasong Weekly Newspaper, and Zeng Gong immediately organized the printing.

Ouyang Bian once said that we should expand the influence of the Song Dynasty Weekly as soon as possible, and don’t be afraid of spending money, especially in Bianjing City, you can give as many copies as you can!

Zeng Gong gritted his teeth: "Seal, the printing that works overtime! How many printings can be printed!"

His editor was a little scared: "Editor-in-chief, this is all a waste of money. If you continue to give it this way, our newspaper will probably go bankrupt!"

Zeng Gong shook his head: "No, I'm not afraid, there are three officials who are in charge of this matter. Ji Mo also said that if I can't spend 100,000 yuan in the first three issues, I, the editor, don't have to do it."

The editor under his subordinate was secretly shocked: "It's true that he is worthy of being the God of Wealth! This courage is really amazing!"

The next day, the newspapers were sold out, the third day, the newspapers were sold out, and the fourth day, they were finally not snatched out, not because the market has been met, but because the supply has increased.

On the fifth day, the statistical data near Bianjing City was summarized. In five days, more than a dozen counties near Kaifeng Prefecture, as well as Bianjing City, sent a total of about 100,000 newspapers.

Zeng Gong was also sweating coldly about this.

Because this way of spending money is really exciting.

Because it is a weekly newspaper, there are many contents of newspapers. It is said to be newspapers, but it is actually a magazine model. In fact, it is just a magazine book, and the cost of one book can be more than ten cents. This is the result that Ouyang Bian can control.

Paper is produced by papermaking workshops acquired by Ouyang Bian. Most of them are their own companies, so they control a weekly report to such a cheap price.

But even such expenses made Zeng Gong sweat coldly.

Kaifeng Prefecture sent about 100,000 copies, which was one million yuan. After all, the Song Dynasty could not send out 800,000 or 900,000 copies?

Of course, the number must not reach so many, but the difference seems to be. With these alone, the expenses are enough for Zeng Gong to be frightened.

Let alone the branches established before, the personnel expenses, the fees paid to the express delivery system of the central bank's service area, etc., people eat and horses, these expenses are also extremely scary.

Fortunately, the newspapers after the third issue can be sold and subsidized, at least they can still make up for it. Otherwise, Zeng Gong was really afraid that the amount of expenditure would be too large and scared Sansi.

Zeng Gong was quite worried about this: "...The cost is so large, and the little money sold for newspapers is probably only to make up for a small part. It is not so simple to maintain the expenditure balance of the weekly newspaper. If the expenses are too large, I am afraid that the three departments will not admit it, and that will be troublesome."

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "These are just small money for Sansi, mainly what is the response?"

Zeng Gong's bitter face became excited: "The response is so good. Our Song Dynasty Weekly Newspaper has been a hit!"

Ouyang Bian smiled and nodded: "What is the specific manifestation?"

"It's very intuitive that the number of newspapers is printed. Other places are far away and have not been counted yet. However, just Kaifeng Prefecture has sent out 100,000 copies, which is probably covering all scholars in Kaifeng Prefecture."

Ouyang Bian nodded.

This is expected. Newspapers, an information carrier that was almost eliminated in later generations, was a new thing at the end of the fourth year of the Song Dynasty.

In today's world, information transmission is not systematic, and can only be communicated through word of mouth or scattered letters;

Scholars are either exposed to examination materials for scientific examinations, or they are exposed to some verbal poems, etc.;

Or it is just some ancient books, but the current affairs can only be divided into some fragmented articles.

This way of bringing together knowledge from various fields has never been used to open your eyes to the Song Dynasty and the world.

Therefore, when the Song Dynasty Weekly presented a new and new world to the eyes of this intellectual who had not broad vision in such a mature way, they were already crazy.

This is not only a young scholar, but also an old intellectual who has been rising and falling in the officialdom for a long time.

They read newspapers eagerly, and experienced people from various fields, using vivid and realistic suggestions and concerns made by readers' eyes, which made them empathize and feel the bombardment of knowledge in unfamiliar fields.

This happens not only to the pure readers, but also to the contributors.

Contributors generally contribute to the field they are engaged in and research, but there is no difference between other fields and other scholars, and they are also immersed in it.

Therefore, it is predictable that the Song Dynasty Weekly is popular.

Ouyang Bian is concerned about the issue of the submission and the preparation of the second issue.

"Is there any manuscript for the manuscript?"

Zeng Gong nodded: "Because there are many invitations for the first time, there are still many more, so I can get enough to get it."

Ouyang Bian nodded: "Have you received any submissions from anyone who has never invited me?"

Zeng Gong smiled: "Yes, and a lot of them are flying in like snowflakes. Our editorial department has been busy recently. Not only do we have to prepare the second issue of the newspaper, but we also have to choose submissions that can be published in the newspaper.
Chapter completed!
