Chapter 106 Listing
The melting point of lead is not high. By morning, we refer to the proportion of modern lead alloys, melt them and pour them into the font mold. When they are ignored, they will be movable lead.
This type of movable type is wear-resistant, has a stable shape and is easy to store.
Xunshan Taoist came to inspect the quality of movable type blocks as soon as possible. When he thought that his first novel would be reported, he would be seen by many people, he was very excited, and inevitably felt anxious. After thinking about it, he decided to take charge of the layout of the first edition of the newspaper in person.
Zhuchen felt dizzy when he looked at the dense movable pieces. The magic cultivator was not well educated and could not bear the heavy responsibility of typewriting. It was naturally best that the Taoist Xunshan was willing to take over the hot potato. However, she agreed happily, and finally made some instructions and arranged behind the scenes, and most of the tasks were handed over to Xunshan.
In order to save costs and make the newspaper look very content, a page of paper needs to be filled in intact except for the necessary borders and patterns.
The positive side is naturally used to publish novels by Xunshan Taoist, which is a major selling point of the newspaper. If you can't fill it, you can use the monk's cultivation experience and life experience to make up for it.
Because I heard from many monks from different sects, my practice was very different, and I rarely communicated on weekdays. Bringing them together might lead to the collision of multiple ideas and bring inspiration to the monks.
As for the reverse side of the newspaper, half is used to publish the gossip of life of various sects. The rest is one quarter of the content as advertising space, and one quarter is reserved for the seasonal news.
The content of entertainment gossip also comes from Xunshan Taoist.
To a certain extent, this uncle is simply a contemporary paparazzi. Zhuchen asked him to make some information, and he could shake out a basket of things at will. He said it in detail and is well-informed.
Whether it is romantic news or misunderstandings, he knows a little, and it is first-hand information, and some of it comes directly from the parties involved.
However, for the sake of his own safety, Xunshan Taoist hoped that she would make some modifications, preferably half true and half false, so that people would not find out that it was the news that he had spread.
Zhuchen said he understood and picked some things that were not painful, but also quite funny to publish.
For example, the head of xx admitted his wrong apprentice back then and was cheated of 10,000 spirit stones by clumsy. He was so angry that he went to buy the pills for enlightenment, but he was cheated of 10,000 spirit stones by him. From then on, he didn't like to bring money when he went out.
After editing, Zhu Chen thought about it and felt that there was a living joke in reality, so he added the feat of these demon cultivators who failed to steal chickens and lost rice. I hope everyone can learn from it.
As for the season's news page.
Because the weather is sunny recently, there is nothing to say. Zhuchen can only write: #Chaowen monsters are getting pregnant one after another, and the meat price should fall next year#
She read it twice and felt that it was too perfunctory. After all, what does Chaowen's pregnancy have to do with other sects?
In order to increase the value of gold, she asked Damobu to calculate the weather and farming time, and added it to the bottom of the page for reference only. She also excerpted some popular science content in the systematic course as #Little Life Knowledge#.
Zhuchen thinks that the highlight of the entire newspaper is that advertising space. The advertising module is strongly requested by Zhuchen, and her inspiration here has been greatly exerted.
Leave the middle area blank, write [Advertising space for rent], and post small advertisements full of morning news up and down to demonstrate.
For example, Tongguo is about to usher in a new wave of mass production. Because it is difficult to store, it is now being dumped. Ten purchases start with no free shipping.
In order to show friendship, she also gave everyone in the entire channel an advertising space, asking him to find sellers for unsold products in his sect.
The final finished newspaper was printed, and the effect was surprising to everyone.
Although the text is small, the handwriting is very clear and the layout looks very clean and tidy, and it already has the five-point prototype of a modern newspaper.
"Good-looking." Taoist Xunshan held the newspaper and studied it over and over again, and said with great satisfaction, "The handwriting is neat and the content is clear. Fellow Taoist Zhuchen, I think this type of movable type is more useful than the clay one!"
Zhu Chen smiled and said, "Is that true?"
The Taoist Xunshan urged: "Let's continue printing now! Print a few thousand copies and hand them over to all the friends in the channel."
Jinyi Sect usually has to go to major sects to deliver goods, and adding a few more pieces of paper is nothing. Zhuchen has already discussed with friends in the entire channel.
The problem is that newspapers pay attention to timeliness. They cannot be on the ground one by one, so the impact will be very poor at that time. You need to save enough quantities and start selling them at the same time.
Unfortunately, Xunshan Taoist was very eager to do so, but the output of newspaper printing was very low.
Because there is only one template that is manually printed, if you are lucky, you can print three or four hundred copies a day. If you are unlucky, you will only produce two or three hundred copies.
If the operation is improper, the paper will be dirty and the cost will be increased, so you will not be anxious.
The demon cultivators thought that the newspaper was published and they could breathe a sigh of relief. Who knew that after the font was engraved, there would be torture like printing newspapers.
That's fine. The careful and skillful brother was taken to print newspapers. The other demon cultivators only had a day off and were told to continue to go back and engrave movable types.
The demon cultivators cried all over the world, and Zhuchen said innocently: "How can these movable types be enough? We have the second, third, and even countless newspapers, and the characters used are different. In addition, they will be used to print students' textbooks and exercises in the future. If the sales of newspapers increase, we need to print more templates at the same time to ensure daily sales."
She clenched her fist and cheered: "I believe everyone is familiar with how to engrave the lettering model now. Work hard and strive to triple the output in the next two months!"
What she didn't say was that she also wanted to build a big house specifically for storing these lead types. After too many lead types, managing and storing would also become a big problem. She needs to train special managers and proofreaders.
The more you develop your career, the more complex your business is.
A group of demon cultivators were completely unable to lift their energy. When they thought of continuing to learn and continued to engrave the lettering model, their fingers began to hurt and their heads buzzed. They asked her bitterly: "President Zhuchen, when will this job be done?"
Zhuchen said: "Since it's work, it's certainly a lifetime."
Everyone felt their legs weak and they were almost unable to hold on. They supported each other before they could barely hold on, but they felt that there was still a dull light in front of them.
Zhu Chen laughed out loud and said, "Just get used to it, don't be so pessimistic. When there are too many people in Chaowen, I will ask you more helpers. Or after a while, if you have enough characters, you can also relax. Now Chaowen is the time to use people, and there is really no time to slack off. As long as you spend this most difficult time, I will definitely not treat everyone badly."
Everyone didn't know that this behavior was called "drawing big cakes". They couldn't expect it too much. They were deceived by Zhuchen's sincere face and decided to accompany her to create a career.
"But it's still necessary to go to class." Zhuchen's words are like a devil, "Education changes life. I hope everyone can cultivate their own character and reform themselves in the process of learning."
She said as she added another literary class to the magic cultivators, hoping that they can become qualified publishers as soon as possible.
Because it was the first time that Zhuchen had published a newspaper, Zhuchen could not control its sales. The paper used for making newspapers must be smooth and smooth, which was costly. Zhuchen was worried that it would be unsold.
So five days later, I collected 2,000 copies and let all friends of the channel sell it first. If someone booked it, I would then make up the first copy.
Quantong returned to the sect with the first batch of newspapers and handed them over to his junior brothers and sisters, so that they could sell newspapers while delivering goods.
You can contract for a quarter with just one piece of spirit stone, and the contents of each issue will be updated differently. For the first purchase, you can try some of the content first.
People inside Jinyi Sect picked up the newspaper and read it. They thought the newspaper was quite interesting. They thought the price was not expensive. Zhuchen's inner beast alchemy brought a lot of benefits to their sects. In order to show their support, they subscribed to a part of it first. When they were sent to other sects, they were selling it with all their strength.
When the young monks first heard the newspaper, they had no feelings, but they became interested when they heard the introduction.
"The article that Chao Went out? Written by Taoist Xunshan?"
Who doesn’t know that Xunshan Taoist likes to write gossip the most? Many of the contents are stories, but in fact they are just criticizing the mulberry trees, which makes all the leaders jump.
He couldn't stay idle when he opened his mouth. He lived in Gongwen recently, so he must have written about people or things about Gongwen. Everyone had been waiting for a long time but didn't see the wind coming out, and they still felt strange. It turned out that they were waiting here.
It happened that everyone was very interested in the origin of the leader Chaowen, so they decided to buy a copy and try it.
The young man sitting at the tea stall put his sword on the table and took out the newspaper from his sleeve. After running for a day, he had time to read it carefully.
His companion sat down beside him and turned his head to check with him.
The first glance of the paper is awe:
"Wow—What a regular word!"
The clear layout and exquisite printing technology really amazed them.
They were not in a hurry at all, drinking tea and eating snacks, reading word by word.
"I have bought this Tongguo, and it is indeed delicious, and I still miss it. Since it is much cheaper, why not buy a little more?"
"Advertising space, alas, I want to buy a good sword. I wonder if this can be published."
"The head of the xx sect never brings money when he goes out, and has made a lot of jokes. I thought it was because of him being stingy, so there was such a reason."
The two of them finished watching the first page with a smile and laughter, flipped over, and when they saw the name "Xunshan Taoist" they both became nervous.
They took a sip of tea to calm themselves down, and then read the "novel" from the beginning.
Chapter completed!
