"I've sold newspapers, I've sold newspapers, three cents a piece of newspapers today, I've sold newspapers, I've sold newspapers."

On the morning of the eighth day of the fifth month, a large group of children appeared in Chang'an City. They carried canvas bags, waved a newspaper in their hands, and rushed around the streets and alleys.

They are children of the adults in the family who are in bad condition, or children who have lost their loved ones.

Li Yi said he wanted them to help sell newspapers, and the time was now.

There are fifty newspapers for one child and four hundred children, and 21,000 copies per day in Chang'an, and not much printing is required.

The other 300,000 copies were sent to the gate of Honglu Temple by the merchants and waited for the foreigners to buy them.

By the way, he handed over a thousand newspapers to the people of the Imperial City and brought them in.

The people of Chang'an, no, it was the first time that the people of the Tang Dynasty saw a newspaper boy.

They are more interested in children selling newspapers than newspapers.

"I'll buy one." A shopkeeper of an inn stood at the door and saw the child running over one. It was strange. After a moment, another one came.

"Three Qian." A seven or eight-year-old girl was wearing a new dress, standing in front of the shopkeeper, handing a newspaper and reaching out.

"I took a look and found that it was well written, so I bought it. If it was not well written, I won't buy it." The shopkeeper joked.

The little girl was stunned, and tears suddenly burst out from her eyes: "No, no, I, I want to tell, tell Lijiazhuangzi."

"Don't, I'll buy it, don't cry, I'm joking, don't say it out." The shopkeeper was almost crying.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he ran in as fast as possible, ran out, grabbed the little girl's hand, and directly patted the five copper coins.

"Give it, five cents, two cents more." The shopkeeper was saving himself.

"Thank you." The little girl wiped her tears and suddenly laughed again. She put three copper coins in a lattice of a shoulder bag, and the other two were packed separately.

Turning around, she jumped and shouted to sell newspapers to find the next person who wanted to buy newspapers.

A little boy selling newspapers was stopped.

"How much does it cost to report to you if you sell one?" The restaurant manager who stopped him was curious.

"Sell fifty newspapers, give them fifteen cents and take care of lunch." The boy handed them over to the newspaper.

The manager gave the child three Kaiyuan Tongbao and stuffed another bun: "Did the clothes be given to Lijiazhuangzi?"

"Give it, otherwise we have no clothes to wear." The boy smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, it's good to make money by yourself." The shopkeeper said another sentence, shook his head and went in.

People from Chang'an soon discovered that Lijiazhuangzi had done good deeds again.

In their opinion, the children's labor is for Lijiazhuangzi to help the children.

"Look, the newspaper says that Lijiazhuangzi will continue to purchase large quantities of artemisia seeds. Five kilograms of artemisia seeds can be exchanged for a plate of smoked mosquitoes and flies, one serving of ten."

People who read the newspaper found the advertisement again, which said the story of changing the artemisia seeds and mosquito coils.

"There is another one below. Buying elm bark for a large amount of high prices. What's the use of this elm bark?"

Another person unfolds his newspaper and finds the location of the advertisement.

There was no newspaper next to me, and the forties who were waiting for others to read it and listened to it: "Elm peel powder is used to make fragrance, otherwise you have to use honey, otherwise the fragrance will not form."

"According to this point, ordinary people can also use incense."

"It is different from the incense used in temples, temples, and sights."

"Nothing is different, that is, the price is different. Five kilograms of wormwood can be exchanged for ten plates of fragrant rice."

The people discovered good things again. The first time they heard the fragrance of smoked mosquitoes and flies, they would try cutting the wormwood and changing it.

"Print out the use of the mosquito coil I wrote and put one in one." Li Yi from Zhuangzi went to the printing workshop and gave a piece of paper.

The paper says do not put mosquito coils next to your head. If you have babies at home, it is best to light the incense first in the evening to close the doors and windows in the house.

Go in after two quarters of an hour, open the doors and windows to extinguish the incense. Be careful not to have anything that is prone to fire around the mosquito coil.

These words can be printed in a small piece of paper, and Li Yi is afraid that someone will get sick.

There are only artemisia seeds and elm bark powder in the pan, which looks natural, but as long as it is burned, there will be smoke.

Who has a baby, and it caused a problem? Li Yi thinks this...

At noon, a businessman came over and called Yang Xin, a businessman who specialized in transporting elm powder from other places to Chang'an to sell it.

He was preparing to contact other incense-making shops and temples, discussing a price, and get a newspaper while waiting at the pier.

Seeing that the Lijiazhuangzi had a high price and the Zhengqiao was the Bashui Wharf, he ran over to ask.

Song De didn't even go, so he sent a small manager to the other side of Baqiao to discuss with the merchant.

The two sides negotiated the price, which was half a percent less than selling it to temples and other places. It was cheaper, and it was not a high price at all.

However, Yang Xin saved a lot of time by collecting all 10,000 kilograms of elm skin powder at a time.

He can buy goods in Chang'an and load them back, grab the time, and transport elm powder to sell once more.

Elm bark powder is the powder made of elm bark and is used as a binder.

When taking materials, you usually cut off the branches of the elm tree, and there are also small elm trees specially planted in large areas of mountainous land.

Peel the bark of a big tree and peel it once and it will be peeled to death. The elm bark on the branches is enough. It will be cut this year and will grow again next year.

The leaves and flowers of elm trees can be eaten, called elm money, and there are rice and cakes made from elm money.

The manager negotiated with Yang Xin about the price and quantity of purchases, but Yang Xin put forward new requirements. The manager could not make the decision and ran back to ask Li Yi.

"Owner, he said that he would come here to bring other goods next time and want to leave a place in our newspaper and tell him something."

Report on the situation of the small manager.

Li Yi calculated: "Tell him, but only the newspapers in Jingzhao Prefecture are printed on, with one word and one letter, and punctuation marks are not considered money."

The little manager turned around and ran away and went to talk to Yang Xin.

There are punctuation marks now, but some people don’t write them, and everyone writes them differently.

The newspapers are horizontal layout, not vertical layout, but also read from left to right.

Li Yi followed his own habits and wrote articles from right to left, always holding the sleeve with his other hand, unless he was left-handed.

It is easy for people who read newspapers to adapt, it is very magical, and the standardized punctuation marks can also be understood.

Now someone uses commas and periods, quotation marks, dash marks, book titles, exclamation marks, etc. Others see them, and after a little thought, they understand them.

The little manager there told Yang Xin about the price, but Yang Xin didn't say it was OK or not, just said to take a look when you come next time.

Yang Xin discovered the secret in the newspaper, and other businessmen were not stupid.

They found that this newspaper was of great use to help promote it, at least the entire Jingzhao Prefecture could know it.

The little manager seemed very sorry when he came back. He wanted to finalize the matter: "The boss, I guess he thought the price was high."

"It's okay, just wait until I make a set of color printing. The advertisements can be more conspicuous. You need to make the ink well."

Li Yi comforted the young manager, and he had a way.

There are black characters in the newspaper now. If you want to print colorful characters, you can type them once more in one color.

Print out the first version first, and the location where the colored characters are needed is empty.
