Chapter 184

: Thousands of Thousands of Things

Sure enough, when Wang Jin wanted to hold his own newspaper at Anqing Xin Restoration Meeting, there was a lot of joy in the suburbs. After that, everyone discussed all the related matters such as newspaper printing, distribution and positioning until they felt that there were no mistakes. Everyone was a novice.

On the location and distribution of newspapers, Wang Jin and Wang Siliang had a fierce disagreement.

Wang Siliang and others believed that the traditional route should be taken, mainly based on urban revolutionary propaganda, attract and inspire aspiring young people and intellectuals, and strengthen the backbone revolutionary forces of the Anqing Restoration Association.

1. Under the current conditions, the opportunities and levels of education for urban residents are far higher than those in rural areas. This is a fact, even if there are another hundred years.

Wang Jinze had other ideas. He wanted to create the greatest momentum. Not only the educated youth in the city needed unity, but also the old farmers in the countryside who could not give up. The experience before traveling through time told him that the more simple and simple the thoughts were, the easier it was to follow you all the way to the dark!

Of course, he didn't think that what he did now would bring his followers into the abyss of hell!

This time, Wang Sijing, the passionate young men were extremely stubborn, and he was "tit-for-tat" with Wang Jin and refused to give in. In the end, no one could convince anyone. Wang Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it just a big ocean? Brother is not short of this thing now. He unifies everyone's opinions, and if you want to do it, you should do the best, and be both in cities and rural areas!

Since the president is willing to pay, what else can I say? Let's do it.

As an important means of revolutionary publicity for the Anqing Restoration Association in the future, the most important basis for running a newspaper is printing. After preliminary investigation, the current entry threshold for movable type mimeograph printing technology is not enough. As long as the materials are complete, any person with both hands can complete it. The key is just how much loss is.

Wang Jin was not stingy, so he spread a lot of silver balls and customized dozens of sets of wooden movable characters from the skilled craftsmen in Anqing City and the counties under his jurisdiction. This is the case under the current conditions. Although copper movable type and lead movable type are more advanced, their service life and practicality are better than those of wooden movables, due to the limited conditions and the time is too long, they can only make it this way.

As for why he customized so many sets of wooden movable types, he mainly adheres to the principle of "Three Holes of Cunning Rabbit". Although the scale advantage is very coveted, safety is more important in his heart. How can he not encounter any setbacks when doing revolutionary work? It is a helpless move not to put eggs in a basket.

One thing that must be ignored is that if all the movable type pages are concentrated in one place, the ink fragrance emitted during mimeographing is too conspicuous. Don’t you clearly tell the government that there is something wrong here?

For this, he mobilized all local comrades in the association and asked each of them to provide one or two secret bases for printing workshops. Except for the core comrades in the association, they were not allowed to inform others in order to prevent the traitor from being taken away by the government.

For these things, they were busy until spring in March before they could finish them. During this period, nothing major happened, and the situation in Anqing City was stable. Wang Jin simply turned all his attention outside the city and devoted himself to developing the "revolution" cause in his heart.

During this period, Xiong Chengji also sent someone to contact him. He wanted to find out the details of the Anqing New Restoration Association, but Wang Siliang cleverly resolved them one by one. It is possible to cooperate, but it is unlikely that the New Restoration Association will all turn to the new army.

With the involvement of running a newspaper, Wang Siliang and others were also very interested in the "big things" planned by Xiong Chengji and others and did not lose their enthusiasm, but it was obviously unlikely that they would devote themselves to their whole body. During the spring plowing season, the countryside is very busy, sowing seeds and planting rice and fat fields, which one does not require a lot of energy? Not to mention, the newspapers that are expected are being improved step by step...

The movable type touch version and the printing workshop are all ready, and the next is the issue of ink and paper.

At first, he thought it was very simple, but he tried it with ordinary ink, but it turned out to be terrible. His handwriting was blurred and his size was different, so he couldn't read it at all.

There was no choice but to invite a few Anqing printing industry to come to the bones and ask how to solve this problem?

After the explanation of the veterans, he realized that the people are still using woodblock printing. The reason is that the ink problem has not been solved and the effect of movable type printing is too poor. If you want to do movable type printing, it is best to buy suitable ink from foreign companies, otherwise it is better not to do movable type.

This result is really disheartening. Wang Jin was heartbroken. Unexpectedly, the movable type printing invented by ancient China was finally promoted abroad. Are foreign monks really good at chanting scriptures? He doesn't believe it...

There is no way, and it is impossible to give up the matter of running a newspaper halfway. He had to forcefully take out the big ocean and buy ink suitable for movable type printing in foreign companies opened in Anqing. Only then did he realize that no wonder the headquarters of major newspapers are basically in the concession. Political factors are one aspect, and materials are heavily dependent on the supply of foreign companies, which is probably a major reason.

All the materials were purchased. In the extreme outside Anqing, all the comrades were waiting for their first newspaper to be released with anticipation!

"Haha, it's not bad!" Wang Jin couldn't help but feel excited when he held the freshly baked oil paper with a faint ink fragrance. Although this newspaper seemed too rough to him, he was still inexplicably excited and was very happy that he had another publicity weapon in his hand.

"Show me, show me..."

"Don't grab it, I got it..."

The comrades rushed up and happily observed the first newspaper belonging to the New Resurrection Association - Revenge!

The content of the first issue is extremely simple. Except for the warm congratulations written by Liu Wendianzun, who is the best writing style, the whole article is about teaching how to learn words through pinyin alphabet.

That's right, the first issue of the newspaper was printed as an auxiliary material for children's learning, and it will be provided for free to children in the village who cannot afford paper and pen, as their basic textbooks.

The village is too poor. Children use branches to put sand tables when practicing writing. It is much simpler and it is difficult to find mistakes. Nowadays, it is completely different with comparisons. At least children can find mistakes by themselves, which is extremely helpful to their studies.
