Chapter 1174： Post

   Mu Yangling said indifferently: "I didn't point to the newspaper office to make money at first, as long as my brother doesn't want me to hand over the glass workshop and clock workshop to the public as well."

"It's not about money, it's about prestige, A Ling, don't you know the prestige that the Times has gathered?"

"Then I don't care anymore," Mu Yangling said confidently: "I am the cutest person in the whole of Daqi just by virtue of the harvest grain shop. What kind of prestige do I use for me with the newspaper office?"

Mu Yangling thought that every time she went out shopping, someone would kowtow to her from a distance, and she couldn't help sighing sadly, "It's not a good thing to have too much prestige!"

"..." Qi Haoran could only nod to show that she was right.

"So you don't mind handing over the newspaper office?" Qi Haoran asked, staring at his wife.

Mu Yangling nodded cheerfully, "My original intention is to let the people of the world know about state affairs and not be deceived by the local officials, and to promote etiquette, righteousness and shame, let them know etiquette, understand right and wrong, but also know the law, and know how to protect their own rights, so the newspaper office is in It doesn't matter who has it, what matters is whether the newspaper can be managed well, if you have a good idea, I will naturally listen to you."

Qi Haoran felt that A Ling, who had no desires and no desires, was so cute, he hugged her and said, "A Ling, you are so kind!"

Not everyone can resist the temptation of fame and fortune. The reputation of the Times is no less than the accumulation of the great Confucianism of the first generation, and A Ling let it go.

Qi Haoran hugged her and said, "A-Ling, with you, I also think I'm much more noble."

Mu Yangling coughed in embarrassment and whispered, "It's not that the newspaper office doesn't make money."

Newspapers are really not making money.

In order to allow more people to read the newspaper, she only sells a newspaper of that size for five cents. In addition to the cost of printing and pen and ink, there are also manuscript fees, the salaries of the staff of the newspaper office, and the transportation expenses for delivering the newspaper. Excluding these costs, the profit of the Beijing Newspaper Office is less than 100 taels, not to mention some remote prefectures, where the newspapers are almost in balance with each other, and the accounts are settled during the New Year. .

In order to run the Times well, they also hold some events every year, inviting famous scholars or officials to attend. These costs are quite a lot, so the sum of the profits is enough to hold an event, and then send a small and no small one to the employees. Red envelope.

Times can also bring prestige, but money can’t bring it. Unless you squeeze employees or increase prices, there are only two quick ways to reduce printing costs and transportation costs.

In other words, the Wangfu family’s great business is not afraid of losing money. If another person came to be the boss of the newspaper, she would not be named Mu if the other party was worried that his hair was gray.

It doesn't make money after working so hard.

"Don't look at the popularity of the Times now. That's because we are the only newspaper in the whole of Daqi. After a few years, the number of people running the newspaper will increase, and the popularity of the Times will decline." Mu Yangling's ownership of the Times Not persistent, if it wasn't for Qi Xiuyuan's pressure, after seeing the effect of the Times, newspaper offices would have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

When he first saw the power of the Times, Qi Xiuyuan was afraid that someone would use the newspaper office to do bad things, so he ordered the yamen to suppress it and forbid a second person to run the newspaper office.

This pressure has lasted for so many years, but in a few years, the country will settle down and Ansheng will come up with rules and regulations.

Even if the Times is still the leader, its authority will be divided a lot.

Mu Yangling listened to the analysis to Qi Haoran, and concluded: "So running a newspaper office is tiring and not profitable. If it weren't for the benefit of the people, I would not have done this thankless thing and could give up the ownership. Not bad."

Qi Haoran immediately went to the palace to find Qi Xiuyuan, proud but happy to tell him that he could consider taking over the newspaper office.

Qi Xiuyuan took Li Jinghua's hand and sighed, "I really don't know what A Ling thinks. She seems to care about something different from ours."

Li Jinghua smiled and said: "If I say she is of high quality, she should be replaced by someone who is selfish. You can let it go. Even if it is not profitable, you can hold it in your hand and let it go to others."

The two in the palace were not at peace, and the outside also exploded because of a statement in the Times.

This statement was written by Mu Yangling in his own hand. The literary style is average, but everyone can read it.

Mu Yangling first stated her original intention of running a newspaper, then looked forward to the future, advertised that she was going to open four more newspapers, and then told everyone that in addition to the regular staff of the newspaper office, the general public is also welcome. People who submit manuscripts can get a certain manuscript fee after publishing the manuscripts that have passed the review.

The contributors are regardless of age, gender and class.

In the last two paragraphs of the letter, Mu Yangling emphatically mentioned Wenxiu News, a women's newspaper.

She is a woman and has always felt the difficulties of women. She hopes to help more women live a better life through Wenxiubao.

She hopes that one day all women will become strong, confident, competent and upright, and she started the Times for this reason.

The address of the submission is at the back of the statement, all of which are the locations of the local newspapers.

This statement made waves as soon as it was published.

Some people are concerned and can contribute to newspapers, which means that they have the possibility of becoming famous;

Some people pay attention to a few more newspapers, and are already looking forward to these newspapers;

Some people pay attention to what Princess Rong said to women, and feel that the princess treats women too much, but she herself is a woman, which is understandable.

At this time, the women in the back house were also reading this statement. At this moment, no matter how they once felt about Mu Yangling, they couldn't help but admire her at this moment.

Because no one has ever done a big thing for women alone, Mu Yangling is the first.

Even Li Jinghua wiped her tears with a newspaper, "A Ling is very good, I am proud to be her contemporaries."

After being moved by   , Li Jinghua moved in his heart and asked Wen Cui, "How about I write the first article for Wenxiu Daily?"

At the same time, many big girls and little daughters-in-law in the back house are asking people close to them, "Do you think I can contribute to Wenxiu News?"

Even the old lady who was in her sixtieth year held the newspaper and asked the old lady next to her, "Do you think that if I contribute to Wenxiu Newspaper, will Princess Rong be admitted?"

The old lady looked at the old lady who was trying to keep her voice down, and said with a black line: "Why don't you try?"

"Go get the pen and ink," the old lady hurriedly stopped the old lady and whispered, "Bring it quietly, don't let people know, don't all those literati deserve a nickname? I'll take one too..."

Then no one would know it was her.

The old lady had black lines all over her head, but she still quietly brought her pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

At the same time, there are obviously many people who have the same idea as the old lady. Because the statement was published on the third day, Mu Yangling received a large number of female submissions.
