Lin Song, who was guarding the newspaper office, didn't see a few people enter the store in the afternoon.

On the contrary, a few children were hired in the afternoon, and one by one seemed to have made an appointment.

Several people took turns coming back, and then took some of the newspapers and sold them on the street outside.

Two of them even asked for forty copies.

Lin Song was very curious, and he wanted to follow these children to see who bought these newspapers.

A few small children, each responsible for a street. They are the ones with the most foot traffic in Ueya-gun.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, Youzhou People's Daily, know everything in the world......"

For every newspaper sold, these children have money to take, and they are full of energy.

One end of the street went to the other, and then back, and the sound never stopped.

"Child, what are you selling in your hand, how can you know everything in the world?"

The child who was stopped was named Zhang Shun, and he handed the newspaper in his hand to the other party and said, "You can read it yourself." ”

Although he was selling newspapers, Zhang Shun didn't know what was written in the newspaper.

It's just that when someone asks, they directly show the newspaper to the other party.

The man took the newspaper and read it, and immediately threw it into Zhang Shun's hand.

"Take it, take it, what the hell is on it." The man was curious, but he was illiterate.

Zhang Shun didn't care, and after taking back the newspaper, he continued to sell it along the street.

There are many people who are curious and interested in hearing Zhang Shun's voice, but among these people, ninety percent are illiterate.

There are so many people on the street, even if there are only 10% of people who can read, there are about 100.

Soon, another person stopped Zhang Shun and said, "Show me that one." ”

Zhang Shun handed the newspaper to the other party, and after a while, seeing that the man had not returned the newspaper to himself, Zhang Shun twitched his hand.

The man was fascinated by what he was watching, and he was defenseless, and was directly taken away by Zhang Shun.

"Eh, I haven't finished reading it yet, I'm showing it for a while." As he spoke, the man stretched out his hand, but Zhang Shun was dodged.

Zhang Shun said: "A portion of twenty yuan, I want to see the money brought." ”

"Why are you like this, this kid, I will pay you back after watching for a while, and you still want me to give money?" The man was suddenly unhappy.

Of course, Zhang Shun can't watch it, he still relies on this to make money, and whoever buys it after reading it will spend money to buy it.

"Give me twenty dollars, and you can take this newspaper home and read it slowly." Zhang Shun held the newspaper to prevent the man from snatching it from his hand.

"You kid, why are you so ignorant." Seeing that Zhang Shun really wouldn't let him watch it for free, the man said, "Forget it, give you money." ”

Receiving the money in his arms, Zhang Shun handed a newspaper to the man with a smile, then turned his head and began to shout along the street.

"Brother, what did you say about this?" At that moment, several people surrounded the man who had bought the newspaper.

"Want to know? Buy it yourself. The man glanced at a few people, followed Zhang Shun's example, rolled up the newspaper and grabbed it in his hand and left.

Anyway, it cost twenty dollars to buy it, why should he share it with these people who didn't spend money. Of course, I went home and watched it slowly.

"Hmph, what's so spirited." Passers-by were not angry.

At that moment, the two of them caught up with Zhang Shun and took out twenty yuan to buy a newspaper each.

There are those who are unwilling to share with others, and of course there are those who are willing to share with others.

"Do you want to know what this says, come here, I'll tell you."

Many of them are illiterate, and even if they buy them, they can't understand them, and now there are people who are willing to speak, and they are all around this person.

The man who had just bought the newspaper from Zhang Shun completely ignored Zhang Shun's eyes and began to speak.

The mouth is long on the body, although Zhang Shun hates, but there is no way to prohibit this person from talking. Simply changed the street.

The newspapers in my hand were bought one by one, and soon twenty copies were sold out.

With a bag of money in his hand, Zhang Shun jumped back to the newspaper office.

The other children also came back with money after selling newspapers.

After settling their salaries, Lin Song asked them to continue coming over tomorrow morning.

After employing these children in the afternoon, the results have completely exceeded Lin Song's original goal.

Lin Song originally thought that he could sell a hundred copies today, which was already very good.

But in the end, he sold 300 copies and received 6,000 yuan.

Locking the money in the cabinet, Lin Song finally saw the hope of the newspaper, and began to think about what he could write for the next issue.

Although he made 6,000 yuan a day, he didn't make much money after deducting the maid money for the children and the cost of printing.

It's far less profitable than printing the best-selling books.

But at this moment, Lin Song's state of mind has changed a lot.

He didn't understand what Zhao Hui said about controlling public opinion, and he had been worried that no one would buy this so-called newspaper.

But now he was sure that someone would pay for the newspapers, which he had written himself.

Full of a sense of accomplishment and full of strength.

It's just a pity that Youzhou Minbao is not a daily issue, but a semi-monthly issue.

The transmission efficiency of the message is too slow, and if you want to know the news of Luoyang, it will take more than half a month at the earliest.

And the news of other counties in Youzhou basically takes a few days.

Once a day, it can only be published in Kamiya-gun.

And it's just a county town, and there is very little information that can attract people.

The fact that newspapers can be distributed in Upper Valley County and that people are willing to buy them is also related to the current economic level of Upper Valley County.

The people of Upper Valley County are no longer living for food and clothing all the time.

With the prosperity of commerce, even the people at the bottom have a certain increase in their income compared with before.

Spending 20 dollars a day to buy newspapers is unaffordable for 70 or 80 percent of families.

But buying one issue in half a month is not too big a problem for ninety percent of families in Shanggu County.

The next day, a group of children came to the newspaper office early and went out with a stack of newspapers.

And the store is still as deserted as yesterday, and it looks out of place with the traffic outside.

There are 300 copies of yesterday's foundation, and today's Lin Song is very relieved to stay in the newspaper office.

Two hundred copies were sold in the morning, four hundred in the afternoon, and another 12,000 were recovered today.

Lin Song estimated that at the current rate, there would be no need to wait for the next issue to be printed, and all the newspapers in this issue would be sold out.

Zhao Hui only went to see it on the first day, and then he didn't go.

Since he chose Lin Song, Zhao Hui still believes in his ability and trusts Lin Song very much.

As more and more newspapers were sold, the contents of the newspapers spread throughout Kamiya-gun.

Many people are curious about how this newspaper came out and whether what is written on it is true.

But this suspicion did not last long, and many people came forward to say that what was said in the newspapers was all true.

Among the people who expressed their position, there were people from families, people from the government, and ordinary people.
