Chapter 602: If you are not convinced, you can go it alone
β¦β¦
Since the latest issue of the newspaper went on sale, a large number of disciples have come in an endless stream in the past few days, and many of them have come to apply for jobs with their written resumes and strategies.
The newspaper hall specially placed a few tables and chairs under the big tree at the door, and a wooden sign was placed on each table, which respectively wrote the Xia History Preparatory Office, the Commercial History Preparatory Office, the Zhou History Preparatory Office, and the preparatory office of several different names such as poetry books, scriptures, and subsets of the bookstore.
There are all young and old who come to contribute, there are Confucian scholars with wide sleeves and robes, as well as agronomists with shorts and shorts, and even immortal disciples with fairy wind and bones tied in a bun, anyway, there are all kinds of characters, the common feature of these people is that they can read and write, most of them carry swords at their waists, some look polite, some look like farmers or even reckless, but they definitely belong to cultural people with ideals and pursuits, and those scholars who have no power to tie the chicken in later generations are absolutely different.
When Chen Xu came, hundreds of people had gathered in front of the tables in these preparatory places, and many disciples of various schools had already looked at each other unpleasantly on weekdays, so under the noise and crowding, some people even insulted and scuffled in the street.
Into your wife's straightforward scolding seems to come as soon as she opens her mouth, scolding and scolding will wave their fists and feet to each other, and then cause fellow friends to start a group fight, so Chen Xu's carriage just drove to the street at the entrance of the newspaper office, and it was a group of people in various costumes banging happily on the street, and there were many onlookers next to it.
"Wow, this punch is very popular, I'm afraid it has been instructed by a master!"
"No, I look a little weak."
"Hey, these miscellaneous barbarians are so savage, they actually stab people's buttocks!"
"It's a big deal to stab stocks, look at that person who is shameless, he specializes in flirting with his yin legs, and he has already kicked over three famous disciples!"
"Hmph, the famous disciples will only talk about it, and it's annoying to watch, so I also go up and have fun in secret!"
"Hey, Brother Tai is so good, I want to go!"
"Quack, very good, which school of brother Tai?"
"A certain Zonghengjia Huang Gan!"
"Bang~"
"You...... What are you doing beating me! β
"Hmph, a certain Confucian Liu is uneven, and what he hates most is you scum who sow discord."
"Enter your lady, a certain hates Confucianism the most, Ah Da~~"
In the middle of the street, countless people punched and kicked together, and the onlookers who were watching and coaxing next to them would roll up their sleeves and do something without saying a word, and a few clerks in the newspaper office who were responsible for collecting the application documents sat behind the desks, drinking tea and discussing which ones were strong and could add some points to their resumes.
"Bang~" During the fight, the crowd suddenly dispersed, and a young man's beard was smashed out of the circle by a strong man's punch and rolled directly in front of Chen Xu's carriage.
"Choke ~ choke ~ " Several guard long knives came out of their sheaths, and the cold blades rested on the young man's neck.
"Bold, dare to collide with Qinghehou's car!"
The roar of the guards silenced the entire street, and after a few moments, the crowd of onlookers suddenly dispersed, and those who fell to the ground also limped to their feet.
"Meet the Marquis of Qinghe!" At this time, whether it was a fight or a spectator, they all frowned one by one and hurriedly bowed.
"Excuse me, why are you fighting here, don't you know the king's law?" Chen Xu frowned and said coldly.
"Master Hou, don't blame, they've been fighting all morning!" Several clerks in charge of recruitment hurriedly squeezed up and saluted.
"Engong, aren't all of these hundred disciples like this, why bother with them!" After Yu Wuya finished speaking, he slowly took out the long sword on his back and pointed at the crowd around him, and said proudly: "I am a disciple of Liezi, I heard that you often say everywhere that my Guixu Sect is rude and unreasonable, today I will give you a chance to come up and fight with me, whether you live or die......"
"Wow~" Looking at this cold and shining iron sword and Yu Wuya's condescending momentum, everyone shivered and stepped back, and they all looked at Yu Wuya with frightened faces.
Chen Xu glanced at Yu Wuya with a dark face, "Brother Yu, can you be braver?" β
"Hey, hey!" Yu Wuya laughed dryly, choked his backhand long sword into the sheath, and then looked around and said: "Today, for the sake of Hou Ye's face, I won't be embarrassed by you, if anyone is not convinced, they can find me alone!" β
Chen Xu: ......
Under the suppression of the aura of Qinghehou and the long sword of a certain shameless disciple of Liezi, a group of hundreds of disciples who came to apply for the job were all frowning and unusual, and after seeing Qinghehou's carriage enter the newspaper hall, they hurriedly left to pass on the news.
Qinghehou personally came to the newspaper to recruit talents, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Chen Ping, Fu An and others welcomed Chen Xu into the general affairs room and sat down, and ordered someone to bring a thick bundle of resumes and strategies, the number of which was thousands of copies.
"Master Hou, these are all resumes and strategies received in the past few days, what do you think should be done?" Chen Ping looked at Chen Xu with some apprehension and asked.
"Have you read all these resumes?" Chen Xu didn't bother to look through it, there were too many, and he looked big.
"Back to Lord Hou, we have already read these resumes, and there are them from all sects, many of them are famous people from various counties, and the policies are all very well written, and some of them are not very flattering, and the resumes and policies are all messy!"
"In fact, the purpose of the history museum and the bookstore is very clear, that is, to appease these idlers, and the number of recruits this time is enough to thousands, in addition to the editor-in-chief and responsible editor, there are a large number of copying scribes, so there is no need to be too harsh, the only thing to do is to include the most famous group of disciples among the hundred disciples according to the teacher on the resume, the history museum requires clear and rigorous language, try to select historians and old Cheng to hold it seriously, and the bookstore is to collect and sort out a variety of sage classics and poetry and scriptures, The requirements for writing are not too high, and those who are proficient in writing can be admitted on the basis of merit, so you have worked hard to determine the personnel as soon as possible in this matter, not only to publish the names of the admitted personnel on the list outside the newspaper, but also to publish them in the next issue of the newspaper throughout the country! β
"Yes, Master Hou!" All hands on deck.
"All the admitted people will be arranged to go to the history museum and the bookstore as soon as possible to start working, and I will go to the Inner History House and the household department to discuss the purchase of food and lodging logistics, and at the same time arrange people to collect a large number of books and historical materials, by the way, the history museum and the bookstore also need more than a dozen stewards, you can also recommend a few familiar friends, or visit and invite some famous hotels to join, this matter must be determined as soon as possible......"
"Hou Ye rest assured, the stewards have all been determined, they are all some famous people who are familiar with each other and have a good reputation in Xianyang, and a few of them have already been seen by Hou Ye when he watched the Divine Thunder fireworks last time!" Chen Ping, Fu An and others hurriedly said.
"That's good, the subset of historical records and scriptures is not a newspaper, there is no need to screen the good and bad, sort out and transcribe and compile it into a book and file it, and then I will go to His Majesty to apply to form a review team, these reviewers are all famous doctors and doctors in the dynasty, all books will be stored in the warehouse after the review, whether it is a bookstore or a private collation of books, anyone who has the intention of publishing can buy a book number from the book bureau after the review and print, each book number is tentatively set at 5,000 yuan......"
"Hiss~~" A circle of people took a breath of cool air.
"Master Hou, is the book number too expensive?" Fu An grinned.
"Where's the price?" Chen Xu glanced at a group of people, "I said last time, the bookstore can't have no income, otherwise how can it feed so many people?"
For the time being, we will set the price according to 100,000 words and 50 yuan, if each book is printed in 1,000 copies, the total price is 50,000 yuan, half price discount, leaving the publisher with a profit of 25,000 yuan, if all these 1,000 copies are sold, you can earn 20,000 yuan in addition to the book number, and it is also a money-making business for publishers, and there are many poor people in 100 schools, but many of them have dealings with rich merchants, not to mention that there are many ministers and doctors, and these money are scum for them......"
A group of people were immediately persuaded by Chen Xu, and they couldn't accept it, anyway, Chen Xu had already arranged the matter of selling the book number, but it was just a matter of price, for rich people, there was not much difference between five thousand yuan and five hundred yuan, that is, one or two meals before a meal.
After staying in the newspaper for almost an hour, Chen Xu carefully arranged the affairs of the newspaper hall, the history writing hall, the bookstore and the printing house, and integrated all the resources to establish a Daqin Culture Publishing House, which specially coordinated the publication and printing of newspapers, periodicals and books.
At present, Daqin has only a population of more than 20 million, of which less than 500,000 are literate and literate, and the real literate people should be less than 200,000, most of them are concentrated in various big cities, and Xianyang occupies almost one-third, including civil and military officials, princes and princes, wealthy businessmen and nobles of the six countries, that is to say, the main consumption power of these books, books and newspapers is still in Xianyang City, as for the remote countryside, a county is estimated to find a hundred literate people, just like a few thousand people in Qinghe Town, No more than ten of them are literate, and half of them are semi-literate, but they only know a few, and they can't read newspapers.
Therefore, the task of this publishing house is not heavy, mainly focusing on newspapers and printing houses, ancient historical collections and hundreds of classics and poetry and books, etc., and it is estimated that there are tens of millions of words, most of which will be printed and published, which is also a very terrifying thing, according to the capacity of the printing house, many of them will be arranged in a few years.
However, it was also a means of delaying and appeasing the disciples of the hundred schools.
Once the attention of many things is diverted, procrastination and procrastination become a habit, and then the tasks and goals of the beginning are forgotten, and the rebellion is naturally forgotten.
