Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 383: First newspaper

After intensive preparations, the newly established Propaganda Department of the Secretariat finally released the first issue of Jinxiacheng's newspaper-"Shenjin Weekly".

As can be seen from the name, it is not only for Jinxia, ​​but for the entire territory of Shenzhou.

Only out of conservative considerations for new things, its first print is only 5,000 copies, which are distributed by three private bookstores and the official printing office of the bureau, and each sells for ten copper plates.

Wei Wushuang came to the nearest bookstore early in the morning, and found that he was not the first one—a lot of people had gathered in front of the shop, and the discussion was quite lively.

It seems that everyone is quite concerned about the actions of the bureau.

He didn't wear official robes, and naturally no one recognized him. With the generous physique endowed by the alchemist, Wei Wushuang easily squeezed into the crowd, but the scene in front of him surprised him.

The excitement is full of excitement, but the newspapers on the table are neatly arranged and no one can take them. Faced with the selling price of ten cents, most people chose to wait and see instead of buying directly.

What's more, on a small wooden board beside the table, the whole picture of the newspaper is also posted.

Anyone who is literate can get free of charge

"It turns out that this is a newspaper. I thought it was a book, but I didn't expect it to be two pieces of paper."

"If it's a book, it's fine. I can even decorate the facade when I buy it back. I always feel a little loss for ten cents to buy two pieces of paper."

"Lao Zhang, can you read the words? Those who kill fish usually want to decorate the facade with books, so you are not afraid of being laughed at by those scholars?" Someone half-joked.

"Say, what are you talking about! My son is in the school, who is not a scholar?" Lao Zhang retorted, "I don't know how to read, so I can't let my son read it to Lao Tzu?"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

"Hey, what exactly is said in the newspaper, can anyone tell me?"

"This is the most recent battle. It turns out that the master behind the scenes is the Naxiji Dynasty, whose name is...The Kingdom of Natatine."

"That's true, but why did they attack Jinxia over such a distance?"

"Because of the relationship with the elves. The princess and the elves have signed an agreement. They hit the elves and bullied them. Of course, we can't just sit back and watch!"

"That's right! Although the elves are monsters, if you have more contact, I find that they are actually quite good...especially the energetic girls of the Agency..."

As soon as the words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to the speaker.

"Uh, I didn't actually do it, just appreciate it!"

"But since the newspaper talks about fighting, why is there a portrait of a girl in the middle?" An onlooker changed the subject, "and the appearance of this woman...I'm afraid it's also a demon, right? "

"This adult is not an ordinary demon. She is a dragon, auspicious! And she is also the greatest hero in this battle!"

"Dragon?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Yes," the introducer said loudly, "The West Polar Fleet gallops into the sea without an opponent. Why is it trapped in the shallow sea of ​​Jinxia, ​​and is eventually swept away by a net? It is because Lord Long used a spell to block the sea breeze. That made it difficult for these warships to move! And in the final boarding battle, she was the first to take the lead in deterring the enemies on many warships in one fell swoop, which is a great contribution!"

"Oh————"

The crowd let out a sigh of emotion.

"It's a pity, such a good girl, but with snake eyes, is really daunting."

"Yes...In contrast, elves are easier to accept."

Crack.

Wei Wushuang seemed to hear the introducer gritted his teeth.

He shook his head and shouted to the shop, "Boss, here's a newspaper!"

"Eh," the store immediately greeted him with rubbing his hands, "Do I need to wrap it up for you?"

"No need, why don't you need to be so formal for ten cents."

"That's different, you are the first customer after the store opens!"

Wei Wushuang was startled, and pulled the store aside and asked in a low voice, "Is this newspaper really not bought?"

"Yes," the latter smiled wryly, "They all say that working with the bureau is a profitable business. It seems that I will be the first person to lose money."

Wei Wushuang felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that Xia Fan values ​​the Propaganda Department very much. The current plan is implemented by Fu Cheng himself. If the first battle fails, not only the Propaganda Department is shameless, but he is an affair. A member of the bureau will also feel frustrated.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know what to do about this matter.

After all, he is in charge of the grain department, and he came here to buy the newspaper because his father wanted to see it.

Back to his home, Wei Wushuang found that there was an extra pair of leather boots at the entrance of the hallway.

"Father, I am back."

"Oh, come and meet Mr. Zhuang soon," Wei Yan beckoned, motioning him to sit down at the table, "Do you remember this? The Anshen city merchant who took care of the grain shop business before."

"My boy remembers." Wei Wushuang bowed his hands in a formal salute, "I have seen Mr. Zhuang."

"Hey, it doesn't have to be the case. You are now the official of Jinxia City. I should salute you." The latter said with a smile on his face.

Since he was appointed by Xia Fan as the head of the grain department, not only the family's attitude towards him has changed 180 degrees, but also basically when guests visit. However, the feeling of raising his eyebrows in his heart didn't last long. On the contrary, he felt uncomfortable, even not as easy as before when he was lonely and unknown.

After a greeting, Wei Wushuang put the Shenjin Weekly News on the table, "Father, I have brought back the newspaper you wanted. I have to go to the bureau later, please forgive me for not staying with me for long."

"Newspaper? What is that?" Mr. Zhuang asked curiously.

"Oh, the new thing that Jinxiacheng made~IndoMTL.com~ I heard that with this thing, you can learn about the world's major events without leaving your house." Father Wei smiled, touching his beard, "I'm really curious. , Just let him buy a copy and take a look."

"Really?" He took the weekly newspaper curiously and looked up and down, "How much is this one?"

"Ten Wen." Wei Wushuang replied.

"So cheap?"

Wei Wushuang was stunned, and his hands that had been about to stand up were put back, "Do you think it...cheap?"

"Isn't it? Looking at the paper material, even a little ink is not penetrated on the back. Normal rice paper can't do it." Mr. Zhuang looked carefully, "The size of each character is basically the same, it should be carved The ink printed on the board is thick in color, and it is undoubtedly the top grade...The people who make this thing should have spent a lot of thought."

"You deserve to be an expert in a **** shop, and you can see so many ways." Wei Yan said astonished.

"This business is all about eating with the eyes. How can you not be sharp." The other party smiled and shook his head. "But let me say that the most valuable thing about this newspaper is not the paper and ink, but the portrait! "
