Chapter 314: Blind Report
The noise behind him gradually faded away. Anyway, it was over, so it was nothing. Xiao Jing left a little early, and Pan Feiyu would have to support him if there was anything.
What Xiao Jing didn't know was that Shao Ning, who had just made a smile, grinned and looked at the back of the audience who threw eggs at him after the show, and anger flashed across his face.
After struggling for a long time, he restrained the urge to run down the stage to settle the score. After sighing silently, he slowly walked to the backstage, repeating a sentence he heard from Xiao Jing at some point: "Xiao Jing, brother, I can only help you get here!"
After the dance performance, He Wan'er, who once again attracted the attention of everyone, almost all the audiences below the stage shed tears of sympathy, also stopped on the stage for a long time. It was not until Xiao Jing's figure completely disappeared from her sight that she bit her lip and left.
She really wanted to know whether she looked like Sister Xueer just now?
The place where Xiao Jing was going was not far from the performance. After walking for about a meal, he came to a very inconspicuous workshop. He gently buckled the door, and immediately a honest middle-aged man opened the gate and grinned and said, "Boss!"
Xiao Jing said "yes". Seeing him entering the yard, all the craftsmen who were working hard inside stood up, and he just said, "You guys are busy first, don't worry about me, I'm just here to take a look."
So, everyone started to work hard again. The yard was full of "cracking" and "clicking" sounds of carving and polishing wood, and wood chips were everywhere, making it difficult for people to find a place to get down.
Xiao Jing, who was called the "headmaster", didn't care. He kept wandering around. Once he saw that the thing carved by a craftsman did not meet the requirements, he would personally negotiate with him, without exception.
"Why should the boss be so anxious?" The middle-aged man in charge said with apologizing: "All the skilled craftsmen in the town are here, but I have never seen what the boss said before, and it is inevitable that there will be a mistake occasionally..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jing interrupted him: "Master Yu, I know it is a bit difficult to find such a job for you suddenly, but I have no choice. Let's do this. As long as these people can do what I want with quality and quantity as required, then after the matter is completed, I will add another 20% of the reward. How about it?"
Master Yu, who looked embarrassed, pondered for a long time and finally nodded.
The sun rises and the moon falls, and time soon arrives on the third day.
Today is the day when the Mirror Newspaper is released. People who have long been accustomed to buying newspapers from various purchasing agents were surprised to find that the newspaper seller in the newspaper actually took to the streets again!
Not only that, the number of newspaper boys as important retail channels has also increased a lot. However, they are not just about selling newspapers as before, but when they see acquaintances, they come forward and get close to them, and mysteriously promote something called "blind newspaper".
What's that thing?
Many old readers immediately became curious. However, that little curiosity was quickly dispelled: when they saw the people hired by the newspaper to drive the animals to bring a cart of wooden boards with various bumps, they all stepped forward and watched for a while, and then they lost interest in blind retribution.
People who can understand newspapers are literate, so how can they work hard to touch a wooden board? Besides, although blind newspapers are fresh things, their weight and volume are really daunting. Ordinary people have to consider how to store them when they are taken home. The value of its medium may not be as valuable as firewood. Since this is the case, why bother to do so?
Besides, the newspaper seller said that a blind newspaper sold 500 texts. Most people who are interested in trying it out are frightened by the price: Mirror newspaper only costs a few cents, who would spend so much more blind newspapers to read articles?
Therefore, except for a few young men who were so much money that they had nowhere to spend, the rest of them chose to stay away from them.
The sales were not open, but the people in the mirror were not anxious or upset. After creating topics in the city, the group worked tirelessly to drive the car outside the city for a walk, and then started the real itinerary according to a mysterious list.
Outside the Duke of Song Dynasty.
"This group of people is really not afraid of causing trouble for me." The doorman with an impatient look said angrily: "I actually left my things and left. What is the Duke's Mansion?"
Just now, a newspaper seller left a sentence and said goodbye with a smile. When the doorman came out, he saw that there was indeed a cart parked in the corner where he was talking about.
The man said that if the people in the Duke's mansion were willing to accept the gift, they would just pull it away; if they didn't want it, they just had to throw it there, and people would naturally recycle the car in the evening.
The concierge walked over and looked reluctantly. He was also a clever literate person who had been welcoming and seeing him off for many years. He picked up the letter under the tarpaulin and read a few sentences. He turned his eyes, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran into the mansion and called for someone.
The same is true for the Minister of Works Wang Shilang’s mansion.
He had long been a big fan of the Mirror. After returning home from office, he heard that someone had sent a gift, so he followed the servant to a secret place. He picked up the things in the car and looked at them for a long time. He couldn't help but sigh: "Although this gift is not worth much, it is very heavy!"
Not only wealthy families, but some poor families in the capital also received the same gifts, but they were considered to be borrowed. After all, the home is small and it is difficult to pile up so many miscellaneous items. Some people can recycle them and avoid worries.
Xiao Jing, who was in Puhua Town, listened to the rewards of all the people, his frown gradually relaxed.
The promotion of blind newspapers was very smooth. Most of the goals were accepted by the wooden boards sent by the newspaper, and even some old stubborn people who didn't like the mirror did not refuse.
This is thanks to Xiao Jing's arrangement.
In this era of lack of relevant scientific knowledge, various disabilities are generally associated with factors such as karma. Therefore, having blind people at home is a very private and shameful thing for those high-ranking businesses. How easy is it to be for people to accept blind retribution?
In view of this, Xiao Jing asked the newspaper delivery person to change the blind report to an ordinary cart outside the city. It was covered with cloth and no one could tell what was inside. Even the person in charge of transport had changed, and the car was parked in an inconspicuous place, so no one would associate the blind report with these people.
The so-called blind retribution is actually Xiao Jing processed the Braille and Pinyin of later generations according to his own needs, and then introduced them to the Darui Dynasty. There were no decent materials and craftsmanship these days, so he could only use the most time-consuming and labor-intensive but only feasible method: carve it out little by little with wooden boards!
After working hard for half a month, I made these thirty copies. Including the pinyin instructions attached to the blind newspaper, the newspaper spent a lot of money this time.
Chapter completed!
