The "Royal Newspaper" seems to have a larger audience than the "Natural History Newspaper", but it is updated slowly and the content is relatively high-end. Except for serious readers, most people will not want to read it.
Even scholars do not necessarily need to read the "Royal Newspaper". The book reading under her name has always kept up with current events and has been very dedicated in publishing various imperial examination books.
Therefore, books such as interpreting the "Royal Newspaper" were also published.
This type of books is more down-to-earth, mainly in vernacular, and more universal.
Even people who are not so well-educated in literature and have less solid knowledge can still understand it through reference books.
The "Royal Newspaper" only interprets the imperial examination and gives everyone a reference for the general direction. It is not a required test. There is also a more detailed reference book at the back, which is closer to the content of the imperial examination. Wouldn't the latter be better?
For the book school, as long as the teacher holds the "Royal Newspaper" in his hand, it is basically enough for the students of the book school.
"Why do you suddenly ask this question? Are you worried..." Thinking of the huge income gap between the two newspapers, Gu Qingling looked at Li Wenchong, "Is anyone jealous?"
Li Wenchong nodded: "You have forgotten that Prince Cheng is still outside and will not be able to come back for the Chinese New Year this year. Moreover... According to the news from the emperor's brother, he has been assassinated several times."
Can Gu Qingling say that she had already guessed it?
The benefits of Haiyan are too great, and the people behind will definitely be interested.
Now that Prince Cheng wants to conduct a thorough investigation, he is simply going against the other party. It would be strange if the other party doesn't attack Prince Cheng.
I just don’t know which side Emperor Mingguang wants to protect.
The extent to which the investigation can be carried out probably depends on Emperor Mingguang's attitude.
"No way? It's just a newspaper... Besides, this newspaper doesn't belong to Brother Can alone. There are so many princes and grandsons in the study room, and there are all of you accompanying them to read..." Gu Qingling said, "Even if there are people
No matter how tempted you are, you can't take the risk of offending so many people, right?"
As for Emperor Mingguang, Gu Qingling believed that a dignified emperor would not be like this...
Short-sighted.
Even if the newspaper gets into the hands of Emperor Mingguang, what will happen?
Is it possible that he can't let some benefits come out to his princes and grandchildren?
The majestic emperor cannot be so stingy.
For so many people, even if they have to pay taxes, how much will fall into the private pockets of Emperor Mingguang?
If Emperor Mingguang wanted this, he might as well ask Li Wenchong to set up a profitable project for him.
Gu Qingling believed that those cooperation projects that Li Wenchong secretly gave to Emperor Mingguang must have made more money than "Natural History".
Therefore, as long as his eyesight is not shallow, it is impossible for Emperor Mingguang to take a fancy to this.
As long as Emperor Mingguang doesn't like the "Natural History", he can still watch others snatch his son and grandson's newspapers?
"Jealousy is just one thing. I'm afraid that someone will be jealous and cause trouble secretly." Li Wenchong looked helpless and reminded Gu Qingling, "Don't forget, "Royal Newspaper" is still losing money."
"Uh...why do you think "Royal Newspaper" is losing money? Although I don't know the specific sales volume of "Royal Newspaper", it should be able to maintain its capital, right?"
"That's because you don't know what's going on inside." Li Wenchong had no choice but to ask the Three Emperors, Sun Li Zhen and others to help them polish their pens. Every time they came to the house, they were always empty-handed.
It was said that he had prepared a few gifts, but since he was a prince and grandson, how could the preparations be bad?
Once, twice, three times, four times...
It's not like Li Jin, the king of Jinjun, came forward. A group of children were running around. How could they not prepare something?
Li Wenchong doubted: "I don't know if the newspapers they bought have made back the money they gave as gifts."
"Uh..." This is really difficult.
Gu Qingling really didn't expect that the article in the "Royal Newspaper" was not only paid for the manuscript, but also had additional "retouching fees".
No, it shouldn't be said to be a writing fee, it should be a "visiting fee".
If it's a running fee, then "Royal Newspaper" is simply breaking the rules of the newspaper industry.
Which newspaper accepts articles without paying some royalties?
If your quota is large and the content of your article is high, the manuscript fee will be higher; if you are a newbie and not well-known, the manuscript fee will be lower. This is normal.
But now, in order to get the great scholar of the time to come forward, you are sending this and that. Who will dare to come to ask for the writings of the great scholar of the time in the future?
Gu Qingling said: "Then... will the "Royal Newspaper" be run in the future? If it keeps losing money like this, it won't last long, right? And if they keep hiring great scholars and Mr. Imperial College... no matter how productive they are, they can't keep it every month.
Article. Even if you queue up to come, it won’t be easy to get invited after one or two years, right?"
The great Confucians and Imperial Confucian Masters of the time are no different from others. Their personnel are relatively fixed and there will be no major changes within a few years.
So, what new ideas can "Royal Newspaper" come up with?
Spring Festival only happens once every three years, and the "Royal Newspaper" looked down on other county and government examinations.
So a few years later, "Royal Newspaper"...
Li Wenchong shook his head: "How do I know this? I'm just worried. Originally, Sanhuangsun and the others were following the example of Brother Can and the others in running the newspaper. As a result, the newspaper run by Cangeer and the others was profitable and prosperous. Sanhuangsun and the others were
But it turned out to be an anticlimax. When the comparison comes, it doesn't matter if the faces of the Third Emperor and Sun are not good-looking, I'm just afraid that my second nephew is petty and will be noted..."
To be honest, he is not afraid of the three emperors and their grandsons, but what he is afraid of is Li Jin, the king of Jinjun.
This guy is patient and thoughtful.
There is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days, only one who can commit a thief for a thousand days. Li Wenchong was worried that if he was not careful, Yao Jiuye would be plotted by others.
"It's just a newspaper, and it's so troublesome..." When Yao Jiuye started it, Gu Qingling really didn't expect that they would do it so well.
Or the newspaper is dead and alive, so it just comes here and no one will be greedy.
But it’s done well…
If you do it well, it will be easy to attract people's attention.
Gu Qingling frowned.
Li Wenchong also frowned and said, "Forget it, I'll talk to the emperor tomorrow and see what he says."
the next day.
After the morning court, Li Wenchong met Emperor Mingguang in private and mentioned the matter.
When Emperor Mingguang looked at the annual income of "Natural History", he immediately understood what Li Wenchong was worried about.
"How come there is so much money? This "Natural History" is so profitable?"
Li Wenchong said: "There are still few of them now. If "Natural History" continues to make money, we will apply for patents later. Not to mention big ones, even small things like the magic wheel ornaments can also make the inventor and
The newspaper makes a fortune. If there are a few more items...the amount will only be greater."
"Do you really think that everyone is a craftsman's workshop in the hands of your princess?"
"I know, but brother Huang, with the current profit of the Natural History Journal, it doesn't need to be like a craftsman's workshop. It is originally a newspaper, and patents are just additional income." Li Wenchong said, "The Natural History Journal
The income of "Zhibao" is not low, and adding icing on the cake makes it even more enviable. If Brother Can and the others have grown up and they have such an income, I think it is nothing, but the problem is that they are still in their prime years
