"Four to six times?" Xue Yuanchao was overjoyed when he heard this amount.
Based on the existing quantity, he reluctantly distributed the three realms. If the increase was four to six times, he would have full confidence to send all the ten realms of the Han Dynasty as well as Tubo, Southeast Asia, the north and other places, although the quantity was still insufficient.
, but it has been implemented throughout the entire Han Dynasty.
"Okay, General Manager Zhao is indeed His Majesty's right-hand man, but this increase in the number of printings will be enough for the entire Han Dynasty to see Chang'an Daily. With this help, why should the Han Dynasty worry?"
Seeing Xue Yuanchao's support, Zhao Wenshu felt happy. He reminded: "However, I heard that the Chang'an Daily is not charging money for distribution in various places. For such a huge amount, will the Ministry of State provide corresponding silver to support the report to the government?"
Xue Yuanchao smiled and said: "The manager is interested. Your Majesty has long said that Chang'an Daily will start charging after thirty days of publication. The price is not expensive, three cents per piece. Currently, Chang'an Daily costs 200,000 per day."
It can produce 600 taels of silver per day. If we calculate it for the whole year, it can generate more than 1.8 million taels of silver. After deducting various costs, there is still a surplus of nearly 200,000 taels of silver."
After a pause, he added: "According to what the general manager said, if it is increased five times, the surplus reported to the government every year will be more than one million taels. Of course, the surplus will still need to be sold by Chang'an Daily. If the sales volume is insufficient,
, the remaining newspapers are rotten in my hands, and it is not impossible to suffer a deficit."
After hearing Xue Yuanchao's explanation, Zhao Wenshu felt relieved.
Chang'an Daily has become a trend. Whether it is dignitaries or ordinary people, as long as they can read, they will buy it and read it. Even ordinary people who cannot read will buy a few copies to collect or use them elsewhere. These newspapers are used for drying.
Drying fish is quite effective, and many people are trying to imitate it.
In addition, the Han Dynasty has absorbed surrounding foreign countries, and the population has exceeded 100 million. It is easy to sell a mere million.
Next, he told Xue Yuanchao about his second matter.
"Xue Baolang also knows that the expansion of the industrial city, whether it is the construction of houses or the number of workers, requires an equal increase. In the past, when His Majesty was here, these people were poor people brought back by His Majesty, and they were attracted by high salaries.
If the nearby farmers who have settled here expand at the same time, I won't be able to attract so many people."
"Since Chang'an Daily has spread throughout Chang'an and the three provincial governments, I would like to ask Xue Baolang to open a separate issue in the newspaper specifically to publish news about the recruitment of migrant workers in the industrial city, and to support the industrial city with the power of the three provincial governments.
Expand as quickly as possible.”
"Recruit farm workers?"
Upon hearing these four words, a flash of inspiration flashed through Xue Yuancao's mind.
"Manager Zhao, I will do my best to meet your request. However, I think this news of recruiting agricultural workers is inappropriate."
Zhao Wenshu: "Huh?"
He looked at Xue Yuanchao with some surprise, wondering what the young man in white was thinking.
Xue Yuanchao did not give in. He said bluntly: "If you just recruit farm workers and promise high salaries, it may attract farmers from nearby areas. However, the people in Hadong Province, Shannan Province and Gyeonggi Province are far apart, but the inducement may not be enough."
It can attract enough people to come.”
Although these words came from the young man's mouth, they sounded quite reasonable to Zhao Wenwen.
Everyone is equal, and the young man can also be his teacher. Zhao Wenwen handed over his hand and asked him for advice: "I wonder what Xue Baolang has?"
Xue Yuanchao said: "In fact, no matter whether they are ordinary people or experienced craftsmen, what they want is nothing more than a happy life, meat for every meal, and clothing every year. A mere amount of money is not enough to make them leave their hometowns. In my humble opinion, we should
Send several writers to go deep into the Industrial City and Qinjiazhuang, select the people who have changed the most from the two places, refine their advantages, combine them with the background of the vigorous development of the Industrial City and Qinjiazhuang, and then supplement it with His Majesty's
Comparing the living conditions of the hungry people here before intervention, we can build the industrial city into a beautiful home with unlimited future development space. Only in this way can we bring in a large number of manpower."
After hearing Xue Yuan's superb remarks, Zhao Wenwen was amazed again and again.
"As expected of the court's Tanhualang. When His Majesty ordered you, the Emperor's Tanhualang, to come and run Chang'an Daily, I didn't understand it. It wasn't until today that I discovered that Xue Baolang actually has the grace of His Majesty!
"
Xue Yuancao hurriedly whispered: "I dare not compare myself with His Majesty."
Seeing his attitude, Zhao Wenwen laughed and said: "Don't worry, Xue Baolang, your majesty said that everyone is equal. It's not a lie. Since Xue Baolang has your majesty's style, it's too late for your majesty to be happy. You won't be blamed for this, and you will follow him again."
Your Majesty, you will know after a while."
After being told off by Zhao Wenshu, Xue Yuanchao realized at this moment that he had made a mistake. Indeed, since everyone is equal, why not be compared with His Majesty? Even if His Majesty is the emperor of the entire world, what is the difference between him and ordinary people?
The world he wants to build is a world where everyone is treated equally.
"Thank you, manager, for the tip. I will definitely keep it in mind."
Zhao Wenwen looked at this man with a sigh in his heart.
After all, he is an eighteen-year-old young man who has a well-founded approach to advance and retreat, is happy to gain and not sad to lose. He can enter a place where he can live in a palace, watch the whole Han Dynasty, come out and ride on a horse in white clothes, and soar around the world.
The big man can be prosperous.
After that, the two said goodbye, and Zhao Wenshu began to prepare for the expansion of the entire industrial city. He first invited Mr. Huang from Qinjiazhuang and Guanjia Jia to discuss the matter, and then held a village-wide meeting in Qinjiazhuang to determine the matter.
After thinking about it for a while, Xue Yuanchao realized that the expansion of the industrial city might be far more than just increasing the number of households and productivity. If a large city with complete living and industrial facilities could be successfully built, all states in the world could follow suit.
In this way, the Industrial City, in His Majesty's plan, is a future model for cities all over the world.
Regarding the report on the Industrial City, we cannot simply send a few writers there. Linghu Defen is responsible for handling the daily affairs of the newspaper office. He must personally take Chen Yuanqing, He Jinfang and He Zhi to the Industrial City and Qinjiazhuang to report on
This matter will be fully reported.
On the other side, inside Hangzhou Mansion.
When Qin Huaidao received the news about the Ministry of State's report that month and the news about the expansion of the industrial city and the expansion of Chang'an Daily from Zhao Wenshu and Xue Yuanchao, Long Xin was overjoyed.
"Well, you are indeed the person I like. On behalf of the Ministry of State Affairs, the Industrial City and Chang'an Daily are on the right track. We only need to check various places and dig out the moths. Under the Qingming Order of the Han Dynasty, my next plan is
It can be implemented.”
His eyes gradually looked in the direction of Yuezhou.
Jiangnan Daofu, Supervisory Envoy Situ Xing.
Where did he misappropriate the tax money in the past few years?
If you want to know the truth, you have to go there in person.
