Neither the emperor nor the Ministry of Internal Affairs found fault with it, so Shen Yi's first draft passed the review smoothly and can be arranged for subsequent publication.
Di Bao is currently not making any money.
Because the cost of printing in this era was relatively high and the movable type printing technology was not very mature, the Di Bao had to be carved one edition at a time, requiring dozens of craftsmen to do it at the same time. Therefore, the cost of printing was not low, and the imperial court kept the Di Bao
The company was used as a mouthpiece, so the price when the Dibao was sold was not very high, so overall it was not profitable, and the court had to subsidize it.
However, after Mr. Shen takes over, Di Newspaper Company will completely turn losses into profits.
However, making money is making money, and growing is growing. It is absolutely impossible to develop into the Jin Yiwei of another world at present.
Because at its peak, the number of Jinyiwei had expanded to 100,000. With the financial capacity of Dibaosi, it was absolutely impossible to support so many people.
Because Di Newspaper Division cannot collect protection fees like Jinyiwei, the imperial court will not allow them to do so.
Of course, the Di News Agency is still just a prototype, and the current way to make money is very simple. Now the emperor has tacitly agreed that the Di News Agency can develop into an intelligence agency on its own. When this intelligence agency gradually forms a scale, there will naturally be other
Ways to make money.
After the first draft of the next edition was finalized, Shen Sizheng, who took office as a new official, began to convene meetings with informants from the Di News Department.
Nowadays, in Jiankang City, there are about 200 people responsible for providing intelligence to the Di Newspaper Division. These people are non-staff and do not have fixed salaries. In the past, the Di Newspaper Division would give more or less information based on the information they provided.
some money.
And now, the Di Newspaper Department has a new Sizheng.
Shen Yi spent almost three days to select nearly 30 young and capable people from these 200 informants, and took them into the Di Newspaper Division, making them official employees of the Di Newspaper Division, who were paid on time every month
The money kind.
Since they are formal workers, upper and lower classes will naturally begin to form. Shen Yi did not appoint them directly. Instead, he gave these thirty people a one to two month inspection period, at which time three small flags will be selected.
As well as a general banner, the salary and benefits will be a level higher than others.
No matter what era they are in, gaining wealth is something that everyone is passionate about. With the treatment as a foundation, these people are naturally full of energy and they all pat their chests and promise Shen Yi that they will do a good job.
These thirty people are the "start-up team" of the intelligence agency of the Dijing News Agency.
In the subsequent development process, some people in this start-up team will climb up the ranks and gradually become excellent intelligence personnel or managers, while some people will inevitably fall behind and be eliminated by this team.
These are inevitable things.
And Shen Yi still has a lot to do.
To be honest, he needs some professional intelligence trainers to train these newcomers, and he also needs a few more professional accounting offices to set up the "branch office" of the Di Di newspaper department.
However, all of this needs to be done slowly and cannot be done in a month or two.
There is no other way to find professional intelligence training personnel but to find them in the internal security department. As for the accounting office, let’s see if we can find a way to recruit some professionals from the accounts department.
After all, Mr. Shen has an uncle who is about to become the Minister of Household Affairs, so the latter should not be a difficult task for him.
In this way, Mr. Shen, who was full of enthusiasm, worked in the Di Newspaper Division for four or five days in a row, and finally transformed the Di Newspaper Division into shape. In the next few days, he, the company, ignored the administrative staff.
Instead, he started asking people to collect "dirty information" about the Yang family and prepare to write a short essay about Young Master Yang.
Young Master Yang, Yang Fan, could not be said to have done all the bad things in Jiankang, at least he was notorious. In the past, his father, Yang Jingzong, had all the power in the court. Naturally, no one dared to gossip about him. But now, the old man
Yang Xiang has retired from the book and spends all day playing chess and drinking tea at home, without the protection of the power in the court...
Too many people are willing to speak ill of the Yang family.
There was no need for professional intelligence personnel at all. In just two or three days, with the help of the thirty unprofessional intelligence personnel from the Di newspaper department, a lot of dirty information about Mr. Yang had already appeared on Shen Yi's desk.
Shen Sizheng was not polite and planned to start writing a short composition about the Yang family that day.
Of course, this kind of short composition is full of political manipulation, so it must be reported to the emperor first and cannot be printed directly.
As for the emperor, there is no shortage of dirty information about the Yang family. As for when the emperor will settle these old accounts, it all depends on how the war is going on the front line.
The imperial court started fighting with the Qi people in the spring, and the two sides have been fighting for several months. During these months, conflicts continued on the front line, and Chen Guo's battle was not going well.
Baimengshu
There are wins and losses, but overall it's a loss.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the court became very delicate.
For example, before the candidate for the queen has been decided, some people are already thinking about the title of the noble concubine after the Northern Qi princess enters the palace.
However, all of this has nothing to do with Shen Yi. He commutes to and from get off work steadily every day and does his own thing step by step.
Until this afternoon.
Shen Yi left the newspaper office early as usual. Because the weather was hot and dry, when Shen Yi returned home, he asked his two maids to fill a basin of hot water and take a hot bath.
After taking a bath, Mr. Shen stretched out a lot and felt comfortable all over. He lay on the lounge chair in his yard, closed his eyes, and said lazily: "Qing'er."
The maid Qing'er came over, poured a cup of tea for Shen Yi, placed it on the low table beside him, and said with a smile: "Master, do you have anything to say?"
"I received a letter from Jiangdu today. The master is already on his way to Jiankang. He will arrive in Jiankang probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest. In the past two days, you have packed up the main house at home. If there is anything missing, buy it.
Don't wait for my father to come over, we are short of this and that."
This second-entry house given by the emperor is really not small, with more than ten or twenty rooms. However, because Shen Yi has elders in the family, he does not live in the largest main house in the north, but in the east of the courtyard.
In the eldest son's room, the largest room has always been empty and no one lives in it.
It's not that Shen Yi is pedantic, it's because his father is still alive and he is not married, so he must abide by the rules.
Qing'er responded, nodded and said: "Ping'er and I also clean the main room on weekdays. Tomorrow, when the slaves go to Dongshi Street to buy some things and decorate it, the master can live in it."
Shen Yi lay on the recliner with squinted eyes.
"I'll have some ice delivered tomorrow and use it in every room in the house. The weather is too hot."
Having said this, he opened his eyes and glanced at Qing'er: "Tell me when the money is gone."
Qing'er smiled and nodded, and just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the front door of Shen's house.
Shen Yi lay still and Qing'er had already walked over. She was not in a hurry to open the door and asked who it was.
A young voice came from outside the door.
"Zhao Zhuo from Qingzhou is here to bring his sister-in-law to apologize to Shen Sizheng."
Zhao Clan's ancestral home is Qingzhou.
It is worth mentioning that Qingzhou is now in the hands of Northern Qi and has been lost.
Qing'er turned around, ran all the way to Shen Yi, and repeated to Shen Yi in a low voice.
Si Zheng Chen opened his eyes, stood up from the recliner, and then looked at the door of his courtyard.
