Chapter 282

The passersby were initially confused.

But hearing that it involved the border, or that it was actually the big news about the Minister of War, etc.

There were always selling points that attracted people!

Everyone was shocked.

On every street, pedestrians quickly surrounded the newsboys.

"What kind of newspaper is this, it's actually five wen a copy, so expensive?"

Some commoners thought it was expensive and simply didn't want it.

Some couldn't resist the shocking news.

And wanted to bargain.

"If it's cheaper, I'll take it!"

【300】 Prime Minister Xiao Xiao Xiao Qinyan also reads the newspaper, Cai Yong's divine calligraphy amazes the Prime Minister

Unfortunately.

The newsboys were a bit embarrassed, but still refused to bargain.

Because this was a unified price that had been set.

They had no right to change it.

Fortunately.

There were plenty of people in Shenjing City who didn't care about money.

And five wen wasn't expensive.

So they immediately took out money: "Five wen, take it!"

"One Great Great Qian of silver, a reward for you, no need to change!"

Some even gave a big reward directly.

And all hurriedly wanted the newspaper to read.

Because the newspaper office set the price at five wen.

Any extra reward money, etc.

Belonged to the newsboys and didn't need to be handed in.

This made the newsboys smile with excitement: "Sir, thank you, distinguished guest, please take it!"

So they quickly sent out the newspapers one by one.

And these people who bought the newspapers were obviously literate.

Either standing on the spot to read.

Or continuing on their way while unfolding the whole big newspaper to read.

Everyone was immediately attracted by this newspaper!

This made others anxious.

And they didn't dare to bargain anymore.

They all endured the pain and bought a copy to try something new.

The snow-white Shenjing City, a soft sedan chair heading to the palace heard the newsboy's voice.

And lifted the curtain.

Revealing a goat-faced man wearing a first-rank civil official's robe, with sparse gray goat whiskers.

If Jia Hui were here, he would naturally recognize him.

This person was the former Governor of Suzhou, the Military Governor of Pingjiang, and the current Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Xiao Xiao Xiao Qinyan!

"Little child."

"Sir?"

"Go buy a copy and let me see."

"Yes."

A long-term attendant immediately went to buy a newspaper.

Inside the sedan chair, Xiao Xiao Xiao Qinyan opened it and looked.

He found that the area was very, very large, and the newspaper held in both hands almost reached the two sides of the sedan chair.

And it felt good.

The paper used for these newspapers in Jia Hui's workshop was special paper processed with special treatment.

These papers were almost comparable to modern newspapers.

The paper was thick and not easily damaged.

And it was neither hard nor soft, which could be said to be just right.

In terms of color, it was mixed with some hemp paper, so it looked a bit yellowish in Xiao Xiao Xiao Qinyan's eyes.

But it was very comfortable to look at.

And the fonts on it were neat, although they couldn't compare to the handwriting of those famous masters.

But it was clear at a glance and very suitable for ordinary people to read.

The whole newspaper.

The first issue used four pages.

In fact, it was still a small newspaper.

Newspapers have a saying about opening.

The size of the whole newspaper area is called by the opening of the white newsprint.

A newspaper the size of half a sheet of white newsprint is called a broadsheet, which is a big newspaper; a newspaper the size of a quarter of a sheet of white newsprint is called a tabloid, which is a small newspaper.

Jia Hui was currently using it because the content wasn't sufficient at the beginning, and only the Rongguo Prefecture and his own Marquis Marquis Wushuang Earl's mansion provided sources of articles.

After fully opening for submissions, the content would increase.

After it stabilized, it could become a big newspaper.

Although it was currently four pages, it was still very large.

It was neatly divided into several sections.

The first and second sections were political and military sections, and the third section was the current affairs section.

The fourth section was the commercial section, which would also be the main source of advertising profit for the newspaper office in the future.

The fifth section was the cultural section, collecting poems, articles, and songs of Great Great Great Qian scholars, including serialized novels, so it had the largest space.

Finally, there was the entertainment section, recording some interesting content, including sports news, horse racing, etc. Ancient entertainment was actually quite rich, not to mention zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and various cards, there were also pole climbing, handstands, jumping circles, throwing balls, jumping balls, throwing and catching bowls, monkey shows, circus, etc., so the content was very rich. Large-scale sports activities were horse racing, cuju, sumo, etc.

Then at the top of the newspaper.

It also indicated the number of the issue and the date of publication.

Basically, various elements that most modern newspapers have were already present on Jia Hui's "Great Great Great Qian Daily".

"Compared to the Di Bao, this is much larger... and the content is rich."

Xiao Xiao Xiao Qinyan commented after scanning it overall.

Di Bao had existed at least since the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, from ancient times to the present, it was used for official purposes.

The content was all serious political affairs, imperial edicts, etc.

Except for officials, basically no one was interested.

Subsequently, he continued to read carefully.

He started from the most conspicuous newspaper header.

Regardless of the size of the newspaper.

It consisted of a newspaper header, newspaper eye, layout, and columns.

The newspaper header was always placed in the most prominent position, mostly in the upper left corner of the first page, and some were placed in the middle above the first page. And Jia Hui's was based on the reading habits of the ancients, so it was placed on the opposite right side.

The layout of this newspaper was narrated from right to left, and the first line from top to bottom was four big characters: "Great Great Great Qian Daily"!

Below was the traditional date: Third year of Emperor Emperor Yongshun, December 4th issue.

The date was concise and clear at a glance.
