    Zhou Buyi intercepted the essence of Sima Hui's eloquent talk, and was chased by Sima Hui for half of the private school.

    "Sir, please calm down!"

    "Sir, please take a rest!"

    Zhou Bujie finally escaped, but fortunately Cao Pi laughed at him for a long time.

    "Zihuan, you are gloating about misfortune, the consequences will be serious!" Zhou Buji threatened.

    "Senior brother is doing things for the teacher, what's wrong with being beaten a little? What's wrong with being laughed at a little?" Cao Pi said.

    Zhou Buyi actually agreed!

    The two tinkered for a long time and finally produced the first newspaper. It happened that Sima Hui also completed the work.

    Zhou Bujie greeted him enthusiastically and said, "Sir, just leave the printing to me!"

    "Who knows if you will do anything inside?" Sima Hui snorted coldly.

    "How dare students?" Zhou Buyi said pitifully.

    So, Sima Hui supervised the whole process and felt very happy as he watched the newspapers being printed one by one.

    Although this is not publishing a book, it is only slightly worse than publishing a book!

    During this period, Sima Hui also read the newspaper that Zhou Buyi had decided on. The content in it was varied, with order in the chaos.  When he saw Liu Ke's record section, Sima Hui blew his beard and glared:

    "You little naughty boy!"

    Although Sima Hui expressed dissatisfaction, this was within the scope of reasonable competition.

    The printing work is not such a simple matter, and it exceeds the estimated time.

    After all, Ma Jun had just improved the printing tools, and the workers were not particularly familiar with them yet.

    The font size is now very small, but the newspaper is still four times the size of later generations. After all, it can only print one side.

    In the end, Sima Hui and Zhou Buyi¡¯s newspapers each printed 10,000 copies.  Zhou Bujie couldn't wait to test the market.

    However, neither of them had experience in how to sell newspapers. Zhou Buji suggested: "How about we each select a hundred newsboys from primary school and sell them on the street. I wonder what Mr.'s ideas are?"

    The most important thing on the first day is to build a reputation.  Sima Hui knew nothing about this aspect, not to mention that he had confidence in himself, so he let Zhou Buyi do the hard work.

    So, Zhou Buyi took two hundred of his younger brothers to the street sign to lecture them.

    Simply tell them that a newspaper costs ten copper coins.

    At the same time, Zhou Buyi posted two newspapers on the notice board, attracting countless people to watch.

    After that, the boys dispersed and started selling newspapers. On one side they shouted, "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! Saint articles marked by Mr. Shui Jing!", and on the other side, "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! Report on the deeds of Marquis Dongyang!"

    Sima Hui was watching from the tea shop nearby. When he heard the shouts, he smiled slightly.  Although Dongyang Hou is a good rising star, Sima Hui believes in scholars more.

    After one day, all 20,000 newspapers were sold out, and there was no winner.

    Twenty thousand copies were printed the next day, and the Comprehensive Newspaper was sold out, while the Sage Newspaper only sold half. The verdict was clear.

    In the first issue of the newspaper, Comprehensive Newspaper won.

    Liu Ke did not rush to force Sima Hui and asked Zhou Buji to prepare the second issue of the new newspaper. The sales volume of the Comprehensive Newspaper crushed the Sage Newspaper.

    Sima Hui is willing to admit defeat and come to apologize.

    "What's wrong with Mr. Shui Jing? It's just a collision of different ideas. There will be many more in the future." Liu Kedao.

    Sima Hui was very disappointed. He didn¡¯t know why the sage¡¯s words failed, so he said: ¡°Please give some advice from Marquis Dongyang. The sage¡¯s words have fallen to this point. Isn¡¯t it possible that people¡¯s hearts are not ancient?¡±

    "Mr. Shui Jing's words are wrong. There are also words of saints in the comprehensive newspaper. Saints are always saints. However, when people read the words of saints, they will choose some interesting stories to spice it up. Scholars who like to read the words of saints will  Buy the Comprehensive Newspaper. Young people who like military operations will buy the Comprehensive Newspaper. Business people engaged in commercial activities will buy the Comprehensive Newspaper" Liu Ke analyzed it for a long time, which opened Sima Hui's eyes.

    After Sima Hui returned, he did not study in seclusion, but asked for advice from everywhere. Even Zhou Buyi was asked several questions.

    ¡°Teacher, I completed the task!¡± Zhou Busuo happily reported.

    "Is this also called completing a task? How did you sell the newspaper? I invested 500,000 gold to let you hire a newsboy?" Liu Ke scolded.

    "" Zhou Buyi.

    "Build some newsstands in the main streets of the city, sell some books, and recruit some down-and-out scholars to come over as clerks, or?Contract out.  Also, for some poor students who want to pass the imperial examination and who failed in both exams, give them a job at a newsstand or as an editor. Don't let them idle around.  "Liu Kedao has arranged many jobs.

    "Teacher, you are so amazing!" Zhou Busuo said.

    "Those who fail the imperial examination twice in the future and do not have a legitimate occupation will refuse to take the imperial examination for the third time, even the second generation of rich people." Liu Kedao said that in the future, it will be necessary to specify which occupations, such as teachers and newsstands, can continue to participate in the imperial examination.  Some rich second generations want to rely on their family's industry and refuse directly.

    Reading a dead book can't create value!

    "By the way, the third imperial examination is about to begin. You go find someone from the Ministry of Etiquette to discuss the rules and then publish them in the newspaper." Liu Kedao.

    Teacher, no one can use you now?

    Zhou Busuo was slandering him in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it openly. Just because he was honest, he had recently broken his legs.

    I don¡¯t know if these old guys from the Ministry of Rites are easy to talk to.

    When the newspaper published the first information about the imperial examination, it suddenly exploded in the audience.

    If you want to take part in the imperial examination, how can you rest assured if you don¡¯t buy a newspaper and read it yourself? What¡¯s more, it only costs ten copper coins.

    As a result, the sales of newspapers continued to rise. This issue of the newspaper about the imperial examination sold a total of 500,000 copies.

    ¡°After all, it¡¯s not just people in Dongyang City who are watching, some students bought several copies and mailed them to their friends.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????? Selling a favor for ten copper coins, why not?

    Newspapers suddenly became a hot industry, and everyone knew about it.

    As the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Sima Hui also appeared in front of others and became a man of the hour in Yangzhou. He no longer had to walk with his head down when meeting Cai Yong.

    The students in the private school held their heads high and contributed articles to the newspaper one after another.

    Some random remarks were also made, and Sima Hui whipped him around with a whip, which made Zhou Busuo tremble with fear.

    Apart from Sima Hui, the most famous brothers are Tao Shang and Liu Shang. They are also very popular and their business is booming.

    Businessmen have always been very keen and immediately saw business opportunities in newspapers.  However, these people were all driven away by Sima Hui.

    Liu Ke didn¡¯t run a newspaper just for fun. After seeing some followers appearing, he directly asked the government to arrest them and imprison them for a few days before releasing them.

    When it comes to public opinion, it¡¯s better to keep it in your own hands.  When the trend of thought develops subtly, it will definitely be too late for the family to stop it.

    However, some chamber of commerce giants still came to visit, hoping to get a piece of the pie.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
