The Reborn Wife is Farming - Chapter 1174 Posting
Mu Yangling said indifferently: “I didn’t point to the newspaper to make money at the beginning, as long as my brother doesn’t want me to hand over the glass workshop and watch workshop to the company.”
“It’s not about money, it’s about prestige. Ah Ling, don’t you know the prestige gathered by the Times?”
“Then it doesn’t matter to me,” Mu Yangling said confidently, “I’m the cutest person in Daqi just because of the Harvest Grain Store. How can I use the newspaper to earn me some prestige?”
Mu Yangling thought that every time she went shopping now, someone would always kowtow to her from afar, so she sighed sadly, “It’s not a good thing to have too much reputation!”
“…” Qi Haoran could only nod to show that she was right.
“So you don’t mind handing over the newspaper?” Qi Haoran stared at his wife and asked.
Mu Yangling nodded briskly, “My original intention is to let the people of the world know state affairs, not to be deceived by local officials, to promote propriety, righteousness and shame, to let them know etiquette, right and wrong, the law, and know how to protect their own rights, so the newspaper is here It doesn’t matter who owns it, what matters is whether the newspaper can be run well, if you have a good way, I will naturally listen to you.”
Qi Haoran felt that Ah Ling, who had no desires and desires, was so cute, so he hugged her and said, “A Ling, you are so kind!”
Not everyone can resist the temptation of fame and fortune. The prestige given by the Times is no less than the accumulation of a great Confucian, and Ah Ling gave in when he said so.
Qi Haoran hugged her and said, “A Ling, I feel much nobler when I’m with you.”
Mu Yangling coughed embarrassingly, and whispered: “It’s not that the newspaper does not make money.”
Newspapers really don’t make money.
In order to allow more people to read the newspaper, she only sells a newspaper as big as five cents. In addition to the cost of printing, pen, ink and paper, there are also manuscript fees, salaries of the newspaper staff, and transportation costs for delivering the newspaper, etc. Excluding these costs, the profit of the newspaper office in the capital is less than a hundred taels, not to mention some remote state capitals, where the newspaper office is almost in balance. During the Chinese New Year, as long as the money is not lost, Mu Yangling can burn a stick of incense .
And in order to run the Times well, they also hold some events every year, inviting famous Confucians or ministers to attend. These costs are quite a lot, so the sum of the profits is enough to hold an event, and then send a medium-sized letter to the employees Red envelope.
The Times can also bring prestige, but money cannot bring it. Unless it squeezes employees or raises prices, there are only two quick ways to reduce printing costs and transportation costs.
That is to say, the Wang family’s great business is not afraid of losing money. If another person is replaced as the boss of the newspaper, she will not have the surname Mu if the other party’s hair turns gray.
It doesn’t make money after working so hard.
“Don’t look at the prestige of the Times now. That’s because we are the only newspaper in Daqi. After a few years, there will be more people running newspapers, and the reputation of the Times will drop.” Mu Yangling’s ownership of the Times Not persistent, if it wasn’t for Qi Xiuyuan’s pressure, after seeing the effect of the Times, the newspapers would have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
When he first saw the power of the Times, Qi Xiuyuan was afraid that someone would use the newspaper to do something wrong, so he issued an edict to order the local government to suppress it and not allow the second person to run the newspaper.
This pressure has lasted for so many years, but in a few years, the country will be pacified and Ansheng will be pacified, and the imperial court will come up with rules and regulations, and it will definitely decentralize power. By then, there will definitely be many people running newspapers.
Even if The Times is still the leader, its authority will be divided a lot.
Mu Yangling shared these analyzes with Qi Haoran, and concluded: “So running a newspaper is tiring, and it doesn’t make money. If it wasn’t for the benefit of the people, I really wouldn’t do this thankless thing. I can give up the ownership. Not bad.”
Qi Haoran immediately went to the palace to find Qi Xiuyuan, proudly but happily told him that he could consider taking over the newspaper.
Qi Xiuyuan took Li Jinghua’s hand and sighed, “I really don’t know what Ah Ling thinks, she always seems to care about something different from ours.”
Li Jinghua said with a smile: “If you want me to say that she is of high quality, she should be replaced by someone who is more selfish. You can let her go, even if it is not profitable, you can hold it in your hand and let it go to others.”
The two people in the palace were not at peace, and the outside world was also exploded because of a statement in the Times.
This statement was written by Mu Yangling himself. The writing is average, but everyone can understand it.
Mu Yangling first talked about her original intention of running a newspaper, and then looked forward to the future, and announced that she would open four more newspapers, and then told everyone that in addition to the newspaper’s regular recruiters, the general public is also welcome. The masses contribute manuscripts, and all manuscripts that pass the review can get a certain amount of manuscript fees after they are published.
The contributors are regardless of age, gender and class.
In the last two paragraphs of the letter, Mu Yangling emphasized Wenxiu Newspaper, a special newspaper for women.
She is a woman, and has always felt the difficulties of women. She hopes to help more women live a better life through Wenxiu News.
She hopes that one day women will become strong, confident, capable and upright, and there are also reasons based on this when she started the newspaper.
At the back of the statement is the address of the submission, all of which are the locations of newspapers in various places.
Once this statement was published, it caused huge waves.
Some people pay attention and can contribute to the newspaper, which means that they have the possibility of becoming famous;
Some people pay attention to the extra newspapers, and they are already looking forward to these newspapers;
Some people pay attention to what Princess Rong said about women, and feel that this princess treats women too much, but she is a woman herself, which is understandable.
At this time, the women in the back house were also reading this statement. At this moment, no matter how they felt about Mu Yangling, they couldn’t help admiring her.
Because no one has ever done a big thing for a woman, and Mu Yangling was the first.
Even Li Jinghua held the newspaper and wiped away tears, “Ah Ling is fine, I am proud to be at the same age as her.”
After being moved, Li Jinghua’s heart moved, and she asked Wen Cui, “How about I write the first article for Wenxiu Daily?”
At the same time, many girls and daughters-in-law in the back house are asking the people close to them, “Can I contribute to Wenxiu News?”
Even the old lady, who was over sixty years old, held the newspaper and asked the old woman next to her, “You said that if I contribute to Wenxiu News, will Princess Rong accept it?”
The old mother looked at the old lady who was trying to lower her voice, and said with black lines all over her head, “Why don’t you try?”
“Then go get a brush and ink,” the old lady hurriedly called to the old mother, and whispered: “Bring it quietly, don’t let others know, don’t those literati and refined scholars have a good name? I’ll take one too…”
That way no one would know it was her.
The old mama had black lines all over her head, but she still quietly came over with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
At the same time, there are obviously many people who have the same idea as the old lady, because it was only three days after the statement was published that Mu Yangling received a large stack of female submissions.
