Scholar: It Smells So Good!
It was even more worthwhile than buying a lottery ticket!
Chu Wen thought happily.
Although there was so much silver, and a portion of it was the cost, the profit was still very considerable.
After all, the workers were all servants.
The monthly salary was not high. The biggest cost was the paper and ink.
However, excluding these, there was at least about 80% profit.
He had earned a lot.
It was comparable to robbery.
Moreover, he didn't have to bear the cost.
With so much income, Chu Wen's vision immediately went further.
Because he did not intend to be a stable bookseller.
He wanted to be the first publishing group in Tang.
Now, the book publishing business had officially begun.
However, if he wanted to make a name for himself, he still had to develop the newspaper.
After all, it took a lot of time to finish a book.
However, the newspaper was one copy a day.
If business was good, they could even get two servings a day.
A morning newspaper and an evening newspaper.
In short, he could expand his influence indefinitely.
What was even rarer was that with his current identity, he could often obtain a lot of insider information.
Right now, there was a very good opportunity in front of him.
That was to go to Tibet.
With his relationship with Li Daozong's son-in-law, wouldn't it be easy for him to obtain first-hand information from the front?
Therefore, Chu Wen immediately set his sights on his father-in-law.
Before Li Daozong left for the expedition, Chu Wen had specially gone to the Li Residence to participate in the ceremony and had also mentioned this matter to his father-in-law.
Moreover, Li Daozong had found a particularly reliable servant.
He would accompany him on the expedition.
They were in charge of transmitting information and battle reports.
Of course, these military routes and battle reports would naturally be filtered.
Otherwise, it would be a secret leak.
"Qi San 'er, I have a mission for you. Help me find a group of scholars with good writing skills. I need a group of writers with good remuneration.”
Qi San 'er was stunned.
She wondered what Old Master was planning to do.
However, he could guess that it must have something to do with publishing.
Qi San 'er immediately left.
Chang 'an City had no shortage of poor scholars.
Qi San 'er spent less than two days to find more than twenty scholars.
After that, Chu Wen received these scholars in the courtyard.
Since he was a writer, he would first have to check his writing skills.
Therefore, the first stage was the exam.
The scholars looked at each other and instantly exploded.
What was going on? Wasn't it just looking for a job? Why did they have to take an exam?
How could there be such a rule?
Even if he was a guest of a wealthy family or an accountant, he did not have to suffer such humiliation.
Everyone started to clamor.
"Young Master Chu, you're too much of a bully. We're scholars, and we're just looking for a job. You actually want us to take a test.”
"You've insulted your predecessors. There's no place for you to put your face on.”
"A gentleman is bound to be poor, but no matter how poor he is, he should not be poor in character. Young Master Chu's actions are really too hurtful.”
“……”
Looking at everyone's expressions, Chu Wen smiled faintly.
Then, without any words of persuasion.
Instead, he stretched out five fingers.
The scholars were stunned.
What was going on?
What did five fingers mean?
He didn't know what kind of riddle Chu Wen was playing.
Chu Wen shook his five fingers and slowly said,""Five taels of silver, and it's a monthly salary. If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, forget it. The doors of the Chu family were always open, and they welcomed everyone to leave.”
He knew that money could make the world go round.
Five taels of silver, in this era, was already a considerable amount.
If he used the words before he transmigrated, he would definitely be a white-collar worker with a monthly salary of five taels.
He didn't believe that he couldn't find her even with so much money.
Sure enough, the next moment.
The scholars immediately put down their dignity.
His expression changed rapidly.
"Since you're a writer, it's indeed necessary for you to be assessed. After all, he had to look at the standard of the article.”
"That's right. Young Master Chu is really thoughtful.”
"Since you're a scholar, if you're still afraid of the test, then you're guilty.”
"Isn't it just a test, a test!"
Chu Wen burst into laughter.
Did scholars have no dignity?
The contrast was too great.
However, since you're willing to work for me, that's fine.
He only needed loyal employees, not troublemakers with personalities.
At that moment, according to the three sections of " Current Affairs Review "," Military Information Express ", and " Eight Trigrams Chang 'an ", he stated his requirements.
He asked everyone to write an answer.
The scholars looked at each other, feeling that their understanding had been subverted.
They had never come into contact with such content.
That's right. After all, he was a wordsmith. After pondering for a while, he began to write.
The final result was out very quickly.
Chu Wen left eight people behind.
There was only one newspaper at the moment, so there were not many writers and editors needed.
In fact, strictly speaking, this half person was just so-so.
Other than one or two people who were particularly outstanding, the others still needed further training.
The scholar who failed the selection was dejected.
Just as he was about to leave, Chu Wen asked Qi San 'er to give each scholar a red packet with two taels of silver inside.
It was considered a reward for his hard work.
They were all poor scholars, and it really wasn't easy.
Just treat it as charity.
The scholars were overjoyed.
He didn't expect that there would be money for an exam.
Although they didn't pass the assessment, they were all overjoyed.
Two taels of silver could be called a little pink head again.
Or drink some good wine.
Chu Wen gave the remaining scholars some training.
He mainly talked about the knowledge of the news and how to cut in and how to get interesting and explosive points.
Hearing this, the scholars sighed in admiration.
Everyone already knew that Chu Wen was the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The characters were naturally very impressive.
He didn't expect that when he was talking about how to write news, he could analyze so many things from a normal incident.
Truly amazing!
Everyone looked at Chu Wen with admiration.
Very soon, the scholars began to work.
Some of them directly chose the hot spots in the marketplace.
Some of them were specialized in writing about the progress of the military situation, writing about the Tubo war in detail in the newspapers.
As for the current affairs commentary, Chu Wen decided to write it personally for the first few episodes.
It could also be considered as a show for the scholars.
He wanted to show them what a real current affairs commentary was.
Of course, his method was very simple.
He directly searched for some current affairs reviews from his memory and then changed it to a complete excellent current affairs review.
Of course, the words were also relatively simple.
It could be considered a mixture of literary and white. After all, this was more in line with the characteristics of the era.
If they were to change everything to vernacular, it would affect the style of the newspaper.
A few days later, the first issue was published.
Once it was launched, the entire Chang 'an Fortress exploded.
Once again, the scene of Luo Yang paper being expensive appeared.
Almost everyone who could read had a newspaper in their hands.
