Newspapers are almost obsolete in later generations. People rarely read newspapers. There are various channels to obtain news information.
But for today¡¯s Ming Dynasty, running a newspaper is not an easy task.
There are two problems in running a newspaper, one is paper and the other is printing technology.
Paper and printed books are already available in this era, but they are not suitable for large-scale newspapers.
Paper is very expensive in this era, not ordinary. A random stack of paper can cost hundreds of cents. Calculating that a piece of paper the size of a later newspaper would cost several cents.
In addition to being expensive, most paper is of poor quality, and good-quality paper is even more expensive. Like rice paper, its quality is very good, but if rice paper is used to make newspapers, Liu Jin will lose money. Pawn them all.
In addition to the problem of paper, printing technology is also a problem. This printing technology is not only a problem of printing, but also a problem of ink.
Liu Jin could improve the printing technology on the basis of movable type printing, and it was barely enough, but the ink was not so easy to solve. The ink used for printing is different from the ink used for writing calligraphy. , the ink used for writing calligraphy is slowly ground out from an ink block and water.
Naturally, it is impossible to operate this kind of printing. It requires a special printing ink.
"You have to eat one meal at a time, and things have to be solved one by one. Fortunately, I have a golden finger, otherwise I really don't know how to run this newspaper. In the time-travel novel, running a newspaper without a golden finger is definitely a fool's errand. It¡¯s nonsense, it¡¯s simply impossible.¡±
Listing the problems he encountered one by one, Liu Jin was also prepared to solve them one by one. With golden fingers, various techniques were not a problem, and Liu Jin himself had trained many skilled craftsmen. It¡¯s not difficult to come up with a certain foundation.
In fact, Liu Jin has almost solved this problem, because when the First Bank of Ming Dynasty issued banknotes, Liu Jin had already built a paper mill and a printing plant.
The paper factory, under the guidance of Liu Jin, produced very good quality paper specially used to print banknotes. The paper used to print banknotes is special paper with cotton and lint added to it. So the quality is good and it will be fine if it comes in contact with water.
Of course, it is impossible for Liu Jin to use such paper to print newspapers. It is too expensive. Making such paper is more expensive than rice paper. But with this foundation, making some relatively cheap paper is not a problem at all.
Anyway, Liu Jin doesn¡¯t plan to make money by running a newspaper, as long as he doesn¡¯t lose too much.
The problem of ink has also been solved. It can be used to print banknotes. It is not a problem to print newspapers. Printing newspapers does not need to be exquisite. For newspapers that have just started, you don¡¯t need pictures or anything, as long as the handwriting is clear. .
If you want to achieve this step, you can easily solve this problem based on the technology of printing banknotes.
Liu Jin also left the paper and printing technology matters to his subordinates, but he began to train editors and journalists of the Ming Dynasty Morning Post.
Daming Morning News, this is the name Liu Jin came up with for his own newspaper. It is similar to the morning newspapers of later generations. It is published in the morning so that everyone can read it every morning.
Of course, in this era, it is definitely impossible to publish every day from the beginning. One issue every three days is enough. When the conditions are mature, it will be released every day slowly.
In addition to the technical problems of running a newspaper, there is also a big problem, which is the problem of news materials.
Since it is a newspaper, it reports all kinds of news materials, ranging from national events, local anecdotes, economy, military and other related content.
But these news materials will not fly into your hands by themselves. This requires professional journalists to go to various places in Ming Dynasty to collect news materials, and the collected news materials need to be reviewed by editors.
Which news materials can be published, which news materials cannot be published, which ones are valuable and which ones are worthless, the editor's review is very important.
Without a large team of journalists, if you run a newspaper, let alone publish it every day, you may not be able to publish it every month, because you don¡¯t know what to print.
This is the biggest difficulty in running a news newspaper in this era.
Because of inconvenient transportation and communication, information transmission is extremely slow. Except for the official eight-hundred-mile express speed, other newsDelivery is very slow and often can only spread within a small range.
Without news materials, newspapers simply cannot be run.
Liu Jin placed the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty Morning News in the capital, and directly spent a lot of money to buy a large courtyard with three entrances as the office location of the Ming Dynasty Morning News.
At this time, in a courtyard at the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty Morning Post, Liu Jin looked at the hundreds of people in the courtyard. These people were the first batch of editors and reporters of the Ming Dynasty Morning Post.
Most of these people were recruited from Liu Jin¡¯s industries. All of them can already read and write, and can also write some things, and have a certain foundation.
There are also some talents that Liu Jin hired at high prices. For example, the five people sitting in the front are Bao Jiwen, Ou Yangguang, Wu Zhang, Liu Zili, and Zhou Zhi. These five people are all talents, but they are also down-and-out talents, and they are all aged. Already in his forties, he has no hope of passing the imperial examination and can only make a living by teaching and writing.
Of course, no matter how down-and-out he is, he is still a scholar and a scholar, and he is very arrogant. Liu Jin also spent a lot of money to recruit him, with a salary of 10 taels of silver a month for each person, plus other benefits. Recruited these five people to serve as editors and editor-in-chief.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??
"These people trained in their own industry can be literate, hyphenated, and arithmetic, but after all, they have not been systematically educated since childhood. Naturally, they are still not as good as the scholars of this era in many aspects.
?? And Xiucai is the most powerful scholar Liu Jin can hire. As for Juren, don¡¯t even think about it. Juren are people who have truly entered the privileged class and will not come to be editors or chief editors.
"Everyone, thank you very much for your trust and support in me, and why you joined the Ming Dynasty Morning Post~"
Liu Jin looked at the hundreds of people in front of him and said with a smile on his face.
For Liu Jin's Daming, everyone is familiar with it for a long time. At this time, everyone looked at Liu Jin and carefully looked at the champion, this high child.
Especially the five talents at the front, Bao Jiwen, Ou Yangguang, and Wu Zhang, are so popular that they are so popular. The five of them are already very old and cannot even pass the examination. But Liu Jin in front of him is so young. He is the champion.
Originally, the five of us didn¡¯t want to be editors or editors-in-chief. They were also scholars after all, and they also wanted to save face. Teaching and educating people would make them all over the world. It was not a shame, and they also enjoyed many good reputations. As for writing and selling words, that was also Forced by life, as a scholar, you can always find some excuses to beautify and beautify yourself.
What are these editors and chief editors?
And what is this Tomorrow Morning Post?
They don¡¯t know it, but the identity of a scholar should still be taken into consideration, and he should not do anything that would undermine his identity.
However, after hearing that they were working under Liu Jin, the No. 1 scholar, and for the sake of 10 silver dollars a month, these five talents were willing to come and work here at Mingming Morning News.
"The Ming Dynasty Morning Post is mainly a newspaper used to publicize national events and report strange things from various places. That's what it is."
Liu Jin showed a newspaper. This was a trial-printed newspaper. It was about the same size as newspapers of later generations. The layout was from top to bottom instead of the most popular right-to-left layout of this era. typesetting.
As Liu Jin spoke, someone also handed out newspapers to everyone, one for each person. Holding the newspapers in their hands, everyone was suddenly filled with doubts.
"Master Zhuangyuan, why are the words on this newspaper not from right to left?"
Bao Jiwen read the newspaper carefully and asked quickly.
¡°Because this is more conducive to printing, and easier to read and typeset.¡±
Liu Jin smiled and replied.
"Then what are these symbols above?"
Ou Yangguang asked, pointing to the commas, periods and the like above.
"I call these punctuation marks. The function of punctuation marks is to distinguish sentences and paragraphs, facilitate reading and convey meaning more accurately."
Liu Jin picked up the chalk and started writing on the blackboard behind him, and began to introduce the functions and usage rules of punctuation marks to everyone.
There are no punctuation marks in books and articles of this era. There are two factors for this. One is that the number of words in ancient books and articles is very small. Articles and other articles are written in classical Chinese. They should be as concise as possible. I can¡¯t wait to use a Words express all meanings.
The other is sentence reading. Everyone learns sentence reading from the beginning, that is, sentence segmentation. The effect is similar to punctuation marks. You can also clearly know where the end is and where the beginning is.
"But if Liu Jin wants to run a newspaper, he will try his best to align with the vernacular in terms of language, because this can be understood by more people and convey more accurate information.
If you use classical Chinese to write a newspaper, a newspaper that may have tens of thousands of words can be written in a few hundred words in classical Chinese, and it can still report on everything.
The key point is that only these scholars can interpret classical Chinese. People with no skills can't interpret it at all. There are too few words, which is not conducive to the accurate dissemination of information, and it can easily cause ambiguity.
