The first issue of the Zhenguan Newspaper came out very smoothly.
When the newspaper was printed, it was shipped from the Shengtang Group and sent directly to various parts of the Tang Dynasty.
Those responsible for transportation are all from the army.
This was what Li Min requested, and he agreed to print it for free.
So Li Shimin has no reason to refuse to distribute these things, right?
And what he did was his business, not his own.
At the same time, the city of Chang'an was filled with the sound of newspapers being sold, and a newspaper also attracted the attention of people all over the city.
Because the price is extremely cheap, many people bought a newspaper out of curiosity.
When they saw the content, they were immediately attracted.
Some people even suddenly realized that Chang'an had always had such laws to protect the people.
It turns out that the Holy Emperor has been committed to the reform of Datang to make Datang stronger!
There are also some Confucian contents on it that also attract a lot of people.
Coupled with the addition of medicine, agriculture, etc., some doctors and farmers have found a treasure.
From now on, this Zhenguan newspaper can be used as an instruction book. Some people even framed it and read it every day, studying how to treat diseases and how to farm.
The price of one penny for a newspaper made Shengtang Group's reputation even more famous.
The people in Chang'an City were directly worried about whether Li Min's Shengtang Group would suffer a loss, so they simply stopped doing it?
And without such a good newspaper, I am afraid that I will not be able to see such good content in the future.
But their worries are simply unnecessary.
The most distinctive feature of the entire newspaper is the advertisement in the first issue, which is the advertisement and investment promotion of Shengtang Group.
When people saw it, they were all shocked, and some people directly made small calculations.
They know that someone who can be linked to the Shengtang Group must be good.
Looking at such huge circulation, this piece of content must be obtained. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can make a lot of money.
Even the Wang family and Li family were a little jealous.
They also came up with the idea of Zhenguan Bao.
But because Zhenguan Newspaper was printed by Li Min, even if they wanted to advertise, they couldn't pass Li Min's review.
But it failed to stop these people from causing trouble.
Having said that, Zhenguan Daily was short-sold in Chang'an for only one morning.
This forced Li Min to print an additional 200,000 copies, just to have enough.
Within two days, the area within 500 miles of Chang'an was sold short.
Five days later, five million newspapers were in short supply and the gap was huge.
This information was directly fed back to Li Min.
This caught him by surprise.
He also made the decision to add another million copies in the next issue.
If it's still not enough, add another million copies.
The Zhenguan report spread throughout the Tang Dynasty at lightning speed.
Standing on the highest point, spreading knowledge and political opinions.
And because most people in the Tang Dynasty were uneducated and wanted to read newspapers.
You can only let others read it for you.
As a result, a new industry emerged, newspaper readers.
Not to mention, the income is also considerable.
These scholars take it for granted that they make money based on their cultural level.
At the same time, they were also grateful to Li Min. Without him, their income would not have increased at all, but with him, everyone's life was easier, and the entire market was booming.
Another point is that the illiterate people can also get the knowledge they want. In this way, the entire Tang Dynasty started a vigorous viewing craze.
The content of the first issue is perfect and at the same time in Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin was holding the newspaper in his hand, already trembling a little.
Standing next to him were Queen Changsun, Hou Junji and Kong Yingda.
"This guy actually printed a newspaper and sold out five million copies! It's incredible!"
Li Shimin said quite excitedly.
"Your Majesty, what I said is right, he did it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, when making the newspaper, the Sixth Prince also helped the old minister and asked Yan Shigu to join in. He corrected some typos and typos, making the Zhenguan Newspaper more perfect and disseminating more accurately. Without them , I’m afraid I won’t be able to complete the content of Zhenguan Bao quickly!”
"I wholeheartedly agree with this point, but with the one-page advertisement he mentioned, I think he can attract business?"
When Li Shimin read the last page, he had doubts. He felt that Li Min could not attract business.
It's been like this from the beginning.
In fact, not being able to attract business is not a good thing for this newspaper.
It can be said to be a big bad thing.
Because if you can't attract business, you won't have money. Without money, the newspaper won't be able to run.
Li Min is a businessman, it is impossible to generate electricity for love! He needs money.
If possible, he could even step in and help a little.
But Li Shimin's worries were completely unnecessary.
Li Min didn't need his help at all.
"Your Majesty, please stop doing this that harms the country's prestige!"
At this time Hou Junji said, his words made Li Shimin very unhappy.
This newspaper has made a good start, but this guy wants to stop. Isn't that just asking for trouble?
But he still asked patiently: "What do you think, Aiqing?"
"Your Majesty, this newspaper is so formal. How can it put things like advertisements in it? Who can guarantee that the things on it are good? If investment in advertisements is not stopped, this newspaper will bring disgrace to the court."
Hou Junji said righteously.
Li Shimin expressed some embarrassment.
But Kong Yingda said: "If you say that, Hou Junji, who will pay for the newspaper?"
Hou Junji said: "Come from the imperial court!"
"Then do you know how much five million newspapers cost?"
"I don't know!"
"If the Sixth Prince hadn't come forward, the cost of a newspaper would be one hundred cents! One issue would cost half a million taels! Six issues a month, three million taels, or 36 million taels a year. This amount of money , can the imperial court come out?"
Hou Junji was speechless. He may not have thought that the cost of this newspaper was so high.
Kong Yingda hasn’t finished speaking yet
Then he said: "The Sixth Prince only sells a newspaper for a penny. He has to eat, right? He has to subsidize the cost of materials, right? The court has taken advantage, but still scolds people. That's not what we should do!"
Hou Junji did not respond to these words.
But everyone knows that he still refuses to accept it.
Li Shimin was very satisfied with Kong Yingda's performance.
"Okay, that's it for now. I'm afraid that boy can really persist? If he can, that's the best!"
It seems that Li Shimin is going to take advantage of this.
Who knew that in the future, all the initiative would be in Li Min's hands.
Hou Junji said nothing more.
Now, the family is also discussing some countermeasures, hoping to break Li Min's situation.
After all, they believed that the newspaper was produced by the Shengtang Group, and the direction of the news was entirely in Li Min's hands.
If this continues, they will be very miserable.
At this time, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce gathered in the Wang family again.
