Mixed in Datang to be a son-in-law

"That's a good explanation..."

Zhou Jinyan was about to plagiarize the theory of universal gravitation when he saw Qiurui hurried in.

Chapter 350 Ideas for Civilian Newspapers

"Consort, Princess, Princess Guantao is here."

"Just my sister?" Li Mengjiang asked.

"No, there is Miss Yan."

Li Mengjiang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wei Wang didn't come.

The three of them tidied up briefly and greeted them out.

Not long after, Yan Ruyu and Li Danyue were welcomed in together.

There were only four stone benches beside the stone table. Zhou Jinyan asked someone to bring a chair and sit next to Li Mengjiang.

"Sincerely, you are going to compete with Wang Liancheng in Qujiang Pond this time, are you sure you will win?"

Li Danyue said: "If you are not sure of winning, then cancel it, otherwise father will be very angry when he finds out about it."

"I have a general thought at the moment, as long as I have a little time to prepare, I should be able to beat him."

Yan Ruyu said: "How did you win? This time I can't figure it out no matter what, you will win the game."

Li Danyue nodded slightly, obviously thinking the same way.

Zhou Jinyan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I said that if you can win, you will win. No matter what the sky is round, it is still the same sentence, seeing is not necessarily true, and true knowledge can only be obtained through practice."

Li Danyue said helplessly: "The Wang family hasn't reacted yet. It's still too late for you to regret it. If I come to the door to say something, there will be no problem. But once they react and sign on it, you want to go back on your word, but It's too late, the Wang family will definitely not be easy."

"Thank you, Sister Li, but I still say the same thing about this matter, I will definitely win." Zhou Jinyan was full of confidence.

"Oh, why?" Li Danyue calmed down and asked casually.

"the reason is simple."

Zhou Jinyan said: "The sky is round and the earth is round. The general public knows this concept based on their own observations. If you ask them to prove it, they will definitely not be able to prove it. Moreover, since this is a fact that exists subjectively, not objectively, it cannot Saying it is an established fact will never be overturned."

Li Danyue was at a loss when she heard it, and Yan Ruyu seemed to have figured out something, and asked, "Can you explain briefly? I don't understand."

"This, I haven't thought about it yet."

Zhou Jinyan scratched his head, showing embarrassment.

Li Mengjiang and Gao Yang were both taken aback, they didn't expect Zhou Jinyan to say that.

As Zhou Jinyan's confidant elder sister, Yan Ruyu almost exploded when she heard his words, "You, you dare to bet with him when you are not sure about something? I think you are too confident in yourself? "

Zhou Jinyan avoided her gaze, "I have competed with people so many times, Sister Ruyu, which time do you think I lost?"

"you!"

Yan Ruyu said angrily: "I'm too lazy to care about you. If you lose this time, don't make a sad face for me. I won't comfort you."

Li Danyue's eyes suddenly became very interesting, her eyes swept back and forth on the faces of the two of them, and finally said with a smile: "I have reminded everything that should be reminded. Since you must compete, you must prepare well, otherwise you will lose this time." .”

"Thank you, Sister Li, for your concern."

"I'm not concerned about you, I'm worried that Qujiangchi will fall into the hands of the Wang family."

Li Danyue sighed, "If it really falls into the hands of the Wang family, father will definitely not be happy. This is not good news for you."

Zhou Jinyan was silent.

Of course he knew about it, but it was hard to explain.

Li Danyue said a few more words, and took the initiative to change the subject: "There are still a few days until the official scientific examination. I don't know who the champion is this time."

"Isn't it Huiyuan?" Zhou Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief and said casually.

"Is there a difference?"

Li Danyue said with a light smile: "Since Neng Chunwei got the first place in the examination, it is usually the first place in the imperial examination. It was always like this before."

Zhou Jinyan didn't care about it in his heart. It was the same before, but it doesn't mean it will be the same this year.

All the talents in Chang'an need two kinds of exams.

Juren who failed in the previous general examinations can also take the examination together with the supervising students of the Imperial College.Because the exam is in spring, it is also called spring exam or Chunwei.Chuhuiyuan (No.1), that is, Gongshi.

Those who are selected in the general examination can participate in the palace examination, also known as the imperial examination and court examination. The emperor personally prepares the questions for the examination, and the purpose is to distinguish the grades for those who pass the general examination.

Those who reach the first place are divided into top, middle and bottom three.The first three were awarded Jinshi and the first grade, and Yu was awarded the second and third grades of the Jinshi and the same Jinshi.

Preparations for the Palace Examination begin as soon as the general examination is over.

The so-called No. [-] is what ordinary people call the top three, namely Tan Hua, No. [-], and No. [-].

In the past few years, the general Huiyuan was the champion. After all, the starting point of the Huiyuan will be taken seriously, and it is not surprising to be the champion.

But according to Zhou Jinyan's memory, this situation is very different from the future.There are a large proportion of many members who are not the number one.

After all, the No.1 written test and the No.1 interview are two different things.

"Sister Li, who do you like?"

Zhou Jinyan disagreed in his heart, but he didn't argue with her either.

"I'm from Yanyue Poetry Club, so I'm naturally optimistic about Li Mubai."

Li Danyue glanced at him, and said again: "But it is very rare for him to win the championship this year. There are several people who are on the same level as him. I am afraid that luck will play a big role."

Zhou Jinyan nodded secretly, although Li Mubai did not get along with him, but Li Mubai is indeed an expert at reading.

Both Yan Ruyu and Li Danyue are talented women, one can imagine how amazing they are to be so admired.

Li Danyue came here just to see what Zhou Jinyan was preparing for, and left after hearing no useful news.

Yan Ruyu stayed behind.

"Sister Ruyu, I'm going to start a civilian newspaper, are you interested in cooperating with me?" Without Li Danyue around, Zhou Jinyan no longer has any scruples.

"newspaper?"

Yan Ruyu was stunned: "What is this?"

Seeing her two daughters also looking over, Zhou Jinyan explained: "To put it simply, it is the "Di Bao" and "Jin Zou Yuan Zhao Bao" of the Tang Dynasty, but these are newspapers that report on princes and nobles. I want to create a newspaper that specializes in reporting on private affairs, and of course government reports can also be reported.”

"Your idea is very novel," Yan Ruyu said with a smile, "but what's the use of this thing?"

"Make money." Zhou Jin said in his heart that in this society, starting a newspaper and setting a suitable price will only make him more convenient in the future.

Just like the small advertisements before, it will be published in newspapers in the future.

He had thought about this a long time ago, but he never put it into action.

Then he gave the three people a general idea of ​​his idea, "After starting the newspaper, try it out in Chang'an first. If the sales volume is good, then set up branches in various places. At that time, I'm afraid that the monthly income will make people envious."

"This is a new way of making money," Yan Ruyu nodded, "With our identities, the government won't have too many problems."

"So you agreed?"

Chapter 351 Preparations for the Newspaper Office

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly, and said, "I am the president of Yan Yue Poetry Club, and now you want me to be the president of this newspaper? Don't you want to resign from the position of president of Yan Yue Poetry Club?"

Zhou Jinyan valued Yan Ruyu's reputation. Fame can form a strong influence on the newspaper in the early stage.

"The president of Yan Yue Poetry Club, why don't you just resign."

Zhou Jinyan laughed and suggested, "Come here, you can go down in the annals of history and make a lot of money in the future. You are much more famous than the president of Nao Shizi's poetry club."

"recorded in history?"

Gao Yang became interested, "Brother Zhou, how can it be recorded in the annals of history?"

Zhou Jinyan is quite self-confident: "Before there were only 'Di Bao' and 'Jin Zou Yuan Zhao Bao', this kind of official newspapers, they are considered to be the only ones, and the establishment is not very good. Where there is an official government, there are civilians. , once our newspaper office is established|established, it will be the first for civilian use, this is unprecedented, and it will definitely be recorded in the annals of history."

"It seems to be true." Gao Yang said with interest, "I also want to work in this newspaper."

Zhou Jinyan resisted the urge to vomit blood, "You, an unmarried princess, come to my newspaper office, and I think His Majesty will destroy my newspaper office."

"probably not."

Gao Yang still wanted to continue to quibble, "When the time comes, you will run the public newspaper and I will run the official newspaper. Let's do it more creatively and on a larger scale. If we steal his business from the government, maybe my official newspaper will be an official in the future.丨The mouthpiece of the government, my father still needs me."

Zhou Jinyan nodded secretly, Gao Yang's thinking is still relatively advanced.

"Let's wait until our People's Daily has a larger scale."

Zhou Jinyan said: "Otherwise you tell His Majesty now that he asked people from the government to compete with me, and I can't compare with them."

What he grasped was a typical civilian first-time effect, otherwise the government would come first, and he would have no business.

Or the effect will be much worse.

"I'll have to think about that."

Yan Ruyu was still not sure in the end.

"You can do whatever you want." Zhou Jinyan said with a smile, "I just came up with an idea. I will publish a newspaper by myself recently, and then I will show you, sister Ruyu, how effective it is."

Yan Ruyu didn't seem to care much about the newspaper, and soon talked to him about Qujiangchi.

Zhou Jinyan said a few perfunctory words, and Yan Ruyu hurried back home.

Didn't stay for dinner.

After dinner, Zhou Jinyan started to fiddle with newspapers.

Although Li Mengjiang found the newspaper interesting, he didn't take it seriously.

Therefore, Zhou Jinyan and Gao Yang were the only ones involved in the newspaper business.

Gao Yang was in charge of drawing a model for him and measuring with a ruler.

Zhou Jinyan took a brush to draw the size and typesetting.

Things look simple, but when it comes to typesetting, there are many things to consider.

After drawing for a while, Zhou Jinyan put down the brush and said, "According to the current font size, there are not many words written in each newspaper."

"Do you still need illustrations?" Gao Yang asked.

Zhou Jinyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Returning the illustrations, I can't write many words, there is no content, how about posting the pictures for others to see?"

"You can make the font size smaller." Gao Yang said, "In the early stage, we will focus on a short film and a short story, and add pictures slowly in the later stage."

Zhou Jinyan glanced at him approvingly, "This is not a small story, it's just some news that happens in Chang'an every day."

"What news?"

"To put it simply, it's something that just happened." Zhou Jinyan said: "We all write him down and add it to the newspaper. People in Chang'an can see it."

"What happened, do you want to write now?"

"Of course not. Generally, newspapers are published with news from the previous day."

Gao Yang was thoughtful.

Zhou Jinyan said again: "You help me continue to formulate the layout. Remember that there must be special civil news, official news, special literati and poets, and some miscellaneous news. You can make a board."

"Is it too complicated?"

Gao Yang understood very quickly, "It's better to divide it into several sections, exactly four sections, and then subdivide it under these sections."

Zhou Jinyan's eyes lit up, "Okay, Gao Yang, you can figure it out, you keep thinking about it, help me plan and plan, I'll let someone carve small print models, the handwriting on the book is still too big."

Back in the front yard, Zhou Jinyan called for Ah Qi, who was the only one among the ten who had studied and had a more flexible mind.

"Lang Jun, you are looking for me."

"Yes, let you go and do something for me."
