The most arrogant in history

Chapter 491 Annual Goal.

Ye Kun smiled and said:

"I read the national edition of the Dahan China News and I think the layout can be enriched. The font can be smaller, the content can be more, and some illustrations can be added. In addition, we can set up a special newspaper distribution bureau and allow subscriptions to newspapers."

Wen Ah Xiu wrote them down one by one and said, "Then I will plan it with Madam Liu Hongyu first and show you the plan in the evening."

Ye Kun winked: "I'll go find you and Liu Hongyu in the evening."

Teacher Wen blushed and turned and ran away.

She suspected it wasn't a good thing to say.

Ye Kun stayed and continued to experiment with the wireless transmitter and the wired loudspeaker.

After some debugging, Ye Kun said:

"A radio transmitter must be able to transmit messages from one place to many places. For example, if we send a message from Zhuo County, Chang'an, Jinling, Luoyang, and Chengdu must be able to receive it at the same time. Messages sent from other places to the court are one-to-one, and as long as the court receives it, it will be fine.

Although it is a radio, it still needs a stable power supply. Therefore, we need to build a generator of the same model. "

He Tiantian nodded and suggested using an animal-powered generator.

Now there are human-powered generators that can be operated by two people and provide stable power to support radio transmission.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, hand-cranked generators were used, and naturally, generators powered by two people's feet would also work.

But in the long run, it is not as stable as animal power.

Find two donkeys and turn them like a mill, and use the gear structure to increase the rotation speed and provide more stable electricity.

Ye Kun thought about it and smiled bitterly:

"Our transmitter must be installed in the palace. If we put a few donkeys there and they bray every day, it would be annoying. So it's better for us to use a pedal-operated generator for the transmitter here."

He Tiantian nodded: "Okay, in about five days, we will assemble the transmitter and loudspeaker."

Ye Kun asked: "Radio transmitter, how far can the signal be transmitted now?"

"Infinitely far. I suspect we can communicate globally. Because the people we left in Xiangyang can accurately receive our signals."

"That's great. We will speed up the manufacturing process. We hope to have radio equipment and signals covering Chang'an, Chengdu, and Jiaozhi within three months."

"It won't take three months, it can be done in one month!"

Pang Jia and Sun Yi were both very confident.

The main thing is that the technology is mature, and the materials and accessories are readily available. It’s just a matter of assembly and debugging, as well as personnel training.

After spending a long time in the Science and Technology City, Ye Kun returned to the Imperial City and went to Wen Axiu to discuss the newspaper matter.

Wen Axiu and Liu Hongyu did not live in the harem because they had to work, but lived in the outer city of the imperial city, in the office area.

The front is for office and the back is for living.

Liu Hongyu is basically responsible for newspaper work.

The pitiful concubine of the landlord who was sold by the government is now one of the ladies in the harem. She is constantly learning and improving, and has been reborn.

Seeing Ye Kun coming, Liu Hongyu stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, have you eaten yet? I'll go cook for you."

"Just ask the cook to make something to eat."

Ye Kun took Liu Hongyu's hand and looked at her: "Hongyu, you have lost weight. Don't work too hard in the future. There are a few literate eunuchs in the palace. I will transfer them to help you."

Wen Axiu smirked, "Look, Hongyu, how much the emperor loves you."

"Little girl, I'm here to pamper you tonight."

Ye Kun touched Wen Axiu's head and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you speak sourly and always bully Hongyu."

"I don't have time to serve the emperor. There are a lot of things waiting for me."

Wen Axiu curled her lips, took out the typeset newspaper draft and showed it to Ye Kun.

Ye Kun looked at the layout, then the content, and quickly read it from beginning to end, and said:

"The font size for future printings needs to be determined. It can be divided into five or six font sizes and adjusted flexibly. The current newspaper only has two pages, which has too little content. We need to increase the pages, add more designers and editors, and enrich the content... Oh, and we can also add some illustrations and maps."

Liu Hongyu said: "We currently have five typesetting staff, 15 printing staff, five editors and writers, and three distributors. If we want to add more content, we will need to hire more professionals."

Teacher Wen said, "It's easy to add a few people, but it costs money, and our budget is limited. It's not easy to ask Wu Qiong for money, he is a stingy person."

Don't underestimate this small newspaper. It costs money to buy paper, ink, workers and distribution.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Go for the commercial route. It's very profitable."

“What is commercialization?”

"First, our newspaper is open to anyone. We just need to set a price to ensure profitability. Second, we can accept advertisements and missing persons notices in the newspaper. As long as you pay, we will help merchants advertise!"

"This is new, you can try it." Wen Axiu and Liu Hongyu both smiled.

In this day and age, advertising in newspapers has never happened before.

Ye Kun said, "How about this, we will advertise ourselves first, with matches, soap, etc. Then we will tell the merchants that if they want to advertise, they can pay for it."

Liu Hongyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please show us how to advertise first."

"Advertising is about introducing the product and telling people where they can buy it."

Ye Kun picked up the quill pen and advertised his own small daily chemical product:

"Xiangyang safety matches light up as soon as they are struck, making life more convenient and brighter. They are sold in Zhuojun Xindu, Dongcheng and Xicheng daily necessities direct stores.

Ye's floral water is effective in repelling mosquitoes and preventing heatstroke. It has been carefully polished over thirteen years and contains the essence of twenty-eight kinds of precious medicinal materials.

Ye's Sulfur Soap, the nemesis of skin itching, protects your and my health..."

Sulfur soap, various soaps, floral water, safety matches, toothbrushes and tooth powder, watermelon frost, fireworks sticks, and small firecrackers are the small businesses that Ye Kun left behind for himself. He arranged for Jiao Nu to be the chairman of the board to be in charge of the business and earn a little money to support his family.

In all major cities, Ye Kun has direct-operated stores selling daily chemical products, both wholesale and retail.

Although the daily chemical business is small, it can still make huge profits under monopoly conditions.

There are seven factories across the country, and they are busy every day.

These small products are very popular in the Western Regions, Tianzhu and Jiaozhi.

Liu Hongyu and Wen Axiu laughed after reading Ye Kun's advertising words:

"The emperor is still good at bragging, saying it's made with great craftsmanship and uses precious medicinal materials. Tsk tsk, even fake pearls can be mixed in!"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "How can I play the flute? If we talk about playing the flute, Teacher Wen and Lady Hongyu are better at it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Axiu and Hongyu rolled their eyes at him.

"Okay, let's continue talking about work."

Ye Kun smiled guiltily, pointed at the title and said:

"Let me change this news: Ye Kun, the Emperor of China and the Han Dynasty, inspected Jiuzhou University in Xindu, Zhuo County on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year. Wen Axiu, the Vice President of the University, and the heads of various departments of the University accompanied him on the inspection and introduced the situation.

Emperor Ye Kun pointed out that education is the foundation of the nation and a long-term plan. Paying attention to education is a good tradition of China for thousands of years. We will persevere, unwaveringly and tenaciously implement universal education and achieve the goal of making all young people literate and able to write within ten years..."

Liu Hongyu asked: "Your Majesty, can it really be completed within ten years?"
