"Print?" Li Ling looked at Wan Lang who was excited and frowned slightly, "In just a few days, all the 5,000 newspapers we printed were sold?"

Even if he was as optimistic as him, he could not believe that such a result would occur. Then he saw Wan Lang nodding vigorously, and his face was full of excitement: "It's just that all sold out. In six days, the newspaper was swept away. That day, you told me not to underestimate the purchasing ability of the literate people in the capital. I don't believe it, this time I really believe it."

"But this is too fast... I just gave it to you before, and we delivered it for more than ten days before we finished the newspaper." Li Ling said strangely, "Don't the guys outside have any trouble?"

"I also suspected that the idle men were joining together to deceive us, but later I asked someone to go out and ask for it and I knew what they said was not false. Because your article made many people in the capital feel attentive, so our newspaper suddenly sold out..."

After his explanation, Li Ling understood the first aphrodisiac and shook his head without realizing it: "It's really a matter of unintentional planting willows and willows. It was just an article for emergency response, but the effect was better than the previous article about the courtesan..."

"Yes, but don't be too happy too early. I heard that many scholars think that your article is a fallacy and are thinking about writing articles to refute you."

"Oh?" Li Ling was not only not worried after hearing this, but instead had a light flashed in his eyes and said with interest, "Is this true?"

"It's almost the same, I've heard that several guys threaten to write articles."

"How do they plan to spread their opinions?" Li Ling asked with a smile. Wan Lang was stunned for a moment and quickly understood his intentions: "You... do you want them to put the article in our newspaper?"

"What's wrong?"

"But they are refuting what they say against you..."

"So what? You can't tell me the truth. Since they don't agree with my statement and want to write an article to refute it, I'll help them. Besides, this is also an opportunity for us. We can also take the opportunity to tell others that our Zongheng Monthly newspaper is the place for all scholars. As long as you speak something and make sense, you can come to us to publish articles, and there is also a royalty to get."

At this moment, Li Ling's thinking was completely smooth. It turned out that it was too difficult to support newspaper articles by almost himself. This time, he took this opportunity to open the door. As long as someone is willing to publish articles in Zongheng Monthly newspaper and gets fame and benefits, it will inevitably attract more scholars to publish articles here, and this will form a virtuous cycle. Even if he is busy with official business and cannot write articles later, the newspaper will not worry about not having any source of articles.

After listening to his story, Wan Lang couldn't help but sigh: "I really couldn't imagine that this can make you think of a way. I really want to split your head and see what is inside. Then do as you said, but how can this news be spread?"

"It's very simple. Just print a small piece of paper and send it out with the newspaper. By the way, since the second issue is sold so well, add it. Not only can you add it to the second issue to print another 2,000 copies, but you can also add it to the first issue to print another 1,000 copies. If you can sell it, print another 1,000 more. But this time, you have to buy it for the first issue."

Wan Lang smiled and nodded: "I understand, you are planning to let more people follow your two novels. If they can really attract them, then our newspaper will not be worried about no one buying it for a long time."

"Just know, let's do it as it follows. In the third issue, when others wrote a refutation article, I read it and wrote another article to deal with it. If you argue like this, people who read it would like to come more."

Wan Lang nodded repeatedly, expressing his admiration for Li Ling again. These business guidance techniques were tricks that he could never have imagined before.

...

Lu Mansion backyard, study room.

"Master, this is the new issue of Zongheng Monthly Report." After Lu Yuan saw that his master put down the documents at hand, he submitted a newspaper.

Lu Zhen smiled and took it casually: "You still remember that the two monthly newspapers were separated by too long. I have to forget what I read before." Because the last time I read this newspaper was interesting, he mentioned that the butler would send a copy next time.

Lu Yuan smiled: "Actually, except for those two novels, other content is not related."

"Well." Lu Zhen's eyes quickly swept across several pages of the newspaper and asked casually, "Did they still give it to me this time?"

Lu Yuan shook his head: "As the master guessed before, they will not give it to you this time, but sell it. This newspaper costs ten cents."

"Ten Wen..." Looking at the cheap paper in his hand, Lu Zhen was still a little curious, "I'm afraid I can't make money, right? What did Li Ling think?"

"I really can't make money. The young man asked people about it. According to those who sold newspapers along the street, the money for the newspapers belonged to them, and Zongheng Bookstore did not take any money. Because of this, these talents worked very hard and sold thousands of copies in a few days." Since the owner was interested in this, the confidant naturally had to learn more and think that they would report.

Lu Zhen was even more surprised now, and the folds on his forehead quickly gathered: "There is such a thing? This is how Li Ling does business, is he really losing money?"

"Also, this article has been refuted by many people..." Lu Yuan then told the story about the small popular science article about Thunder and Lightning.

Originally, Lu Zhen hadn't read this article carefully, but now when he heard it, he turned around and carefully scanned it. Then he pondered for a moment before saying, "What is said in this article is not unreasonable. I have seen the scene of lightning hitting the top of the tower of the White Horse Temple outside the city with his own eyes. It is indeed the higher the place, the easier it is to be attacked by lightning. As for the trees that conduct electricity after being exposed to water, they have never heard of it.

"But this is a good thing. If what is said is true, if the thunder comes again in the future, the people will not gather under the trees, causing unnecessary casualties."

"The master is very proud, but some people don't think so anymore. They even said they wanted to write questions and refute them, so the Zongheng Monthly newspaper sold better than what they had before."

"Ha, this is interesting. Li Ling's behavior is really unexpected, and it makes me more interested in him."

"It's not easy for the master to see him? Just pass on the words, and then Li Tanhua will naturally come to visit him happily. Now many officials in the capital are eager to see him."

"Haha, you can only talk..." Lu Zhen smiled at first, but then he looked solemn and waved his hand, "No, I can't meet him privately now. This Li Tanhua is different from others. Although he is not tall and young, there is actually a big man behind him. If anyone yells at this time, he will be in trouble and makes a relationship with him, I'm afraid that the loss will be won in the end."

Lu Yuan listened to the master saying this in a vague way, but couldn't take anything. Lu Zhen said, and did not bother him much about this matter, but gently patted the newspaper: "This monthly newspaper is so interesting, so you can continue to pay attention to me next month. Also, you can also ask someone to pay more attention to it near the bookstore. I really want to know what method he wants to make a profit."

"The villain has written it down." Seeing that the master looked down and looked at the newspaper, Lu Yuan said, asking the master to rest earlier, and then gently left the room.

...

This time, the Zongheng Monthly News really caused a big wave in Luoyang City. If at the beginning, everyone just focused on the thunder and lightning article and thought about how to refute it, then as the newspapers continued to be sold, the more people read it, the more people's attention was attracted to the two novels that were the main featured.

Originally, today, the people of all counties and counties are very popular with good novels, such as talented men and beautiful women, cultivating immortals and asking the Tao, etc., and almost every county has a few popular novels. Then, in Luoyang, a super metropolis with a population of one and a half million, this situation will naturally be even more amazing.

But people will eventually become aesthetically exhausted. If you read too many similar novels, you need to change your taste. Li Ling's two novels are exactly what the people in Luoyang have never seen before. After seeing this, more people are as fascinated as Ye Qing.

What are the battles between ancient immortals and demons, what is Bao Gong’s case-breaking, the novel story development, the exciting plot ups and downs, and with certain logical reasoning ideas, it has completely opened up a new world for all readers, making people unable to stop and just want to read all the contents behind quickly.

However, the content in the newspaper was too small than that of the book, and the damn author was still the most important and most heart-wrenching point. Many people stopped doing it now. By June 19th, many loyal readers even ran to the bookstore in the sun and asked Wan Lang and the others about the content behind the novel.

This was beyond Wan Lang's expectations. Fortunately, he was quite good at doing business. He quickly explained and comforted him, and finally persuaded him to leave. But at the same time, another idea came to his mind. Can he take advantage of this trend and directly print and sell the two novels "The Romance of the Gods" and "The Bao Gong Case" in the capital? Will this completely fill in the previous newspaper's deficit?

But this was Li Ling's book after all, so Wan Lang was naturally not good at making decisions, so in the evening that day, he rushed to see Li Ling and asked the other party what his attitude was.

As a result, he was idle. After asking, he learned that Li Ling was invited by his colleagues from the Ministry of Revenue to have a banquet elsewhere, and he was afraid he would not come back until after entering the update.
