Chapter 367: A Big Tree Attracts the Wind

Xiao Cheng took a deep breath and suppressed his inner thoughts, fearing that Xiao Hong would spy on him. He smiled and said, "Go, all of you, as long as the cubs don't run around, your father will take you to see our three-tailed blue fox tribe."

Si Shuo couldn't help laughing while hugging him, "No need to go all the way, let's stick to the old rules, just bring two or three pups each time."

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister," Xiao Cheng naturally nodded in response.

At this moment, the cubs looked at each other and realized that they were all competitors!

Xiao Cheng continued to say to Si Shuo: "After practicing in this rainy season and cold winter, the orcs in charge of printing have become much more skilled. It only takes two or three days to finalize the content, typeset, typesetting, printing and proofreading of such a newspaper. The speed is mainly determined by the content finalization and typesetting.

We have quite a few employees involved in typesetting, each of them is responsible for a small part, which is only two or three hours of work... They proofread each other twice, and then a special proofreader checks it... to ensure the speed and quality of our newspaper... In the future, as long as the content can keep up, we can print a large amount the next day..."

Now he was speaking professional terms, and Si Shuo nodded repeatedly and gave him a thumbs up, "Xiao Cheng, you have done a great job."

Xiao Cheng straightened his back slightly and said with a smile: "After all, we have learned so many things in the rainy season and the cold season, and the business skills are all here." He pointed to his head, "Sister, I think our newspaper may not sell many crystals in the early stage, and it mainly relies on giving away. Well, each student in the school and the martial arts hall will have a copy, and the restaurant will put it in the private room..."

"Not only in our restaurant's private rooms, but also in the lobby, we have a reading area that provides tea and cakes," Si Shuo said, counting on his fingers, "There are several copies in all the big restaurants in Guangshou City, as well as in the post stations. Let's spread out the newspapers first, and then plan the space for advertising... If the advertisements are carefully made, everyone will read them with relish..."

Xiao Cheng took a pen and recorded them one by one.

"Also, we can publish books. We can start with reference books like pinyin, literacy and dictionaries. Um, books that teach people skills, such as recipes, making clothes, farming and breeding, etc., common sense for survival in the wild, some life tips, etc., and various story books for people to entertain..." Si Shuo can take out ready-made books from the supermarket, which need to be translated into beast language by the cubs. However, the beastmen are too lacking in knowledge. Except for dictionaries, other books do not need to be too thick.

When everyone has a high degree of recognition for the book and the beast literature is popularized and promoted, they can entrust the book to Guangshou City for official printing and get a share of the profits! ~(*`*) From trees to the production of paper, to the application of movable type printing, and finally being able to publish a book. Si Shuo waited for a whole year!

So when Wei Ce came home that night, Si Shuo told him about this matter. "Movable type printing is a good thing for the Beast City. We can't hold everything in our hands, otherwise it will easily lead to jealousy and calculation.

After my father contributes the printing technology to Beast City, we can negotiate the conditions and print newspapers on a large scale, and spread them throughout Guangshou City and even other Beast Cities..."

Wei Ce looked at the stack of newspapers, picked them up and read them word by word, "The first issue of Guangshou City newspapers... Another spring has come... The cultivated land has been expanded this year, let's see if it has benefited you..."

The charm of newspapers and periodicals cannot be eliminated by the times. They are timely, short-term, concise, thematic, eye-catching, etc., which will definitely make the beastmen who lack entertainment fall in love with reading! "This issue of newspapers and periodicals is good," Weize read it from beginning to end. His emotions were aroused by the words and he was still slightly excited. "I'm going to find my father, but what benefits can we get from using movable type printing?"

The family began to discuss the matter, and after they reached a consensus and were satisfied, Wei Ce took the stack of newspapers and the notebook to look for Wei Jin.

Wei Jin looked at the thick stack of newspapers, then at the densely packed, neatly written and clear animalistic writings on them, and he stood there in a daze.

As the chief of the tribe, he knew too well what kind of impact the recording of the beast writing in this way would have on the entire beast world! Then he took a copy with a trembling hand and looked at it. In the beast world, not everyone can read the beast writing. Only some well-established families and tribes, leaders, priests and elders who shoulder important responsibilities, and outstanding beastmen who may inherit their positions in the future can read it. And they don't have a firm grasp of it. At least Wei Jin had to guess when he looked at this newspaper.

"My sister Shuo said that we will hire some reliable flying beasts as reporters in the future to collect important events in the city and print them out so that everyone can know about them... There will also be some educational stories, local customs, and riddles on them for publicity..." Wei Ce pointed at the newspaper with a little pride and introduced it to Wei Jin, "Anyway, as long as everyone can read, they can definitely make reading newspapers a habit!"

His few words had already made Wei Jin's mind refreshed. "Well, well, well, you are indeed a young man with a good brain, and more promising than your father."

Wei Ze smiled and changed the subject, suggesting that he be the representative to hand over the movable type printing technology to the City Lord's Mansion.

Without him saying anything more, Wei Jin thought of the interests involved and nodded in agreement:

"A tall tree attracts the wind. If you control the movable type printing technology, you can certainly make a lot of money, but there are many people who are jealous, and sooner or later something bad will happen. The clan cannot protect you in every aspect all the time.

Handing over this piece, while it may seem that the benefits are being divided, isn't this also a way to divert everyone's attention and also to find a protective umbrella for oneself?"

"So I'll have to trouble my father to take us on this trip," Wei Jin said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, Madam Mu Qiong's birthday party will be held in two days. By then, all the orcs who have a say in Guangshou City will be there..."

Madam Mu Qiong is a famous witch doctor in Guangshou City, and is highly respected by everyone. Many of her beast husbands are leaders or elders in their respective tribes, and their children are talented and are the best among their peers. Today is her 60th birthday, and her beast husband and the children have agreed to hold a lively party for her.

And also to find excellent partners for her grandchildren.

Wei Jin nodded, "Okay, I'll tell your second master. Madam Mu Qiong is your second grandmother. It's just right for you to prepare a big gift for her!"

Weitzer agreed with a smile.

Regarding Mrs. Mu Qiong’s birthday gift, everyone in the family has their own ideas, or to be more precise, the kids!

"Since it's a birthday gift, I think we should give a birthday greeting that can be hung on the wall..."

"How about giving me a recipe? This gift is really..."

"Give me a comic book. This can be printed in batches, and it's very interesting with pictures. There are also animal texts with pinyin below, which can be used for promotion in many ways..."
