Chapter 367 Cao Cao wants to steal the teacher

Three days later, with the anticipation of the Han people, the second issue of the Liaodong Daily was finally released! As a result, it can be imagined that the 30,000 newspapers under the rule of Liaodong were not enough. As soon as they were published, they were directly snatched away by the people. In an emergency, Zhao Feng quickly ordered people to print another 20,000 copies, but they were still snatched away. After that, nearly 30,000 copies were printed one after another, a total of 80,000 copies were barely satisfying the appetite of the people under the rule of Zhao Feng!

The layout of the previous issue is still in the same layout mode. Except for the first page, every other page is very popular! Especially the call for papers set up by Zhao Feng, it is extremely popular. It took the newspaper half a day to just screen and submit it!

As for the current affairs part of the third edition, it is reporting the war between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao. Dong Zhuo sent 100,000 troops and left Bingzhou. Bingzhou was in danger. Yuan Shao ordered five generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan and Han Meng to go out together to lead a 150,000 army to Bingzhou to meet the enemy! Which of the two sides wins and who will lose? The Liaodong Daily left a suspense here! Of course, this cannot be blamed on the newspaper, because the two have not started fighting yet, but they are stalemate at the junction of Sili and Bingzhou - Pingyang City!

Of course, at the end of the second issue, the newspaper made a statement that because the operation of the newspaper also requires funds, the newspaper will start charging from the fourth issue, but the price is not expensive, and each newspaper only costs two cents. As for other areas, it is because the shipping fee is also required, and the price is set at five cents per copy!

As soon as this price was released, Cao Cao was shocked. The first issue of Yanzhou News imitated the Liaodong Daily, so he adopted the eight-page model. However, the manpower and material resources required for the eight-page layout were too huge. As a last resort, the second issue of Yanzhou News was reduced to the four-page model by Cao Cao! In this way, the cost was reduced by half, but Cao Cao roughly estimated that a newspaper-sized "the world's number one paper" would cost 30 yuan. With the manpower, it would cost 50 yuan per piece. If it was an eight-page model, it would cost 100 yuan!

Even Zhao Feng, Cao Cao probably would have to spend at least sixty yuan. If the labor cost is not included, it would have to cost forty yuan per newspaper. Moreover, Zhao Feng's labor cost should be quite huge, because how much manpower does these tens of thousands of newspapers require?

However, what I never expected was that Zhao Feng only sold for two cents, and even the five cents in other regions were far lower than Cao Cao's estimate!

"How is this possible? How is it possible?" After hearing the message, Cao Cao sat in the prefect's mansion and muttered to himself.

"Lord, look at these two newspapers, it looks exactly the same!" Xun You told Cao Cao about his discovery.

It was a coincidence that Xun You visited several newsstands and wanted to see how popular the Liaodong Daily was. Unintentionally, he found that the Liaodong Daily among these two newsstands seemed to be exactly the same in terms of layout and fonts of each piece! In order to confirm his idea, Xun You specially got two first issue of Liaodong Daily and two second issue of Liaodong Daily. After comparing them one by one, Xun You confirmed his guess. Sure enough, each newspaper was exactly the same!

This made Xun You feel strange. How could this be? Logically speaking, even if the same person handwritten two copies of the text, even if he deliberately imitated it, there would be some differences. It seems that even a slight difference could not be found. Xun You couldn't help but doubt it. Could it be that Zhao Feng had any way to deliberately re-create so many newspapers?

"Huh?" Cao Cao took two newspapers and compared them carefully.

The more you compare, the more shocked Cao Cao was. It was really the same as Xun You said! The two newspapers were exactly the same, without a trace of difference!

"How could this happen? How did this happen?" Cao Cao looked completely unbelievable!

"Lord, You think that there must be some secrets in Liaodong that we don't know, allowing them to create such two newspapers that are exactly the same!" Xun You expressed his opinion.

"In your opinion, what is this method?" Cao Cao hoped that Xun You could come up with the answer he wanted.

However, the result disappointed Cao Cao. Xun You shook his head, "You really can't think of this! I hope your lord forgives you!"

"Oh, forget it, it's normal not to think of it. If anyone can think of it, then everyone will be Zhao Feng!" Cao Cao smiled bitterly. Zhao Feng's idea is always new and strange, but it seems reasonable. He can create novel things every time, just like the new silk weaving machine introduced in the first phase of the technology section, and the keel water wheel introduced in the second phase of the year are all things that Cao Cao has never heard of and seen, but the effect is so good. Even if you use a new silk weaving machine, you may not be able to compare it with ten old silk weaving machines!

"Lord, You wonder, can we send people to Liaodong? Didn't Zhao Feng want to recruit craftsmen to apply for apprentices, or open a recruitment hall? We sent people to be apprentices and steal teachers. After a few months, we can turn some of Zhao Feng's skills into our own skills in Yanzhou!" Xun You said.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up. This method seemed very feasible. If Zhao Feng wanted to recruit apprentices, then Cao Cao was full of people. He sent one or two loyal people to study for a few months before coming back. Wouldn't he be able to steal all Zhao Feng's skills to Yanzhou? Cao Cao couldn't help but feel active. If this is true, then the prosperity and strength of Yanzhou are just around the corner!

"You will arrange this!" Cao Cao said in his heart for a while, and then he immediately spoke.

"Yes!" Xun You nodded.

"Remember, Zhao Feng is quite smart, you must send someone smart! Don't let Zhao Feng be aware of this!" Cao Cao thought for a while and spoke.

"I understand!" Xun You still understands this principle. This sect must be particular. In his opinion, it is good to send someone to steal the master at this moment. After all, Zhao Feng has not noticed it yet. Once Zhao Feng noticed it, it would be too late!

"Lord, what about Yanzhou Newspaper?" Xun You asked.
