Chapter 1694 (1/2)
For a penny, you can only buy one steamed stuffed bun in Xiangzhou. Ordinary people may hesitate to buy two steamed buns before buying them.
However, in the afternoon of the virtual Saint Fang Yun's war, the children's test guidance of Dong Wencong, a shepherd in California, only sells one Wen. Even the poor children who spend no more than three Wen a day have no hesitation.
In today's Xiangzhou, what spreads faster than the plague is the news of buying the people's daily.
Not only scholars, but even ordinary people without children at home ran to the nearest literary academy with a penny when they learned that Fang Yun had fought against Qing.
There are many wonderful things everywhere. Beggars don't beg, flower girls in Hualou don't sing, students don't have classes, and everyone is scrambling to buy the people's daily.
Booksellers used to sell books and newspapers, but today, bookstores in literary academies have banned one person from buying more people's daily. Booksellers have to give up selling books and line up honestly, just to buy a people's daily. They don't sell it and keep it for themselves.
Only 100000 copies of the supplement of ”Xiangzhou Di Bao” were printed, which triggered people's contention all over Xiangzhou. However, people's daily started selling in the morning and was still waiting in line until noon.
The printing workshop in Baling city made every effort to print. At first, six people sold the book shop, then 20 people sold it, and finally 50 people began to sell min Bao.
Fortunately, before the sale, the officials had long expected this scene. Since the middle of the night yesterday, the workshops have been printing the people's daily, which can enable all localities to continue selling. But near noon, the goods were still out of stock, so they had to print and sell one batch at a time.
Xiangzhou people, from old to young, from men to women, are all crazy. They have to buy the people's daily. Even many sober people are just going to buy it later, not not not.
Some people don't need to buy it at all. Their children are only two or three years old, but they are encouraged by their neighbors, relatives and friends. What if there is Fang Xusheng's imperial examination guidance in the people's daily? As a result, no one resisted the temptation of Fang Yun's teaching and went straight to the local literary academy.
Some people didn't live in the city. After buying the people's daily, because they couldn't buy more copies and hire a carriage, they ran to the village and led the whole village to the county.
At noon, half day sales were counted. As of 12 noon, more than 32 million copies of the people's daily had been sold in Xiangzhou, and there were only 130 million people in Xiangzhou.
There are few people in some small cities. Local officials thought it would be good to sell 50000 or 60000 copies, but who knows that when the city residents bought almost the same, people in the surrounding villages and towns lined up to kill them.
While min Bao was on sale, Dong Wencong obeyed Fang Yun's order and published the full page content of Min Bao in the discussion list, which triggered a strong discussion among readers all over the world.
Under the articles of Min Bao, the number of half day discussions and replies exceeded 200 million, which has become the most popular article in recent years, because the discussion list can affect the literary list, and according to the setting of the two lists, the four lists of Jinshi list, Hanlin list, bachelor list and great Confucianism list will soon radiate the influence of Min Bao to the human race, and some scholars think that Min Bao is also sold locally, One after another gathered at the gate of the local literary academy. As a result, there was no sale, but the scholars were unwilling to disperse, so they began to discuss the people's daily.
Many people can't see the ”discussion list”, and some people simply put up their pen to copy the contents of Min Bao for other readers to read and copy at the gate of the literary academy.
Therefore, more exaggerated things than ”Luoyang paper expensive” swept the whole Shengyuan continent.
In addition to Xiangzhou, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone near the urban literary academy were sold out by the readers who came one after another. Many readers flocked to the literary academy to copy the contents of Min Bao. Some copied everything, some only related to the imperial examination, and some only copied Fang Yun's war book.
Local officials have repeatedly stopped, and many scholars have resisted. Some parents who want to take the children's test next year even yelled at local officials, leaving them helpless. Finally, local officials had to start to read the contents of Min Bao slowly and let the readers in the city record.
