The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1694 Holy Yuan Zhigui

One penny can only buy one vegetable bun in Xiangzhou. Ordinary people may hesitate before buying two steamed buns instead.

However, Xu Sheng Fang Yun's War Letter to California Pastor Dong Wencong's child test guidance only sells for one penny, and even the children from poor families who spend no more than three pennies on food per day do not hesitate.

In Xiangzhou today, what spreads faster than the plague is the news of purchasing the "Min Bao".

Not only scholars, but also ordinary people without children at home, when they learned that Fang Yun had declared a war against the Qing Kingdom, they also ran to the nearest liberal arts college with a penny in hand.

Many strange things happened in various places. Beggars stopped begging, flower girls in flower houses stopped singing and singing, students stopped attending classes, and everyone rushed to buy the "Minbao".

Booksellers originally sold books and newspapers, but today, liberal arts bookstores in various places have banned one person from buying more than one copy of "Minbao". Booksellers have no choice but to give up selling books and queue up just to buy a copy of "Minbao" 》, not for sale, keep it for yourself.

The supplement of "Xiangzhou Di Bao" only printed 100,000 copies, causing people from all over Xiangzhou to compete for it. However, "Min Bao" went on sale from the morning until noon, and there were still people queuing up.

The printing workshop in Baling City went all out to print. At first, six people were selling the bookstore, then twenty people were selling it, and finally fifty people started selling "Min Bao".

Fortunately, the officials had anticipated this kind of situation before the sale started. Starting from midnight yesterday, various workshops had been printing "Min Bao", which allowed continuous sales in various places. However, near noon, the stock was still out of stock, and I had to print one. Sell ​​in batches.

People in Xiangzhou, from old to young, from men to women, are all like crazy. They must buy the "Min Bao". Even many sane people are just prepared to buy it later, rather than not buying it at all.

Some families have no need to buy them at all. Their children are only two or three years old, but they are encouraged by neighbors, relatives and friends, saying what if there is Fang Xusheng's imperial examination guidance in the "Min Bao"? As a result, no one resisted the temptation of Fang Yun's teaching and went straight to the local liberal arts college.

Some people did not live in the city. After buying the "Minbao", because they could not buy more copies and could not hire a carriage, they ran to the village and then led the whole village to the county.

At noon, the half-day sales volume was calculated. As of 12 noon, a total of more than 32 million copies of "Min Bao" had been sold in Xiangzhou. The entire Xiangzhou only had more than 130 million people.

Some small cities have few people, and local officials thought that selling fifty or sixty thousand copies would be good. But who knew that when the residents of the city could buy about the same, people from surrounding villages and towns lined up to kill them.

When "Min Bao" went on sale, Dong Wencong followed Fang Yun's order and published the full content of "Min Bao" on the forum, triggering strong discussions among scholars all over the world.

Under the "Min Bao" article, the number of half-day discussion replies exceeded 200 million, making it 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, it will lead to the Jinshi list, Hanlin list, and university list. The top four rankings in the Scholars List and the Confucian List were all from the article "The Human Race's first private newspaper "Minbao" was officially published" published by Dong Wencong.

Scholars from all over the human race discussed "Min Bao" too enthusiastically. In the end, many people had to re-post articles specifically discussing one issue. Some discussed Fang Yun's war letter, some discussed the Song font used in printing, and some discussed "Min Bao" Sales volume, some discussed Dong Wencong’s article on guidance for children’s test...

Soon, the influence of "Min Bao" radiated to the human race. Some scholars thought that "Min Bao" was also sold locally, and gathered at the entrance of the local liberal arts academy. It turned out that there was no sale, but the scholars did not want to disperse, so they began to discuss "Min Bao" People's Daily.

Many people could not see the "Lunban", and some officials simply copied the contents of the "Minbao" and left it at the entrance of the Academy for other scholars to read and copy.

As a result, something even more exaggerated than the "Luoyang Paper Expensive" incident swept the entire Shengyuan Continent.

Except for Xiangzhou, the pens, inks, paper and inkstones near the city's liberal arts colleges were sold out by the scholars who came one after another. Many scholars flocked to the liberal arts colleges to copy the contents of the "Min Bao". Some copied everything, and some only copied the contents of the imperial examination. Some people only copied Fang Yun's war letter.

Officials from various places have repeatedly tried to stop it, but many scholars have resisted. Some parents who are going to take the pupil examination next year even cursed at local officials, leaving those officials helpless. In the end, local officials had no choice but to start speaking out, slowly reading the contents of the "Min Bao" and letting the readers in the city record it.

In more than 30% of the cities of the human race, officials were reciting the "Minbao" with spring thunder in their tongues, forcing historians and scholars from all over the world to write down this unprecedented scene.

Lu Huaijiang, the "Master of History" and the first of the four great talents of the previous generation who was recently promoted to Confucianism, said something on the discussion list.

"Fang Xusheng once again opened a door of the times, connecting to a new world."

Most scholars only regarded it as an ordinary compliment, but a very few scholars saw the clue: Lu Huaijiang obviously meant that "Minbao" was broadening the human race's holy path, and might even create a new holy path, thus giving birth to a new semi-saint. .

Since the Holy Yuan only set up Xiangzhou as the pilot area for the "Min Bao", this unique newspaper could not be purchased in other places in the Holy Yuan Continent.

The official seals of Xiangzhou officials and scholars are filled with letters from all over the human race. Scholars from all over the country have asked Xiangzhou scholars to help them buy a copy of the first issue of "Minbao" as a souvenir. Even people who have never met can find it in a roundabout way. Some people even brought up the friendship that their grandparents had met once.

Before noon, the government office in Kongcheng was blocked by thousands of scholars.

Unlike other places, Kongcheng is extremely open. Almost every household is a scholar. The scholars in Kongcheng are also very active and regard themselves as the center of the human race.

When Fang Yun made reforms in Ning'an County, many people in Kongcheng found it very good. Therefore, Kongcheng soon became the second city where vehicles and horses must drive in the prescribed direction, the second city with crosswalks, and the second city to increase the rewards for workers...

Now, thousands of scholars gathered at the gate of Kongcheng government office and protested continuously.

"We want the "Minbao"!"

"Kongcheng has no "Minbao", how can the descendants of Confucius talk about serving the people?"

"Kongcheng has no "Minbao", there is no people!"

"If Kongcheng has no "Minbao", we will go to the gate of the Confucius Mansion to sit quietly!"

"Don't use the Holy Court as an excuse. If the officials of Kongcheng are united and ask the Holy Court to lift the ban, how can the Holy Court not agree?"

The prefect of Kongcheng was overwhelmed and had to come out in person to appease the scholars, and then took people to the Kong family to ask the Kong family about their intentions.

The on-duty Kong family elders held a meeting and disagreements arose.

Some people think that since the "Min Bao" was created by Fang Yunxian, it is harmless to popularize it in Kongcheng, but some people think that if the "Min Bao" is published in Kongcheng, it must be censored by Kongcheng. Some people think that the "Min Bao" has great potential and is a weapon to control the minds of the human race. It must be controlled by the Kong family. Otherwise, once someone slanders the Kong family through similar newspapers, even if the Kong family has made few mistakes and made great contributions, they will be discredited by the newspapers, causing those who do not know how to think to mistakenly believe that the Kong family is useless and even harms the country and the people.
