Chapter 111: Letters from Readers
"You put a ridiculous lie on me, you want to leave?" With red eyes, Yuan Shusheng said angrily: "Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!" Say it clearly before you leave! β
Xiao Jing smiled coldly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ In his opinion, this is just a scene, like the phrase "you wait for me" that the losing side of a street fight often drops.
If a virtuous scholar utters this, it will surely arouse awe. In the long history, there are countless people who are truly righteous and righteous, and it is these sages who have left a rich spiritual legacy to future generations, especially the principles of life.
It's a pity that the rest of the scholars are either muddy and drifting with the flow, or they are simply incorruptible and shameless, servile and servile.
The three people in front of them are at most in between, what else can they do besides shouting to vent their anger?
Xiao Jing walked disdainfully towards the big car he was riding. Sure enough, those people didn't do much other than bark in the back.
Don't you even have the courage to stop me? What else is there to say about "making things clear"?
Seeing that he was about to walk to the front of the car, someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Let's go, let him go!" If they don't go back and publish the useless newspapers, how can they incite people's minds and make a fortune! β
Xiao Jing stopped.
He single-handedly established the newspaper. The Mirror not only carries his journalistic ideals, but also acts like his child. He can ignore anything else, but if someone talks about the newspaper, it will be a blow to his scales, and he can't give up.
Originally, Xiao Jing also wanted to save face for these people, thinking that at least not to peel off their "bottoms", so that they would be embarrassed to the point of no return. However, since some people have to bring shame on themselves...... Then, don't blame me for being ruthless!
He turned around and walked slowly back in front of the three scholars. After his cold gaze swept around the three of them, he suddenly smiled, and his smile was so bright, as if what he had just heard was not a slanderous word, but a heartfelt compliment.
"You say, newspapers are useless." Xiao Jing asked calmly: "This is the most unfunny joke Xiao has ever heard in his life." Excuse me, why is the mirror newspaper useless? Can you give me some pointers? β
Hao Shusheng sneered: "Do you need to talk about this? What did the Mirror do for the Great Rui Dynasty, was it due to the society or to educate the people? None of them! What is written in the newspaper is nothing more than some smoky miasma, or pickled words that let people who are indulgent and hard-working feast and poison. It is a shame for Sven to use the beautiful words created by your ancestors to write such nonsense.
And the advertisements, what do the newspapers say about "promoting business development", is it not that the newspaper is colluding with businessmen for personal gain? Hehe, what is the use of such a lowly and filthy mirror newspaper? If you talk about flies and dogs, I'm afraid that no one is better than you! β
Xiao Jing shook his head. Sure enough, it's a clichΓ© again! Saying this, you are not tired, I am tired!
He smiled noncommittally and said, "Speak highly, Xiao has been taught." It's just that whether the mirror newspaper is useful or not, you and I don't count. As for who has the final say......"
Xiao Jing took out a letter from his arms and said angrily: "Of course, the people of the world have the final say!" β
With that, he took out the letter paper and handed it to Hao Shusheng, leaving the envelope in his hand.
"What is this?" Yuan Shusheng glanced at it casually and sneered: "Can this also be called a word?" Not only are they crooked, but there are also a bunch of other words! Oh, how vulgar is the person who wrote this letter? Is it a child? β
Xiao Jing was not in a hurry or annoyed, but said with a smile: "The foot is really smart." Yes, this letter was written to a newspaper by an eight-year-old child. β
Yuan Shusheng's face changed. He snorted and said sarcastically, "Can you read a newspaper at the age of eight?" At first glance, I thought it was an eight-year-old prodigy who wrote poems, but when I saw this word, I knew that it was just a country naughty boy. β
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the letter.
ββ¦β¦ I'm eight years old, and I love newspapers! At the beginning, my father read it to me. It's a pity that my father read few books when he was a child, and he didn't know some words, so when he encountered a word he didn't understand, he could only guess what it was.
When I was born, my father was still looking forward to my civil and military skills. However, a few years ago, the family didn't have much money, and as soon as he and his mother put it together, they didn't let me study. Dad said that if you plant these acres of land, you can live a life in a down-to-earth manner, and it makes no difference whether you read or not.
Later, the mirror newspaper came out. Dad didn't care at first, but when he heard that someone in the neighboring town was making money from what was on the useful information page, he bought a newspaper as well. After that, he liked to be in the mirror newspaper, and every issue did not fall. With the newspaper, the family also earned more money, not only repaired the house, but also bought me new clothes.
Dad thought about it and told me, if you can't read, you are blind, and you will suffer a big loss, so let's hire a gentleman for you! Then, I followed my husband and started reading. When my husband was away, I was still reading in front of the newspaper alone.
Last month, the Mirror newspaper said that it was soliciting letters from readers, and I wrote this letter, and I don't know if President Xiao can see it. For the sake of my father and mother, in order to be able to read the newspaper, I will definitely study hard......"
The words and wording in the letter are very simple. However, it can be seen that the child wrote this letter very seriously.
In the past, the Mirror newspaper has held a campaign to solicit letters from readers. At this time, there were no private postal institutions such as the "Minxin Bureau", so the newspaper asked enthusiastic readers to send their letters directly to the nearest mirror newspaper sales office for storage. In every town, there are branches of some merchants, and some of them are shops that have a cooperative relationship with the mirror newspaper and also function as a newsstand.
On the way from Puhua Town, Xiao Jing had to stop and delay for a while every time he passed a place, and soon after he ran all the way to catch up with the team, making everyone a little confused.
It turns out that he went to collect letters everywhere.
The requirements for the solicitation also said that it is not necessary to write the full name and place name on the stationery, just write it on the envelope, even if you want to be anonymous.
When designing this event, Xiao Jing kept an eye on it: if he used these letters to tear up with people in the future, or open a "newspaper X anniversary exhibition" or something, he couldn't let people see the names of readers, so as not to make them run to find trouble.
So, just now he deliberately left an envelope.
Looking at the three people with angry faces, Xiao Jing cleared his throat and said, "Do you still dislike his poor handwriting and very superficial articles?" This child has only been studying for half a year, and it is not easy to have his current achievements. Now that you have hired a gentleman, you must read some books; Even if the husband is gone, he will be able to read and write in the future. He was so fond of writing that he would naturally be interested in the books of the sages that were available everywhere in the future.
Excuse me, is this the credit of the Mirror? The style of the newspaper is different from the beautiful articles written by you, but the two articles can coexist. Xiao really doesn't understand, why do some people want to oppose newspapers and classics, isn't it because they are full? β
Three scholars, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces are a little embarrassed. But how could they just throw in the towel?
Geng Shusheng laughed and said, "Since you have always carried this letter with you, who knows if it was forged?" What do you say about 'soliciting letters from readers', just such a broken newspaper, how many people will write letters? Even if there is, it will be a righteous and stubborn person who refutes you! β
Xiao Jing's face sank again. Suppressing his anger, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "This letter was just read by Xiao casually. Before I finished reading it, the car arrived at Mao'an Town, and I put it on my body. Since you don't believe me......"
He waved his hand at Shao Ning and walked towards his big car. After a while, the two of them brought two small wooden boxes. Carefully opening the lid, the contents startled the scholars.
All faith?
Xiao Jing casually took out a letter from each of the two boxes, took out the letter paper and handed it to the two people who didn't have anything in their hands.
ββ¦β¦ Shi has read some books, but he has not been admitted to any fame. After doing some business, I also lost all my capital. Seeing that he is nearly forty years old, but he still has no fame, in the early years, the neighbors still valued the Shi family very much, but now they don't care about the Shi family.
The month before, a merchant asked for a partnership with a contemptible person. The business he did had suffered a lot of losses before, and he naturally knew some tricks, but the merchant was ignorant and seemed to have not been in the industry for a long time. After going back and forth, Shi Mou moved evil thoughts, wanting to use some means to covet his money.
However, the night before he started, Shi read the Mirror newspaper. One of the cases published on the legal version is that someone deceived the silver taels, causing a merchant to die. Such hurtful things are unbearable to see. And the newspaper comments are also deafening, like a stick in the head, and like a sharp knife piercing the conscience of the despicable. In addition to being embarrassed, Shi Mou no longer dared to be evil, and he also regained his good thoughts, which is all the work of the mirror......"
ββ¦β¦ When Xianyan was seriously ill, his family searched for good doctors, but there was still nothing they could do. First of all, Yan Ku loved opera, and when he read the mirror newspaper by chance, he said that he wanted to see if the drama written on it was really that good. So, the contemptible people carried him to the theater to watch a play. After the end of the song, he was very satisfied with the play, and Lianzan Mirror recommended a good team.
Since then, every time the mirror newspaper recommends a play, Yan must go to see it until he goes west. The mirror newspaper helped Wu to fulfill his filial piety, and also added countless joys to his loving father, and the contemptible people were extremely grateful for it......"
Cold sweat broke out on the three scholars' bodies.
The two letters that were drawn out were all examples of positive energy, which at least proved that readers' perceptions of the Mirror were not as bad as they had made up their minds.
Xiao Jing narrowed his eyes.
He walked around the three of them before he said softly, "Finished?" β
Without waiting for them to answer, Xiao Jing suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Then, please give Xiao a certain explanation!" β
