Chapter 122: You can give anything to it, but you can't let it go
The only way to find out what happened is to spend a few pennies on a freshly baked newspaper.
The people in Lingbo Lou finally couldn't help the curiosity in their hearts, and just at this time, there was the sound of a newsboy tearing the bottom on the street, and finally a reader leaned out of the window and shouted: "Get a newspaper." ”
A newspaper quickly fell into the hands of this reader, and the paper of Ming Pao was very large and the amount of information was not small, but due to the skill of paper in this era, it did not allow the text to be printed on both the front and back. However, for this era of basic copying for reading books, it is already very rich.
The newspaper was divided into five sections, the front page was a review, and the articles on the front page immediately attracted the reader's attention.
This article was actually written by Xie Qian Xie Bachelor, and soon, this scholar felt that it was worth the money, after all, a few copper coins can see Bachelor Xie's article, it is really worthwhile, and Master Xie's article is often impossible to ask for.
In addition to those famous families, most of the readers in this era do not have too many collections of books at home, and to obtain knowledge, they all rely on borrowing or copying, and a few pennies have such a rich amount of knowledge, for those who do not go up or down, it is really fatal attraction.
Mr. Xie's article is like a flowing cloud, full of nostalgia for Yu Qian's work, and the deeds of Yu Qian have been artistically processed, which makes people feel excited to read.
And at this time, the scholar finally understood why Yu Gongzi was moving, the first issue of this newspaper was to praise the ancestors of the Yu family, but a guy came to say that this thing was worthless, and said that the content of the newspaper must be nonsense, and the ancestors of the people were insulted, would they be willing to stop with you? Don't beat you to a third-class cripple. This can be regarded as mercy on the part of the Yu family.
"It's no wonder." The reader who suddenly realized that he couldn't help but shake his head, not only reveling in this gorgeous article, but also solving the doubts in his heart.
The rest of the people are not in a hurry to buy it, after all, this Hangzhou is a small circle of literati, and it seems that there is something wrong with offending those celebrities who let out the wind in order to buy a newspaper, even if they buy it, they should buy it in private, but everyone is curious. Always hoping to uncover this mystery, they saw that this scholar looked like he had suddenly realized, and they thought to themselves that the truth was really in this newspaper, so they were even more itchy. I only hope that the man who bought the newspaper will explain it to them.
But who knows that people read Xie Qian's article, and were quickly attracted by the next page, this second page is called Jingyi Shiwen, as the name suggests, it is some wonderful eight-strand texts copied from elsewhere, and there are actually a lot of eight-strand texts circulating on the market, but it is still not easy to get. The reason is also simple, there is no special compilation of eight-strand books in this era, so if you want to get a good article, you must first look for it. After you find it, you can't take it with you, you have to copy it, and toss it back and forth. It's just one article, so some readers may have read the Four Books and Five Classics for more than ten years. However, I am afraid that there will be no more than ten articles in the eight strands of articles I have read, which is the so-called information backwardness.
Now there are still eight strands of text in the newspaper for a few pennies, and I don't know how much effort has been saved, and the people who read the newspaper were suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly read the article word by word, and after carefully recalling it, they thought to themselves: "This newspaper should be well collected, and it will be better to take it out from time to time in the future." ”
The next edition is the poems, most of these poems have been circulated, they are all written by some celebrities in their spare time, and some even go directly to the inn and the wall of the temple to copy it directly, but the poems are at the middle and upper level, and they can still arouse people's interest.
The fourth edition is the story.,This kind of story is more interesting.,And it's often a chapter and a routine.,After reading the first chapter.,It's inevitable that you want to continue to read the second chapter.,After all, there are too few entertainment activities in this era.,Except for drinking and bragging.,It's nothing.,Even if you want to go out and fool around.,It must be a green house.,Good family women usually don't go out and walk around.。
And the story of Zhang Hui, although it has been flooded in later generations, has long been unable to arouse people's interest, but for the current readers who read the newspaper, it is a good thing to entertain themselves in their leisure time.
The last edition is called news, what is news? It is nothing more than a new anecdote in the city of Hangzhou, one of which is that there was a murder case in Renhe County, Renhe County has arrested the real culprit, and finally it was determined that the deceased's wife committed adultery with someone and killed the deceased together with the adulterer. Another story is that a certain embankment on the Qiantang River was in disrepair, and a child fell into the water, but fortunately was rescued.
After reading the whole newspaper, it took half an hour, the person who read the newspaper looked at it comfortably, he raised his head, only to find that many people's eyes fell on him, and the person who read the newspaper did not say anything, but just put the newspaper away carefully like a baby, after all, this newspaper is very collectible, there are not only classic eight-strand articles that can be carefully figured out, but also the macro theory of Mr. Xie.
After receiving the newspaper, he hurriedly paid for the tea and left in a hurry.
The news spread quickly, and most of those who had doubts in their hearts, although they did not dare to buy the newspaper in public, secretly bought it and read it.
And I heard that the Yu family has bought more than 90 copies, after all, the Yu family is a big family, and their ancestors are touted, that is a decent thing, with their identity, they don't need to look at the faces of those celebrities, there are many children in the clan, and the demand is naturally high.
If it's just ordinary people touting it, the real problem is that the people who tout it are different, Xie Qian is the most prestigious figure in Hangzhou City at the moment, and people are willing to use this pen, and the Yu family is naturally and honored.
By the afternoon, 500 copies of the newspaper had been sold out, and many others could not buy them.
Hearing the news, the prince's face finally looked better, and at this time, the content of the newspaper on the second day has also been typeset, and the workshop has to stay up late to start work, fortunately, the engraving is basically complete, movable type printing, only need to rearrange the engraving, although it is not much behind the later generations, and the quality is too bad, but the quantity is still somewhat guaranteed.
Early the next morning, the number of people who bought the newspaper began to increase a little, but after all, it was not the mainstream, and this time, the front-page review published another person, it was the most famous cabinet scholar Xie Qian, but I don't know who wrote this article, and I can't help but praise Xie Qian's life and achievements.
In this way, no one dares to criticize this newspaper as shit, with the experience of Yu Gongzi's beating, this Yuyao Xie family is also a wang family, you dare to say that the newspaper is shit, it is equivalent to slapping the face of the Xie family, there are hundreds of descendants and side branches of the Xie family, plus relatives and friends, any celebrity has to pinch his nose and take a detour.
Today's newspaper has a thousand copies printed, and the sales are very fast, at first everyone still bought it secretly, but gradually they became bolder, and in some places where people gathered to read, they were not afraid of anyone saying anything when they came to read the newspaper in full view.
Speaking of which, there are still too few entertainment activities, those who linger in the teahouse every day to chat or listen to the commentary, have long been tired of this cycle of life, now there is an extra newspaper, which is equivalent to one more thing to kill time, plus the price is not expensive, it can not only help their own studies, but also have many interesting stories and poems, and even the most up-to-date current texts, and even some things in the Di newspaper will be added after simple processing, so that everyone knows what is happening at the moment, and what is happening in the imperial court, what are the strengths and weaknesses of Hangzhou.
And next, it is the most concerned issue of all the families, this newspaper first published an article commemorating Yu Qian, and then Xie Qian, these two people are naturally the most famous people in Hangzhou since the founding of the dynasty, many people are thinking, tomorrow's newspaper, who will be on the list?
There are really a lot of famous families in Hangzhou, and there are more children than dogs, especially those wealthy families are itching, hoping that their ancestors will be on the list.
The word fame and fortune, after all, there are not many people who have escaped, in the past, to show off their family background, at most is to make a memorial arch in front of the door, so that passers-by or visitors know the glorious history of the family, but now it is different, Ming Pao appeared, and the influence has been revealed, which leads to many big families are staring at this newspaper, and even there are many debates about it, some people say that the daily publication must be Ren and Wu family, and some people say that Yuyao, and there is an ancestor of the Zhou family who has made a martyrdom, but I am afraid that the third should be the Zhou family.
It's obviously a very vain thing, but the discussion is getting more and more intense, at first it was just a discussion between some people who read the newspaper, and as the discussion deepened, those who didn't read the newspaper couldn't help but get involved.
This thing is like this, after all, people in this era are not simple individuals, everyone relies on the family, and the honor and disgrace of the family are closely related to everyone.
In the evening of the same day, the eldest young master of the Zhou family actually led people to fight with the children of the Wu family, so that the servants on the side of the prefect's yamen did not dare to take care of it, and in the end they only arrested a few family servants.
The elders of those clans naturally reprimanded the juniors for this rough behavior, but they didn't see any family law, obviously for this kind of thing, they were intentionally conniving, the mouth is a set, the heart is a set, the juniors are competitive, and most of the elders are the same, after all, when it comes to their own father or their own grandfather, they can let everything else, but this can't be allowed.
