Chapter 21
The scholar's face showed excitement, and he ran away dancing.

He shouted: "Today, my little brother has articles from sages and sages that I need to read, so I'm going home now, and I won't hang out with you brothers."

In the shadow of the corner of the street, Li Chengqian watched this scene, his face twitched unconsciously, such an exaggerated acting skill.

But the more exaggerated, the better the effect.

At this moment, he had already seen the expressions on the faces of many onlookers.

Perhaps there is only one burst missing, and the deadlock in the sales of new newspapers can be broken.

At this moment, the scholar's companions looked at each other in blank dismay, and someone asked in silence, "How about we also buy a copy?"

"I think so."

"Agree."

After a brief discussion, they all said loudly: "Give us a newspaper too!"

The woman's smiling eyes narrowed, and she said hastily: "Okay, five cents a piece, young master take it."

Several people paid the money, and after receiving the newspaper, they behaved almost the same as the person who ran away before. They were calm at first, then excited, until they danced.

They all ran away with their newspapers.

Seeing this scene, the passers-by who were paying attention here couldn't help feeling a little curious.

Does this new paper really have such amazing magic power?
Thinking back to the few words that the scholar read out at the beginning, thinking about it now, it still makes people feel ups and downs and shakes their hearts.

Even though many of them haven't read any books, they can still hear a majestic, rising spirit.

Five cents, it seems that you can give it a try.

Finally, when the first person tentatively stepped forward to buy a new newspaper, more and more people rushed forward.

However, this is only a temporary arouse of their emotions. When they calm down, they may not be able to maintain such a fiery atmosphere.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a brown robe squeezed into the crowd, holding a simple trumpet folded from cardboard and shouting loudly: "Hi everyone, I am the manager of the newspaper office. To celebrate the release of the new newspaper, Customers who buy the first newspaper can enjoy a [-]% discount when the second newspaper is on sale.

In addition, there are three special symbols at the end of each new newspaper. On the second day after the first issue of the new newspaper is released, a lottery will be held to draw three special symbols in a fixed order.

As long as the three special symbols at the end of the new newspaper are consistent with the result of the lottery, the buyer can use this new newspaper to go to the Fuyao newspaper office at No. 27 Luohe Street to exchange for the ultimate prize of one tael of silver. "

After the words fell, the atmosphere present became warmer at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Leaving aside the [-]% discount, five cents of money will give you one or two taels of silver.

In case of winning, wouldn't it be a windfall?
In fact, people are more or less gambling.

Just thinking of getting one tael of silver for five cents is unbearable.

What's more, many people are already quite curious about the new newspaper in their hearts. If the five cents are spent, there will be another chance to make money. Wouldn't it be lucrative.

Thinking of this, the desire to buy in my heart began to grow wildly.

Some people were even cruel, and after learning the detailed rules, they directly bought a dozen or twenty copies of the new newspaper.

With such word of mouth, the sales of Xinbao instantly exploded.

And such a scene happened in the bustling streets all over Kyoto.

A steady stream of new newspapers were sold, and a large amount of copper coins were pocketed.

But in less than an hour, the [-] new newspapers in the entire capital were sold out.

There are even many people rushing to buy.

However, Li Chengqian did not choose to reprint, and [-] copies of the new newspaper were enough to spread the influence to the entire capital.

And if some people can't buy it, it will make the next issue of the new newspaper sell better.

The so-called, what you can't get is the best.

When something becomes a trend, it doesn't matter what the news is specifically, what matters is whether you have it or not.

Once the results of the lottery are announced, it only needs a little publicity, and the popularity of the new newspaper will definitely remain high for a long time.

Of course, these measures are only temporary, and the content is the most important thing if the new newspaper is to be run for a long time.

After all he was selling newspapers not lottery tickets and marketing.

After the new newspaper was sold out, Li Chengqian brought Izumo back to the East Palace contentedly. At this moment, he could guess that some people's expressions would be very exciting.

As the sky darkened, seeing that there were indeed no new newspapers to buy, the crowds in the streets and alleys gradually dispersed.

And what happened today quickly spread to the mansions of various dignitaries in the capital, including the imperial palace and the Overwatch Council.

In the palace, Emperor Qing looked a little embarrassed, and the slap came so fast that he really didn't expect it.

After all, he really didn't trust his son a little bit.

Especially when he saw the young man Qingguo's story, even he couldn't help but be shocked by the passion and upward spirit in it.

As soon as this article came out, the entire youth of the Qing Dynasty would probably have a heart of patriotism.

Those with a little more blood, I am afraid that they all have the consciousness to dedicate their lives to wrapping the corpse in horse leather for the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, the only thing that made him a little suspicious was that Li Chengqian, who wrote this article, might also be deified in the hearts of countless scholars of Qing Dynasty, especially young people.

However, because of this article, the title of Qing Kingdom's cultural desert may be removed.

He believed that even the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was famous for its writing, no one could write such majestic and passionate writing.

Feeling relieved and complicated, he sighed, then looked at Eunuch Yao at the side and said, "Pass down the order and set this article as a must-read article for schools everywhere."

Eunuch Yao's expression moved slightly. With such an order, the crown prince would probably become the leader of the Qing Dynasty's culture and Taoism, and no one would be able to easily shake his position.

It seems that he also needs to think about how to get along with the prince in the future.

He thought about this, but said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

……

In the Overwatch Council, Chen Pingping smiled and put aside the information in her hands, and said, "Our Prince is really good at it."

On the side, the shadow stood quietly in the darkness without speaking.

Chen Pingping didn't think about him answering, but just said to herself: "Caomiao Village, Qingyunmen, hehe, it's interesting. I don't know when the second issue of the new newspaper will be published. It's rare, and I actually feel a little impatient."

As the candlelight dimmed, Chen Pingping's smile gradually disappeared in the darkness.

And the influence of Xinbao has only just begun to ferment.

A young Qingguo said that it caused an uproar no matter among the dignitaries or among the scholars.

On the same day, Lin Gong took a carriage of gifts to the East Palace to visit.

After receiving the notification from the attendant, Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, then said: "Tell him, the palace will accept the gift, and the person will disappear, and I will go to the Fuyao Newspaper Office tomorrow morning."

After all, he ignored the matter, because the light curtain in front of him moved again.

 Please recommend, ask for follow-up, and update regularly every day. Thank you very much for your support!
