System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Yan Shou followed Niu Da to a large wooden board in front of the large warehouse, with the purchase prices of various materials posted on it.

“The price list changes every day, and the prices fluctuate slightly,” Niu Da said.

Yan Shou looked at the price list carefully. There were many types of purchased materials listed above, but none of them were luxurious. Instead, there were many needs for ironware, food and the like.

"The price is fair. Although it is not comparable to the market price, it leaves enough profit for the merchants. It's just that you Bashu is rich in grain, so why do you still need to purchase grain?" Yan Shou frowned, and the purchase price of grain was slightly lower than the market price.

How could anyone be so thoughtful as to sell grain all the way to Bashu?

Niu Da patted his head honestly: "Noble sir, I'm just a tour guide, I don't understand these things."

Yan Shou didn't ask any more questions, but he was more interested in Commander Xu.

After Yan Shui sold a large number of goods to collect funds, another big wave started in Fucheng - newspapers!

A newspaper costs 5 cents, and it is full of fancy quarrels among scholars.

A literate person would buy a newspaper, return home, pour a glass of bean juice, and read it slowly. After reading it several times, carefully put the newspaper in the wooden box to avoid being bitten by snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

Ordinary people who couldn't read a word would find a teahouse and listen to novelists spread out newspapers and read them.

Novelists are well-informed. After reading, they will either gossip about the author's past, or vividly talk about the love and hatred of the quarreling people. Occasionally, they will use their imagination to make up some sexy news, such as Forbidden love, two men competing for one woman and the like.

Of course the stories written by novelists are more interesting than those in newspapers.

Living in Bashu County, earning money from the people of Bashu County, and eating the rice grown by Bashu farmers, the novelists do not hesitate to please their parents.

"Hundreds of schools of thought besieged a certain gentleman. The gentleman showed no fear in the face of danger, showed his power, and played with him in the midst of applause!"

"Can women be officials? A certain adult said this..."

"Why did Xunzi break up with a certain gentleman? The reason was that he was buried in a heavy funeral and mourned for a long time! The people were miserable because of the heavy burial and long mourning."

"The day before yesterday, Confucian scholars and students sat in protest in front of the county governor's house. The reason was that they couldn't write calligraphy!"

No matter how many Confucian scholars there are, how can they compare with the number of locals in Bashu?

No matter how loudly they shout, this is not the way to argue. This is a delaying tactic used by many fish. Under the interpretation of novelists, this is nothing more than their sophistry.

The key is that everyone believes it to be true, and the visitors from the other six countries are watching the show, and even despise the Confucian scholars for being beaten without the ability to fight back.

"It's really abominable!" A Confucian scholar in Chinese uniform punched the wall hard. The wall made of bluestone did not move at all, but his fist turned red.

"None of the articles we wrote to the newspaper were published!" The speaker flipped through the newspaper.

The representative of the Qin clan asked sullenly, "What did the newspaper say?"

"It was said that there were too many submissions and we had to queue up. When I asked again in a few days, the topic had no attention and affected the sales of the newspaper!" The Confucian scholar was almost furious. The article he had made an impassioned speech and stayed up all night to write was not accepted. Posted!

"What sales volume do you want? They are obviously burning money! Such a big piece of paper, placed in a paper shop, will sell for at least 20 cents!"

"It's a pity that it's so densely packed that there are no gaps at all. Otherwise, it would be worthwhile to stock up on more newspapers." The student hurriedly shut his mouth. He was so careless. Why did he say what was in his heart?

Another student said angrily: "You can't buy more now. The newsstand has a purchase limit, and one person can only buy one."

"The bulk of it was rounded up by merchants from various countries and sold to other vassal states."

! ! ! This debate has attracted the attention of all parties, but when the spies go back and retell it, how can they cover everything?

It's different with this newspaper!

Isn't this just being immersed in the scene and eating melons from the front line? There is no need to memorize it by rote, you can just look it up when you want to read it.

University palaces and students can also learn knowledge about other subjects through newspapers, and come into contact with celebrities that they may not be able to come into contact with in their lifetime.

In the past, knowledge that was hard to find could be easily obtained through a thin newspaper.

Not to mention selling it for 5 yuan, people will buy it if it is doubled ten times or a hundred times!

Businessmen don't care about academic disputes. They only see the huge benefits of getting rich overnight! I believe it won’t be long before newspapers will appear on the desks of nobles from all major vassal states!

The far-sighted Confucian scholars have realized that there is something scary about newspapers. Whichever theory appears more in newspapers, that theory will occupy the high ground!

"No, we also open a newspaper office!"

"Xunzi asked a few days ago. There is a law in Bashu County, and newspapers in the county need to be reviewed and approved. Currently, only this one, "The Words of Hundreds of Families", has been approved. It is updated every seven days."

"Isn't this just being a rogue? Let's go back to Xianyang! The general manager of Bashu County can't take care of Xianyang's affairs." It's the same student who clamored to go back.

"Where did you get the paper? Even if you pay a high price to buy paper, how could there be so many people copying it?"

Many fish are backed by Bashu County, what do they have? The Qin clan did not dare to engage in such a sensitive matter openly.

Isn’t it boring to publish newspapers in Xianyang? Where to put the king and the ministers of the court?

"Are we just going to do nothing?!" the scholar in Washington gritted his teeth.

What is Chicken Sichen? This is!

These many fish have no father or mother, no husband, no heirs, and no clan. One of their two masters is dead, and the other is far away in Zhao State. She acts lawlessly, but no one can control her!

Even the king was confused by her!

"Xunzi, we can't sit still and wait for death!" Everyone looked at Xunzi who just came in.

Xunzi looked at the newspapers in everyone's hands coldly, unable to leave the rhythm to the many fishes. The current storm of arguments has long been transferred from the issue of women becoming officials to various academic disputes.

Who can remember that this was actually a polemic against women?

Everyone wants their theories to be seen by the nobles, and everyone wants to be famous, so they throw out what they think are the essence of the theories, but they don't know that they are far away from the topic.

This move of Duoyu is really powerful. She had long since withdrawn from the storm of public opinion and quietly watched the fights among various families.

Not only that, she also made a lot of money from it. People were sitting at home and receiving money from all directions. She was worthy of being called the most profitable woman.

Talent, wealth, and fame, she has earned them all! Killing four eagles with one arrow, awesome.

Xunzi stood up, shook off the ashes on his robes, and with bright eyes decided to go find the major clans.

Duoyu, don’t underestimate the power of the clan! What's more, among hundreds of schools of thought, who would want to see your family dominate and control the world's discourse?

If people are too greedy, they will always suffer.

Confucianism suffered once, now it's your turn!
