Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 315 The Madness Caused by a Newspaper
"Haha... I don't want Datang Daily, and you don't want to sell it. You can keep the money." The middle-aged man casually gave the child more than a dozen coins.

"Thank you sir for the reward. Don't you really need the Datang Daily? The gentlemen in other teahouses are reluctant to let go after buying newspapers." After thanking the middle-aged man, the child looked at him with strange eyes, doubting him Not a scholar.

"Oh." The middle-aged man curiously looked at the Datang Daily in the child's hand, and saw a few words, which made him excited, and almost shouted: "Master Li, it's Master Li's work."

"What? Master Li? Could it be His Majesty's mentor, Li Gang, Master Li?" Many officials and students who were drinking tea in the teahouse couldn't help but start to guess.

When Wang Pingan heard someone exclaim, the corner of his mouth turned up, and he said to Zhao Hao: "Zhao Hao, just watch, people here are about to go crazy for Datang Daily."

"Come here." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and squeezed out three words, as if he had made up his mind.

"Okay." The newspaper boy happily took out a newspaper with a strong ink fragrance from the big bag. Each newspaper had five pages and twenty pages, and placed it in front of the middle-aged man: "Sir, here is the newspaper." You Datang Daily."

The middle-aged man took out two hundred coins from his money bag, handed the money to the newspaper boy with one hand, and took the Datang Daily with the other.

Then he took a sip of tea and couldn't wait to find Li Gang's works that he had just seen in the newspaper, but he saw what he wanted before he picked up the newspaper.

He stood up excitedly, and said: "This, this, this is really Master Li's work, it's great, it's really great!"

Li Gang and Yan Qingshan are both emperor teachers. Although he is only an idle official in the Imperial College, he is one of the best Confucian scholars in the world. The teacher in the minds of all students is the Taishan Beidou of the literary world. No one does not want to read his books masterpiece.

Now that his masterpiece is published in the Datang Daily, how can we not make these officials and students excited, you must know that only the students of the Imperial College have the opportunity to learn his masterpiece, and now they have the opportunity, how can we not be unhappy and not excited.

As soon as the middle-aged man shouted, everyone in the teahouse became restless, but they still didn't quite believe it, wondering if the other party was the child's entrustment.

A few dubious students walked up to the middle-aged man, cupped their hands and said, "Sir, please forgive me for disturbing you. I wonder if we two can sit with you."

The middle-aged man turned his attention from the newspaper to the two students and said, "Please sit down." Then he continued to appreciate Li Gang's "Analects of Confucius".

The two students looked at each other and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir. I wonder if I can show the students the newspaper in your hand."

The middle-aged man frowned, then divided two sheets, gave each of them one sheet, and said, "Here, please read these two sheets first."

"Student Chen Yong (Du Feng) is very thankful, sir." The two students were very excited after receiving the newspaper.

"Oh my god, this is Master Yan's "Yan's Worthy Essays". Why is Yan's work published in the Datang Daily?" Chen Yong shouted in disbelief while holding the newspaper.

Immediately, there was a commotion in the teahouse, and they all gathered around the middle-aged man's table one after another, wanting to have a look at the contents.

Chen Yong carefully returned the newspaper to the surprised middle-aged man, and said: "Thank you sir for showing the newspaper to the students." You said to Du Feng: "Du Feng, quickly return the newspaper to sir."

Unexpectedly, Du Feng was watching with relish, and did not hear Chen Yong's voice at all, causing Chen Yong to sigh, leaving Du Feng and walking out of the crowd to look for the children selling newspapers.

The middle-aged man never expected that the newspapers he gave to the two students turned out to be the second and third editions, which published Yan Qingshan's "Yan Shixian Wen" and Wang Ping'an's "White Snake Legend". This is the entire newspaper Core.

It happened so fast that everyone didn't react for a while. The newspaper they just got was returned to others before their hands were warmed up, and they abandoned their companions and left. They didn't know why. Without him, the newspaper matter was thrown out of the blue.

I saw that Chen Yong was looking for a boy selling newspapers everywhere, but he was sitting with a person about his age, chatting happily, and an adult beside him was pouring tea for them.

He quickly walked to the boy selling newspapers, took out four hundred coins from his pocket, and said, "This is four hundred coins, give me two newspapers."

The newspaper seller put away the money, quickly pulled out two newspapers from the big bag, and said, "Here, your two newspapers."

At noon, everyone knew that he was going to buy newspapers.At this moment, all of them felt a sudden thumping in their hearts. Buying newspapers, no matter whether they entrusted them or not, they bought it first, and it would be a regret if they couldn't buy it.

At this moment, Wang Ping'an gave the newspaper boy a wink, and the newspaper boy understood, took out a newspaper from the bag, held it up high, and shouted: "I'm selling the newspaper, I'm selling the newspaper, two hundred cents a copy. Quantity is limited, first buy first served, regret it too late. Sell newspapers, sell newspapers..."

Soon everyone realized that those who brought enough money had already taken out two hundred cash from the purse, handed it to the newspaper seller, and then took the newspaper away.

Those who didn’t have enough money started to ask their friends to borrow it, but if you wanted to buy it, I wanted to buy it too, so the two discussed buying the newspaper and sharing it equally, but after buying it, they quit.

There was a lot of panic buying at the scene, and it was no longer the harmonious, quiet, and comfortable environment before. Instead, there were constant quarrels, but the literati cursed people without using dirty words.

When the last newspaper was left in the hands of the newspaper seller, the scene turned into an auction, because everyone knew from the people who bought the newspaper that the article by Li Gang and Yan Qingshan was published in the newspaper.

Just because of these two major works, it is expensive to buy, so the last newspaper has directly become an auction.

Wang Ping'an was shocked to see everyone going crazy for a newspaper. Although he knew it would be a hit, he couldn't even think of it being so crazy.

The boy who sold the newspaper was holding up the last copy of Datang Daily, and saw the price increase from two hundred to sixteen.

Wang Pingan also saw the other party's eyes asking for help, so after whispering a few words to Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao walked up to the newspaper boy, took the newspaper from his hand, and then gave him two hundred coins: "This It's two hundred Wen, I want the newspaper."

Immediately, those officials and students who were desperately bidding for the price just now quit, and blurted out: "Who are you, why are you robbing my newspaper?" Tang Daily."
