Chapter 232: Inadvertently Inserting Willows (Part 1)

Chapter 232 Unintentional Insertion (Part 1)

In mid-June, it is hot and hot.

It was just dawn, and waves of heat swept across the entire Luoyang City with the rising sun, causing the people on the street to speed up and head towards their destination.

Ye Qing, who was mixed in the crowd, was three points faster than usual. He was rushing down and rushed without pause when he passed a certain intersection. But just as he was about to walk to the other side and turned into the alley ahead, a bold shout came from his ears: "Let's take a look, the new Zongheng Monthly Newspaper on the street, why did the thunder in the moonlight only strike them? You will know the answer when you read this newspaper. Hey..."

"Huh?" Ye Qing's steps stopped suddenly, and he quickly raised his eyes and looked in the sound. He saw Fan Laohu, who was dressed in a short dress and his arms were thicker than his thighs, waving a few newspapers and shouting at the pedestrians. It really aroused the interest of many people, and several people had already walked forward.

Ye Qing didn't hesitate much and immediately turned around and came over: "The Zongheng Monthly Report can be calculated for a new issue. I'll give me a copy, Brother Hu..."

He has been thinking about the second issue of the newspaper for a long time. He was just taking it casually, and he forgot the most eye-catching article about the neglected woman in the Huagongs. However, the unique poems made him remember them vividly, but that was the end.

However, after seeing the last two pages of the newspaper and seeing the beginning of those two novels, Ye Qing was completely fascinated by the novel and wonderful stories inside. In the past, he bought and read a lot of novels in his spare time, but no novel could compare to the twists and turns of "Bao Gong Case" published in this newspaper. Especially when the story was discovered by the victim, there was another inside story, and a black shadow suddenly appeared behind it, as if the attack on him suddenly broke, which made people's brain and heart-wrenching. In the next few days, they only thought about what would happen later...

It can be said that since he took the newspaper last month, Ye Qing has been thinking about this matter. Every day when he goes out, he thinks about when he will see the Zongheng Monthly newspaper going out again. He finally waited for it today, so he naturally won't miss it.

Many people around Fan Laohu also had the same idea and reached out to ask for the newspaper from him. But to everyone's surprise, Fan Laohu no longer insisted on stuffing the newspaper with everyone as before, but glared at the pair of circular eyes and said loudly: "We know you want this monthly newspaper, but Lao Fan, I have something to say first. Today, this newspaper is not for nothing. You have to pay. A piece of ten cents is worth a penny, who should give it first!"

"Ah...didn't this monthly report be given for free?"

"That's right, Wang Laowu gave it to you, why did you need money when you get to your place?"

"Fan Laohu, maybe you are crazy about money and think that you can make more money, so you said you want money?"

Seeing everyone talking, Fan Laohu felt annoyed and immediately shouted: "Haha! Are you still calling yourself a scholar? Why is it not as reasonable as me, Fan Ming? How come there is no good thing in the world to take things for nothing but give money? Why are you talking about your brother Hu crazy about money? I think it's because you want to take newspapers for nothing!

"You go somewhere else to see it. It's the same. Today's monthly report is only at this price, ten cents, buy it if you want it. Don't quit in front of your brother Hu. Get away as soon as possible!"

When I saw this ruffian, everyone was finally convinced that it was true. At that moment, half of the people who wanted to take the newspaper for nothing left, but some people were still moved. The quality of the first monthly report was there, which was enough for them to spend a day or two at home. Moreover, the story was really exciting, and ten cents were indeed not expensive, just the price of two sesame cakes...

However, everyone still couldn't turn around. Why did the free things suddenly cost money? If we don't pay for them, they will give them away for free? People in the world have a mentality of being greedy for small gains, and at this time they are all hesitant.

Ye Qing couldn't wait anymore. He had to go to the clan school to teach, so it was not good to be late. Ten cents were indeed nothing to him, so after he hesitating, he took out ten big money and came to Fan Laohu: "Brother Hu, give me one." He said that and handed over the money.

Seeing that someone was willing to pay for a newspaper, he finally opened it. Fan Laohu was happy and his eyes narrowed: "Ye Xiucai, you are a smart person. This monthly newspaper is a good thing. You will definitely not lose if you buy it for ten cents. If it weren't for Brother Hu, I would have to buy one for myself to read it." As he spoke, he received the money and handed it over. After Ye Qing got the newspaper, he only smiled at him and turned around and left.

Seeing this, the others were finally shaken. In fact, many people didn't care too much about the ten cents, but just took the lead in buying newspapers. Now Ye Qing took the lead, and the others just went up to pay for the newspapers in groups of three or three. In just a short while, more than thirty newspapers were sold.

Looking at the quickly bulging waist bag, Fan Laohu smiled even more happily and shouted even more: "My fellow villagers, have a look, the new issue of Zongheng Monthly Report, why did the thunder in the beginning of the moon only strike those people? You will know the answer after reading it. Hey..."

Almost the scenes are happening at many Minfang Street intersections in Dongcheng. Although the shipment volume and speed of newspapers this time are far from being compared with the first issue when they were given free, in half a day, more than 500 newspapers were still bought.

...

At noon, Ye Qing, who had taught a class, turned back to the hall where he was resting tiredly. While thinking about what to eat later, he focused on the newly bought newspaper. After buying the newspaper, he didn't have time to take a look, and he didn't know whether the ten cents were worth it.

I didn't want to go back to my desk and glanced at me, but I couldn't see the newspaper I put on. I immediately turned around and asked my colleague who was watching at the desk: "Brother Xu, have you seen my new Zongheng Monthly Report?"

"Oh, here I am, this article is more interesting than the last one, but why did you get one this time?"

"You..." Ye Qing was so angry that he had divided the newspapers into the few people in the hall before. Good guy, he actually thought this was the right thing to do! He walked over angrily and stretched out his hand: "Give me back, this is the newspaper I bought, and I'm about to read it."

"Wait a minute, this letter of God is well written. The battle between Huangdi and Chiyou is really interesting, and there is still half..." Before he finished speaking, the newspaper on the desk had been forced to be taken away by Ye Qing, "You...what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? I said I bought it for money, now I'm going to read it." Ye Qing snorted at him, then took the newspaper and returned to his side. Before he could read the newspaper he bought for money, this guy read it almost and said sarcastic words. How could he tolerate it?

Then Xu Shusheng reacted a little: "Is this what you bought? Didn't you say you gave it away before?"

"That was the last time, so if you want to see it, it is not expensive to buy it yourself, it is only ten cents." As he said that, he ignored what the other party said, and looked down at the newspaper.

Originally, he wanted to go straight to the two novels next, but after just a casual scan, he saw the eye-catching title on the first page - "Be careful! Why does thunder strike only these people!" This made him subconsciously read the article that was placed in the most eye-catching place first, and when he saw it, he scratched his head.

Although Li Ling's popular science article titled very skillfully, the content is real and informative. It uses simple and easy-to-understand sentences to explain some of the characteristics of lightning and lightning. It also pointed out that the higher the place, the easier it is to be struck by lightning. When the tree is wet by the rain, it can lead lightning to the bottom, which leads to the tragic occurrence of the rain-wearing person under the tree being struck by lightning...

If such articles were placed in later generations, they could only be used in kindergartens, at most, in first and second grades of elementary school. After all, in later generations where science was prosperous, this has become a common sense existence. However, in today's Great Yue Dynasty, such statements are not only novel, but also too impacting people's worldview.

Isn’t this thunder descended by God to punish or warn creatures? How come it became a natural phenomenon in his writing, and it can be effectively avoided?

But when you look closely, it seems to make some sense. Some readers who read newspapers have indeed had such experience, whether in books or in their own experiences, lightning always strikes high places. As for the statements about conductivity of big trees, everyone doesn't take it too seriously.

But this was enough. Such a strange and even absurd view was put forward, and it was soon spread by those who had read the newspaper. First, they discussed it with some friends, and then spread and argued... Two days later, this statement was not only spread among the common people, but even officials began to discuss it in their spare time.

To discuss whether this statement makes sense, the true meaning of the article is naturally indispensable. Therefore, the Zongheng Monthly Report, which sold seven or eight hundred copies on the first day, on the third day, sales soared, and more than 2,000 newspapers were swept away in less than half a day.

When Fan Laohu and others rushed back to Zongheng Bookstore to ask for more newspapers, Wan Lang and the others couldn't believe their ears: "Are you saying that all the newspapers were sold out?"

"good."

"Don't coax us with big words, don't you hide the newspaper yourself, right?"

"Are we such a person? Boss Wan, you are so righteous to us. We brothers will not do anything that we are sorry for you. The fact is that in half a day today, many people came to buy Zongheng Monthly News. We sold out just now, and some people came to inquire."

"Uh... OK." Although Wan Lang looked puzzled, he still waved his hand, "There are more than a thousand copies in the future. Please share them. Remember, don't raise the price by yourself just because it sells well. If we find it, the transaction will not be completed in the future."

"Don't worry, we have a sense of responsibility. This business can be done, and the future will be long."
