After Wang Xiao and Li Si left, the Taoist priest walked and read the newspaper.

As he walked, he suddenly realized that his fellow disciples at his Taoist temple would definitely need some newspapers for instruction the next day, so the Taoist quickly turned to look at the newspaper boy who was walking and shouting.

"Hey kid, come here!"

The newspaper vendor heard the Taoist priest's shout and immediately turned to look.

Are you calling me?

"Yes, come here for a moment, I need to buy a few more newspapers!"

The Taoist priest smiled and then waved to the newspaper-selling child.

"Okay!"

The newsboy nodded excitedly, then skipped and hopped over to the Taoist priest.

"Sir, how many servings would you like?"

"I'll take all of these you have..."

As they spoke, the Taoist priest took out his money bag, and after finding that there were only forty-odd five-zhu coins left, he paused for a moment and then said:

"Hmm~, give me twenty servings!"

"Wow, thank you!"

Upon seeing that the other party had bought twenty copies at once, the newsboy was extremely excited and quickly counted out twenty newspapers and handed them to the Taoist priest.

"Hmm, the next step is to let the people know about this news so that more people can go and learn about it!"

The Taoist priest stuffed the newspaper into his pocket, muttering to himself as he looked at the stack of newspapers in the newsboy's hand. Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into his mind, and he thought of an excellent way to spread the word.

Then the Taoist priest smiled and looked at the newsboy.

"By the way, child, I have a way to make your newspapers sell faster. Would you like to try it?"

"What method? Please teach me!"

Upon hearing the Taoist priest's words, the newsboy blinked his big eyes and looked at the priest with eager anticipation.

The Taoist priest smiled and then said:

"You can shout this when selling newspapers: 'Newspapers are two yuan each...'"

"Is this okay?"

Upon hearing the Taoist's words, the newsboy paused for a moment, looking at the Taoist with some confusion.

"Of course, you can try. If no one buys them, Taiping Dojo will take all the rest!"

The Taoist priest smiled and nodded, gave the newsboy a reassuring look, and made a promise.

"Okay, I'll give it a try!"

Thinking that the other party had bought twenty newspapers at once, he figured they wouldn't lie to him, so the newsboy nodded in agreement.

The newsboy then picked up a newspaper, held it up, and shouted loudly to the workers walking towards them:

"Newspapers are for sale! They're only two coins a copy. Anyone who has one can take their child to the Taiping Taoist Temple to read and learn to read!"

For just two coins, you can give your child the opportunity to learn to read.

"Two coins, you won't lose out, you won't be cheated, come and take a look!"

"What...two coins...? Reading newspapers and learning to read...?"

Hearing the newsboy's shouts, several workers quickly came over.

"Hey kid, was what you just shouted true?"

Looking at the paper covered in text in the newsboy's hand, a burly man couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, yes, of course it's true. That Taoist master is over there. You can ask him if you don't believe me!"

The newsboy nodded, then turned and pointed to the Taoist priest not far away.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest smiled and stepped forward, addressing the group with a Taoist invocation before saying:

"What this child said is right. As long as you have this newspaper, you can take your children to the dojo, where we will teach them to read and recognize characters!"

"Hmm~, since it is the Daoist Master who said it, we are naturally willing to believe it!"

"That's right, you can buy a piece of paper for just two coins, it's not expensive at all!"

"Yes, yes, kid, give me one!"

"I want one too!!"

Upon hearing the Taoist priest's words, several workers couldn't help but show joy. They all stepped forward to buy the newspaper from the newsboy, and then treasured it as if it were a precious gem.

Soon, the news spread like wildfire, and people from the surrounding area flocked to the area to buy newspapers.

In no time, the stack of newspapers in the newsboy's hands was sold out, but even so, many people still couldn't buy them.

"Child, are there still any newspapers left?"

"Yes, child, that's far too little!"

Those who couldn't buy newspapers couldn't help but show a look of anxiety as they looked at the newsboys.

"Don't worry, everyone. There are still plenty of newspapers. Please wait here for a moment, and I'll go get them for you right away!"

Seeing everyone's anxious expressions, the newsboy shouted and then turned and ran towards the Royal Bookstore in the East Market.

"Child, bring more!"

"We have so many people waiting here!"

Upon seeing the newsboy take off running, several burly men shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Okay, I got it!"

Hearing the shouts of the crowd, the newsboy responded and then quickened his pace with a happy expression.

In the East Market, since it was still early and many shops had not yet opened, there were not many pedestrians in the market.

Only a few simply dressed students were walking through the market, and Mao Jie happened to be among them.

"Brother Xiaoxian, how are you doing auditing classes at the School of Engineering lately?"

As they walked, a student looked at Mao Jie and asked with a smile.

Mao Jie smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's good. I've learned a lot of practical things these past few days of auditing, and I'm more confident about the assessment now!"

"Yes, I've been learning a lot at the agricultural college lately, which will be of great help to me in passing the exams and becoming an official in the future!"

"Yeah, there's so much I need to write down, it's using up so much ink and paper!"
