Manager Qian and his group continued their actions. They spread rumors and slandered Su Jinli and Jinyun Bookstore, trying to discourage authors from visiting Jinyun Bookstore. At the same time, they used coercion and inducement to some authors, trying to get them to join their camp and fight against Jinyun Bookstore.
Some timid authors, threatened by Qian and others, had to temporarily give up the idea of submitting their works to Jinyun Bookstore. However, there were also many determined authors who were moved by Su Jinli's article and firmly believed that what she did was right, so they chose to continue supporting Jinyun Bookstore.
Faced with this situation, Su Jinli decided to take the initiative. She invited some well-known authors in Beijing to a small symposium. During the symposium, she elaborated on the significance of copyright protection and the future development plan of Jinyun Bookstore, allowing the authors to gain a deeper understanding of her philosophy.
"Everyone, I am well aware of the hard work you have put into the creative process. Copyright is the result of your hard work and should be protected. Jinyun Bookstore is willing to build a fair and just platform for you so that your works can get the respect and rewards they deserve." Su Jinli looked at every author present sincerely, his eyes full of determination and expectation.
The authors all expressed their agreement with Su Jinli's words. They felt Su Jinli's sincerity and saw Jinyun Bookstore's commitment to copyright protection. At the symposium, they also discussed how to respond to the threats posed by Qian Zhanggui and others, and jointly devised strategies for maintaining the healthy development of the cultural market.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yan's efforts at court were bearing fruit. Some ministers recognized the importance of copyright protection to cultural prosperity and advised the emperor to introduce policies to regulate the cultural market.
Upon hearing this, the emperor took it very seriously. He ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue to jointly discuss and formulate a comprehensive copyright protection system. This news caused an uproar throughout the capital. The people praised the emperor's wise decision, and Su Jinli's reputation soared, becoming known as a heroine who stood up for cultural causes.
When Qian and the others heard the news, they were like ants on a hot pot, extremely anxious. They realized that their plan had completely failed, and that their previous actions were likely to bring serious consequences to themselves.
With the intervention of the imperial court, Qian and his companions were forced to curb their behavior. The authors who had been threatened by them also re-contacted Jinyun Bookstore and expressed their desire to submit their works.
With the gradual improvement of the imperial court's copyright protection system, the capital's cultural market began to become more standardized and orderly. Under the management of Su Jinli and Jiang Yan, Jinyun Bookstore ushered in new development opportunities. More and more excellent works were published by Jinyun Bookstore, and these works were not only popular in Dajing but also spread to neighboring countries, making a significant contribution to the dissemination of Dajing's culture.
Su Jinli's article, "On the Importance of Copyright Protection," has become a classic in Dajing's cultural history. It not only transformed the chaotic cultural market of the time but also laid a solid foundation for future cultural development. And along with the prosperity of Jinyun Bookstore, the names of Su Jinli and Jiang Yan have been forever etched in Dajing's cultural history, becoming legendary figures.
