Chapter 352 Selling newspapers, selling newspapers.
On the street.
Chai Zhewei was beaten up by his friends and squatted on the ground, clutching his earlobes.
"How dare you attack an official appointed by the imperial court!"
Choi Shin-ki suddenly shouted, "Do you admit to this crime or not?"
"No……"
Just as I was about to speak, I saw my friends all take a step forward at the same time.
Chai Zhewei was startled, and replied without hesitation, "I admit it!"
"Bring me paper and a pen!"
The lackey immediately handed over paper and pen.
Choi Shin-ki then handed it to Chai Cheol-wei with a smile: "Sign and put your fingerprint on it."
ah?
Chai Zhewei was stunned.
When did fighting require signing a contract?
"Sign or not?"
Choi Shin-ki then revealed his fierce and menacing appearance again.
"..."
Before Chai Zhewei could speak, his friends were all eager to get started.
If Chai Zhewei dares to say a single word against it, he's guaranteed to get a good talking-to.
"I'll sign!"
Chai Zhewei responded again, feeling frustrated.
However, when he saw the paper, he was immediately stunned...
Why is this blank paper?
"We'll write it in once you sign it!"
"No, you need to clearly state the charges before I can sign!" Chai Zhewei remained quite rational.
"You're not going to sign, huh?"
Choi Shin-ki took a step back.
The group of friends stepped forward in perfect unison.
In an instant...
Chai Zhewei was shrouded in darkness; he couldn't even see the sky when he looked up.
All I could see were my friends' sinister smiles.
"No...don't hit me, I'll sign!" Chai Zhewei gave in again.
"That's right."
After Chai Zhewei signed, Cui Shenji took it and looked at it.
After confirming there were no problems, they immediately became incredibly enthusiastic...
"Hey, what are you doing squatting on the ground? Get up right now..."
Turning to his friends, he scolded, "What's wrong with you guys? How could you let Weiwei squat on the ground?"
Little Weiwei?
I'm older than you!
Just as I was thinking this, my body felt light.
But his friends forcefully lifted him up.
"Little Weiwei."
Choi Shin-ki patted the other man's shoulder warmly: "Congratulations on joining the Imperial Academy army! From today onwards, we are brothers!"
"Someone come here!"
Choi Shin-ki yelled, "Get Wei-wei a backpack!"
What Imperial Academy army?
When did I agree to join you?
By the time Chai Zhewei realized what was happening...
He had a small backpack in his arms, stuffed full of newspapers.
"Set off."
Choi Shin-ki waved his hand and suddenly turned to Wang Xiu, saying, "Little Weiwei has just joined the Imperial Academy army, remember to teach him the Newspaper Seller's Song!"
"Mission accomplished!"
"good!"
Choi Shin-ki started singing again: "La la la, la la la..."
The others chimed in, "I'm an expert at selling newspapers."
"..."
Chai Zhewei was completely stunned.
What is all this about?
Wasn't I supposed to go to the palace to see His Majesty?
Why are you suddenly selling this lousy newspaper?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and catch up!"
Seeing Chai Zhewei in a daze, Wang Xiu reprimanded him.
"Don't even think about running away. You've already signed the documents for joining the Imperial Academy army. If you dare to go back on your word, we can make up those blank forms for you."
"..."
Damn it.
Chai Zhewei's eyes widened.
"So you really intend to use this to threaten me!"
*Smack*
Wang Xiu smacked him on the head with his backhand.
"Do you even need to threaten me?"
"Dare to resist, and I'll ambush you on your way home!"
Wenyun Pavilion.
The group arrived at Wenyun Pavilion.
Choi Shin-ki began issuing orders.
"Wang Xiu, you are in charge of East Market Street."
"Xiao Shandao, you're in charge of West Market Street."
"Xiao Ming, you're in charge of Tianmen Street..."
Choi Shin-ki arranged the matters methodically.
Finally, their gaze fell upon Chai Zhewei…
"Start selling at Cuiyunju on your first day."
"..."
Chai Zhewei had no idea what was going on.
Then a friend dragged me away from Wenyun Pavilion.
"La la la, la la la..."
The kids were shouting from the front.
He quickly turned to Chai Zhewei and asked, "Why aren't you singing?"
Sing my ass!
How could I possibly do something so shameful?
"Believe it or not, I'll go to God's office and report you for cheating and shirking your responsibilities?"
"..."
Chai Zhewei is very tired.
Finally, under repeated threats from his friends, he shamefully began to sing.
"Me...I'm a novice newspaper seller?"
That's right.
This is a nursery rhyme taught by my older brother, it's definitely not bad!
The young man raised his head and walked proudly into Cuiyun Residence.
"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale!"
The friend's complaint letter read: "Knowledgeable of astronomy and geography, from major court affairs to the private secrets of the state..."
"Everything you could ever want is here!"
My friends shouted from the front.
I didn't feel ashamed at all; on the contrary, I was very proud!
This is for the imperial court; who would dare to speak ill of me?
"Are you bragging?"
Sure enough, boasting big quickly attracts everyone's attention.
"Don't believe me?"
The colleague slammed the newspaper on the table: "This is the Ministry of Commerce's latest newspaper, the one used for deliberations in the imperial court!"
"You're saying this is recognized by the imperial court?" a diner couldn't help but ask.
"That's right!"
My friend showed me a huge headline on the newspaper. "Don't believe me? Look for yourself..."
The diners glanced at it casually.
Swish.
He quickly stood up in shock...
'How Wei Zheng taught you to become a prime minister in the Tang Dynasty?'
Just as I was about to read on, my friend flipped the newspaper over.
The diners were furious.
Just then, I saw another headline in the newspaper...
'I'm shocked! His Majesty actually agreed to such a thing!'
The diners were dumbfounded.
His Majesty dares to write this? And it seems he wrote something quite shameful.
"Hey, are you going to show it to me or not?" the diner asked impatiently.
"Two coins a piece!" the boy said, holding up two fingers.
"Are you robbing me?"
The diners were furious.
Two coins could buy half a bushel of grain.
"You big idiot."
My friend scoffed, "You've already come all the way to Cuiyunju for a meal, what's a little something extra?"
"And look carefully..."
"This isn't ordinary paper; it's top-quality paper!"
"The price alone is two coins per piece."
"We didn't make any money at all!"
Upon hearing this, the diners couldn't help but touch the quality of the paper.
Indeed, the quality is excellent.
Newspapers contain a lot of information, and you can't write much on ordinary paper.
"Alright..."
The diner took out two coins: "Give me one serving."
"Okay."
The friend excitedly handed it to the other person, then carefully stuffed the two coins into his pocket.
This is public funds; it needs to be kept safe.
Suddenly...
He looked at Chai Zhewei: "See? That's how we sell it."
“Our Imperial College soldiers enjoy high welfare benefits; you can earn one coin for every ten portions you sell.”
"Ordinary people don't get this kind of treatment!"
Go to hell.
Do you think I care about that one penny?
I've got plenty of money!
What kind of look is that?
The friend scolded, "Believe me or not, I'll go to Godbase and tell on you?"
"..."
Not again?
Chai Zhewei immediately deflated.
Once there's a compromise, there will be a second, a third, and countless more!
Finally, Chai Zhewei spoke up in shame...
"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale!"
"Knowing astronomy from above, geography from below, major affairs of the court, private affairs of the state..."
The two were running around Cuiyunju.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to interrupt.
As long as those two don't tear down Cuiyunju, it's fine for them to poop in the main hall!
But soon...
The shopkeeper immediately noticed something was wrong.
He noticed that everyone was talking about what was in the newspaper.
He had a sudden inspiration...
"Someone, go find a storyteller."
"They specifically explain the contents of the newspapers to diners!"
