Chapter 176: Soul Ginseng Soup



After Fang Zhengyi's full efforts, reporters began to visit the streets the next day.

Fang Zhengyi was sitting in the newspaper office, thinking hard.

The newspaper is divided into several sections, such as Approaching Science, Sunny Politics, People's Life, Celebrity Interviews, etc....

Fang Zhengyi’s main focus was naturally on open political affairs. After the newspapers were published in a few days, he could use public opinion to influence all officials.

It was obviously a bit hasty to do this, but he had no time to waste.

Even if all officials donated grain, how much they could donate, when they could donate, and how long it would take to transport it to the south were all uncontrollable factors.

Founder can only reduce the time in the part that makes a difference.

But now he is not thinking about the political affairs section, and there is no rush for this part.

What he wants to write now is Approaching Science.

Ever since the blood of the high monk from Fuyun Temple became famous, things seemed to be moving in a strange direction.

Bottles of monk's blood appeared on the market.

Obviously those monks don't have that much blood to spare, but the market has been hyped up.

Therefore, the various fake bloods currently popular on the market must be of unknown origin.

A group of ignorant people paid a high price to buy it and drank it, but they didn't know what diseases they would get.

Blood is dirtier than anything else.

Fang Zheng thought hard for a long time and then wrote down his thoughts solemnly.

[Approaching Science, Episode 1, The Cursed Fuyun Temple! ]

................

The next day, little newspaper boys who had been arranged in advance went out to the streets in every neighborhood of the city, carrying their bags.

Selling things on the street.

"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! The Prince's Daily is published today. The latest news in the city is all in the newspaper. Each copy only costs five cents!"

Many scholars surrounded the newsboy curiously.

But the people around were obviously very curious, but when they stopped to observe, they saw that there were obviously words on it and they couldn't understand them, so it would be a waste of time to buy it.

Soon people gathered around him and asked curiously, "Kid! What are you selling? And is it related to the prince?"

"This is called a newspaper! All the big and small events in the city are written in the newspaper every day. This newspaper is made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself! It only costs five cents per copy. The quantity is limited and it's on a first-come, first-served basis!"

"The prince's stuff? Really five cents? Give me a copy so I can see it!"

It's only five cents, and it's obviously worth it to exchange a bowl of plain noodles for a piece of paper full of words.

Those who came to buy did not hesitate too much and just paid for one.

The scholar took the newspaper handed to him by the newsboy, unfolded it and read it carefully, and his friends beside him also leaned over to read.

Soon the scholar smiled and said to the people around him: "Brother Liu, this newspaper is quite interesting. Look, it even records what happened in the court."

Brother Liu kept looking at the science section, but after hearing what he said, his eyes shifted over.

He recited it softly.

"These are the heartwarming words in the court?... His Majesty affectionately calls Fang Zhengyi Fang Qing... His Majesty is concerned about the people and cannot sleep at night, and all officials are also worried about the food disaster..."

"Well, it looks fresh, but there doesn't seem to be any substantial content in it. What did the officials do? I don't understand."

"And the words you use are too plain, aren't they? Did the prince really do this?"

The two looked at each other and immediately felt that they had been cheated.

"Look again!"

"Hey, there is also a spiritual ginseng soup: dedicated to the students of the world, what is this?"

"If you are not brave, no one will be strong for you."

“Everyone learns to be strong while getting hurt.”

“..............”

"If you are afraid of suffering, you will suffer for your whole life; if you are not afraid of suffering, you will suffer for half your life"

The two looked at each other again, their eyes somewhat excited, and then looked down again.

Similar scenes of varying sizes began to appear one after another in the capital.

Many people feel like it’s Chinese New Year to see so much news in one day, and they are so happy that they can’t stop smiling.

After all, it’s quite boring to talk about poetry every day. I didn’t expect that one day there would be so many melons to eat at the same time.

There are at least seven or eight recorded stories, such as visiting a widow's house at night and a butcher bravely rescuing a person who fell into the water.

However, what ordinary people are most concerned about is obviously the suspense drama and the cursed Fuyun Temple.

Countless people gathered around the newspaper reader who had been invited long ago, listening to his sensational stories about the blood of the monk.

Although Fang Zheng only wrote the first half, the shocking words in the newspaper still made people shudder.

Such things as being seriously ill, giving birth to a deformed child, scholars who have come into contact with the blood of monks will suffer from mental retardation, and the court will never employ them, etc.

No one knows why all this happened, but the angry people have already set their sights on Fuyun Temple...

As for those who read books, they will definitely be more interested in chicken soup.

Especially Fang Zhengyi’s last modified article “A Preface to Ma Sheng of Dongyang”, the original text was so long that Fang Zhengyi could no longer remember it.

I wrote half of it haltingly, and then sent it to Taoyuan County for a cloze test. After I finished filling in the general meaning, I printed it out.

Many people's impression of Fang Zhengyi changed drastically after watching it!

The image of a treacherous minister in the eyes of many scholars was transformed into the image of a man who came from an extremely poor family when he was young, and who worked tirelessly to study, even though his hands and feet were frozen stiff, he was still diligent and hardworking.

Even if such a person becomes a treacherous minister, who can't understand it?

After all, life is already so hard, how can we blame others? And those short sentences in the front are concise and to the point, and they hit the heart directly, which are obviously Fang Zhengyi's true feelings!

Is this person really a traitor? Even if he is a traitor, he can be so honest, which is really tearful!

..................

In the newspaper office, Li Yuanzhao was still holding the newspaper and complaining.

He pointed at the spiritual ginseng soup section.

"Old Fang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but what's the point of writing this spiritual ginseng soup? Isn't this a waste of space?"

Fang Zheng glanced at him and said, "Haha, Your Highness doesn't understand, are there more students in the world who are happy or frustrated?"

"Of course there are more frustrated people? What's wrong?"

"That's right. This is written for those frustrated students. We must strive to win the likes of the majority of people so that we can have credibility."

"Tell me about those scholars who have failed in the exams time and again. They are usually looked down upon or ridiculed. We can give them some spiritual ginseng soup to nourish their bodies..."

In fact, he mainly wants to clear himself because his reputation is too bad.

Those scholars with connections will always follow the big shots they cling to to discredit themselves, so we can only strive for the majority of people who have no connections.

Drink chicken soup till you drop, I don’t believe it has no effect!

Of course, there are also many chicken soups in the literary world of Jingguo, but in Fang Zhengyi's opinion, those things are too restrained and too implicit, and the purity is too low! Fade out!

Compared with Fang Zhengyi's 21st Century Selected Chicken Soup, it's just a thick soup treasure that you can stuff into your mouth.

Just tell me if it’s fresh or not!
