Princess's Mansion,
The wooden fish is tapped gently, and the Buddhist chants rise into the clouds.
The courtyard was filled with monks sitting cross-legged, chanting sutras to exorcise ghosts.
Master Zhihong, a senior monk at Tianfu Temple, frowned.
Is the Princess's Mansion clean? Naturally it is not clean.
There are evil ghosts and spirits everywhere, chant the mantra for rebirth and they will be reborn.
But the eldest princess ordered him to catch ghosts. What kind of ghost could empty the entire warehouse?
The King of Hell?
If it really was the King of Hell, with his skills, he would probably be annihilated if he got close to him. Asking him to catch ghosts, isn't this a fantasy?
Moreover, Princess 꺶 mentioned in her words that Princess Kangle was precocious and almost magical. Could it be that Princess Kangle suspected that she had been possessed by a ghost?
Do you want me to convict Princess Kangle?
If Princess Kangle was an ordinary person, he might be forced to harm others against his conscience under pressure from the Princess's Mansion.
But is Princess Kangle an ordinary person?
Of course not.
Princess Kangle was extraordinary when she entered the court at the age of thirteen, and saving the people during a violent storm can be considered a meritorious deed that brought good fortune.
Although his knowledge of Buddhism was superficial, he never harmed people who had good merits and good fortune.
He didn't dare to touch the King of Hell, nor did he dare to offend Princess Kangle. Princess 꺶 was pressing him hard, so Master Zhihong wondered whether he should pretend to be weak.
After all, isn't it laborious and tiring to catch ghosts and recite scriptures?
Let’s not talk about Master Zhihong’s depression for now.
However, the sales of Cangwu People's Daily and Cui Zixuan's Dream Record of the Saint were almost the same at the beginning.
The prices of the two newspapers were the same, four cents for one copy and seven cents for two copies.
People in Beijing are not short of money. They buy one copy from one newspaper and then buy one from another newspaper. After all, the contents of the two newspapers are different.
But gradually, people discovered that the accuracy of the observatory's seven-day weather forecast was almost the same as Cui Zixuan's three-day weather forecast in the Saint's Dream Record, both of which were around 95%.
Moreover, the Cangwu People's Daily is on sale at the beginning of every day, that is, at 7 o'clock in the morning.
The saint gave the dream record at exactly 8 o'clock, so it was not sold until 8 o'clock.
The two newspapers were half an hour apart.
At first no one paid attention to the problem of time, but after a long time, the error of half an hour was discovered by someone.
There were rumors that Cui Zixuan was not as good as others in predicting rainy days, and now she was following Kangle County's example and publishing a newspaper. It was estimated that her weather forecast was copied from Cangwu People's Daily.
For a while, the capital was in an uproar, and everyone was talking about this topic after dinner.
Even the emperor heard about this matter. After leaving the court, he asked Song Jinxiu alone whether he should send someone to seal up "The Record of Dreams Granted by the Saint".
Song Jinxiu blinked. Your Majesty, do you want to use this to suppress "The Dream Record of the Saint Girl"?
Suddenly, she had an idea.
Cui Zixuan's newspaper was given such a lame name, probably to test your Majesty's attitude, and your Majesty took this opportunity of "plagiarism" to ban "The Dream Record of the Saint", which is to show his attitude.
I'm afraid Your Majesty doesn't like anything related to the "Saint".
Your Majesty, are you trying to nip this problem in the bud?
snort! The Cui family is still thinking of having another saint, but with Your Majesty's attitude, that is absolutely impossible.
Song Jinxiu thought about it and shook her head, "Without your Majesty's intervention, I have a way to make sure that no one is interested in her "Record of the Saint's Dreams"."
"Oh? The Cui family is not a good family. Song Aiqing, plagiarism is a bad behavior. You must not be soft-hearted!"
"Your Majesty, it's not illegal to plagiarize the weather forecast. I hope everyone will plagiarize the observatory's weather forecast. This will at least allow more people to understand weather changes. It's a good thing."
Seeing the emperor's depressed expression, Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty's ban will only make the people more curious about The Saint's Dream Record, and it may even cause a corresponding effect.
Your Majesty, rest assured. I have a way to make "The Record of the Saint's Dreams" lose the support of the people.
If no one is interested in "The Dream Record of the Saint" and it becomes a piece of waste paper, I think it will be more effective than banning it. ”
Is it what people want?
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "What tricks does Lord Song have?"
Song Jinxiu said with a serious face: "I rely on my ability, Your Majesty, just wait and see."
After Song Jinxiu and Zhu Beichen discussed it, the content of Cangwu People's Daily became richer.
The headlines include current affairs, court anecdotes, folk tales, and secrets of nobles.
There are also poems and songs with beautiful language, fascinating serial novels, and exquisite paintings and illustrations.
For a time, the daily edition of Cangwu People's Daily was sold out in less than an hour.
Not to mention Cui Zixuan's "The Dream Record of the Saint", even Song Jinfang's novel pictorial was affected.
Fortunately, her "Journey to the West" already has a fixed readership, but if this continues, it will sooner or later be squeezed out by the "Cangwu People's Daily".
"Sister, why don't I stop doing this after I publish Journey to the West?"
Song Jinfang discussed this with her sister, as she didn't expect to make money from the pictorial.
Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "Your pictorial should focus on the painting."
As she spoke, she brought over a comic book titled "The Three Strikes on the White Bone Demon".
"Hey, look at this comic book."
"A comic book? Wow, there really are comics. They're so pretty. Sister, can Journey to the West be like this? Hehehe, this picture of Sun Wukong is really pretty."
"Oh, I told you, a copy of Journey to the West will keep you well-fed and well-clothed."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll make this picture book and sell it. Kids will definitely like it."
Speaking of children, Song Jinxiu suddenly thought of her younger brother.
Picture books play an indispensable role in children's education.
Just for my little brother, I have to make this comic book.
Then she gave her sister a few picture books about idioms and stories.
For example, "Loyalty to the Country", "The Crow Drinks Water", "The Farmer and the Snake", "Pulling Up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow"...
Song Jinfang is no longer surprised by printed materials.
She put it away carefully and said, "Sister, I'll go and draw it now."
My sister's things cannot be seen by others. She had to imitate the drawing and correct the missing characters before handing it over to the people in charge of the printing plate for engraving and printing.
The sales of Cui Zixuan's "The Saint's Dream Record" have declined significantly. Sometimes, even after Cangwu People's Daily was sold out, people would come in groups to buy one or two copies.
What’s even more annoying is that these people chat while buying.
"Hey, you got up late too? Didn't you buy the Cangwu People's Daily?"
"Nonsense, if I have bought it, can I still buy this "Record of the Saint's Dreams"? "
"Whatever, it's just a weather forecast, so just make do with it."
What does it mean to just make do with it?
What do you mean you won’t buy it again after you’ve already bought it?
Cui Zixuan slammed the table and said, "Go, bring me that crappy newspaper. I want to see the golden words on the front."
The maid quickly handed over a copy of today's "Cangwu People's Daily".
They have special people who buy the Cangwu People's Daily as soon as possible every day just to see the weather forecast on it.
If the weather forecast outside is different from that of their own home, they will go to the Imperial Observatory for help.
The new edition will be published only after the supervisor confirms the weather again.
The purpose is to make their own weather forecast more accurate than the other party's.
Cui Zixuan holds the "Cangwu People's Daily". At first glance, there is no difference?
The layout order of the pages is the same.
Wait, there is also an advertisement seeking manuscripts.
Can't they continue to publish this newspaper? Why are you buying manuscripts from outsiders at high prices?
"Hahaha... Well, has that bitch Song Jinxiu finally run out of tricks?"
