As soon as this news came out, it unsurprisingly caused an uproar among countless people.
He Xu, lost to Jia Shao? !
It must be fake!
Some people said with certainty that this was true because He Xu said it himself.
But more people just refuse to believe it!
At the age of thirteen, how could the talented He Xu, the youngest juren in the Daliang Dynasty, lose to the unknown Jia Shao?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
That Jia Shao is just trying to gain fame and reputation!
All the scholars in Luo City were questioning the authenticity of this matter.
When Zhao Heng, the prefect of Luoyang, heard about it, he immediately concluded that it must be true!
He knew that it was Jia Shao who organized the "Mengjin Auspiciousness" and he had witnessed Jia Shao's talent with his own eyes in Hongyan Tower and had long been impressed by Jia Shao.
It’s not surprising that He Xu lost to Jia Shao!
The Peony Literature Festival will begin soon.
Jia Shao now has too much "negative news", which runs counter to the task that former Prime Minister Chen Bing had given him: "make Jia Shao famous at all costs."
Therefore, Zhao Heng needs to use some means to build momentum for Jia Shao!
We must ensure that after this flower-viewing and literary event in Luoyang, Jia Shao will become famous throughout the world!
After much thought, Zhao Heng set his sights on a newspaper that had become popular in Luoyang City in recent years - "Secret Stories in the Street".
This newspaper, "Secrets from the Market", initially published all kinds of sensational gossip and gained a certain readership in Luoyang City.
I heard.
"Secrets in the Market" also wants to take advantage of this Luoyang Literary Festival to transform itself into a "highbrow" work.
What is more noteworthy is that Zhao Heng also vaguely heard that this "Fangjian Mishi" newspaper has a strong background and seems to have close contacts with Kaifeng.
During the literary gathering, the city of Luoyang was crowded with scholars.
If we publish a series of official reports about the "Luoyang Literary Society" at this time, we will definitely have no trouble selling them!
Maybe we can even recreate the grand occasion of 'paper being sold out in Luoyang'!
Therefore, the day before the Peony Literary Festival began.
The prefect Zhao Heng met with the mysterious boss behind "Secrets in the Marketplace", an old lady with gray hair, energetic and capable temperament.
The two sides met in a private room of the teahouse.
Even though the person sitting opposite her was the prefect, the old lady of the host family was not afraid at all and said with a smile: "Prefect, are you sure that Jia Shao has real talent and knowledge?"
Zhao Heng said firmly: "I am sure of it."
The old lady of the Dong family rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard this.
You are so sure of that!
If you really have talent, you should be like my brother Xian, who became famous in an instant!
Why is there a need for 'marketing' or 'buying hot searches'?
But even though she was complaining in her heart, the old lady of the Dong family smiled on the surface and said, "If that's the case, then this matter is simple! It only costs two hundred taels of silver!"
"From tomorrow on, Jia Shao will move into the Peony Pavilion and cause public ridicule, prove himself at the Luoyang Literary Conference, write a masterpiece that will shock the world, and then become famous as a talented scholar. Everything will be arranged by us!"
"Even starting tonight, the printing house for my newspaper will be on standby day and night."
"As soon as the literary gathering starts tomorrow, we can make Jia Shao famous!"
"In order to make the reversal of the incident infinitely larger, first cause public ridicule, and then reverse it. My suggestion is that today, you find dozens of people to spread the news in the city, saying that Jia Shao's victory over He Xu was fabricated by him."
"Tomorrow morning, we will publish a report to criticize Jia Shao for seeking fame and reputation!"
"Let these scholars, filled with righteous indignation, take the court reports to the literary conference and confront Jia Shao on the spot."
"Then ask He Xu to come forward and slap Jia Shao in the face on the spot, to make it as dramatic as possible!"
"A two-stage reversal, Jia Shao, will definitely be a hit!"
After hearing this, the prefect Zhao Heng was stunned.
He stared blankly at the old lady from the boss's family, and thought in shock, she is worthy of being the boss of the official newspaper, she is so professional!
With this combination of punches, coupled with Jia Shao's talent, it would be hard not to become famous!
therefore.
Zhao Heng said excitedly: "Okay! Okay! In this way, I will give you three hundred taels! There is only one request. In the next month, Jia Shao's name must not only resound throughout Luocheng, but also spread throughout the world!"
The old lady of the Dong family said confidently: "No problem! We are professionals in this area!"
"By the way, please send me an invitation to the Luoyang Peony Literature Festival tomorrow. I will go there in person with the staff of the court newspaper to record the demeanor of Jia Shao."
"With us here, Jia Shao will definitely be famous!"
When saying this.
What the old lady was thinking was, I'm going to go and see tomorrow what level this 'marketing guru Jia Shao' is at!
This official newspaper of ours was specially published to make Brother Xian famous.
If Zhao Heng hadn't offered too much, and if I hadn't needed to practice with Jia Shao first so that I could pave the way for Xian Ge'er to become famous in the future, why would I be willing to take this job?
After hearing the old lady's bold words, Zhao Heng was deeply impressed.
This old lady is not only professional, but also has amazing courage and style.
You can tell at first glance that he's capable of great things!
