Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 66

[Chapter 66]

“Fifty people? Three hundred taels a month?”

After some introductions, Chen Luo learned that the other party was the head of the Zhongjing Academy, and immediately put forward his own ideas straightforwardly.

It’s a pity that Chen Luo didn’t learn the cruelty of capitalists, and still offered a monthly salary of 300 taels, which was a monthly payment of 15,000 taels.

No way, things always have to take the first step.

Wei Yan’s wink almost went up to the sky. The chiefs of the school obviously came here for a request, so how could they still benefit them? It’s a pity that Chen Luo didn’t see it at all.

Just as he was about to transmit the sound, he was cut off by a righteous energy. He turned his head, and it was the head of the female courtyard who squinted at him.

“Wan Anbo wants to start a new newspaper and serialize stories?” Kong Tianfang pinched his short beard and asked, “But are they all novels like “Du Shiniang”?”

“You also know “Du Shiniang”?” Chen Luo was taken aback for a moment, but he didn’t expect Nanyuanxi’s publicity effect to be good, then shook his head, “”Du Shiniang” is just a short story, and what I want to serialize is a long story, one with a million words. Seed!”

“Millions of characters? Are they all elegant?”

“Of course, otherwise, why would you need fifty Confucian scholars who ‘write a thousand words’?”

Several heads of the academy looked at each other, and they still remembered what Kong Tianfang said before—— —

“Writing about Zhong Kui and Du Shiniang, who knows what else he can write next?”

“That is the real treasure chest!” Well

, it didn’t take a few hours for this to come true.

Kong Tianfang pinched his beard again, and shook his head slightly: “Wan Anbo, this is not right!”

Chen Luo laughed: “Then… five hundred taels? If there is more, there is no point in cooperating with us.” !”

Kong Tianfang waved his hand: “What the old man means is, how can I ask you to give me money? It’s the luck of the students and the honor of my academy to be able to transcribe the masterpiece in the first time. Everyone, don’t you think so?

” nod.

“Exactly, how can we collect money from Wan Amber?”

“As for scholars, it’s commonplace to mention money!”

“Anyway, it’s copying, and students have to practice it on weekdays, and it doesn’t take much effort. !”

Chen Luo looked puzzled, and glanced at Wei Yan, who nodded slightly.

“But…you can’t let the students be busy for nothing.” Chen Luo still asked, he didn’t want to lose his reputation among Confucian scholars.

“No!” Kong Tianfang laughed, “The academy has its own credit system. I will pay the students in points, which is entirely voluntary. Wan Anbo can rest assured about this!”

“But!” Kong Tianfang suddenly raised his tone , “There is one thing that I think is wrong!”

Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world. The academy refused to ask for money, so it must be something of higher value.

Chen Luo sighed inwardly, and asked, “What is the request of the head of the Confucius Institute?”

“10,000 copies, too few! How can this be enough for our eight academies?” Kong Tianfang spoke uprightly.

Chen Luo: (#Д)

“That’s right!” The head of the women’s academy nodded and said, “My Red Sleeve Academy takes calligraphy as the foundation of the academy, and there are no fewer than four hundred female Confucian students who have entered the realm of ‘three points into wood’ calligraphy. Fifty in a row The number of places is not enough for my family to win.”

“Feimei Academy is justified. Although I, Mohai Academy, am not admitted to the Eighth Academy, I am quite accomplished in calligraphy, and the number of suitable Confucian scholars is no less than 500. Just fifty people, too few.”

“Exactly!”

“Wan Anbo, think again!”

“Second!”

“The old man also second!”

Chen Luo’s face twitched slightly, and he tentatively asked, “How about 20,000 copies?”

“Forty thousand!” Kong Tianfang waved his hand, “Wan Anbo doesn’t have to worry about personnel matters, just send the article. I Wait to arrange it immediately! This is just the beginning, if one day Wan Amber’s new newspaper can be compared to “Wen Bao”, I can eat it too!”

“However, I only have one request, and that is this matter. As for my eight academies, Wan Amber will not find anyone else!”

Chen Luo nodded blankly, this is the most troublesome thing, is this the solution?   At this time, Kong Tianfang

suddenly changed his mind, and smiled: “Wan Anbo, I would like to ask, is there any clue to the story that was serialized in the first article of the New Paper?”

question, immediately pricked up his ears, and looked at Chen Luo.

Chen Luo nodded naturally, “Swordsman”, Xiao Ji almost knew it by heart!

“Do you have a sample?” Kong Tianfang asked excitedly when Chen Luo nodded.

“Yes…” Chen Luo continued to nod, and then shouted, “Xiao Ji!”

Hearing this, Ji Zhong walked in from the outside and saluted the leaders of the various Confucian schools.

“Give me the manuscript!” Chen Luo stretched out his hand, and Ji Zhong immediately took out a stack of papers from his pocket and handed it to Chen Luo. This is the first chapter of “Swordsman” specially written by Chen Luo before going out. The manuscript written before is still in the Chen Mansion in Wan’an County.

Chen Luo took the manuscript and handed it to Kong Tianfang: “The head of the Confucius Institute, please be upright!

” Tian Fang had a different expression, and surrounded him one after another

…

“Political Minister, I have found out what happened in the morning.”

In the main hall, Zhou Zuofeng, the political minister of Daxuan, was checking the news from various newspapers. Slowly closing the memorial in his hand, leaning on the back of the chair, slightly closing his eyes.

“speak!”

“Yes!” The official who reported said hastily: “In the morning, Mr. Wen from Beifeng Tower woke up and said that Mr. Nan Yuanxi said a strange article called “Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger”. Master Wang Qifeng and all the disciples were present.”

“After this article was finished, a student made a breakthrough on the spot. Wang Qifeng immediately brought Nanyuan Xi back to Zheliu Academy. Zheliu Academy summoned all Confucian students to be promoted to the Confucianism forum. Say it again.”

“After Nanyuan Xi finished speaking, the literary rhyme of Shengwen Square was aroused

. Therefore, the Zheliu Academy area is full of righteousness.”

Zhou Zuofeng nodded lightly: “Who is this Nanyuan Xi? He wrote the strange article?”

“Returning to the Prime Minister, Nanyuan Xi is just speaking for this article. The author of this article is…” said At this point, hesitation appeared on the other party’s face, after all, he had also heard about today’s court affairs. Although it was the Ministry of Rites who attacked, the Ministry of Rites was a subordinate of the main hall.

“Say!”

“Yes, the newly promoted Wan Anbo, Chen Luo!”

Zhou Zuofeng opened his eyes slightly: “Chen Luo? The pioneer of the fourth road to the sky, it really hits the wind and rain!”

“By the way, Prime Minister, student There is another piece of news, I don’t know if it is accurate?”

“Tell me.”

“I heard that Chen Luo wants to start a new newspaper, and the new newspaper is not a street newspaper, but has elegant articles.”

Zhou Zuofeng’s face became serious when he heard the words : “Go and find out!”

“Yes!” The other party responded quickly, turned and left.

Zhou Zuofeng was looking at a table of memorials at this moment, and he had no interest in opening them. He turned his head to look at the map of the world hanging on the side wall of the main hall.

On the top of the map, there are millions of miles of barbaric plains, and there are countless monster mountains and forests below. To the west, beyond the vast desert, is a western buddhist land that has not yet explored the border, while to the east is a stardust sea full of islands.

As for Daxuan, in the middle of the map, the thirteen prefectures are separated on it, occupying the largest position on the map.

“The fourth road to the sky, I don’t know if it is a blessing or a curse…”
