Chapter 237: Newspaper Sales
“Buy, buy, buy, let’s buy!!”
Just seeing the first point has attracted them, and they will die of curiosity if they don’t buy it.
"Fifty cents a copy."
The child happily told them the price. They paused before taking out the money. "Fifty cents?"
They thought they had heard it wrong and even asked the question again, but the final result was the same.
"Why is it so expensive?"
Some people were a little hesitant, but some people thought that fifty cents was nothing, so they paid the money happily and read the newspaper on the side.
They glanced at it from the side, and the person who bought it didn't pay much attention to it. He was actually fascinated by what was written on it.
But that person wanted to sit and watch it slowly, so he left. They stopped watching halfway through. It was simply too tempting, so in the end they gritted their teeth and bought it.
The children happily collected money and gave them newspapers. Soon the few newspapers they had were gone. Some people wanted to buy them but couldn't.
I regret it so much and blame myself for being so hesitant. Now I don’t have it anymore.
Xia Qingqing and the others waited in front of the yard for a long time, but the people inside continued to write. She didn't believe that no one read the newspapers.
“I’m back, I’m back!!”
Xia Yu said hurriedly when he saw someone coming, looking at several children with empty hands, and asked after the children came closer.
"Where are your newspapers?"
"Of course we sold it, otherwise we would definitely bring it back."
One of the children looked at Xia Yu as if he was a fool, but Xia Yu didn't care. She was very happy to see that all the newspapers were sold out.
"So what's their reaction? Do they like reading this newspaper?"
Xia Yi asked from the side, the child said excitedly.
"They like it very much. Many people were a little hesitant at first, but regretted not buying it later."
What the child said was true. They looked at each other. This meant that they were successful, right?
Xia Qingqing came out and saw them chattering around the children. She noticed with her sharp eyes that the children no longer had newspapers in their hands. Xia Qingqing said calmly.
“All the newspapers have been sold.”
Xia Yu turned around and asked blankly, "Sister, how did you know?"
Xia Qingqing rolled her eyes at Xia Yu, pointed at the empty bags in their hands and said.
"Look, they don't have any left. It's impossible that they took it away by themselves. So they must have sold it. Is there any need to explain it?"
It should be said that although Xia Yu is very smart when doing business, sometimes he is like a rusty part and can't get it working.
Xia Yu touched his nose guiltily. Wasn't he asking to feel at ease? Otherwise, who would know where he had gone?
When the children saw Xia Qingqing, they took out the silver from their pockets and said.
"Sister, this is the money I just got from selling the newspaper. I'm giving it to you."
Xia Qingqing took the silver and gave them fifteen cents each. Then they left happily and said to Xia Qingqing before leaving.
"If you need work like this again in the future, you can let us do it!"
Xia Qingqing smiled and patted their heads, saying, "Okay, I got it. You should go home quickly. It's getting late now."
The children ran away happily and went back to the yard. They had sold so many newspapers today and they had to prepare well for the next few days.
For several days in a row, everyone in the county had a newspaper in their hands. Everyone had read the interview with Xia Xuan in it, and they all had different feelings towards this emperor.
The news that there was a newspaper in Zhiyu County had spread everywhere, and even people in the capital had bought the newspapers.
"What is this? I don't think I've seen it before."
"You don't know this, right? This is called a newspaper, and it records important events. For example, what is said here is what the emperor said."
Someone with the newspaper showed it to him and was deeply shocked by the words written on it.
"Where did you buy this? Why can't I see it for sale in Beijing?"
"Right now, they are only available around Zhiyu County. They haven't come to the capital yet, but I think they will be here soon."
"I didn't expect that the emperor would be so kind. We must have wronged him before.
"That's right. If I hadn't seen this, I would have always thought that the emperor was a violent person. But I didn't expect that all he did was for us. It's so touching."
"Who said it wasn't true? This newspaper should publicize it more. Otherwise, our emperor will be too pitiful. How can he bear to be wronged like this?"
The newspaper finally arrived in the capital seven days later. After a frenzy of buying, when people saw the emperor's introduction on it, they were so moved that they cried. It turned out that such an emperor who loved the country and the people had misunderstood him for so long.
The Yu family was furious when they saw this newspaper, but now they didn't dare to do anything rash.
A few days ago, he received a letter from Xia Xuan. It turned out that he knew all the things Xia Xuan had done before, but he didn't touch him because he just didn't want to touch him.
Give him a chance. If he assists Xia Xuan seriously, you can pretend not to see this matter. But if he continues to turn a deaf ear to his words, don't blame him for being rude.
He was completely unable to think of anything else now, because Xia Xuan had destroyed everything he had deployed.
This was something he had carefully planned for more than ten years, and he destroyed it just like that. It was so infuriating, but he couldn't even complain.
If he had any intention of rebelling, he would not be able to serve as prime minister. Now they were even more afraid to take any action.
In addition, now the Yu family is no longer feared by as many people as before. Everyone knows that he is just this identity, and the emperor has slowly begun to sideline him.
The time has come for Xia Zhao's coronation ceremony, and some neighboring countries have come to congratulate him. In recent years, the neighboring countries have followed the regulations on foreign trade and have conducted trade in a very friendly manner.
No one broke the rules, and now that Longxia was so powerful, no one was brave enough to challenge them.
In addition, Wusu State seems to have a very good relationship with Longxia State, so if you provoke Longxia State, it would be equivalent to provoking Wusu State. This is a very violent country. Who dares to provoke it?
Even if they were given the courage, they wouldn't dare to do this, right?
The coronation ceremony lasted for a whole day, and the whole world celebrated. Although Xia Qingqing and the others were not present, they still brought gifts. Xia Zhao looked at the gifts they sent, which were all carefully selected by themselves. Xia Zhao smiled helplessly, but felt very warm in his heart.
After he officially became the emperor, he realized how difficult it was to put all these away.
