One copper coin could only buy one vegetable bun in Xiang Province. Commoners would hesitate to buy two steamed buns before they bought the bun.
But now, Xusheng and Fang Yun's letter of challenge and Dong Wencong's instruction in the county-level examination were only sold for one copper coin. Even the poor children who spent no more than three copper coins on food did not hesitate.
In Xiangzhou today, the news of people buying Min Pao spread faster than the plague.
Not only scholars, but even ordinary people without children, when they learned that Fang Yun had issued a letter of challenge to Gyeongo, they also took one copper coin and ran to the nearest academy.
Many strange things happened in various places. The beggars stopped begging, the courtesans stopped singing, and the students stopped attending classes. Everyone fought to be the first to buy Min Pao.
Booksellers originally sold books and newspapers, but today the various academies and bookstores prohibited one person from buying more than one copy of Min Pao. Booksellers could only give up on selling books and line up obediently just to buy one copy of Min Pao. They did not sell, but kept it for themselves.
Only a hundred thousand copies of Xiangzhou's Magistrate's Bulletin were printed, and it caused people all over Xiangzhou to fight over them. Min Pao was on sale from morning until noon, but there were still people lining up.
The printing workshops in Baling City went all out to print. At first, the bookstores had six people selling, then twenty, and finally fifty people selling Min Pao.
Fortunately, the officials had anticipated this situation before the sale began. Since last night, the workshops had been printing Min Pao, which allowed people to continue to sell. But when it was close to noon, it was still out of stock. They had to print batch after batch.
The people of Xiangzhou, from old to young, from men to women, all seemed to have gone crazy. They wanted to buy Min Pao no matter what. Even those who were sober were prepared to buy it later, not at all.
Some families did not need to buy it at all. Their children were only two or three years old, but their neighbors and relatives urged them to buy it. What if Fang Xusheng's instruction in the imperial examination was on Min Pao? In the end, no one resisted the temptation of Fang Yun's teaching and went straight to the local academy.
Some people did not live in the city, after buying the 'Min Pao', because they were unable to buy more copies, nor could they hire a carriage, they ran back to the village, and then led the entire village to the county.
At noon, the sales figures for half a day were tabulated. By noon, more than 32 million copies of Min Pao had been sold in all of Xiang Province. There were only 130 million people in all of Xiang Province.
Some of the smaller cities had fewer people, so the local officials thought that it would be good enough to sell fifty to sixty thousand sets. But who would have thought that when the residents of the city were almost done buying, people from the surrounding villages and towns would line up to kill them?
When Min Bao was put on sale, Dong Wencong obeyed Fang Yun's order and published the full contents of Min Bao on the discussion board, which triggered a strong discussion among the scholars all over the world.
Under the article of "People's Daily", the number of discussions and replies exceeded 200 million in half a day, which became the most popular article in recent years. Because the discussion ranking could influence the literary ranking, according to the settings of the two rankings, the first place of the Jinshi Ranking, the Hanlin Ranking, the Great Scholar Ranking, and the Great Scholar Ranking were all published by Dong Wencong, "The First Private Newspaper of the Human Clan," People's Daily ".
Scholars from all over the world discussed Min Pao too passionately, and in the end, many people had to republish articles to discuss a specific issue. Some discussed Fang Yun's challenge letter, some discussed the Song Dynasty characters used in printing, some discussed the sales of Min Pao, and some discussed Dong Wencong's instruction in the imperial examination …
Very soon, Min Pao's influence spread to the entire human race. Some scholars thought that Min Pao was also sold locally, so they gathered at the entrance of the local academy. In the end, it was not sold, but the scholars were not willing to leave, so they began to discuss Min Pao.
Many people could not see the 'discussion board', so some scholars simply copied the content of Min Pao and left it at the entrance of the academy for other scholars to read and copy.
Therefore, even more exaggerated news than 'Paper in Luoyang is expensive' spread across the entire Saint Origin World.
Aside from Xiangzhou, the brushes, ink, papers, and inkstones near the Academy of Literature in the city were all bought up by the scholars who had rushed over. Many scholars rushed to the Academy of Literature to copy the contents of the Min Bao. Some copied everything, some copied only those related to the imperial examinations, and some copied only Fang Yun's challenge letter.
The officials tried to stop them several times, but they were resisted by many scholars. Some parents who were going to take the imperial examination next year even scolded the local officials, making the officials helpless. In the end, the local officials had no choice but to read the content of Min Pao slowly and let the scholars in the city record it.
In the tens of thousands of cities, more than 30% of the cities had officials reading Min Pao aloud, so the historians and scholars had to take up their pens to record this unprecedented scene.
Lu Huaijiang, the first of the Four Great Scholars of the previous generation, who had just become a Great Scholar, said something on the discussion board.
"Fang Xusheng has once again opened the door to a new era, connecting to a new world."
Most of the scholars took it as an ordinary compliment, but a few of them understood the meaning behind it. Lu Huaijiang was obviously saying that Min Pao was broadening the Divine Path of the human race, and could even create a new Divine Path and give birth to a new Half-saint.
Because the Notre-Dame only set Xiangzhou as the experimental area for Min Pao, this unique newspaper could not be bought anywhere else in the Saint Origin World.
The official seals of the officials and scholars in Xiangzhou were stuffed with letters from all over the human race. The scholars from all over the world asked the scholars in Xiangzhou to buy a copy of the first issue of Min Pao for them as a souvenir. Even if they had never met each other before, they could find out the relationship between them in a roundabout way. Some people even brought out the friendship of their grandfathers.
Before noon, the yamen in Kong City was blocked by thousands of scholars.
Unlike other places, Kong City was very open. Almost every household was a scholar, and the scholars in Kong City were very active. They considered themselves to be the center of the human race.
Back then, when Fang Yun reformed the city in Ning An County, many people in Kong City realized that it was a good idea. Thus, Kong City quickly became the second city where carriages and horses had to travel according to the rules, the second city to have pedestrian crossings, and the second city to reward the workers more …
Now, thousands of scholars were gathered in front of the yamen in Kong City, protesting.
"We want Min Pao!"
"Kong City doesn't have Min Pao. How can the descendants of Kong Saint talk about serving the people?"
"If Kong City doesn't have Min Pao, then it has no people!"
"If Kong City doesn't have Min Pao, then we'll sit in front of the Confucius Academy!"
"Don't use the Notre-Dame as an excuse. If the officials in Kong City were united and asked the Notre-Dame to lift the ban, would the Notre-Dame not agree?"
The prefect of Kong City felt a headache coming on. He had no choice but to appease the scholars in person. Then, he led people to the Kong Family and asked them about their intentions.
The elders of the Kong Family on duty held a meeting and had a disagreement.
Some people thought that since Min Pao was first created by Fang Yun, it wouldn't hurt to popularize it in Kong City. However, some people thought that Min Pao would have to go through Kong City's review if it was to be published in Kong City. Some people thought that Min Pao had great potential and was a sharp weapon to control the human race. It had to be in the hands of the Kong Family. Otherwise, if someone slandered the Kong Family through similar publications, even if the Kong Family had done little wrong, they would be smeared by the publications. Those who didn't know how to think would mistakenly think that the Kong Family was a good-for-nothing.
