Sima Kang's tabloid was officially published early the next morning.

However, the first issue was very small, less than 3,000 copies, and most of them were delivered to the government offices and officials in Bianjing City.

Zhao Xu soon also obtained the "Bianjing Yibao" hosted by Sima Kang.

"Not bad!" After reading it, Zhao Xu put down the "Bianjing Yibao" in his hand and asked: "Will the scholar-bureaucrats like it very much?!"

"I heard it is like this..." Shi Deyi introduced from the side: "It is said that many literati and officials, after reading this newspaper, ordered their poems to be sent to Sima Kang's office, including the retouching fee.

No, I just want it to be published..."

Zhao Xu laughed after hearing this.

We, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty, should not look at each and every one of them as extremely arrogant.

However, if you ask them to write articles or help write epitaphs, careers, etc.

If it is not a close relative or friend, then a very high retouching fee will be charged.

Even in the past, before Xining.

Hanlin bachelors from the Academy of Sciences and Zhongshu Sheren from Zhongshu are required to pay writing fees when they write Dabaishu Ci/Zhushu.

of.

Generally speaking, Hanlin bachelor's writing requires two hundred guan of words, while Zhongshu Sheren's writing also ranges from 50 to 100 guan.

It was not until the Xining Reform that the practice of polishing the writing of Hanlin bachelors/Zhongshusheren was explicitly prohibited.

From here, you can know that in the past, it was not a hidden rule but an open rule for ministers to pay money to Hanlin scholars, and for ordinary ministers to pay money to scholars in Zhongshu.

Therefore, the writings of literati in the Song Dynasty were valuable.

The higher the status, the more expensive the writing.

Now that so many people are willing to contribute to Sima Kang's Bianjing Yibao, it seems that the popularity of the Bianjing Yibao will not decrease, at least in the short term.

At the very least, its influence among Shilin will be growing.

Tong Guan's Bianjing Newspaper will face challenges.

Zhao Xu is very sober on this matter.

The scholar-bureaucrats and literati may not be soberly aware of the threat that the Bianjing Newspaper poses to the public opinion they control.

But their instinct will make them take the initiative to unite.

Thereby squeezing out Bianjing New Newspaper, and finally driving Bianjing New Newspaper out of their circle!

Zhao Xu has seen too many similar things in modern times.

In that era when the Internet was developed, traditional literati would still form a circle of their own and brag about themselves.

Not to mention the Song Dynasty, an era when literati occupied an absolute dominant position.

"Tong Guan, how are the preparations going?" Zhao Xu asked.

Shi Deyi replied: "The servant boy naturally dare not neglect everyone's command. He has already hired the storyteller who is the best at talking about the Three Kingdoms among the major tiles..."

"Good!" Zhao Xu nodded: "Tell Tong Guan to start right away. Based on the Three Kingdoms, combined with folklore and the storyteller of Wazi, and with the story of the Three Kingdoms as the background, write a novel. You can write it in Bianjing Xin

A novel serialized in a newspaper!”

Novels have existed since ancient times.

As Ban Gu said: The flow of talkers is due to officials; the talk in the streets is the result of hearsay!

There is a long novel "Yu Chu Zhou Shuo" in the Western Han Dynasty, with more than 900 pieces circulating, but it is a pity that it has been lost now.

But the vitality of this genre is extremely strong.

There are representative works in all dynasties.

There is "Sou Shen Ji" in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, "Youyang Zazu" in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and "Taiping Guang Ji" in the Song Dynasty.

They are all enduring and widely circulated stories and legends.

"Three Kingdoms?" Shi Deyi didn't quite understand.

Zhao Xu explained: "It is to use historical methods to tell stories... mainly novels and legends, telling stories of loyalty, forgiveness, benevolence and justice!"

"So..." Zhao Xu looked at Shi De and said, "This story must be based on Liu's direction!"

Following Liu has become a trend among the people of the Song Dynasty.

When the storytellers in Wazi talked about the Three Kingdoms, they all respected Liu.

Every time it is said that Guan Yu was defeated and Emperor Zhaolie was left alone, Zhuge Liang's ambition was difficult to realize.

The storyteller becomes emotional, and the audience is also affected.

However, these stories are similar to modern jokes.

Every storyteller has his or her own jokes, and they usually only use one paragraph.

Naturally, Shi Deyi knew this very well. After hearing this, he lowered his head and said, "I understand!"

"Let me write a poem for these three countries!"

As Zhao Xu spoke, he dipped his pen in ink and started writing on the paper.

Shi Deyi stood nearby and watched the master write and write.

"The rolling water of the Yangtze River flows eastward..."

Just this sentence, the heroic spirit has already rushed to my face.

This surprised Shi Deyi.

Zhao Xu, however, finished it in one go, dictating his favorite poem in modern times.

Then, at the end of the poem, he solemnly wrote his signature: Yang Shen.

"What's the word for everyone?" Shi Deyi couldn't help but asked curiously.

"A poem I accidentally saw in the Da Nei Secret Treasures!" Zhao Xu naturally did not need to seize other people's names.

He is the emperor.

There is no need to rely on articles to become famous.

Even his poems and words are the same as those of later Qianlong.

Literati and officials can only flatter and praise.

Shi Deyi looked at this poem and praised: "This poem "Linjiang Immortal" is really majestic. The poet must be a reclusive poet!"

"Haha..." Zhao Xu smiled: "Poems and articles are just short stories!"

“Those who cannot cultivate themselves, govern the country, bring peace to the family, and bring peace to the world, no matter how good their poems and articles are, they are just mediocre!”

Shi De lowered his head for a moment. He knew that everyone was referring to Yan Jidao.

A typical example of someone who can't hold up a wall with mud.

Even after everyone found out that he played with the singers at his friend's house every day, they sighed and commented on this person: "I am the big-faced treasure of the Song Dynasty!"

Although I don’t know who Big Face Baby is?

But as soon as Shi De knew about it, from then on, no one mentioned his name again.

"Speaking of poetry, how was Su Shi's reputation as an official in Dengzhou?" Zhao Xu thought of Su Shi, a truly great literary giant who was regarded as the devil by countless students in modern times, so he asked.

"The soldiers are based on the legends of Dengzhou merchants and scholars who came to Beijing..." Shi Deyi replied: "Su Shi has done a lot of good things since he became an official in Dengzhou..."

"He also ordered the people of Dengzhou to build more fishing boats and go out to sea to fish..."

"In order to let the people of Dengzhou eat sea fish, he even cooked a lot of delicacies himself and gave them to the officials in the Dengzhou government office. He also posted the relevant recipes on the bulletin board of the government office..."

Zhao Xu was not surprised when he heard this.

That's what Su Shi was like.

He is a loudmouthed and outspoken person, and he is also a person who cares about the people.

He is also a big foodie!

so……

I'm afraid his stay in Dengzhou will leave a good story in the local area.

Maybe in a few hundred years, Dongpo fish will become as famous a dish as Dongpo meat.

Maybe, there will be another fight for the "former residence of Su Dongpo" in the future.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu asked: "Is Su Shi's current salary official Chaofeng Lang?"

Shi De nodded.

Zhao Xu said: "He has only been in office for a few months, so it is not easy to directly promote his salary officer... In this case, let's add a palace and pavilion review!"

As he said that, he continued to write, and then wrote a command to remove the award and handed it to Shi Deyi: "Send to Zhongshu and ask Zhongshu Sheren to write the words to remove the award!"

"only!"
