Two days later, gongs and drums were going loudly and firecrackers were blasting outside Chongwen Gate, and a store called Sanxin Company opened. There was nothing extra in the store, just a pitiful volume of thin books and strange little sticks.

The waiter at the door was shouting hard: "Don't miss it if you pass by. You can't buy it and suffer losses. You can't buy it and be fooled. The fresh and hot "Journey to the West" and the Monkeys Making Trouble in Heaven are the only ones in the world!"

This fresh hawking sound attracted many people to watch, and some people looked at the books stacked on the table. Although it was a thin book, it was made of exquisite pictures and high-quality paper. On the cover, there was a grinning monkey wearing a battle armor and holding a big stick.

, the four characters "Yunxiao Palace" on the palace palace hidden in the clouds are vigorous and powerful.

"Sir, this book is the only one in the world. It tells the story of a monkey causing havoc in the fairy world. What do you think? Get a copy?"

"Well, let me take a look first."

"Hey, sir, what are we selling after you've finished reading? But don't be happy, this is just the beginning, the hardcover version inside has the whole story!"

This scene went back and forth several times, and Sanxin Company sold a lot of hardcover editions.

One day later, the Sanxin Company's shop was surrounded by crowds, and all the books were sold out within an hour. In the afternoon, a sign reading "Journey to the West" was hung up in the wine shop and teahouse in the capital. The storyteller, holding a folding fan, talked about a monkey traveling across the ocean.

The story of crossing the sea to seek immortality and apprenticeship, snatching treasures, and entering the underworld!

Three days later, the city was full of monkeys! Even the hardcover editions printed several times by Sanxin Company could not withstand the swarming crowds. But on some secluded streets, there were already vaguely printed pirated copies of "Journey to the West"!

Where is the Sanxin Company? Uncle Zhou Jiaguo and Uncle Zhang Jiaguo are both the masters of horse racing, how can they suffer such a loss? The two families gathered their servants and rushed to the streets of the capital where piracy appeared, and caught the little boy selling them and gave them a meal.

It’s a good fight! The boy can’t hold on any longer, and the Yin Fang behind the scenes is about to come out.

"Marquis Shouning, I'm going to copy the three houses in the west of Beijing." Zhou Shou discussed with Zhang Heling with a ferocious expression.

"That's easy to say! I'll take care of Marquis Qingyun and Jingdong. Damn it, how dare you steal food from me without even asking who runs the company!"

The two acted separately and set off a bloody storm in the capital!

Today is the Great Court Meeting, and Hongzhi is sitting in the Jinluan Hall. He is in a good mood. The "Journey to the West" written by his son is not only fascinating, but also allows him to see Hua Houwei's thoughts, and a big stone finally falls in his heart. Monkey Sun has great supernatural powers.

Isn't this a reflection of Wei'er's violent temperament? When he was alive, he naturally didn't worry about it. Wei'er still had filial piety. But once he went west, Hou Zhao would definitely not be able to deal with Wei'er! When the time comes, brothers will fight each other.

If the Battle of Jingnan comes again, how will future generations comment on me?

But Hua Houwei let Sun Houzhao be crushed by the Five Elements Mountain and asked Tang Monk to rescue him. Doesn't it mean that Zhu Houzhao is Tang Monk, and Hua Houwei is like Sun Houwei, protecting Zhu Houzhao and letting the glory of the Ming Dynasty shine everywhere?

Hongzhi, who was in the midst of his lustful thoughts, was interrupted by a voice and couldn't help but raise his head. The Sixth Section wrote to Pang Pan in the incident: "Your Majesty, the Wucheng Military and Horse Division received a report that Qingyun Hou Zhou Shou and Shouning Hou Zhang Heling destroyed it.

Five seal shops, killing and wounding more than ten people in total!"

Hongzhi frowned and looked at Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing said in a low voice: "These five printing houses have their own methods of death. They pirated "Journey to the West" privately. No wonder Uncle Guo is angry."

Hongzhi nodded and felt relieved. He was just worried that Uncle Guo was bullying others and being lawless. Since he was justified, killing a few people was nothing. So he looked at Pang Pan and said, "Pang Pan, why did Uncle Guo destroy the sealing workshop?"

Pang Pan pondered for a moment and then responded: "Your Majesty, it was the printing house that printed "Journey to the West". But even so, if the law does not prohibit it, it means permission. My uncle's move is too much."

Hongzhi shook his head: "That's wrong! There is a reason for this. Although Uncle Guo is a bit excessive, it is excusable. "Journey to the West" was originally written by my son to make the Queen Mother smile, and later entrusted Uncle Guo to print and sell it. These companies

The Yin Fang can be considered as reaping the consequences, so it can only pay some funeral expenses."

"Your Majesty! My uncle is also a relative of the emperor, so he cannot compete with the people for profit!"

Hongzhi immediately became angry! The one on the left was not allowed to compete with the people, while the one on the right asked for orders from the people. Wei'er was right, the common people in the eyes of these scholars were themselves! Huh! Maybe those in the hall were the ones behind those seal shops.

You gentlemen with blooming mouths and magnanimous minds! But you can't be angry, otherwise you will give these shameless scholars a chance to deceive the imperial staff! What should we do? Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian and asked for help: "Mr. Liu Ge, look at this

How should things be?”

Liu Jian left the class and saluted: "Your Majesty, I think what Pang Pan said has some truth. If the law does not prohibit it, it means it is allowed. Although piracy is very shameful, it does not violate the national law after all. What I did is excusable.

, but it’s a bit more intense. In my opinion, Your Majesty’s method is better, just let the uncle pay some funeral expenses. As for "Journey to the West", it is better not to pursue the matter of pirated printing!"

Hongzhi was not very satisfied, but what Liu Jian said made sense and he couldn't force himself.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Zhu Houwei requests to come to court!"

Hongzhi's heart moved, and he remembered Hua Hou Wei's heroic appearance in the Wenhua Hall that day. Forget it, let Wei'er disturb the situation. If it doesn't work, that's all.

"Well, let him go to the palace."

Hua Houwei held Wang Zhi's hand and strolled up to Fengtian Hall. "Dad, I heard that someone stole my book and was caught by my uncle. But my uncle is guilty?"

Pang Pan turned his eyes and smiled at Hua Houwei: "Your Highness, there is no provision in the national law that it is guilty of stealing prints. On the contrary, there are rules for hurting people and killing people."

Hua Houwei also responded with a smile: "Oh? Isn't that right, sir? Let me ask you, stealing chickens and stealing silver are both stealing, stealing poems is also stealing, so... is it a crime to steal test questions?"

Pang Pan frowned: "Your Highness, we cannot talk the same thing."

"Why not? It's all thought up by people! Since stealing test questions is a felony, why is piracy not a felony? What's more, "Journey to the West" already has economic value at this moment. Do you know that these five printing houses have made a total profit

How much? Isn’t this profit the result of theft?”

Xie Qian shook his head. He had seen Hua Houwei's sharp words before, and Pang Pan was no match for him. But what His Highness said made sense. Why is stealing a seal not considered stealing?

Pang Pan's eyes rolled around, and sweat oozed from his forehead. "Your Highness, there is no provision for pirated printing in the Ming Dynasty Law."

"But there are thieves! Sir, you are trying so hard to defend these shameless thieves. Could it be that you have something to do with them?"

"Your Highness! Don't talk nonsense! I, Pang Pan, am open-minded and only serve the country and the people. Your Highness, don't compete with the people for profit!"
