Chapter 222 Folk Stories

The journey was very peaceful and quiet, but more bustling.

Kyoto is much more lively than other places.

To put it bluntly, just one street in Kyoto is comparable to a city elsewhere.

This is not the time to talk about a commercial city. After all, such a situation is only for future generations.

At a time when dynastic power is absolutely concentrated, ordinary counties may not care.

But the capital of a royal court will definitely be the most prosperous and the most prestigious place in the entire dynasty.

Don't say anything else.

The various snacks and gadgets in Tiandu can almost be said to cover the entire world.

I don’t know which genius searched the entire dynasty and passed all the production skills to Kyoto.

After all, in an ordinary dynasty in Kyoto, it would be fine if there were snacks from all over the world. In a dynasty like this with hundreds of millions of miles of land, that is basically impossible.

After all, this journey alone takes an ordinary person several lifetimes, or even countless generations of descendants and grandchildren, to reach.

Of course.

While on the road, I occasionally heard a few interesting legends.

Kyoto is quite trendy.

In all parts of Kyoto, there are actually people who have built institutions similar to publishing houses or newspapers.

Every ten days, there will always be a variety of newspapers sold from these books and periodicals.

Even in order to make a profit, these bosses specially found some talents to write stories in them, and some of them have developed into serialized novels.

One of the stories is quite interesting.

That is to say, there is a newspaper agency called Tendo Library in Kyoto. It is legendary that there is a person who writes serial novels in such a newspaper agency.

There are new novels by him every ten days.

Moreover, this novel is very interesting. It can be said that it is a novel that many literati and scholars all over the world come to have fun with.

If it were to be placed in other dynasties, it would be a banned book.

But it's different here.

All kinds of arts are completely like a hundred flowers blooming.

As long as you don't violate the bottom line in the dynasty, you won't be stopped by others for basically anything you do.

You can play with things in a small circle, but just do it within the small circle and don't affect others.

This is the bottom line in the dynasty!

But obviously, for men, only sexy things attract them.

The old batch is the primary productive force.

The various descriptions in it are not only very fragrant, but the literary content is also very high.

To say that he is vulgar, there is indeed an elegant part in it, which even makes many great scholars marvel.

You have to say that he is really elegant, and he describes some of the more fancy bed routines very realistically.

Anyway, it was a mixed success for a while.

Of course, whether those who denigrate him or those who praise him must have secretly studied his books.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to speak clearly and coherently.

Everything else is fictitious. The number of newspapers printed in each ten-day period is the real data.

In the past, this library was almost falling apart, but since the serialization of this novel, it has become the largest library in Tiandu.

It is said that there are even thousands of branch libraries, which is completely full and makes a lot of money.

When it comes to making money, it must involve the characteristics of the feudal unified dynasty.

You have made money, and even if the court won't help you, you have to take the initiative to hand over a little bit, so you can give a little bit a certificate of honor.

Otherwise, you don't need big shots to take action at all, just find a few government officials to prevent your library from opening.

Money can never be worth power.

This is also the reason why many people like to be officials, take exams for scholars, and take exams for candidates.

As long as you become an official, even if you don't go out of your way to make money, others will honestly provide you with money.

Having money doesn't necessarily mean you have power.

But if you have the right, you will never be short of money!

Hey, this is the strange place.

Logically speaking, the profits generated by such a large industry and such a large library industry are absolutely astonishing.

But no one decided.

In other words, someone may have had an idea, but it has been solved secretly.

This is remarkable.

What this person likes most is gossiping.

What men like most is talking about women.

When gossip and women are combined, it is almost the largest public opinion.

Many people are also talking about the boss behind this library.

Similarly, they are also curious about who is the great genius who can write such a wonderful book, which is simply a divine book of enlightenment.

Even many promiscuous women in Fireworks and Willow Alley respect him as their ancestor and study with this book every day.

Ever since, this outrageous book has become a representative of Kyoto's Zhongya.

It's like whoever doesn't read this book is a local leopard from the countryside.

Because of such gossip, many smart people and people from all walks of life began to pay attention to their surroundings.

After all, once they discover the author of this book, they will have bragging rights.

This is a sacred book that is popular in Kyoto.

With such huge influence, whoever finds the author of this book first will be at the forefront.

The benefits generated will definitely make people feel comfortable eating and drinking.

As a result, after three years and three years, I don’t know how long it took, no one discovered the last author of this book.

And this book is still being updated at the rate of one chapter every ten days.

However, even in strict logic, there will always be some loopholes. After all, a wise man will make mistakes after all his considerations.

Some thoughtful people have discovered that the author of this book will stop updating every time there is a great court meeting in Tiandu every year.

As a result, some people speculated that the author of this book would be an official in the court.

After just guessing, they actually found one!

That was Lin Zhongshu, the left prime minister of the dynasty.

Because after all the calculations, the only one in the entire court who has such time, such power, and enough literary talent is this one!

But no one dared to ask for confirmation.

Just kidding, but the left prime minister of the dynasty is a person who is inferior to ten thousand people.

Moreover, he was still a Confucian Wenzong, the leader of a certain cultural lineage. Even if he had any guesses, no one would dare to ask.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

If the lid is really lifted, and if it is really that person, then it is impossible to say that there will really be a big dispute.

Literary men kill without a knife.

What's more, this one is also a Confucian leader.

Of course, no one above the court would dare to interfere with all these.

Without the help of people above the court, other people outside the court can only follow the bookboys in the library.

In the end, it had to be settled.

So much so that this incident became gossip for the left prime minister, and it spread among the people very quickly.

For a time, it really provided the left prime minister with a lot of popularity.

At one of the food stalls, Wei Yi also had some drinks on his table.

But at this moment, he didn't touch the food and wine on the table. Instead, he held a book and marveled:

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk...incredible, really amazing."
