Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid: Bodhi Casts a Mirror Heart

chapter 16
After the empress took charge, she enthusiastically responded to the emperor's call, intending to educate the lawless women of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and issued an order from the House of Internal Affairs to order the Jun family to print more "Biography of Lie Nu", "Nv Commandments", "Women's Rules" and so on. , as a gift to various schools and prefectures for the study of all the female relatives.I thought that since the officials and women could not go out, there must be people reading in the mansion. Why not develop the publishing industry?At the moment, they quietly bought several printing shops, and together with Qi Fang and Xiao Yu, they researched pottery movable type printing to improve traditional block printing. , Opening the door of convenience, I slowly led the dark people to collect all kinds of anecdotes, wild anecdotes, manuscripts of strange things, and compile them into stories of various genres.For this reason, I stayed up for several nights and tried my best to make up the stories of "Journey to the West" and "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" in my previous life.Alas, I do miss steak belts those days.

At the same time, I raised a group of talented long-term contracted writers or cartoonists at a high price, and edited and published a large number of fascinating stories through them.Fearing that some people would be illiterate, many of them were put on the market in the form of comic strips. Of course, each novel or pictorial must have some warning mottos on the last page, exhorting the world to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, not to form cliques, not to break the law and commit crimes, and to do more righteous deeds and so on.

In short, my new business has gradually gained long-term customers: those who love to read petty bourgeoisie are mostly ladies who have nowhere to go, and ordinary people are most keen on martial arts loyalty, ghosts and strange tales in the form of comic strips, or the so-called The history of love and obsession (books of obscenity between men and women), some picture books of stories began to circulate even in the palace.The Queen liked the slang novels of "Three Words, Two Moments".Jinxiu secretly spread the word that Feiliu's attendants were not allowed to let him read "Journey to the West", and Pleasant Goat was not allowed to read it, only the "Four Books and Five Classics".Feiliu, not to mention the resilience of an emperor, told the emperor that he wanted to shake hands with Chongyang to make peace, and the emperor was of course very happy. Then he said that he would give Chongyang a copy of "Journey to the West" and asked the emperor to find it for him.The emperor found it. The dark people in Chongyang did not have movable type molds to print, but the little guy is amazing. There are a few strangers under his command who can draw another copy overnight, and it is exactly the same, so he successfully got a copy. Pirated version of Journey to the West.

And Qingmei reported to me that even Emperor Taizu liked to read for a while before going to bed.I admire Emperor Taizu for this point. It is said that he likes to read the picture book "Biography of the Green Monster" (Shrek comic strip) and the gold suit "Dream of Red Mansions" together, and read one chapter of "Biography of the Green Monster" and then read another chapter. Chapter "Dream of Red Mansions", and then read a chapter "Biography of the Green Monster", and then read "Dream of Red Mansions", often laughing and sighing for a while.

After all, the emperor is the emperor. This way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people. If I want to, I can’t read the absurd, ghost, hilarious novels and solemn red studies at the same time.
