Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 208 Competition between two literary masters!

They were very efficient today, and Qin Ming had arranged everything before midnight.

They brought their things to the workshop, where Cao Chuan and Fang Qingyuan were already waiting.

Cao Chuan walked forward curiously and said to Qin Ming:

"Your Highness, let me see what you wrote in the newspaper."

"Well, you two definitely need to watch it."

Qin Ming handed a stack of articles to the two of them.

"Fuck!!"

The first article Cao Chuan read was an ethical story written by Song Dingsheng.

This is a fantastic development with twists and turns in the plot.

Although it is only a few hundred words, it has already made people imagine a lot and feel hot and uncomfortable!

Huff, huff...

Cao Chuan's face turned red when he saw this.

"Your Highness, who wrote this?"

"This, I can't say..."

Qin Ming thought of Song Dingsheng's reserved and reserved look and decided to help him keep the secret.

This guy says he won’t write, but once he starts writing, he writes better than anyone else!

It is no exaggeration to say that this story is definitely the first one Qin Ming has seen in the newspaper articles today!

It is foreseeable that if this morning paper is sent out today.

Song Dingsheng's article will definitely make the people in counties across the country more busy at night.

It is possible that several beds will be crushed.

This can be considered as indirectly increasing the fertility rate... I have really created countless good relationships.

Qin Ming thought about it while looking at Fang Qingyuan.

But I found that Fang Qingyuan was a little too calm.

He was a scholar and had once been the top scorer in the imperial examination.

I just glanced at it a few times and finished reading all these things.

But he was not like Cao Chuan, who was very excited after watching it.

He started to typeset the text directly.

Then find a mold for movable type printing and ask someone to print these things on sheets of paper.

While doing this, he also analyzed:

"The combination of these articles and the various categories are very novel and can cater to many people who like this kind of thing. If they can be delivered to the major cities and subordinate counties, they will definitely be popular."

Looking at his serious expression, Cao Chuan blushed and was a little surprised.

"Lao Fang, don't you feel itchy when you see these?"

Qin Ming was equally curious.

Fang Qingyuan did not hide it at all, but said seriously:

"A little."

As he spoke, he took out his daily schedule.

He is a very serious person.

I have a careful plan for everything I do every day to ensure that I don’t waste time.

After crossing out half an hour of tea drinking.

Under the puzzled gazes of Qin Ming and Cao Chuan, Fang Qingyuan walked in front of Qin Ming.

"Your Highness, may I write?"

The corners of Qin Ming and Cao Chuan's mouths twitched slightly.

Qin Ming asked him:

"When you said you were itching, did you mean you wanted to write about these things too?"

"if not?"

Fang Qingyuan read Song Dingsheng's story about sister-in-law and brother-in-law carefully.

A rare flicker of desire to win appeared on his face.

"I think this article is pretty good, but if I were to write it, I might be better than him."

"Yes, yes...then write it."

Qin Ming rolled his eyes. Today he had witnessed the meaning of the phrase "literati look down on each other".

Soon, before dawn, Qin Ming's three thousand newspapers were delivered from the workshop.

Because they had just started, they didn't do much this round.

We still need to wait and see the results and make adjustments in time.

"Let's find a place to sleep and wait for someone to come back at noon to ask about the results."

Qin Ming gave the two of them an instruction.

So he found a room in the workshop and slept in it.

Soon, at lunchtime, Qin Ming opened his eyes drowsily.

Fang Qingyuan and Cao Chuan had already prepared a meal for him.

"How about it?"

"Not bad, they're all sold out. I'll make 5,000 copies tonight."

Fang Qingyuan said lightly.

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Ming.

This is a backdoor way to get Qin Ming to add his article to the evening paper.

Their 3,000 copies of the morning paper were distributed to dozens of county towns, with each county town having only about a hundred copies of the newspaper, which was not enough to sell.

It would be good to increase the sales quantity.

"That's fine."

Qin Ming opened Fang Qingyuan's article and was stunned after just reading it twice.

Wow, Fang Qingyuan also found a new way!

He actually wrote a story about the love, hate and vengeance between a scholar and a fox demon. The choice of words and sentences in it makes people think a lot.

The key point is that it doesn’t have the same ethical drama feel as Song Dingsheng’s story about father-in-law and daughter-in-law.

This kind of love between a fox demon and a scholar, on the contrary, gives people a sense of yearning for sophistication!

Damn, he really deserves to be the top scholar of that year!

Qin Ming couldn't help but give him a thumbs up!

"You will be responsible for the stories in the evening paper from now on."

Without any hesitation, Qin Ming took out a hundred taels of silver and stuffed it into Fang Qingyuan's arms.

Fang Qingyuan pushed the banknote aside and said seriously:

"No need. Use the money I earn from my articles to print more copies."

Compared to making money, Fang Qingyuan wants his articles to spread more widely.

This is his path to self-realization.

Fang Qingyuan has finally figured out the ropes of life.

Qin Ming smiled and put the article away, nodding and saying:

"Okay, then I'll print another thousand copies for you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

In the evening, Qin Ming returned to the yard after finishing his work in the workshop.

But he found that Song Dingsheng and his men had not left at all.

His eyes were red and he took out two articles with excitement.

"Your Highness, did you see today that the morning newspaper with my article printed on it has been circulated throughout Linjiang City?"

"Everyone in the streets is talking about my article!"

Song Dingsheng spoke in a high-pitched voice.

After so many years of studying, this is the first time that he has used his pen to inspire so many people.

Now he has fallen into extreme self-satisfaction.

"I see. It's very good. We still need your article to carry the banner for our newspaper."

Qin Ming smiled and spoke, praising him continuously.

There are so many top writers around to assist me.

From this perspective, it may be very simple to control public opinion yourself.

Qin Ming was thinking while preparing to send his article to the workshop.

But when he heard the words "carry the banner", Song Dingsheng suddenly calmed down.

"Your Highness, how are the sales of today's evening paper?"

"All six thousand copies are sold out, what's wrong?"

Qin Ming looked at Song Dingsheng in confusion.

"Six thousand!?"

Song Dingsheng gritted his teeth and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Your Highness, please tell me who wrote that article?"

"I can't tell you this. He hasn't agreed to reveal his identity yet. But you two will be responsible for the morning and evening editions respectively. Go for it."

Qin Ming finally figured it out.

Song Dingsheng and Fang Qingyuan seemed to be getting a little carried away, and had even started to compete secretly.

It is estimated that after hearing that his ethical story was widely circulated, Song Dingsheng also heard the story of the fox demon in the evening paper.

Qin Ming didn't care about the competition between them, as long as the newspaper was run well.

Then, he began to instruct everyone on the next task.

"Everyone, the newspaper promotion has achieved initial success. The next step is to reform public opinion! In tomorrow's newspaper, we need to include a negative image of the Luo Cult!"
