After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

The onlookers laughed at the stone monkey's disheveled appearance, but the monkey had already slipped into a shoe store and cleverly used the hook of a birdcage to steal a pair of shoes.

Later, when eating noodles, because he didn't know how to eat them, he stood on the table, and the long noodles were hung high up in the air.

People under the canopy laughed until their stomachs hurt.

"What a monkey!" Li Shimin laughed so hard he wiped away his tears. "Although it's a demon, it's not without kindness, and it's quite clever and alert."

Empress Zhangsun saw the monkey take off its shoes and throw them at those who were mocking it, and even knew to cover its shame and run away. She couldn't help but laugh, "This monkey is like a human, it has a sense of shame, and it has never harmed anyone."

[Then, the stone monkey arrived in the mountains and, through the narration of a woodcutter, went up the mountain to become an apprentice.]

The actor who played Bodhi Patriarch did indeed possess a transcendent and otherworldly aura, clearly indicating that he was a highly accomplished master.

There were also many disciples around him. They didn't say anything about the stone monkey's unusual appearance. Instead, they kept the stone monkey and named it Sun Wukong.

The other disciples of Patriarch Bodhi also displayed their skills, giving many people under the sky a feast for the eyes. What seemed like an ordinary palm technique could actually shatter rocks in mid-air when it was struck.

When his fellow disciples were teasing Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong laughed very happily.

After watching the third episode, they all marveled at Sun Wukong's intelligence, as he was able to decipher the meaning of Bodhi Patriarch's tap on his head.

If he can't learn magic, then who can?

Even though everyone knows this is a TV series, people can't help but wonder: is there really such a thing as immortality?

Some friends even came to Wu Cheng'en's place overnight, asking him this question again and again.

Because Wu Cheng'en wrote some parts very realistically, it was as if he brought those immortals to their faces and let them see them clearly. The actors in later generations also performed very well, each of them exuding an air of otherworldly grace and dignity.

Wu Cheng'en was also helpless. He was just writing a novel, but how did it become as if he had actually seen gods?

He could only emphasize again and again that the story was purely fictional!

Zhu Qinggu had no idea that showing "Journey to the West" here was causing trouble for the author of "Journey to the West." After watching for a while, her hair dried.

There was no movement from their side either. Wang Minghua climbed down to do her homework, and Zhu Qinggu also planned to finish her homework as soon as possible, and then collect some information to prepare for the live broadcast the day after tomorrow.

The ancients saw that the sky had darkened again and waited for a while, thinking that perhaps Miss Zhu would rest for a while like before, and then continue watching?

They also want to watch "Journey to the West"!

After waiting for a long time without any response, they could only leave in the end.

But their ears perked up for a while, and sure enough, there was nothing left. Only then did they regretfully reminisce about the episodes that had just been played.

The next day, even clay figurines and sugar figurines on the market featured "Sun Wukong" designs. Since this was from the previous dynasty, Wu Cheng'en had no way to pursue copyright fees.

Even during the Jiajing reign, Wu Cheng'en wouldn't have bothered to investigate those who made clay or sugar figurines. The fact that they were willing to make Sun Wukong's likeness shows that Sun Wukong was very popular!

The following evening, Zhu Qinggu simply scrolled through Douyin (TikTok) and immediately forgot all about "Journey to the West".

Short videos are entertaining, but the classic TV series "Journey to the West" is just as appealing to them!

Many people don't really understand what later generations or politics are, especially children. They just think monkeys are fun, and they try to imitate Sun Wukong by wielding a stick every day. Sometimes they accidentally hit someone and get a good spanking from their parents.

But they'll do it again next time!

Who could resist the charm of the Monkey King?

Zhu Qinggu casually scrolled through videos, but felt a bit listless. He even forgot to take his phone with him when he went out to throw away the trash.

The phone automatically plays videos here. After one video finishes playing, a static-like sound appears on the screen, and then it automatically jumps to the next video.

Zhu Qinggu was unaware, and those under the sky were even less aware.

They knew then that there were videos they could continue watching.

This time, the topic is... food!

From the emperor to the common people, no one would miss this message.

The fear of hunger is deeply ingrained in the genes of Chinese civilization, and the kind-hearted Chinese people have always waged round after round of struggles over land.

Throughout China's history spanning thousands of years, it has been a history of agricultural struggle against the land and natural disasters.

So the reason why Ying Zheng was so eager to summon the peasants back was because he saw the so-called hybridization on the sky. Although it was only mentioned in a short passage and a few words, the Chinese people are not bad at divergent thinking.

It's just that it's not valued by people.

Once they take it seriously, all sorts of results can emerge very quickly.

Now, people from all dynasties suddenly focused on the issue of food, listening intently to what was being said from the sky.

In 2008, the world's four largest grain traders attempted to short-sell my country's staple grain market.

This seemingly ordinary statement immediately made many people stand up straight.

From the previous videos, they also vaguely knew that there would be a United Nations in the future, and that after the difficult founding war, Chinese civilization was rising rapidly, but there was still a superpower blocking their way—the United States!

The emperor and his ministers, on the other hand, thought of the fact that throughout Chinese history, all dynasties had emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, all because they were worried that merchants would speculate and drive up prices.

And now, such things are happening in later generations?

How will future generations resolve this issue?

This immediately piqued the interest of countless people.

They wanted us all to live a life of poverty, but my country Grain Reserves Corporation (Sinograin) retaliated with a clever strategy.

China Grain Reserves Corporation... This should be a place specifically for managing grain. Is it similar to Changpingcang or Guanghuicang?

As Zhao Zhen thought about this, he was also quite curious about many of the policies of later generations.

Moreover, these things in later generations do not seem to be taboo for ordinary people.

At first, they also thought that Miss Zhu had fair skin and smooth, calloused hands, and was the daughter of a wealthy family. Later, they discovered that the people around her, and even those who came out, were the same.

They knew that modern people generally lead a more affluent life, and that Miss Zhu was just an ordinary girl from a poor family. She could see this information through this thing called a 'cell phone,' and so could everyone else.

Therefore, in later generations, all kinds of news and national policies would be publicized so that everyone could know about them.

If only they could promote themselves like this here.

The imperial power never extended to the countryside!
