Chapter 147 The most poisonous poison in the world(1/2)

The Imperial Academy has a long history. Since the day when the Imperial Academy was established in the Ming Dynasty, students have secretly copied the latest novels and sold them for money.

Generally speaking, they can only earn about half a month's money. Once counterfeit books flood the market, their handwritten books will no longer be competitive in the market.

However, Jinyiwei broke this tradition by banning counterfeit books. In addition, the price of the genuine "Golden Plum Vase" was too high, which gave them more room for profit.

Therefore, since the release of "The Golden Plum Vase", the number of people in Guozi's supervisor team has been increasing day by day.

From the number of ten or twenty people in the past, it gradually evolved into the number of two or three hundred people later.

However, there are only a few people who can eat this bowl of rice.

After all, the scumbag who writes slowly will be eliminated immediately.

Those who can persist on the front line of the team for a long time are quick shooters who write 5,000 words a day.

Xie Kui was the leader in the hand-typing group. He not only wrote quickly, but was also eloquent. More than half of the manuscripts of Imperial College students were sold through his hands.

He didn't make much per book, and only charged an agency fee of ten or twenty yuan. When the sales exceeded ten books a day, he stopped copying books by hand and switched to selling books full-time.

After working for a period of time, he not only mastered a certain number of customers, but also unified the market price of Imperial College manuscripts, and introduced new ones, innovatively adding commentaries on the manuscripts.

Once these review editions came out, they immediately caused a shock in the market. Not only did readers of the counterfeit editions rush to buy them, but even some readers of the genuine editions went crazy to buy them.

Some assistant teachers from the Imperial College and officials such as Xuezheng also joined the review army. They used their knowledge and prestige to launch various review editions, which attracted competition in the market to imitate.

In the end, not only did the price of this review version of the handwritten copy exceed that of the original version, but even the sales volume loomed as a threat to the status of the original version.

After Zhu Yunxi learned the detailed information in Jinyiwei, he immediately ordered Xu Liuzi and others to arrest Jie Kui and bring him to justice.

On this day, Xie Kui was sitting in the teahouse opposite the Imperial College, drinking tea leisurely and looking around with his eyes open. Whenever he found someone dressed as a scholar, he would come forward to sell the latest edition of the manuscript.

At this moment, he found a teenage boy walking into the store. He didn't take it seriously at first, because children of this age were still addicted to the fun of peeing and mud, and didn't understand the fun of Fengyue.

.

However, this young boy sat directly opposite him and even took the initiative to talk to him.

"May I ask, sir, if you have the latest version of that..."

Xie Kui was secretly shocked when he heard this, and then lamented the precocity of children nowadays, how could they know how to taste love at such a young age?

"Young gentleman, do you want a review version?"

"Uh-huh!"

“What’s the point of reading a book without a review!”

When Xie Kui heard what the young boy said, an ambiguous smile appeared on his face.

"The young gentleman is an expert, hehehe..."

"You are right, the greatest pleasure in reading a book is reading reviews, which not only allows you to understand more wonderful things, but also adds more fun!"

"I currently have a single review version and a general review version here. I wonder which one the young gentleman would like?"

Zhu Yunxi immediately asked curiously after hearing this.

"What is the single review version and the general review version? What is the difference between the two?"

Jie Kui explained patiently.

"The single-review version is a review by a single person, but mine is different from the reviews by ordinary scholars. They are all reviews by book reviewers."

"As for the general review edition, as the name suggests, it is a collection of comments from many book reviewers. When you read a certain paragraph, you can see the opinions and opinions of many celebrities!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he secretly wondered, in just a few days, they had come up with something new again?

"Then get a copy of everything!"

Seeing Zhu Yunxi say this, Xie Kui immediately took out a book box from under the table, opened it and placed it on the table.

"Please choose, sir!"

Zhu Yunxi stretched his head and looked inside, only to see a box full of books. He took out a book and saw a familiar name.

"Meishan Taoist review version!"

"Isn't this Taoist Meishan the one who wrote the biography of the Zhao sisters? He also reads the Golden Plum Vase?"

When Xie Kui saw that Zhu Yunxi even knew Taoist Meishan, he was slightly shocked and at the same time became more convinced that he was a little pervert.

"The young gentleman is so knowledgeable that he even knows Taoist Meishan?"

"This Taoist from Meishan is an expert in Fengyue scripts. As soon as his commentary version is published, it will surely attract countless people to copy it!"

As Xie Kui spoke, he took out a thicker book and handed it to Zhu Yunxi respectfully.

"However, in our general review book, Taoist Meishan's comments are also included, including those of the new Minister of Rites, Mr. Qi. In short, as long as you buy this book, you can appreciate the comments of more than a dozen people at the same time. Those who read the book

It will be more fun!”

Zhu Yunxi was even more surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Qitai to be involved.

As everyone knows, this was the habit of the literati at that time. When reading a book, they not only liked to comment on it, but were also proud of how many times it was copied and borrowed.

After Zhu Yunxi confirmed that he understood the facts of Kui's crime, he immediately threw a cup as a signal, which attracted more than a dozen Jinyi guards to rush in and arrest Jie Kui, who had clear facts and solid evidence of the crime, and brought him to justice.

This time, Zhu Yunxi fully absorbed the experience of the last time and tried to shrink the brutal power of Jin Yiwei to one point. Starting from the sales channel, he cut off the most important link of this gray industry profit chain in one fell swoop, so that it would not be widely implicated and cause

Irreversible impact.

Just when he was done, and was about to follow the others back to Jinyiwei to interrogate Xie Kui overnight and interrogate his accomplices, he suddenly saw dozens of guards at the door blocking his way.

When Zhu Yunxi saw so many guards, he immediately shrank his neck with guilt. He secretly thought that this little thing would not alarm Lao Zhu. He was very restrained this time and only caught the culprit and did not implicate him in any big way. Even if he was accused

Yingtianfu Yamen also takes matters into its own hands, so no one should be too talkative to file a complaint, right?

Just when Zhu Yunxi was thinking this, two people suddenly walked in from behind the guard, one was Zhu Gui and the other was a young man of the same age as Zhu Gui.

As soon as Zhu Gui saw Zhu Yunxi, he introduced him enthusiastically.

"Eldest nephew, this is Zhu Shangbing from your second uncle's family. He is three years older than you. You have to call him cousin!"

(The plot requires that Zhu Shangbing’s age be raised by three years)

When Zhu Yunxi heard that he was from the Qin family, he was not interested in paying homage to him. A vassal king who was lucky enough to open a kiln didn't look like he had any future.

"oh!"

"It turns out he's a cousin. Zhu Yunxi has met his cousin!"

"I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step!"

Zhu Gui grabbed Zhu Yunxi and dragged him onto the carriage.

"Your second uncle said that if I don't bring you over today, I won't be allowed to sit at the table!"

"And I also told the big story in front of your second uncle. You can't let me lose face, can you?"

There is nothing wrong with Zhu Gui, he just likes to talk big and save face.

Zhu Fang knew this very well, and he casually sang a few double lines with his son, which attracted Zhu Gui.

Not only did he promise that he would definitely be able to invite Zhu Yunxi, he also dragged Zhu Shangbing with him.

Zhu Shangbing also helped.

"Cousin, don't blame me!"

"My father said that if I can't help you, I will break my legs."

"Uncle Thirteen also felt pity for my nephew, so he forced me to invite him."

Zhu Yunxi was forced into the carriage by Zhu Gui and said with displeasure.

"Isn't it just a meal? Who hasn't eaten it? Why do you want you two to catch me?"

Zhu Gui chuckled upon hearing this, showing an ambiguous smile.

"Silly nephew!"

"If it was really just a meal, would Uncle Thirteen come here to catch you?"

"It's not convenient for me to tell you the specific situation. You'll know when you get there soon, hehehehe..."

Zhu Yunxi knew this guy very well. There must be some unsightly show in Prince Qin's palace, which made Zhu Gui, a little pervert, so interested.

On the other side, after Qin King Zhu Xi greeted the guests, he ran to the backyard to whisper to Mrs. Deng.

"My beloved, do you think this trick can work?"

"Zhu Yunxi is still young, so he probably won't like these, right?"

Deng, the concubine of King Qin, chuckled when she heard this.

"I heard the Crown Princess herself say that the most popular storybook on the market, the Golden Plum Ping, was written by your eldest nephew."

"Think about it, would the person who could write such a book be an ordinary child?"

When Deng said this, the joking expression on her face disappeared and was replaced by a solemn one.

"If Your Highness wants to succeed, Zhu Yunxi must be eliminated, followed by Zhu Yunwen!"

"Only by getting rid of these two people will you have the possibility to aspire to the throne!"
