Confucius, the literary world, Zhao State.
Students from all over the country entered private schools or academies as usual. However, the first thing the teachers did on this day was not to check yesterday's homework, but to distribute two books.
One is "Zhang Longxiang's Book on Parenting" and the other is "Zhang Longxiang's New Poetry Collection and Appreciation". Both books are not thick and are more like two booklets.
The first copy of "Zhang Longxiang's Book on Teaching His Sons" had a preface written by a great scholar from the State of Zhao, and a postscript written by the King of Zhao, which is the postscript at the end of the book.
The postscript of the King of Zhao is very intriguing. On the surface, it introduces Zhang Longxiang's life, but after reading it, many people can't help but wonder why a genius like Zhang Wankong would rebel against the Chu State? Why would a poet like Zhang Longxiang be imprisoned for ten years? Was it the Zhang family who did something wrong, or was it the King of Chu who did something wrong
As for "Zhang Longxiang's New Poetry Collection and Appreciation", the preface was written by the Prime Minister of Zhao State. Although this person was not as direct as the King of Zhao, he also pointed out that there must be a reason why Zhang Longxiang wrote poems full of grief and concern for the country.
A propaganda war against the State of Chu was once again carried out silently.
The rest of the countries received the news as early as yesterday and contacted Zhao State, and then immediately handed it over to various printing houses for printing overnight. In the early morning of this morning, the two books appeared quietly outside the bookstores of various academies of literature.
Many bookstores and booksellers began to purchase books from Wenyuan Bookstore, and the two books spread rapidly like a prairie fire.
In the eyes of most people, the first national poem and the first poem handed down from generation to generation in the literary world were both written by Zhang Longxiang. Therefore, not only are his poems worth learning, but his way of educating his children must also have certain significance.
Those scholars paid more attention to "Zhang Longxiang's New Poetry Collection and Appreciation", but people from all over the country wanted to know more about how the current top poet in the literary world educates his children. As a result, there was a trend of rushing to buy "Zhang Longxiang's Book on Parenting" in various countries, and literary academies in various places worked overtime to print it.
After the Kong family members stationed in the literary world learned about it, they also bought two copies and then submitted the matter to the Holy Academy and the Kong family.
Shengyuan Continent.
No one knew why, but Zong Ganyu, the elder of Dongsheng Pavilion and the head of the Zong family, actually took the samples of the two books to the Lidian in person. It only took him two quarters of an hour to convince the elder of Lidian who was in charge of education. Then Dongsheng Pavilion and Lidian jointly sent letters to let the human race's academies of literature across the country promote the two books.
Since it was the elder of the East Saint Pavilion who spoke personally and it was endorsed by the Li Hall, and both books had no interest in the countries of the Shengyuan Continent, and the contents were either about educating children or teaching people to be patriotic, they were as positive as could be, so literary academies in various places began to print and sell them as soon as possible, but most of them did not take it positively.
After all, Zhang Longxiang is a literary man, his literary reputation in Shengyuan Continent is not big enough and he has no base among the people, but scholars from all over the country took the initiative to buy it.
Qingguo was the most enthusiastic because the whole thing was arranged by Zong Ganyu. King Qing personally issued an oral order, ordering all academies across Qingguo to list the two books as optional textbooks, and then ordered official literary academies in various places to list "Zhang Longxiang's New Poetry Collection and Appreciation" as a required reading textbook.
The whole of Qing was swept by a craze for buying these two books.
Officials from all over Qing State tried their best to sell books. They could see clearly that the reason why the Zong family and the King of Qing did so was to establish an enemy of Fang Yun. It was better to praise people in the literary world than Fang Yun.
The people of Qing understood this, and the people of Jing also understood this very well, so scholars from all over Jing began to resist these two books.
However, the left prime minister Liu Shan issued an order to link the sales of the two books to the evaluation of officials this year. Officials of each rank and position must sell a certain number of copies. If they fail to sell a sufficient number, their evaluation will be given a lower grade.
The scholars in Jing State even heard a rumor that if the two books sold well, local officials would definitely be promoted.
As a result, officials from all over Jing State looked for teachers they knew, and some officials were even willing to pay half of the cost of books so that the academies and private schools would sell them to students at half the price.
For a time, officials in Jing State were in dire straits, and officials across the country went around selling books while cursing Liu Shan.
Except for Qing and Jing, other countries were not keen on selling these two books. However, the monarchs and officials of various countries soon received a message that many elders in the Kong family unanimously passed a resolution requiring every child of the Kong family to buy these two books.
The Kong family has branched out over the past thousand years, and many people have scattered to various countries due to various problems. They are no longer considered true Kong family members. Even so, there are millions of Kong family members in various countries who worship Confucius as their ancestor.
The monarchs and officials of various countries suddenly realized that the literary world was created by Confucius after all. If a great poet emerged from the literary world, it would be like a great poet emerging from the Kong family. Naturally, the Kong family would allow insiders to buy it.
However, the Kong family knew their limits and did not force the distribution of taxes like the Zong family did.
The Kong family had too much face that other countries had to give it, so the monarchs and ministers of culture of various countries issued some decrees regarding the two books, hoping that officials and academies in various places would let students buy the two books, but they did not force them to buy them like the Jing Kingdom did.
The Holy Academy had a strong ability to mobilize. At around ten o'clock in the morning, the Shengyuan Continent had become the same as the literary world, with a large number of copies of "Zhang Longxiang's Parenting Book" and "Zhang Longxiang's New Poetry Collection and Appreciation" appearing in bookstores across the country.
Within one day, the scent of ink filled the two worlds.
The literary world of Confucius is hundreds of miles away from Zhucheng.
Su Lun has been standing beside Fang Yun, guarding him carefully.
At noon, Su Lun noticed that the fluctuations of the vital energy around Fang Yun suddenly became stable, but after careful perception, he realized that the vital energy was not really stable, but all the vital energy was compressed near Fang Yun's body surface. Only by getting close and sensing carefully could he find that the fluctuations of the vital energy were a hundred times greater than before!
Su Lun took a close look at Fang Yun and found that Fang Yun's smile disappeared. He became more solemn and dignified, as if there was an unstoppable and powerful force in his body. That force was accumulating rapidly. Once it accumulated to the extreme, it would shock the world.
Su Lun blinked his eyes and was shocked to find that Fang Yun's face was dull and his aura was blocked, just like an ordinary person who was sleeping. Everything he had seen before seemed to be an illusion.
"well… "
Su Lun sighed softly, and suddenly heard Xun Tianling's scolding in his ears, so he looked in the direction of the voice.
The barbarian king had a fox head and a human body, with red hair all over his head. After hearing Xun Tianling's scolding, a hint of shame and anger flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Xun Tianling's literary courage had already broken through the second realm and was very close to the level of a great scholar. Many of the fox clan's magic was useless in front of him.
The scholars in the literary world near Xun Tianling were greatly surprised. They were brave enough to write letters and were not afraid of this level of sorcery, but those soldiers without literary courage were most afraid of this power.
They were originally planning to use morale-boosting war poems to resolve the fox tribe's sorcery, but they didn't expect that they would be dispelled by Xun Tianling's words. Only then did they realize how big the gap was between themselves and the top scholars of Shengyuan Continent.
The Barbarian King Hu Mu looked at the three Barbarian Kings Xiong Bei, Lang Dan and Xiang Ba and asked impatiently, "Why haven't you captured them yet? Even if you can't capture them, why are they so energetic and not damaged?"
