The winter in Bianliang is very cold, even the Yellow River has frozen.

  At this time, Cuju was still far from the spectacle of later generations and lacked the professionalism of later times.

  It's not that the sports associations and clubs don't want to make money, they do. The advertisements were printed and all the necessary promotions were done, but after the opening, there were very few spectators, which forced them to cancel the subsequent events... The cuju players were paid by the game, but it wasn't like the soccer stars of later generations who could earn money just by sleeping.

  So, along with it, the sales of the newspaper also slumped and almost came to a standstill.

  The princes no longer bring back news when they go to school, so Zhao Xi knew that the polo matches outside had stopped, and the news reports probably also stopped.

  Zhao Xizhen couldn't understand why a newspaper would be born out of a certain project, but that's exactly what happened at the moment.

  The saplings of the industry always need care.

  Many people still don't know how to operate in the media industry nowadays.

  Zhao Xi has seen strange things and legendary things, so he thinks it should be possible to serialize them.

  If matched with the local customs and human feelings of the national dynasty, it should be able to support itself through the winter at present. It can also guide the direction for the budding newspaper industry.

  The question is whether he considered it suitable for later generations to plagiarize his masterpiece or if he fabricated it himself.

  "Water Margin" is definitely not suitable, it's not that time yet, now Liangshan is still a vast expanse of water and marshes. Besides, it's purely slapping one's own face, can't do it.

  "Red Chamber" would be fine without Yuanyun, but it so happens that the rise and fall of Red Chamber relies entirely on Yuanyun as the main line.

  As for the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West, that's okay... Alas, I'm just rambling on, those things, Zhao Ye didn't even memorize them. Don't let your own nonsense ultimately ruin the classics that have been passed down through generations.

  So Zhao Xi decided to fabricate.

  Fantasy Realm

  "Chu Sheng was born in the capital city of Yanjing, Huaguo. Since the beginning of the dynasty, the Chu family has been officials for generations and is a renowned and respected family in Huaguo."

  "Chu was born and stood in his years, because of the lord's rectification of official affairs, he resigned and followed business. After several years, this year entered tens of millions of wealth."

  "Today, Chu Sheng wants to go to the north of Hua Guo. In the north of Hua Guo, there is a mountain called Changbai, which is rich in ginseng, sable fur, and deer antler velvet, all of which are precious products. This time, when Chu Sheng went there, he heard that Mount Changbai has produced a thousand-year-old ginseng king."

  "His grandfather was advanced in years and needed his descendants to show filial piety. The Thousand Year Old Ginseng King had not been seen for nearly a hundred years, although it was said that its price was as high as 100,000 taels of silver, but Chu Sheng still wanted to buy it and present it to his grandfather."

  "Because business and administrative class tickets were sold out, Chu Sheng did not want to sit in economy class, so he changed to take the train. At the time of departure, it was already late at night, although he was 1,500 miles away from Changbai Mountain, Chu Sheng could still arrive by evening..."

  ……

  "Your Ladyship, how is your revenge going?"

  Although Zhao Xi could have guessed the truth, she still asked the empress. Not to be pretentious, but for her own sake, writing about a world that was currently just fantasy, yet truly experienced by herself.

  He didn't fabricate out of thin air, but presented the real world of later generations in a strange and wonderful way to people today.

  He wants to tell people what the future world will be like and also wants to convey an idea indirectly.

  Let's put aside whether it is right or wrong for now, and not discuss whether it goes against the current system. Let's just treat it as a legendary tale of strange happenings.

  "Xi'er, the maternal uncle's family has sent a message to mother. It's cold in winter and there are few customers watching the kick-ball game, so the winter competition has been cancelled. Therefore, the work of making shoes has stopped."

  "Don't worry, my aunt's family has promised that when the workers stop working, they will be taken care of by my aunt's family and not a single person will go missing."

  With the benefits brought by less than half a year, six families have already tasted the sweetness. Moreover, various military and commercial households have initially contacted and are willing to authorize the holding of Cuju and other events, which is another huge benefit.

  The Liu family did not dare to slack off in their work, and even more so, they would not let the inner courtyard share the burden of supporting idle workers.

  For the past two years, every household has been living comfortably, all thanks to the ingenious ideas of Prince E. The entire clan is deeply grateful and it's only reasonable that they should share some of the expenses.

  "Mother, I have no other intention. It's just that I think the cold winter and the suspension of the polo match should not affect the matter of repaying debts."

  "Does Xi'er have a good plan?"

  The benefits of the resistance are not small, although Nei Yuan is really short of money now. If that part of the income is gone all of a sudden, even if you don't have to worry about the craftsmen, Empress Cao will still be quite regretful.

  Money is never too much for anyone, and the more you have, the less you want to earn.

  "Mother, this is what your child has come up with..."

  Zhao Xi handed over the manuscript he wrote to Niang Nang with great embarrassment. To be honest, he didn't have much literary talent, although in later generations there was also a dream of being an author, but even articles as simple as tofu blocks had never been published.

  The resilience of repeated defeats and battles did not make his pen name appear in any publication, but only increased the number of rejection letters in his drawer.

  As for this life, although his talent and reputation are well-known outside, he himself is the only one who understands what's really going on.

  This time it's really written by myself, and I'm a bit nervous in my heart. I'm afraid that even if it's not on stage, the style of writing is also unacceptable.

  Popular culture has its own soil and a large audience in any era.

  Just like the queen, after seeing the story manuscript handed over by Xi'er, she had already forgotten that she was discussing serious business with the child and was completely absorbed in the story. Especially the fresh things mentioned inside, such as airplanes, trains, mobile phones, computers, etc.

  "Xier, why didn't Chusheng bring Lianer into the house as his wife?"

  My goodness! This is just a story, and it's about the future too. I'm only telling you about how a merchant met a beautiful woman by chance. Why do you have to make him take her home as his wife?

  Isn't a simple encounter not good enough? Without the trivialities of everyday life, can we still retain that beautiful love... Don't you know that all the legendary love stories passed down through the ages end in tragedy?

  "Your Ladyship, it's just a child... a child... It was only a story published in the newspaper to entertain the people."

  Empress Cao was taken aback for a moment, then immediately composed herself.

  "Xi'er, jealousy is a seven-out. Although it's a strange story, it can't be used as the real name for a jealous wife. Many villagers are ignorant and take strange stories as true ones. Therefore, Xi'er, listen to your mother, even if it's just a strange story, don't mess up the social norms."

  I'm going! Zhao Xi was defeated, and he still wanted to spread his values to future generations. It seems that he can't get past the queen's test.

  "Mother, I understand now. Later, add more plot and let Chu Sheng marry Lian'er."

  Got it! Zhao Xi couldn't help but let himself know that in later generations, having three wives and four concubines was allowed.

  "Xier, are you ready to respond with a rebuttal article? The story isn't over yet?"

  At this time, Empress Cao finally reacted and told her child about the revenge report.

  "Mother, this is a three-day serialized content. The child thought of publishing one chapter every day, so that those who are interested in reading it will continue to buy the newspaper."

  "This is one. Two is, the child thinks that in conjunction with the place names in the serialized publication, the maternal uncle's family can simultaneously publish the local customs and geography of the place."

  "So mutually complementary, can continue printing and publishing in winter."

  Zhao Xi originally wanted to start from the military states of Great Song, but after some thought, he realized that if this rumor were to spread, it would likely be known by both Liao and Xia. It's better to start directly from their territories instead.
