Vol 2 Chapter 1023: Outrage

"His Royal Highness, I have already placed the "Officialdom" characters on the campaign stage according to your instructions. You can no longer embarrass me."
Huang Qubing pulled Liu Yu to the corner to whisper.
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle!"
"Don't, you must not call my uncle, I can't bear it. Just call me Huang boss."
Upon hearing the word "uncle", Huang Qubing's heart and liver trembled.
Whenever Liu Yu, the eldest prince, pays a salute to the younger generation, nothing is good.
Liu Yu is always good, "Boss Huang is in charge of Wenqing Bookstore, but he never thought about innovation? You can't keep going along the old path of the past."
Huang Qubing was uncertain, "Is this the meaning of your highness, or the meaning of the mother?"
Liu Yu said:
The world needs to be split and merged. There are so many things. The queen manages everything every day. There is no time to pay attention to the operation of Wenqing Bookstore. Wenqing Bookstore has been working for so many years. It is time for a change. This is my personal Thoughts."
Huang Qubing asked, "His Royal Highness, how to change Wenqing Bookstore, and in which direction?"
Liu Yu thoughtfully said: "The market in the capital has almost been developed. Has Boss Huang thought about expanding the scale and spreading the Wenqing Bookstore to the world? Many students in the world are eager to study at Shanhe College, but the family is poor and powerless. Going out of the mountains and out of my hometown, there is no money to buy a problem set.
Your Wenqing Bookstore can ponder this aspect and formulate some systems to help these poor students who are struggling to study. In addition, it is time for the newspapers and periodicals industry to exert its strength. These are all my simple opinions. If boss Huang disagrees, he will assume that I have not said anything. "
Huang Qubing lowered his head and pondered for a while, "The plan for Wenqing Bookstore to open branches in various state capitals was proposed a few years ago. For various reasons, the plan has not been implemented. Now the majesty brought up this matter and went back. Later, I carefully pondered and mobilized all the people from the Wenqing Bookstore, and first went to several large state capitals to test the water. If the effect is good, then spread out one by one."
Liu Yu praised and nodded, "If there is a shortage of manpower, Boss Huang can go to Shanhe College or the Imperial College to recruit people. Although the students discriminate against business, they never regard the bookstore as a merchant's business and have a sense of identity with the Wenqing Bookstore. Recruitment. One thing, I think it will go smoothly. At Baigong College, you can recruit a group of guys, who are good at writing and counting, and you can take them around for half a year to exercise, and you can basically be alone."
"Thank you for your Highness's suggestion, I will consider it. I heard that your Highness will return to the court to practice after the wedding?" Huang Qubing asked gossiping.
Liu Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The news spread so quickly, the parents and the queen did have this arrangement. As for myself, I will consider it again."
"His Royal Highness doesn't want to go to the court to experience it?" Huang Qubing asked curiously.
Liu Yu asked casually: "How about going to the place to experience it?"
Huang Qubing's heart trembled, and he was terribly afraid.
"Your Majesty, don't scare people! The prince goes to the place to practice. Since ancient times, there has been no such rule. Moreover, the local experience is no better than in the court. As the saying goes, stand tall and see far, your Highness's eyes It should be taken longer."
"I just want to learn more about people's livelihood."
"This this this..."
Huang Qubing was short of words, and after thinking about it, he said: "Understanding people's livelihood is not to go to the place to experience."
Liu Yu smiled, "I understand Boss Huang's concern. I just said casually."
Huang Qubing covered his heart and scared him to death.
Fortunately, I just said casually, don't do that.
There is no precedent in the court, you can think of it with your toes, and courtiers who dare to set a precedent will spray that person to death.
Most of the people in the courtroom are actually very conservative and want to stick to the rules.
Only when the emperor is tough to do something, some courtiers will be a little aggressive and open a little bit.
Continue to stick to the rules afterwards.
Follow the old rules, save worry and effort, and don't have to take risks.
perfect!
Liu Yu didn't mention the experience and asked instead: "How does Boss Huang plan to fund the poor students? How can I prevent someone from falsely receiving funding?"
Huang Qubing was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness, can you please don't embarrass me, okay? I'm old and my mind doesn't turn as fast as you. The Wenqing Bookstore expansion plan is not complete yet, so I asked me how Sponsoring the poor children, I can't answer all this!"
He really wants to cry.
He felt that His Royal Highness must be eyeing him.
Otherwise, why always find him wrong.
Liu Yu was amused, "Boss Huang does not have to be self-effacing. It is recognized that you are unique in running a bookstore. Whether it is an expansion plan or subsidizing poor students, I believe that Boss Huang will come up with a good way. Hopefully a few years Later, Shanhe Academy will be able to have more poor students from other places to study, and send more talented people to the court."
"I solemnly thank Your Highness for the poor students in the world."
Huang Qubing is serious.
Liu Yu seemed to smile but not smile.
Facing Liu Yu's smile, Huang Qubing had a guilty conscience. He smiled, "I will work hard and live up to your majesty."
Liu Yu said, "Boss Huang doesn't have to be responsible to me, but to his father and the court."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Ancestor, you are right in everything.
Could you please stop talking!
What a stress!
Liu Yu smiled, "The Hundred Gardens is so big that I haven't even finished half of it. Boss Huang is busy, I should go around too."
"His Royal Highness walk slowly."
Sending away Liu Yu, Huang Qubing feels refreshed.
He called Sanshun and said, "Watch the voting situation for this son, and make sure that Mr. Xu, the character in "Officialdom", advances to the top three."
"The son said two days ago that the characters in "Officialdom" would be selected for selection. It was pure nonsense! Why did you ask to make sure to advance to the top three? Son, you are really fickle."
Sanshun has always been direct and sharp.
Huang Qubing looked irritable, "Fart! This isn't fickle, it's time to judge the situation."
Sanshun's weak point: "It's obviously a black box operation."
"There is a lot of nonsense, just go if you ask you to go."
"Oh!" Sanshun reluctantly left.
Huang Qubing wiped his face, only to find that his face was full of sweat.
Is he easy?
Can the characters in novels that His Royal Highness likes rank last?
Of course not!
It was hitting His Royal Highness in the face, and even more so.
The head of the dignified Wenqing Bookstore can't even handle the black box operation. Is it fair?
Therefore, you can only grievances ranked fourth, fifth, sixth... The aggrieved men are ranked behind a greasy middle-aged uncle.
Huh huh!
He can't help it!
The collapse of middle-aged people usually comes from a sentence on the mountain above their heads.
When it gets dark and the lantern is a little bit, the entire night sky is illuminated.
The beauty is suffocating.
There was one last stick of incense before the deadline, and men and women all swarmed.
In front of the voting desk, crowded.
They are all trying their best for their favorite novel characters.
咚咚咚...
With three crisp bells ringing, voting time is up.
The folks from Wenqing Bookstore came to the stage to count the votes.
"The leader must be San Niangzi."
"It's Mengniang!"
"It's Shichiro!"
Everyone is talking about cheering for the characters in the novels they support.
It must be competitive, and it must be the leader.
Dry flip next door XX...
Liu Yu asked the guard in a whisper, "Have you voted according to my instructions?"
The guard also whispered, "Don't worry, son, according to your instructions, at the last moment, I voted for 5,000 bookmarks."
Liu Heng asked for credit for himself, "Brother, I helped you vote for a thousand bookmarks, using my private money."
Liu Yu laughed with satisfaction, "Tomorrow, I will have someone give you a pocket money."
Liu Heng was secretly excited. He was really smart in exchange for a thousand bookmarks for pocket money.
Liu Zheng also said: "I've voted a thousand bookmarks for you."
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Now it's stable, and I will definitely be in the top five. Good brother, I will invite you to drink."
"No need to change tomorrow, just tonight, how about?"
"Okay! Not drunk or returning."
"Never get drunk or return!"
...
Yan Ci did not listen to his hands and feet, he was shaking.
Wang Xuecheng pressed his arm, "Brother Yan, don't shake!"
"Can I not shake?"
It was the first time for the selection of novel characters. A total of two characters in his pen were selected to run on the same stage as other popular novel characters.
He didn't do anything all day, so he hid in the flowers and stared at the voters.
Silently counted how many votes the characters in his pen got.
"Brother Yan hold on!"
Wang Xuecheng really did his best. He stayed with Yan Ci for the whole day, and there was no time to not shake.
Yan Ci grabbed Wang Xuecheng's arm, "Brother Wang, can I do it?"
"Surely it will work?"
"My book sells mediocre."
"Brother Yan is humble."
So much money is not an ordinary treatment.
"Not as hot as a few books."
That is!
Several popular legendary novels, after so many years, can still appear on the book bestseller list from time to time, and they are huge.
Wang Xuecheng comforted him, "Brother Yan must have confidence in himself, even if he doesn't get the leader, he will definitely make it into the top ten."
"I don't need to be in the top ten, I will be satisfied if I can enter the top fifteen." The strict remarks are not demanding.
Begin to announce the ranking.
The drum sounded and the atmosphere was tense.
Boss Huang came to the stage and personally announced the ranking.
"The most popular female novel character is Mengniang!"
boom!
The audience burst, everyone excited.
This result can be regarded as popular.
The scholars yelled, venting their excess energy.
Boss Huang continued to announce the results.
"The most popular male novel character is Zhang Sheng, from the novel "Past Life and Present Life".
Huang Qubing grinned and laughed.
"Past Life and Present Life" is the outline of his thoughts and the character he conceived.
It was the last book he edited and published before he went to work in Shaofu.
It is also his favorite book, with all his hard work and love.
Very glorious!
Very proud!
He laughed so hard that he could not see the teeth.
Unexpectedly, the characters in the novel he conceived could be loved by everyone for many years, and he was selected as the most popular novel character.
After laughing, he continued: "This time the vote for Wang Kui is Zhang Sheng, who won a total of 21,721 bookmarks! The second place is Mengniang, who won a total of bookmarks..."
Voting the top 20 most popular novel characters, regardless of male and female roles, is a melee.
Hearing that the number of bookmarks starts with 20,000, Liu Yu knew that he had underestimated the spending power of the young lady present.
Underestimated their love for the characters in the novel and the monetary price they were willing to pay.
Perhaps some people, in the midst of booing, were forced to use money to buy bookmarks to vote for a certain novel character.
But he still believes that most people who buy bookmarks to vote are out of love for the characters in the novel.
When it's over, Mr. Xu, his favorite, may not be able to make the top five.
I knew I should buy 10,000 bookmarks in one go.
The guard stepped back secretly for fear of becoming cannon fodder.
Liu Heng murmured, "I would have voted thousands more if I knew it."
"...Fifth place, Master Xu from "Officialdom", with a total of 15,000 bookmarks..."
Huh?
Liu Zheng, Liu Heng, guards, Qi Qi looked towards Liu Yu.
Liu Heng said quickly, "Brother, have you secretly bought tickets again?"
Liu Yu was also very dumbfounded, "I thought it was you who bought the ticket behind my back."
Liu Heng and Liu Zheng shook their heads together. They didn't really like the character Xu in "Officialdom", how could they spend so much money on ticketing.
Liu Yu looked at the guard again.
The guard shook his head like a rattle.
He bought five thousand copies and voted in before the voting deadline.
"Shady!"
Someone in the crowd yelled for the shady, and instantly touched the sensitive nerve in everyone's heart.
"There is shady in the selection!"
"A character in a novel who has never heard of it can vote for the fifth place, as everyone is a fool!"
"Shady!"
"Wenqing Bookstore operates in the dark, and the bookmarks are fake."
"Fake, Quante is fake."
"Wenqing Bookstore go to death!"
"Boss Huang eats shi."
In this situation, Liu Yu sighed softly, "Sure enough, it caused public outrage! It's because no one likes Master Xu."
