"Storybook?!"

Gao Yang and Chu Qingluan said in unison, their faces sinking instantly.

Just then.

Gao Changwen walked in with a stack of bamboo paper and small booklets, and just happened to hear the second half. He couldn't help but sigh and replied: "Brother, sister-in-law, it is indeed a storybook."

"I was just about to come and talk about this, asking brother to come up with a plan to help me."

"Ever since brother dealt with the Pei family and produced low-priced bamboo paper, poor scholars can indeed afford it, but it has also triggered a new problem."

"Now that bamboo paper is cheap, small workshops printing and selling storybooks in Changancheng have sprung up like mushrooms, and you can buy a volume for twenty wen. It's just that the content..."

Gao Changwen looked troubled, put the small booklet in his hand aside, and casually picked up the thin booklet on top. The cover was colorful, and the title was "The Romantic Nun."

"The content is really mixed, good and bad. I discovered it last time when I sold the love storybook about brother and Miss Lü. Many poor scholars, in order to make money, to attract attention, and to be curious, used language that was simply vulgar, and the plot was even more unbearable!"

"Now storybooks are becoming more and more popular, and even the literate maids and servants in the mansion are competing to pass them around, let alone in the marketplace. Ling'er is afraid that she... has been influenced."

Gao Yang first gave Gao Changwen a fierce look.

This bastard, he actually had the face to talk about the matter between him and Lü Yourong?

If it weren't for this bastard taking the lead in writing "fan fiction" about him and Lü Yourong, would he be in such a difficult situation now?

But now, what Gao Changwen said was indeed a problem. This evil wind was blowing too fast.

The iteration of technology must have advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantages of cheap bamboo paper were reflected.

Gao Yang took the "The Romantic Nun" and just flipped it open and scanned it twice, his brows tightly locked into a 'chuan' shape.

This book was filled with explicit hints and vulgar slang, almost undisguised, even more excessive than the "fan fiction" about him and Lü Yourong.

He flipped through the small booklets Gao Changwen brought again, and his face sank even further.

In here, some small booklets actually dared to use the title of enlightenment, and when opened!

The content, although not so vulgar, was either mentally retarded and empty, or carried a few slang words.

Gao Yang naturally understood the chaos behind this.

In this day and age, serious Confucian scholars write books based on the way of sages, talking about the way of sages and virtuous people, which is very boring, and children don't like to read it at all.

These Confucian scholars hold their status, how could they write folk storybooks?

Similarly, talented people with great talent and wealthy families don't bother to write "storybooks." Now, most of the people writing "storybooks" among the people are failed scholars who can't afford to eat, so the content is naturally mixed.

Gao Yang thought of Gao Ling's two "brilliant" sentences, and a chill mixed with anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

He, the dignified first poison strategist of Da Qian, could stir up trouble in the court and make the Xiongnu tremble with fear at the border. Now that he has retired to his home, could it be that even his own sister and future daughter would be poisoned by these filthy things?

"Unreasonable!"

Gao Yang slammed the storybook heavily on the table, his cloud-brocade cuff brushing past, bringing up a gust of wind.

"If this continues, what will Ling'er and Junjun read in the future? What will they learn? I can prevent it for a while, can I prevent it for a lifetime?"

Once a child reaches the rebellious stage, the more you don't let them do something, the more they want to do it. These vulgar storybooks and banned books are absolute disaster areas!

Gao Yang knew this very well.

After all, he had experienced it!

Although Gao Yang himself was only twenty years old, he already had the worries of an old father.

Chu Qingluan also looked worried. She looked at Gao Ling's innocent small face and thought of the babbling Junjun.

She whispered to Gao Yang: "Ling'er is still young and doesn't understand the deep meaning, just thinking it's fresh and fun, so she learned it. But if she waits until she is older, or when Junjun starts to learn to read in the future, if these dregs become enlightenment reading materials, what will happen?"

"Won't their minds and temperaments be led astray?"

Gao Yang took a deep breath, looked at the sky, and scanned toward Chu Qingluan and Gao Changwen.

"Talented people in the world seek the imperial examination, seek to govern the country, cultivate themselves, and bring peace to the world. Most of those who can write these 'storybooks' do so to make money. Under involution, inferior writing will surely prevail!"

"This thing, even if the law strictly forbids it, will surely breed in the dark. This is the law of market operation."

When Gao Changwen heard this, he thought of how he had spent a lot of money to hire Changan talents to write four versions of the beautiful love storybook between Gao Yang and Lü Yourong, but the four versions couldn't beat the one that was on the edge and inserted.

Therefore, he couldn't help but feel sad and deeply agreed.

"Brother, what should we do?"

Gao Changwen was anxious.

Now, it was Gao Yang who was full of surprise, "Changwen, you've grown up. You don't think about making money, but you're so righteous, which makes brother a bit surprised."

When Gao Changwen heard this, he hurriedly said, "Brother, you underestimate me, Gao Changwen!"

"When it comes to children's spiritual food, I, Gao Changwen, am simply righteous to the point of evil!"

When Chu Qingluan heard Gao Yang's tone, she felt settled in her heart. She urged, "Husband, if you have a way, then say it quickly."

Gao Yang scanned the two of them and said.

"Very simple!"

"The market doesn't have good enlightenment materials, then write them yourself! After reading good books, how could they be influenced by those filthy things?"

"Lüluo, grind the ink and take the pen!"

Gao Yang waved his hand and made a decision.

"Hiss!"

Chu Qingluan and Gao Changwen gasped, feeling a bit surprised.

Gao Yang... actually wants to write it himself?

Gao Yang can also write this children's enlightenment reading material?

"Brother, can you still write this?" Gao Changwen was a bit unbelievable.

"A mere children's enlightenment reading material, what's difficult about this?"

Gao Yang was full of confidence.

Soon.

Gao Yang picked up the pen and fell into deep thought.

Although he had made a decision in his heart and had many stories, what should he write?

Peppa Pig?

As soon as this thought emerged, it was directly denied by Gao Yang.

Since it is an enlightenment reading material, the story naturally cannot be too mentally retarded!

Suddenly.

Gao Yang's eyes lit up, and he had a decision in his heart.

He picked up the pen in his hand, the tip of the pen was saturated with thick ink, his wrist hovered, and then he wrote like the wind. On the snow-white paper, a line of powerful characters jumped out.

Chu Qingluan and Gao Changwen looked curiously, their beautiful eyes widened slightly, and they couldn't help but read it out—"The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit"!

Beside him.

Lüluo, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang also gathered around.

When they saw the title, they were directly stunned.

Rainbow Cat?

Blue Rabbit?

Can this cat and rabbit write a good enlightenment story?

Gao Yang turned a deaf ear, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
