Chapter 919: Realization

Liu Dong's original intention was that, given the current situation, the third volume should have a smaller print run.

However, Liu Zheng expressed otherwise.

Not only should it not be reduced, it must be increased!

Liu Dong was stunned.

Increase the print run?

This kind of situation?

But there was no Method; the Liu Family was run by Liu Zheng.

Increase the print run!

The third volume of the Xie Clan's Southern Expedition was to have its print run increased directly to fifty thousand copies!

Of course.

To avoid capture by the government soldiers, the place where Liu Dong was responsible for printing remained very secretive. That night, Horse Carriage after Horse Carriage loaded with these fifty thousand books headed toward all corners of the Li Dynasty.

Remember the website address.

Liu Zheng smiled faintly.

Since these Southern Faction people could not help themselves, he did not mind adding fuel to the fire for them!

"These damn government soldiers!"

The Li Dynasty Heavenly Prison had been noisy since last night, bustling and chaotic, just like a vegetable market.

"What are you shouting about? Everyone shut up! Shut up!"

"You all—"

"Ahhhhh, my Miss Xie, what has happened to her, woooo!"

"Let me out quickly, I want to read the book!"

At this moment.

How could they understand the madness of these avid readers? One by one, they were shaking the doors and windows of the prison cells, all with the same rhythm.

"Miss Xie!"

"Miss Xie!"

These jailers were about to go crazy.

Would they not let anyone sleep!

Isn't it just a book? Was it worth it?

At this moment.

Early in the morning.

In front of a breakfast stall.

Crazy!

The jailers were all crazy.

Were the people on the street not the same?

"Is there any?"

This person took a sip of soy milk and said with his head lowered.

"I heard it's out!"

A man wearing ordinary clothes, acting furtively, covered his mouth with his collar and ordered a serving of soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Not long after.

Another person approached, following closely behind.

"Good!"

"At noon, we exchange money and goods!"

The two settled it and left in different directions.

The other one replied.

The first man's eyes lit up with excitement: "Really? Do you have a channel?"

"It's already on the way!"

"Understood!"

Whether in Hancheng or other cities, there were such conversations and such an atmosphere.

Hancheng.

"Do you have the goods?"

"Right away."

"Shh, be careful!"

The steward took a deep breath, carefully closed the door, and then solemnly pulled a book out from inside his clothes.

The Xie Clan's Southern Expedition!

The third volume!

In a certain large courtyard.

"Do you have it? Do you have it?"

A white-haired old man, leaning on a cane, watched the steward return, his expression very agitated.

In another courtyard not far away.

A roar had already erupted.

"You still haven't gotten it? You still haven't gotten it! I raise you bunch of trash, are you all just eating for free! Go get it for me, I don't care how much it costs!"

The old man was incredibly excited, tears streaming down his face: "Heavens, I have finally seen it, it is finally here! Quick, quick, quick, send someone out to keep watch! Hahahaha, that old man Park, he must be dying of anxiety, dying of anxiety!"

"Yes, Master."

And so.

"Master, I heard that today, only thirty copies were sent in from outside the city, while three hundred were confiscated."

"This..."

"These thirty copies have already been snatched up by various nobles!"

A rather robust old man was hopping mad.

Lao Zhou next door had said he would be able to see the third volume of *Xie Clan Southern Expedition* today!

He had seen it, but he himself could not, what kind of situation was this! The two had been competing for so many years; in anything, he could not lose to him!

"Yes."

The entire Li Dynasty, on this day, was in such an atmosphere.

The old man's eyes went round: "What do you mean? Your master, I, do not count as a noble? Hmm? When I was an official in the court, Li Hang himself was my student!"

"Master—"

"Go quickly! No matter the cost! Whatever price must be paid!"

Those who saw the third volume were instantly enthralled.

!

This is it!

The third volume of *Xie Clan Southern Expedition* became something everyone clamored for; they were simply famished and thirsty for it. Those who obtained it were like drinking sweet nectar, while those who did not were scratching their ears and cheeks, hopping mad.

Brilliant!

Liu Zheng's writing style, naturally, went without saying.

Fifty taels!

On the black market, the price of a copy of *Xie Clan Southern Expedition* had already been bid up to fifty taels!

This was something no one had expected.

A pioneering long-form work!

And so.

People began offering high prices to acquire *Xie Clan Southern Expedition*, starting at two taels of silver, then doubling directly to five taels, then ten taels, and finally thirty taels!

He could not help but smile bitterly.

"Young Master, this, this, this, isn't this too crazy?"

Li Xuanya also looked completely bewildered.

Yes.

Even Liu Zheng had not expected it.

"Good heavens."

That was that everyone began to realize the problems of the Li Dynasty.

Queen Inhyeon!

Only when Queen Inhyeon returned to the palace could the Li Dynasty return to peace and happiness.

At this time, she had not only become the author of this book with widespread fame, but she also held the copyright royalties! The more money this could earn, the more charity she could do; who wouldn't be happy?

Liu Zheng also laughed heartily: "Take it slow, take it slow."

This was the wonder of Literature. This counter-cyclical industry was always this magical. Currently, the flames of war at the border had not yet ceased, but Li Zhenzhu had still waited for the first batch of reinforcements from the Li Dynasty. Qinghe Town was temporarily safe, and anti-war sentiment within the country began to intensify. There was still panic among the people, so under these circumstances, this began to become popular, which indicated one problem.

In this way.

Fifty taels, what did that even count for?

"Are they crazy? Hmm? Have they all gone crazy!"

As long as that wicked woman Zhang Yuzhen was in power for one day, the Li Dynasty would have no peace!

Under the influence of this sentiment, more and more people wanted to read this book. Not only that, more and more people wanted to collect this book, because they had realized that this book was very likely to become a witness to a historical turning point for the Li Dynasty, a very important witness and piece of evidence!

A milestone!

It really leaves one speechless!

"Lord Li."

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath: "I am wondering, have we overreacted?"

Li Hang was already so angry he smashed his cup.

Under his such strong suppression, he still had not suppressed the popularity of *Xie Clan Southern Expedition*. What made him almost faint from anger was that even in the Heavenly Prison, they had actually started passing around the third volume!

This—

In the past few days, some had begun to discuss whether the Southerner Party had been poked in the heart, which was why they were so frantically suppressing this book. This immediately caused their reputation to fall into a passive position.

Li Hang, however, gave a cold laugh: "Overreacted?"

"My lords, it is not an overreaction at all! The ideological transformation caused by this banned book has already seriously affected our status!"

The others nodded as well.

It was just a book.

Is it really necessary?

The expressions of the group changed drastically.

Zhang Xuan was even more shaken: "Lord Li, you absolutely must not! Regarding this matter, I always feel there is something suspicious."

"Suspicious?"

"It is not excessive at all!"

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes: "In fact, I believe we should be even more extreme!"

"What?"

Was it arranged by someone?

That's right!

Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence?

A group of people looked toward him.

Zhang Xuan frowned and nodded, saying: "I don't know why, but I keep feeling that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes, step by step, forcing us into a dead end!"

The group of people looked at one another.

Thinking of this.

Suddenly, the expressions of several people changed simultaneously.

It is hard not to think of one specific possibility.

Queen Inhyeon and Li Xuanya went south to perform charity and win over the hearts of the people. Then, following that, this *Xie Clan Southern Expedition Record* came out.

Going south, southern expedition.

Spoken out loud.

"Vice Minister Liu!"
