The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

When you become famous and publish a single book for sale, the royalties will increase accordingly.

The newspaper will not be difficult in this regard.

"What about two?"

Bai Gui asked.

He just heard clearly that Ryuko Tanabe said that the Asahi Shimbun had put forward two conditions.

To be honest, the first condition was not too harsh, and was actually of some benefit to him. As for the second point, he became a little curious.

"The second is to ask you to take a job at the Asahi Shimbun as a editorial commentator."

There was a layer of coffee stains on Tanabe Ryuko's lips. Under the light of the cafe, she looked intellectual and beautiful.

This is a woman who is good at taking advantage of opportunities to spread her charm.

"Social commentator, is there any benefit?"

Bai Gui was also a little surprised. Asahi Shimbun often invites well-known writers and celebrities to serve as editorial commentators to evaluate some social news and current affairs news. This seems to be an inconspicuous position.

But once there is, it is equivalent to being promoted to a social celebrity.

They are similar to the editors of the commentary section of the Democratic Progressive Newspaper, except they have more freedom.

A temporary job!

With this position, most people can't do anything to him even if they want to.

It is equivalent to sheltering under the banner of Asahi Shimbun.

Japan at this moment is very different from the shogunate era. The merchant class of townspeople became very powerful and replaced the samurai class. The two are no longer the same. To be more extreme, the power behind Asahi is equivalent to the plutocratic power in Japan's later period.

warrior?

That's the end of the old days!

Attack some forces and win over some forces.

It is impossible for Bai Gui to offend everyone in Japan. It is enough to offend the samurai. Anyway, everyone is shouting for beatings now, but it is different if he offends the Japanese chaebol...

In addition, the "Asahi Shimbun" at this time was one of Japan's three major newspapers alongside the "Yomiuri Shimbun" and "Mainichi Shimbun".

The president behind Asahi, Murayama Ryuhei, is the king of Japanese news.

"I applied for this specially for you."

"Forget about what happened before, you have to thank me for this!"

Tanabe Ryuko chuckled and handed him a letter, which was an employment letter from Asahi Shimbun to Shiro Gui.

Bai Gui thanked him endlessly.

"There's no need to be so grateful..." Ryuko Tanabe saw Bai Gui's sincere expression, covered her mouth and giggled, "Asahi asked you because you are an international student and can evaluate some things more objectively."

"identity?"

Bai Gui somewhat understood. Newspapers cannot only recruit commentators from their own country. Some matters will appear more objective when foreigners comment on them. However, the Asahi newspaper's policy is to be "non-partisan and impartial", so there is no need to worry about bad things.

Even if there is, just resign when the time comes.

Anyway, it's a temporary job, and if it involves some things, I'll ask him to comment on it and give me some remuneration.

"This is the novel writing material Asahi gave you, please put it away."

Ryuko Tanabe handed over another envelope, which was very thick.

Bai Gui's Great Qin Empire has been published for four issues, and Asahi also wants the copyright. The original manuscript of the novel can be taken from the four issues of the Minjin Newspaper, so the polishing materials given are only from these four issues.

A total of three hundred and sixty yen.

A lot of income.

…

As Bai Gui became famous in one fell swoop, major writers and literary figures came to the fore, and then the Asahi Shimbun published the novel about the Qin Empire. The name Bai Gui not only has a certain reputation in Japan, but is also well-known among students studying in Japan. Some Qing literary giants who pay attention to current affairs in Japan also noticed this newcomer.

Embassy in Japan.

"The Great Qin Empire is reforming to become stronger... take a closer look, is there any chaos involved?"

Minister Wu said to some clerks in the embassy.

He planned to report this matter to Yanjing, so as to enhance the prestige of the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, this is also a good performance of his management as the minister in Japan. After all, No. 1 High School is a school that he personally manages...

But I am afraid that something unexpected might happen if there is information about the rebellious party.

That's a mistake!

"Mr. Hui, there is nothing involved in the rebellion. They are all based on historical facts and describe the contents of Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang's reforms."

The clerk replied.

"That's good!"

"I will discuss it with Ambassador Hu later, but it is too late. Now send a telegram to send this message to Shanghai. You, also take the manuscript of the novel, the Asahi newspaper, etc. to Shanghai, and then take the train. , hurry up and rush to Yanjing..."

Minister Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

The fee for sending a telegram is eight cents per word, plus two cents and four cents for every province. Confidential and foreign texts are charged double. Therefore, it would cost dozens of oceans to send one or two sentences, which the embassy could not afford.

Just as he was leaving the office, there was a sound outside the door.

"Brother Chu, I finally see you."

A young man in a suit and leather shoes walked over, followed by a girl in a pink dress. When the young man walked two or three steps away from Minister Wu, he suddenly gave him a bear hug. He was very friendly and seemed to be an old friend.

"Brother Xiongqi, aren't you studying abroad at the University of Munich in Germany?"

"Oh, look at my memory. You have just graduated. It is late October. You came from Germany by boat. The time is right..."

Minister Wu slapped his head with a smile on his face: "I've forgotten everything."

A considerable number of international students who have returned from studying abroad often choose to stay in Japan for a while before returning to their home countries. Firstly, they want to inquire about domestic news. After all, the domestic situation changes too fast, and secondly, they also want to prepare for their return.

Therefore, Minister Wu believed that Bai Xiongqi was also like this.

He was also a student in Germany at an early age, but he returned to China earlier and was sent abroad as a minister.

"Anyway, my brother was too busy with work at first, so it's understandable that he was too busy."

Bai Xiongqi took off his windbreaker and placed it on the clothes rack in the embassy. He was wearing a close-fitting European-style suit underneath. He saw the nearest newspaper on the table and held it in his hand, reading it while talking.

"Your master, Jin Quan, is the Minister of Military Aircraft. After you studied in Germany, you will definitely be entrusted with important responsibilities after you return to China."

Minister Wu smiled lightly.

"What happened? Isn't it settled yet?"

Bai Xiongqi shook his head. He also wanted to return to China as soon as possible, but he couldn't rush it. In ancient times, there was a shortcut to Zhongnan, and now studying abroad is also up for grabs. If he waits for his teacher to make arrangements later, he can return to China and hold a high position, otherwise If you return home too soon, your appointment will no longer be guaranteed after the official selection.

Therefore, it is just right to stay in Japan for a while.

"This is?"

Minister Wu noticed the girl who was following Bai Xiong as he stood up.

A ginkgo-colored shiny printed satin dress with a sweetheart neckline, revealing a small piece of a water-red thin silk shirt in front of the chest. On the shirt, there is another string of pearl necklaces, which is very gorgeous.

"My sister-in-law, Xiuzhu, just came back from my sister's country. Please come back with me."

Bai Xiongqi introduced.
