Chapter 1212: Release
April 18th was a good day; it was also a day that would be recorded in the history books of later generations. Reason being, this was the day the world’s first female newspaper was published.
This day was recorded in history as the beginning of the awakening of female self-awareness.
In the eyes of the later generations, today was a sacred day. However, in the eyes of the people of Great Qi, today was a very lively day. In places where The Lily Times was distributed, people looked forward to buying a copy. Even in places where it wasn’t, people would get their contacts to send them a copy or two.
The Lily Times was out of stock as soon as it was launched.
The women were unusually supportive because it was a woman’s newspaper.
Considering a newspaper cost merely five copper coins, the women expressed that they could afford it. After all, it was just the cost of two pairs of insoles.
They could afford it without relying on men.
On the other hand, the men were very curious about the contents of a woman’s newspaper, having heard that The Lily Times had recruited an all-female staff. Every staff member was female—all the way from the noble Empress to the lowly newspaper vendors!
The villagers of Yangchun Village, Songjiang Prefecture were also guarding the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village early in the morning. All of them were waiting for the junior officer to read the newspaper to them after returning from the town to collect a copy.
On the other hand, Li Yuan personally ran to town to buy a copy of the newspaper. When he saw his mother’s name on it, he immediately jumped up in joy and ran towards the village.
