Zhu Zhanzhen has heard of this name. He lived with his grandma when he was a child. Grandma liked to listen to stories about the generals of the Yang family and the female generals of the Yang family. The Qinhuai poet was the author of the romance of the Yang family.
Of course, many of the novels of this era were not thought up by a single person, but were written and re-created based on folklore or various stories.
When he thought of the story of the Yang family generals, Zhu Zhanyi felt happy from the bottom of his heart. If not, heaven and earth are all working together, so whatever he wants comes to him.
He wants to find folk novelists to serialize novels in the Ming Daily. There are many novels in the Ming Dynasty. Among the four famous works, [Journey to the West], [Romance of the Three Kingdoms] and [Water Margin] are all from the Ming Dynasty, and there is also the ancient book [Jin Ping Mei].
.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin were compiled at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and have now been written into books. Although there are some differences in the versions circulated by later generations, which were modified by later generations, it is difficult to serialize the books that have already been written.
As for Journey to the West and Jin Ping Mei, it is still too early to be released in Wanli Period, which is a pity.
And not all novels are suitable for serialization in daily newspapers. After all, stories like Water Margin, which are relatively bloody and violent, were prohibited from being told in public by the imperial court.
If you haven’t watched Water Margin, culture has a great influence on young people. If all the young people of the Ming Dynasty wanted to go to Liangshan, the court would be in trouble.
We must conform to the values of the Ming Dynasty and love my Ming Dynasty.
The Yang family general Zhongyi, he had never thought about it before, and he just happened to meet him.
Zhu Zhanzhen became interested and asked: "Since you compare yourself to the number one scholar, what works can compare with the number one scholar?"
"Hmph, wen and confidants talk, what do you guys know?"
"Bold." The thin shopkeeper was furious when faced with Ji Zhenlun's arrogance. He didn't like these poor scholars coming to eat and drink, but this Ji Zhenlun came every day and ate a lot.
When the thin shopkeeper wanted to teach Ji Zhenlun a lesson, Zhu Zhanzhen stopped him: "If only a few people can read your article, then you are not as good as the number one scholar. You are just a lack of talent. There are many high-minded people and you can't produce good works."
There are also many people who consider themselves to be masterpieces."
Ji Zhenlun couldn't bear Zhu Zhanzhen's stimulation. He picked up a book from the table with a shoddy cover. He probably couldn't afford a good book.
When a child said this to Ji Zhenlun, his blood surged up, and his ears that were visible to the naked eye were red. It seemed that his blood was strong: "This is what I want to show Mr. Lin Miao today. If you can understand it, just take a look."
[The Chronicles of the Yang Family's Loyalty and Bravery from Generation to Generation]
These words are written on the cover of a poor-quality book. This name is difficult to pronounce. If it were placed at the starting point, I guess not many people would click on it.
After flipping through it, it turned out to be the story of the Yang family generals. Zhu Zhanzhen took it into consideration. The good guy's books are all about the same, so why don't you recruit your subordinates?
It's just that the scholar has a stubborn temper. It's probably not easy to convince him.
At this time, the curtain at the stairway opened, and Lin Miao, an old gentleman with excellent ventriloquism on the first floor, walked up.
As soon as Lin Miao arrived, he bowed to Zhu Zhanxu and saluted him. He had already met Zhu Gaoxu on the second floor just now and knew Zhu Zhanxu's identity.
"Your Majesty, Fifth Highness, I have lost my sight and come back to Haihan."
Seeing Lin Miao being so respectful to the young man, she naturally guessed that his identity was unusual.
"Mr. Lin Miao just saw his onomatopoeic ventriloquism on the first floor and was amazed." The other party was older and respected me, and I had to respect him in return.
"These are all unattractive things that make His Highness laugh."
Zhu Zhanzhen smiled slightly, handed the book back to Ji Zhenlun and said: "The writing is average."
"How do you know if it's good or not by just reading two pages? What I'm writing is a story about the Yang family's loyalty and righteousness. The full text is more than 100,000 words. You just read it twice and say it's OK..." Ji Zhenlun saw that his book was looked down upon and he became angry instantly.
Just came up.
Lin Miao stretched out her hand and patted Ji Zhenlun's shoulder gently: "Calm down and don't be anxious. Your Highness thinks the average is average. Everyone has different preferences. Your Highness may just not like books with this theme."
An old artist is still an old artist, and he can't stand the excitement like Ji Zhenlun. Moreover, he has read Ji Zhenlun's The Romance of the Yang Family. It is by no means an ordinary book. He has been asking Ji Zhenlun to make more revisions. If it can be completed as a book, he will finance and publish it.
, and also give lectures in teahouses.
Zhu Zhanchen felt that the purpose of his trip was achieved without any effort.
"Chu'er, take out the newspaper and show it to Mr. Lin Miao."
Zhu Zhanzhen briefly explained the newspaper to Lin Miao, and Lin Miao was shocked.
"Political section, business section, literary section, if your highness publishes this newspaper, many people will definitely read it." Lin Miao thought of the prospect after just one glance.
He is a storyteller. He grew up in a poor family and followed a master. Because of his talent and unique skills, he gradually became famous. Over the past few decades, he has accumulated a reputation and a huge family fortune.
He understands that there is such a huge market for those things that others look down upon after dinner, and what a huge market there is for the novels and stories in story books.
After telling a lifetime of stories and meeting so many people, what are they looking at? What are they listening to?
Have fun listening to it, having fun watching it, and having fun.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the people were in dire straits, everyone still needed an outlet to vent their emotions. In the current Yongle era, folk entertainment activities have become even more abundant, and these novels and stories are even more needed.
Published in a newspaper in a serial format, you can read the novel after buying the newspaper, and the newspaper has various layouts for people with various preferences, which will undoubtedly attract more people.
The identity of the young man in front of him meant that he had to do this with the permission of the imperial court and the Holy Emperor.
"Your Highness is showing this newspaper to me. Is there anything I can do to help?"
Looking at Lin Miao's respectful look, Ji Zhenlun was still a little unconvinced. The young man in front of him had slandered his book. He didn't know why Mr. Lin Miao, whom he respected so much, was so humble.
"Mr. Lin Miao, how about I leave the cultural and entertainment pages to you?"
"I'm scared. If His Highness is interested in Lao Chen, I can be in charge of the entertainment page for His Highness and publish some novels that I think are good. I'm afraid that the cultural section will be beyond my ability and far inferior to the literati and ministers in the palace."
"No, no, no, the novel is not in the entertainment section, but in the culture section."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Zhenlun seemed to be hit by electric current and trembled all over.
The sense of identity they had been looking for for a long time was actually found in the boy's words.
"To make a newspaper, you don't have to look for the number one scholar. The Qinhuai poet just said this. I just said that his book is like a book, and I got angry. He can't make a newspaper well. If you want to find an editor for a newspaper, you have to look for someone like you. I understand.
A person of literature, a person who loves literature.”
A little fire seemed to be ignited in his withered heart. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Miao said respectfully: "Thanks to His Highness, I am willing to do my best for Your Highness."
"In both the cultural and entertainment sectors, there should be elegant poetry, lyrical words, wonderful novels, and articles suitable for all ages. There is only one core: benevolence, filial piety, etiquette, loyalty, bravery and patriotism."
