Without letting Han Du wait long, Granny Li sent someone to find Chang Hao.
When the people sent by Grandma Li found Chang Hao, he was spitting and telling stories to people in the restaurant. During these days, because Jiaofangsi had endless topics to talk about, he also made a lot of money from his eloquence.
Originally, when Chang Hao heard that someone was looking for him, he didn't want to pay attention. But as soon as he heard that someone from the Jiaofang Division was looking for him, he quickly apologized, interrupted his story and went to see the visitor. The Jiaofangsi asked him for help twice, and both times he was very generous. The income he earned at one time was enough to last him three to five days.
When I heard that the Jiaofang Secretary had come again, I thought something good was coming, so I naturally didn't dare to neglect it. Even when he heard that he would be invited to the Jiaofang Division, Chang Hao followed without any hesitation.
Jiaofang Secretary, how many people can't even go to a place that they want to go to, but can only covet it outside the gate? It costs ten dollars to get in, and not everyone can get it. Just like Chang Hao, he made a lot of money during this period, but after spending it, the money he saved was only five guan. This alone made Chang Hao extremely satisfied, because normally, he would not be able to save money at all.
And even if Chang Hao had ten guan of money, he would not be willing to spend it all just by coming to Jiaofangsi. Throwing ten pieces of money without even hearing the sound of water is still too extravagant for ordinary people.
Now that Chang Hao has the opportunity to join the Jiaofang Division, how could he miss it? It's nothing to take advantage of. If you don't take advantage, you don't know how long you will regret it. For this reason, he even forgot about making money from storytelling.
You can read books at any time, but the opportunity to enter the Jiaofang Department does not always come. Moreover, if he can visit Jiaofangsi with his own eyes, it will greatly increase his conversational skills, which will be extremely beneficial for him to earn money through storytelling. Maybe he will earn more in the future.
Aunt Li brought Chang Hao in, signaled to him, and said, "This is my Master Han."
"Chang Hao, a common man, pays homage to Mr. Han." Chang Hao showed no signs of stage fright and bowed down with a smile.
But thinking about it, ordinary people may inevitably be trembling with fear when meeting officials, but who is Chang Hao? He makes a living by telling stories in front of people. If he doesn't even have this courage, he can't eat this bowl of rice.
Han Du secretly nodded and expressed satisfaction at Chang Hao's courage. To be a human being is to have enough courage. No matter who you face, at least you can't show any timidity, not to mention being able to remain calm even if the mountain collapses. Because once you show your timidity, the noble person who originally intended to give you a hand will feel that you are unable to support you. And those who target you will seize the opportunity to kill you.
Therefore, it is completely useless if you show timidity. It will only do you harm, not the slightest benefit. No matter who you are facing, even if you are extremely scared, your face must remain tense.
At the beginning, when Han Du faced Lao Zhu, he was extremely scared. After all, as far as Han Du knew, Lao Zhu was famous for his cruelty, and one bad thing was that his head fell to the ground.
If Han Du hadn't held back tightly at that time, Lao Zhu might not have listened to what he said. I'm afraid the grass on Han Du's grave is now a foot high.
"Get up." Han Du said with a smile.
Chang Hao was not polite to Han Du. He stood up and said again: "Thank you, sir." Then he stood quietly, waiting for instructions. Chang Hao knew that since Jiaofangsi had found him and met with the Lord, it was obviously not just for the sake of meeting him. He doesn't have such a big face yet, so there must be something he wants to do.
Han Du pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I heard that you did a good job for the Jiaofang Secretary, so I wanted to meet you on a whim."
"Your Excellency, that is what ordinary people should do. Since they have taken the money from the Jiaofang Division, then ordinary people must do their best." In just two sentences, Chang Hao said that he was neither humble nor arrogant.
Han Du nodded secretly after hearing this. He was bold, courageous, and well-founded, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant. Han Du was generally quite satisfied with Chang Hao, whom he met for the first time.
He waved his hand and asked Nanny Li to retreat, and then asked: "Since you can tell stories, you must be literate, right?"
Chang Hao saw the master sending the people away, and he and the master were the only two people left in the whole room. He knew then that the highlight was coming. Hearing Han Du's greetings, Chang Hao replied seriously: "Yes, it is no problem for ordinary people to be literate and decipher characters. Moreover, ordinary people are more literate and can read all the four books and five classics, but they just don't understand the meaning of the scriptures."
Whether he understood the classics or not had little impact on Han Du, and he didn't want him to take the imperial examination. On the contrary, it is better if he does not understand the meaning of the scriptures. He will write whatever you ask him to do, and he will not make trouble out of trouble.
"Can you write?" Han Du continued to ask.
"Uh..." Chang Hao suddenly choked when he heard this.
Originally, he thought he would be able to prosper, but he didn't expect that the next words from the adult would instantly extinguish all the enthusiasm he had just aroused.
Although he felt very sorry in his heart, Chang Hao still replied truthfully: "Sir, ordinary people don't know how. Although ordinary people usually like to read some miscellaneous books, they have never written anything by themselves."
After saying that, he stood there with a sinking face, lowering his head and waiting for Han Du's response.
Unexpectedly, Han Du said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. If you write according to what I say, there should be no problem, right?"
"Ah? No, no problem." Chang Hao was caught off guard by Feng Hui Lu, and his tense expression suddenly broke, and he stuttered back.
Han Du felt a little funny when he saw Chang Hao's helpless look. But since Chang Hao agreed, Han Du didn't care.
Of course, what Han Du wanted Chang Hao to write was "Journey to the West". He remembered the content, so there was no need for Chang Hao to think about the content. He only needed to write "Journey to the West" according to his own narrative.
As for why Han Du didn’t write it himself? Oh my god, "Journey to the West" has hundreds of thousands of words. It would be a nightmare to write it out by myself with a brush. And in terms of time, it’s too late.
What Han Du wants now is to completely write "Journey to the West" in the shortest possible time.
Without further ado, Han Du asked someone to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Chang Hao. Han Du continued to tell Chang Hao the main content of each chapter, and then Chang Hao added the details. Finally, Han Du read it over again. After revising it, a chapter of "Journey to the West" was released freshly. .
Seeing that this method was feasible, Han Du asked Grandma Li to contact ten storytellers who had worked with Jiaofangsi to help Han Du write with Chang Hao.
