The night was getting dark, and the lights were like beans, giving the house a layer of dim yellow.
Jiang Han sat by the desk, spread rice paper on the desk, poured water on the inkstone, and started grinding the ink.
If you think about it carefully, Dayu attaches great importance to literature. If you copy the famous works of that world, you really don't have to worry about selling them. It may be difficult to be the richest man in Dayu, but it is still very easy to be the richest man in Yunmeng.
However, to sell your own novels, you have to open a bookstore first. Renting a store in Yunmeng City plus various expenses will cost you at least one hundred taels of silver a month.
Now I don’t have a single copper on me.
But now that he is the uncle of Ningguo Mansion, he should still be able to borrow some money from his father-in-law.
Even if you don't borrow it from your father-in-law, you can still get one hundred taels of silver by yourself.
So the current problem is which novel to copy? The Four Great Classics are the most influential and the most profitable, but the key is that some things in the Four Great Classics cannot be copied randomly.
Jiang Han thought carefully for a while and then determined the target: "Water Margin".
Why "Water Margin", because "Water Margin" praises the spirit of chivalry.
Dayu respected Confucianism and Taoism, but also valued chivalry, so it seemed most appropriate for him to write "Water Margin".
As for "Water Margin" being suspected of advocating rebellion? Just kidding, wouldn't it be enough to change the title of the book to "The Story of the Imperial Court's Suppression of Rebellion"?
Furthermore, you don’t have to copy out the entire book. Wouldn’t it be enough to just select the story of one character?
Jiang Han thought about it for a long time and then set his sights on the ten chapters of Wu in "Water Margin". In the entire "Water Margin", Wu Song is the character described in the most pages, with as many as ten chapters. Among them, the stories of "Wu Song beat the tiger", "Drunk and beat the door god Chiang Kai-shek", "Making a fuss in Feiyunpu", and "Blood splattered on the Yuanyang Tower" are widely circulated and are known to everyone of all ages.
This story plays an extremely important role in the entire novel.
As long as the Ten Chapters of Wu are written, it will definitely cause a sensation in Dayu!
Moreover, the number of words in Wu Shi Chapter is not too many, so it is not tiring to write.
Jiang Han made up his mind, took out his brush and dipped it in ink.
Then, there was silence, and silence...
Silence is Cambridge tonight...
I was so naive!
I was just thinking about which book I could make money by copying, but I didn’t expect that I couldn’t remember the content of the original book at all!
Ahhhhh! What a bullshit Wu Shi Chapter! ! !
Jiang Han went crazy and put his pen on the paper.
He does remember the plot of the original work, but he can't remember the details! !
Jiang Han slumped down on his chair, like a salted fish who had lost his dream. He was not even halfway through starting a business, but the middle path collapsed!
"It would have been better if I had read "Water Margin" a few more times. Bah, I can't remember it all even if I read it a few more times!"
"I just remember that Wu Song arrived in Yanggu County... At noon that day, he was feeling hungry and thirsty. He saw a hotel in front of him, holding a flag in front of the door. On it were five words written: Three bowls are not enough. .…”
Jiang Han tried his best to think, but the next moment he stood up from the chair in surprise, his face full of surprise.
The memory in my mind was as clear as ever before, as if I had memorized "Water Margin".
But Jiang Han remembered that although he had watched Wu Shi Chapter three or four times, he still couldn't memorize it.
What's going on now? You actually remember it so clearly?
Jiang Han thought for a while and continued to recall, and found that the content of "Water Margin" seemed to have been memorized by him, and he remembered it deeply.
"What on earth is going on? I didn't have such a strong memory in my previous life? Has my memory been strengthened after traveling through time?" Jiang Han frowned, puzzled.
He tried to recall other books, and soon discovered that among the four famous works, only "Journey to the West" and "Water Margin" could be recalled, "A Dream of Red Mansions" could only recall half of them, and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" could only be recalled Only a little bit.
Jiang Han felt even weirder. After thinking about it, he took a book from the table and read two pages carefully. Then he closed the book, closed his eyes and recalled carefully, and found that the content he had just read appeared in this moment. in mind.
Every word is extremely clear.
Jiang Han opened his eyes, his face full of shock.
Damn it, photographic memory? Why is our memory so strong?
The original person definitely didn't have such a strong memory, otherwise he wouldn't have failed the Tongsheng exam after so many years.
As for himself, although his memory in his previous life was strong, he did not have the ability to remember everything.
Jiang Han was puzzled. He had tried traveling through time a few days ago. He had no system and no grandfather. So what was going on now?
The sequelae of soul penetration?
Although I don’t know what happened, one thing I’m sure of is that my memory has been strengthened.
But why do I only remember Journey to the West, Water Margin, but not Three Kingdoms in Red Mansions?
Jiang Han couldn't figure it out, but he also knew that this was a good thing.
He began to recall Wu Shi Chapter. Although there were not many words in Wu Shi Chapter, it was still difficult to copy with a brush.
But my calligraphy is ugly, so I should just practice calligraphy!
After an hour of silent writing, Jiang Han finished writing the first of the ten chapters of Wu, which is the scene where Wu Song fights the tiger.
"Wusong's Fighting the Tiger is so exciting even if I read it again. It will definitely be a killer in this world. If it doesn't become popular, just find a piece of tofu and kill it!"
After Jiang Han was silent for the second time, it was already the ugly time. He felt tired, so he put down his pen and lay down on the bed to sleep.
After sleeping until midnight in the morning, Jiang Han got up, washed, had breakfast, and then continued copying.
After writing for half an hour, he remembered the promise he made to Qin Muqing yesterday, so he stopped writing and went to the courtyard where Qin Muqing practiced martial arts.
Qin Muqing was practicing his sword. Seeing that he was still here today, he couldn't help but be surprised: "You still dare to come?"
"Why don't you dare?" Jiang Han said: "I summarized the tricks you used to deal with me yesterday. You can't knock me down so quickly today."
Qin Muqing smiled and said: "Okay! Let's give it a try! Are you ready?"
"Okay..." As soon as Jiang Han finished speaking, Qin Muqing jumped up as quickly as a cat, and kicked his shoulder with that straight and slender leg.
Damn... I don't care about martial arts... Jiang Han hurriedly raised his arms to block.
Qin Muqing was surprised that he could block his kick today, but he didn't care and knocked him to the ground with a sweeping kick.
"Come again!" Jiang Han fought and failed again and again, and fought again and again.
An hour later, Jiang Han lay on the ground and gasped: "I can't do it anymore. Let me recover my strength before talking!"
Qin Muqing smiled and said: "What a waste, can't you do it in an hour?"
Not even an hour? Jiang Han felt humiliated and said fiercely: "I will teach you a lesson this afternoon!"
"Okay!" Qin Muqing clapped his hands with a smile on his face: "Let's see who teaches whom!"
So, in the afternoon, Jiang Han and Qin Muqing had a hearty battle. In the end, Jiang Han lay on the ground like a dead fish, panting.
On the other hand, Qin Muqing's clothes were just a little messy.
"Okay, that's it for today. Come back tomorrow." Qin Muqing smiled.
When I finish practicing, I will definitely make you covered in sweat! Jiang Han said viciously in his heart.
After dinner and a shower, Jiang Han went back to the house and continued writing Wu Shi Chapter.
After a big battle with Qin Muqing today, he discovered that his memory seemed to be ridiculously strong. Not only could he easily remember the contents of the book, but he could also remember Qin Muqing's moves.
