Nan Yi, who lives in a small county town, is not yet aware of the subtleties of the officialdom and spiritual world in this world.
He only adheres to the simple spirit of "plan ahead", prepares in advance, and plans things to become famous in advance.
In the short term, focusing on comic strips related to direct depiction skills, the literati and celebrities in Nanshan County were pulled into the same warship and moved forward together.
In the mid-term, we will see whether "The Legend of Two Dragons", which is different from the traditional martial arts novels in this world, can become popular in circles other than literati based on the story itself. If not, use some hype methods to try to get the book up and running.
As for the long-term plan, Nan Yi hasn't thought about it that much for the time being.
You must make mid-term and long-term plans based on the specific conditions of the academy after you enter the academy.
However, as for comic books, Nan Yi was left to Zhou Qing and Zhu Xian, and he could be the hands-on shopkeeper.
As for the novel, Xie Beihe is responsible for the distribution and promotion of Ming Pao.
Then, Nan Yi also wanted to hand over the content production to Doan Dian to ghostwrite it.
After New Year's Day, in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, Nan Yi, in the name of keeping filial piety, thanked guests behind closed doors, and directly refused to give opportunities to those in Nanshan County who wanted to approach him as matchmakers.
He hid in his dormitory, and after hard work, he finally succeeded in getting Diandian to understand his writing style and be able to take on the responsibility of ghostwriting.
Then, Diandian wrote ten thousand words a day and wrote eighteen more chapters of "The Legend of Two Dragons in the Great Li".
Diandian was chewing copper coins while watching Nan Yi draw illustrations.
With some ghostwriters sharing the work, Nan Yi had a lot of free time, and the illustrations became more complicated. Although it has not yet become a complete cartoon, there are pictures every few episodes, which can be said to be rich in pictures and text.
Diandian asked in confusion: "Master, isn't the saved manuscript enough for "Ming Pao" to publish? Why are you so anxious to update so many chapters in advance?"
Nan Yi explained: "This is to prepare for the future. At present, "The Legend of Two Dragons" is not famous enough, there are not many people urging it to be updated, and sales are slow, so it can be updated slowly, every ten days."
"But when the name becomes famous in the future, and some people are even willing to give rewards to urge updates, we can change the ten-day journal to a half-month journal or even a daily journal. Therefore, the more manuscripts you save, the better."
"Ah, daily journal? This is too fast." Diandian was shocked and felt the small shock of the update.
"It's not fast. I plan to write 1.8 million words, 5,000 words per chapter, totaling 360 chapters. Even if it is published in a daily magazine, it will take a year to publish it all."
"Ah, 1.8 million? This is too long!" Diandian then felt shocked by the small number of words.
"It's not much. Yang Kang and Guo Jing are two male protagonists who advance the plot. It's a long story. It should take so many words to write it all."
The original works of The Condor and The Condor are both about 1.2 million words. Nan Yi connected the plots of the two books together, omitting some irrelevant branches, and the book is almost 1.8 million words long.
"But, no one has written such a long novel before and updated it so quickly?" Diandian murmured.
"It didn't happen before, that's because I wasn't here. Now, I'm here." Nan Yi smiled slightly.
For some reason, looking at the smile on Nan Yi's face, she shivered and felt like her body was about to be rolled into a ball.
…………
On the other side, Song Zhong's father, Song Yushu, is currently applying to Bi Shengke for transfer, hoping to be transferred to the county's Nantian City, even if his salary is reduced.
Bi Shengke didn't want to let him go so much, and said: "I remember, Yushu, your son ranked second in Nanshan Academy's annual exam this year. Why not let him repeat the year and win the first place in next year's annual exam?"
"When you were transferred to Nanshan County and competed at different times, wasn't it just to let your children win the first place in the annual exam? Why have you changed your mind now?"
Song Yushu was only a minor official and his official position was not high.
But in the county government, most of the time, it is the petty officials who do the real work.
Bi Shengke knew this very well and wanted to try to let Song Yushu stay for one more year.
Song Yushu, however, had decided to leave.
Although he didn't know that the academy was an immortal sect, after learning about the existence of mysterious things, Song Yushu had new guesses about many things that originally seemed ordinary.
For example, on New Year's Day, Bi Shengke gave a speech on the occasion of Beiheju's relocation and renaming it to Kaiming Library.
If it were normal, Song Yushu would only think that Bi Shengke was seriously optimistic about Kaiming Library's implementation of "enlightened education and free learning."
But now, Song Yushu felt that Bi Shengke knew that Nan Yi was a stranger and was trying to give Nan Yi face, so he went to support Kaiming Library.
Since even the county magistrate is cheering for Nan Yi, then Nan Yi should be regarded as a genuine nobleman with a bright future.
It so happened that Song Zhong had a good relationship with Nan Yi at the moment, so Song Yushu naturally followed Nan Yi firmly to the county town to prevent Song Zhong from becoming estranged from Nan Yi in the future.
Seeing that Song Yushu was very determined to go, Bi Shengke had no choice but to say: "Although it is easy to apply for a transfer at the same level, if you want to be transferred to a county town instead of an ordinary county town, the result will not be available for a while, and you will have to wait in line for a while. "
"In the meantime, you'd better not slack off in your work at the county government."
Bi Shengke wanted Song Yushu to exert his last remaining heat in Nanshan County before being transferred.
But Song Yushu nodded and said, "There is one more thing, I hope Master Bi will approve it."
"At the end of last year, my mother passed away. It was just that the annual exam was approaching and I didn't want to affect the dog's exam, so she was not buried after the coffin."
"I want to send my mother back to her hometown for burial, and then keep her mourning for three months. I hope Mr. Bi will make it happen."
Song Yushu came to see Bi Shengke today, just hoping that Bi Shengke would not delay his application for transfer to the county pastoral order supervisor.
He didn't expect that he would get a transfer to the county seat anytime soon. Even if Song Yushu is willing to lower his salary, it is impossible to take his turn immediately after the new year.
But as long as Bi Shengke doesn't drag him through the process of applying for a salary transfer at the same level, Song Yushu is confident that he will no longer stay in Nanshan County after the year and leave immediately.
Because he can also keep filial piety for his old mother who unfortunately died at the hands of the water-spraying woman.
Although the Dali court did not recommend that the bereaved immediately leave their posts and observe filial piety, when the bereaved prepared to observe filial piety, others had nothing to say.
Bi Shengke raised his eyelids slightly and stared at Song Yushu for a few breaths. Finally, he could only sigh helplessly: "Yushu is very filial. He is willing to take the trouble to bury the old lady back to his hometown. I will not stop him."
Song Yushu said hurriedly: "Thank you, Mr. Bi, for making it possible."
Bi Shengke nodded silently, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
Song Yushu left quickly.
But just when Song Yushu was about to leave, Bi Shengke suppressed the displeasure in his heart, realized a possibility, and asked: "By the way, what is the relationship between my nephew and the first place in this year's exam?"
Song Yushu responded: "The relationship between Quan Zi and Nan Xi is acceptable."
Bi Shengke nodded and said nothing more.
Song Yushu bowed again and officially left Bi Mansion.
After he left, Bi Shengke sighed softly: "No wonder it's like this."
After knowing that Nan Yi would become a great weapon if he had to survive the disaster, Bi Shengke did not specifically go to understand Nan Yi's past.
Because there is no need.
Bi Shengke, who was born in an academy but had no chance to practice due to lack of talent, and Nan Yi, who was destined to become a practitioner, seemed to live in two different classes.
No matter how promising Nan Yi is in the future, it has nothing to do with Bi Shengke, and it will not affect Bi Shengke's position as Nanshan county magistrate. Even if Nan Yi later becomes an official in politics, he will start as an official in the county. Will be sent to ordinary county towns.
Bi Shengke was willing to sell Nan Yi a favor, but he never thought of going out of his way to flatter Nan Yi, or even cared about Nan Yi's past.
However, Song Yushu showed a strong intention to leave and did not want to stay in Nanshan County for even one day. Although Bi Shengke was a little annoyed, it also made Bi Shengke guess that Song Yushu had developed a friendship with Nan Yi.
Bi Shengke murmured: "It depends on whether your son has the qualifications. If he doesn't have the qualifications, he is still a mortal. No matter how good the friendship is, it can't be compared to the difference between immortals and mortals."
Thinking back to those days, Bi Shengke also had close friends in Juncheng Academy who had extraordinary qualifications and entered the spiritual path.
But in the end, after becoming the magistrate of Nanshan County with the help of his good friend, Bi Shengke never saw his best friend again.
Now that I think about it, it has been twelve years since I last saw him.
