Asking for help? Tang Ping asked curiously: "What kind of help are you asking for?"
"That's it..." Li Chengqian told Tang Ping his purpose.
It turns out that Datang Weekly has published several issues now, and both the current affairs page at the front and the advertising page at the back have been welcomed by everyone.
But the problem was the Gonzo version.
Li Chengqian followed Tang Ping's teachings and conducted a special poll.
As a result, the feedback I received was that people felt that the gonzo aspect was not strange or interesting enough.
Tang Ping thought about it and realized that this was his negligence.
There was no Internet in this era, and there were no so-called journalists.
Therefore, there are very few sources of anecdotes in Datang Weekly. They can only write what the people at the printing office heard and wrote. Naturally, the quality cannot be improved.
"In that case, why don't I give you two storybooks?" Tang Ping thought about the special agricultural tourism he was planning to develop. Didn't he plan to invite two storytellers to tell the story?
In this case, it is better to get your name out first, and wait until people in Chang'an like your storybook, and then promote it, saying that the book mentioned here is also written by you, but it is not serialized in Datang Weekly. If you want to hear the story , we can only go to Xiahe Village, so that we can attract a group of tourists to ourselves.
"Script?" Li Chengqian had never heard of this.
You must know that scripts actually only began to appear and become popular in the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Do you know about Sou Shen Ji? It's similar to that one!" Tang Ping explained. Sou Shen Ji was a book written in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It wasn't long ago and it was still very popular in society for a while.
Later, in the Tang Dynasty, many legendary stories actually had some traces of Sou Shen Ji.
And Li Chengqian happened to be a fan of Sou Shen Ji. After hearing what Tang Ping said, he felt no longer sleepy.
"Can my cousin write a book like Sou Shen Ji?"
Naturally, he had no doubts about Tang Ping's ability, and Tang Ping's literary name was widely circulated throughout the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect that Tang Ping could write such a story.
Of course you can't write it if you ask Tang Ping to write it. A book can be hundreds of thousands of words at least. How long will it take for him to write it? So just find the vernacular version of ancient times and throw it to Li Chengqian.
But what book to give first?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Tang Ping thought about it and suddenly saw Xuanzang. Why had he forgotten this book?
Journey to the West with Xuanzang as one of the protagonists!
You have to read this book more deeply, as it may contain some criticism of feudalism.
But if you want to just watch and have fun, then who wasn’t attracted to Sun Houhou as a child?
Tang Ping felt that if he released a copy of Journey to the West first, it would be welcomed by everyone.
So he suppressed his laughter and said, "How about I tell you a story about a monkey?"
It was already dinner time, so Tang Ping took a few people back to his courtyard as a matter of course.
Seeing a few more people, Xiaoluo went to add two more dishes.
Anyway, I recently taught the women in the village how to cook, and I have plenty of ingredients, so I can cook two new dishes quickly.
When everyone arrived, Tang Ping started to tell his story while eating.
"Speaking of which, after Nuwa mended the sky, she left a piece of the sky-mending stone, which fell on..."
Of course Tang Ping remembered the story of Journey to the West and told it while eating. By the time he finished eating, he had just finished talking about how Sun Wukong went to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to borrow the Dinghai Needle.
"Okay, let's stop here first!" Tang Ping stretched and it was time for a nap.
As a result, Li Chengqian grabbed his wrist and said, "How could my cousin do this? We're only halfway through!"
"That's right, you are so young, why should you take a nap?" Duan Lun stopped doing it and listened to it wonderfully.
The Xianyue Sanxing Cave and the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave were described vividly by Tang Ping. How could he take a nap at this time?
Then Tang Ping took a look. Although Lao Cui and Lao Du didn't speak, they were already standing at the door with Li Bai, who was dragging the chubby little boy, and they were vaguely blocking the door.
Xiao Luo also looked at herself with that pitiful look.
Is this the so-called real-life physical reminder method?
Tang Ping had no choice but to sit down and continue talking.
This lecture talks about having dinner after dark.
"It is said that there was a monk in the Eastern Tang Dynasty whose real surname was Chen and whose Buddhist name was Xuanzang..."
At this point, everyone looked at Xuanzang in surprise. Even he himself did not expect that he would appear in the story.
but
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He just smiled and said nothing more.
Then Xuanzang left the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and met Sun Wukong at the foot of the mountain. He removed the verses left by Tathagata Buddha and set Sun Wukong free.
"Okay, I can't talk anymore!" Tang Ping pointed pitifully at his own throat: "Listen... ha... ha... do you hear me? You're mute, so just let me go, okay?"
After all, Xiao Luo felt pity for her young master: "Then young master, I will make you some pear soup to moisten your throat at night."
"Yes, yes!" Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Cousin, take good care of your voice, and then we will listen again tomorrow!"
He is worthy of being the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Capitalists will cry when they see this realization.
"I can't talk, I can't talk, I..." Tang Ping pointed at Duan Lun and said as if he was grasping a life-saving straw: "I have to go to work at the Ministry of Industry tomorrow, really!"
After saying that, he ran into the small warehouse at the back and threw a vernacular version of Journey to the West that he ordered online to Li Chengqian: "This is the first volume, take it and publish it first!"
Li Chengqian was naturally overjoyed to see that there were still books. In any case, he could take a sneak peek tonight.
After flipping through it casually, Li Chengqian asked in confusion: "Cousin, why is this book written by Wu Chengen?"
"It's indeed Wu Cheng'en, let's go, let's go!"
Tang Ping drove them away directly. He originally told them about Journey to the West on a whim, but he didn't expect to be forced to do so much more.
With the book in hand, Li Chengqian was satisfied, so he went back and asked the printing office to put the first two chapters on this weekly newspaper, and then he could read the rest slowly.
On the carriage back to the city, Duan Lun asked: "How come Yinshan Hou said that Wu Chengen wrote this book?"
Li Chengqian shrugged and said, "Who knows, the person who writes articles always has some quirks. Maybe my cousin doesn't want people to know that he wrote it."
They thought, since Xuanzang is included in the story, how could it be done by someone else? Xuanzang is now just a little-known monk from a small temple.
As for the stories in the book about the Tang Dynasty royal family who sent Xuanzang to retrieve the Western Scriptures, it probably wouldn’t work if written by someone else, but it was written by Tang Ping, so what’s the point of making up a story using his own family members?
Even if Li Shimin knew about it, he wouldn't have any objections.
