"The vast Qiantang River flows endlessly day and night around Niujia Village in Lin'an..."
Zhang Mingwei began to explain the famous book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" which was very famous in later generations. The reason was that it was very suitable for people of this era.
The beginning of this story is when Zhang Shishi, a northerner, told "The Martyrdom of Ye Sanjie" in Niujia Village, Lin'an. He mainly said that the Jin soldiers were brutal and the people were in poverty. They would rather be peace dogs than people in troubled times.
Many people in the Zhang family actually feel the same way about this story. The last years of Chongzhen were so similar to the era in the story. The rogue thieves, the built captives, and the officers and soldiers were all like bandits, which really made them afraid to recall.
At this time, listening to Zhang Mingwei's story, he naturally felt resentment towards the troubled times and admiration for the brave woman. Even Zhu Yuluo, who has no similar experience, can find a point of resonance, which is his admiration for Sister Ye.
When she heard Sister Ye draw her sword to kill the golden general, she even turned around to look at Fei Zhen'e. I just sigh in my heart, one is a success and the other is a failure. But the whole thing is also a tragedy.
Zhang Mingwei kept talking, and everyone had planned to cheer him up. However, the beginning of the story was a heavy one, and as they felt the same way, they immediately became involved and immediately forgot to cheer.
In the entire lobby, there was only one voice, Zhang Mingwei, telling the story in ups and downs with the emotional ups and downs required for the story.
"...My eldest brother is dead. I will rescue my sister-in-law no matter what, and preserve the flesh and blood of the Guo family. If God is merciful, you and I will still see each other in the future..."
When he talked about how Yang Tiexin had no choice but to abandon his pregnant wife when he saw the officers and soldiers chasing after him in order to rescue his sister-in-law and preserve the flesh and blood of the Guo family for his sworn brother, he stopped and told the story that everyone was calling for a beating. As the saying goes: "If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time!"
"..." Everyone was listening intently, but suddenly everything stopped. Suddenly, a large group of people forgot that this storyteller was the Duke of the country, and no one wanted to do it.
Of course, it was Zhu Yuluo who took the lead, so she quickly asked: "Sir, what happens next? Did Yang Tiexin find Li and rescue her?"
"Yes, sir, where is Bao Xiruo? Has he fallen into the hands of the army?" Fei Zhen'e also followed and hurriedly asked what she was most concerned about.
Others also wanted to ask more questions, but it was Zhu Yuluo who spoke first, and they came to their senses. The people in front of them were a Duke, a master, and a princess. They had no right to speak.
So, although they stopped talking, they all pricked their ears and wanted to hear the Duke's answer, because they were also concerned about the questions raised by the Princess and the others.
However, Zhang Mingwei spread his hands and said, "I've already said it. If you want to know what happened next time, let's listen to the explanation next time!"
"..." When everyone heard this, they were all speechless.
At this time, I wonder if they would step forward to extract a confession if they had a blade in hand.
"Okay, let's go, let's go!" Zhang Mingwei was irresponsible, clapped his hands, stood up and left, leaving a bunch of audience members dumbfounded.
After a while, Zhu Yuluo and three others chased Zhang Mingwei. Others had no choice but to leave and keep doing whatever they were supposed to be doing.
The people of the Ming Dynasty certainly despised the cowardice of the former Song Dynasty and their groveling in the face of foreigners. This story is also related to "The Complete Story of Yue" and "Water Margin" which were very popular in the late Ming Dynasty, and it is even more popular.
Therefore, in twos and threes, they couldn't help but speculate on this story.
Let’s not talk about them, let’s talk about Zhu Yuluo chasing Zhang Mingwei and returning to the study.
Before they could speak, Zhang Mingwei smiled at them and said, "How about this story? If it is serialized, will it be attractive?"
When they came over, Zhu Yuluo and others had already thought of it, so when they heard it, they all nodded and said: "It must be attractive. Just now everyone thought that Mr. would tell all the subsequent stories!"
"But sir..." Zhu Yuluo had calmed down at this time and said to Zhang Mingwei with some doubts, "What should I do after this story is finished? Is there anything else?"
Zhang Mingwei laughed when he heard it, and immediately replied: "After telling this story, this story can be told for at least a few years. How can it be finished? Even if it is finished, I still have many more stories here. Not only this kind of story, but also There are monsters, monsters, science fiction, including the starry sky, etc. Do you want to hear about it?"
"Think!" Upon hearing this, the three women almost responded in unison.
In this era, entertainment activities are really scarce. Listening to and reading stories is the most important way. Now, Zhang Mingwei has proven that the stories he tells are audible, so of course they are very curious and want to hear other stories that they seem to have never heard of.
"But I don't have time to talk!"
Sometimes, Zhang Mingwei really deserves a beating. No, after hearing his words, the three women all had the urge to beat him.
When Zhang Mingwei saw him, he didn't care about being beaten by these three women. He just said with emotion: "When the Ming Dynasty is restored, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. At that time, I think I will become the king of stories. Hehe, when the time comes, we Ming people will have a good time. It opens your eyes to the fact that there are so many stories!”
Hearing this, the three women couldn't help but look forward to it, and each of them hoped that that day would come soon.
Thinking like this, they put away other thoughts.
Among them, Zhu Yuyao said to Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, this story is very good. If the follow-up is as exciting as this, it can be told for several years. Then many people will definitely buy this story. Even if you don't have money, you can still listen to it. Others say."
"I can only say that this story has just begun, and the excitement is yet to come!" Zhang Mingwei seduce the curiosity of the three women in front of him a little bit, and then said seriously, "I can guarantee that every time the newspaper is printed, There is such a story. In addition, other content is also required, such as poems and songs, which must be of high quality. In addition, in the early days of running a newspaper, you can even issue rewards, such as couplets, and collect stories and anecdotes. Weird things, etc., if accepted, you can pay royalties..."
In one breath, Zhang Mingwei explained many future methods for running a newspaper and promoting the newspaper. Once again, the three women in front of him were dumbfounded.
They never expected that they would have so many methods. If they really used them all, everyone would definitely know about this newspaper!
Thinking of this, they all looked at Zhang Mingwei a little differently. There is even an idea to open Zhang Mingwei's head to see how many good things are stored in it. How can there be so many ideas?
After talking for a while, Zhang Mingwei finally finished what he wanted to say. Then he looked at Zhu Yuyao and said: "In terms of political affairs, if you want to comment, I will write this first and give an example, and then you can write it as I do." . Needless to say about the serialized story.”
After Zhu Yuyao nodded, he looked at Chen Yuanyuan and said: "With your talent, you must have no problem with poetry and poetry, and you are also sure of the current scholarly atmosphere, so you have to control this content yourself. Some loyal ministers The deeds of good generals must also be adapted and publicized, such as Sun Chengzong’s entire family fighting against the rebels and dying for the country, Lu Xiangsheng serving the country with loyalty, etc. Then he must be responsible for the printing of the entire newspaper.”
Before Chen Yuanyuan could reply, Zhang Mingwei added: "Also, in terms of opera storytelling, you can see how to adapt the story. Once the newspaper starts to do it first, then a special organization should be established, and more talents will be needed. , anyone you can recommend can be recommended. This matter is very important, you will be very busy in the future!"
"I'm not afraid!" After hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan was not afraid of the trouble at all. Instead, she quickly replied with joy.
However, after hearing this, Zhu Ainao said hesitantly: "Sir, why don't you tell your father about such an important matter and let the imperial court come forward? That would be more reasonable!"
After Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "No, after we develop first, others will definitely imitate. By then, there will be many like this. And when that time comes, the imperial court will set up a special yamen to come here. Never mind this. All publications and dissemination of newspapers, operas, including stories, must be reviewed by this yamen first, and can only be allowed after passing the review!"
Regulation of the media is very necessary. Otherwise, under the trend of interests, there will be all kinds of monsters and monsters, which will seriously affect the world's values and outlook on life!
When Zhu Ainao heard what he said, she had no objection.
So next, Zhang Mingwei mainly helped Chen Yuanyuan set up the preliminary work. From scratch to something, it was a really busy few days.
When the first newspaper was about to come out, Zhang Mingwei went to Emperor Chongzhen to name it and asked for an inscription. With this endorsement, you can definitely save a lot of publicity expenses.
Of course Emperor Chongzhen would not refuse, because he already knew from Zhu Yuluo what role this newspaper played in reviving the Ming Dynasty. Without saying anything, he immediately inscribed the name: "Ming Pao"
Zhang Mingwei was a little dumbfounded by this, Ming Pao?
Emperor Chongzhen said very matter-of-factly: "Isn't this the newspaper of the Ming Dynasty? Therefore, it is called the Ming Newspaper, and it also means that the people of the Ming Dynasty can understand things. Sir, do you think there is a problem?"
"No, no problem!" After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei quickly denied, "Just call it Ming Pao. Your Majesty got it very appropriately!"
Could it still be inappropriate? This "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is also related to some extent.
Just like that, there are the emperor's inscriptions, current political news and comments, as well as poetry appreciation, serialization of stories, and prizes have been collected. So many attractive elements, it stands to reason that it should detonate the capital at once.
However, this is not the case, and the reason is that Zhang Mingwei shot himself in the foot!
