Chapter 205: A Chinese Ghost Story, The Legend of the White Snake
Horse House.
The maid hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Royal Highness, the newspaper has been delivered." ”
Li Lizhi was drinking Huazhou orange red tablets, and when she heard this, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and said, "Why is it late today, bring it to me to see." ”
After taking the newspaper, Li Lizhi just glanced at the original version, and saw that it was still about the monk's title, so she pouted slightly, turned over and looked at the back.
On the back is the entertainment and advertising version, called "A Chinese Ghost Story", which has been serialized to the fourth issue. Needless to say, it was Xu Qilin who made it up with the pen name "Lingxi One Finger".
It is said that it is made up, but it is not true. There were no movies in the Tang Dynasty, let alone similar ones, Xu Qilin's adaptation of the movie was actually original.
In order to cooperate with the public opinion offensive against the third-order religion, Xu Qilin mainly selected materials for the third part of "Dao Dao Dao", and added several passages mocking the monks.
For example, in the previous episode, the old monk met a scribe when he was turning into a relationship, and he was ridiculed for not working for food, and he also left words to insult him.
The sunset fragrance is gone, and I go to the heart of the mortal heart; The fire is cold, come and bolt the horse.
It looks like a very elegant and neat couplet, but it is actually an anagram. Li Lizhi also took a lot of thought before she guessed that the upper link contained the word "bald" and the lower link contained the word "donkey", and she couldn't help laughing.
This episode writes about the monk Shifang and Xiao Zhuo kissing and falling in love, although this moment is very short, but it exposes the true feelings of Shifang's deep depression.
"In the world, there is a law of both, and it lives up to it." Xu Qilin shamelessly plagiarized again, in order to express the entanglement of the little monk of the ten directions, and lay a foreshadowing for a happy life without shame in the future.
Li Li put down the newspaper with unfinished content, her mood was already fluctuating with the storyline, hoping that Shifang and Xiao Zhuo would have a good ending.
Alas, this is fate! Li Lizhi recalled the time when Shifang and Xiao Zhuo met, met, and got to know each other, as well as their interesting experiences from enemies to friends to lovers, and sighed heartily.
"In the world, there is a law of both, and it lives up to it." Li Lizhi muttered to herself: "The monks of the Ten Directions are in a dilemma!" ”
sighed for a long time, Li Lizhi picked up the newspaper and read it again, pursed her lips and smiled, and said in her heart that this Lingxi is a good hand at making up stories, and there are occasional golden sentences in half literature and half white, which is eye-catching. Among them, I didn't forget to mock the monk, which is really enough.
It's just that it's written too slowly, and it hangs people's appetites. Li Lizhi had the idea of complaining again, and she had to wait another five days to see the follow-up, which was really unbearable.
Just when Li Li's thoughts were flying and thinking about the west, the eldest grandson Chong Shi Ran walked in.
"What is Lang Jun holding in his hand?" Li Lizhi turned her head and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that your friends invited you to drink, and you may not be back until later?" ”
The eldest grandson laughed twice and said, "I was originally going to the drunken night building outside the city, but I happened to meet a monk to negotiate with Xu Xiaolang." I can't say anything, help him stand on his feet and cheer. sent the monk away, and by the way, he mentioned the previous matter. It happened that the things had been prepared, so I took them back to the lady first. ”
As he spoke, the eldest grandson Chong opened the box, first took out a poem written in thick ink, and gave the princess a flattering explanation, "The lady doesn't like that poem, this is the whole article." ”
Li Lizhi looked at it with a flash, but it was Xu Qilin's round, multi-force handwriting.
"Strong and strong, but also sharp, Xu Xiaolang's calligraphy has made great progress!" Li Lizhi praised, opened her lips and chanted, "Thousands of miles of warblers cry green and red, and the water village mountain Guo wine flag wind." There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. ”
After savoring the artistic conception in the poem, Li Li praised the first jaw and said, "In just a few sentences, the delicate and hazy beauty of the south of the Yangtze River has been painted, and then the poetry has turned, not only to write the beautiful scenery, but also to be nostalgic, wonderful!" ”
The eldest grandson Chong put his arm around his beloved wife's shoulders and admired it together, and also echoed with fun, "Lu Yuxian is extremely talented, but it's a pity that I can't see it, it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”
Li Lizhi also sighed, and said, "According to my father's love for talent, if Lu Yuxian is a good man, it is not an exaggeration to enter the court." It's a pity that the monks regard fame and fortune as dung, and they will not be willing to do so. ”
Eldest Sun Chong nodded in agreement, guessed and said, "According to a certain opinion, Lu Yuxian and Xu Xiaolang should have correspondence. It's just that idle clouds and wild cranes are wandering in all directions, and Xu Xiaolang is afraid that he may not know the exact whereabouts of his division. ”
"Although Immortal Lu Yu is a monk, his enthusiasm for benefiting the world is still there." Li Li said, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "You just said that the monk went to Xu Xiaolang to negotiate the theory, but he wanted to make trouble?" ”
"It's okay to say it's a troublemaker." The eldest grandson Chong said with a smile, "Seeing that there is a lot of public opinion in the "Voice of the People" newspaper, but it has set off a trend in more than a month, and the monk has also printed some paper and distributed it everywhere, but it has little effect, so he also wants to refute the pollution through the newspaper. ”
"Then Xu Xiaolang will definitely not agree." Li Lizhi shook her head with a smile and said, "It is precisely at the juncture of the pursuit of victory, how can you let Shamen win back public opinion?" ”
The eldest grandson smiled at him, caressed his beloved wife, and said, "The lady is wrong, then Xu Xiaolang really agreed to leave a small page for Shamen." ”
Oh, Li Lizhi looked at her husband in shock.
The eldest grandson took two sips of the tea bowl as if he were selling it, and then said slowly, "However, Xu Xiaolang has the conditions. You can publish in the newspaper, and you can buy it with money. ”
Looking at his wife's confused eyes, the eldest grandson laughed and said, "Ten times in the first phase, Xu Xiaolang is really rich!" ”
Is there a lot of money? Li Liqian, as the eldest princess, is clothed and fed, and she really doesn't know the specific value of the ten yuan.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Li Li said, "Xu Xiaolang can agree, presumably because he feels that he has the chance to win." Anyway, his original intention was not to target the entire Shamen, the third-order sect, he would definitely not let them speak through the newspaper. ”
The eldest grandson Chong agreed: "What the lady said is very true. If it is to attack the entire Shamen, I am afraid that the imperial court will not allow it. ”
"Don't talk about that." Li Lizhi took the newspaper, pointed to the signature on it and said, "If you have time, ask Xu Xiaolang, let this Lingxi finish the story quickly, don't drag it out like this." ”
The eldest grandson grinned secretly, saying that people still rely on this to attract the public, as long as the story is popular, the longer it drags on, the better. Thinking like this in his heart, the eldest grandson Chong still happily agreed.
He reached out and took out a strange-looking thing from the box, as well as a piece of paper, and said to Li Liqing, "This is made according to Xu Xiaolang's recipe, called 'Ding Panyan'." Xu Xiaolang repeatedly told that this medicine contains foreign goldenrod, and the smoke is slightly toxic, and it is best not to use it when it is not an acute attack, and it should be used in small amounts. ”
Li Lizhi took the cigarette pouch pot, fiddled with it curiously, and asked, "How to use it?" If it is called smoke, is it lit and smelled? ”
The eldest grandson hurriedly followed the instructions, "Put this in your mouth, put the processed medicine in this copper pot, light it, and smoke it." Not just in the mouth, but into the body, and then slowly spit out. ”
Li Lizhi held the cigarette pouch and pot in her mouth, and studied decently according to her husband's teachings. She didn't know how weird and funny a young woman's smoking bag was.
……………
There are still stories about teasing monks, but Xu Qilin thinks about it, it is interesting and can be serialized in a long form, as if "The Legend of the White Snake" is the most suitable.
Fahai, how bad, how spicy and beautiful Zhao Ya, press the white lady under the tower, and destroy people's happy families.
Of course, Xu Qilin didn't want to write it himself, he wanted to find a ghostwriter and a gunman.
"After listening to the synopsis of the story, you can process and polish it, well, it is to write longer, or in the form of half text and half white." Xu Qilin gave a face-to-face lecture to several trolls, including Li Wenhao.
"Dare to ask Xu Cheng." A scribe arched his hand and said, "Is the manuscript about Shamen still published?" ”
"The publication is also published, and the number can be appropriately reduced. Moreover, it is necessary to maintain the current style and limits, be tepid, and not be too fierce in words. Xu Qilin said, "If Huayanzong wants to publish in the newspaper, let them publish it." If you start a debate, you can also attract readers! ”
His Majesty Li Er's reply has arrived, and he will return to the capital in a few months, and then it will be time to ban the third-order sect.
The goal has been achieved, and Xu Qilin is not too much for himself. This first phase of the battle has been won by a great victory, and there is no need to push Shamen too much. He still has something to do, and he can't keep his energy on it.
Although Xu Qilin did not reveal the news behind the scenes, there are still smart people, and from his actions and words, it can be seen that the preparation of public opinion has been basically completed, and it can be transferred to other hot topics.
"Xu Cheng, the imperial examination is about to start, can you pay attention to this topic?" Li Wenhao asked.
The college entrance examination is about to start, which is a big thing for readers.
Xu Qilin nodded and expressed his appreciation, "This suggestion is very good, and it can be a new hot spot." In fact, like street news, if it is more novel and interesting, it can also be published. For example, the Oiran event is very interesting! Those little ladies are talented and good-looking, and they must be happy to be publicized in the newspapers. You can go to an interview and talk to them about this ideal, life. ”
Several of the trolls were young people, and they all laughed when they heard this, looked at each other, and understood.
"Okay, that's all I have to say." Xu Qilin waved his hand and said, "I am busy with official business, this newspaper will be handed over to you, and I will have a future if I do it." Well, let's disperse! ”
Everyone dispersed, and Xu Qilin turned around and went back to the house. During this time, he mostly lived outside the city, and there was no curfew, which made him feel more convenient.
The two commercial streets outside the city are also becoming more and more lively, many people come here to eat, drink and have fun, stay in hotels at night, or stay overnight in Qinglou, chic and happy.
Yichun Courtyard is a long-term vision and takes the lead; Seeing that the business is booming, there are also Cuihong Mansion and Xiangli Pavilion rental houses, which are red and beautiful, adding spring color to the commercial street.
When I returned to the study, it was almost dusk, but Scarlett and Adjani were not there, and they had not yet returned from the shop.
Xu Qilin is exercising these two girls, mainly Scarlett, learning to do business with Shopkeeper Chen in the shop. This girl's math is already good, and she can do it in daily bookkeeping and accounting.
Sitting in the study, Xu Qilin was waiting for Scarlett to come back and eat together, took the materials, and flipped through them.
This is Helan Chushi's report, Luoyang's Dayingku branch has been built, and sugar, weaving and other workshops are also seventy-seven eighty-eight, asking for some more people to be sent over.
The sugarcane in the south is about to be harvested, and according to the agreement with Feng An, the raw materials transported can double the sugar production.
As for the weaving workshop, Xu Qilin felt that he was not in a hurry. The wool used as raw material is mainly transported from the northwest, and Chang'an is the most convenient processing factory.
Moreover, the climate in the south does not have a lot of demand for wool products, and the market is mainly in the bitter cold of the northeast, northwest and north.
When the cotton cloth is spun, it is common to the north and the south, suitable for all ages. Durable and strong, it will be loved by the people.
But Xu Qilin has found a commodity that can almost be traded with grain in the south, and that is Hedong salt.
You know, the most famous and oldest salt lake in China is the Hedong Salt Pond. Later, because of the establishment of Yuncheng, it was named Yuncheng Salt Pond. The salt produced by it is called "Jie Salt", "Big Salt" and "Lu Salt".
Hedong salt is made of water brine by exposure to sunlight, with white color and positive taste, few impurities, and is one of the famous salt-producing areas in the country. As a result, "out of Qinlong in the west, Fan Deng in the south, Yan Dynasty in the North Pole, and Zhou and Song Dynasty in the east", the market is very wide.
For thousands of years, Hedong salt ponds have played an important role in China's salt production, and in its glory days, salt taxes alone accounted for one-eighth of the country's fiscal revenue.
It was not until the middle of the Qing Dynasty that the salt production capacity of Hedong salt ponds declined rapidly due to the desalination of brine, and the production and transportation costs of sea salt were reduced, and it gradually withdrew from the stage of salt production.
If the current salt production method is still followed, the salt produced is bitter and the value is not high, and Xu Qilin's ability will not be revealed.
And he originally only purified a small amount of salt for his own appetite, if a factory was built for large-scale production, how could the price of refined salt be comparable to bitter salt?
After Xu Qilin's rough calculation, when the woolen goods are sold in winter, not to mention how much money can be made, His Majesty Li Er's investment will definitely be recovered.
The white sugar and rock sugar are all profits, plus the messy income, there are almost 60,000 or 70,000 yuan.
This year is just the beginning, and raw materials, labor, equipment, etc., are not sufficient. In addition, it is groping for production, and it is necessary to continuously improve, and it is normal for the output to be not high.
It will be different next year, with the expansion of scale, the rapid increase in personnel, and the abundance of raw materials, according to Xu Qilin's calculations, it is also promising to quadruple.
Even the "People's Voice" has the momentum of turning losses into profits, as long as it is properly managed, it will continue to innovate and attract more readers.
Xu Qilin seized the time, wrote and counted bit by bit, finished the work plan, and arranged the responsible officials properly.
There was no way, as soon as His Majesty Li Er received the advice of Caoyun reform, he showed an extremely urgent mood. Urge Xu Qilin to arrange his work, hurry up to investigate, and put the comprehensive reform strategy on the court as soon as possible.
