Chapter 399: The Legend of the Great Ming Heroes

Li Feibai said again: "Uncle Guo, do you think that if you propose to the Holy Lord to enshrine your ancestors in the Taimiao, will the Holy Lord agree?" ”

Guo Xun thought about it for a long time, and said, "No!" ”

Li Feibai said: "What if the reason is sufficient? ”

Guo Xun said: "How can there be a sufficient reason? ”

Li Feibai said: "Everyone in the world thinks that your ancestors' merits are the same as those of the six kings, and you can enjoy the Taimiao, will the saints agree!" ”

Guo Xun did not hesitate and said, "That will definitely happen!" After speaking, he said discouragedly, "But the little merit that my ancestor set up, how can it be compared with the six kings, otherwise it would not only be a marquis, not even a duke, let alone a king." ”

Li Feibai said: "If Uncle Guo really wants his ancestors to enjoy the Taimiao, I have a way!" ”

Guo Xun was ecstatic and said, "What can you do?" ”

Li Feibai said: "But this method costs some silver. ”

Asking people to do things, how can it not cost money. What's more, it costs money to do such a big thing as making offerings to the ancestors to the Taimiao.

Guo Xun said: "How much silver does it cost?" ”

Li Feibai said: "I think I have to spend at least 100,000 taels of silver in the early stage!" ”

Guo Xun said: "As long as I can let my ancestors make offerings to the Taimiao, not to mention 100,000 taels of silver, 1 million taels of silver, 10 million taels of silver is not a problem!" Tell me, what is the solution? ”

It's no wonder that he is so excited, as long as Guo Ying can be enshrined in the Taimiao, his ancestors are eighteen generations, and he will praise him for his ability.

And, good for him, too.

Speaking of hypocrisy, this is such a thing that makes others envy and gives him face.

To tell the truth, his ancestors are all worshipping in the Taimiao, can the saint treat him badly? This ruler will certainly go up, and there will be no shortage of rewards.

Li Feibai said: "Uncle Guo is the person who compiled the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I want to ask one thing, the people in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as Liu Bei is really so benevolent, Guan Yu is really so righteous, Zhang Fei can really drink the flowing water backwards?" Can Zhuge Liang really pinch and calculate? Is Cao Cao really that despicable? ”

Guo Xun said: "That's not likely! After a pause, he added, "Romance and romance are always mixed with exaggeration and fiction. ”

Li Feibai said: "Then why do almost all people think that Liu Bei is really that benevolent, Guan Yu is really so righteous, Zhang Fei is really so fierce, and Zhuge Liang can really pinch and calculate?" Is Cao Cao really that despicable? ”

Guo Xun said: "Xu is that the Three Kingdoms are too far away from us, and people don't like to read history books but like to listen to commentaries, and if they listen to it too much, they believe that what is said in the romance is true!" ”

Li Feibai said with a smile: "The six kings and Guo Shuzu are also far away from us, and the people of the Ming Dynasty don't like to read history books, if someone tells them now, Guo Shuzu is also the same as the six kings, and has made immortal contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Ming Dynasty have heard a lot, and they will naturally believe it to be true, and the saint will not be embarrassed at that time, but will be very happy to let Guo Shuzu go to the temple worthy of it!" ”

Guo Xun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped his thigh and said, "You are really my savior!" How is it that you can come up with this solution, but I can't? That's right! It seems that I have to start compiling a book similar to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is called the Biography of the Ming Heroes, focusing on the merits of my ancestors! ”

Li Feibai said: "My method is similar to what Uncle Guo said, but it is different from what Uncle Guo said. If it is really just to compile the biography of the heroes and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty, it will only cost 10,000 taels of silver at most, so why do you need 100,000 taels of silver! ”

Guo Xun let out an "oh" and said, "Since your method costs a lot of money, it must be better than mine, tell me what the method is?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Do Daming Daily!" ”

Guo Xun was stunned and said, "What's the matter with Daming?" What the hell is this? ”

Li Feibai said: "Daily! Similar to the monthly newspaper issued by the imperial court, but it is issued every day! ”

Guo Xun still didn't hear or understand, and said: "The major events that happened in the imperial court can be remembered clearly in a monthly newspaper, and if you run a daily newspaper, what major events can be published." Besides, what does this have to do with my ancestors' deserving of the Taimiao! ”

Li Feibai said: "The relationship is big!" He said: "Uncle Guo, how long does it take for you to find someone to compile the biography of the heroes and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Guo Xun said: "If it is fast, it will be one or two years, and if it is slow, it will be three or five years!" ”

Li Feibai said: "After compilation, how long will it take to print?" ”

Guo Xun said: "It will take one or two years." ”

Li Feibai said: "After it is printed, you have to ship it to all provinces, governments and counties to sell and buy, and it will take a few more years. When this book has an impact among the people, it will take several years to understand that Guo Shuzu has made great contributions. I remember, Uncle Guo seems to have said that it may take ten or twenty years for the saint to do the matter of the six kings deserving of the Taimiao? But this is slow, if the saint has to do this in three or five years, does Uncle Guo think he can keep up with the time? ”

Guo Xun is silent! In this way, it really can't keep up with the time!

Li Feibai then said: "Time doesn't wait for me, the opportunity is fleeting, and there will be no such shop after this village!" ”

Guo Xun said: "Could it be that if you run a Daming Daily, you can keep up with it in terms of time?" ”

Li Feibai said: "That's nature! He also explained, "You have to compile a book from beginning to end before it can be published." Running a newspaper is different, you can print it if you write a chapter, or even write a thousand words and 800 words, and you can distribute it after printing. If you are close to the capital, you can see it on the same day, and if you are far away from the capital, you can see it the next day. ”

Guo Xun thought about it again and again, and said, "That's right!" So Daming Daily mainly publishes the biography of the Ming martyrs? It is distributed to each county through the post station every day, and it is read by the officials? It is also a way, first influencing the officials, and then the officials will influence the people! However, the counties of the Ming Dynasty add up to only two or three thousand, even if it is printed every day, and the entire Ming Dynasty heroic martyrs are published, it seems that it will not take 100,000 taels of silver! ”

Li Feibai said: "Uncle Guo, take a long-term view, and be content to print two or three thousand copies a day?" If you want to print millions of copies, anyone who is literate can get it for free! ”

Guo Xun smacked his tongue. A single print is worth millions of copies, and although it can affect millions of people at once, the cost is also very large. Don't say that 100,000 taels is not enough, and 100,000 taels is not necessarily enough! It's hard to do it, in order to carry the ancestors to the Taimiao, it really costs tens of millions of taels of silver!

He muttered, "There's no need to print a million copies!" How much does that cost? ”

Li Feibai said: "It doesn't cost much, about hundreds of thousands of taels are enough, if things go well, a virtuous circle will be formed." As long as you are on the right track, not only can you quickly earn back the initial investment, but you will be profitable in less than a year! ”

Guo Xun's eyes widened and said, "Can you still make money by running Daming Daily?" Didn't you say it's free? ”

Li Feibai wanted to explain to Guo Xun, but after thinking about it, Guo Xun didn't know what the Daming Daily was for, and he said that it was only to print the biography of the heroes and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty? If you want to explain it clearly, I don't know if you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, it is better to wait for the Tomorrow Newspaper to be printed, take out a copy for Guo Xun to see, and then you will understand what!

He said: "This is a long story and boring? If Uncle Guo can trust me, you and I will each take out 50,000 taels of silver as an early investment. When I make the Daming Daily, you'll know what's going on. ”

If it is someone else, come and tell Guo Xun, you take out a sum of silver, and I promise to carry your ancestors into the temple to worship. Not to mention that the person didn't explain the detailed operation process and inventory, even if he explained clearly what to do, Guo Xun would definitely think that this was a liar and asked someone to beat Guo Taibao's mansion with a stick.

But the person who told him about this today was Li Feibai, but Guo Xun was extremely confident that Li Feibai could really carry his ancestors into the temple to worship. Hearing that Li Feibai was going to take out 50,000 taels of silver, he was even more convinced, and said: "This is for me, how can I let you break the bank, I will give out all 100,000 taels of silver!" ”

Li Feibai looked unhappy and said, "Uncle Guo, this is your fault!" ”
