333 The Great Man of Chivalry (4th Update)
When Liu Mao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, the emperor had a new idea, it must be wonderful! He hurriedly bowed down and replied respectfully: "Listen to the holy sound!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and then said to him: "Qing is now selecting some articulate talents in the post station system, and hiring some storytellers to train these people to tell stories, and to write some popular stories for the people to tell stories in the post station with a large flow of people......
"......" Liu Mao couldn't help but be speechless when he heard it, and his original mood of anticipation suddenly dropped a lot. I thought the emperor had some very good ideas, but I didn't expect that he just wanted more storytellers in the station!
Thinking like this, there was a hint of disappointment, or loss, on his face. Although it was very subtle, it was still captured by Emperor Chongzhen.
Hehe, underestimate this idea? Emperor Chongzhen smiled in his heart, but he was not angry, and continued: "Of course, I will also give you some stories here, well, it is long, let the storytellers in the post station system tell the story." Whoever wants to listen to it will have to charge a fee, but the price should be affordable for ordinary people. Of course, at the very beginning, you can also use free trial promotions to attract people. ”
"Obey the order!" Liu Mao listened and bowed in response. Although this matter is very ordinary, since it was ordered by the emperor, it is carried out.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, and suddenly his voice raised a little and said: "But there is another requirement for this storytelling, that is, in the process of storytelling, there must be advertising time......"
Speaking of this, he saw Liu Mao looking at him with a hint of doubt, and he immediately explained: "Advertising is to advertise widely, and there is a requirement for this." In ordinary times, some important wills of the imperial court should be interpreted during this pause in storytelling, so that those who come to listen to the book can understand and understand the will of the imperial court. As for commercials, well, you can pick up some as well. That is to say, if a merchant's goods are good, what dishes in a certain restaurant are delicious, etc., speak for them, and naturally charge their fees. ”
"......" Liu Mao was stunned, there is still such a way to tell the story? Seem...... It seems that you can also make a little money? However, he also understood that the emperor called himself this time to plan such a storytelling in the post station system, and it is estimated that the purpose of the ten ** is to interpret the important will of the imperial court. But is this necessary?
At least the current Liu Mao does not realize the importance of this matter. In other words, in this era, no one has yet recognized the importance of influencing public opinion through this means.
Emperor Chongzhen finally thought about it, and then instructed him: "Half of the income from storytelling will be used to improve the life of the servants, and the other half should be handed over to the inner treasury." Well, I didn't take it for nothing, at least I will provide the story to the post station storyteller for a relatively long time, and this should be regarded as a copyright fee. By the way, if a storyteller elsewhere also steals my story, they will tear down his platform, which is not allowed! ”
"......" Liu Mao was speechless again, and the emperor made up a story for the storyteller to tell? This...... Is this reliable? How many people will come to listen?
At least in Liu Mao's opinion, this matter is a bit unreliable. He doesn't think that the emperor can make up a wonderful story, even if there is a boo of the emperor compiling a book, but if the story is not exciting, there will be very few people who can insist on listening. Those few incomes are estimated not enough to be busy with this matter, and they want to put half of it into the inner treasury, and half of it to improve the life of the servant, and even worry that other storytellers will steal the story!
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister knows that you are very good at governance, and you have a lot of wonderful ideas, but after all, manpower is limited, and you can't be good at everything! Yes, you have to work this matter, and find some reliable storytellers to make up stories!
He was thinking like this, and suddenly he seemed to hear the emperor calling him, so he came to his senses and lost his mind.
Liu Mao was suddenly startled, and hurriedly bowed down to plead guilty.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't know in his heart that he was talking about this, in his opinion, it would be unreliable, if it really attracted him, would he be distracted? Hehe, just wait and see!
So, he picked up seven or eight pages from the imperial case, instructed the attendant on the side to transfer it to Liu Mao, and said at the same time: "This is the story I just wrote, the first few chapters, how about you take a look?" ”
It is also strange to say that after this crossing, the memory of the events of the future life has not only not weakened, but has become clearer, is it because the two souls have fused and the memory has been strengthened?
But no matter what this is now, at least the famous "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in later generations is almost remembered clearly, and it was written easily. Although it is vernacular, as long as it is a person, the excitement of the story should be equally attractive, right?
The reason why Emperor Chongzhen chose this story is because this story is wonderful! This has been tested by countless people in later generations. You must know that the people of later generations know more things and hear more stories than the people of this era. Later generations can be attracted to be fascinated, he doesn't believe that with this ancient level of entertainment, with those ancient "urban" stories, can compete with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?
Another point is that this story mainly tells Guo Jing's growth experience, encourages loyal qualities, and advocates the behavior of chivalrous people. This is what he needs, and he needs to use this story to change the current atmosphere of Daming.
He was thinking about it, Liu Mao had already got the first few chapters and started reading them. When he first started reading it, he couldn't help but be disdainful when he saw the vernacular text. If it weren't for the emperor's writing, he probably wouldn't have read it at all and would have thrown it away.
At this time, he had no choice but to look down. This book is about the events of the Song Dynasty, in a snowy weather......
To be honest, the story is a thing, the plot must be good, the writing must also be good, simple sentences can outline the environment of the characters, and the emotions of the characters can be accurately expressed. At this point, Mr. Jin Yong had this strength back then.
After reading the first chapter, Liu Mao seemed to forget that this was a vernacular text that he disdained, and then looked down, and after reading two more chapters, he hurriedly turned the back one.
I was looking at it, and I flipped it back, but it was empty, and it was gone! He hurriedly looked up, but saw that the emperor was looking at him a little playfully. It was only then that he came back to his senses and contacted the emperor again. Suddenly, this story is like the finishing touch, bringing the whole idea to life!
Thinking like this, Liu Mao was excited, and he hurriedly played: "Your Majesty, this is ...... How long is this story, and it has always been like this...... Isn't that exciting? ”
"Hehe, this is just a prelude, the real excitement is still to come!" Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile. Seeing Liu Mao's before and after expressions, he was in a good mood.
