The next day, Jingwen left under the reluctant gaze of Princess Changle, who had just been crowned. And Jingwen is also a rare person who can play with Princess Changle, so Princess Changle is a little reluctant. A princess is rarely able to play with her in the palace, so it is difficult to find a person to amuse (toys?). Of course he was going to catch it. However, Princess Changle also made it clear that she wanted Jingwen to visit her in the palace often and play with her.

"Hey, I finally left the black-bellied little Lori of Princess Changle, I don't know if I stayed in the palace for a long time, so this Lori has become so black-bellied. The palace is really not a place for people to stay, no matter how good-hearted people go to the palace, they are all black-bellied people. Jingwen said with a sigh.

Jingwen returned to the publishing house, and then looked and saw that the editors led by Miss Cheng Lin were busy sorting out the books. Now all these birdmen are coming to publish books, so it's not easy for these editors to pick out something new from these books to publish. Almost all of them find it useful in a large number of books, which is not a high percentage. Because there are not many people who can publish books, the quality of books is also uneven.

"Owner, have you ever thought that you would also publish a book?" Miss Cheng Lin asked.

"I'm also publishing a book?" Jingwen was a little puzzled.

Cheng Lin said: "Owner, don't you claim to have read tens of thousands of books? You're also a great writer, don't you want to write a book to read? Now that everyone is publishing books, you, a great writer, don't publish books, so what's the point? I think that what the owner writes must be good, and it will be in vain for the owner to read a lot of books! ”

Jingwen was a little speechless, the last time he bragged in front of Wei Zheng, saying that he had read tens of thousands of books. However, about half of these books are various novels, and the other half are various reference books of later generations, and as for the Confucian classics, Jingwen has not read them at all. Therefore, he, a great writer, is not worthy of his name at all!

"I think it's better to forget it!" Jingwen said.

But Cheng Lin said: "Boss, you should publish some books for all of us to see!" We all want to meet your owner, and we all want to learn! ”

Looking at Cheng Lin's adoring appearance like a little star, Jingwen had some thoughts in his heart that he wanted to continue to pretend to be 13. Being able to get a talented woman and being adored by a beautiful woman is something that most men can't resist. And the editors around are also full of admiration, Jingwen also knows a little, these editors think that Jingwen is a great writer, so the ability is very strong, and they want Jingwen to publish a book for everyone to learn.

"That's it! I'm going to publish a novel! Jingwen said.

The editors looked at each other, clearly not quite understanding what the novel was.

"Novels? Owner, what is this novel of yours? Cheng Lin asked.

But Jingwen also asked, "Haven't you read the novel?" Isn't there such a thing as a novel at the moment? That is, the story, the deeds of the ancient people through their own changes, and then made into a story, so that some storytellers tell it to everyone. ”

"Boss, you should be talking about 'talking', right? Now there are many dignitaries and nobles in the court, and there are some people who talk to each other, and they just tell stories to those nobles, and then get money. And those who speak, there is something called a script, is it the kind of novel you are talking about? Cheng Lin asked.

Jingwen also asked rhetorically: "What is the so-called script now?" Shall I see? ”

"Yes, there are a lot of people here who also want to publish a book, so you can go and show it to the owner!" Cheng Lin said.

Soon, Jingwen immediately saw a so-called script. And this story is in classical Chinese, and the story told is relatively obscure, if you don't have advanced knowledge of ancient Chinese, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand it at all!

"How is this the genre? Is it just that you can't use the vernacular? Jingwen asked.

"What is vernacular?" Cheng Lin asked again.

That is to say, write whatever you want. Every time we say a word, we record every word, and this is the vernacular. Jingwen said.

Cheng Lin said with some hesitation: "This method is a waste of paper, pen and ink. But that was before, and now the emperor has invented this new method of paper and printing, so I am afraid that books will not be expensive in the future. But I don't know if this kind of vernacular is acceptable. ”

Cheng Lin doesn't know if this kind of vernacular can be accepted, because since ancient times, written records have used classical Chinese, and if someone suddenly uses vernacular now, can everyone accept it? And Jingwen happens to know this, that is, if you insist on promoting vernacular literature, I'm afraid it won't be so simple. Jingwen had read some novels from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and he knew that there was no small resistance to the promotion of vernacular literature during that period. In that period of openness, it was so difficult, which shows how difficult it was to promote vernacular Chinese.

The main reason for this is that those in power are all from ancient literature, and they are naturally unwilling to give up this ancient literature. This is the inertia of thinking, and they may not be able to stand that new form of stylistics. Once they can't stand it, then they'll be against it. If you can't bring benefits to yourself, then you have to oppose it, and this is the thinking of the vast majority of those in power. Moreover, once the vernacular language was promoted, the cultural monopoly power of those grassroots literati disappeared completely. In the future, they will no longer have the status to explain the meaning of the article, and many people will be able to understand the meaning of the book, so they will be the "high-level figures" in the neighborhood, and their status will disappear completely, which is also a reason why those grassroots literati oppose the vernacular.

"I've decided, I'm going to write a vernacular book, so that everyone in the world can read and understand the vernacular script!" Jingwen said.

"Boss, do you really want to write a vernacular script? If others don't approve of it at that time, then you're afraid ......," Cheng Lin asked.

Jingwen shook his head and said, "Who said I must take those high-level routes? I can go the bottom route, that is to say, to those ordinary people! You expect the common people to have much knowledge, so I can only make this book a little clearer so that they can understand it. Although this kind of talk is heard by very high-ranking nobles now, why can't we promote them to the people? In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people! ”

"Boss, you've recited the classic verses again, why don't you finish the whole poem?" Cheng Lin asked.

"Huh!" Jingwen smirked.
