Chapter 64: Stepping In
As a super metropolis with a population of nearly one million, the imperial capital has a lot of large and small entertainment venues, and all kinds of opera storytelling emerge in endlessly.
"It is said that when the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggars were evil and poisonous in the west and the divine powers, when the sword competition was in Huashan, suddenly a stone cave collapsed not far away, and there was a piano and a jade box in it.
It was written by Zhou Huan, a scholar of the imperial court thirty years ago, when Zhou Huan was ordered to edit the Daozang, worried that something would go wrong, so he browsed all the 108,000 volumes of the Daozang, and unknowingly obtained an extremely clever martial arts ...... from it."
The open space of the entire Ruyi Building was full, and the storyteller calmly told a book about the legend of the Condor Heroes.
This is a strange book, it became popular in less than five days after it was opened, and even the palace heard about it ten days later, and now, not only ordinary people, but even martial arts masters are listening to this book here.
Of course, the fact that this book became popular so quickly is not only due to the Wudang faction, but also because Zhou Huan has put in some other efforts, which are not enough to narrate for outsiders.
"Haven't you heard of the name of the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggar, the East Evil and the West Poison?"
A Jianghu person sat in the front row, drinking herbal tea and tasting pastries.
"Before the lecture, the storytellers all said that it was empty, for fear of causing taboos from the government, and a new world was empty, understand?"
It means that Grandmaster Zhou did not follow the imperial court to the south to make peace, but stayed in the capital to make peace. β
Another Jianghu person on the side glanced at his companion with disdain, and listened intently to the following story.
This Legend of the Condor Heroes, which has been modified by Zhou Huan, has attracted countless eyeballs as soon as it was launched, with an unprecedented storyline, all kinds of fights and loves, and thrilling conflicts and contradictions, which made the Legend of the Condor Heroes quickly accepted.
Of course, this is also due to the advertising and marketing that Zhou Huan found someone to do, spending money to hire someone to print the first ten copies of thousands of copies, and then distributing them to various places for people to watch, although it cost a lot of money, but the effect is very good. At the same time, Zhou Huan also personally trained several batches of water armies, and even used the gimmick of three points of truth to attract the audience.
Thanks to the connections of the Wudang faction and the efforts of the boss of Ruyi Louqian, as well as the unprecedented advertising and marketing model in this world, coupled with the quality of this book, the Legend of the Condor Heroes quickly came to life.
The story was told quickly, but when the storyteller said the name of the author Wang Huan and said that the next time he broke it down, the audience reluctantly left.
In the back room of the Ruyi Building, Zhou Huan was talking about business with a few people.
Of course, a storytelling business can't make much money, but what if it's a hundred teahouses?
In this era without copyright protection, if a storytelling business is good, there will naturally be many imitators, which is also the reason why Zhou Huan introduced the Wudang faction, of course, the Wudang faction will not blatantly intervene, but the entry disciples of the Wudang faction, vassal forces, etc. can help, they can ensure that those restaurants pay and at the same time, they can also ensure that some teahouses cannot tell this story.
Although the Wudang faction is very decent, but when it comes to the interests that should be there, it will not take the initiative to give up, although the Baiyun Temple in the imperial capital will be allocated a lot of silver every year, but it can't stand the Wudang faction disciples who play the imperial capital, and there is an endless stream of people who come to fight the autumn breeze and borrow money.
"Mr. Wang's lecture on the Condor Heroes this time is over, do you have any other ideas?"
Brother Wang has become Mr. Wang, and the shopkeeper Sun is now very grateful to Zhou Huan who pulled himself to do this business, and the hot scene of Ruyi Building made him feel like he was in a dream, and his income in one day was equal to half a month in the past, which was not yet famous.
Zhou Huan is giving him money, and now I don't know how many bosses are outside and want to win Zhou Huan to where they are, even those famous prostitutes in Qinglou are not as famous as Zhou Huan, and when children in the streets and alleys fight, they will shout to see my eighteen palms of dragon descending.
"I have a little idea, and I'm thinking about it now, I need a lot of silver when the time comes, and when the time comes, I will ask Shopkeeper Sun to help invite the shopkeepers of the major teahouses to sit down......"
"Definitely, definitely. β
"I'm going to put all the money I earn into the next business, in fact, the purpose of this business is for this business......"
Shopkeeper Sun now finally believes that Zhou Huan is not the kind of person who wants money, he came to the imperial capital, all he wanted was to find his sister.
However, the girl named Wang Yunniang has no clue at all.
Zhou Huan's eyes fell on the sketch in front of him, with a gloomy expression.
"Wang Huan is not there?"
There was a bit of chaos outside, and someone was talking loudly outside.
Soon after, the group walked into the back room, led by a Beijing official in his thirties - here in the capital, there are more officials than dogs, and the ordinary people can have a relationship with the officials around the corner, but it does not mean that the Beijing officials are not valuable, on the contrary, some of these small officials are unceremonious when they encounter local county orders and governors, and the relationship network they weave is very huge.
"Isn't this Li Wenwen? What kind of wind blew you here?"
The shopkeeper Sun saw this person, and hurriedly greeted him warmly, there are many rights and wrongs in the capital, and when the business is not good, he did not look for it, and when the business is good, all aspects are in charge, and the storytelling business of Ruyi Lou is booming these days, and many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods who come to fight the autumn wind have come up.
This Li Wenshu belongs to the Ministry of Rites, of course he will not take the initiative to come up, but the shopkeeper Sun personally went to him to send money, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the fireworks restaurant in the six departments, and the master of the Ministry of Rites let those singers accompany the wine without paying money at all - of course, this sentence was said by the shopkeeper Sun to Zhou Huan, Li Wenwen is a very dark person, and he is not soft in collecting money.
"Ruyilou's storytelling business is good, Lord Qian likes the chapters written by Wang Huan very much, are you Wang Huan?"
Li Wenwen looked at Zhou Huan from a top-down look, or missed it after a glance, and it was completely inappropriate to explain it in a psychological way.
It's very simple to think about it, this kind of vulgar Jingshi novel, in Li Wenwen's opinion, is no different from the minor tunes sung by those singers.
"Wang Huan, right? Here's the thing, please be behind the Legend of the Condor Heroes, when you talk about Huashan's sword, join the Huashan faction, and let the five peers lose in the hands of the head of the Huashan faction, just like the return of the five mountains does not look at the mountain, and the return of the Yellow Mountain does not look at Yue, blow more about the Huashan faction, so that everyone is deeply impressed by the Huashan faction, understand?"
Li Wenwen's voice is not high, but it is enough for Zhou Huan to hear clearly, but he must listen attentively, otherwise he will miss some sentences, this way of speaking is what some little sesame officials like to use the most, to torture the people below.
"I don't understand. β
"It's good to understand...... What?"
"I don't understand what you're saying, do I owe you money?"
Zhou Huan completely ignored the eyes of the shopkeeper Sun and poured himself a cup of tea.
"You!"
Li Wenwen held his breath on his chest, pointing at Zhou Huan's fingers trembling.
"If you have any comments on my review, you can write something and send it to me, and I will see if it is beneficial, I will definitely accept it, regardless of the tone of your speech. β
"You, you, you, you don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink!"
Li Wenwen's gaze became gloomy, "This is the meaning of the above. β
"Then let the above talk about it, there is no problem with changing the plot, as long as you pay for it, this book is the book that made me famous, and it will be difficult to ruin my reputation." β
Zhou Huan's expression was calm, neither afraid nor afraid.
"Or rather, the above gave you money, and then you came over and wanted to talk to me to change the book? Li Wenwen, you are doing a really good business. β
"You!"
Li Wenwen stretched out his hand and slapped the table and said cruel words.
"Shopkeeper Sun, have you thought about it, this matter is what the master above meant, this Wang Huan doesn't know what to do, aren't you afraid that it will affect you?"

The reason why the token can't be used to find people is because it's not realistic to find Tang Damiang at all -- can the most mysterious and powerful person in the rivers and lakes be found with a favor token? Chen Yunying is the same, not to mention whether the other party can find it, how the other party will execute and how to find a request from an unknown person is a problem, of course the Wudang faction will not mobilize, and even send out documents to find it.
