Chapter 634: One Thousand and One Nights 1

"Arabian Nights?" Xu Da was surprised.

Qin Yu only smiled slightly when he heard this, and didn't explain too much to him. "The release of this book will definitely set off a storm in the sky." ”

"Arabian Nights", also known as "One Thousand and One Nights", is actually a collection of stories.

There is no fixed author, in fact, it is a collective creation of people from all over the world.

In total, there are more than a hundred big stories and countless small stories.

It is a bit similar to "Strange Tales of Liaozhai", Pu Songling often goes to the mountains and forests to listen to the stories of the people, and after he goes back, he will summarize these strange stories and write them into Strange Tales of Liaozhai.

Qin Yu learned through his own historical knowledge that "Arabian Nights" has not yet been summarized in Tianfang. There are only a small folk tales, scattered among the folk.

In other words, Qin Yu is now writing "Arabian Nights"

It's the work of doing Pu Songling.

Although many of the stories in it were not created by Pu Songling himself, he is still the author.

In addition, "Arabian Nights" is only a folk tale, and its content has almost no description of the many sects of Tianfang. In other words, because it has no religious inclination, it will not be suppressed by any denomination.

This place of heaven, where people of all faiths live, will accept it and love it.

In Tianfang, a place where beliefs are incomparably complex and incomparably solid, only such a book with no tendencies can be widely circulated and used by Qin Yu.

And the only one.

"Sir, what a genius!" Xu Da was in awe of Qin Yu when he heard this, "Even Tianfang's book can be written." ”

"And writing books is still easy, what is not a god?"

"You must know that Luo Guanzhong wrote "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was a draft of the Three Changes, and it has gone through decades of hardship and hard work. And sir, in a few days, you can write a book in foreign Chinese"

"Coming out of the ages."

Half a month later.

A literary work written in the Persian language was born in the Persian capital city of Qom.

Title: One Thousand and One Nights

The money spent on the publication of the first edition was brought by Qin Yu and them. After all, in ancient times, books were published with their own money. The printers were also the local Persians they were looking for.

According to the current level of science and technology in Persia,

They didn't even have movable type printing.

Qin Yu also had to teach them movable type printing by hand.

The first batch of "One Thousand and One Nights" published and distributed, with a total of 10,000 copies, was distributed free of charge by the Ming sergeants to the inhabitants of Qom. Among the targets of distribution are civilians, peddlers and pawns,

Craftsmen are also included. Dignitaries.

……

"One Thousand and One Nights!?"

Qom City.

A noble girl, Daya, the daughter of a certain chief, was immediately attracted by her name when she got the printed booklet in her hand. Standing on the street, I can't wait to turn the title page and read it intently.

First Story: "Sanua and His One Thousand and One Nights"

"Once upon a time, on an island in the ancient heavens, there was a kingdom of Sasan, and the king was named Sanua. One day, Sanua and his brother Saman came to a meadow next to the sea, and while they were resting under a tree, suddenly a black column of water rose in the middle of the sea, and a witch came to them and told them that all women in the world were untrustworthy and untrustworthy......"

"Damn witch, you say that all women in the world cannot be trusted?" Seeing this, the aristocratic girl said in her heart.

Read on:

When King Sanua and his brother Saman returned to the kingdom of Sasan, they found that the queen had misbehaved, and they killed her. From then on, Sanua was deeply disgusted with women and killed the palace maids, and he took revenge, and began to marry a woman every day for one night, and the next day he killed and remarried, and became a tyrant completely. ”

"Year after year, it lasted for three years, and more than a thousand women were killed."

What a cruel tyrant! Our king is much better than he is, Daya said.

"The prime minister's eldest daughter, Shanruzod, told her father that she was going to marry the king, and that she was going to try to save thousands of women. After entering the palace, Shanruzod told the king a story every night, but she told it every night, and only the beginning and the middle, not the end. In order to hear the end of the story, the king postponed the date of the killing of Shan Ruzod day after day. In this way, Shanruzod told a story every day, and her stories were endless, each more wonderful than the other, until the thousandth and first night, and finally moved the king. Sanuya said, "I am determined not to kill you in the name of Andara, and I am touched by your story. I will record these stories and keep them forever. ”

What a brave and intelligent girl! Seeing this, Daya thought to herself, and she also has endless knowledge, and she actually told a thousand and one stories to the king, and there are no duplicates.

I'm going to be a girl like Shan Lu Zuod too!

Daya's eyes lit up.

"So, the book 'One Thousand and One Nights' was born."

It turns out that this is how the book came about. Daya thought to herself.

After reading it, cover the book and think for a long time.

When she read this first story just now, she was deeply attracted by its content. The expressions on his face, the emotions in his heart, and the characters in the story are constantly changing.

"The person who can write this book must be a peerless genius!" Daya said in her heart.

"I guess the author is also a great girl, my role model."

"Because the main character of this book is a woman." However, when she glanced at the author's name again, she found that Qin Yu did not look like a girl's name.

After no longer bothering the author, he continued to open the book and read it hungrily.

So she saw a second story: The Tale of the Fisherman and the Goldfish.

This story once again attracted her deeply.

……

The girl Daya is just one of the many lovers of "One Thousand and One Nights".

It's just one of the many living beings.

In addition to her favorite, there are also those peddlers and pawns, the nobles of the royal palace...... The capital of Persia, loved by all.

After the 10,000 books were distributed, in an instant, the entire city of Qom was full of people reading. Some of them sat on the ground reading books, and some sat in carriages reading......

Qom City, from the original backward and feudal city, has suddenly become a city of reading.

"One Thousand and One Nights" has the magic of horror,

Changed a city in an instant.

The ancients had very few entertainment items, even the Ming Dynasty, let alone Persia, which was relatively backward in culture?

Therefore, in Persia at this time, it is possible to make up a relatively attractive story that will be passed down through the ages. What's more, One Thousand and One Nights was originally their own story.
