"It's impossible to change the world's negative perception of slavery. York is not very optimistic, "No matter how much you do it, I'm afraid it won't change that." ”

"This shows that you haven't really grasped what propaganda is. Ji Aojian said disapprerovingly, "As long as you master the right way, you can guide public opinion as you want." ”

York's spirits perked, "What's the right way to get the word out?"

"It's simple, you write a memoir about your life......"

"Wait, sir!" Yorke was astonished, "at my age, I can write a memoir?"

"Why not? You're now a heroic hero who saves people, and you've made a name for yourself. The public is very interested in you, and they will want to know everything about you, especially your upbringing, and if you strike while the iron is hot, your memoir will definitely become a bestseller. ”

“......”

"In your memoirs, you want to focus on a few things. Ji Aojian continued, "First of all, you have to explain that you were born in a state in the south of the United States, and your family has a very large manor since you were a child, and there are many, many black slaves in the manor, your family treats black slaves very kindly, and the simple black slaves also love their masters very much, and everyone lives a happy and harmonious life together." ”

"Sir, you are right. York couldn't help but admire, "Long before the American Revolution, my family had always been kind to slaves, and they were very concerned about their health and daily life. ”

Ji Aojian nodded, "It's not just your family, it's generally the case in the southern states, the farmer and the black slave are so good that they are like fish and water." Neither side can do without the other. ”

York clapped his hands vigorously, "Not bad." Yes, that's it. ”

"Since the southern states are so harmonious and stable. The system here should not be changed at will. ”

"That's right!"

"In fact, your lords of the manor are also well-informed and cultured people, and know that slavery is only a temporary phenomenon in history, and under the guidance of the highest human reason, it will eventually die out in the long future. ”

York hesitated, "That's right, all slavery should gradually disappear after many years." ”

"But the demise of slavery. It should be a natural process. ”

"You're absolutely right!"

"Existence is reasonable, and if slavery were to be abolished abruptly in the South at present, it would break the original good state, interrupt the natural course of history, and bring about an unpredictable social crisis and humanitarian disaster!"

York nodded excitedly.

"You can also give an example, for example, when you were a teenager, you were full of idealism and took the initiative to emancipate the slaves in your family......"

"Sir, in my memory. I don't think I've ever done that. ”

"It's just an analogy, hear me out first. Ji Aojian waved his hand, "You gave the black slaves freedom, but they were at a loss. They don't know how they should survive, but instead accuse you of ruining their happy life. ”

"This ......"

"Even if it didn't happen to you, haven't you heard anything like it?"

"I think I've heard of that. I don't remember in which farmstead it happened, though. ”

"If you know there is, just make up a friend's name and say it. Ji Aojian said casually. "Memoirs don't necessarily need to be that accurate. As long as it conforms to the truth of history in the general direction, it is fine. ”

York struggled for a moment, and finally accepted the statement, "I wrote down your words. ”

"Well, since the South is such a happy paradise place, where the lords of the manors and the black slaves live happily, what will you do if outsiders forcibly break in and use violence to change your system and destroy your life?"

"I will pick up a gun and fight to defend my hometown. York replied solemnly.

"Are you even willing to sacrifice your own life?"

"I will fight to the last drop of blood!"

"That's it. Ji Aojian clasped his hands, "That's all there is to explain in the memoirs." ”

"Huh?"

"Now to sum it up. You begin by describing that the slave-enslaved American South was a happy and wonderful homeland. It goes on to explain that Southerners believe that slavery will die out naturally, but that drastic changes can bring disaster to everyone here. Finally, in the event of an armed invasion, you will be determined to fight to the death. ”

York nodded hurriedly, "That's right." ”

Ji Aojian said in a very affirmative tone, "As long as you can write such a memoir, you in the south will definitely be understood by the public." ”

"I ......," York pondered for a moment, his brow furrowed, "sir, I have confidence in this now, and it seems that I must write my memoirs as soon as possible." ”

"Since you think so, there's no problem. Ji Aojian took out a piece of paper, "Come, let's sign a contract." ”

York said confusedly, "What is this?"

"This is a publishing contract, you hurry up and write the manuscript in the next few days, and I will help you immediately publish the book and print it to promote it to the public. ”

"Sir, when did you enter the publishing industry?"

"I just bought a printing shop. ”

"It's certainly best to work with you. "But I've been in London for a few days, and I haven't seen my father. I want to find him first, and then write a memoir, what do you think?"

"I think you'd better hurry up and write your memoirs first. Ji Aojian didn't take his advice, "As for your father, I've actually found him. ”

"What did you say, where is my father?"

"Quiet, quiet, no need to get excited. "York, your father is now underfunded to meet the expenses of socializing with the upper echelons, so he has been unable to carry out borrowing activities for a long time, and he can only live in a small hotel now. So now, you write your memoirs at once, and I can pay you a part of the manuscript fee in advance, so that your father doesn't have to worry about it. ”

"Uh, how much do you pay me?"

"I'm sure your memoir will be a bestseller. Ji Ao Kendao, "After you finish the draft, I will give you a thousand pounds." In the future, I will continue to pay you according to the sales volume. ”

"That's fine, that's fine. York hurriedly agreed, "Sir, how much space do you need me to write?"

"More than 50,000 words is enough, enough for a single book. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "York, I hope you will hurry up and deliver the manuscript to me within a week." ”

"Is it only a week?"

"It's only about 8,000 words a day, it's very simple. ”

Ji Aojian patted him on the shoulder, "Your father is still looking forward to you, with such an outstanding son as you, he will definitely be able to borrow a lot of money for the south." ”

"I see, I must deliver on time. York's face turned a little red, "Sir, I don't know how to thank you for your kindness in helping me." ”

"Needless to say. Ji Ao Kendao, "York, you and I are friends, and if we are friends, we should help each other." ”

"You are the best and best friend I have ever met in my life, and I will never forget you. (To be continued......)
