Chapter 383: The Rolling Yangtze River is all water
This "Journey to the West" also gave birth to an ancient profession, storyteller.
Although it is said that the prototype of storytellers was born from the Tang Dynasty. From the Tang Dynasty, in order to spread Buddhism, Buddhists preached to the public, divided monks into monks and laymen, the content of the layman's lectures was easy to understand, the plot was wonderful, evolved into the Tang legend, and formed a script in the Song Dynasty. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, some literati summarized and recorded the texts of the previous dynasties, and added personal adaptations to form a class of romances.
But Zhang Nan has advanced this profession a lot. The reason is that the book "Journey to the West" is too popular among the people. After all, not all the people who get up early to listen to the newspaper every day, but everyone wants to listen to it, but what to do if they buy the newspaper and can't read it, some of them find the business opportunities, at the beginning those people are free in the restaurant or tavern, simply discuss the storyline, but over time, some of them began to tell the story of the newspaper every day.
By the way, you can also earn a small amount of money, after all, you can't listen to the story in vain, right?
But from the beginning of the newspaper to the present, it has been almost a year, and a thick "Journey to the West" has finally bottomed out, in fact, as early as when there were still ten episodes left in "Journey to the West", Ma Zhou took this problem into account, but what Ma Zhou didn't expect was that the people really liked this story too much.
After the serialization of "Journey to the West" was completed, Ma Zhou discussed with other people in the newspaper that they would write stories and publish them in the newspaper, but the response was very poor, and some people even said that if there is no good story, then "Journey to the West" can be re-serialized.
However, the newspaper could not do this, so Ma Zhou, as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, took it upon himself to suspend the story page of "Datang Daily" and replace it with more policy articles.
This time it can be regarded as a hornet's nest, and the people themselves are already very dissatisfied with the fact that Datang Newspaper can't come up with a good story, and now they have directly canceled the story layout, which is also tolerable and unbearable, so there is the "door blocking incident" in Cui Yue's mouth.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that the people do not have a clear understanding of the newspaper office, although there are a few officials sitting in the newspaper office, but the people seem to have forgotten about this, otherwise they would not dare to block the door of the newspaper office even if they borrowed ten of their courage.
Although the officials of the newspaper have become officials, they are also from poor families, so they can't ask someone to arrest these people who block the door, so under Ma Zhouhao's bad words, these fanatical people were finally stabilized.
After Ma Zhou solved the affairs of the people, he immediately came to Zhang Nan's house and handed over the name post, this bell must be tied to the bell, since Zhang Nan can take out a divine book like "Journey to the West", there must still be other books in the house, so Ma Zhou came cheekily to ask for a book.
If Zhang Nan has no other books, then Ma Zhou can only use the right to be an official, although Ma Zhou does not want to do this, but the people's blocking of the door has affected the daily work of the newspaper.
After listening to Cui Yue's words, Zhang Nan knew what was going on, and it was difficult for those people in the newspaper to put a book of "Journey to the West" that was not very many words on the water for a year.
"Well, isn't that the thing, it's easy to solve, I'll give them a new one." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
"New books? What book? Can the concubine take a look at it first? As soon as Cui Yue heard that Zhang Nan had a new book, she immediately became interested, after all, Cui Yue was very bored in the house alone, and the "Journey to the West" that Zhang Nan gave her had already been turned into wrinkles by Cui Yue. Now that Zhang Nan says that he has a new book, how can Cui Yue not be interested.
"This book is called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Zhang Nan said, and swapped out two hardcover editions of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from the system, the first was to give Cui Yue a copy, and the other was to give Ma Zhou to let him do serialization.
Cui Yue took the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in Zhang Nan's hand, opened the page of the book and said: "The concubine of this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" knows it, but what is this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Is it also a matter of the Three Kingdoms period? ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, but Lang Jun's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is much more readable than the dry "Three Kingdoms". Zhang Nan said with a smile.
Cui Yue opened the first page of the book, and the opening words of the book immediately attracted Cui Yue.
"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. Cui Yue said slowly.
"Lang Jun, who wrote this poem, it's really good." Cui Yue said with a look of surprise.
"Hey, who else could there be? Of course, it's your talented husband. Zhang Nan was very shameless and put Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on his head again, and he didn't feel the slightest sense of guilt.
Zhang Nan was actually still a little embarrassed, but after seeing Cui Yue's admiration, Zhang Nan's trace of shame was thrown out of the clouds.
"Old Su, where are you?" Zhang Nan shouted at the top of his voice, and soon, Lao Su walked in from the outside quickly.
"Master, what do you command?" Lao Su said respectfully.
"You send this book to the newspaper and tell Ma Zhou that this book is a new story, so that he can serialize it." Zhang Nan said, and handed another copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to Lao Su.
Lao Su also took the book with a look of surprise and said, "Master, are you finally writing a new book?" ”
"Huh? Listen to what you mean is also to read my master's last master? Zhang Nan didn't expect his influence to be so strong.
"Of course, sir, we bought all the issues of "Datang Daily" in our house, and I slowly finished reading "Journey to the West", I didn't read it some time ago, and I'm still a little unused to it." Lao Su scratched his head with a smile and said.
"Haha, then you have something to do now, this is my new book, you can read the story every day now, by the way, you bring a message to Ma Zhou by the way, just say, the newspaper must have its own things, otherwise it is not a matter to rely on me all the time." Zhang Nan commanded.
"Got it." Lao Su responded.
"Well, okay, let's go, go early and come back early." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he waved his hand, Lao Su saluted, and left quickly.
After Lao Su left, Zhang Nan turned his head to look at Cui Yue again, and then Zhang Nan found that Cui Yue was deeply trapped in the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and couldn't extricate himself, although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a military book, and most of the scenes described in it are war and fight scenes, but this does not affect it to become a book suitable for all ages.
