Chapter 302: Cultural Thieves

Inside the Drunken Immortal Building, the lobby should have been full of people and very noisy. Because it is a meal, at this time, all kinds of people will gather in this drunken immortal building because of all kinds of things, and talk about their own affairs, or those who drink alcohol will make drinking orders and fight each other, which is very lively. But today, the voices in the lobby of the Drunken Immortal Building are gone, and only a subdued tone is spoken in a hurry.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The sergeant hurried to the shore. Guan Gong asked the second sister-in-law to get on a boat and cross the river. Crossing the Yellow River is the place of Yuan Shao. Guan Gong went through five passes and beheaded six people. Later generations have poems that sigh: Hang the seal and seal the golden words of the Han Dynasty, and look for a brother to return from afar. The horse rides the red rabbit for thousands of miles, and the sword and the green dragon go out of the five levels. Loyalty rushed to the universe, and the hero shook the country from then on. The lone general should be invincible, and the ancient inscription should be left between Han and Mo. Guan Gongyu immediately sighed to himself: "I don't want to kill people along the way, I have no choice but to do it." Cao Gong knows it, and he will regard me as a person who is unkind. ’…… In the middle of the line, the dust behind him, a group of people and horses rushed over, and Xiahoudun shouted: "Guan Mouxiu is leaving!" "Exactly: the six generals will block the pass, and the first army will block the road and fight again! ……”

The front told that the voice of the person was high and low, rising and falling, and the tone was frustrated, and everyone heard that Guan Gong finally got out, but was picked up by Xiahou Xuan, and couldn't help but be suddenly shocked in their hearts, and was about to prick up their ears to listen carefully to what was going to happen next, but suddenly they heard a sudden startle, and the storyteller brushed a folding fan, glanced at everyone, and said: "After all, how did Guan Gong get out, and listen to the following decomposition!" ”

There was an uproar in the Drunken Immortal Building, and the voice suddenly erupted, but they were all shouting not to stop, let the storyteller say another paragraph.

"Hehe, thank you for your support, I can't thank you enough. It's just that I'm only going to be here today. The rest of the story, I still need to go back and sort it out according to the book, and then I will listen to it. The storyteller in the long shirt walked up from behind the square table very politely, bowed deeply and gave a long salute very thoughtfully, and said: "Tomorrow is still here and now, forcing people to continue to tell the story of the future, and please continue to cheer!" ”

"Well said, well said! Mr. Fang. You might as well leak it to us first! A voice came from below: "Half of what I listen to all day long makes me feel as if I am holding it all day long, always thinking about what will happen in the future, and it is difficult to concentrate this mind!" ”

"Yes, Mr. Fang, you just say this every day, so that we don't feel at ease all day long." A voice also said: "You just tell us this, can this Guan Gong go back to his brother?" ”

The crowd began to chim, shouting below for the storyteller to tell the storyteller to repeat the paragraph.

But the storyteller bowed again, and said, "I really can't talk anymore." The contemptible people also got a book of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is the story written in that book. The contemptible person still needs to read it down for himself before he can speak to you. The story behind this has not yet been seen, and I really can't tell it today. Tomorrow, tomorrow is still the old time, or here, and the contemptible people will tell you the story behind! ”

"Oh?! Where did Mr. Na's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" go? Is there anything else in the world? A man dressed as a scholar stood up with great interest and asked.

The storyteller bowed: "Good to teach this son to know that it is not difficult to find this book." It is written by Xia Hongsheng, a famous genius in Chang'an City, and is being printed in the printing office. If you want to buy it, you can wait a little longer for the book to be printed. You can get it. Hehe, I heard that this book is highly respected by the Heavenly Family, and it was written by Xiahou Ye himself, and His Majesty personally wrote the preface. Master Li Gang and Master Yan personally made a trek! ”

"What?!" There was a commotion in the lobby, and there was a lot of discussion.

After speaking, the storyteller did not need to pack up his things, gave another salute, and left.

After he left, the Drunken Immortal Building returned to its former liveliness, but what the diners talked about became the Three Kingdoms that Fang Cai talked about.

"According to a certain point of view, then Guan Yu may not be able to get out." One of them said: "Although Guan Yu is strong in martial arts, he has passed five levels and killed six generals, and he has not had time to rest on the way, and the two wives who also brought Liu Bei are probably not Cao Jun's opponents." ”

"No, no! According to the following, Cao Mengde really cherishes Guan Yu, and he definitely does not want to see Guan Yu die. Moreover, that Xiahoudun would definitely not be Guan Yu's opponent. ”

"I thought that Guan Yu was too pedantic, good birds chose trees to perch, Cao Mengde treated him like this, and he was much bigger than Liu Bei, how could he not know what to do?" Another man spoke.

As soon as the words fell, he provoked a rebuttal: "This brother Tai is wrong, Guan Yunchang and Liu Xuande Taoyuan are brothers, how can they betray Liu and return to Cao?" If Guan Yunchang really attached himself to Cao Cao and discarded morality, I'm afraid that Cao Mengde wouldn't appreciate him either! ”

Everyone expressed their opinions and discussed in the Drunken Immortal Building.

Xia Hongsheng mingled in it, smiling and pressing down a mouthful of grape wine, and then picked up a chopstick dish and sent it to his mouth, listening to everyone's arguments with his ears pricked up.

"The talent of the son is really the best in ancient and modern times, just a few stories, and these people are addicted." Yuexian, who came out with Xia Hongsheng, said with a smile: "At the beginning in Luoyang, Du Shi Niang, who was written by Gongzi and the slave family, had already caused a sensation in Luocheng, and now this "Three Kingdoms" will definitely make Gongzi's name spread all over the world!" ”

"Oh? Then "Du Shi Niang" turned out to be made by Brother Xia?! Before Xia Hongsheng could speak, Yi Qiulou, who came with him, looked at Xia Hongsheng in surprise and said: "At that time, I was in Luoyang City, and I heard the story of Du Shi Niang, and I was filled with righteous indignation. Later, I inquired about people, and I learned that it was just a made-up story. But I never thought that it was Brother Xia who did it! ”

Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and said: "It's just making up some stories, but Brother Yi, who is righteous and awe-inspiring, has Haoran justice in his heart, and admires it." ”

"If someone bullies the weak, then hoeing the strong and helping the weak is a matter of duty, so why worry about it." Yi Qiulou shook his head and said.

"I once heard a saying that with great power comes great responsibility. It's probably someone like Brother Yi. Xia Hongsheng suddenly remembered a line in the back market, so he said to Yi Qiulou.

Yi Qiulou readily agreed.

The three of them ate and drank something in the Drunken Immortal Building, and then left.

What he saw in the Drunken Immortal Building today made Xia Hongsheng very satisfied with the effect of using storytelling to promote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

In fact, not only in the drunken immortal building, but also in the major restaurants, restaurants, and brothels in Chang'an City, there are storytellers sent by Xia Hongsheng. Xia Hongsheng has been around in the past few days, and this is the case in it.

Now walking on the streets of Chang'an, I can always inadvertently hear someone talking about the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

First Chang'an City, then Luoyang, Xia Hongsheng plans to let these storytellers train more storytellers, and let them go to the larger cities to speak. There will be people who will follow these storytellers and go to other places to tell them. Storytellers will eventually become a profession to earn a living, and they will bring these stories to various places in the Tang Dynasty.

Xia Hongsheng himself, seeing that the effect of storytelling and publicity is so good, he is not worried. Instead, he devoted himself to the construction of the printing workshop.

This time, Xia Hongsheng is still ready to bring in those gentlemen and Li Chengqian, Li Ke and others, although there will be fewer dividends in this way, but it can avoid a lot of trouble. Because in the future, Xia Hongsheng also wanted to use the printing workshop to distribute Datang's newspapers and publications, as a platform for Datang intellectuals to discuss and display. An open, inclusive and objective platform plays an immeasurable role in the diffusion and transmission and popularization of knowledge, the correct interpretation and downward movement of imperial court policies, and the collection of feedback and voices from the people in the imperial court. Newspapers and publications will become the eyes and ears of the people to understand the imperial court, and they will also become the eyes and ears of the imperial court to understand the people. However, it will also be attacked by many people. At least, the article of arguing about the government and politics can make some people hold on to it and attack the Printing Bookstore and Xia Hongsheng. Xia Hongsheng believes that Li Shimin can see the benefits of this and will not interfere too much, but he must also guard against some people making a big fuss about this.

Therefore, more people will come in and bring in Li Chengqian and Li Ke, so that if they are really attacked in the future, more people will come out to share the impact, and they will also be able to get the support of more bigwigs. Therefore, most of Xia Hongsheng's business has pulled these gentlemen into the gang, and it is precisely because of this that his business has been smooth sailing, and no one has come out to be embarrassed.

The first person to be identified was Changsun Chong. The eldest grandson's family has a papermaking industry in Luoyang, and printing needs a lot of paper.

Don't look at these gentlemen all day long, in fact, they are still very reliable in business, let them go back and ask the elders in the family to recruit some people who are good at writing, and when the printing office opens, there can be only one copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Therefore, Xia Hongsheng planned to ask them to go back to find some scribes, write a few books such as discourses and literary theories, and publish them to support the faΓ§ade when they opened.

The printing workshop is not only used to print books, Xia Hongsheng's plan is to turn the printing workshop into a publishing house and "Xinhua Bookstore" of the Tang Dynasty!

After this decision, Xia Hongsheng, a cultural thief, also began to wonder which book he should steal in the future next. (To be continued.) )
