Chongzhen Chat Group

When Liu Mao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. The emperor had a new idea, which must be brilliant! He quickly bowed and replied respectfully: "I respectfully listen to the holy voice!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said to him: "You are now selecting some eloquent talents in the post system, and hiring some storytellers to train these people to tell stories, and to write some popular stories for people to use." The station with high traffic starts to teach storytellers..."

"..." When Liu Mao heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless, and his originally high expectations suddenly dropped a lot. I thought the emperor had some very good ideas, but unexpectedly he just wanted to have more storytellers in the inn!

Thinking this way, there was a hint of disappointment or loss on his face. Although it was very subtle, it was still captured by Emperor Chongzhen.

Haha, have you underestimated this idea? Emperor Chongzhen smiled in his heart and was not angry. He continued: "Of course, I will also give you some stories. Well, they are long stories and let the storytellers in the station system tell them. No matter who they are, as long as they want to listen, There is a charge, but the price should be affordable to ordinary people. Of course, at the beginning, you can also use free trial promotions to attract people."

"I obey the order!" Liu Mao heard this and bowed in response. Although this matter is very ordinary, since it was ordered by the emperor, it must be carried out.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and suddenly said in a louder voice: "But there is another requirement for storytelling, that is, there must be advertising time during the storytelling process..."

At this point, he saw Liu Mao looking at him with a trace of doubt in his eyes, and he immediately explained: "Advertising means spreading the word widely, and this has requirements. Usually some important decrees of the court must be announced in This storyteller is interpreted during pauses, so that everyone who comes to listen can understand it and understand the imperial decree. As for commercial advertisements, well, you can also accept some. That is to say, the goods of a certain merchant are good, and what dishes in a certain restaurant are delicious If you speak for them, you will naturally have to charge them a fee."

"..." Liu Mao was stunned. There is such a way to tell stories? It seems...it seems that I can also make a little money? However, he also understood that the emperor asked him to come here this time to plan such a story-telling event within the inn system. It is estimated that the purpose of nine out of ten is to interpret the important decree of the imperial court. However, is this necessary?

At least Liu Mao currently does not realize the importance of this matter. In other words, in this era, no one has realized the importance of influencing public opinion through this method.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a moment and then gave him instructions: "Half of the income from the storytelling will be used to improve the lives of the slaves at the post station, and the other half will be handed over to the inner treasury. Well, I didn't get it for free, at least I will compare it. For a long period of time, I provide stories to storytellers in the inn. This should be regarded as copyright fees. By the way, if storytellers from other places also steal my stories, they will tear them down. This is not allowed!"

"..." Liu Mao was speechless again. The emperor made up stories for the storyteller to tell? Is this...is this reliable? How many people will come to listen?

At least in Liu Mao's view, this matter is a bit unreliable. He didn't think that the emperor could make up wonderful stories. Even if the emperor had the reputation of compiling books, if the stories were not wonderful, there would be very few people who would insist on listening to them. Those few incomes are probably not enough to pay for this. I still want to put half into the treasury and half to improve the life of the servants. I am even worried that other storytellers will steal the stories!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know that you are very good at managing politics and you have many fantastic ideas, but after all, your manpower is limited, and you cannot be good at everything! Yes, you have to work hard on this matter and find some reliable story writers to make up stories!

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly seemed to hear the emperor calling him, and then he realized that he was distracted.

Liu Mao was immediately startled and quickly bowed to apologize.

In his heart, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know that what he said would be unreliable in his opinion. If it really attracted him, would he be distracted? Haha, just wait and see!

So, he picked up seven or eight pages of paper from the imperial desk, and ordered the servant beside him to pass it to Liu Mao. At the same time, he said: "This is the story I just wrote. How about you take a look at the first few chapters?"

It is strange to say that after this time travel, the memory of the events in the later life not only did not weaken, but became clearer. Could it be that the two souls merged and the memory was strengthened?

But regardless of this now, at least I almost remembered the famous "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in later generations, and wrote it easily. Although it is vernacular, as long as it is a human being, the excitement of the story should be equally attractive, right?

Emperor Chongzhen chose this story because it is wonderful! This has been tested by countless people in later generations. You know, people in later generations know far more things and have heard more stories than people in this era. People in future generations will be fascinated by it. He doesn't believe that the level of entertainment in ancient times and those "urban" stories in ancient times can compete with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?

Another point is that this story mainly tells the story of Guo Jing's growth experience, encourages the quality of loyalty, and advocates the behavior of a chivalrous person. He needs this very much and needs to use this story to change the current Ming Dynasty.

He was thinking about it, but Liu Mao had already gotten the first few chapters and started reading. When he first read it, he couldn't help but feel disdainful when he saw that it was written in vernacular Chinese. If it hadn't been written by the emperor, he probably wouldn't have read it at all and just thrown it away.

At this time, he had no choice but to look down. This book tells what happened during the Song Dynasty, on a snowy day...

To be honest, for a story, the plot should be good, and the writing should also be good. Simple sentences can outline the environment the characters are in, and can accurately express the characters' emotions. In this regard, Mr. Jin Yong had this strength back then.

After reading the first chapter, Liu Mao seemed to have forgotten that this was a vernacular text that he disdained. Then he read on, and after reading two more chapters, he eagerly turned to the next one.

Just as I was looking at it, I turned it over again, but it turned out to be empty. It was gone! He quickly looked up and saw the emperor looking at him a little teasingly. It was only then that he came back to his senses and contacted the emperor's previous words. Suddenly, this story was like the finishing touch, bringing the whole idea to life!

Thinking of this, Liu Mao became excited, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, this... how long is this story? Has it always been like this... so exciting?"

"Haha, this is just the prelude, the real excitement is yet to come!" Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile. Seeing Liu Mao's expressions before and after, he was in a good mood.

The next chapter will probably be around 4pm.
