Early Tang Dynasty: Tell Li Er I'm a time traveler at the beginning

Chapter 562 Persuasion
Hearing what Li Chong said, Meng Jiao stopped pretending to Li Chong.

Originally, it was because the other party was a child, maybe if I humbled myself, the other party would let me go.

after all……

In his opinion, children are easy to coax, but what they get in return is the other party's contempt.

The other party thought he was cowardly.

and so……

Next, Meng Jiao also quickly took off the 'disguise', and said directly and honestly: "Your Highness, I am an official of the court, not a person who tells stories to children or sells sugar on the street. Please forgive me, there is nothing I can do about your Highness's request." do it."

The painting style became serious again.

Li Chong didn't speak either, just waited for a while, then sighed and said: "The world doesn't understand His Highness's heart, why does everyone underestimate these stories, could it be... this Fenghuo Opera princes, this Hongmen Banquet , isn’t it a story?”

"My Highness just wants to turn the original boring history books into stories that everyone can recite, and then...through these stories, I will further educate the world and let them understand some principles of life and doing things."

"You need to know...with copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; with people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses; with history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs."

"It is difficult to read history. A book of "Three Kingdoms" is full of biographies of everyone. Anyone who has read it will definitely find it boring."

"And there is a saying that interest is the best teacher. If you can arouse the interest of readers, especially young people, through a book of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", that is, a popular story, and then go deeper into it. Know the history."

"Then no matter how boring a book is, it may immediately turn into a cup of molasses in the eyes of those who don't want to read."

"and……"

"Can't the stories on the street teach people the truth? Do you have to read serious history books to teach people the truth?"

"Your idea of ​​the storyteller on the street is full of prejudice."

"Even if there are ghosts and ghosts, some of them teach people to be good."

"although……"

"The effect may not be obvious, it's more of a laugh."

"Maybe, out of 1 people, one person just happens to use it?"

I saw Li Chong scolding Meng Jiao.

Meng Jiao, who was scolded, also had to reflect on himself, thinking carefully about Li Chong's words.

He's not the kind of person who doesn't listen to others.

As long as the other party is reasonable.

I saw Li Zhong said again: "This is actually a great event to educate the people, but... this kind of thing is like spring wind turning into rain, moistening things silently."

"You never know when the truth in this story may be used."

"Or... I would rather not use them for the rest of my life."

"Because...they don't need it, it means they are doing well."

Although I don't know the meaning of Li Chong's last words.

but……

Meng Jiao was indeed persuaded by Li Zhong next.

think about it...

It seems to be such a truth!
The reason why he has a prejudice against those ghosts and ghosts on the street is actually... It's just that he personally thinks that this is a bit out of date.

If it were normal, he would not have such a big reaction.

after all……

People telling stories on the street didn't affect him, at most he just laughed it off.

main……

Just now His Royal Highness wanted him to be a dignified official of the Tang Dynasty to do such a thing.

That's why he felt that it was a bit of an insult to his identity.

After His Royal Highness just explained it, okay!
Although he still feels that this is something for entertainment, at least...

It's better to let him understand that besides entertainment, maybe it can play a little role.

then……

Meng Jiao said: "I really don't have much time. However, if His Highness is talented, I think about it carefully, and it is not completely unreasonable. If possible, I will use my spare time to try it out." .”

Li Zhong said: "Don't talk about trying. In the future, after you finish writing, I will print thousands of copies, or even hundreds of thousands, millions of copies. At that time... I plan to sell the book to Liao Kingdom, Jiaozhi, etc. It’s not impossible to consider the Western Regions.”

Meng Jiao: "..."

"Again, what's the purpose?"

Li Chong said: "Of course it is to make money. If you don't make money, how can you print more books? If you don't print more books, how can you make every commoner in Datang afford books? My goal is that everyone can Affordable to read. Everyone can understand things!"

like……

This will kill him.

but……

I can't think of that much anymore.

It's better than standing still, when the time comes... it's better to drag yourself to death, isn't it?
and……

That being said, in fact, if you really want to do what he said, it can only be said that there is a long way to go.

Even in later generations, not everyone can understand the truth, let alone now.

to be frank!
Meng Jiao could tell.

Your Highness has a certain lofty ambition.

only……

It might be better if His Highness's ambition is not so biased.

and……

This pair of small body, reasonable, simply can not support such a lofty ambition.

It's not that Meng Jiao underestimated him.

But...

This is the truth!
Meng Jiao: "But Your Highness, I really don't know how to write."

Li Chong: "You can't, I can teach you. Now, I have sorted out the first half of the outline for you."

"In the beginning, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and then there were three heroes, Liu Guanzhang, who planned to recruit brave men from the countryside to serve the imperial court."

"In the process of suppressing the rebellion, I met Cao Mengde, a capable minister in the world and a treacherous minister in troubled times."

"can only say……"

"In the process of writing, it is best to restore their original colors as much as possible."

"For example, Soochow loves Lolita, Cao Wei loves wives, and Shu Han loves gays."

Meng Jiao: "..."

Li Chong: "Cough! What I mean is that Soochow is good at protecting itself, and Cao Wei's goal is to unify the world. As for the Shu Han... it is to restore the Han Dynasty."

"It is necessary to write about the grassroots of Soochow, falling on both sides, Cao Wei's dominance of the world, and the loyalty and bravery of Shu Han."

"Especially this Guan Yu, "Three Kingdoms" may only record what he said to Zhang Liao, saying that Liu Bei is his elder brother, Cao Gong is also good to him, but if he can learn about his elder brother, he must I will still return to my brother's side."

"At this time... in the process of Guan Yu returning to Liu Bei, a little bit of artistic exaggeration can be carried out. For example, it is said that he traveled thousands of miles alone to escort his sister-in-law back to Liu Bei. Guan, behead six generals."

Meng Jiao could only say that he was dumbfounded.

Li Chong also knew that at this time, it was indeed a bit difficult to understand.

but……

Then he will give him an example.

first……

He had to take out a copy of "Three Kingdoms", and then, according to the text, Li Chong taught Meng Jiao how to exaggerate reasonably.
