Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

No one did any real work.

When Yan Xuan and He Yuan opened their eyes and saw Miss Bai standing in front of them, they were panicked as if they had done something shameful.

"It's not like you're missing any meat, so don't be too nervous."

Luo Yu felt quite embarrassed to see the two teenagers who had just woken up, so he just pushed the door open and walked into the house. Unexpectedly, Xia Liang did not live in this room, which caused a big misunderstanding.

Yan Xuan's face flushed red. It was outrageous enough that he played with Miss Qin for half the night last night, but today Miss Bai saw him in such an embarrassing state after waking up. It was really embarrassing.

Fortunately, Miss Bai left in time, and he and He Yuan did not take off their clothes completely.

It must have been too hot at night and he slept too soundly.

When Qin Bingrui was awakened by Luo Yu's slap, drool was still flowing from the corner of his mouth. Two-thirds of his handsome face was ruined.

"Sister, are you up so early to work?"

"I didn't let Xiaoyi and Xiaodao go to the academy today, and I also asked the servant to go to the academy to ask for leave from the teacher. You should get up quickly, as you have the heaviest workload right now."

"There are two free laborers in the next room. I'll take them with me later. These two guys are young and really nice. You see, I made a lot of money from Yan Xuan. I guess they don't have money for food and accommodation. Now they can work for us. We can provide them with food and accommodation."

"..."

This was the first time that Luo Yu was convinced by his younger brother.

Fang asked her sister-in-law Gao to find two sets of Fang Qingdao's clothes for Yan Xuan and He Yuan. The three boys were about the same age and height, so they would just make do with them for now.

In order to take Baihu away smoothly, Yan Xuan and He Yuan had to obey Miss Qin, and most importantly, they owed her twenty taels of silver.

Qin Bingrui said that based on the market price of 18 wen a day for ordinary labor, it was a bit high to pay these two guys 20 wen a day including food and accommodation, and 20 taels a day, they could work for 500 days without stopping.

Just hold you two off for as long as you can.

Both sides have their own thoughts, so they just understand each other and don't bother with each other.

After breakfast, Qin Bingrui took Yan Xuan and He Yuan to find a carpenter to make bookshelves and special tables and chairs for the library. He also had to go to the labor market to find workers. There was a lot of work to do.

Yan Xuan was sent to find suitable labor to do house repairs, He Yuan was sent to find a first-class carpenter to bring back the building on Fenghuang Street, and Qin Bingrui was sent to find someone to make the door plaque.

Luo Yu called Bai Lingyi and Fang Qingdao over and started drawing the comic book.

Bai Lingyi only knew about the storybook but had never read it much. When he saw that Luo Yu wanted to express it in the form of a painting, he was a little surprised.

Luo Yu smiled and said: "Comic strips are found in ancient murals and books. They are just a creative technique. We are just promoting this technique.

Although storybooks can also express rich story content, many things that ordinary people have never seen before cannot be imagined. Comic books are different. All imaginations can be transformed into specific characters, scenes, or objects, which do not exist in reality and are purely imaginary.

Fang Qingdao thought about it, but still couldn't understand: "But how can I draw these imaginary things? Right now, I can only draw people and scenes that I have seen."

Luo Yu smiled and praised him: "Not bad, not bad, little cousin, you are very aware of your own shortcomings."

Fang Qingdao's face turned pale. Is it possible to praise someone like this?

Luo Yu took the two of them to the most beautiful view in the backyard, and asked the maid to bring pens, ink, paper, inkstone, tables and chairs.

Fang Qinglin and Fang Qianqian came to join in the fun. They like Sister Bai very much.

Luo Yu used Bai Lingyi's Wutian as an example.

I drew a cartoon character of a monkey, and the image was based on the image of Goku from Dragon Ball.

"Look, doesn't this monkey look like both a monkey and a human?

This is what we call a fictional character. Whether it's a person, an object, or a scene, they can all be created based on the author's imagination. This is the uniqueness of comic books. Using a storybook to describe them is simply no match."

"It's a monster!" Fang Qianqian shouted, pointing at the monkey in the painting. "But it's so cute."

"Yes, this monkey is a divine monkey that sprang out of a stone. It looks like a human, but it's not a human. In the past, our stories always had human protagonists, so comic books can break through this limitation. We can use anthropomorphic animals as protagonists, set in a fictional world, and even design some fictional skills, such as a flying carriage or a monkey that can ride on clouds."

This explanation was quite difficult, but fortunately, Bai Lingyi had heard of the Journey to the West story, and his eyes sparkled. It turned out that imaginary stories could be illustrated like comic strips. If the stories could be illustrated, wouldn't they be much more popular than the Mandarin version? Even illiterate children would be able to understand some of it! This was a brilliant idea. Sister Luo Yu really had a different mindset than others.

Luo Yu gave Fang Qingdao and Bai Lingyi the story outline of more than 3,000 words that he had written in one breath last night, asking them to digest the story content first.

She will then design images for the characters, as well as some relatively novel buildings and weapons, as well as particularly modern motorcycle fighters. There's nothing she can do about it, because their goal is to evolve the entire dynasty.

If it is promoted in a comic book, it won't be too obvious. It's nothing more than brainwashing everyone first, and then changing the timeline to the future, such as the Rong Dynasty eight hundred years later. I believe that the ruler will be so happy that he will laugh out loud.

Luo Yu plans to use the characters from The Journey to the West and the story of Dragon Ball to weave a new story, named "The Legend of Wutian", which tells the story of an unknown little monkey who fulfills his dream and becomes the Fighting Buddha in the hearts of the people.

After listening to it, Fang Qinglin clapped his hands and cheered: "It's amazing, Brother Ling Yi's little monkey has become the protagonist of the story."

In fact, no matter what the story is, the paintings in the story are the most important. Luo Yu wanted to draw the entire future world into it, but he didn't dare to use too much force. In the first few episodes, he could only explore it bit by bit.

Fang Qingdao and Bai Lingyi originally thought that Luo Yu could only create some new characters and buildings, but after discovering that with her guidance, even the common scenery became much more interesting. There were actually winding roads in the mountains that could accommodate various animals and vehicles, and the flowing rivers were connected by various magnificent bridges. Does this world really exist?

After Luo Yu told them the rest of the story, he asked the two of them to start exploring and creating it, such as the narration of the story and the dialogues between the characters. He asked them to try their best to follow the literary standards of the Rong Dynasty. If there were some new words, they could make annotations under the narration text.

After arranging things, Luo Yu began to tinker with other stories. If a library was to be established, it naturally could not only contain books found in this dynasty. If there were rare books, even if the Bai family wanted to learn from their model, they would not be able to compete. These rare books could not be borrowed and could only be read for free in the library.

The storybooks are meant to increase the fun, and are mainly a set of popular science readings that specifically explain human geography. Luo Yu wants to introduce these in the form of stories, such as 100,000 Whys and Three Thousand Questions of the Blue Cat?

If you are bolder, you can make a set of books on human history, animal migration, life on Earth (mainly 16 periods), secrets of the universe, and make dozens of them. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

With these rare copies that are not loaned out and the serialized comic books, the Bai family is no match for this model.

Thinking of this, a sly smile appeared on Luo Yu's face.
