Crossing the Ming Dynasty to be the magistrate

"So, this book was written by you, Zhengqing, to rectify the Mengyang script market?" Xu Jing laughed.

Wen Yu nodded in shame, but ended up rectifying herself first.

Xu Jing thought for a while, and then asked: "Then when the popularity of this book dies down, has Zhengqing thought about what to do? Aren't those miscellaneous books coming out again?"

Wen Yu replied: "I originally thought that when this book is finished, I will write another one or two. These things will become popular, and the world will naturally follow suit. At that time, Wen Yu will no longer care. As a result Now that it’s like this, I’m completely out of the mood.”

Xu Jing couldn't bear to see him depressed, and comforted him: "I don't think everyone would guess it was you, who would have thought that someone would write a book with his own name. I was so familiar with Zhengqing's tone of voice that I knew it right away. This book is written by you, Zhengqing wants to write it with confidence and boldness, I like your book very much."

Wen Yu cheered up after hearing what he said.If you think about it carefully, if you don't stick to the end, wouldn't it be useless to do this book before.But he doesn't intend to write like this anymore. Now that the market is so chaotic, it's better to keep these things in his own hands than to let things go their own way.

Immediately, he contacted the bookseller who had submitted the manuscript before, and the owner of the bookseller, Qin Gaojian, walked into the county office tremblingly. Could it be that the bookstore's marketing strategy was not satisfied by the county magistrate?

Wen Yu asked him to sit down, and then slowly said: "I wonder if Boss Qin is interested in the newspaper?"

Qin Gao was taken aback when he saw this, and immediately responded that his chance to make his mark had come. Who didn't know that County Magistrate Wen could turn stone into gold.It is estimated that praying to Buddha was effective a few days ago, and the pie finally fell on his head. The little chicken pecked at the rice and nodded: "I am interested, I am interested! To be honest, Caomin has long thought of binding several stories into a book and selling it like this. However, the level of people who come to our bookstore to contribute manuscripts is uneven, and it is difficult to find someone with outstanding literary talent like your lord!"

Hearing what he said, Wen Yu also felt that the boss was a man of pursuit, so he continued: "It's not difficult, and now Wen Yu has a certain appeal in Mengyang, and he can also vote for his next book." To your bookstore, it’s just serialized. You can also put some other excellent works in the newspaper and classify them into categories. Those with ghost plots can be classified into the strange category, and those who write market anecdotes can be classified into the daily category..."

Yes, what Wen Yu adopted was exactly the strategy Mr. Jin Yong used to run Min Pao.It relies on serial novels to attract readers, but there is one difference. He does not plan to publish other content in this newspaper except for short stories. The form is more similar to the modern "Story Club". There are relatively few, and the content of the printed book is not sufficient, so it is presented in the form of a newspaper.

The feudal imperial society will lose its head if it is not careful.He should write novels honestly, and he plans to take two scribes to sit there, screen the content, it doesn't matter if it's sidelines, but things that really talk about government affairs must not be published!In this way, even if someone sues him for taking profits from the people, he can use the excuse of supervising speech to go back.

Boss Qin was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he never thought that there would be such an operation. He immediately cast his eyes on Wen Yu's admiration, followed all of Wen Yu's orders, and continued to operate on a basic basis. In the end, Qin Gaojian became the leader in the publishing industry of the Ming Dynasty. wealthy businessman.This is something for later, let's not talk about it for now.

After Qin Gaojian left, Wen Yu began to conceive his second book.

The first book he wrote was about the princess and the domineering prince, but for the second book, he planned to write a time-traveling story.Because this time it is to promote the newspaper, so I can't do whatever I want like last time.

Although the content of Ling Long Ji is substantial, it is still despised by some literati and bureaucrats with women as the first perspective, and most of the audience are young students and people in the boudoir.

This time I can’t write about fighting for hegemony, but I’m talking about an ordinary scholar named Ouyang Zilong from the Ming Dynasty who traveled back to the Han Dynasty and helped Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fight the Huns, govern the country and appease the people. Hou Baixiang, the story of power in the court and the public.

Wen Yu himself wrote the official account, and he was familiar with playing with the pen in his previous life.In order to write a good article this time, he typed up an outline of several thousand words, and wrote the character design in detail.

The protagonist Ouyang Zilong naturally has to conform to the aesthetic standards of this era in terms of appearance and morality, capable of both literary and military skills, and is gentle and elegant, and he must be given a decent identity, preferably the young son of an official family or something like that.The Ming Dynasty was different from modern times, there was no counterattack of hanging silk.Most of the people at this time are very sensitive to the aspect of class. It is better for you to succeed in writing a princely son, but it will be easier for people to accept.

The same is true for female characters. Wen Yu strives to cover the tastes of all kinds of people.Some are lively and lovely, some are deserted and lonely, some are graceful and luxurious, and some are Xiaojiabiyu.

Recalling that when he traveled through time, stock speculation was popular in modern society, so he also planned to invite the most talented painters in the city to draw several heroines.There is a hot atmosphere around the sale.Finally, you can also conduct an offline voting to choose your favorite heroine or something.

Wen Wenyu put a lot of effort into this article, and of course the effect is very good.

According to what Qin Gaojian said, he wanted to sell newspapers as a matter of fact. Although a copy was only three pennies, he couldn't stand to sell many points.

As soon as the newspaper came out, everyone was attracted by this new thing, and it was sold out in less than a quarter of an hour, because the first newspaper had the official seal on it, indicating that it was the official designated partner of Mengyang County.So that other people dare not print privately.Qin Gaojian counts money every day until he can see his teeth but not his eyes.

This newspaper was named "Mengyang Tabloid" by Wen Yu. Although the name is earthy, it points directly to the center.Tabloids, tabloids, are destined to be things that don't talk about national affairs but only talk about romance.Although some old pedants still feel that this thing is not on the table, but it can't stand the exciting content.

Now in Mengyang, you don’t have a Mengyang tabloid, and you haven’t read Wen Yu’s new book, so you simply can’t communicate with others.This newspaper even flowed to other places along the hands of Mengyang merchants.Now not only in Sichuan, but in the entire southwest region, many people are waiting for the Mengyang tabloid to be updated every week.

Wen Yu struck while the iron was hot, and wrote some new essays while updating the old articles.These articles are basically fables and fairy tales, which are suitable for all ages and can educate the common people.As a result, more people bought Mengyang tabloids. They used to be adults, but now those with children are pestered to buy them.Thanks to the rapid economic development of Mengyang, the people have a lot of spare money.

On the other hand, Wen Yu's short stories also inspired other contributors, and many of them stopped sticking to novels and novels, and gradually enriched their themes.The imagination and creativity of the literati in the Ming Dynasty were quite outstanding, and even Wen Yu couldn't help admiring a few articles.

One of the books called "The Young Detective of Ming Dynasty" attracted his attention.It mainly talks about a young man's elder brother who is the minister of the criminal department and handles cases all over the country.And he assisted his brother on the sidelines, and finally became famous.

When he saw the young brother holding his hand gratefully, and excitedly said: "Fortunately, we have you at home, my brother depends entirely on you", he couldn't help it anymore.Walking to the backyard, he pushed open the door: "Wen Qiong, you brat, you're going to have a trial soon and you still do these useless things! I think your skin is itchy again!"

At this time, Wen Qiong was still writing a book with Tang Yin, and he conceived Tang Yin's draft.Seeing Wen Yu jumping up from the stool all of a sudden, she tried to cover the desk in a panic. "Big brother, why are you here? I'm discussing poetry with Tang Yin." He smiled at Wen Yu flatteringly, and then winked at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin received the message, although he was very afraid of the angry Wen Yu, he still mustered up his courage and said timidly: "Yes, we are discussing poetry, just saw, saw... Brother Wen, I'm sorry, I'm going home first! In the end Tang Yin couldn't make it up under Wen Yu's murderous eyes, and left in a panic.

Wen Qiong accused her little friend of being disloyal with her eyes, while looking at her elder brother anxiously.Seeing his virtue, Wen Yu was angry and funny: "Come on, don't pretend, don't you want to be the master of this family, and let me rely on you, if I rely on you, the whole family will starve to death now!"

Wen Yu said with a playful smile: "How can I, I will definitely honor my elder brother in the future, and I will also provide for my elder brother's old age!"

"I have a son of my own and I still need you to raise it! How is your preparation for the exam? The exam is only a few days away. If you can't pass it, be careful of your skin!" Wen Yu threatened.

Wen Qiong nodded confidently: "Brother, don't worry, wait until your younger brother brings you a case back."

Wen Yu shook her head. The boy's examination in the Ming Dynasty was divided into three steps, the county examination, the government examination, and the courtyard examination. Those who passed all three examinations were called scholars.The county test is just the simplest test, but when you go to the government test, you have to take the test in Chengdu. Not to mention that the difficulty has increased a lot. The main reason is that Wen Qiong is not familiar with the place where he was born in Chengdu. is worrying.

Just as I was thinking about it, a yamen servant came to report, saying that he had the documents above.Wen Yu opened it to look, and found that it was the notice issued by the Chengdu Mansion, asking Wen Yu to report to the mansion immediately, and there must be no mistake.

Wen Yu was puzzled, but the person who sent the document was just a small official, and he didn't know anything when asked, but the tone of the document did not seem to have any bad words.Just planned to go to Chengdu Mansion with Wen Qiong this time.Before leaving, he specially sent someone to inform the inspection department, so that Xu Jing wouldn't be anxious if he couldn't find anyone else.

After making arrangements, he and Wen Qiong set off on the road.Chengdu Mansion is very close to Mengyang, they arrived there in one day and one night by car.Wen Yu felt different after entering Chengdu Mansion, although Mengyang has developed better recently.But compared with the capital, there is a huge difference in terms of population size and urban construction, so I still have to work harder.Wen Yu sighed.

Wen Yu went to the Chengdu Mansion to report on his work after a brief freshening up, but was stopped shortly after he entered. The yamen servant told Wen Yu that the magistrate was busy with work recently and asked him to wait a few days when he went back.

What the hell! ?Letting herself come over overnight without summoning him, Wen Yu returned to the post station with question marks all over her head.Anyway, it's okay, just take the exam with my brother.Wen Yu thought so, so he relaxed and beat his brother all day long while eating and sleeping.Poor Wen Qiong suffered day and night, and finally made it to the mansion to try.

The government examination process is almost the same as the county examination. It is divided into three sessions: post scriptures, essays, and policy theory. The examination lasts four days and 50 people are admitted.

When the last round came out, Wen Yu looked at his refreshed younger brother, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

Wen Qiong lost his nerve again: "Brother! You just wait for my champion to give you a pension!"

"roll roll roll!"
