I rely on talking to brush the copy

Early on Saturday morning, Yang Jinglun came to visit excitedly and couldn't wait to announce: "Sir, the publishing house of your anthology has decided to print more copies!"

He said excitedly: "Those people in the newspapers who criticize you every day can't sell their own articles, so how can they have the nerve to speak ill of your works?"

Le Jing was stunned for a moment, so fast? He remembered that the first printing of 10,000 copies by the publishing house was already sold out in just one week? In later generations, 10,000 copies may sound like a small amount, but the sales of best-sellers in later generations are in the millions. But this was the Republic of China, where the literacy rate was low and intellectuals existed like giant pandas. It was already a small miracle that 10,000 books could be sold in a week.

Faced with Le Jing's question, Yang Jinglun asked firmly: "Sir, you haven't read the newspaper in recent days, have you?"

[As I write this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝘵𝘸𝘬𝘢𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮]

Le Point nodded.

During this time he has been busy with his studies. Before he came through, Li Jingran was already in his second year of high school. Li Jingran's grades in junior high school were pretty good. However, after entering high school, he made careless friends and was unable to resist the temptation of the colorful world. He quickly degenerated into a playboy who was prostituted, gambled and drugged. In other words, Li Jingran's high school career was all about playing around and he didn't learn anything.

Now that Le Jing is a sophomore in high school, he naturally has to work harder to make up for the missed homework. Forget about newspapers, even eating now feels like a waste of time for him.

So Yang Jinglun smiled and said: "No wonder sir, you don't know. Marshal Xue liked your "Memoirs of a Prostitute" very much. Not only did he book the theater for three days in a row for his subordinates and friends to read, he also praised the book in private. Youdao If there is something good at the top, it must be good at the bottom. In ancient times, there was a king of Chu who liked a thin waist, and there were many people in the palace. Starved to death, there is a book that Marshal Xue is curious about, and the bookstore is selling out. You, you are taking advantage of Marshal Xue!" As soon as he finished speaking, he realized the ambiguity of his words, and quickly said: "Of course it is also because of you, sir! The article itself is excellent, that’s why it sells so well.”

In fact, what Yang Jinglun said just now has gone a bit too far. If the author were a little more noble, maybe everyone would fall out because of these words. He carefully observed Mr. Li's face and found that he had a thoughtful expression without the slightest hint of offended anger. He breathed a sigh of relief, mentally laughing at himself for being too nervous. Mr. Li's open-mindedness and magnanimity are extraordinary. How can he be compared to those hypocritical authors who only know how to be noble?

After chatting for a while, Yang Jinglun finally mentioned the purpose of his visit: "Sir, it's been almost a month. Do you have any ideas about the serialization of the new pen name?"

Can Le Jing say that he has been immersed in the ocean of knowledge during this period and has forgotten this incident?

There is a saying that it is good to stop updating for a while, but it is always good to stop updating. Since his Night Watch pen name was banned, he only had to write three thousand words of "The Rise of Dynasty" serially every day. Because he had a complete outline in mind, he only needed to spend more than two hours a day. The rest of the time he spent on studying and memorizing. Well, he didn't want to be slapped by Mr. Bai. Not only is it embarrassing, but after all, he relies on writing articles for a living. What if his hand is broken?

So when faced with the urging of his own editor, Le Jing showed a confident smile: "I already have an idea, but I still need to refine it. It will probably take a few days to complete the manuscript."

Out of trust in Lejing's past scams, Yang Jinglun immediately believed his words, and with the wonderful expectation that he would be the first reader of his new article in a few days, he happily returned empty-handed.

Le Jing originally wanted to go to the city library to borrow some books this afternoon, but he didn't want to go anywhere now. He just stayed in the study room to conceive of new works.

But the precious thing about plans is that they are often changed. In the afternoon, Editor-in-Chief Wang of the "Beiping Novel Newspaper" came to visit. Of course he didn't come empty-handed. He also brought a large package of "gifts" to Le Jing - a hundred letters from readers.

"This is a representative letter from readers selected by our editorial department. Do you think it will be convenient for you to reply to it when?"

Le Jing:……

He sighed inwardly and smiled: "Okay, I will reply as soon as possible."

"The Rise of Dynasties" has a wide audience, with readers from all walks of life. By reading their letters, he can get a brief glimpse into their lives, which is conducive to the accumulation of writing materials, so he is very willing to open letters from readers. of.

[Hello, sir, I am a dock worker with little knowledge and limited literacy. Please forgive me if there are any mistakes or omissions.

Reading is the most annoying thing for me on weekdays. I get a headache when I read those dense words. But ever since I heard some chapters of "The Rise of a Dynasty" from a teacher on the street one day, I have been completely fascinated by this novel. I have never heard such a wonderful and refreshing story!

In order to see the serialization of "The Rise of Dynasties" as soon as possible, I looked it up in the dictionary while reading it. I also learned a lot of words and gained a lot of new knowledge, all thanks to Mr.'s book! 】

Interest is the best teacher. Le Jing remembered his elementary school days, when the seventh "Harry Potter" "Deathly Hallows" had just been released in the UK. In order to read the ending of "Harry Potter" as soon as possible, a neighbor's sister who was a bad student had to look up the English dictionary while finishing the raw meat with difficulty. As a result, her English scores improved by leaps and bounds, from being at the bottom of her age bracket to being in the top 30.

If his "Rise of Dynasties" can arouse a person's interest in learning and promote the learning of his readers, then this book is successful. He looked at the sender's name on the envelope and found that it was actually an acquaintance - Liao Fang. That day, he was assigned by Nantang to climb over the wall at night but was bitten by two dogs he raised. Le Jing gave him some medical expenses, and he never saw this person again since then. Unexpectedly, this person also became his reader.

Le Jing thought of the cannon fodder brother Li Jingliang who sent him a reader's letter a few days ago, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Did he get a buff that would turn all cannon fodder into fanboys? Or did he actually get the script of Qingwen this time when he traveled through time, but the script of the protagonist of Jinjiang Wanrenmi?

He thought about it and wrote back to this reader: "In my opinion, your writing level is already very good. My work can help you learn and improve, so it is meaningful. I look forward to your better development in the future."

Not long after, Le Jing opened another letter that made him feel very emotional.

【Hello, Mr. Lin Zhongqi. I am Wei Chenxi, the head of Xiahe Township. I am sending you this thank-you letter on behalf of all the people in our township.

Many people in Xiahe Township are illiterate, so I often read newspapers with the villagers on weekdays. I have read many novels serialized in "Peking Novel Newspaper" with everyone. It can be said that most people in our township are loyal readers of "Peking Novel Newspaper". But in the past, everyone listened to the newspaper just to kill time and forgot what they heard. But Mr.'s serialized "Dynasty Rise" is different from those novels!

I have never seen a novel as imaginative, interesting, and inspiring as "Dynasty Rise"! It was also from the novel "Dynasty Rise" that I knew what time travel is and what time and space reversal is. I realized for the first time that in addition to the world we live in, there may be other worlds. That world breeds a history and civilization different from our world. Every time I think of this, I am fascinated and wish I could go there in person!

But soon, I found that the value hidden in the novel "Dynasty Rise" was more than I thought. Although it sprouted in the air of fantasy and grew into a towering tree, it has always been deeply rooted in the soil of reality, absorbing nutrients from our Chinese civilization.

In your article, you told readers how to distinguish between poisonous and non-toxic wild vegetables, how to cook locusts as food, how to find water sources, how to dig wells and dig canals, how to make traps to catch prey... You took the trouble to describe these "trivial" contents in detail. To be ashamed, at first I didn't realize your good intentions at all. Instead, because of the fantasy of the article itself, I didn't care about these contents, and even thought that the author was making up the word count to get the manuscript fee.

Out of my intellectual arrogance, I completely ignored the knowledge that benefited the people that you conveyed. If it weren't for this autumn harvest, many villages in Xiahe Township had reduced grain production due to years of drought, but the villagers of one village followed the method you provided in "The Rise of Dynasties" to dig wells and divert water to farmland for irrigation, thus avoiding the reduction of grain production, I am afraid I would have lived in my narrow-mindedness and arrogance.

It was only after that that I learned that many villagers had already picked wild vegetables according to the method you provided, and some people even went into the mountains to hunt and returned with a full load. Even catching locusts has become a rare delicacy on the people's tables. Many villagers have organized to dig locust eggs together. Fried locust eggs do not require oil and taste particularly delicious, which is very popular among the people.

Therefore, in my opinion, "The Rise of Dynasties" is no longer a simple recreational literature. It can enlighten the people and save lives. Just this point is enough for you to be canonized! Maybe you think I am exaggerating. I think the so-called saint is to "establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, and open peace for all generations." Anyone who meets one of these points can become a saint. So in my heart, you are a saint. 】

After reading the letter, Le Jing couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.

What is a saint?

The traditional Chinese character for "圣人" is "圣人", with an "ear" on the upper left to represent hearing the truth and understanding the truth of heaven and earth; a "口" on the upper right to represent spreading the truth and educating the public; and a "王" on the lower right to represent the virtue of commanding all things as a king, and the virtue is practiced everywhere. Han Yu said in "元道": "In ancient times, people were harmed by many things. When a sage appeared, he taught them the way of mutual support."

Le Jing did not think that he had made such a great achievement, nor was he arrogant enough to think that he could be compared with the sages. He just did what any modern person who has experienced a comfortable life of food and clothing in the future and enjoyed the influence of freedom and democratic civilization would do, so there is nothing to praise about it.

But he still felt happy.

Not because of the illusory things such as others' gratitude, but because his works have achieved good results in fighting against this fucked-up era.

He even thought narcissistically that perhaps his tiny efforts at this time could really move the wheel of civilization forward a few millimeters.

The author has something to say:

I was supposed to write more in this chapter, but there is a reason why I didn't do it!!!

When I wrote more than a thousand words, I put a book on the computer keyboard while making the bed... When I finished, I was dumbfounded, my document of more than a thousand words disappeared!!! Damn, I accidentally pressed the book on the delete key!!!

So angry!

So I can only choose to rewrite itQUQ

I will try my best to write more tomorrowQWQ

And because I was afraid that you would say that the protagonist is narcissistic, I have never mentioned it in the main text. Le Jing chose to change society because he actually has a deep narcissistic tendency. Because he thinks that the brilliance of human nature is beautiful, he subconsciously thinks that he is also beautiful as a pioneer who strives to change society. This is the origin of his inexplicable sense of mission.
