happy rebirth

In order to promote the newspaper among the common people, the serialized stories on the fourth page must be the most important thing.

The first story is called "The Story of Cong Rong". This story was not written by Ke Qi, but the outline was provided by him. Simply put, it is a story of waste wood upgrading.The protagonist is an ordinary farmer named Xing Da. His biological mother died young and his stepmother was unkind. He was first divorced and then slandered by the villagers. Face, and finally towards the subversion of life.

There are not many such cool text routines in later generations of online novels, but they seem very novel in this era.

Although tragedies are easier to become classics, in fact, everyone loves cool novels.

Because, when people listen to a story, they always subconsciously stand in the protagonist's position and put their own feelings into it.

Before "Cong Rong Ji", it is not that there are no storytellers who have talked about Jin Ge Iron Horse and Desert Dust, but the protagonists in those stories are all well-known generals, and the protagonists have already stood at a level beyond the reach of ordinary people. High, although the story is tortuous enough and the content is cool enough, the audience will not substitute themselves into the protagonist.But now, the protagonist of "Cong Rong Ji" is just an ordinary farmer who can't read a few characters. He has no great family background and can only start from a small soldier.Such a protagonist is too suitable for traffickers and pawns to replace themselves.

The protagonist is down to earth!The story is cruel and cool! "Cong Rong Ji" will definitely become popular.

In the process of creating the outline of "Cong Rong Ji", Ke Qi tried to ask the little chubby Yu Zhi out.Because Qingyang Hou's Mansion and Zhen Guo Dajun's Mansion have reached a tacit understanding, they are willing to let the juniors deepen their relationship, and the little fat man has a good impression of "mutton soup", so he happily went to the appointment.

After Yu Zhi learned that Ke Qi wanted to write a novel about the border guards, General Yu had a conversation with Ke Qi in person.

As a member of the Yu family, the old general went to the battlefield at the age of 12, and had no choice but to return to Beijing to be raised in the middle of the Kairui years. He spent more than 50 years of his life in the army.His father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc., and his two sons all died on the battlefield.The old general has seen too many victories and too many deaths.He has seen too many sacrifices and too many betrayals.

He is the experiencer, and he is also the witness.

After hearing Ke Qi's plan, the old general sat in the yard and wiped his spear all night.

"Cong Rong Ji" is not the work of Ke Qi alone.The person who provided the materials was General Yu, the person who prepared the outline was Ke Qi, and the person who wrote the novel was Feng Liang.There is no way, compared to Yu Patriarch and Yu Zhi, who have to be drilled once a day when they say hello, but still persevere and grow into fat, Feng Liang, who grew up next to the old general, has a deeper affection for the border guards.Although he has never seen the battlefield, he can understand the heart of the old general.

In the first issue of "Qiu Lin Wen Bao", the plot of "Cong Rong Ji" can barely progress to the point where Xing Da is forced to defect to his cousin, and his military life has not yet begun.However, the complete outline of the story had already been submitted to the Long Case by Li Xu, the second son of Prince De's family, and asked Kai Ruidi to read it.And this is another purpose for Ke Qi to create this story.In this way, he is selling to the superiors.

Newspapers can manipulate public opinion.If there is no support from the superior, the main creator will be in danger after the superior responds.

This is not the future of freedom of speech, let alone a literati style.The values ​​promoted by newspapers must be mainstream values ​​in line with the wishes of those in power.Of course, the couple don't need to flatter Emperor Karui or the Li Dynasty, but they must ensure political correctness.

The existence of the remnants of the previous dynasty has been exposed. At this time, Emperor Kairui urgently needs to do something to prove his "imperial power granted by heaven", so as to completely turn the former dynasty into traitors. Although "Cong Rong Ji" mainly talks about the struggle history of a small person, the social background of the story will truly restore the situation from the end of the Yan Dynasty to the early years of the An Dynasty, and expose the darkness of the Yan Dynasty from the perspective of the border guards. justification of behavior.

This is not flattering to Mrs. Li.

For the border guards and the oppressed common people, life is indeed much better now than before.

In fact, the appearance of "Cong Rong Ji" was originally inspired by Ke Qi from Chunyangmen.

Didn't Chunyangmen deeply hate their family members?Don't you want to burn the grandson of the old general?

Ke Qi wanted to build momentum for the border guards, so as to endorse the Li Dynasty.

In the later stage of the story of "Cong Rong Ji", the protagonist has a certain right to speak in the army due to his accumulated military achievements.He saw his brothers going to the battlefield hungry and wearing single clothes, but the credit for their lives was easily taken away by others, and there were even some people in the rear colluding with the enemy for their own selfish desires... The protagonist sees more and more brothers dying without looking at their eyes, see Frontier Gradually unable to hold on, he finally decided to take refuge in the Ming Lord.This enlightened master is Emperor Karui.

Karidi couldn't be more satisfied with this.

The Yu family is also very grateful to Ke Qi.Because, the appearance of "Cong Rong Ji" can be said to promote the credit of the old general in disguise, even though the old general will be like a background board in the story.After Yu's family had given up control of the border guards for many years, even if the reputation of the old general went up to a higher level, Emperor Karui would not be afraid.However, Yufu, which is gradually declining, can be revitalized because of this.

And the benefits of "Cong Rong Ji" are not only that.

Due to technical limitations, the cost of running a newspaper at this time is very high.The couple had already invested a large amount of money in casting movable type. Although the money came from the Ding family, the Ding family did not need them to pay back the money in a short period of time, but the Ding family did not give the money for nothing!Ke Qi is already in "huge debt".At present, there is still a long way to go before newspapers become profitable. However, receiving, typesetting, printing, etc. every month still require a steady stream of money investment.Compared with the cost of the income from selling newspapers, it can only be regarded as a fraction.

In other words, every time a newspaper is published, the couple have to lose a lot of money.

It is true that Xie Jinhua can ask the Xie family for money.After the newspaper is completed, it benefits a lot, but only loses a little money. Xie Chunying is definitely willing to help them.But there is another problem involved. Strictly speaking, the newspaper is Xie Jinhua's independent business, not the public property of the entire Xie family, but it needs the Xie family to pour money into it. Even if Xie Chunying is willing, Ke Qi still hopes that the newspaper's financial Be able to be independent.

Since the appearance of "Cong Rong Ji" pleases Emperor Kairui, the emperor is of course willing to spend generously.

Karedi is rich.Before the Li family became a royal family, it was a big family, how could it not be rich?And after Emperor Kairui ascended the throne, he inherited Yan's treasury and private treasury. He slaughtered many families loyal to the Yan family, and took everything from these families for his own use, thus filling his private treasury.

With the funding from Kai Ruidi, at least for the next three years, Ke Qi will not have to post money in the newspaper by himself.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

In April, Xie Jinhua participated in the government examination and became the head of the government's case.

In June, Xie Jinhua participated in the hospital examination and became the head of the court case.

So far, Xie Jinhua ranked first in the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination, and achieved the small three-yuan achievement easily.

After the college examination, the entire children's examination was completely over. Xie Jinhua already had a reputation as a scholar and was able to participate in the rural examination in August.

As Xie Jinhua's master, Mr. Mu was very pleased with this.He even joked that if Xie Jinhua ranked first in the township examination, general examination, and palace examination, then he would be the sixth yuan.How many six yuan and first can there be throughout the ages?Every one that appears is a living "auspiciousness"!At that time, even if Xie Jinhua is still young, there is no need to continue to conceal his identity as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper.Because, since you have the talent of six elements and the first, you can't use the usual theory.However, Mr. Mu really said the so-called six yuan as a joke, and he didn't think it was easy to achieve.

The small three yuan can be easily achieved because the children's examinations are all objective questions.

Da Sanyuan really needs to be lucky, because most of the township examinations, general examinations and palace examinations are subjective questions.

At the end of June, Ke Qi finally gave birth.He wants to eat meat!Especially want to eat meat!When Xie Chunying held a celebration banquet for Xie Jinhua, she deliberately set the time for Ke Qi's filial piety.In this way, Ke Qi was finally able to officially appear in front of people at the banquet and entertain the guests with Xie Jinhua.

The day before the banquet, Xie Jinhua stood in front of the wardrobe and thought for a long time.

Ke Qi waited and waited on the bed. Seeing that Xie Jinhua never went to bed, he asked, "What's wrong? Haven't decided what to wear tomorrow?"

This is actually the job of Li Yang, a super life assistant. Xie Jinhua only needs to give a general direction, and Li Yang will be responsible for the daily outfits of the masters.Regardless of Ke Qi's straight man's aesthetics, he didn't think his vision would be better than that of a professional like Li Yang, so he didn't take away Li Yang's few remaining jobs.Now Ke Qi's clothes are all taken care of by Li Yang, and he puts them in the closet directly.

Xie Jinhua pulled up the sleeves of a crimson dress, motioned to Ke Qi, and asked, "Will you wear this tomorrow?"

Ke Qi said, "Since when have there been clothes in such bright colors in the closet?" He used to observe filial piety, and the colors of his clothes were mainly plain.Although Xie Jinhua has been a filial piety for a long time, Xie Jinhua doesn't like to dress too brightly.This crimson dress is really not their style.

"It was just added. I have one and you have one too. Shall we wear this?" Xie Jinhua said again.

Ke Qi smiled and shook his head: "Let's talk about it later, it's not suitable to wear this tomorrow. Xie Xiaosanyuan should dress plainly." Tomorrow's banquet will be full of literati, so Xie Jinhua must dress tastefully.As the protagonist, he is dressed so brightly, maybe people will think he is flamboyant.

Xie Jinhua had to admit that Ke Qi was right, so he had to give up his plan to dress like a groom with Ke Qi at the banquet.

Oh, what a disappointment.
