Retrograde for thousands of years

Chapter 63
The Imperial Capital is a super metropolis with a population of nearly one million. There are many large and small entertainment venues. Various operas and storytellers emerge in an endless stream. If a piece becomes popular, it will quickly spread throughout the Imperial Capital, just like today's Ruyi Tower.

"It is said that when the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggar, Eastern Evil, Western Poison, and the Supernatural Power, were competing in martial arts and swordsmanship in Huashan Mountain, suddenly a stone cave not far away collapsed. There was a harp and a jade box inside. When I opened it, it turned out to be a book. A martial arts secret book called the Three-Point Manual.

It was written by Zhou Huan, a great scholar of the imperial court, 30 years ago. At that time, Zhou Huan was ordered to edit the Dao Zang. He was worried about making mistakes, so he browsed through all the [-] volumes of the Dao Zang, and unknowingly obtained extremely advanced martial arts..."

The entire open space of Ruyi Building was packed with seats, and the storyteller was calmly telling a story about the Legend of the Condor Heroes.

This is a wonderful book, it became popular within five days after it was first taught, and even the palace heard about it ten days later, and now, not only ordinary people, but even martial arts masters are listening to this book here.

Of course, the reason why this book became so popular so quickly is not only due to the Wudang Clan, but Zhou Huan also put in some other efforts, which are not enough to be described for outsiders.

"Haven't you heard of the title of Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar, Eastern Evil and Western Poison?"

A person from the rivers and lakes sat in the front row, drinking herbal tea and tasting pastries.

"Before the lecture started, all the storytellers said that it was just a false idea. They were afraid of arousing taboos from the government and created a new world. Do you understand?"

"It means that Grandmaster Zhou didn't follow the court to the south to get married, but stayed in the capital city."

Another martial artist on the side looked at his companion with disdain and listened intently to the following story.

This Legend of the Condor Heroes, which has been modified by Zhou Huan, attracted countless eyeballs as soon as it was released. The unprecedented storyline, various fights and love affairs, and thrilling conflicts made The Legend of the Condor Heroes quickly become popular among people. accepted.

Of course, this was also due to Zhou Huan's advertising and marketing. He hired people to print thousands of copies of the first ten episodes and then distributed them to various places for people to watch. Although it cost a lot of money, the effect was very good.At the same time, Zhou Huan also personally trained several groups of navy troops, and even used the gimmick of three-point truth to attract the audience.

Thanks to the contacts of the Wudang School, the hard work of the owner of Ruyilou Qian, and the advertising and marketing model that has never been seen in this world, coupled with the quality of this book, The Legend of the Condor Heroes quickly came to life.

The story was told quickly, but when the storyteller named the author Wang Huan and said he would decompose it next time, the audience reluctantly left.

In the back room of Ruyi Building, Zhou Huan was discussing business with several people.

Of course, a storytelling business can't make much money, but what about a hundred teahouses?
In this era without copyright protection, when a storytelling business is good, there will naturally be many imitators. This is why Zhou Huan introduced the Wudang Sect. Of course, the Wudang Sect will not blatantly intervene, but the Wudang Sect's entry-level disciples, vassal forces, etc. They can help, they can ensure that those restaurants pay, and they can also ensure that some restaurants cannot tell this story.

Although the Wudang Sect pays great attention to dignity, they will not give up when they encounter the benefits they deserve. Although the Baiyun Temple in the Imperial Capital is allocated a lot of money every year, there are many Wudang Sect disciples who cannot bear to visit the Imperial Capital and come to fight against the autumn wind and borrow money. There is an endless stream of people. Unless there are mountains of gold and silver, everyone can only sit and eat.

"Mr. Wang has finished speaking about the Legend of the Condor Heroes this time, do you have any other ideas?"

Brother Wang has become Mr. Wang. Shopkeeper Sun is now very grateful to Zhou Huan for getting him to do this business. The popular scene in Ruyi Building makes him feel like he is in a dream. One day's income is equal to half a month in the past. This is not even Consider it a famous one.

Zhou Huan is giving him money. Now I don’t know how many bosses are out there trying to lure Zhou Huan to go to their place. Even the famous prostitutes in brothels are not as famous as Zhou Huan. Children in the streets will shout loudly when they fight. My Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

"I have a little idea, and I'm thinking about it now. At that time, I will need a large amount of money. At that time, I will ask shopkeeper Sun to help me invite the shopkeepers of the major teahouses to sit down..."

"Definitely, definitely."

"I plan to invest all the money I earn into the next business. In fact, the purpose of doing this business is just for this business..."

Shopkeeper Sun now finally believes that Zhou Huan is not the kind of person who wants money. All he wants when he comes to the imperial capital is to find his sister.

However, the girl named Wang Yunniang has no clue at all.

Zhou Huan's eyes fell on the drawing in front of him, with a gloomy look on his face.

"Is Wang Huan here?"

It was a bit chaotic outside, someone was talking loudly outside.Soon after, a group of people walked into the guest room at the back. The leader was a Beijing official in his 30s. Here in the capital, there are more officials than dogs. Ordinary people can get involved with officials in a roundabout way, but this does not mean that Beijing Officials are worthless. On the contrary, some small officials are not polite when they encounter local county magistrates and governors. The network of relationships they weave is very huge.

"Isn't this Li Wenshu? What kind of wind brings you here?"

Shopkeeper Sun saw this person and greeted him enthusiastically. There was a lot of trouble in the capital. When the business was not good, he did not look for it. When the business was good, all aspects were taken care of. These days, the storyteller business in Ruyi Building is booming. Many years ago, All the ghosts and monsters who came to fight the autumn wind came together.

This Li Wenwen belonged to the Ministry of Rites, so of course he would not take the initiative to join him. Shopkeeper Sun went to him personally to give him money. The Ministry of Rites was in charge of the Fireworks Restaurant among the six departments. The Master of the Ministry of Rites allowed those singing girls to accompany him for drinks at no cost at all - of course Shopkeeper Sun told Zhou Huan this sentence. Li Wenwen was a very shady person and he was ruthless in accepting money.

"Ruyilou's storytelling business is good. Mr. Qian likes the chapters written by Wang Huan very much. Are you Wang Huan?"

Li Wenwen looked at Zhou Huan with a downward gaze, or in other words, he missed it after just one glance. To explain it in a psychological way, it was completely inappropriate.

It's very simple to think about it. In Li Wenshen's opinion, this kind of vulgar market novel is no different from the ditty sung by the singing girls.

"Wang Huan, right? The thing is like this, please, in the back of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, when it comes to the Huashan Sword Discussing, you join the Huashan Sect and let the five absolutes be defeated by the leader of the Huashan Sect. It's like the return of the Five Sacred Mountains. Don’t look at the mountains, just like returning to Huangshan without looking at the mountains, let’s talk more about the Huashan School, so that everyone’s impression of the Huashan School will be deep, understand?”

Li Wenwen's voice was not high, but it was enough for Zhou Huan to hear clearly, but he had to listen attentively, otherwise he would miss some sentences. This way of speaking was the favorite of some little officials to torture the people below.

"not understand."

"Just understand...what?"

"I don't understand what you're saying. Do I owe you money?"

Zhou Huan completely ignored shopkeeper Sun's look and poured himself a cup of tea.

"you!"

Li Wenwen held his breath in his chest and pointed at Zhou Huan with trembling fingers.

"If you have any objections to my storytelling, you can write something and send it to me. I'll see if it's helpful and I'll definitely accept it, regardless of the fact that your tone of voice is a bit wrong."

"You, you, you, don't toast me and you will be punished with a drink!"

Li Wenwen's eyes became gloomy, "This is what the above said."

"Then let the superiors talk. There is no problem in changing the plot, as long as the money is paid. This book is the book that made me famous. It would be difficult to ruin my reputation."

Zhou Huan's expression was very calm, neither frightened nor frightened.

"In other words, the higher-ups gave you money, and then you came here and asked me to change the book with empty words? Li Wenshu, your business is really good."

"you!"

Li Wenshu reached out and patted the table, and said harsh words.

"Shopkeeper Sun, please think about it carefully. This matter is the intention of the master above. This Wang Huan is ungrateful. Aren't you afraid that this will affect you?"

The reason why tokens cannot be used to find people is because it is simply unrealistic to find Mrs. Tang - can this kind of most mysterious and powerful person in the world be found with a favor token?The same is true for Chen Yunying, let alone whether the other party can be found, how the other party will implement the request of an unknown person, and how to find it is a problem. It will definitely be posted.
