The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Printing began to be widely used in the Song Dynasty. Before that, although there were pictures and texts, it was restricted by various conditions, so no mature comics could be bred.

At this time, there are quite a few illustrated books, but they are still very different from comics, not to mention later comics.

Because of the previous movable type printing and the later printing of the "Tokyo Daily", the imperial court even united many private printing houses so that there was sufficient productivity.

This has also become one of the conditions Yun Yanhui believes that Zheng Ling, and his colleagues, can serialize comics in the "Tokyo Daily".

Yun Yan told Zheng Ling about this idea. When Yun Yan was a kid, various little books were popular in the market, so he painted his pictures very vividly.

"I think this is also a good thing. Quantitative changes can cause qualitative changes. If you want quantitative changes, you have to provide more demand first." Yun Yan replied, "You can work with your colleagues to draw the Three Kingdoms."

The theme of the Three Kingdoms is particularly popular. Although there is no "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at this time, the folk artists and the book club have created many versions of the Three Kingdoms stories. There are many wonderfully written stories that can be adapted.

Zheng Ling's heart was moved. He used to create mostly illustrations, and occasionally there are some murals depicting Buddhist scriptures, which are somewhat similar to this, and experience can be used for reference.

And Yun Yanhui also mentioned that some simple shots can be used to better reflect the story. To Zheng Ling, an insider, this really made him want to try.

Zheng Ling immediately nodded and agreed. He is now the leader of the young painters in the Hanlin Academy of Painting, and he has a certain appeal.

"That's it." Yun Yan also thought of a complete character chain in his mind, "Go and find, which book you want to modify, then we will go to the book and find the author. If you want to adapt, you will have to pay a copyright fee. ."

Zheng Ling immediately began to think about which story to change.

Zhao Yunchu said to the side, "Why don't you change the children's story first?"

"Hey, Xiaochu has a lot of ideas." Yun Yan smiled back, "It will definitely be possible in the future, but in order to be a blockbuster, I should choose a more reader-based story."

Zheng Lingwu thought about his adaptation target.

...

One day after the free clinic, Yun Yan went back to help Xiaobao and the others move the medical records back, and asked how they were doing here.

"I learned a lot." Xiaobao said happily. "The most valuable thing is that gentlemen don't hide their personalities. By the way, Brother Yan, do you know? There is something interesting here, which is to practice acupuncture and moxibustion for us. Of."

Xiaobao pointed to the classroom where they were in class and said: "Gentlemen invented two bronze men, filled them with water, and pierced them with acupuncture. If the correct acupuncture point is pierced, the water will flow, otherwise, the water will not flow."

Yun Yanhui always felt that he had seen similar things in modern TV dramas, but he didn't expect that it was invented by the Imperial Medical Bureau. The Imperial Medical Doctor is indeed a person who wants to do things.

"Then I will donate some bronze figures to you. There are only two in total. They are not enough for class," Yun Yan said back.

"Acupuncture and moxibustion can cause serious problems," Xiaobao said helplessly, and laughed again, "Brother Yan, you are so kind."

Yun Yanhui always felt like the kind of local tyrant who donated things to the school so as to open the back door for his children. It is a pity that this was run by the royal family, otherwise he might donate a dormitory.

——The school building of the Imperial Medical Bureau is really too few. Xiaobao and his dormitory have added another student. Yun Yan suspected that if he recruited more people, he would not be able to live there.

Du You also came to see Yun Yan back. He was busy with the free clinic all day long and didn't have time to say hello to him, so he quickly thanked him.

A reporter from the "Tokyo Daily" interviewed him today, and also discussed how to soften the advertisement, and agreed to show him the manuscript when he was unsatisfied.

Ordinary units, how can they have this kind of face? You know that the reporter of the "Tokyo Daily" is either Yushi or Hanlin. Do you dare to ask others to review the manuscript for you? It's daring.

Many units are very cautious when receiving receptions. Whenever reporters take a few more glances, they will inquire, "Is your job at Yushi or Hanlin?"

——Who didn’t know that Yushi had a monthly participation in this mission, although the daily reporter’s tasks would be reduced appropriately, but it can't stop these Yushi interviews by the way and see if there is any available to participate.

What's more, there is already a rumor now. That is, when it first started, the daily newspaper was mainly based on eulogizing virtues. Generally, insiders would not report it to the outside world.

However, there is news in the palace now that the officials feel that it needs more formality to expose it appropriately and give full play to its supervisory responsibilities.

This is terrible. If it is really determined that the Tokyo Daily can carry out negative exposure, then their status will invisibly rise a lot, and it will also put a lot of pressure on various government offices.

Especially for the grassroots yamen, important matters will undoubtedly not be exposed. Those who can be exposed are their grassroots yamen and small officials. It is plain that the people stop to visit them right away.

In the past, this book was delivered to officials. If the people can see it in the future, wouldn't it be the rhythm of the street every minute?

Where did Yun Yan know that Du You had turned so much thought in a moment, and he was polite to him and said that he wanted to donate some teaching props.

Du You was very happy. They didn't have a lot of oil and water, and they all lived tremblingly, especially since the situation had been tense a few years ago. Du You had all thoughts about it, and if the imperial medicine was completed, he would resign from the position of imperial doctor and apply for special supervision.

With Du You's gratitude, Yun Yan left Taiyin.

Then I had to go to the "Tokyo Daily" to discuss with Hu Hanlin to add a section to serialize pictures.

Hu Hanlin pondered for a long time, and said: "You said those few words before, and then people told you that after I left, you said that you were bragging. However, I think you are still working hard. Very good."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Alas, things are always like this. If you don't want to make money, you will be labeled as a profiteer and doing a favor to your nephew, but somehow become a good young man with ideals.

Faced with such a misunderstanding, Yun Yanhui of course said shyly: "The world does not understand me, but I never change my original intention."

...

The page of "Tokyo Daily" was taken down, and on the other side, Zheng Ling also found the book he wanted to change. There are three people who talk about the Three Kingdoms, he thinks it is good, but not all are perfect, so you need to choose the best.

Yun Yan took Zheng Ling to the book club. He and the people in the book club were old acquaintances who had dealt with in the book club. He found three book club gentlemen and told them that they wanted to buy the copyright. There was nothing wrong with that. .

It used to be selling words for a living. Now not only can I get a sum of money, my name can also be published in the "Tokyo Daily", and it is widely known. Where can I find such a good thing in the world?

So when it came time to create, Zheng Ling and his colleagues had their own jobs, so they worked together to draw a book of "Three Kingdoms", teamwork, and the speed was still very fast.

You Yunyan offered ideas back to the side, and even if he encountered any difficulties in his creation, he solved it like a bamboo shoot.

After collecting a month’s manuscript, I started serializing it in the "Tokyo Daily" and added a full page to display the "Three Kingdoms" comic strip. The original famous characters are clearly written on it, as well as the names of the painters.

"Tokyo Daily" has never serialized comics, which are novels. With the current length, they are usually published together, most of which are poems. This time, they didn't deliberately make any publicity, and on an ordinary day, they quietly posted out...

...

An ordinary morning for the people of the Northern Song Dynasty, the restaurants, restaurants, big households, yamen who subscribed to the "Tokyo Daily"... each took the newspapers that were placed at the door by the monks-now the monks are not only waking up every household. In addition, there is one more duty to deliver newspapers.

First of all, those who have subscribed to their own newspapers reacted first, "Hey, why do you post so many paintings today?"

The host is used to reading the "Tokyo Daily" at breakfast every day. On this day, he was first attracted by the picture in the last page of the newspaper. After a closer look, the headline was "Three Kingdoms". It is also the story of the Three Kingdoms.

Naturally, the painters are of Hanlin standard. The armor and clothes are all exquisitely painted and extremely vivid. There are simple text explanations below, and some characters have dialogues next to them.

After reading the whole story, I only felt that the story of the Three Kingdoms in my mind was clearly presented. In the past, when I heard about the books, I only heard about how Lü Bu’s battle armor was. Liu Bei described how it was and how he fought on the battlefield, but I really can’t imagine it so detailed, it’s just a vague description.

Occasionally reading book illustrations, it is only a single scene, where there are so many pictures that are refreshing, it is all about telling stories with pictures, I don't know how troublesome!

The painter's trouble is very refreshing to the reader.

The host quickly finished reading a version of the comic strip, still feeling unfinished, turned it back and carefully admired the characters one by one, and had another taste.

Which character is the same as he thought, which character feels slightly different...

...

In the stores that provide newspaper reading, it's another scene.

After reading the previous news, the newspaper reading doctor looked at the last page, a little dumbfounded: how do you read this?

Customers shouted: "What else is there, read it quickly."

The doctor opened the newspaper, laughing and crying, "This, how do you read this!"

When everyone saw it, they were actually some little picture figures, and they leaned forward to take a closer look, only to realize that the painting turned out to be the story of the Three Kingdoms.

"I seem to understand! Isn't this painting Dong Zhuo asking for a yellow scarf?"

"Yes, although I don't recognize the words below, this one should be Dong Zhuo, right? It's the same as I thought! It's so good!"

"Hey, what does this sentence mean? Are you scolding?"

"I think I can understand roughly without using words..."

"Let me see, I can't see clearly!"

Because there were a lot of people in the store, there was a fight. Some people simply went out and bought a newspaper for themselves to read. Only then discovered that there are still many people who have encountered the same things as themselves.

"Hey, I didn't know the words after I bought it before, but now it's better. There are such beautiful pictures of villains in the back! Although I have listened to the Three Kingdoms so many times, it is the first time I have seen it!"

"That's right, the doctor who reads the newspaper said, the following is written to be continued, and I will read it every day from now on!"

"What? Then I have to order a copy, just buy it, it's worth it!"

...

Adults are like this, and children are even more so. They are clamoring for the comic strip of the Tokyo Daily. Anyone who has the conditions, even if they can’t read characters, will not be able to grind their children and meet this requirement. Besides, many adults in the family also want to collect it.

It can be said that within a day, the "Three Kingdoms" comic strip became popular in Tokyo. Driven by the "Tokyo Daily" also sold wildly, the originally stable order volume suddenly increased by a large margin.

I don’t know how many officials, either on their own needs or their family members’ needs, went to the responsible editor or author one after another, asking for the manuscript...Of course, they were rejected without a doubt.

At this moment, Renzong was in the palace with the manuscript in his hand, smiling at the loser.
