- In Liu Jin¡¯s house in the capital, Liu Jin was very leisurely crossing his legs in his study, reading the newspaper, and enjoying the rare leisure time.
"I didn't expect that someone would start to publish this kind of novel-type newspaper just like the magazines of later generations."
"Once you become interested in this series of novels and stories, if you continue to follow it from issue to issue, the sales volume will definitely be quite good."
Liu Jin put down the newspaper in his hand, feeling itchy in his heart. He really wanted to read the next content. However, he had already read the content published in the newspaper and stopped abruptly when he reached the top. It was really worse than some Internet novel writers in later generations. Still awesome.
With the vigorous development of newspapers, various newspapers were born, such as the Ming Morning Post, the Ming Business News, the Ming Confucian News, etc., all kinds of newspapers sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Among them, a newspaper that specializes in serializing various novels and stories has recently emerged. The content serialized on it is all kinds of novels, stories and the like.
The writing is also written in vernacular, which is simple, popular and easy to understand. Although the stories and novels seen are quite ordinary in the eyes of Liu Jin, a time traveler, they are far inferior to the huge novels of millions of people in later generations. imagination.
But for this era, it¡¯s still pretty good.
Especially for the people of Ming Dynasty who lacked entertainment items, newspapers with serial novels and stories quickly became popular as soon as they came out.
It is said that in less than two months, the sales volume of "The Story of the Ming Dynasty" has exceeded 200,000 copies. This is very scary data.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??
¡°It¡¯s really slow to publish one issue every week~¡±
"It's better to come later. The online novels of later generations are updated every day. If you can't read it every day, you can still scold the author. This Ming Dynasty story is published once a week. It's really fucked."
Liu Jin sighed helplessly. He was really unhappy when he saw the wonderful part and it was cut off. The key is that he still has to wait for a week.
This made Liu Jin, who was accustomed to the updating of online articles in later generations, unable to help but want to buy this newspaper directly. This update speed would have been drowned in spit in later generations.
"It seems that three of the four major classics in history were written during the Ming Dynasty. In this way, novels and stories had already developed to a certain extent during the Ming Dynasty."
"It's not surprising that someone came up with this newspaper specifically. It just caters to the needs of the market."
I recall several famous works from later generations. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, novels seemed to have become popular, and there were several famous works. In addition, there were also some controversial books that were very famous, such as Lan Ling. Works by Xiaoxiaosheng.
Generally speaking, the Ming Dynasty was different from the Tang and Song dynasties.
Poems and songs have no longer appeared. There are no outstanding poets and lyricists like the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, and there are no classic masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.
This is a very strange phenomenon.
Logically speaking, if this line of succession continues, a large number of excellent poets and lyricists should emerge, and a large number of excellent poems should also appear.
But there are very few, very few, and even if there are, they are far inferior to the poets and poems of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Scholars of later generations also conducted some research on this, and later came to the conclusion that the poets and lyricists in the Tang and Song Dynasties were so good that it was difficult for future generations to surpass them in the field of poetry. Therefore, even if there are excellent poets , poets, there are excellent works, but compared with those in the Tang and Song Dynasties, they still look lackluster.
Since poetry is not good, stories, novels and the like have a chance to develop. Some unsuccessful scholars turned to collecting folk stories, and then organized and improved them, and slowly produced some important works.
????????????????? But with Confucianism being the dominant ideology, these things were actually not spread widely. Luo Guanzhong, Shi Naian, and Wu Chengen, who were famous in later generations, were actually not well-known in the Ming Dynasty.
It was only in later generations that their names became widely known, and the books they wrote spread widely, and almost everyone knew them.
The emergence of newspapers gave those who wrote stories and novels a new outlet.
This is a bit similar to Jin Yong in later generations. His novels were first published in the newspaper "Ming Pao". They relied on this to support them and eventually developed slowly.
?But the situation now is a little different. In an era lacking entertainment and leisure, the emergence of newspapers has made the intellectuals of the Ming Dynasty ecstatic, and they must read them almost every day.
As soon as this professional newspaper that specializes in writing stories and novels came out, the treatment was completely different. It quickly became popular and sold 200,000 copies in a short period of time. This has to be lamented. If the pond is big, you can easily raise a large fish.
After thinking about this clearly, Liu Jin also laughed.
The emergence of professional newspapers with stories and novels is very helpful in promoting the development of vernacular literature and is conducive to breaking the ideological constraints of eight-part essays and classical Chinese on thought and literature.
¡°It¡¯s just that the update is too slow!¡±
After reading this newspaper, I found that several of the stories and novels written in it are very attractive and the quality is quite good. After all, the level of literati in this period is still acceptable. The only thing is that it lacks imagination and cannot be compared with the mature novels of later generations. compared to.
A lot of the story content still revolves around talented people and beautiful women, which is similar to the content in dramas. It is nothing more than a certain down-and-out scholar, how miserable he was when he was down and out, and was bullied and looked down upon by his relatives.
But there was only one young lady from a rich family who admired the scholar very much. Not only did she secretly support the scholar behind her old father's back, but she also secretly expressed her love for him.
The final result is probably the story of this scholar who studied hard, and once he became the number one scholar, he slapped the relatives, neighbors, etc. who had bullied him in the face, and then he married a rich girl with a matchmaker and a big sedan chair. .
This is a very clich¨¦d story, and it is also a story that has long since become rotten.
But there is still a market for it, and everyone likes to see this kind of thing the most.
This is a bit similar to the plot in later Internet articles. The pig's feet were bullied, and then he devoted himself to hard work, greatly increased his strength, and finally got the refreshing feeling of being slapped in the face.
It¡¯s just that the pig¡¯s feet are different. The pig¡¯s feet in this period are scholars, while the pig¡¯s feet in later Internet articles are the time-travelers and lucky ones written by certain writers.
"I don't know when the kind of martial arts novels written by Jin Daxia will appear in future generations."
Liu Jin felt like vomiting after reading too many stories about talented people and beauties.
"You can know the ending after reading the beginning of the content, and the talents and beauties are not attractive to Liu Jin at all. It would be better to read the ghost story.
Shaking his head slightly, he stopped thinking about these messy things, and the current important events of the court began to ring in his mind again.
Recently, the morning court has become a quarrel. Almost every day during the morning court, the ministers will quarrel.
They were arguing about nothing else but the railway.
As more and more people take trains, everyone will be deeply shocked by the power of trains after experiencing them. Naturally, they also understand that this train is extremely important for the transportation and development of a place.
As soon as the five-year plan came out, some people were happy and some were worried. The provinces and regions where the railway passed through were naturally very happy, and they rushed to tell each other, looking forward to the early construction of the railway by the imperial court.
And provinces and regions without railway planning were naturally unwilling and unhappy, and the matter gradually escalated from the private sector to the court.
Officials from various provinces and places also wrote to Emperor Hongzhi one after another, asking for the construction of railways and the like.
In the end, it turned into a quarrel in the court. Officials from various places wanted the court to change the railway line to their hometowns, or to build a railway line that passed through their hometowns earlier.
Of course, these are all trivial matters, and the quarrel is just a fight over who will practice first and who will practice last, but sooner or later they will all practice.
What Liu Jin has to think about now is how to reduce the cost of railway construction.
Judging from the construction of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway, the cost of building a mile of railway is 50,000 taels of silver. This number is obviously very large.
You must know that most of the areas that the Beijing-Tianjin Railway passes through are still plain areas, and the cost is already so high. If it goes through mountainous and hilly areas, and bridges and holes have to be built everywhere, the construction cost will be even higher.
This is very detrimental to Ming Dynasty¡¯s railway plan.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty is so huge that any planned railway would be thousands of miles long, which means that building any railway would require hundreds of millions of taels of silver.
Although the Ming Dynasty was very wealthy, money was not spent like this. The province still had to save money. If the cost was too high, it would also greatly affect the development of the railway.
"Do we really want to imitate the bald eagle and use a large number of slaves to build railways?"
Liu Jin fell into deep thought. One of the biggest costs and expenses in building a railway is labor. If a large number of slaves are used to build the railway, the cost can be greatly reduced.
Later generations of bald eagles built large railways that connected the east and west, and Chinese bones were buried under each section of the railway. From here we know that building railways requires a lot of labor without a large amount of construction machinery.
For the Ming Empire, there is no shortage of slaves. There are sources of slaves for the Ming people all over the world. It is also very easy to get hundreds of thousands of slaves.
