Chapter 187: Characteristics of the Times
.The Wuzhang River connects Liangshan Pond here in the capital, which is not far from Mizhou. It is very feasible to set up a Maritime Boat Office in Mizhou. It can also communicate with foreign trade and connect with Jiangnan Liangguang sea routes, so you don’t have to squeeze the Bian River to transport the waters.”
After all these time, the officials on Yongliang Road have been in place and their strength has been greatly enhanced. With the expansion of the sugar sugar business, Jiaozhi has been firmly controlled, and just waited for the day when the melons are ripe and the county is completely integrated into the territory.
Chameng and Song Dynasty were in good terms because of a common enemy like Jiaozhi. Now that Jiaozhi’s threat is gone, the relationship with Chameng is tense. Chameng is controlling the Nanyang Commercial Road, and its status is extremely important. This is also one of the reasons why Jiaozhi persists in attacking there again and again. The Song Dynasty needs Nanyang Commercial Road more than before Jiaozhi. Before Chameng completely surrenders, the relationship between the two cannot be harmonious.
It takes time to digest the newly occupied land, and it also takes time to cultivate one's own strength. During this period, you must find other overseas markets. Although the tax collection of the Maritime Bureau is in the warehouse, if you sell Sanshi goods, Sanshi will have a considerable income, which is why Xu Ping is concerned about this.
Wang Bin knew that Xu Ping had already thought about this and would not give up until he achieved his goal, so he remembered it firmly. This was also a good thing for him. The Wang family is a big family of Goryeo. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they can also earn wealth and consolidate their position.
As an official in the Song Dynasty, Wang Bin actually had little contact with his family, but the family affection was still there. Moreover, when he came back, it was originally the Wang family's layout, which meant that he was cunning rabbits had three holes. Once something happened in Goryeo, there was a place to surrender.
After walking past Daxiangguo Temple, you will see the lively new shop.
Wang Gongchen whispered: "I don't know what good things are inside, and I don't know if they are expensive."
Xu Ping smiled: "There are expensive ones, and there are naturally cheap ones. As long as they suit their own wishes, just buy them."
Recently, Xu Ping found a part-time job for Wang Gongchen to make money. Duan Yunjie's shop was opened. The first time I printed a collection of Huajian Ci in the Five Dynasties. Wang Gongchen had to proofread the annotation and write the preface, and his income was very good.
The folk book printing naturally cannot be printed just like the Sansi and the Imperial College, or it is a collection of classics, history, and essays, or it is a collection of agricultural books and medical books. It is so serious. According to Xu Ping's meaning, Duan Yunjie should print some popular words for ordinary people, and her first choice is the popular Huajian poems. These romances of flowers and romance are the most popular among literati and brothels.
Originally, according to my impression in my previous life, Xu Ping wanted Duan Yunjie to print some novels, but she found a few scripts of the speakers on the market and looked at them. She could only shake her head. Not to mention the market, this kind of book could not be printed as Xu Ping and Duan Yunjie, otherwise she would have to ruin her reputation.
In this era, the vernacular book has just begun, and it is nothing wrong with this kind of popular words. The problem is that the language is too vulgar, explicit and vulgar, and it is completely unsuitable for written dissemination. If the speaker is talking there, even the literati and doctors sometimes smile when they hear it, and there will be nothing wrong with it. But once the words are expressed, the impression will be completely different and unsightly.
When I read "Water Margin" in my previous life, I felt that some heroes were doing things. At this time, I realized that "Water Margin" had been beautified a lot and a layer of "hands the way for heaven" was also criticized.
In this era, Xu Ping only had one impression, which was to express the malignancy of human nature nakedly.
For example, hero stories are basically without a prelude. A hero came together today and went out to see a guest in the distance. He was wearing silk and satin. He must be a rich man. He was envious of him and entered the guest's accommodation at night, ended his life with one knife, and then got money and how to spend money.
Or there is a member of the capital, how rich he is, how good he lives, and how good he lives, he will be targeted by someone, and when he enters the house at night, he will sweep away his property, kill his whole family, or how can he spend money and money?
It is even more terrifying to talk about the situation in the city. Someone went out and saw a charming little lady. She liked it very much, either forcing her to rob or cheat. Then there was a harmonious sound of the piano and the zither, which made the joy of the fish and water.
The whole article is filled with people on the Tao who run human meat shops, sell human meat buns, and make money and how to be happy.
This is really a true saying of thieves, without any concealment, without any beautification, just so direct.
Most of the speakers face idle people in the capital, i.e. refugees, which is the story they like. Law and morality are the things they hate the most. If they like other people's money and beautiful women, they will rob, steal, and cheat. As long as they get to their own hands, they will be able to do so. They don't care about other people's perceptions.
There were a large number of refugees in the Northern Song Dynasty, forming a refugee society, and speaking novels developed among these groups. The morality of these people became the morality of the story, which fundamentally had anti-order characteristics. If a hero who spoke in the end said that money and women were punished, then no idle man would come to listen to it and cause trouble for himself.
How dare Xu Ping print such content? Duan Yunjie didn't even want to read it.
Xu Ping could not write down the stories he learned in his previous life. The audience base was different, which one would look at you? The story of the Chinese Studio faced poor scholars. Where did they have an audience base these days? Not an official family, how many people would still insist on taking the imperial examinations in their prime? Going to farm early to do business to improve their lives is a serious matter. As for the stories of those poor scholars and ladies from rich families, the audience is also scholars, but who do you sell them to? There were only dozens of people when I was young.
The audience of popular stories is now idle people. What they want to see and hear is to rob the family, be impunity, and be free and easy. Use popular forms to persuade a ghost to go! Unless the government prohibits the spread of other content.
After choosing, I can only print some boudoir songs such as Huajian lyrics, and can also have an audience. Or it is magical ghosts and frontier stories, but Xu Ping has no ready-made content to learn from.
I printed a book of Huajian Ci. Although I made some money, Xu Ping was worried about Duan Yunjie's future business. These collections of words cannot be printed one after another, and the content resources will soon be exhausted. What will I print?
In the end, I am afraid that I will still fall into a group of civic officials in the library. They are both idle and literary. As long as Xu Ping uses his heart to induce him, he can always produce content that is suitable for making money.
