My life skills in Daming Liver

Chen Chaoyuan and Lin Qingcai finally selected two barely readable articles from the last submission, and Su Ze returned to Changningwei with these two articles.

With the addition of the two articles selected by Su Ze, the second issue of "Surprise" finally has a full layout.

Hey, copying short stories is still too tiring!

When the "Literature" skill is upgraded, you must find a long serial!

The Yu family's troupe was also sent to Changningwei, which is a very standard southern opera troupe.

Where there is south, there is north. Before southern opera became popular, northern opera was popular, also known as Yuan Zaju.

Northern opera and southern opera, among them, the troupe of northern opera mainly sing historical koan, which has very strict requirements on the format, and reached its peak in the Yuan Dynasty.

However, Nanxi opera mainly sings folk stories, mainly romantic love stories, so it is more popular with the general public.

Strictly speaking, what is popular today is not the original Southern Opera, but the Ming Zaju produced by the combination of Southern Opera and Northern Opera.

However, the folks prefer to call it Nanxi, which is mainly popular among the folks, to distinguish it from the "gongqiang" popular in the royal family and the palaces of various feudal princes.

In Nanxi opera, it is divided into four vocal tunes, namely Haiyan tune, Yuyao tune, Kunshan tune and Yiyang tune.

Among them, Kunshan tune is the most widely sung, which is now known as Kunqu Opera.

The troupe of the conductor Yu is the troupe of Kunshan Opera.

Commander Yu's family is a small theater troupe, with a total of only sixteen people including accompanists.

The Yu family troupe has six accompanists and ten actors, which is the smallest troupe in Southern Opera.

Nanxi Opera has been divided into four types of roles like "Sheng Dan Jing Chou" like later Peking Opera.

The smallest troupe also needs "Ten Court Columns", they are: Jing, Guansheng, Jinsheng, Laosheng, Mo, Zhengdan, Wudan, Liudan, Fu, and Chou.

The actor who served as the "official student" was called Yu Ji, who was the head of the troupe and also the leader of the troupe.

The entire troupe was raised by the Yu family's sons since childhood. Before Mr. Tuohu's troupe came, it was also the top in Nanping County.

However, compared with Mr. Tuohu's troupe, Yu's troupe is not enough.

Yu Ji is very respectful to Su Ze, but seeing Yu Ji's sissy appearance, Su Ze can't help but keep a distance from him.

Masculinity is prevalent these days, and this Yu Ji's dress is very neutral, Su Ze doesn't want to be contaminated by it.

Su Ze asked the troupe to set up a stage in Changningwei to sing Guan Hanqing's "The Story of the Moon Prayer Pavilion". The whole Changningwei was a sensation, and the three floors inside and outside the three floors gathered around the troupe to watch the play.

Drama these days is still a hobby of the upper class, but the drama and the characters of the plot are already in the vernacular that ordinary people can understand.

For ordinary people in Changningwei, there are basically no spiritual and cultural activities.

After Su Ze crossed, the ordinary people in Changningwei finally had enough to eat.

After having a full meal, they naturally have spiritual and cultural pursuits. The performance of the Yu family troupe in Changningwei just met the spiritual needs of Changningwei.

Some people are happy and some are worried.

Huang Shixing was the biggest victim of the popularity of "Du Shiniang" last time in the county.

The 200 copies of "Wen Yuan Xin Yun" he printed were all thrown into his hands, and none of them were sold.

The beautifully bound "Wen Yuan Xin Yun" was not sold, but Su Ze's crude "Surprise" was sold out.

All this made Huang Shixing's face burn with pain.

Now that he heard that "Surprise" was going to become a tabloid published twice a month, Huang Shixing couldn't sit still anymore.

Lin Qingcai and Chen Chaoyuan also moved quickly. After renting the editorial office, they quickly collected manuscripts from scholars in Nanping County.

The finishing fee offered by Su Ze is three taels of silver for short stories, which is quite attractive to ordinary scholars in Nanping County!

Even if only two manuscripts are used in each issue, four manuscripts can be used in a month, and there are four opportunities in a month!

The refill fee is a temptation, and the bigger temptation is that the last issue of "Surprise" sold 500 copies!

Of course, there are not so many scholars in Nanping County. Some of the 500 copies were bought back for collection, and some were bought by businessmen to sell them to other cities.

But as long as you are a scholar in Nanping City, who hasn't read "Surprise", there is a chance to make your article famous in front of the scholars in the whole county.

Not to mention that "Surprise" pays the manuscript fee, even if people publish it at their own expense, some are willing to pay money.

Huang Shixing's teeth itch with hatred, of course. His "Wen Yuan Xin Yun" was printed at a loss, but now all the talk in Nanping City is surprise.

And a few of his attendants secretly contributed articles to "Surprise". Both Chen Lin and Chen Lin were not scholars, but they became celebrities in Nanping City.

What's even more exasperating is that Mr. Tuohu's drama essay competition was finally awarded to Su Ze. Now "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger" is in the limelight in Nanping County. Going to perform at home, Su Ze's name also resounded throughout the county.

Huang Shixing spent a lot of money to buy a printing house, and the "Wen Yuan Xin Yun" printed at the expense of the money could not be sold, and no one discussed the half-sold and half-given in the early stage. Running a newspaper by yourself is really lonely!

The more he thought of this, the more Huang Shixing wanted to vomit blood.

No, can't give up!

Huang Shixing has already invested a lot of money, so naturally he can't give up casually.

At this time, he was holding "Surprised by the Case" to study why this three-dollar tabloid was so popular.

Below Huang Shixing sat his followers. At this time, everyone lowered their heads, for fear that Huang Shixing would call their names.

Afraid of what would happen, Huang Shixing threw away the newspaper in his hand, and shouted to someone:

"Brother Zhenshun, why is this "Surprise" sold better than "Wen Yuan Xin Yun", what do you think?"

The scholar whose name was called stood up reluctantly. His name was Lu Pang, his name was Zhenshun, and he was also a student of Yanping Academy.

Lu Pang's family was poor, and he worked and studied in Yanping Academy, and was accepted by Huang Shixing as a follower.

Lu Pang was very guilty at this time, he had just contributed a manuscript to "Surprised by the Case", and he was afraid that he would be seen as a young man.

But being called by name, he had to answer, Lu Pang said:

"I think "Wen Yuan Xin Yun" is too expensive!"

Everyone nodded, and Huang Shixing also thought about it.

That's right, "Surprise" costs only three renminbi a copy, while "Wen Yuan Xin Yun" costs two taels of silver, and two taels of silver can't be sold for three renminbi, which is reasonable!

"Is there any more?"

"Well, "Wenyuan Xinyun" also needs a regular place to sell it. It's impossible for everyone to come to you to buy it, right?"

Huang Shixing nodded immediately, yes! Why didn't I think about this problem myself!

I should also find a bookstore to sell it on my behalf.

Lu Pang added: "Mr. Huang should also announce the establishment of an editorial department in the city to accept submissions. This will also attract the attention of more scholars."

Huang Shixing nodded repeatedly.

The other scholars present were all rolling their eyes. Isn't this just a copy of "Surprise"?

Huang Shixing asked again: "The second issue of Pai An Surprise will be released soon, what about "Wen Yuan Xin Yun"?"

Lu Pang said: "Now it's too late to print new ones, why not sell "Wen Yuan Xin Yun" at a reduced price?"

Huang Shixing felt distressed when he thought of the 200 copies of "Wenyuan Xinyun" that had been thrown into his hands. Lu Pang was right, he might as well sell it at a reduced price than throwing it into his hands.

"How much is the price appropriate?"

Lu Pang bite the bullet and said, "A tael of silver?"

Lu Pang bought "Wen Yuan Xin Yun" for two taels of silver, not only Lu Pang, but everyone present paid for it.

On weekdays, they received support from Huang Shihang, and of course Huang Shihang had to spend money to support him in running the newspaper.

But everyone knew in their hearts that they would not pay for "Wen Yuan Xin Yun" even if it was one tael of silver, let alone two taels of silver.

Huang Shixing gritted his teeth and said, "No! Three coins!"

Everyone was stunned, they all knew the cost of "Wen Yuan Xin Yun", and it would be a big loss for three renminbi.

"Just three renminbi! I want to fight "Surprise"!"

Fourth of July.

Fang Aizhu came out of the back house of the magistrate's yamen early in the morning. Today, he was ordered by the magistrate's lady to buy a new issue of "Surprise".

Miss Fang is strict in running her family, she is not sure about using her privileges, and the magistrate's family has to queue up to buy newspapers.

Fang Aizhu thought that she came out early, but she didn't expect to be frightened by the long line of people as soon as she arrived at the entrance of Yujia Bookstore.

Fang Aizhu saw figures of several attributes, they were all book boy servants of noble families in the city, those who had money would naturally have servants queuing up, and those who had no money could only come and line up by themselves.

Lin Xianliang hid in the bookstore, and the clerk looked at him sadly.

"Shopkeeper, Changningwei only delivered 300 copies, and there are almost 200 people queuing at the door, what should I do?"

Lin Xianliang was even more troubled. Apart from those who lined up, there were many other people who had already made reservations, including his boss, Second Young Master Yu. These people could not afford to offend.

Lin Xianliang said heartbrokenly, "Go and make a sign, each person is limited to one piece!"

"Send someone to Changningwei quickly, and ask them to print some more and send them over!"

Still conservative!

When Su Ze asked Lin Xianliang how many copies to print in the second issue, Lin Xianliang reported a figure of 300 copies.

The number of scholars with purchasing power in Changningwei is about the same.

But how could he think that 300 copies were still short, Lin Xianliang regretted it, but at the same time could only take measures to limit purchases, trying to make sure that all customers in line can buy newspapers.

The bookstore is open!

I only saw the news that the bookstore clerk was promoting the purchase limit of one copy along the line, and the people in the back were relieved that they would definitely be able to buy it now.

When Fang Aizhu bought the second issue, the sun had already risen in the sky. He couldn't wait to find a corner, picked up the newspaper and read it.

The literate servants in every household are like him. Everyone knows that the newspaper will never be read again if it is sent to the master's room.

The story of the latest issue of "Surprise" is also an excellent source of conversation in the mansion. Fang Aizhu writes it down while reading it. When he goes back, he will be the most beautiful boy in the mansion.

The front page is Su Ze's exclusive page, the first story, huh? "Wolf"?

This is a short story about a butcher who met a wolf on his way home.

Although the story is simple, Fang Aizhu breaks out in a cold sweat after reading it.

The butcher and the wolf fought wits and courage, and the process of his life hanging by a thread made his breathing quicken. He had never read such an article, as if he was the butcher who encountered a wolf.

This Mr. Su is really a genius!

Immediately following "Wolf" is another second story, and there are actually two!

"Painted Skin"?

This story is much longer than "Wolf", Fang Aizhu quickly read it.

At the beginning, it was a story about an ordinary scholar rescuing a woman in distress. Fang Aizhu was a little disappointed. There are too many such clichéd stories. I didn't expect Su Ze to write such a story.

But soon the scholar met the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest pointed out the part where the scholar ran into evil.

Fang Aizhu's curiosity was suddenly aroused, and he hurriedly continued to read.

When Fang Aizhu saw the part of the painted skin of the ghost, Fang Aizhu screamed, and the newspaper was so frightened that he threw it out of his hand!

Several servants around had the same reaction, and the whole street was full of screams!

Fang Aizhu quickly picked up the newspaper, and read it with fear and curiosity.

Later, I saw the story of the scholar being killed, the Taoist priest catching ghosts, and the scholar's wife begging for help from another person. Fang Aizhu was afraid and was drawn by the plot, so she couldn't bear to stop.

When the story was over, Fang Aizhu realized that his whole body was drenched, and the wind blew through his body and shivered.

Fang Aizhu only felt that she had had a bizarre dream, and Su Ze's description made people feel immersive. For a moment, Fang Aizhu just wanted to rush into the Town God's Temple to wash away the ghost aura on her body!

It's scary!

But it's also so beautiful!

Looking at the sun, it's too late, Fang Aizhu quickly folded up the newspaper and hurried to the mansion.

Passing by another bookstore in the county again, this is the property of Cai Yuanwai's family, a big family in the county. Many people gathered at the door of the bookstore, seeming to be arguing about something.

Fang Aizhu couldn't help being curious, and leaned over to listen. It turned out that the quarrel was related to "Surprise".

It turned out that Huang Shixing sold his "Wenyuan Xinyun" in Cai Yuanwai's bookstore. Although the price was reduced to three renminbi, no one was interested.

Cai's Bookstore and Yu's Bookstore are also competitors, and seeing that Yu's family's business is so good, they are naturally very jealous.

So the shopkeeper of the Caijia Bookstore made a show of operation.

He had someone print the cover of "Surprisingly New Tales of Pai An", and then stuck it on Huang Shixing's "New Rhythm of Wen Yuan", and then hung up a sign saying "Surprise Arrived at Pai An".

Then he was really taken advantage of by a few people.

But today, when the new "Surprise" was released, those who bought the fake newspaper knew they had been cheated, and they all came over to ask for their money back.

Fang Aizhu shook her head, luckily what she bought was genuine, the "Wen Yuan Xin Yun" was full of nonsense articles, used to wipe her buttocks with ink, and three coins were a scam.

At the same time, Su Ze, who was reading "Continued Martial Classics General Essentials" at Wei Xue, finally heard the system's prompt.

["Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Chest in Anger" has gained fame, literature skill experience +80, Lv4, 120/400]

["Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Chest in Anger" has a great reputation, literature skill experience +120, Lv4, 240/400]

["Wolf" and "Painted Skin" have literary names, literature skill experience +40, Lv4, 280/400]

["Wolf" and "Painted Skin" have gained fame, literature skill experience +80, Lv4, 360/400]

Four reminders in a row made Su Ze happy, but why did the system get stuck?

Stuck with 40 experience points and not leveling up, right?

At this time, the system popped up a prompt again.

["Nie Xiaoqian" has a literary name, literature skill experience +40, skills have been upgraded! 】
