Lin Zixuan stood on the deck, looking at the blue sea, without any pride in his heart, but he felt bored.

The cruise ship has a bad environment, poor food and poor service. In his eyes, he should give thirty-two bad reviews.

But this is already the best ocean cruise ship in this era.

There is no way. Since we have come to this era, we must adapt to the life of this era.

Fortunately, he lives in a second-class cabin and has an independent cabin, so he doesn't have to squeeze in with others.

The third-class cabin is a unified cabin with mixed personnel and a more harsh environment.

Most of the people living in first class are foreigners with status and status, and some domestic government officials.

The entire cruise ship has a distinct hierarchy.

There are many Chinese on the cruise ship, most of whom are international students in Europe.

In this era, Europe was the first choice for Chinese students. The Renaissance and Industrial Revolution in Europe made international students yearn for them. The United States has not yet become a superpower and is not very attractive to international students.

Lin Zixuan talked to these international students with a curious attitude.

Some of them have great ambitions, worry about the country and the people, and wish they could return home as soon as possible to change the status quo of the country.

Some people think about returning to China to find a good job and live their own life.

Some people go around Europe to have fun and experience the entertainment life abroad.

No matter what, they all obtained diplomas from foreign universities and became overseas returnees.

After the founding of the Republic of China, the imperial examinations were abolished, universities were established, and education was focused. After graduating from university, they had the opportunity to enter state organs and become civil servants.

Like later generations, international students are more valued than college students who graduate from China and are more likely to get good positions.

Lin Zixuan doesn’t have to consider livelihood issues, but he also has to make good plans for the future.

He first had to clarify the situation inside the Lin family.

The Lin family is a big family. It has its own yarn mill and dyeing fabric factory in Songjiang. Liuhe dyeing factory is a leading enterprise in Songjiang's textile industry. The fabrics produced have a very good market in the south and even entered the northern market.

The so-called food, clothing, housing and transportation are indispensable things for the people.

As long as you master these industries, you will not be afraid of not being able to make money.

After nearly a hundred years of development, Lin's enterprise has not only developed in the textile industry, but also penetrated into all walks of life in Shanghai through different ways, and has connections with all major families in Shanghai.

As far as Lin Zixuan knows, the Lin family intends to enter the financial industry and establish a private bank.

However, the big family also has their troubles, that is, the brothers and sisters are not united. The old man of the Lin family has three sons and five daughters. The relationship is complicated and he is intriguing.

It can be imagined that once the old man has a bad situation, there will inevitably be a bloody battle for family property.

Among the younger generation, Lin Zixuan is the eldest son of the house and grandson, who is deeply loved by the old man and is the designated heir.

This is naturally a good thing, but it also makes Lin Zixuan the focus of his family.

He is not very interested in managing dyeing and cloth factories or opening a bank, nor does he think he has business talent. He thinks it is better to be a literary master quietly.

But once he reveals that he does not want to inherit the family business, it will cause trouble in the Lin family and may even break up with the family.

He was not a rebellious young man who was deeply inspired by the new trend of thought. He was proud of resisting his family. He also wanted to continue to be the eldest son of the Lin family and live a comfortable life, so the literary master could only become his side job.

So how should you become a literary master?

Lin Zixuan has learned a little about the domestic literary situation.

Since the promotion of vernacular writing in China, the content published in various newspapers and magazines has mainly been political and prose.

The first recognized vernacular novel is the "Diary of the Madman" published in "New Youth" in 1918, which kicked off the prelude to the vernacular novel.

There are also categories of vernacular novels, some of which describe the sufferings of the people, and some of which talk about the love and the love.

This is the difference between serious literature and popular literature.

Lin Zixuan didn't want to write political comments, he couldn't afford to provoke him, and he had no idea of ​​serious literature for the time being. He focused on popular literature.

There is no way. He read the most popular literature from later generations. Who made him a vulgar person?

The popular literature at present is mainly romance novels, which describes the love, hate and separation between urban men and women. It is more popular in terms of commercial value than serious literature.

Lin Zixuan doesn’t plan to write romance novels. He has not read many romance novels, and martial arts novels are his first choice.

In the early years of the Republic of China, there was no heavyweight martial arts novel. Pingjiang Buxiaosheng's "The Legend of the Warriors" was written in 1922. It is difficult to compare with the mature martial arts system in later generations in terms of content and structure.

He just came to fill this gap and became the founder of a new martial arts novel. He should feel very good as the founder of the mountain.

He also plans to write the novel of Xianxia. Of course, it is not the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" by the owner of the Zhulou, but the novel of Xianxia on the Internet in later generations, which will definitely be refreshing.

But this is something that I did after becoming famous, otherwise no one would pay attention to even if I wrote it out.

Things in the United States hit Lin Zixuan a big blow. After reflecting, he decided to choose a novel that the Chinese people could quickly accept and fired the first shot.

He chose "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

There is nothing wrong with this novel in the plot, and the male and female protagonists finally live happily together.

It is not as unacceptable as the experience between Xiaolongnu and Azhu.

Anyway, when he was free on the cruise ship, he had already started to save manuscripts, writing thousands of words every day. When he returned to China, he had more than 100,000 words of manuscripts that could be published.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Shanghai was a place where there were mixed together. The influx of foreign capital led to the prosperity of newspapers and magazines. The two largest circulation newspapers and magazines were "Shen Bao" and "News News".

These two newspapers are competitors. In addition to news reports, there are also sections in the newspapers that publish novels and literary works.

The supplement of "Shen Bao" is called "Free Talk", and the supplement of "News News" is called "Happy Forest".

Lin Zixuan's first choice is these two newspapers. Of course, there are other various newspapers and magazines in Shanghai, but neither of them is as powerful as these two.

Since you want to make a shot, you have to choose the best platform.

He is full of confidence in this.

Chinese people all have a kind of martial arts dream, from the "Biography of Heroes" in "Records of the Grand Historian" to the Tang Dynasty legend, from "Water Margin" to "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", and then to Huo Yuanjia in the early years of the Republic of China.

The martial arts have been passed down from generation to generation, and the same is true for the dream of martial arts.

Lin Zixuan was lying in the cabin and writing at his desk. This martial arts dream flowed out of his pen.

The cruise ship did not encounter icebergs, and Lin Zixuan did not meet the famous lady in the first class. He returned to Shanghai safely after more than a month.

Looking at the messy pier and the tall buildings vaguely visible in the distance, he was a little excited and a little frightened.
