Chapter 39 The Legend of Lishan Execution of Demons
Accompanied by Ye Ganzi, Li Zisheng inspected the newly built living facilities of the "issuing specialists" in the Pioneer Newspaper and gave important instructions.
First, under the prerequisites of thrift and thrift, the expenses in accommodation and food must not be deducted, and the living conditions of these children must be as comfortable as possible. However, from now on, we must strengthen management and formulate work and rest schedules in accordance with relevant regulations.
For the previous article, this is also a way of inviting people to a certain extent. No matter what other ideas Li Zisheng has now, at least these children are reserve talents in Xinyi Shuntang. Even if he is not a revolutionary, there is no need to treat these children seriously just for the sake of his own conscience and the development of his own industry.
This latter one is the idea that Li Zisheng has obtained. Only semi-militarized management can shape the discipline and obedience of these children.
Secondly, you must take the cultural and martial arts courses quickly. If you find that talented children should focus on training, you can even reduce their working hours appropriately, and the teenagers will also provide them with corresponding martial arts and medicines.
At the same time, he will go further. Li Zisheng will also allocate a batch of guns to conduct military training on these children. Moreover, these training will be supervised and carried out by him personally.
Although his young vanguard team is large in number and he is also the leader, the children below are not child laborers of the Li family in the newspaper. Although Li Zisheng united a large number of vanguard members with his "charm", he did not have the right to instruct these children to act completely according to his wishes. Do you still have to reach a consensus with the people below if you have any major decisions?
For example, he really wants to let the vanguard team members be fully armed for more than ten miles every day, and someone will immediately withdraw from the team when they see each other. Therefore, the child servants in the vanguard newspaper are his real test field.
Third, although the salary is paid to these children as before, they can no longer eat big pots of rice, and they must be rewarded according to their work and rewards and punishments are moderate.
However, these children cannot be physically punished. Those who make mistakes should focus on helping and educating them. He has now begun to plan for the future. What the teenager wants is a healthy follower, not a submissive slave.
As an enlightened liberator, Li Zisheng certainly did not want to treat his subordinates as the target of exploitation, otherwise why would he pay for money? He could fill his stomach with stuttering and had a station to shelter from the wind and rain. These children who used to wander on the brink of death were already grateful.
However, he cannot encourage these children to be lazy and lazy. At this stage, material stimulation is an excellent means. People are always lazy, but their performance is different but their rewards are the same. Anyone will lose the motivation to move forward.
Moreover, it is a bit heartbreaking. Sheng Mien fights against Mien. Now Li Zisheng has not completely pinned the loyalty of these children on their gratitude to their own family.
Being kind and power sounds like a means of power scheming for superiors, but it is indeed a measure that managers must have.
The Pioneer Newspaper in Dongcheng is actually just a staff station. To be more precise, Li Zisheng established a work-study school for himself and Xinyi Shuntang to cultivate and reserve talents.
As the editorial department of the core department of the newspaper, it is now in the Xiao Family Bookstore of Xiao Family in Xiao Family. This is also the decision made by the two after discussion. Li Zisheng had no money to buy land in Xicheng to build such a large courtyard, and as the editorial department head, Mr. Xiao works next to his own printing factory. So the two departments were set up in two places respectively.
Perhaps it was out of nature that the eldest son of the Xiao family plunged into the cultural undertaking initiated by Li Zisheng.
You should know that Chixian Zhongzhou is not the imperial examination system that uses literature to win scholars in ancient China. Social elites were a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, all of whom rushed to the path of no return to literature. Therefore, there was neither a novel art form, nor a strange sect like Confucianism that is very common in fairy tale novels.
Of course, before the Battle of Heaven, some demon gods and human dynasties similar to professional bureaucrats did appear in the heavens of demon gods and the human dynasties that were replaced by the Five Emperors. Even these demon gods and humans also had families and alliances, but they never had a systematic theory, let alone a theory similar to "Confucianism" to build a sect. At most, it was just a political force.
They can be regarded as "officials" who manage administrative affairs in the official group, but in fact they are like the industry trade union like Shaoxing masters in the Ming and Qing dynasties that were linked with fellow villagers.
The key is that it is different from the ancient Celestial Empire's "study and good at one's career". In this world of high demons and high martial arts, it is "strong and strong", and the officials are in charge." If the superiors can suppress the ambitions of subordinates through their own personal strength, then there is no need for the monarch, minister, father, son and son to regulate the relationship between subordinates.
Why did Confucianism become the dominant ideology of the ancient Celestial Empire? It was because the patriarchal society needed Confucianism to strengthen such a system, like the mortar between bricks and stones, as a "imperial adhesive."
Then when this patriarchal society finally collapsed under the tide of industrialization around the world, this adhesive naturally lost its original status. On the contrary, because of the existence of this "adhesive", the old system could not collapse and quickly and quickly to create a new system that was more adapted to the industrialized society. Kongjiadian became the object of being defeated, which is also the historical significance of the May Fourth Movement.
It is precisely for this reason that the "new Confucianism" mentioned by some modern so-called "new Confucianism" has become a false proposition. It originally exists in the existence of the patriarchal society, and will it be attached to the skin without hair?
The culture of the ancient Celestial Empire was so prosperous and even a bit distorted, which was directly related to the atmosphere of the entire society of "studying and being good at being an official".
Of course, in this pre-industrial historical stage, Confucianism is still universal, and one of the biggest benefits is that knowledge is popularizing it to the ordinary people.
In the Tianshui and Zhao Song Dynasty, the most prosperous literary style, the literacy rate even reached 30%. Even the Qing Dynasty implemented the policy of ignoring the people, it was 10%. It should be noted that most of the European princes and nobles in the same era were illiterate, so they had to hand over the administrative and financial power to the hands of the priests who monopolize knowledge.
By the Ming and Qing dynasties, a large number of intellectuals who were unable to enter the official career were devoted to the creation of novels to please the citizens with high literacy rates in order to make a living, so the great development of novels in the Ming and Qing dynasties was that there must be producers such as authors and consumers such as readers. The two complement each other.
So are there such "producers" and "consumers" in Zhongzhou, Chixian?
The answer is that before the third young master of the Li family appeared, there were only large-scale "consumers", and they were waiting for the arrival of this "producer"!
In fact, the protagonists who have become famous at Qidian during this period and have followed countless rebirths of time-traveling plagiarism are also facing such a great situation.
The pleasure of analyzing this novel is that you have unique products that others cannot copy, but face a market that is hungry and waiting for others to pour out sweet rain. How can you not make people feel so happy?
Why were there so many "consumers" without producers before this?
Because the huge number of practitioners in Zhongzhou, Chixian are all "cultural people". As long as you have the ambition to be a fairy, you have to read and learn to read. Otherwise, how do you read classics, practice exercises and learn external skills?
However, these practitioners do not have the time to write novels at all, and practice is extremely laborious. For example, Li Zisheng was so busy that he almost didn't even have the time to write novels in order to get through the second root.
Moreover, these practitioners are not scholars who are powerless. In addition to being warriors, they are also experts with skills... at least they are technicians with skills. When they succeed in their cultivation, there are a lot of employment opportunities in front of them. Even students from the Immortal Sect like Li Zhaochang are not worried about not being able to find a job.
In fact, to make an analogy. This is exactly the same as when college students in the 1900s waited for distribution after the resumption of the college entrance examination in the Celestial Empire.
The current situation of a large number of authors in the online literature industry is a negative example of Chixian Zhongzhou.
The current higher education in the Celestial Empire has become popular with industrialization, but in comparison, a large number of graduates are less optimistic in the employment market. This situation is quite similar to the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Many intellectuals who cannot enter the official career through the imperial examination also have to support their families, which naturally creates many writers who want to make a living by typing.
Compared with the literacy rate of more than ten percentage points like the Ming and Qing dynasties, compulsory education now brings nearly 100% literacy rate, and has also brought countless consumers who regard popular literature as entertainment.
This is what everyone is talking about.
At this moment, in Zhongzhou, Chixian, a trendsetter like the third young master of the Li family is just right.
When Li Zisheng saw that it was still early, it was still a long time before noon. He simply asked Ye Ganzi to get on the carriage and headed straight to the editorial department of Xicheng, namely the Xiao Family Bookstore. The Xiao family is not far from Baiqin Building, so it is a roadside.
There was nothing to say along the way, and a few people came to the Xiao Family Bookstore with blue bricks, black tiles, white walls and rich doors. After asking the client in front of the door to report, the eldest young master of the Xiao Family immediately came out.
"Lei Gong, didn't you say that the meeting was held at noon? Why did you come here?" Xiao Jiaqi has always been familiar with him and was not very polite. In fact, he was not very polite, but he was not very polite, "It just so happened that I was looking for you. Let's go, come in with me!"
He grabbed Li Zisheng's hand and dragged the boy in.
Li Zisheng was too familiar with Master Xiao, so he didn't mind. He asked, "Old Xiao, why are you so anxious? But the editorial department is missing articles?"
In fact, since the Hundred Treasures Conference, the inner demon has been practicing hard, and he has not been very concerned about the Pioneer Newspaper. He handed over the distribution and interview to Ye Ganzi. The editor completely asked the eldest son of the Xiao family to continue to update "The Legend of the Cauldron" and "The Legend of the East Journey", he almost became a hand-off manager.
After hearing this, Xiao Jiaqi shook his head like a rattle and said, "Hi, Lei Gong, you guessed it wrong. It's not that the manuscript is missing, but that there are too many!"
He sighed and said, "You don't know. A few days ago, the boys of the Tie family came to the door together to ask me why I didn't publish the novels they wrote. I also explained a few words to them 'patience'. If they didn't listen, they almost... cough cough cough cough, if my father hadn't come forward, they would have refused to leave."
"Is this happening?!" Li Zisheng knew very well about this friend's "patience" and was not surprised that it would cause trouble. But he did not expect so many people to contribute.
Master Xiao spread his hands and said, "Why am I lying to you? Lei Gong, you have to make an idea. What should I do if I submit so many submissions? I can't even see the books in my house."
"How come there are so many people? There are so many people who write novels in Tieshan City?" Li Zisheng asked suspiciously.
Xiao Jiaqi and Youyou said with honor: "Don't you know? Now our Pioneer News has sold the entire Jingnan, and there are also foreign customers who bought and brought them back. So now it's not Tieshan City, and many outsiders have also contributed their articles! But..."
Because Tieshan City itself is a commercial and logistics center, his novels and newspapers have spread without the young man himself knowing it. Not only has it spread throughout Jingnan, but it has also gradually spread to the adjacent Jingbei, Yangzhou, Liangzhou and Yuzhou. Judging from this situation, the spread of his novels is completely unstoppable.
It is only a matter of time before the third young master of the Li family became famous in these Jiuzhou with his novels and "Pioneer".
"But what?"
At this time, Master Xiao’s handsome face seemed a little ferocious. He gritted his teeth and said, “However, some profiteers from other places who should be killed are reprinting novels in our newspapers! It’s so hateful!”
"Oh." The boy replied calmly.
Li Zisheng, who has the memory of the Earth's instructor, is not very angry. This pirated copy is a matter of course. Zhongzhou does not have a "Copyright Law" to protect his copyright.
What's more, even with the "Copyright Law", no one will come to implement the situation where the powerful and powerful are in charge. If we go further, there are really people who will implement it... The Celestial Empire can't implement it, let alone Zhongzhou.
Xiao Jiaqi looked at him in surprise and said, "Lei Gong, aren't you angry? This is not like you."
Li Zisheng shrugged and said, "What good can I do? Otherwise, I would like to ask Lingzun to contact booksellers from other places and let them distribute our novels and newspapers."
Master Xiao said with some smugness: "I thought of this idea too! A few days ago, the Xiji Dahuang Sect had already agreed. As long as you nod, Liangzhou will soon publish our novel. In other places, my father has sent a letter to discuss, and I believe there will be a reply soon."
The boy also said happily: "Old Xiao, you are a good supervisor in the editorial department! You must be the editor-in-chief of Pioneer Newspaper to exert this subjective initiative in your work!"
Xiao Jiaqi didn't understand what this "subjective initiative" is, but he also knew that Lei Gong was praising him. He also labeled a "editor-in-chief".
This young man from the noble family just ate this trick, so he even opened his mouth and laughed.
While talking, the two had already arrived at the "editor department" behind the Xiao Family Bookstore, which was actually a large study room. There were five or six bookstores sitting inside, each with a thick stack of manuscript paper on the desk, and many unopened letters were piled up on the ground in a mess.
The words of these bookkeepers who read the manuscript were quite interesting. Some read them with concentration and shaking their heads, while some just opened the manuscript in their hands looked annoyed and looked like they were about to vomit...
Xiao Jiaqi pointed with his hand and said, "Look, all my books are here. Sometimes even this young master has to go into battle in person. Lei Gong, you don't know. Some manuscripts really can't bear to read them. After reading a few sentences, they want to vomit."
"Thunder Lord, there is also, there is no time to publish so many manuscripts."
Li Zisheng said confidently: "Oh, that's what I've thought about on the way to come. In the future, these novels will not be published in the Pioneer Newspaper. Let's create another novel magazine, and it will be called "Story Club".
Master Xiao pondered for a moment and said happily: "This idea is good, but... I want to be the editor-in-chief of "Story Club" too!"
This kid is a little bit absent-minded!
The third young master of Li family nodded and said with the flow: "Of course, you are fully responsible for this. Let's do this. Even if you, Xiao Family Bookstore and my "Pioneer" jointly invested in "Story Club", the benefits will be half of each person after excluding the cost. Of course, your reward will be calculated separately."
The two of them have a close relationship and are not people who care about money, so they finalized this matter in a few words.
Li Zisheng spoke out his purpose for this trip. He took out a stack of manuscripts from his arms and said, "Lao Xiao, this is my new work. You can arrange for someone to publish it in the Pioneer Newspaper tomorrow."
"Oh, you have a new work?" Xiao Jiaqi said happily, "Give it a look for me."
He took the manuscript from the boy, picked it up and saw that the title on the cover was... "The Legend of the Demons in Lishan"
Since Li Zisheng met a man from Taipingdao, namely Peng Modao and his wife on the way to Tieshan City in January this year, he saw the book "Taiping Jing" obtained by Shi Gandang, and he was very dissatisfied with this Taiping Dao.
In the eyes of this young man who lacks a sense of awe for everything, including gods, this book is completely nonsense and is reversing history.
Look at the actions of gods, where are they more wise than humans? In the era of God, humans were indeed equal, but that was equality of slaves. That era was just an era when humans were stable slaves. I really don’t know what to pursue and envy? Like the Confucian theories mentioned in the previous document, he felt that he should knock down the fallacies and evil deeds to the ground, and then step on them with ten thousand feet, so that they will never turn over.
During this trip to Lishan, he bumped into these evil Taoists. They not only carried out a large-scale blood sacrifice in a crazy way, but also wanted to launch the formation of the Ten Directions Tianshi to create monsters, but also wanted to bloodshed his hometown Lishan Village.
If it weren't for me, I would have almost made these people successful in order to rescue my younger brother and Li Li. However, they were still a step late and so many innocent mortals died.
Finally, the general Butterfly Lady had to come to assassinate him. If his letter to Tong Xiaoshitou had not understood the righteousness at the critical moment and abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, he would have lost his life. He didn't know that the butterfly demon's intention was even more vicious, and he wanted the boy to kill his family with his own hands, otherwise he would be angry.
In short, how could this not make Li Zisheng angry and regard the Taiping Dao as his life and death enemy?
The young man who believed in repaying his grievances with righteousness could not find a partner for revenge for a while, so he vented all his anger in his writing.
So in just a few days, Li Zisheng wrote this book "The Legend of the Demons in Lishan"! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
ps: I would like to pay tribute to "Red Dawn" with this chapter.
Chapter completed!
