I wrote novels in the Republic of China
Chapter 37 Follow-up
Sang Jingyun and Sang Qianshi bought the newspapers, and then went to buy four pounds of pork and one pound of rock sugar before heading home.
On the way home, Sang Jingyun held the newspaper and felt a little excited.
The editors of the New Novel Newspaper probably misunderstood her identity and thought she was a famous writer, so they used punctuation when publishing her novel.
This is of great benefit to her.
There will definitely be a lot of people who will pay attention to her novel.
Even some people who don't usually read novels might read his novels.
But as they walked, Sang Jingyun's excitement gradually faded away and he began to think about other things.
Originally, she just wanted to write a novel that could be published quickly and make money, and didn't think much about it.
But now that her novels are so highly valued, perhaps her pursuit should not be limited to this.
Sang Jingyun felt that he could find a way to write this novel better.
She was very self-aware. In terms of knowledge, she was definitely not as good as those literati who had studied for many years at that time.
In terms of understanding of classical Chinese alone, Sang Jingying far surpasses her.
When she was in junior high and high school, she learned a lot of ancient Chinese texts, but after a long time, she forgot all of them to her teacher.
She couldn't understand some of the content that was written in pure classical Chinese.
But she also has advantages.
She dared to guarantee that the total number of novels she had read was more than anyone else at that time, and the total number of novels she had written was also more than anyone else at that time.
In her previous life, she really loved reading novels and she read very quickly. If she was reading online novels, sometimes she would read non-stop for a whole day and could read millions of words.
Not to mention writing novels. In the Internet age, some novels have a total word count of over 10 million words. For people of this era, being able to write a novel of one million words is already a remarkable achievement.
She has been writing novels for more than ten years, totaling 20 million words.
These novels may lack in literary quality, but they are by no means bad in their ability to stir emotions and move people.
Especially for ordinary people.
Novels can give people strength. She can shape Meng You more attentively and convey positive thoughts to people.
The character Meng You in her writing is someone who will never give up no matter what hardships he encounters. In subsequent stories, she can describe him more in this regard.
She wants to tell readers that there is always a rainbow after the storm!
And then there’s the ending of this story.
The ending of the story was already decided by Sang Jingyun.
Although her book is called "The Two-Faced Demon Lord", she never thought of letting Meng You remain the leader of the demon cult.
The evil cult is a dark and evil force that harms the people. It should not exist.
This was her idea, and also Meng You’s idea.
However, the evil cult is bad, and not all righteous people are good. Meng You's entire family died at the hands of the hypocritical righteous people.
In this story, there are many martial artists who rely on their superb martial arts skills and do not take the lives of ordinary people seriously.
Just like the evil cults kidnapping young children to train them as assassins, and like the righteous people completely ignoring the ordinary people who are implicated when they are fighting against evil and defending the way.
These martial arts masters are the privileged class and capitalists in the martial arts world.
Some martial artists are fine, but many of them, after acquiring martial powers, recruit many disciples and become local bullies, making the local people miserable.
These martial artists do not engage in production, but they have an endless supply of resources for training and can train countless thugs by exploiting the people in the areas they control.
According to Sang Jingyun's setting, many martial artists worked together to destroy Mingjian Villa.
One is to snatch the absolutely peerless martial arts, and the other is to learn about Mingjian Villa's ability to forge weapons.
The Meng family owns an iron mine and has top-notch weapon forging technology, so it is called Mingjian Villa.
After the Meng family was destroyed, the iron ore and casting technology were divided up by those people. After those people cast a large number of weapons, they also seized the territory and made a lot of money...
According to Sang Jingyun's original plan, after taking control of the Demon Sect, Meng You would pretend to be a young man who was ignorant of the world and enter the martial arts world.
He will expose the true faces of his enemies one by one and eliminate them all. He will also set up a trap to make both the evil cult members and the martial artists suffer losses.
Finally, he showed up with his true confidants, the secret guards of the Demon Cult who had shared life and death with him, to abolish the martial arts of the martial arts masters.
This world does not need people who act superiorly just because they have martial arts skills.
Meng You had worked his way up the social ladder. He was once a secret guard who was treated as a consumable by the Demon Cult.
He didn't want the dragon slayer to become an evil dragon, so after becoming the best in the world, he lived in seclusion with many secret guards.
They taught children from ordinary families to practice "Wuming Jue" and spread this technique.
This practice was created by monks and requires the practitioner to have a firm heart and a compassionate heart.
Not everyone can succeed in cultivation, but there must be many people with firm beliefs who can succeed and protect this martial arts world.
Sang Jingyun was very satisfied with this ending and had no intention of changing it, which was also in line with Meng You's idea.
But she realized she could add something else.
For example, in the middle, after Meng You entered the territory of an enemy, he found that the people there were suffering from bullying. He could select the young and strong among them, teach them the "Nameless Secret" and the magic cult's quick success method, so that they could quickly improve their strength without hurting their bodies, and then lead them to resist the gangs that enslaved them and fight against the local tyrants to divide the land.
No, it’s not about fighting the rich, it’s about fighting the gangs and dividing the land.
In short, a single spark can start a prairie fire!
It feels really good to think about it this way!
During the writing process, she can also incorporate her own thoughts.
During this period, class contradictions were really great.
In Shanghai, if a foreigner killed a Chinese civilian, he would not be punished with death, even if the evidence was solid.
Not to mention foreigners, even some privileged classes in the country have harmed the people without paying the price with their lives.
It is not uncommon to trick people into selling them, or to conscript young men into the army to be cannon fodder.
But this is not right.
Sang Jingyun comes from an era where everyone is equal, and she believes deep down that everyone should be equal.
She also has another advantage, which is her thinking, which is different from that of people of this era.
Even though she has already returned most of the ideology and politics she learned in school to her teachers, after being influenced by them for decades, her deep-seated thoughts are different from those of this era.
It’s not appropriate to write about it directly, so I’ll just write about the world of martial arts and no one will say anything.
This was just a whim of a sixteen-year-old girl.
Sang Jingyun chuckled and suddenly realized that the plot of the novel could be enriched.
She originally didn't plan to make this novel longer, but now that the New Novel Newspaper has given her such a good platform, why doesn't she make it longer?
She could even write that after the protagonist sweeps through the martial arts world, all the weapon-casting workshops and so on are nationalized, no, they are owned by the Wulin Alliance. Then the Wulin Alliance is composed of representatives elected from all over the country, and what they have to do is to maintain public order in all places and serve the people.
The more I think about it, the more excited I get.
Many scenes popped up in Sang Jingyun's mind, and he was completely oblivious to everything for a moment.
"Ayun, let's go pick up your mother first." Sang Qian said.
Sang Jingyun suddenly came to his senses and his agitated mood slowly calmed down.
The things she thought of could be combined with her martial arts story. In fact, in some martial arts novels in the Internet age, the protagonists would do just that.
They were not far from their residence, and Sang Jingyun saw the shanties on the other side of the river again.
She withdrew her gaze and turned her eyes to the river.
Although it is autumn, the temperature is still suitable and the fields are full of greenery.
Many vegetables are even planted at this time, such as Shanghai green. If they are planted at this time, the frost-bitten vegetables will taste sweet in winter.
Sang Jingyun saw farmers and tenants weeding and watering the fields, and children around six or seven years old were catching bugs on green vegetables with bowls.
Due to the lack of fertilizers and pesticides, vegetables are not growing well at this time and there are many insects in the fields.
The vegetables they ate on a daily basis were covered with worm holes. When Sang Qianshi or Sang Xuewen washed the vegetables on a daily basis, Sang Jingyun would not go over, lest he see the worms on the vegetables and lose his appetite when eating.
She had lived in the countryside for many years in her previous life and was no longer afraid of insects, but she still felt disgusted when she saw them.
And every time this happened, she couldn't help but sigh.
Life in the 21st century is truly happy!
Now, children catch the insects on the leaves, which not only protects the crops in the fields, but also provides food for the chickens and ducks at home.
Even though it was a little cold today, these children were still barefoot. They were very thin and dark, with rough faces, but they all had smiles on their faces.
After all, the area around Shanghai has been relatively peaceful in recent years.
But these people and children don’t know that this place will become a battlefield in the future.
Sang Jingyun's heart sank.
Just then, Sang Jingyun saw Sang Jingli from afar.
The surrounding farmers all know about the Sang family's situation.
In private, they would also gloat over Sang Xuewen's misfortune, or use his experience to teach the younger generation, telling them not to learn from Sang Xuewen.
But when they really met the Sang family, they became cautious instead.
After all, the Sang family was wealthy and educated, so in their eyes, they were always different.
Moreover, some of the fields nearby originally belonged to the Sang family. Sang Yuanshan has always been friendly to the tenants of his own fields, so the Sang family has a good reputation here.
When Lu Ying brought Sang Jingli out to play, naturally no one bullied them. Those people looked at Lu Ying with envy.
Farmers' women of Lu Ying's age looked quite old, but Lu Ying looked very young.
The toys that Sang Jingli took out were also very much liked by the children.
She not only had a shuttlecock, but also beautiful sandbags that Lu Ying had sewed with the leftover scraps from making hats for Lanxin Hat Shop, and a bamboo whistle that Sang Jingyun had bought from the county town.
A group of little girls about the same age as Sang Jingli gathered around her and took turns playing with the toys.
Sang Jingli is a child after all, and she wants a playmate. Sang Jingyun noticed that her eyebrows were curved and she looked very happy.
When she saw Sang Jingyun, Sang Jingli called her "sister" and seemed a little reluctant to leave.
Seeing this, Sang Jingyun asked, "Ali, do you still want to continue playing?"
Sang Jingli nodded.
Sang Jingyun looked at Lu Ying and said, "Mom, why don't you play with Ali for a while?"
Lu Ying actually felt a little uncomfortable, but seeing that Sang Jingli was having fun, she nodded.
Seeing this, Sang Jingyun said to the ladies around Lu Ying, "Ladies, my mother is shy, please bear with her."
The ladies smiled and agreed.
When they talked to Lu Ying before and Lu Ying spoke very little, they noticed that Lu Ying was a bit shy. Now that Sang Jingyun said this, they were even more certain of this.
They can chat on their own, there is no need to bring Lu Ying along.
After Sang Jingyun and the others left, these people started chatting among themselves. Lu Ying felt much more at ease now and listened to them attentively.
In the previous six months, the house was in a mess and Lu Ying was in a bad mood.
After Sang Yuanshan passed away, she couldn't sleep all night.
But later, Sang Jingyun and Sang Jingying found a job in the county town and brought her some needlework to do. Her condition improved a lot and she ate well and slept well.
At this moment, she felt better listening to these aunties gossiping about other people's affairs.
In fact, her family lives a good life and her children are doing well.
After Sang Jingyun and Sang Qian returned home, Sang Qian first let Sang Xuewen out of the house.
Sang Jingyun immediately said, "Dad, my novel has been published! Take a look."
Sang Jingyun gave Sang Xuewen a newspaper. After Sang Xuewen took it, he quickly turned to "The Two-Faced Demon Lord" written by Sang Jingyun.
Every day after Sang Jingyun wrote the manuscript of "The Two-Faced Demon Lord", he would help copy it. Sang Xuewen was very familiar with the content of this novel.
But he still likes this novel, and likes it more than ever.
He read the manuscript written by Sang Jingyun over and over again, and even memorized a lot of the content. He felt that he could gain strength from this novel.
Now seeing the novel being published, Sang Xuewen suddenly burst into tears: "Good, really good."
Sang Jingyun always felt that Sang Xuewen was more excited than her when seeing the novel being published.
Without thinking too much, she took out the manuscript she had written yesterday and gave it to Sang Xuewen: "Dad, this is what I wrote yesterday. Please copy it for me. I will write today's."
Perhaps it was because she had thought a lot on the way back, now her inspiration was flowing like a spring and she had a lot of things to write.
Sang Jingyun couldn't wait to write these things down.
Sang Xuewen responded and took the manuscript to copy it.
However, he didn't copy much before he was called away by Sang Qianshi, who asked him to cook.
For more than a month, Sang Jingyun has been brainwashing Sang Qian.
Sang Jingyun knew that even if one had gone through great pains to quit smoking opium, it would be easy to start again.
If Sang Xuewen is released, he might start smoking again.
Therefore, they must not let Sang Xuewen go.
It's not okay for him to do nothing at home.
Sang Jingyun asked Sang Qianshi to teach Sang Xuewen how to do household chores: "Grandma, my two younger brothers will definitely get married in the future. We can't afford servants right now. Cooking and taking care of the children will definitely require both my parents to help."
"If Dad does nothing, he might be disliked by his daughter-in-law in the future. But if he can do all the housework, everyone will definitely treat him better."
"Grandma, you've seen it too. Jingying is fine, but Jingxiong hates Dad in his heart. If Dad does more, Jingxiong will slowly let it go."
……
Sang Qianshi agreed with this and taught Sang Xuewen everything.
An old man who knows nothing will definitely be disliked, but if Sang Xuewen does more work and helps take care of his grandchildren in the future, his children and grandchildren will always be better to him.
No matter how much Sang Qian blamed Sang Xuewen, Sang Xuewen was still her own son, and she would subconsciously help Sang Xuewen.
And today, she taught Sang Xuewen how to make braised pork.
Sang Jingyun wrote five hundred words carefully and couldn't continue.
Fragrant, so fragrant!
Although she had an egg in the morning, it was not very oily. After walking more than 10,000 steps in the county town, she felt a little hungry.
Now she smelled the aroma of the braised pork, she couldn't bear it any longer.
She wants to eat!
At noon, Sang Jingyun ate braised pork.
The cooking skills of Sang Qianshi and Sang Xuewen are very average and their braised pork is not authentic.
But for hungry people, as long as it is meat, it is delicious.
Sang Jingyun ate a big bowl of rice and three pieces of meat, even the fat meat that he used to hate.
After eating, she went back to her room to take a nap. At this time, in the concession, Huang Peicheng was smiling happily.
He felt that today's "New Novel" should really be able to sell 10,000 copies!
Over 10,000 yuan sold every day! He will definitely make a lot of money in the future!
Gao Hanlin could not even compare to him even if he flattered him. Gao Hanlin's Shanghai Daily only sold four to five thousand copies a day, only half of his.
With this in mind, Huang Peicheng found the people in the printing room and asked them to print 10,000 copies of tomorrow's newspaper after printing today's newspaper, and he would charge them for it.
The printer was both happy and sad.
To print 10,000 newspapers, they will definitely have to work overtime tonight!
But you can get more wages, which is also a good thing.
