Chapter 1260 Mr. Storyteller
Whenever there is a foreign war in Haihan, the official will launch various propaganda channels to report in detail on the process.In particular, the Ministry of National Defense, which has information about the war, has taken foreign military operations as the main means of self-promotion to the people, so as to let the people establish a sense of pride in joining the army and serving the country.The executive committee also believes that this will help cultivate the patriotic awareness of the people, which is of great significance to the nascent regime of Haihan, so it has always given the green light to the military. Almost all reports on the war progress in newspapers are provided by the Ministry of National Defense. The pens are completed.
The drafts issued by the military are naturally full of enthusiasm, and they try their best to stir up emotions, making everyone who hears them feel emotional.On this day, in a teahouse outside the port area of Sanya, the storyteller in the hall was telling the contents of the South China Sea War in the newspaper to the port workers who had just finished work.These laborers were not very educated, and they were not very interested in the official stereotyped articles published in the Haihan Times, but they liked the slightly exaggerated writing style of popular books like "Nanhai Express" and "Current Affairs Express". For the sake of effect, storytellers are often more willing to preach such articles with more room for free play.
After all, "Haihan Times" is an official media, and the content of the published articles cannot be changed arbitrarily during the preaching, but can only be read according to the content in the newspaper.And these unofficial tabloids have no such scruples. They use exaggerated writing to attract readers. Storytellers can do some harmless secondary processing according to their own style and environment, which can mobilize the audience’s emotions. , so it is also very popular among ordinary people.
"...The enemy bandits from the two countries stormed our Xingdao garrison with several times their strength. Fortunately, General Roger was on the front line and commanded effectively. The general was dark, blood was flowing, and hundreds of corpses were left in front of the formation before retreating angrily. The next day, the enemy invaded the formation with Western-style artillery, and the infantry relied on large shields to cover the attack. It is clearly visible. It’s just that there are more than a thousand unarmed immigrants behind our army, and there is no room for retreat. At a critical juncture, I saw General Luo bring up the four-foot-one-inch-long Lianzhu Shenhuo in front of the formation, aiming at the enemy’s formation. The officers shot one shot at a time..."
The workers in the audience were all tsk-tsk, and some young and energetic guys had already clenched their fists secretly.Although the results of the war had been announced in the official newspapers long ago, I heard that Mr. Shu described the battle process in detail, and it still made people's blood rush, and they were worried about their own army.Some laborers have not been in Haihan for a long time and haven't seen Roger's true face, but they have already made up the image of a fierce general following the storyteller's description.
As for the weapon used by Roger, it was also passed on by word of mouth from the soldiers who retired from the army he led. These people did not understand what "HK416" meant, and Roger's exclusive weapon was passed on to "[-]". Six" is the pronoun.Storytellers naturally have no chance to see this legendary weapon with their own eyes, so they can only process it artistically according to their own understanding and imagination.This information was then transmitted to the audience's minds, and Roger had become a half-human, half-celestial powerful figure with a magic weapon in hand.
The articles on this tabloid contained a lot of exaggeration, coupled with the compilation and interpretation of the storyteller, it became a legendary story like the Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms. So he compiled the Xingdao Battle into a chapter-style biography, and finished it in a few days, so as to attract popularity for himself.
At this time, the storyteller on the stage, whose stage name is "Liu Yisang" and whose real name is Liu Shang, took this kind of road. When it came to the critical moment, he slapped Xingmu and said loudly: "The enemy soldiers are approaching the city, and our army is stationed here." It is critical. Although General Luo is brave, it is not easy to fight back the enemy with a steel gun. How will the enemy in front of him be repelled, and where are the reinforcements coming from Anbuna Island? What's the matter, at this time tomorrow, I will continue to talk about it here. Ladies and gentlemen, this is all for today, tomorrow please be early!"
Immediately, a servant came out with a tea tray. Although the audience below had a lot to say, most of them would follow the default rules and take out some change and put it in the tea tray as a reward for the storyteller.Although most people only put in a dime or two, Liu Shang recently talked about the content of the Xingdao Battle, and the attendance rate of the teahouse is quite good. Occasionally, there are some businessmen who come here to make a big deal, and there are cases where they directly reward a few yuan. .In addition to the basic appearance fee given by the teahouse, Liu Shang can also receive a tip of at least four or five yuan every day. This is definitely considered a high income among local craftsmen, even among his peers. The standard is only a few people.
"Leave a voice" has not been in Sanya for a long time, and he said that the Battle of Xingdao has become famous in the local storytelling world, and it has also brought quite a good source of customers to the teahouse, and it has even begun to have more and more people. Many people paid extra to book seats.The boss was afraid that someone else would dig him out, so he recently took the initiative to cancel the commission for tipping. The hard chairs were replaced with sofa chairs from the official office brand "Sheng IKEA". Ordinary tea leaves worth a pound were exchanged for Dahongpao from Mount Wuyi, Fujian, sold from Daming.
Liu Shang bowed to the audience in a circle, then stepped off the stage and left. A servant in his own shop opened the way for him and led him to the back hall to rest.Jiang Han, the owner of the teahouse, had already prepared some snacks. When he saw Liu Shang coming, he asked him to sit down.
Jiang Han waited until he was almost done eating, and then said: "Mr. Liu, I have something to discuss with you. You can consider whether it can be done."
Liu Shang picked up the towel in the tray and wiped his mouth, nodded and said, "Boss Jiang, please tell me, I will listen carefully."
Jiang Han said: "Mr. Liu's ability, I can be regarded as experience, but this Xingdao battle will be finished in a few days. I wonder if Mr. Liu has prepared other stories to continue the current popularity?"
Liu Shangying said: "It's only been a short time since I came down to Sanya, and I don't know what the local people like. I'd like to ask Boss Jiang for some advice."
Jiang Handao: "Our Haihan Kingdom has been established for a short period of time, but there have been many foreign wars. It can be said that every inch of the country was obtained by the Haihan Army's expansion of territory. Therefore, the country's military spirit is very strong, and the people I also like to listen to this kind of subject matter. I think Mr. Liu's ability to compile books is quite extraordinary, why not compile Haihan's past wars into chapters and jokes, there should be a good response."
Liu Shang murmured: "Boss Jiang is right, I might as well give it a try, but I'm new here and I'm not very familiar with the history of Haihan, so I have to trouble Boss Jiang to find some historical documents to read about these topics."
"It's easy! In the municipal library, you can look up all the newspaper materials published in the past few years. There are reports on the relevant wars, and you can use them as a reference." Jiang Han obviously has already made plans, without hesitation A solution is given.
Liu Shang said again: "It's just that I don't have a Haihan nationality at present, so I'm afraid I can't get into the municipal library?"
"I forgot about this!" Jiang Han patted his head lightly and said: "But it's okay, when you go, I will go with you. You can still enter this library, just to borrow materials Citizenship is required."
"Then there will be Boss Lao Jiang!" Liu Shang seemed to have agreed to Jiang Han's proposal.
"It's something that everyone makes money together, there's nothing to do!" Jiang Han was in a good mood when he saw Liu Shang being so forthright: "When the time comes, just pick a few paragraphs from the Battle of Annan, the Battle of Taiwan, and the Battle of Zhejiang. It’s enough to say that it’s been a year or so. When Mr. Liu becomes famous, he can issue tickets for pre-sale, which will greatly increase the income of you and me. I think that in less than a year, Mr. Liu will be able to buy a house in Sanya and be naturalized!"
Liu Shang arched his hands and said: "Boss Cheng Jiang has said auspicious words! Since that's the case, let's start on another day!"
At this time, the little guy in the store had already collected the rewards and sent them over. Liu Shang counted the amount in front of Jiang Han, and the total amount was four yuan and two jiao.Liu Shang rewarded the two cents to the boy in charge of collecting the money, and then Jiang Han exchanged the change for one-yuan Haihan coins on the cabinet and put it away.Although it has been designated as a legal currency now, old citizens like Jiang Han who have been naturalized for several years are still used to calling it a circulation certificate.
Liu Shang came out of the teahouse and walked along the warehouse area for about a stick of incense before returning to his temporary residence in Sanya.Linchun Sancun is a settlement for migrant workers on the east bank of the Linchun River. Foreigners like Liu Shang who have not obtained Haihan nationality and only have temporary residency can only live in this area designated by the government.This place is several miles away from the bustling Sanya Harbor, and further north is a large collective farm. It can be said that it is already on the edge of Sanya City.
Generally speaking, the new immigrants who come to Sanya organized by the government or dental agencies will arrange their destinations in a unified way, while the scattered people who come to Sanya on their own to seek money can only settle in places like Linchun Sancun.The law and order environment in this kind of place is not as good as that of the main urban area. People of all religions and ranks often live together, and some of them are bold and reckless who try to come to Sanya to make money. in areas that cannot be fully covered.
There are nine rooms in the courtyard where Liu Shang lives, all of which are currently occupied by people, and the toilets, kitchens and bathrooms in the courtyard are all shared.Liu Shang walked back slowly with his hands behind his back, nodded and greeted the neighbors he met, and then went back to his room and closed the door.He came to Sanya alone, so he is currently living in a room alone. Although the furnishings in the room are simple, it is quiet and comfortable.
Liu Shang lit the candle, took out the pen and paper, sharpened the ink himself, and began to write what he was going to talk about in the next few days.However, his manuscript is extremely brief, basically an outline, and the details are perfected in his head.He had read the contents of the "Times" many times over the course of the Battle of Xingdao, and he knew it well. All he had to do was to carry out artistic processing on the basis of the original facts, and add some words that could fully mobilize the audience's emotions. gimmicks and tidbits.
This job is hard to say, as long as you have a certain cultural foundation and imagination, you can do it, but many people who eat this bowl of food are only good at telling stories, not good at making up stories.A book has been handed down for several generations without major changes, and even the tone of some key plots is the same, which is naturally not as interesting as Liu Shang's adaptation of current events with "addition".
Living in the same yard with Liu Shang is a juggling troupe from Leizhou Prefecture, who came to Sanya about a month earlier than him, and has been approved to perform in the main city of Sanya and some areas of Shengli Port.Originally they had rented the entire courtyard, but the only female character in the class had gone back to Leizhou a few days ago, and there was no one to live in, so they just rented it to Liu Shang who had just arrived in Sanya.
This juggling troupe has to cook by itself every day, and Liu Shang, who is alone in his family, joins in as a partner, and only needs to pay for the food.Every morning and evening, Liu Shang eats with them, and at noon, he goes to the teahouse where he is currently working.
When it was getting dark, people from the same courtyard greeted him for dinner outside the house.Liu Shang pushed the door out of the house and came to the courtyard to sit at the same table with the jugglers.Although the dishes on the table are not rich, there are only four dishes with two meat and two vegetables, plus a large pot of cabbage tofu soup. It is indeed a bit shabby for ten people to eat this order, but fortunately, the portion is not bad, and it is not a big problem to control the fullness.
Everyone was silent during the meal, only the sound of chewing food was heard.When the dishes were removed after eating, only Liu Shang and the master of the juggling class were left at the table.The leader of this group is called Liao Yuan, who looks to be in his forties, with a bald head and a big nose, a hulking back, and a very striking image.He was the first to open the mouth and said, "How's your harvest today, sir?"
Liu Shang looked in the direction of the gate of the courtyard, and said expressionlessly: "There are a lot more people who come to listen to the book today, and they all say that Sanya is rich and rich. This rumor is indeed true. The livelihood of this storyteller is comparable to The landlords in many places in Daming are much better. The owner of the teahouse even talked to me specifically, suggesting that I follow the current path and adapt the past wars of Haihan into legends for storytelling. I can’t see it for half a year. With this doorway, you can enter the hall and enter the house in the local area."
"Then you are much more relaxed than us!" Liao Yuan sighed: "Our group spent half an hour playing on the street, doing some boxing, dancing and swordsmanship, and there were not many spectators at all. Rumor has it that Hai Han Martial arts, why are there not many people who know the goods? I have been here for a long time, and there is not even a person who takes the initiative to learn from a teacher."
Liu Shang glanced at him sideways, and then turned his eyes back to the direction of the courtyard gate: "Hai Han is true to martial arts, but what they value is not personal bravery, but the strength of Hai Han's army. Anyone who wants to be a hero should join the army After enlisting in the army, how can you be willing to sell tricks on the streets to survive. Learning these things from you will not be effective, and it will not be of much use in the army. Naturally, no one will come to you as a teacher. Your original intention for coming here is wrong of!"
