The heavens began with Huo Yuanjia

Chapter 18 The Overlord Yuan Kewen
"Someone wants to see me?" Li Yong wondered in his heart, "Boss Nong didn't say, who is it?"

Huo Yuanjia shook his head, "He said it was inconvenient to reveal his identity, and he will know when you go."

Li Yong would not doubt that Nong Jinsun would harm him. Of course, he must be on guard against others, so he hoped that Huo Yuanjia would go with him.

Isn't it a matter of course for a master to protect his apprentice?

As a result, Huo Yuanjia glared at him immediately, and said: "Usually, when I am not around, you are asked to bring more juniors and younger brothers and sisters. Is this how you take them? Now you are ashamed to let me take time to accompany you to meet people, thinking that I With so much free time, don’t you need disciples to teach you?”

Li Yong immediately felt a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to mention it any more.

Of course, in fact, Huo Yuanjia also knew his intention to spread this among these juniors and juniors.

Because "New Novel" has limited sales, its current impact is also limited.

"New Fiction" is a periodical founded by Liang Qichao in Yokohama, Japan last year. With the influence of his contacts, it was able to distribute to the whole country from Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou and other places as nodes.

However, Liang Qichao was not in the country, and other people were in charge of the country. It happened that Nong Jinsun knew him, and after showing "Tianlong" to him, he was moved.

As a martial arts novel, "Tianlong" has barely encountered the acclimatization of the environment, and the story still suits the appetite of many people. You can tell by looking at the expectant eyes of the juniors and younger sisters in the martial arts hall.

"New Fiction" originally had the intention of testing the waters. Although most of the novels in this period were linked to politics, Liang Qichao did not make any mandatory regulations. It can only be said that writers in the late Qing Dynasty used this method to express their desire to eradicate The old evils, the strong desire to look forward to the new world.

Therefore, "Tianlong" actually meets its requirements, and it is not surprising that it was selected.

However, as a popular novel, "Tianlong" is naturally inferior in artistic value and connotation to condemning novels such as "The Strange Situation Witnessed in 20 Years" and "The Appearance of Officialdom". Therefore, among the mainstream audiences of "New Novels", evaluation Not very good.

In this case, he either switched to his family, or it was more attractive to read novels.

So Li Yong wanted to use this method to tell stories to his juniors and younger sisters in the martial arts hall, and he wanted to first bring Tianlong's fame.

His disciples have family ties from all walks of life. In addition to some friends introduced by Nong Jinsun and the guys from Guyuelou, they have actually attracted many other people to come here now.

So if the novel can be passed on through their mouths, then the novel will become more famous and more people will want to read it, and more people will read "New Novel".

On the one hand, it is naturally to spread this story, also spread the chivalrous spirit in the story, and inspire readers' patriotic enthusiasm.

On the other hand, of course, it is also for small money.

After all, there are more people who know about it, more people who see it, and more people who buy it later, and he can get more money.

After all, what he eats now is with Huo Yuanjia, which is equivalent to using Nong Jinsun. If he cannot be financially independent, many ideas will not be realized.

In fact, Li Yong also invited many other storytellers to make a brief version of the story—in fact, it is his original version, which is more popular and vernacular, and let them go to Tianqiao, teahouses, and restaurants to tell it.

When this reputation grows, more and more people will naturally know about and want to read novels, which will in turn boost the sales of "New Novel", and they may have to thank him.

After leaving the martial arts hall, which was also Huo's house, Li Yong went to Guyuelou, greeted those guys, and arrived at Nong Jinsun's office on the second floor.

He is now a frequent visitor here, and naturally no one will stop him.

After knocking on the door and entering the room, I saw that besides Nong Jinsun, there were two other people inside.

A middle-aged man is leading a young man, both of them are dressed in fancy clothes, their identities are obviously not ordinary.

But it was obvious that the middle-aged man was dominated by the young man, and when Li Yong came in, the young man immediately looked over and frowned.

"Tie Zhu, are you here?" Nong Jinsun was still entertaining the two people at first, but when he heard the movement, he raised his head and immediately came over to pull Li Yong, then pointed to the two people in front of him and said: " Come, meet these two guests first.

"This one is Mr. Zhao, the chief officer of the Patrol Bureau; that one is the son of Mr. Yuan, the governor of Zhili. They came here for you."

Li Yong was stunned for a moment, and then muttered in his heart.

He can guarantee that he has not had any extra contact with the outside world so far in Jinmen, so he really can't figure out how these two people would recognize him and come to him through Nong Jinsun.

From the looks of it, it doesn't look like he's here to ask for trouble, but in other respects—does Tie Zhu have any relatives outside?
If this is a relative with Yuan Datou...

But the young man stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "I never thought that Jin Daxia would be so young, but..."

He is a little hard to describe, because Li Yong's attire at this time is obviously the bunt that is often seen in martial arts, coolies and other identities, so not only his age, but this attire is different from the gentleman he imagined. , don't say it's a big difference, it can only be said that it has nothing to do with it.

Of course he didn't know that the other author of "Tianlong" is really a scholar.

Although the overall framework and characters of the story come from Li Yong, he also made a lot of adaptations, such as the use of poems, such as the use of allusions. Anyway, he has used his cultural person to the extreme.

As for the style of writing, it can only be said that it is in line with the characteristics of this era. It is not so vernacular, but at Li Yong's request, it is more close to popular and popular, and it is probably in the style of Water Margin.

Of course, at this time, Li Yong would not drag Zhang Muzhi out, so he took full responsibility for it.

And when he heard the other party say that, he also knew that he was here for "Tianlong".

Arching his hands, Li Yong said: "Under Tiezhu, I was a villager from the mountains. After reading some characters, I randomly put what I thought in my mind into words, and then I wrote the article "Tianlong". It is vulgar and superficial, unsightly. I hope you two don't take offense."

Second Master Yuan laughed loudly and said: "Interesting, interesting, I came to Tianjin this time, I just wanted to see the military music school run by my father, but I didn't expect to see such an interesting novel, now I read it again To someone as interesting as you.

"How about it? Are you interested in going to the Military Music School with me? On the way, tell me how the story developed..."

Good guy!
Is the relationship coming in person to urge you to update?
However, the identity of the other party put Li Yong under a lot of pressure, especially when he looked at Mr. Zhao beside him.

Although Li Yong knew that the police stations were divided into different places these days, each with its own jurisdiction, it was not difficult for someone who really wanted to deal with an ordinary person.

Nong Jinsun obviously thought of this too, so he looked at him with some concern.

At this time, he seemed to have no room to intervene.

At this time, Zhao Bingjun whispered from the side: "Second Young Master, Governor Yuan can let you go back after watching the military band performance. You..."

"When did I say I won't go back?" Yuan Ergong said, and suddenly asked Li Yong: "If I want to hire you as my teacher, I will give you... ten taels of silver every month, if you don't want it?"

"Ah this..."
