Lord of Industrialization

On the 80th birthday of the Grand Duke of Milan, everyone in Milan received a string of sausages, two cans of red tomato sauce, and five kilograms of noodles. People from the surrounding villages continued to pour into the city, and the queues almost filled the streets.

The dinner for the dignitaries in the official residence was extremely luxurious. Ten unicorns were stewed and the tails of three fire dragons were roasted to create a fragrant aroma.

When the song ends and everyone disperses, everything returns to calm.

Underneath the calm, a spark is brewing.

After revealing his identity, Riva moved to Frederick's residence that originally belonged to the Rey family. He ate and drank freely every day without saving any money for Frederick.

Before the banquet at the Grand Duke's Palace in Milan that day, Riva wanted to see Frederick's sword - the Sword of Remit.

Frederick naturally agreed, but when he handed over the Sword of Remit, he handed it to his left hand.

This move was just a trivial matter in the eyes of outsiders, but Riva was very depressed that the secret of being left-handed, which he had hidden for decades, was actually known to him.

Needless to say, it must have been Richard Nall who told him.

The battle between Riva and Richard Nar at this level is not just a battle of real swords and guns. Richard Nar has seen through Riva's hidden skills, which shows that he is stronger than him.

A small difference in a confrontation between equals could mean life and death. Naturally, Frederick would not publicize Riva's secret feud. Only the person involved needed to know about this kind of revelation.

That afternoon, Riva was in the living room, with Happy Water in one hand and chips dipped in ketchup in the other, listening with interest to Ludovico's newly created script.

Shitou is also the prototype of the protagonist, but the script exaggerates it so much that it makes his face red.

He was here to deliver a wedding invitation, and it happened to be the right time. He thought he would have known that he would get up early today and come in the morning.

After Shitou won the championship, he received simple treatment from professionals. The Grand Duke of Milan made him a knight on the spot, achieving a class leap.

Then someone was tied upside down to a rack and moved into the arena, where he was given laxatives before going on stage.

Now the stone is the new carrot and there is no pit, so I will get married while I have time.

Ludovico finished reading the script and waited for everyone's comments.

The first scene of the play describes how Riva ran out of money when he was traveling around. When he wanted to drink, he tricked Shitou into buying wine for himself and taught him swordsmanship.

This plot is not uncommon, but the second scene is not that in previous dramas, young people show off their power and make great achievements after practicing magical skills, but that they are suppressed in the arena because they have no backstage, and in the end they become discouraged and fish for fish all day long.

In the third act, the protagonist meets love, and his cold and numb heart begins to heat up again. In order to let his lover live a better life, he picks up his wasted martial arts.

In the fourth act, the protagonist first defeated a powerful enemy and then was plotted against him, which basically followed Shitou's experience.

The fifth act is mainly about the final part. The protagonist breaks through himself when facing an invincible opponent and finally wins the game.

Shitou was embarrassed to say anything.

After taking a sip of happy water, Riva said: "The opponents in the fourth act just rely on bragging about their achievements to appear powerful, which is not enough."

As the prototype of the final BOSS, he has veto power over this drama. Ludovico dare not neglect and is all ears.

Riva continued: "You should emphasize that each of the opponents has their own strengths, such as strength and speed, and the protagonist should use his own intelligence to defeat them."

He then arranged characteristics for those characters and corresponding cracking methods.

Ludovico immediately recorded that they, men of letters, were not proficient in martial arts, so they could only describe the character as powerful in a bragging way.

Now with professional guidance, this opportunity is not to be missed.

Riva added: "You can reduce the characters, increase the playing time of each character, let the protagonist suffer some losses first, and then use his intelligence to win."

He was deeply connected to this drama, playing the role of a wise and talented person and a good teacher, so he was very attentive and gave a lot of suggestions.

Frederick listened quietly.

He hoped that Ludovico would write a play that celebrated the struggles of small people, and now this play is acceptable as one of the pioneers.

Although the plot has a traditional beginning with the protagonist meeting a noble person, the middle and later stages rely on the protagonist's own efforts, a bit like "Million Pounds", an opportunity falls from the sky, the protagonist seizes the opportunity and becomes famous.

Frederick found that he seemed to be able to be a copywriter again.

This time he decided to reprint the novel "Millions of Pounds" and supplement it with some short stories of the same type into a collection of novels, focusing on stories about small people who seize opportunities and achieve success through their own efforts.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Kingdom of Sardinia, but no one publicizes it.

Today's novels are mainly religious literature, heroic epics and chivalric literature. Urban literature has not yet become a phenomenon, and the citizen class has not become the protagonist of the story.

The development process of the bourgeoisie is also a process of urbanization. A large number of people leave the countryside and enter the factories of the cities to become citizens.

If Frederick wanted to succeed, he needed the support of this group of people. The development of urban literature and citizen literature would help gather the strength of this group of people ideologically and culturally.

The northern part of the Kingdom of Sardinia had developed commerce and handicraft industry, a large urban population, a high level of citizen income, and a strong industrial and commercial atmosphere. It was a suitable place to nurture the urban literature that Frederick needed.

Ludovico and Riva finished communicating, and Frederick also figured out his next plan.

At this time Ludovico asked Frederick for advice.

Frederick thought for a while and said: "I suggest that the lines should be more colloquial, just like speaking normally, and don't pursue rhythm too much."

"Background music should preferably use simple and common instruments, the melody should not be too complicated and can be repeated, and the lyrics should preferably be short and simple in structure and popular in content, so that people can remember it at once."

These days, the lines and lyrics are like poems. The author can do anything to rhyme, and some difficult words and sentences often appear.

Frederick hopes that this play can be spread among people with low cultural level, so it should be easy to understand.

Ludovico's request to Frederick is not surprising.

The "popular songs" popular in the Duchy of Wessen in recent years are only 3 to 5 minutes long, with concise content and easy-to-understand lyrics. Recently, they have been gradually brought to the Kingdom of Sardinia by bards.

Frederick once published a book "March Pot Poems". The poems in it are easy to understand and have no literary techniques. They are not highly regarded in the literary world, but they are quite popular among soldiers.

It's just that sometimes the simpler it is, the harder it is. According to the standards set by Ludovico for himself, the traditional rhythm and Frederick's requirements must be met at the same time, which is a headache.

Ludovico accepted the challenge and decided to polish the script according to Frederick's wishes.

Frederick would not be able to see the premiere of this play. He would leave Milan in two days, and Ludovico would also return to Fira. It would take half a year to perfect and rehearse the script. No one knew where he would be during that time.
