Ang Lee just wanted to know which characters these children of the Tang dynasty liked the most, so that he could know whether their worldview was normal.
If these children all liked bad people, like the vicious Ouyang Feng, it would be bad. Hearing the chubby boy say that he liked Guo Jing just now, Ang Lee felt warm in his heart. This was enough to show that this child liked positive characters and was a good child.
"I like Huazheng because she is a beautiful Mongolian princess and a good person."
The little girl stared at Ang Lee with her big watery eyes.
"Haha! One of you likes Guo Jing, and the other likes Huazheng. Do you think Guo Jing and Huazheng will be together? "
Ang Lee asked with a smile.
He wanted to know the ability of these children to analyze the plot and see how intelligent they were.
Li Yu was also very curious and quickly moved closer. He had finished reading all the updated content of the Shooting Condor and had some of his own speculations. However, this story was still written by Li An, so he was not sure what the plot would be like in the future.
"They will be together. I like them together."
"Guo Jing is the best. Huazheng is also very good. We all like them. They should be together."
"Yes, yes, yes, we all like Huazheng and Guo Jing."
A group of children talked at once.
"Prince Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, what do you think?"
Ang Lee smiled. He had expected that these children's IQ was limited and it was impossible for them to guess the plot. How could these children understand these tricks? They could only watch the fun.
Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Wang thinks that this silly Guo Jing will not only be with Huazheng, but also with the little vixen who torments people. However, the story was made up by Assistant Minister Li. It is not up to Assistant Minister Li to decide whether they should be together or not."
Yes, it was just a story. In Li Yu's mind, this was a long story made up by Ang Lee. How the plot would develop was entirely up to Ang Lee.
When Li An heard this, he immediately felt that the plot of the Condor Shooters needed to be changed. After all, the Condor Shooters in the future was published in a monogamous environment. The characters in the story were all in pairs. However, in the current Tang society, capable people had multiple wives and concubines. If the plot was still designed according to the monogamous rules, it would definitely not be popular.
Since Huazheng and Huang Rong both liked Guo Jing, why should they break them up? A silly boy marrying two women was not a big deal. At least in the Tang dynasty readers, it was completely feasible.
"What Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon said is right. Whether they can be together or not depends on me. I will not let the readers down."
Ang Lee had made up his mind to change the plot of the Shooting Condor. All the regrettable scenes would be changed into a satisfying plot. Guo Jing would push down Huazheng and Huang Rong and live a happy life with them. This was the plot that the readers wanted to see.
After eating and drinking, Ang Lee adjusted his thoughts and thought about how to change the current plot to make the story more attractive.
"Assistant Minister Li, let's go to the village and have a look! I haven't been to the village for a long time. "
Li Yu had not shown off for a long time. Riding a tall horse with a group of mighty guards, it was very cool to walk around the village and have a sense of existence.
"Okay! Let's go to the village and see how the people are living. "
Ang Lee also wanted to go to the village, so he agreed readily.
"Stop! You little brats! Stop right there!"
A middle-aged man was aggressively chasing a group of children. Judging from the expression on his face, it seemed that he was going to grind all the children into ashes.
"Stop, what's going on?"
Ang Lee knew these children. They were the ones playing at the entrance of the village. They were fast enough to run into the village before Ang Lee and the others. As for the middle-aged man, he must be a citizen of this village.
"How can you treat some children who are still wet behind the ears like that? You've gone too far. "
Li Yu was very angry. He could not stand the adults bullying these children. Moreover, after chatting with them at the entrance of the village, he had some feelings for these children.
The middle-aged man was originally angry, but when he saw Ang Lee and the others, he was so scared that his legs turned to jelly. His expression changed from anger to shock and he lowered his head.
"Don't be nervous. What's going on? Why are you chasing these children?"
Ang Lee saw that the middle-aged man was nervous and quickly comforted him.
"You be the judge. My newly painted wall was completely destroyed by these kids. The entire wall is filled with fingerprints. What kind of state is this?"
The middle-aged man summoned up his courage and told the truth.
"Oh, is it the wall in front?"
Li Yu used his horsewhip to point at the wall not far away and asked.
"Yes, that's the mud wall of my house."
The group urged their horses over and saw the five fingerprints all over the wall. They immediately laughed out loud.
"You little brats, you just finished eating barbecued meat and you're already fooling around. Look at what you've done to the wall."
Ang Lee found it funny, but he pretended to be angry and scolded these naughty children.
The little fatty pouted and replied in a childish voice, "We're practicing the Nine Yin White Bone Claw."
"Nine Yin White Bone Claw? A bunch of naughty children. "
Ang Lee pressed the little fatty's head and said loudly, "You're not allowed to practice this kind of evil martial arts in the future. Do you hear me?"
"Then what kind of martial arts do we practice?"
The little fatty looked at Ang Lee with a serious face.
Ang Lee's face darkened and said seriously, "You guys should practice Qing Gong! This is the basic skill of martial arts. Run from here to the village entrance and back. When you can run and fly, you'll have mastered Qing Gong. "
"Alright! We'll practice Qing Gong first. Let's go. "
The little fatty took the lead and led the group of naughty children to the village entrance.
"Assistant Minister Li, is it really okay for you to lie to these children like this?"
Li Yu looked at the wall filled with fingerprints and could not hold back his laughter. He joked, "Assistant Minister Li, this is all your fault. If you didn't make up the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, these children wouldn't have ruined the wall like this."
"Yes, yes, yes. It's my fault. However, this is only an earthen wall. It can be repaired with a little treatment. It's just a waste of energy. That's why he's so angry."
Ang Lee felt that it was no big deal. The earthen wall was ruined. It just needed to be cleaned up and covered with more mud.
The middle-aged man listened to the conversation between the two and was really frightened. This was the Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon and the assistant minister. These were both extremely noble statuses! He was just a commoner. How could he afford to offend them?
"It's only an earthen wall. It can be repaired with a little treatment."
The middle-aged man chuckled as he picked up a wooden bucket filled with mud and began to repair the damaged wall. He had just chased after these naughty brats in a fit of anger. In fact, this was really not a big deal.
"Assistant Minister Li, it's very late. Xiao Wang should go back to the city. Goodbye."
Li Yu had to go back. If he spent the night outside, it would be troublesome. After all, he was the eldest grandson of the emperor and the eldest son of the crown prince. If he spent the night outside the city, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
"Let's meet again when we have time."
Ang Lee slightly saluted with his fists.
After saying goodbye to Li Yu of the Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, Ang Lee returned to the courtyard and prepared to write the revised outline for the later part of the plot.
With the daily release of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, Tang Dynasty Daily gained more and more fans. Not only did this satisfy the daily lives of many bored people, but it also supported many storytellers. After they finished reading the Legend of the Condor Heroes, they could use more vivid language to describe the novel more vividly. This way, they could gain more fans and earn more money.
As the plot of the Legend of the Condor Heroes continued to progress, the number of fans of the Tang Dynasty newspaper increased rapidly. The sales of the newspaper had exceeded 40,000 copies. Although the price of the newspaper was very low and they had to pay the writers, the income from advertising continued to increase. As a result, the Tang Dynasty newspaper was still profitable. In fact, the profits were getting higher and higher. This made Ang Lee very happy.
"Assistant Minister Li, Yang Taifu is here."
Ang Lee had just walked to the newspaper office from the R&D center. He had not even sat down when he heard that Yang Zhao was here.
"What is this old man doing here?"
Ang Lee did not like Yang Zhao. This guy was too shameless. Moreover, he was getting more and more presumptuous just because he was a relative of the Imperial Concubine.
Some time ago, the Emperor was assassinated. This case was investigated by Yang Zhao. In the end, he was busy for half a month but still could not figure out the assassin's situation. During this time, rumors of the Sixth Prince's rebellion spread. This made the Emperor extremely dissatisfied. He ordered Yang Zhao to solve the case as soon as possible and catch the assassin who had escaped.
However, Yang Zhao's ability was limited. He could not solve this at all. Therefore, he could only use some prisoners who had committed the death penalty to replace the assassin. He also fabricated evidence and said that the Emperor's political opponents were behind the assassin. This caused the death of a group of loyal officials.
"Assistant Minister Li, long time no see."
Although Yang Zhao was arrogant and despotic, he was very docile in front of Ang Lee. After all, Ang Lee's strength was there for everyone to see. He did not dare to offend him.
"Haha! It's Yang Taifu! I heard that you solved the assassin's case and were rewarded by the Emperor. "
Ang Lee's words carried a hint of jealousy. His original intention was to mock Yang Zhao.
However, Yang Zhao did not seem to take it to heart. Or perhaps, he did not hear the hidden meaning in Ang Lee's words. He chuckled and said, "Just a bunch of traitors. They should be killed, killed, haha!"
When speaking of framing loyal officials, he did not seem to have the slightest bit of regret. It was as if no matter who it was, as long as they did not agree with his political views, they were traitors and should be killed.
Since ancient times, factional strife had been a disaster for the country. Different interest groups would constantly engage in internal strife for their own personal gain. This would greatly deplete their own strength and allow external enemies to take advantage of the situation.
The most tragic example of this was the rebellion of the Eight Princes of the Western Jin Dynasty. If not for the Eight Princes fighting amongst themselves and causing severe damage to the empire, how could the Five Barbarians be a match for the Jin Dynasty?
After the internal strife, the Jin Dynasty was riddled with holes. It no longer had the strength to resist the invasion of the Barbarians from the north. As such, the Hua Xia people faced an unprecedented crisis and almost went extinct.
This was the case for the subsequent dynasties as well. Factional strife was an unavoidable situation that left all the rulers helpless.
Of course, if the factional strife could be controlled to a certain extent, there were still benefits. This way, it would be easier for the Emperor to control and maintain a balance of power, preventing one faction from becoming too powerful.
However, if the factional strife broke the bottom line and all sorts of shameless schemes were used, it would cause severe internal strife within the country. The goal of maintaining a balance of power would not be achieved, and the country would be divided and destroyed.
"Yang Taifu, did you come to the newspaper office to publish an article?"
Ang Lee could not be bothered to chat with Yang Zhao and got straight to the point.
"The article on eliminating the assassins has already been written. I came here today for something else."
Yang Zhao said seriously.
"Oh, something else? What is it?"
Ang Lee hurriedly asked.
Yang Zhao chuckled and pondered for a moment before saying, "First of all, I would like to thank Assistant Minister Li for his generosity. If not for Assistant Minister Li giving away the Shubao and the new underwear, our Yang Clan would not have been able to accumulate such a large family business in such a short time."
The corners of Li An's mouth curled into a slight smile as he opened his mouth and said, "Small matter, these are all small matters! Yang Taifu, you don't have to be so courteous with me. What is it? "
Ang Lee did not have time to beat around the bush with this brat and asked impatiently.
"Assistant Minister Li, the situation is like this. The Shubao and the new underwear are developing very well. However, if they can be advertised in the Tang dynasty newspaper, the effect will definitely be better. I'm here to advertise."
Yang Zhao said embarrassedly.
"Oh, so you're here to advertise the Shubao and the new underwear! That's easy to do. You just need to pay some money. Just have the servants come and tell them. "
Ang Lee said casually.
"Assistant Minister Li is right. However, I want the advertisement to take up more space and the graphics to be more eye-catching so that people can see it at a glance."
Yang Zhao said seriously.
Ang Lee immediately understood. He came here personally to set higher standards for the advertisement. The advertisement with vivid graphics was the most attractive. Moreover, the bigger the graphics, the higher the chances of people seeing it.
How could the effect of 'Wind Blows' and 'Categorized Text Promotions' be the same? Even a fool would know that there was a huge difference between the two.
"Look, I've already asked someone to draw up the layout of the advertisement. There are two copies."
Yang Zhao shamelessly placed the advertisement's renderings in front of Ang Lee.
Ang Lee took a closer look. These two advertisements were not small. Together, they could take up four whole pages, which was equivalent to an entire page.
"So many words and graphics, taking up so much space. Yang Taifu, you're really generous! This advertisement must cost a lot. "
Ang Lee reminded Yang Zhao that it would cost a lot.
