But Li Min said: "I will give you a topic, and you are required to write a novel starting with 2,000 words within two hours. Those who can pass will be directly hired, and I can give you a fee of 100,000 words per month.
About a hundred taels! No upper limit!"
When these old guys heard this, they were all stunned.
Why?
Because they are still teachers after all, and they teach a lot of lessons!
Don’t know how to write novels yet?
And he still needs to be tested?
To be honest, it is inevitable that they will have some resistance in their hearts.
Why?
Even if Li Min is the most talented person in Chang'an and the sixth prince, he can't be like this, right?
But when Li Min said that he would have about one hundred taels of money immediately after being hired, and there was no upper limit.
Everyone is as if they have been injected with chicken blood.
If there is no upper limit, the price will be infinitely high.
Everyone is eager to try.
They all said: "I can try! I don't know, what is the issue?"
"Me too, I can participate!"
"And I!"
…
Everyone expressed their willingness to join.
Zheng Bufan watched from the side and asked, are these masters still known to him, aloof masters?
Obviously not.
How could they be?
But it's obvious that they are here, their faces are so familiar.
Kong Yingda was also very puzzled.
But to be honest, I have some and want to try it.
However, due to his own dignity, he did not participate in it.
There is no need to participate. Perhaps relying on his granddaughter's position in the Shengtang Group in the future, his life will not be too bad.
"Okay, since everyone is willing, let me talk about some common sense about novels. Novel is a literary genre that focuses on portraying characters and reflects social life through complete storylines and environmental descriptions.
Characters, plot, and environment are the three elements of a novel. The plot generally includes four parts: beginning, development, climax, and ending, and some include a prologue and an ending. The environment includes the natural environment and the social environment."
After that, everyone listened. They had been dealing with literature for many years, and they all wrote down what Li Min said.
Next, Li Min added: "Also, regarding the writing at the beginning, I have a few requirements. The first point is that the protagonist must be clear, and the protagonist must appear in the first hundred words. Only in this way can people continue to read, after all
If not, the novel would be meaningless.
Second, the story must be attractive! If a story cannot be liked by people, then the novel has no value. Writing it down will only be a waste of time. The reason why I gave such a high price is because of the novel.
You have to sell it and you have to make money!
Third, the story must be sustainable before it can be written long. The longer you write, the more money you will make! It is not easy for you to get started. If you want to make more money, you have to write more. Just these three points, you
Do you have any comments?"
These are some common sense things.
Because these people had never written novels, Li Min felt that it was necessary to let them know.
Only in this way can we produce excellent products!
When Zheng Bufan heard this, he finally understood why Li Min sent scholars. Was it also to write novels?
But Li Min didn't think so. Instead, these scholars could do some proofreading tasks.
As for whether you can write, that depends on your talent.
You still have to pass an assessment like today.
Only those who can get into Li Min's eyes can get the money.
Therefore, this money is not easy to get, and only a scholar can pick up money.
And because of Li Min's behavior, some changes have occurred in the future.
Some scholars no longer take any exams for fame and directly make a living by writing.
It is better to make money and live a good life than to be in fear in front of the emperor every day.
After Li Min finished speaking, everyone said they had no objections.
"Everything will follow Mr. Zili's arrangements!"
"What Mr. Zili says is whatever he says, I have no objection!"
…
"Okay, I have dozens of tables in my backyard. I will have people bring pens and paper over there, and you can write there. If you can finish it within two hours, those who can pass my judgment will be hired directly! And, this
For this assessment, you can learn from each other and discuss! I will provide you with the topics in a moment."
After that, he asked Zhu Shan to prepare everything.
At this time Ji Ruxue and others were shocked.
Normally, only the masters assess the students.
Today, Li Min wants to test these masters.
They may not have thought that they would also have to take the exam.
Immediately afterwards, these masters went directly to take the exam.
Two hours and two thousand words are actually not too much.
A normal person's writing speed is about 25 words per minute, and 1,500 words per hour. If you write quickly, plus time for thinking, you can write at least 1,000 words per hour.
If you can't write two thousand words in two hours and four hours, then you're not the person Li Min wants.
Because if you can't achieve it, you will spend half of the day writing, and it will be difficult to achieve 100,000 words a month.
He originally wanted them to go faster, but then he thought about it and had to relax his requirements in order to let more people participate.
But this also makes everyone’s heads hurt.
Some people spend a lot of time just thinking.
This is too difficult for them.
But if you want to make that kind of money, what’s easy?
Therefore, those people can only go and be tested.
As for Zheng Bufan, when he saw the end, his expression showed no other feelings except shock.
When the masters began to take the exam, Ji Ruxue came over and said: "Mr. Zili, you have really improved your talents! These masters have been treated very well by you!"
Li Min chuckled.
That's of course, why don't you look at who it is?
And just as the masters were beginning their exams, news about their appearance in the Shengtang Group had already spread throughout Chang'an City.
At the same time, it also spread to the Wang family.
Wang Yang reacted very violently.
"What on earth does this Zili want to do? Why did he let people from the Imperial College go to him?"
On one side was Changsun Wuji, who at this time became Wang Yang's military advisor.
His arrogance is gone.
"He must be playing some tricks again, but he won't be happy for long!"
"Oh? Why?"
"My good friend Hou Junji is already planning to attack him. Let's just watch the show!"
"If that's the case, that would be great!"
Wang Yang said happily.
Among the masters in the Shengtang Group who were taking exams, it had already been half an hour. Only one or two people started to write, while the others stood blankly.
They don’t know how to write it either!
It would be embarrassing for people who often write articles but have no idea how to write novels.
At the same time, Su Dan came to the Shengtang Group with one person.
