That afternoon, Chen Mu came to the Sanwu Geng Bookstore again.
After my elder brother's running around, the positions of the advertising columns have almost been arranged.
My eldest brother has visited almost all the brothels and restaurants that have become big here in Beicheng.
People in this world don't have the concept of advertising yet. The elder brother puts up a wooden sign next to their door and gives them money. For a piece of land that they don't need, they naturally feel that this is giving them money in vain.
Therefore, a series of fifteen brothels and restaurants were built with only thirty taels of silver, and contracts were signed and rented for a full year.
What is advertising? It should be advertised widely. Advertising boards are all over Beicheng. As long as Chen Mu publishes a book and hangs it up, everyone will know about it.
The eldest brother bought a pot of wine and two roast ducks from across the street. He looked at Chen Mu and still had a pained look on his face and said, "Say, brother, this wooden board cost a full thirty taels of silver. What do you want to do with it?"
Did you announce anything?"
Chen Mu smiled, took out a piece of rice paper and a pencil and started tracing on it.
Chen Jianghe naturally knew Chen Mu's painting skills, so he was eating roast duck while watching Chen Mu's strokes.
Since he had to paint fifteen pictures, the workload was quite large. Chen Mu changed his past heavy and complex painting style, and the paintings he painted this time were more elegant and simple.
It's not very difficult, but Chen Mu could finish a painting in ten minutes.
As for the content of the painting, it is a brightly lit street. There are many people on the street, but a young man from a family can be seen wandering among the crowd, looking for something.
And at the end of the street corner, under a lantern, a beautiful figure is staring at it.
Except for this pair of men and women, the crowds of people are all replaced by a series of shadows. This way of painting saves trouble and can highlight the atmosphere of one person searching and another person longing.
The eldest brother almost finished eating a roast duck. While looking at the painting, he commented: "This painting has artistic conception. If you become a painter, I'm afraid you can become famous all over the world, but... you should also have a prompt."
Bar?"
Chen Jianghe still knew about Chen Mu's paintings and lyrics.
Chen Mu nodded, thinking about it, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately started writing on it.
Compared to painting, Chen Jianghe was more interested in Chen Mu's poetry skills. It can be seen that he has made more than a hundred taels of gold with his literary talent. It can be seen that his skills are profound.
But this time, Chen Mu only wrote four short lines of poetry.
People searched for him thousands of times.
Looking back suddenly,
But that person is there,
dimly lit place
This poem can be regarded as an ancient term, but because it is a love poem, it lacks a sense of majesty and majesty, and has not been canonized by later generations.
But when the painting and the words are combined into one, the romantic mood is immediately apparent.
Chen Mu dared to bet that in today's world, it would be impossible for any 28-year-old woman to have her first love affair without secretly harboring a fascination for love. As long as it reaches this point, it would be easy to say.
Then just write the book information and the sales address next to the advertisement column, and those girls will naturally come to buy it.
Women are more emotional and impulsive when it comes to consumption. As long as their desires are aroused, money will be easily earned.
Seeing this, the eldest brother couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "Hey, eldest brother, I haven't had much contact with women in half my life, why don't I have the realm of you? You are so good at painting and writing!"
Listening to this, I don't know whether the elder brother is praising himself or laughing at himself.
"But don't you think that the artistic depth of this painting is not on the same level as your novel?"
Chen Jianghe has already read the ten books. It is indeed a good book and makes people want to read it.
But... there is no depth, and the content in the book does not match the painting and the word at all.
Chen Mu waved his hand and smiled: "Why do you care so much? This poem will serve as a diversion, as long as they can come to our shop and spend money."
This is Chen Mu's morality. In the face of money, these small virtues are really dispensable. Furthermore, although this book "The Domineering Young Master Falls in Love with Me" does not have the literary depth of ancient literature.
But there is one thing, it is absolutely refreshing to watch, and it is definitely better than those books with humorous lyrics.
After everything was done, Chen and Mu took advantage of the curfew and posted the fifteen adverb paintings.
Chen Mu firmly believed that with this advertising column as a communication medium, this book would definitely become a hit in Beicheng.
Early the next morning, Chen Mu had breakfast and came to the bottom of the list again.
As expected, yesterday's wave of rainbow farts directly sent me to third place.
However, Chen Mu felt a little unbalanced in his heart. He had been praised so well. Logically speaking, he should be number one. So he could only say that the other two buddies were better than him.
After being eliminated in two exams, there are not many students who can make it to the last one.
With the sound of gongs, students entered the examination room one after another.
Next is the last test, which is also an important test that determines whether you can jump into the rank of scholar.
After receiving the test paper, Chen Mu began to review the questions.
This time the exam focuses on policy theory.
On the preservation and sealing of hooks and railings in brothels today.
The meaning is obvious: should private brothels continue to exist, or should all be closed down?
Perhaps the current rulers have noticed this problem. There are too many private brothels nowadays.
Let’s not talk about the small ones. Just talk about the higher-end brothels. There are seven in Beicheng alone, not to mention the other three cities.
The involution is serious and the price is extremely cheap. It can be said that there is no one in this world who does not engage in whoring.
Once the dispensable desires in people become necessities, it will be a devastating disaster for a country or a nation.
Just like these days, Chen Mu rarely hears anyone talk about worrying about the war situation on the border. Instead, they talk about which woman has the biggest breasts and which opera singer can sing well.
Entertaining oneself to death can probably be used to describe the current public sentiment. The Long Xia Dynasty was very bookish and most people were literate, but now it seems that they are just a group of rational illiterates.
Chen Mu thought about it and wrote at the top of the article - Existence is reasonable. Based on this sentence, Chen Mu wrote the article.
Is there anything wrong with these brothel bars? Yes, although it is a gray industry, no matter in which era, this industry has never been wiped out, which shows that the people need it.
Especially in this world, there are not many entertainment facilities. The existence of the brothel industry is very necessary, but if this industry is completely eliminated, many industries such as makeup dealers and cloth dealers will also be affected.
Therefore, in Chen Mu's eyes, there is no need to suppress, and it is necessary not to suppress, as long as it is not too rampant.
After settling on his thoughts, Chen Mu began to formulate words in his mind, and soon listed them on the draft paper.
The last exam took much longer than the first two exams.
Chen Mu finished writing a piece of manuscript paper, and after he finished copying it, the sun had set.
If you pass this exam, you will be a scholar.
Chen Mu was thinking about this, but he had no idea that in Beicheng at that time, especially the fallen women in the brothels, while being ridden by a man, they were thinking about the poem "Looking back suddenly, the lights are dimming".
Even though they have been living in the world of mortals for many years and have met countless men of all kinds, perhaps they have all seen through them.
But when I saw the painting and the poem in the morning, the feelings that had disappeared for many years suddenly rekindled.
Not only are they interested in this poem and painting, most of the worldly women are even more interested in this author named Xishu Yibai.
Suddenly looking back, that person was there, in a dimly lit place...
What a romantic and passionate man he must be to be able to write something like this.
