Chapter 877: The Voyage That Lasted More Than Two Months And The Entertainment Along The Way [Please
Starting from Daming and heading to the Bering Strait at the junction of Asia and North America, if you keep driving along the coastline, the distance will be about 6,000 to 8,000 kilometers.
If you include the supplies along the way to the coast and the transactions with other vassal countries, then the normal time it takes to make a round trip to the North American continent is about three to four months.
Of course, except for the two naval fleets that returned later, King Zhu Fan of Jin and the other millions of immigrants were all one-way travelers who never came back.
In other words, it would take about one and a half to two months for King Zhu Fan of Jin and one million other immigrants to reach the Bering Strait.
For such a long time, if you stay in a small and airtight cabin for the entire journey, and there are no entertainment activities to relieve mental stress, then people will easily develop emotions such as irritability and depression.
Therefore, for this reason, Jin King Zhu Fan also prepared a lot of indoor entertainment activities for the millions of immigrant people.
For example, chess activities include: chess, Go, backgammon, checkers, beast chess, etc.
Another example is the talking book, that is, the novels include: "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Journey to the West", "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Sou Shen Ji" and so on.
Of course, novels such as "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Journey to the West", "The Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon", "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", etc. are definitely not from this era.
And the reason why it appears in the current era is naturally indispensable to Yan Changqing's contribution.
The reason why Yan Changqing wrote these novels was actually just to provide "Daming Bookstore" with more ways to make extra money.
As for reputation, he doesn't need it.
In other words, the reputation of these works gave him, and for him who is now Saint, not only is it not the icing on the cake, but it is a different kind of "stain".
Therefore, the author of these works, those who should be Cao Xueqin are Cao Xueqin's, those who should be Wu Cheng'en are Wu Cheng'en, those who should be Mr. Jin are Mr. Jin's, those who should be Mr. Huang are Mr. Huang's, Yan Changqing does not Take credit.
However, what Yan Changqing did not expect was that when later generations did research on history, they discovered that although these works seemed to be by the so-called "Cao Xueqin" and "Wu Chengen"
Written by "Mr. Jin", "Mr. Huang" and others.
But in fact, they were all written by "Literary Saint Cang Jie"!
Because these novels have so many words, Yan Changqing was too lazy to write them himself, so he found some literate craftsmen to dictate them, and those craftsmen copied them by hand.
At the beginning of the [Da Ming Bookstore] and [Da Ming Daily], Zhu Yuanzhang was handed over to the "Literature Saint Cang Jie".
After all, [Daming Bookstore] and [Daming Daily] are of great importance, involving the communication channels between the top and the bottom.
So it’s best to have someone in charge who can handle the situation!
Among Yan Changqing's many Saint identity vests, "Wen Sheng Cang Jie's family" happens to be Wen, and he can also control the situation [so Zhu Wei asked Yan Changqing to take charge of this matter as "Wen Cang Jie Min" .
When Yan Changqing dictated these novels, he did not notice that he was still carrying the identity of "Literature Saint Cang Jie" at that time.
Although when he reacted afterwards, Yan Changqing also issued a gag order to a group of ghostwriters, strictly prohibiting them from leaking it.
And those literate craftsmen did not leak it out at that time. After all, if it were leaked, people would die.
However, although the literate craftsmen did not leak it at the time, a steward of the Palace Printing Bureau recorded the incident, and after his death, he put it in his own grave and buried it with him.
When later generations carried out protective excavations of the ancient tomb, they discovered the burial objects of the official printing bureau manager.
These include the identity tokens of the steward of the [Palace Printing Bureau], which is sufficient to prove the identity of those literate craftsmen, as well as his diary recording the matter.
Immediately, people from later generations were also in an uproar, and at the same time, it once again added a little mysterious brilliance to the "Literary Saint Cang Jie".
And this is another story.
But by the way, the two novels "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" were not dictated by Yan Changqing. (bhdi) Because both Shi Naian and Luo Guanzhong were born in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. Among them, Shi Naian was born in about the second year of Yuanzhen (1296) and died in about the third year of Hongwu (1370).
Luo Guanzhong was born in about the first year of Yuan Zhishun (1330), and died in about the second year of Jianwen (1400) in original history.
In other words, although Shi Naian died early, Luo Guanzhong is still alive and well.
After all, it is only the first year of Shengping (1390). According to the original historical records, Luo Guanzhong can live for at least another ten years.
And now with Yan Changqing's intervention, Luo Guanzhong may be able to live longer than in the original history.
Yes, Yan Changqing had face-to-face communication with Luo Guanzhong of this era. "Even Yao Guanzhong's "The Romance of the Country" was published by Yan Changqing for him!
Because after dictating a lot of novels, Yan Changqing suddenly remembered that there is still a great novelist in this era, that is, Luo Guanzhong!
Instead of laboriously dictating a lot of novels, School Disciple might as well find Luo Guanzhong and let him be responsible for writing novels for Daming Bookstore.
As Yan Changqing, one of the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty, if he wants to find someone, he can do it with just a word.
So after Yan Changqing gave his name and approximate place of birth and residence, within half a month, Jin Yiwei "invited" Luo Guanzhong to Yan Changqing.
And Yan Changqing did not waste any more nonsense. He confirmed that the Luo Guanzhong in front of him was the Luo Guanzhong who wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he was looking for.
.
In addition, most of the subsequent royalties for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and other works went to him, and he was even assigned the status of a seventh-grade manager of the Palace Printing Bureau.
Faced with the welfare benefits provided by Yan Changqing, Luo Guanzhong naturally had no right to refuse.
After all, he knew the person in front of him, but he could get Jin Yiwei to "invite" him in person.
Therefore, Luo Guanzhong took over the identity of the manager of the Palace Printing Bureau very simply and quickly, and worked hard to write various novels for the Palace Printing Bureau.
It is also worth mentioning that the tomb of the manager of the Palace Printing Bureau, which was discovered and excavated for protection by later generations, is a tomb that passes through!
Luo Guanzhong was also the person who recorded that "Literature Saint Cang Jie" was the real "author" of works such as "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Journey to the West", and "The Eight Parts of the Dragon".
After all, with Luo Guanzhong as a novelist, Yan Changqing is too lazy to find other literate craftsmen to ghostwrite. After all, the ghostwriting of other literate craftsmen is just ghostwriting.
However, Luo Guanzhong's ghostwriting can help you polish it yourself.
Therefore, Luo Guanzhong, who was in charge of the Palace Printing Bureau, naturally knew exactly which "pen names" Yan Changqing, the "literary sage Cang Jie", had used to write which novels.
As a literati and a novelist, when I hear other people praising Cao Xueqin, Wu Chengen, and Mr. Jin who wrote "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Journey to the West", "Dragon" and other works, I don't know the real "original author" "It was the time when the Cultural Revolution was hiding in bed.
He may also be a little angry, or he may be secretly happy that everyone else is drunk and I am the only one who knows that the world-famous literary saint Cang Jie is the real "original author" of these novels, or he may be out of imagination. The idea of repaying a favor.
After all, Luo Guanzhong, who was once an "enemy" with Zhu Yuanzhang, could not and did not dare to take part in the imperial examination or serve as an official. Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not know that there was such an "enemy" as Luo Guanzhong.
However, the "Literature Saint Cang Jie" gave him the status of a seventh-rank official in charge of the Palace Printing Bureau, and most of the subsequent manuscript fees went to him.
It can be said that the "Literature Saint Cang Jie" not only gave him status, but also gave him fame and fortune.
Therefore, Luo Guanzhong may have recorded the fact that the "Cultural Revolution Cang Jie" was the real "Kang author" of those novels with the intention of rectifying the name of "Literary Saint Cang Jie" thousands of years later.
And brought it to the tomb, hoping that someone would discover the truth thousands of years later.
Naturally, Yan Changqing didn't know about these things. If he knew, he just wanted to say it was unnecessary.
Continuing to return to Jin King Zhu Fan’s millions of overseas immigrants, in addition to chess games and story books, there are also serious books.
For example, the Confucian "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", and "The Thousand-Character Classic", "One Hundred Thousand Whys" written by the scientific sage Ban Heng, and "Daily Medical Briefs" written by professors and doctors from Wanmin Medical College. Common Sense", "Two or Three Things About Farming" written by students from Wanmin Agricultural College, etc.
Anyway, just staying in the cabin is idle, so you might as well take advantage of this rare free time to study hard.
After all, the people of the Ming Dynasty have basically reached the level of knowledge and culture that can read 300 core Chinese characters and 2,000 important Chinese characters.
Moreover, each ship also has Confucian civil servants, students from the Wanmin Academy of Sciences, Wanmin Medical College, Wanmin Agricultural College, etc. who understand the meaning of these books. A large number of teachers can help them solve their doubts.
What if we wait until we get to the destination and get off the ship?
These Confucian civil servants, students from the Wanmin Academy of Sciences, Wanmin Medical College, and Wanmin Agricultural College are all busy building base areas, but there is not so much free time to answer their questions.
Therefore, Jin Wang Zhu Gang would not let the common people miss this rare time to study quietly.
And it’s not that the common people don’t understand good and bad, there are people who are willing to teach them for free, and they don’t have to worry about food and clothing for the time being, as long as they study with peace of mind, so the common people are also willing to learn.
So the final daily time schedule was that after lunch, Confucian civil servants, students from the Wanmin Academy of Sciences, students from the Wanmin Medical College, and students from the Wanmin Agricultural College would take turns to teach them for half an hour.
They need to study for a total of three hours every day. In addition, they will also be allowed to rest for a quarter of an hour during each half-hour of study time. Therefore, they spend almost four hours a day studying the knowledge taught by teachers in various subjects.
For the rest of the time, whether they want to play chess, read a storybook, or do other recreational activities, as long as it does not affect the work of the navy officers, these immigrants can make their own arrangements.
In addition, every ten days or so, the Ming Navy fleet will see if it can dock at the shore for replenishment, and if it can dock for replenishment.
Then Jin King Zhu Fan would also let a group of immigrants disembark from the ship, rest on the shore for half a day, and stretch their hands and feet, so as to prevent the immigrants from staying in the cabin for a long time and getting bored.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the speed of the naval fleet of Jin King Zhu Fan who immigrated to North America was slower than the speed of the naval fleet that normally went to North America.
But relative
The good thing is that during this process, the millions of immigrants generally maintained a good mood.
There was no serious psychological problem caused by staying in a small, airtight cabin for a long time.
In addition, King Zhu Fan of Jin and others also chose to set off after mid-October, so the subsequent voyages were basically in the winter between November and December, and there were overall dangers such as typhoons.
The probability of bad sea weather is small.
So overall, this sea voyage was relatively safe and smooth, and we did not encounter any particularly large or severe sea waves during the period.
On December 22, after more than two months of ultra-long-distance sailing, King Zhu Fan of Jin and his immigration fleet finally arrived at the Bering Strait.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! I saw the Bering Strait!"
The navy sailors standing on the high watchtower immediately reported excitedly to Jin Wang Zhu Fanhui.
After hearing the sailor's report, King Zhu Fan of Jin, who was wearing a thick black cloak with brocade ermine and dragon patterns, immediately took out his telescope and looked into the distance. He looked at the Bering Strait frozen in winter and couldn't help but feel sad.
He kept saying:
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"Move towards North America and find a suitable place to anchor and disembark!!
After more than two months, he finally saw the Bering Strait. If he could no longer see the Bering Strait, he would wonder if he and others had gone astray.
