Chapter 149 Don’t Talk About State Affairs

In 1982, the Peking University Library did not have the reading environment that would be considered "luxury" in later generations, but at certain times, it was just as hard to get a seat.

Students who can be admitted to Peking University have high IQ and hard work. Only those extremely talented and extraordinary people can give full play to themselves.

The rest will be swept up in the good atmosphere and continue to work hard.

Li Ye is quite special. He is a monster, but he disguises himself as a hardworking and good student.

After night fell, Li Ye and Wen Leyu occupied two prime seats, sitting quietly opposite each other, each holding a book and reading carefully.

Li Ye was reading James Tobin's "National Economic Policy".

This guy just won the Nobel Prize in Economics last year. In class today, Professor Zhang mentioned several of his economics books and also mentioned a core idea of ​​this guy - don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Li Ye thought this sentence sounded familiar, so he came over to look it up, but he only found this one book.

After reading for a long time, I can only say that it is very difficult. Li Ye's professional knowledge reserves are still too little. He can understand the things in the textbook at a glance, but when it comes to books like this, I can only say that he still needs to work hard.

Li Ye wanted to give up at one point, but when he looked at the Peking University students around him, which one of them was not frowning and gritting their teeth while studying?

In the end, the evildoer could only emulate his hard-working classmates and force himself to make progress.

Wen Leyu, who was sitting opposite Li Ye, was much more relaxed.

She was reading an English novel. Their English majors not only require them to learn the language, but also foreign literature and art, so the girl openly became a fan of English novels.

Although the original English novels are difficult to read, the girl has been studying with Teacher Ke for a long time. Apart from occasionally flipping through the dictionary, she can be said to be very proficient at it and she also secretly does some small things from time to time.

She glanced at Li Ye and found that he was studying hard with his head down, so she put one little hand on the table and, like a crawling Tom cat, approached a lunch box in the middle of the desk.

The lunch box contained snacks and fruits brought by Li Ye.

Because the food in the cafeteria was so-so, Wen Leyu's appetite had decreased recently. Li Ye, who was devoted to "scientific feeding", formulated a strict diet plan for her.

Low in fat, low in sugar, and high in nutrition, but the little girl has a deep obsession with sweets.

So every time Li Ye brought snacks, she would quietly eat up the sweetest ones, leaving the less sweet ones for Li Ye, and then generously push them to Li Ye: "You eat it, I'll just have a little."

Wen Leyu is not being greedy on purpose. Given her current conditions and the compensatory love that Teacher Ke gives her, is there anything she can't eat?

She had only started to get used to Li Ye's "feeding" last winter. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but the little girl always felt that the food she ate tasted different.

Li Ye kept his head down reading, but he glanced up and saw Wen Leyu's movements clearly.

Actually! These were originally prepared by Li Ye for her. The little girl has really started to grow again, so she can’t let her little body suffer, and she can’t let it grow crooked!

"Brother Li Ye, Brother Li Ye, I finally found you."

Li Huaisheng, a student of ancient literature level 80, hurried over from a distance, startling Wen Leyu who had just "succeeded".

Wen Leyu had just put a few grapes into his mouth, and hadn't chewed them thoroughly yet before spitting out the seeds. His mouth was bulging like a hamster's.

She couldn't let Li Ye see this, so she could only swallow it quickly, choking painfully.

The girl was unhappy. She looked angrily at the reckless Li Huaisheng. She did not have a good face towards this senior who was already a junior.

Don’t you know that I am busy reading at night? Don’t you know that I am spending time alone with my friends?

Hate.

But Li Huaisheng didn't notice Wen Leyu's displeasure at all. He walked to Li Ye and patted the shoulder of a freshman next to him.

"Classmate, please give up your seat. I have something urgent to discuss with this brother."

The student next to him was a freshman. When he saw Li Huaisheng's "old student" behavior, he was frightened and gave up his seat and left.

Li Ye looked at the impatient Li Huaisheng and asked with a smile: "Why are you looking for me so urgently? Is there something good?"

"You are right, little brother. There is indeed something good going on."

Li Huaisheng took out two magazines, turned to one of the pages, and placed it in front of Li Ye like a treasure.

"I found a very good novel. If you read it, you will understand why I am in such a hurry to find you."

Li Ye looked down and his expression turned strange.

Wen Leyu also straightened his body, stretched his little head to look over here, and then the corners of his mouth curved up.

These are two copies of the "New Wind" monthly magazine published by the Island City Blue Ocean Publishing House. Li Ye is very familiar with them.

The page that Li Huaisheng opened was the first chapter of "The North Wind Flying" - The Xiliang Legion.

Li Ye asked in a low voice, "You came to me in such a hurry just to let me read this novel?"

"Tsk~"

Li Huaisheng sighed and said, "Take a look first! This novel completely complies with the various viewpoints you discussed with us the other day, and promotes the history and culture of our Shenzhou."

Isn't that nonsense? I wrote it.

When Li Ye was talking with Li Huaisheng, Yang Yumin and others, he unnaturally expressed the same view as Dong Jinbu.

After all, some of them studied ancient literature and another studied history, so they had a more thorough understanding of China's profound heritage.

Because of this, Li Huaisheng, Yang Yumin and others regarded Li Ye as their "little brother".

Li Ye also inadvertently instilled in them some writing characteristics of historical novels during the conversation.

It's very difficult to tell them about fantasy!

Although there were great writers of immortal novels such as Huanzhu Louzhu during the Republic of China, if Li Ye were to explain to them from beginning to end how to practice Qi, build a foundation, and how a woman is three thousand years older than she is, there might be arguments.

The debate atmosphere at Kyoto University is not very good. Once an argument starts, it is possible that people will become enemies.

"Take a look, take a look, I'll tell you after you've finished looking." Li Huaisheng kept urging Li Ye.

"Brother Huaisheng, I've read this novel. It's pretty well written, and not as weird as you say."

Li Ye could only be modest, as boasting was not in his nature.

But Li Huaisheng was obviously stunned, and after a few seconds, his excitement turned into displeasure.

"Little brother, you have seen it, why don't you share it with us?"

Li Ye had no choice but to explain: "Aren't you guys writing martial arts novels? Isn't this book "North Wind Flying" of the same style as yours?"

"Oh, you you."

Li Huaisheng became anxious again and said, "You are still too young to see the essence of things. This kind of novel that requires historical knowledge is our strong point!"

Li Huaisheng waved his arm and swept across the library of Peking University.

"Here, we have the richest and best historical database in the country, as well as countless teachers and students studying history. If we write novels of this genre, we will definitely be able to better promote the history of China."

Although he could not fully agree with Li Huaisheng's point of view, he also admitted that what he said made sense.

As a comprehensive library with one of the largest collections of books in the country, it is truly a blessing for Peking University students. Using it to support a historical novel is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"Stop making so much noise, or you two will get out!"

A sharp shout directly stifled the excited Li Huaisheng, making him lose all his temper.

The administrator of the Peking University Library has a well-deserved reputation.

Li Huaisheng grabbed Li Ye's arm and said, "Come on, let's go out and talk. We have to talk all night.

I think the writing technique you mentioned is somewhat similar to that seven-inch blade. Although it is a little immature compared to the other one, they can complement each other.

Li Ye couldn't resist Li Huaisheng's pull and had to leave with him.

There is no way! Li Huaisheng is already a junior, and will soon graduate and be assigned a job. In ten years, he might be a small boss. You can't afford to offend him.

Before leaving, Li Ye said to Wen Leyu: "I'll go talk to them first, and I'll come back to pick you up later!"

Wen Leyu smiled and nodded, stretched out a bent finger, and said concisely: "Nine o'clock."

"Okay, I'll pick you up at nine."

Li Ye and Wen Leyu are now in the early stages of love, secretly holding hands and occasionally dancing together. They are so affectionate and entangled with each other, and the feeling is much more exciting than that of an old married couple. Maybe just an unintentional light touch will make their mood rippling and their faces blushing.

Therefore, nine to nine-thirty is the fixed walking time for the two of them. Unless there is something important, no one can interrupt this subtle attachment between the two.

After Li Ye and Li Huaisheng left, the cold and indifferent Wen Leyu squinted his eyes and laughed silently, and his laughter became louder and louder. Although there was no sound, he looked as cute as a big cat that had taken catnip.

At the end, her little body was still swaying in the chair, moving up and down like a rocking chair.

"I am dying of laughter. I am dying of laughter at your immaturity."

. . . . . .

Li Huaisheng pulled Li Ye to their junior activity room, where Yang Yumin and others were already busy.

A pile of history books was placed on the table. Some were looking up information, while others were making outlines. They were as excited as a group of pirates busy moving food and supplies onto the Black Pearl, preparing to go out to sea in search of treasure.

Seeing Li Ye coming, Yang Yumin was also happy and said: "Little brother is here, welcome to join our creative team. With your joining, we will definitely be able to make a big hit this time and get the royalties."

"What's the point of paying for the article?" Li Huaisheng said with a dark face. "It's to promote Chinese culture and publicize the historical heritage of our great country."

"It's all the same,"

Seeing Yang Yumin looking a little embarrassed, Li Ye immediately joked: "Any excellent literary work has corresponding economic value. After everyone recognizes its literary value, the economic value will naturally come with it."

"Hey, you see, people who study economics have sharp minds, unlike you, Li Huaisheng, who is so aloof and acts like an old scholar."

"Go away," Li Huaisheng said disdainfully, "Li Ye has already read "North Wind Flying", everyone come over and analyze together which period of the story we should write about."

Several people came over and expressed their opinions.

"I think it's a good idea to write a historical story about the Qin Dynasty, when the whole country was unified."

"I think we should write about the Han people. Anyone who offends the Han people will be punished no matter how far away they are. Just listening to this will boost your morale."

There are many different opinions, and several people's proposals have their own reasons and insights.

Finally it was Li Ye's turn.

Li Ye thought for a while and said, "Actually, I think we should write about the Tang Dynasty! Because everyone has always been inclined to popular literature, then we need to consider the market audience, that is, how many readers like to read similar stories.

"The Wind Rises" has proved that the theme of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty is feasible, and the time span of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty is very long. Everyone can write the story of a lone soldier in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Ye gave everyone an analysis from the perspective of the commercialization of literary works, which inspired everyone.

"Little brother, you insist! Go ahead, go ahead."

Yang Yumin nodded repeatedly and said, "Li Ye, you are indeed from the Economics Department. We have never analyzed the problem from this perspective. We have really benefited a lot from it."

Li Ye continued: "In fact, China has a history of 5,000 years, and there are many stories to be written about, but why did this novel "North Wind Flying" receive so many good reviews?"

"It is the spirit of indomitable spirit," Li Ye said with some self-importance, "Even with internal and external troubles, the warriors of the Tang Dynasty have never been afraid of strong enemies.

Being weak against the strong, and not regretting even if you die, don’t you think this corresponds to reality? After reading the novel, do you resonate with it? "

Li Huaisheng, Yang Yumin and others were all stunned. After thinking about it carefully, they realized that it was indeed the case.

For decades, China has faced internal and external troubles. Has it not been fearless?

If literary works want to gain recognition from readers, writing skills are the foundation, and ideological resonance is also important.

Otherwise, why has scar literature become so popular during this period?

Seeing that everyone was moved, Li Ye threw out a few words again.

"After the Tang army was cut off from Chang'an, it kept the Tang flag in the Western Regions for several decades. You can find historical evidence for this.

In addition, you can write the ending of this story as the Tang army's defeat and integration into the Western Regions, or you can write it as the lone Tang army returning home thousands of miles away, back to Chang'an."

Li Huaisheng and others were thoughtful, considering the feasibility of Li Ye's proposal.

But Yang Yumin suddenly looked up and asked Li Ye: "Li Ye, do you mean to return from the other side of the reflection sea?"

Li Ye quickly smiled and waved his hands, saying, "I didn't say that! Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs. I'm small, don't get involved with me."

“.”

Li Huaisheng and others looked at Li Ye in silence for a long time.

Finally, Yang Yumin insisted: "Just write about this topic, and you, Li Ye, must sign your name."

"Yes, let's create together, and take the little brother with us."

"What do you mean by bring? Little brother, you must have it!"

“.”

Li Ye was caught off guard and was shocked and astonished.

Let Seven-Inch Blade sign it? Wouldn't that be a direct recommendation and endorsement to you?
