The Tang Dynasty was a martial country.

But this does not mean that everyone is not interested in literature, otherwise there would not be so many poems chanted by classics in later generations.

Especially after decades of development, some money has gradually become available in the pockets of the people.

As the so-called "full and warmth" thinking, after this person solved the most basic problem of food and clothing, he gradually began to pursue some other things.

Such as various novels and dramas becoming popular, it is actually a side proof.

Naturally, painting is no exception.

But for most people, painting is still a far cry from themselves.

However, this does not affect everyone's love for painting.

For example, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" contains some classic illustrations that have always been loved by everyone.

When printing news, various newspapers such as the Datang Daily also like to add some illustrations to increase the people's love for newspapers.

Now that Li Kuan and Qing'er have proposed to create a story with painting, Qing'er's eyes immediately lit up.

"Yes, it's just to use painting to tell stories one by one. Of course, since a book is mainly based on painting, the number of pictures involved in it is particularly troublesome, and printing will be very troublesome. Therefore, the paintings in this kind of story can only be expressed through simple lines and very exaggerated techniques to attract everyone's interest."

Although it was in the field, Li Kuan was excited to talk about his ideas there.

To enhance the enthusiasm of the people of the Tang Dynasty for going to sea and to let Qing'er's specialties be displayed, it is particularly important to make a Tang Dynasty version of the "One Piece" comic.

Of course, Li Kuan could not completely copy the settings in the later generations of "One Piece". For example, some strange place names, it is best to change them to names that are highly accepted by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, the children of the Tang Dynasty will be influenced by "One Piece" since childhood, and their enthusiasm for going out to sea will definitely increase a lot.

Even going out to sea will become a trend.

Whether it is based on short-term stimulation or long-term impact, vigorously promoting the "One Piece" comic is a very meaningful thing for Li Kuan.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be no such thing on the market. If you just look at the illustrations, it seems that other literati don't like it except those in Pingkangfang."

Wu Meiniang's words are true.

The little man's books these days have only one purpose.

That is the alternative representative of educational films in the island country in later generations.

"Whether it is a comic or a novel, whether you like it or not, it mainly depends on whether the story is attractive. Whether you love it or not has nothing to do with what form it is displayed. I plan to use One Piece as the theme and explore a certain overseas treasure as the main line to construct stories one by one to form comics one by one. I have even thought of the name of this series of comics, and it is called "One Piece".

"Comics? The book you mentioned using drawing to tell stories is called comics?"

It is obviously the first time Qing'er has heard of the word comics.

"Yes, comics will be an art form that everyone recognizes in the future. People use simple and exaggerated techniques to describe life or current affairs, so that everyone can feel the charm different from the words. For children like Xiao Mei, it is difficult for them to be interested in giving her a thick book.

But if it is a comic that focuses on painting, it will be different. Qing'er, if your comic is done well, you can even set up a special comic club to compete with traditional newspapers such as the Datang Daily and the Qujiang Daily, and become the favorite books that the people of the Tang Dynasty like to buy."

"Am I really possible?"

Qing'er's face was blushing, and her tone was trembling with excitement.

Obviously, Li Kuan's proposal directly touched her sensitivity.

"Qing'er, the prince said you can, you can definitely do it! If you can't be busy alone, you can also find a few girls to help you. If not, you can ask Wang Fugui to help you buy a few female slaves who can draw from outside and let them take action for you.

As for the story of the comics, just find your prince.”

Wu Meiniang also has a good impression of Qing'er, who knows how to advance and retreat.

In addition, she knew very well that Qing'er had a unique position in Li Kuan's heart, so she never really regarded her as an ordinary maid.

"Mei Niang is right. The workload of drawing comics is very large. You can be responsible for drawing the main character scenes, or directly outline the main line and let the assistant handle other branches for you. After you go back today, you go to the study with me and I will demonstrate it to you. Then you will know that drawing comics is actually very simple.

You just need to change your painting style slightly and based on your current foundation, you can create the first volume of One Piece in less than a few days. Maybe you can also hold a signing party at Xinhua Bookstore like Wen Daming."

"But Prince, don't you hope "One Piece" can become a comic that attracts everyone to go out to sea? I'm worried that this task will be ripped off by then?"

Although Qing'er was moved, she had never drawn a comic before and was still a little nervous.

As Li Kuan's personal maid, she knew very well how much Li Kuan attached to the development of overseas trade and the advancement of overseas adventures.

Now that this important publicity task is pressing on her shoulders, it is naturally under great pressure.

"No problem, I'll ask Wu Guo to help you too. Besides, even if you don't have confidence in your ability to draw, you should have confidence in the prince's level of storytelling."

After Wu Meiniang said this, Qing'er immediately smiled embarrassedly.

Yes, no one in Chang'an City dares not to admit defeat by his own storytelling skills.

Not to mention "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of the Red Chamber", the "Legend of the White Snake" that is constantly performed in the opera house has become a legend.

Basically, it will be performed at the opera house at least every year, and it will be compared with some of the later generations of "Journey to the West" and will be taken out and replayed every summer vacation.

"Let's go, let's first look at the research progress of Guanshishan Academy Agricultural College during this period. After going back, I will discuss the comics carefully. I also have to leave some time to think about how to write a pirate story and show everyone a different pirate."
