Chapter 103: Making a fortune
Hearing the words of understanding Jinyin, Zhu Di said: “This time, you guys have worked hard.”
Xie Jin and Hu Guang, Yang Rong, and Hu Yan said in unison, “I do not dare to claim labor.”
Zhu Di nodded: “I have heard that this time to participate in the imperial examination of Jiangxi talented people are extremely many ……”
He asked carelessly, in fact, Zhu Di, like the original Tai Zu Gao Emperor, had a few scruples about it.
Xie Jin seems to understand the emperor’s mind, but he is the chief minister of the cabinet, and at the same time, for him, he is also the leader of the scholarly community, not to mention, he is also Jiangxi people.
Xie Jin said: “Your Majesty, the imperial examinations as long as the fairness, therefore, I thought that the comparison of their talent and learning can be, as for the origin of the students, I thought that this is not something that should be concerned about.”
This statement, Zhu Di face, although the waves are not shocked, but the heart was born of revulsion.
He looked at Zhu Gaoqi and faintly said, “Does the Crown Prince think so as well?”
Zhu Gaoqi heard, the heart trembles, Xie Jin s answer is reasonable, at least Zhu Gaoqi quite agree, but …… about this matter, the Great Ancestor Gao Emperor has been criticized.
That is, in terms of ancestry, this is something that shouldn’t be said; what kind of grandchild opposes his grandfather?
What’s more, the father is the Jingdan start, when the first crime of attacking Jianwen is to say that see the smell does not comply with the ancestral system.
So Zhu Gaoqi vaguely said, “The son minister …… thought that there are quite a few points of truth.”
Zhu Di was enraged, but remained sullen and didn’t make a sound.
King Han Zhu Gaoxu then said: “Father, the son of the court does not agree, the intention of Emperor Taizu Gao set up the imperial examinations, is to collect the world’s readers, used for the court, is not my Ming but only to collect the readers in Jiangxi?”
Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoxu but didn’t say anything.
See the father’s ambiguous look, Zhu Gaoxu some discouragement, then said: “I just think …… that the law of the ancestors can not be violated, if this inside and outside the dynasty, are filled with Jiangxi’s readers, the country’s fundamental to be shaken.”
Zhu Di’s hand rested on the paperwork, still speechless.
The hall quieted down, and everyone looked at Zhu apprehensively.
At this point, no one knows what Zhu Di has in mind.
In the midst of this apprehension, finally a eunuch came in panting and said, “Your Majesty …… s list has come.”
Zhu Di sniffed, his eyes slightly closed, “Fetch it up.”
Everyone’s hearts were lifted.
Especially Zhu Gaoqi, he is very clear, if …… Xie Jinyin and others are really admitted to the Jiangxi people …… are ranked in the top of the list of the position, not only the readers to make a fuss, I’m afraid that my father will also think that he is not good at work.
Although for Zhu Gaoqi, the only thing he can do is to put an end to the fraud of the imperial examinations and take measures to let the lifters participate in this examination properly, and the rest, in fact, is not what he can sway.
Yilungha went to receive the list, then, the sheet of red paper, placed in front of Zhu Di’s imperial case.
Zhu only skimmed over it, he didn’t care about the directory that was listed at the back.
Only from 10th place onwards and upwards.
Zhang Xi …… is a native of Yichun, Jiangxi Province.
Huang Jianzheng …… Suzhou.
On the Tribute Court’s side, it was thoughtful to include the candidate’s place of origin.
Zhu showed his impatience and continued to look up.
Yang Xiang …… from Taihe, Jiangxi Province.
Zhou Mengqi …… is a native of Jishui County, Jiangxi Province.
Zhou Shu …… is a native of Jishui County, Jiangxi Province.
Zeng Kai …… was born in Jishui County, Jiangxi Province.
As his eyes fell on this, a cold color swept across Zhu’s face.
The eyes seemed to glitter with sharpness.
For a split second, Zhu’s eyes fixed on the first name.
Gu Xingzu …… is a native of Daxing County, North Zhili.
Zhu’s face turned violently odd.
He stared at the name Gu Xingzu with a deadpan look, feeling that something looked familiar.
When Zhu Gaoqi saw the murderous aura that Zhu Di showed just now, his heart sank to the bottom, and he subconsciously glanced at Cu Jin and the others.
Xie Jin is calm and relaxed look, in his view, he did the right thing, the readers of the matter, the royal family people do not understand, he swung talent for the country, and there is nothing to accuse.
As for the Tai Zu Gao Emperor that …… can only lol.
Zhu Di’s gaze grew odd and suddenly said, “Who is Gu Xingzu? ”
Many in the temple were ignorant.
Only also lost his ha, “Your Majesty, it seems to be the grandson of Marquis Gu Cheng of Zhenyuan.”
Yiluoha can become the emperor’s inner circle, there are a few brushes, he may not be highly educated, but all the famous people in the capital, he knows, in order to prepare for the emperor at any time to ask questions.
Zhu Di was finally remembered and could not help but say in surprise, “Is it that disciple of Zhang Anshi?”
Yilungha said, “He is indeed studying in the Hall of Justice of the State Zi Academy, and His Majesty has appointed Zhang Anshi as a doctor, and it is also the Hall of Justice that he teaches.”
Zhu began to be dumbfounded, and the murderous aura of the party had disappeared without a trace at this time.
“Your Majesty ……” said Zhang Anshi, Xie Jin some words do not know when to speak or not.
Zhu Di looked up at Jie Jin: “Speak.”
Xie Jin said, “I actually thought …… to let Zhang Anshi teach the state school, quite improper. Zhang Anshi, after all, is a vassal after …… and a relative ……”
The state school is a holy place and should not be taught by the descendants of martial artists.
This is also the purpose of Xie Jin and others.
When Hu Yan heard this, he was ashamed in his heart, in fact, he knew that these words should be said by him.
Zhu Di, however, gave an odd look at Dajin and said, “Is that so?”
After only these two words, Zhu didn’t say anything.
See His Majesty did not say, Xie Jin then said again: “This is only my humble opinion, just think the country to use people, should choose their talent, selecting the virtuous and capable ……”
Zhu Di said, “I know.”
Zhu said he knew, but then suspiciously looked down at the list.
The hefty three words Gu Xingzu were still there.
Zhu Di couldn’t help but silently say in his heart, “Gu Cheng is a blessed man.”
Then, Zhu Di looked up at Jie Jin: “You just talked about selecting the virtuous and employing the capable?”
“Yes.” Xie Jinyin said stiffly: “The court is divided into civil and military, the civil and military are divided into positions, the generals and ministers are different, I think …… Zhang Anshi may not be suitable for this position, why doesn’t your majesty order him to be in the army ……”
Zhu nodded, but said, “What are the duties of a doctor?”
Xie Jinyin said, “The duty of a doctor is naturally …… to teach and solve puzzles.”
“What makes a doctor competent?”
“Of course it’s peachy.”
Zhu Di nodded again, and then asked, “Then has Xie Qingjia peaches and plums filled the world?”
Xie Jin busily said, “I …… am ashamed of …… my …… minister ……”
Zhu Di lamented, “Do you know who is the first Huiyuan in the current section of the examination?”
Xie Jin said, “I …… don’t know.”
Zhu sighed, “It’s Gu Xingzu ……”
The hall went quiet for a moment when that name came out.
But the restrained Zhu Gaoqi almost jumped up, “Father, it’s that Gu Xingzu from the Gu Zi Academy?”
“This …… this ……” Xie Jin was a little confused.
Zhu Di said, “Why, does Secretary Xie seem to have doubts?”
“Chen …… Chen …… thought …… that it could be a mistake?” Xie Jin seemed a bit unable to accept it for a moment.
Zhu Di smiled and said, “Even if it is a mistake. That is also the solution to the Secretary’s mistake. You are the examiner, the day presided over the examination is you, after reading the paper is also you, is also the solution of the Secretary personally circled out of the meeting of the yuan, if there is a mistake, then it is really the examiner is unfair, I’m afraid that I’m the first to be extinguished the solution of the Secretary’s family of three clans.”
It must be said that Zhu used the gentlest words to say the most ruthless words.
Xie Jin heard, the heart is terrified, at this time there is no word of defense, busy is prostrate and bowed down and said: “I have no shape, before the king, ten thousand deaths.”
On the contrary, Zhu Di, really feel the heart has been mentioning a big stone, at this time finally suddenly landed, can not help but move to say: “will be yuan is actually the North Zhili people, then …… readers should not make a fuss, is to block the world’s mouth.”
Immediately, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoqi, with an approving gaze, “Prince these days, presiding over the imperial examinations, really hard, I heard that you exhausted yourself for this, people also thinned a lot.”
Zhu Gaoqi heart is already rising a warm current, of course, he is now full of questions, Gu Xingzu …… that guy …… how he became a Huiyuan?
He couldn’t think straight.
In fact, the hearts of everyone here were also puzzled, as well as shocked.
So much so that everyone was speechless.
Zhu Gaoqi said, “My son can share my father’s worries and fulfill the filial piety of a human son and the loyalty of a human subject, and I am already as happy as I can be.”
After saying that, Zhu Gaoqi bowed down.
Zhu Di is now really happy, open bad laugh: “Interesting, interesting, today this thing, especially interesting, you see …… this Gu Xingzu …… really did not dishonor their ancestors, and his teacher Zhang Anshi, this Dr. Very competent, it is no wonder, no wonder ……”
Saying that, Zhu Di’s eyes looked toward Hu Yan.
Hu Yan dodged and his body began to quietly move behind the taller Yang Rong.
Zhu’s gaze trailed off again.
Hu Yan can’t avoid it.
“Secretary Hu Yan.” Zhu said with a smile.
Hu Yan was shocked and a little apprehensive as he stepped out of the class, “I am here.”
“Hu Secretary’s eyes like a torch, hard work ah. If not Hu Qingjia recommended this Zhang Anshi, I did not expect, Zhang Anshi is really learned five cars. From now on, I still believe that I will be suspicious, and now I realize that Hu Qingjia’s good intentions.”
Hu Yan: “……”
“Why didn’t Secretary Hu say anything?”
“I am …… ashamed.”
Zhu Di laughed: “The shame is not Hu Qing, is some have eyes without pearls of people, everyone said Zhang Anshi is not suitable to do this doctor, only Hu Qingjia recommended, if it is Hu Qingjia are ashamed, then this full of civil and military, will not be ashamed of the death?”
Hu Yan: “……”
Zhu Di and rejoiced: “Thanks to this Gu Xingzu fight, so, think of the world’s readers, and then will not complain, of course,…… Zhang Anshi is also a great credit, Gu Xingzu is the will be yuan, then Zhang Anshi is a famous teacher, master teacher out of the high student!”
At this point, many people’s hearts are very bad taste, but what else can be said? They could only follow the emperor’s words and say, “Congratulations, Your Majesty.”
Zhu Di cheerfully said, “Taizu high emperor can not solve things, Jianwen that boy …… is more this will be done in a muddle, but to my ascension to the throne, it will be easy, can make the world of readers excited, haha, I rule the world with the text … . the effect has been the first signs of the end.”
This is actually a very shameless remark. It is obvious that he is a martial artist, but he claims to be a civil ruler.
Of course, in fact, this is also a daily operation, the so-called lack of what to make up for what! Historically, Zhu Di’s posthumous title is Emperor Wen.
Finally, the ministers dispersed.
Xie Jin several people, still a face of consternation, all the way to the Wen Yuan Pavilion, Xie Jin could not help but say: “That a grammar of the surprising volume, is Gu Xingzu?”
Hu Guang was also greatly surprised, “I really didn’t think that Gu Cheng, this grandson, would be able to make such an article.”
Yang Rong was in the back, silent for a long time.
Obviously, at this time Xie Jin is very unhappy, although this time the Jishui County readers, has occupied the second to the fourth place, since then on the list of candidates is also especially much, do not dare to say that occupies half of the wall, but at least one of the two or one of the ten.
Two out of ten is a scary concept, after all, Jishui is just a county.
If you counted the people on the list from the entire Jiangxi Province, it would be even more terrifying.
But Xie Jin still for the Huiyuan is not their own preferred Zeng Kai, Zhou Shu, Zhou Mengqi a few people and regret.
“Lords …… Lords ……”
At the back, Hu Yan caught up with him at a brisk pace.
Upon hearing his voice, Xie Jin hastened his steps.
Hu Guang and Yang Rong looked at each other and couldn’t help but shake their heads and laugh bitterly, but they stopped.
Hu Yan panting to catch up, but insight Jinyin has gone away, a face of regret, and then looked to Hu Guang and Yang Rong, bowed and saluted: “Hey …… hey …… misunderstanding ah, heavenly misunderstanding, at first ……”
Before Hu Yan could finish his sentence, Hu Guang smiled in a slight way, “Lord Hu Yan doesn’t have to be like this.”
“This is not explained, will I not …… become a generation of curiosity?” Hu Yan smiled bitterly.
Yang Rong said, “How many things in the world can be said?”
Hu Yan and show regret, in fact, he wanted to explain to Xie Jin, on the one hand, Xie Jin is the first minister, on the other hand, but Xie Jin and his deepest friendship.
But now see Jie Jin heard his call, but ignored, and even long gone, the heart only futile.
He hung his head and said, “For a while, may not be able to explain, why don’t we turn around and ask the second public to mobilize the solution of the maester to my house together, we, as in the old days, warm up a pot of old wine, talk about it in detail.”
Hu Guang smiled and said, “We are willing to go and nag, but I am afraid that Xie Gong he …… will not be able to do it.”
Yang Rong said: “Mr. Hu Yan, as long as you have no shame in your heart, why should you be afraid of people’s words? Furthermore, I think this Zhang Anshi is really a wonderful person, we can’t judge people by their appearance, look, isn’t he a very competent doctor? And what is there to criticize?”
Hu Yan: “……”
Hu Yan had to wave his hand, “Be taught.”
He said, and left in disgust.
…………
On the other end, such as bystanders are gone, Zhu Di was so happy that he couldn’t help but slap the case and shouted: “Into his mother’s, this Zhang Anshi …… is really a pig can be transformed into a miracle, this guy …… did not think it is really a great Confucian. ”
Yilostha lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhu Di both excited and excitedly said, “also lost ha, you come to see, will be Yuan Gu Xingzu, haha, Gu Xingzu really give me these old brothers to fight ah, who says that this readers, must be those corrupt Confucian?”
Yiluoha then smiled and said, “Your Majesty is right.”
Happy to be happy, Zhu Di still thought of something, so he said, “Go and inquire, what is Zhang Anshi doing now? And then inquire outside, how do those readers respond?”
“Yes.”
It only took a moment to inquire.
Also lost ha Rao reported: “At first there are people called unfair, said Zhang Anshi is the crown prince’s wife brother, must be leaking the question, who knows Zhang Anshi actually teach Gu Xingzu in the Tribute House outside in the moment to do the question, that Gu Xingzu is also powerful, waving ink, directly write an article, for people to praise, so the readers will be sighing with admiration, and then do not dare to call a sentence of unfairness.”
Zhu Di couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “This kind of thing, only that Zhang Anshi fellow can do it.”
Then, unable to resist his interest, he pursued, “And after that?”
“After that Zhang Anshi took those little brothers of his, and Gu Xingzu along with him, and went away, but left a message saying that he had written a book called something like Zhang Anshi’s Eight Gu Gu Penshi.”
Zhu frowned, “Damn, he even wrote a book now. Those corrupt scholars, they must hate their teeth.”
Also lost ha laughed: “This is not, but ah, slave girl heard …… these readers, all swarmed to go to the book store.”
Zhu was shocked when he heard, “To the bookstore?”
“Going to buy books ah, all the major bookstores, are very busy it, even heard that some places, there is a long line.”
Zhu Di s face turned odd and said, “Those readers …… they are not pedantic at all, they really do anything.”
Also lost Ha then followed the words of Zhu Di said: “Your Majesty, the readers in other places pedantic, but in the head of this eight-unit examination, but everyone is very smart, this is their life, high school, is the carp leaps over the Dragon Gate, one day, become a person on the people, which if it is the name of the Sun Yat-sen, that is, ten years of hard work, are all wasted, everything is in vain. ”
Zhu Di nodded: “This is also true, selling books …… this Zhang Anshi, in the end he is teaching apprentices, or running to sell books. No, I …… have to go out to go, such a scene, I do not look at it, not willing.”
“Ah ……”
Zhu said anxiously, “What are you waiting for, hurry up!”
Yiluoha did not dare to be slow since, and quickly said, “Yes.”
………………
The news can be delivered very quickly, and at this time, the entire streets and alleys of Nanjing City went crazy.
At first it was a part of the reading public that suddenly rushed toward the bookstore.
Then it was more and more people who headed for the bookstore with suspicion.
This is actually understandable.
In the past, Gu Xingzu such a person …… based on learning alone, even a Xiucai, may not look at it.
But can you not be curious that such a person could win the Kaiwon?
And it’s so amazing that this man composes on the spot, divinely.
That sentence of Zhang Anshi’s left a deep impression.
So a lot of people got up their minds, even Gu Xingzu such a waste can, then …… why can not I?
Even Tsang Kai three, also can not help but get up curiosity, they have been golden list, in any case, is also considered a happy event, but it is a pity that …… the heart is still left with regrets.
They wanted to see what Zhang Anshi and Gu Xingzu were up to.
So a few people together close to a bookstore, here is already surrounded by a lot of people, and can even hear the front of the readers cursing under his breath: “Zhang Anshi is not a person, inappropriate son of man.”
Another person cursed, “This person has a black heart and must be a great traitor.”
It was hardly Tsang’s turn, and Tsang said, “Let’s have a book ……”
His words have not yet finished, the bookstore fellows will be smiling and said: “Do not need to ask, I know, and is to buy Zhang Anshi eight shares of the pen talk, to …… a book of three taels of silver, hurry hurry hurry, there are still people waiting for it after.”
Tsang Kai’s face turned green.
That’s pretty dark.
Three taels of silver is already a year’s savings for many people in the unusual.
Of course, for the vast majority of readers, it’s actually nothing, in this day and age who dares to study, who doesn’t have hundreds or thousands of acres of land?
Thinking that he was already in high school, Zeng Kai gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll take one.”
Bought a book, then simply stood on the side of the road to read, not yet read the content of this book, I heard around the same bought the book again people cursed: “Zhang Anshi he is not a person, pigs and dogs are worse than, he lacks virtue ah.”
Mr. Tsang Kai thought it was very strange. He cursed before he bought it, but that was because it was indeed black-hearted for someone to buy a book for three taels of silver, but it was a bit unseemly for you to curse after you had bought it.
Ai, the world is in a bad shape, people are not in the right place, even the readers have no manners anymore.
But when Mr. Tsang Kai opened the book cover and took a look, he actually changed color immediately and could not help but say, “Zhang Anshi is brazen and inhuman!”
But the paper in this book is almost straw paper.
It’s just as well that it’s straw paper, and the ink used to print it is of average quality, so much so that many of the words are muddled up and require extreme care to be legible.
Three taels of silver and you’re selling me this?
What’s more disgusting is that many of the pages of this book are glued together, so you have to turn the page, subconsciously, you can’t help but dab at the saliva and then take your finger to turn it, but this time, your wet finger will stick through the poor paper on the previous page.
This book …… is, after all, disposable!
Once you’ve flipped through it, and then tried to go back and read it again, a lot of the writing in it is unreadable.
This is three taels of silver ah, three taels ……
Zeng Kai almost suffocated, he had to go through this book in detail, just …… soon he realized that the summary of the eight shares in this book was actually something he had never thought of in the past.
Insiders look at the doorway, and if an outsider were to look at these, they might just think they’re skywriting.
But in the eyes of a scholar, even Mr. Tsang Kai was amazed at what was recorded there: “This is possible? This is possible?”
Sure enough, many of the readers who were reading the book on the sidelines, after cursing, gradually stopped cursing, and at this time, they all forgot to read word by word, digesting many of the ideas in this book.
This is like a crash course textbook!
Directly after roughly deconstructing the eight stocks, the shortest way to achieve the purpose of composing eight-stock essays is adopted.
Tsang Kai was alarmed, and the more he looked at it, the more alarmed he felt.
But soon, someone else on the side cursed, “Zhang Anshi, he is not a human being, he will be reincarnated in the animal path in his next life, my God, how can a human being be so brazen and shameless.”
Hear the howl.
Another pang of suspicion ran through Zeng Kai’s mind.
Isn’t it a great book? It’s very useful!
He even felt that if he had gotten the book earlier …… perhaps ……
A hint of pride flashed in his eyes, perhaps that Gu Xingzu would be no match for him at all.
Such a book …… if it is really helpful to the imperial examinations, even if three taels of silver, the paper is inferior to some, what is wrong with it?
With this thought in his mind, he continued to leaf through it in his hands.
As a result …… the more you flip through, a bad feeling began to appear in your heart.
The book is thin ……
It’s really thin.
After forty pages or so, it was gone.
It’s fine if it’s gone.
After all, it is understandable that soldiers are more expensive than soldiers.
As a result, Tsang Kai found …… the book was actually only written in one section.
On the back spine, a line reads, “To find out what happens afterward, listen to the next lecture, and stay tuned for the second edition to go on sale at the beginning of the coming spring.”
Zeng Kai’s mind was reeling.
A blank slate.
Then he became enraged and cursed, “Pigs and dogs, really pigs and dogs!”
He was extremely intelligent and understood at once.
This thing is helpful to read for a cut, but it doesn’t seem like it’s a big fucking help.
The most important thing is that the beginning of the spring of the next year, please look forward to, may be the essence of the second edition, and the beginning of the spring of the next year, it is the provincial courtyard examination, I am afraid that a lot of Xiu Cai, to start the examination of the lifter.
At that point, with exams approaching, who wouldn’t want to find a book to add a little boost?
Isn’t it obvious that you’re being forced to buy it?
If you don’t buy the second edition, someone else does, and the Lifted Master is theirs.
Black, too black.
What shocked Mr. Tsang even more was that there was a thoughtful reminder on the top: “To give back to our book lovers, those who hold the first edition of the book will be given priority to buy the second edition.”
What’s that supposed to mean?
It means …… that you can t borrow a book, and you can t look at people s transcriptions, you have to have the original edition in order to take the second edition in the first place before the upcoming exam in the spring and to start reviewing your homework early to prepare for the sprint for the hospital exam.
And Tsang Kai definitely suspected that with this Chang An-shi’s character, even the second edition was probably just a small cut, hell, he didn’t know how many more editions were to follow.
This is taking the readers to death.
Zeng Kai lowered his head, looked at the book, and realized …… that his three taels of silver were gone.
He intends to turn back and flip, but then he found …… that the book paper is too inferior, and in the process of flipping, and because of his own flip book finger wetting, the paper broke a lot, and the ink is also exuded, paste.
This is really a one-time thing.
It can only be viewed once.
So much so that by this time, it was no longer possible for someone to make a transcription, or lend it to someone else to read.
The only thing this book is good for now is to collect it and wait for the second edition to come out and take this book cover to order the second edition early.
Three taels of silver are …… gone.
Tsang Kai is still civilized.
Already many of the readers on the side have started to go crazy: “I will not share the same fate as the Zhang traitors!”
“There’s me without him, there’s him without me.”
“Poke the big wooden lady!”
“This squaw is bad.”
“Day this little brat!”
There was a moment of cursing.
But …… although the whole city is cursing, the people who are anxious to buy books are still in a constant stream.
It is not only the graduates who have lost their younger brothers, but also many Xiu Cai, as well as child students, who have heard the news.
Readers can buckle down elsewhere, but they can’t afford not to buy books.
What’s more, if everyone became Gu Xingzu, then wouldn’t all one’s hard work and not going to read this book be in vain?
Booksellers are smiling, because the book is extremely expensive, but the sales are excellent, as long as the goods arrive, without a moment, will be sold immediately.
The booksellers laughed even harder as they looked at the screaming readers.
“Brother Zeng …… Zeng …… this son ……” At that moment, Yang Xiang happened to encounter Zeng Kai and squeezed over.
Zeng Kai gave Yang Xiang an odd look, “You bought it too?”
Yang Xiang nodded with a resigned face and said, “Yes.”
Tsang Kai: “……”
Yang Xiang beat his chest and continued, “When I think of this son relying on us to earn so much black hearted money, I am unwilling, unwilling ah, this country’s traitors also, the heavens will kill!”
Zeng Kai said calmly, “Then for the next book, don’t fall for it.”
Yang Xiang had an odd look on his face, “It’s still necessary to buy it, even though it’s already in high school, but my second brother is going to participate in the courtyard examination in the coming year.”
The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, and for a moment they couldn’t help but hang their heads, both of them not squeaking.
NJC is completely sold out of books.
Meanwhile, in Zhenjiang, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Nantong Prefecture, a large number of books were shipped as early as a dozen days ago.
Of course, the news of Nanjing has not yet passed, so the sales have not started yet, but once the news passes, I’m afraid that the sales boom will start everywhere at the same time.
Zhu Di at …… this time is in civilian clothes, he is sitting in a tea house opposite a certain bookstore, in the position of the window.
He looked oddly at the group of readers on the street who were eager to purchase books and almost caught in the act of breaking into a rage.
Crying and laughing.
Zhu has felt that he is considered a rough man, but in front of these readers, but found that he is also quite elegant, after all, he only into people’s mother, not so many varied means.
“Your Majesty.”
At this time, also lost ha panting rushed in, came to Zhu Di’s ear, whispered: “inquired about, a book of three taels of silver.”
“How much?” Zhu sucked in a breath of cool air, he was a bit unable to sit still.
“Three taels.”
“He might as well go and rob it.” Zhu couldn’t help but say.
“Can sell too hot.” Yilungha said, “This bookstore alone that the slave girl saw, in just half an hour, more than seven hundred copies were sold, and I heard that all the bookstores in the whole city, all of them, are now urging to be stocked.”
Zhu Di’s heart suddenly, there is a kind of cloudy feeling: “No wonder, no wonder. If I were one of those readers, I would only be afraid to curse. It’s really dark, this Zhang Anshi doesn’t do good things!”
Also lost ha whispered: “I heard …… that at first there are people who want to transcribe out to sell money, but it is rumored that there is a second edition, you have to take the first edition to get priority ordering, the second edition of the on sale date is in the coming year when the courtyard examination will be close. There …… is also …… this book read once …… then can not read. Some people read it in a hurry, and now they are screaming and having to rush to buy another copy.”
“And …… I heard that the pages …… were of extremely low quality, not even as good as grass paper ……”
“I also heard …… that Zhang Anshi went into hiding, saying that he was afraid of being hated.”
Chu: “……”
After an old half-day, Zhu shot up, “Into the motherfucker!”
Zhu Di was anxious: “This guy …… is really black hearted.”
Also lost ha smilingly said, “The slave girl also do not know what to say ……”
Zhu Di hummed, “If I were one of those readers, I would have to strangle him.”
Also Lostha dry laughed: “Heh ……”
Zhu Di then said, “Let the brocade guards go to find, will find him, tell Ji Gang …… to let people keep an eye on a little, don t really let there are small-minded people, hurt him. I will be here waiting for him.”
Yiluoha quickly nodded, “The slave servant obeys the decree.”
“And slow.” Zhu Di’s gaze was haunted, pondering for a moment, then he said word for word, “Tell Ji Gang that he can only protect, not pry.”
Yilungha gave Zhu a meaningful look and said, “Yes.”
