The shopkeeper of this Wenchang bookstore is the steward specially transferred back from elsewhere by Wu Ziheng, whose surname is Rongchao, who is not only good at management, but also quite knowledgeable.

At this time, I saw Yu Gaofeng take the book and ask with some apprehension, and I only felt full of ambition in my heart.

Such a nervous and hopeful expression as Yu Gaofeng, the shopkeeper Fang has seen a lot today. The shopkeeper Fang was originally engaged in pen and ink, and he also knew that these scholars had a very high opinion of themselves, and they were disdainful of those who were doing business.

But today, these students who came to Chang'an from all over the country to take the exam and consciously stood tall are willing to show a respectful attitude and ask the price carefully.

This face was given by the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the county lord of Chaoyuan! Fang Rongchao knows this very well, and also understands that the reason why these scholars and students have such an attitude is entirely because these books are unprecedentedly sophisticated in terms of binding, paper, ink, and text content.

The shopkeeper had read a lot of books before, but when he first saw these books, he was not much better than the people who came to buy books today.

What kind of amazing and brilliant person can think of this method of printing?

Especially after hearing the pricing of these books, Fang Rongchao guessed that the cost of these books would definitely not be higher than this price.

With the temperament and ability of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, how can he run a loss-making business?! And looking at the table of the Hou Ye and the county lord, it is clear that he is thinking about the rolling of wealth...... Fang Rongchao didn't let himself think about it, this matter was too surprising and incredible.

Many thoughts flashed, but Fang Rongchao still calmly and kindly replied to Yu Gaofeng: "The original price of this book is 800 ......."

"What? How much do you think it costs? Yu Gaofeng thought he had heard it wrong, could it be eight hundred taels?

"The original price is 800 ......"

"That's not it...... Are you sure it's not eight hundred taels from the shopkeeper? Yu Gaofeng didn't wait for Shopkeeper Fang to finish speaking, and couldn't help but interrupt Fang Rongchao's words again, "Is it really eight hundred Wen?" ”

Shopkeeper Fang, who still couldn't finish his words, chose to speak directly: "It's not eight hundred Wen." ”

Yu Gaofeng felt that it should be so, and said in his heart: This price sounds more reasonable...... Before this thought was finished, he heard Fang Rongchao say: "Today's bookstore opened, and the owner said that he would give the protégé of the Son of Heaven a profit of 10%, so these books, which were originally priced at 800 wen, are now priced at only 720 wen. ”

Only 720 Wen!

Even if a book with so many characters copied on the outside would have to sell for 500 wen elsewhere! And the quality can't compare to these books!

This price was heard by Yu Gaofeng as if in a dream, until the reader who heard it next to him was busy taking the book to find Fang Rongchao to pay, and like Li Meng and Wan Shi before, he himself or let people go back to get the money, Yu Gaofeng woke up like a dream, and immediately turned around to find the scholar Mingzhou who came with him, and asked him to hurry back to his cousin's house to get the silver, and he immediately paid for the book in his hand, and looked at the shopkeeper Fang stamped the seal, so he hurriedly chose other books.

If it's late, such a good book at this price will have to be snatched up!

If you can't buy your favorite book, who knows if there will be such a good opportunity in the future!

A new Wenchang bookstore has been opened in Chang'an East City, and the books sold in it are novel and generous, easy to read, and the paper ink and even writing are all excellent!

This matter was like a gust of wind, and it quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.

The readers who got the news all flocked to the East Market with the mentality that they would rather believe it, and when they saw these copies that were so good that they were completely beyond imagination, they couldn't move.

Many people were repentant, and they only hated to be suspicious when they received the news, and did not take much money to come.

As for the first to discover that this bookstore has a lot of silver on them, they are ecstatic.

Fang Rongchao had long thought that these books would sell very well, but he didn't expect that it would be such a rush to buy the situation, even if he had originally arranged five literate and clever guys to help in the bookstore, but in the face of so many scholars, he still couldn't cope with it.

At this time, the shopkeeper Fang didn't care about answering the questions of the people who bought the books at all, and he was already anxious to coordinate the order in the store.

In such a situation, although it is said that scholars care about face, and there are few thieves with bad conduct, there are still people who want to fish in troubled waters and take the sheep by hand.

Wu Ziheng had already had a countermeasure for this, and these two people were just not far from the gate of Wenchang Bookstore, and they were politely invited to the side to speak.

There are only about 10,000 copies of this batch of prints, and only three hours have passed since the opening of Wenchang Bookstore, and all the rest have been sold out except for some specially left sample volumes. Moreover, there are also readers who come over one after another, begging the shopkeeper to sell him a copy, and some have only grabbed one or two copies, and they refuse to leave, thinking that if there is a new book in the bookstore, they can buy it as soon as possible.

Fang Rongchao repeatedly explained that these are all sample books on the shelves now, not for sale, and the new book craftsmen are already in the process of printing, and it is expected that they will have to be tomorrow at the latest, and the bookstore can accept reservations, but they have to pay part of the deposit first, and these people sign the contract and pay the deposit, carefully put away the deed paper, but they are still reading in the bookstore and are reluctant to leave.

Those who come back to the back have no chance of making a reservation.

Fang Rongchao looked at the students who were still reading in Wenchang Bookstore, and did not drive them away, but asked the guy to bring the bookcase and the carpet over, so that it was convenient for these people to read, and even allowed these people to copy.

In this way, the students who read the book were grateful, and they asked Fang Rongchao about the owner of Wenchang Bookstore.

But Fang Rongchao remembered Wu Ziheng's instructions and did not answer, but just told these students to take care of the books and not to damage them.

There is an opportunity to read these good books, needless to say by Fang Rongchao, these readers also know to be careful.

Moreover, Fang Rongchao also specially gave these readers a bookmark designed by Mo Shu and painted by a painter.

This bookmark has also been circulating since this day.

Seeing that although there were more and more readers in Wenchang Bookstore, everyone was quiet and polite and well-behaved, and there was no chaos, Fang Rongchao instructed the guys in the bookstore a few words, took the money received today, and wrote a letter about the rush to buy this morning, and handed it to Lu 11 and Lu 12 in the room.

Lu Twelve took the silver money and the letter back to the villa to report the situation. This is the third trip the two of them have run today.

These hundreds of miles of urgency, if it weren't for Dawan horses, I am afraid that it would be very tiring to change to other horses.

Wu Ziheng has asked the printing workshop to speed up the printing of books, and sent the Yuan book paper transported back from Jiangnan to the printing workshop, Mo Shu received the letter from Fang Rongchao sent by Lu Twelve, as well as the silver money from the sale of books today, and asked the account room to count and make accounts for Mo Hao to consult.

Even without these silver accounts, Mo Shu could have a rough idea of the profit from selling these books this morning.

The editions of these books have been engraved, because the price of bamboo paper and ink is not high, and it is printed in large quantities, and the total cost of a book priced at 800 wen is only 30 wen at most.

Printing books for sale is really a good thing for fame and fortune. (To be continued.) )
