Chapter 116: Cheng Bites Jin Urges Change

"Ladies and gentlemen, the paragraph I want to tell you today, little old man, is called 'Cao Cao cooks wine and talks about heroes, Guan Gong earns money and cuts cars'." ”

In the middle of the Wuhe, Guo Dezhi stood in a conspicuous place with a spring breeze, facing the full house of guests, and started today's storytelling.

Since Wuheju was the first to start talking about the Three Kingdoms in Chang'an City, the business of the restaurant has become more and more prosperous, and there are often old customers who come to visit, in order to listen to Guo Dezhi talk about a period of Three Kingdoms.

Reading a book by yourself is not the same as listening to a book in a group.

Many of these people who came to listen to books, especially those who could afford to spend money to listen to books in Wuheju, bought "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at home and read it themselves, but they still like to listen to Guo Dezhi again.

"Cao pointed at Xuande, and then pointed to himself: The heroes of the world, only the king and the ear."

I saw that Guo Dezhi was spitting on his head when he talked about it, and the people who were close to him didn't care, but applauded!

"Look!"

"Good! One more time! ”

……

Taking advantage of the hot sales of the Three Kingdoms, Li Kuan also launched the third "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

said that it is the third part, but in fact, one is fifty or sixty thousand words, and with the length of the full text of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is impossible to finish this book without making a dozen or so parts.

However, this will make it difficult for other bookstores in Chang'an City.

During this time, people who buy books in Chang'an City first consider buying the Three Kingdoms, even if they don't buy the Three Kingdoms, they will go to Xinhua Bookstore, unless they don't have the books they want here, they will go to other bookstores.

Since it began to sell the Three Kingdoms, Xinhua Bookstore has also launched several traditional books such as "The Analects", although the sales volume cannot be compared with the Three Kingdoms, but because of the preferential price, the same sales are good.

"Shopkeeper Zheng, the printing workshop sent someone to ask, is our Three Kingdoms still printed?" Ah San stood cautiously next to the shopkeeper Zheng, three or four steps away from him, for fear of being slapped inexplicably by accident.

"Is the printing workshop still printing? How many copies have been printed? Shopkeeper Zheng felt a breath of depression in his chest surging upward, "Don't you have a brain?" We need at least four yuan to print a book, and now Xinhua Bookstore only sells 800 yuan for a book, who do you print it and sell it to? Are they all sold to you? ”

"You didn't say stop, and they didn't dare stop printing."

Ah San said in a mosquito-like voice, and he was also very aggrieved in his heart.

"Bang!" Shopkeeper Zheng picked up the teacup on the table and threw it on the ground, "I didn't say stop, don't you know how to stop?" I haven't let you eat yet, why should you eat? ”

In the face of the anger of the shopkeeper Zheng, Ah San did not dare to refute.

"I asked you to inquire about the printing workshop of the Chu Wangfu, and asked you to confirm what is the difference between the paper workshop of the Chu Wangfu, have you confirmed it clearly? The price of a pound of white paper in Xinhua Bookstore is only one percent of ours, how can you let our bookstore survive......"

Shopkeeper Zheng sprayed a cup of tea with drool, and only then did he spare Ah San.

……

"The beautiful bearded man walked thousands of miles and rode alone to Hanshou Hou, five passes and six generals. This "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is really a strange book, originally a simple story, but it was written vividly, which makes people want to stop reading it. ”

On the Suguo Mansion, Cheng Yanjin held a rare book and sat in the courtyard while enjoying the shade while watching.

"Grandpa, how many times have you read this chapter? Yesterday, you already told your daughter the story of a thousand miles of solo riding. Cheng Jingwen looked at her Lao Tzu a little speechlessly.

For the Three Kingdoms, Cheng Jingwen likes it.

However, it is far from reaching the level of Cheng Biting Jin's madness.

When he just got the third part of the Three Kingdoms, Cheng Yanjin didn't even go to duty, and watched it directly at home in one go.

And Xinhua Bookstore successively launched the first, second, and third "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which can be regarded as completely establishing its leading position in Chang'an City bookstores.

The outdated faucet of the Three Flavors Book House is already crowded!

"Jingwen, Grandpa remembers that you said before that you went to a papermaking workshop by the Weishui River?"

"That's right, I went with Sister Xueyan, that's the property of the Chu Palace."

"There is also a printing workshop next to it, which is also from the Chu Palace?"

"Grandpa, how do you know?"

Cheng Yanjin has always appeared in front of everyone with the image of Ma Daha, but if you look at history, you will find that he is a rare top military general in the Tang Dynasty who started well and never lost power.

Is this something that Mathahar can do?

The recent sale of low-priced paper and books at Xinhua Bookstore has caused a huge response in Chang'an City.

Except for the Zheng family, the nobles didn't react yet, but Cheng Yanjin seemed to see something.

"So, this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should still be written by someone in the palace of the king of Chu?"

Cheng Yanjin did not answer his daughter's rhetorical question, but continued to talk to himself.

"My daughter thinks it's very likely that it was written by His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

After saying this, Cheng Jingwen's face was inexplicably slightly red, which made Cheng Yanjin a little confused.

What Li Kuan wrote is what Li Kuan wrote, why are you blushing?

"This "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is good, but it is too uncomfortable not to sell all the books together and update one every once in a while. In this way, doesn't your brother also know the King of Chu, and when he returns home, you call him over, and Grandpa has a task for him. ”

……

In the palace of the king of Chu, Li Kuan was idle, and he was about to go to the street to stroll, but he heard a report from his subordinates that Cheng Chumo was looking for him.

"Brother Cheng, you're a rare guest!"

During this time, Li Kuan and Cheng Chumo had met together a few times, but either in Yihong Mansion, or in Tianxiang Pavilion, Chu Wangfu, Cheng Chumo was really the first time to come.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled, I came uninvited, and I didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."

Cheng Chumo was not polite to Li Kuan, sat down by himself, picked up a piece of pastry on the table and ate it.

"Oh, what is Brother Cheng looking for this king?"

Although Cheng Chumo was eating, his eyes were always staring at him, which made Li Kuan's heart a little hairy.

This guy, haven't you heard he's almost male?

""Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the masterpiece?" A surprising sentence suddenly came out of Cheng Chumo's mouth.

During this time, in fact, there were many people in Chang'an City who were speculating about who the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was, after all, no one had heard of Luo Guanzhong written on the title page.

But this book is obviously from Xinhua Bookstore, and this shop is the property of the Chu Palace.

In the name of Li Kuan's first genius in Chang'an City, writing a book like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although it is still difficult to believe, is it more reliable than Luo Guanzhong, who no one has ever heard of?

"Is it so, and isn't it?"

Li Kuan thought for a moment and looked at Cheng Chumo with a smile.

"Hehe, you say that, that's it. Hurry up and give me a copy of each of the remaining ones! My grandpa has spoken, if you don't bring back the new "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" today, you will break my legs! ”
