Of course, things are in an uproar, how can it be said that you can forget it. \, 0М/ In Fanzhou, the most discussed situation is of course the situation of the Xiling Seal Society, however, there is an undercurrent in the officialdom.

After more than half a year in office, Chu Zhen has always been in the limelight, and has become the focus of attention several times, and the most popular evaluation is for the official integrity. He loves the people like a son, is gentle and elegant, and is a humble gentleman, however, in the light of rave reviews, there will definitely be a little bit of discord.

Behind the sun, there is always a shadow, and Chu Zhen, who has systematically studied logic, dialectics, contradictory unity theory and other philosophical thoughts, naturally understands this truth, so he is very calm.

"My lord, why are you still drinking tea?" Liu Renzhi was anxious, and he had been in the official office for more than 20 years, and he saw some things very openly. But I understand more clearly what it means to be in the middle of all mouths.

A silver stream hung straight down from mid-air, fluttering and floating in the azure tea cup, rolling up unpredictable patterns, and pale white mist filled with floating. The faint fragrance is refreshing and refreshing.

You pushed a cup of tea cup in front of Liu Renzhi, Chu Zhi held the cup to his nose, closed his eyes and sniffed lightly, and sipped his mouth lightly, his lips and teeth were fragrant, and his throat penetrated his lungs, which was evocative. It is worthy of being a good white tea.

"Today, the official is on rotation, no need to be on duty, no tea to do business," Chu Zhen smiled. Carefully playing with the azure teacup, wondering if this is the legendary rain over the azure clouds, this color is made of pulp from the firewood kiln celadon, this is a good and good place to find, whether to dig a pit and bury it for future generations.

"Adults are so stable, but I don't know that in a few days, maybe I will rest every day, and I don't need to do anything." Liu Renzhi's chest tightened for a while, and he couldn't help but sarcastically say a word.

"That's a good dare." As if there was no hint of it, Chu Zhen smiled even more happily: "There is such a good thing, why don't you say it earlier."

Adult Liu Renzhi was helpless, and reminded loudly: "Now is not the time to joke, if you don't act, the future will be really unpredictable." ”

"What the hell is going on, so serious." Chu Zhi said lazily: "Hasn't the accumulated pleadings been processed, and the draft has been drafted and reported, and I haven't heard of people beating drums outside the hall today." Liu Renzhi said softly: "Don't pretend to be fooled. Xiaguan doesn't believe that you haven't heard the rumors outside. ”

Since it is a rumor, then why bother looking down at the tea cup, Chu Zhen was indifferent, mainly because he was embarrassed to defend himself, after all, what people speculated was also somewhat in line with the facts.

Liu Renzhi smiled bitterly. Shaking his head and sighing: "The lower officials naturally know that the adults are innocent, but if it is not that the lower officials are too worried, it is really terrifying, and under the different opinions, if it is, if it is not checked for a while, it is harmful to the adults if they listen to some rumors."

"And what do you think I should do?" Chu asked, "Stand up and refute the rumors?" ”

Liu Renzhi hurriedly stopped: "It's easy to be truthful." mistakenly thought that adults were weak-hearted, and the only way to do this was to ask Taishou for help, and if he said a word, the rumors would be broken. ”

Chu Zhen pondered for a moment, and suddenly shook his head slowly, but he rejected Liu Renzhi's proposal, and he also believed it. As long as he has Fan Zhongyan's support, with his prestige in Shilin civil officialdom, it is enough to suppress all gossip, but he doesn't want to do it.

"My lord," Liu Renzhi wanted to persuade again.

"It's too punctual to take care of all opportunities, to worry about state affairs, and to do small things. There is no need to bother his old man, Chu Zhen said: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter properly." ”

"In that case, the lower official will retire." Seeing that Chu Zhen had made up his mind, Liu Renzhi had no choice but to retreat.

"Childe, what Liu Zhufoil said also has some truth. Why not do what you do? After a while, when Liu Renzhi's figure disappeared outside the courtyard gate, Chu'er walked out of the inner room of the screen, her pretty face was full of worry, and she was also familiar with the affairs of officialdom, knowing that if she was impeached, it would definitely affect the future of the official fortune.

"I have my own solution." Chu Zhen smiled: "It's the Indian Society, how effective is it in a few days?"

The effect was remarkable, and the various booksellers scrambled to buy from the printing society, and some scribes also interested in producing a few volumes of color printed books, and now they are talking about it in their discussions. Chu'er smiled like a flower and was in a good mood.

"Very well, all next." Chu Zhen suddenly said: "Chu'er, the development can't keep up with the situation, it seems that it is necessary for the Indian Society to adjust its business strategy." ”

"Well, Childe, you said that Chu'er nodded softly and listened attentively.

Xingyu Building, up quite poetically, is located on the East Street of the city, where the wealthy businessmen of Hangzhou gather, covering a vast area, red walls and blue tiles. Magnificent and majestic, quiet environment and thoughtful service. It is the best place for businessmen to talk about business.

In the wing room on the second floor, I saw that the interior was gorgeously decorated. On the wall of the main hall hangs a painting of 100 horses. The painting is expressive, the horse is sitting or lying or running, there are thousands of postures, none of them are the same, it can be called a fine product, but the people in the hall do not have this. The mood appreciates rare works of art, but it is vulgar to talk about some things.

"It turned out that it was really the shopkeeper Lu, and I didn't want to see him for months. Brother Lu has climbed to the top of the branches, and he is the tallest man in the Xiling Seal Society, which is really worth celebrating. ”

This person is really happy, the sheep actually had several faces with the shopkeeper Lu before, counting my steps, the head is handed over, there are many layers of relationships, and it is always easy to talk about this situation later, "polite, polite." ”

Shopkeeper Lu said with a smile on his face, surrounded by a group of booksellers. Walk into the hall and push again and again. reluctantly sat on the throne.

looked at the high-spirited and red-faced shopkeeper Lu. Some people still have some bad feelings in their hearts, a few months ago, everyone was a third-rate small bookseller. But I don't know what shit luck he suddenly had, and in a blink of an eye, he became a chief shopkeeper under the Xiling Seal Society, the most famous in Hangzhou today, and his identity didn't seem to have risen to any level, but he had to be flattered by everyone.

Although there is a saying that it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, it also depends on the occasion, the simplest and most intuitive comparison, the length of the post station on the outskirts of the county. Can it be compared to the little yellow gate standing guard in the palace? The responsibilities of the two seem to be the same, but they can't control the small yellow door of the family, and when they meet, maybe even high-ranking officials and ministers will have to say a few words.

However, in the end, it is a businessman who has been in the mall for a long time and is mercenary, and he instantly left his feelings of loss behind. The face was filled with a bright and sincere smile, the flattery was continuous, anyway, it didn't cost money, it was happy to say, and the listening was also happy, the delicious wine flowed up, and the face was hot, and everyone immediately called the brother and brother, the degree of enthusiasm. I'm afraid even my own brothers are just like that.

However, friendship is friendship, in front of business. There is no room for any personal feelings, otherwise he may be swept away at any time, which is clear to the shopkeeper Lu. Booksellers don't really think that they can get their wish with a table of food and drink, anyway, it's still early, and it's not a problem to talk all night, but you might as well show your attitude.

"Shopkeeper Lu, we are buying in batches. There are hundreds of thousands of copies at every turn, and the price of a volume of 900 wen is too expensive

"The cost is like this, since you are all people in the industry, you should also have a number in your heart, such a beautiful carving color printing, pages, ink, cost geometry?. The shopkeeper Lu talked eloquently: "No less than 700 yuan, in business, the printing society also wants profits, otherwise what will everyone eat." Knowing that what the shopkeeper Lu said was not true, it must be mixed with water, but according to previous experience, he carefully calculated and calculated. The booksellers also felt that this amount was not too far from the actual cost, and that there would be a profit of Baiwen if they were sold in other states and counties, and if they were trafficked in other states and counties, the price would not be impossible to multiple.

But what is the businessman is best at, squeezing the record to the last bit of surplus value, how can the shopkeeper Lu say that what is is what it is, he must play a reasonable role.

"Can't there be less?"

"Yes, the books printed by the Xiling Seal Society are so exquisite, and it is indispensable to drink and chat with Shopkeeper Lu in the future."

"The so-called accumulation of small amounts, the Indian Society's shipments have always been tens of thousands, and the profits are huge, and they eat meat. Leave some leftover soup for everyone, too. ”

You say a word, I say a word, while praising the Indian Society, complaining vigorously, this is the booksellers' specialty, ordinary people can't bear the feelings, and they will definitely give in moderately, but they forget that the shopkeeper Lu is not an ordinary person. How could they not be aware of such means, and decided not to give in.

reacted, and played the emotional card again: "Brother Lu, speaking of which, everyone is walking together, you should know that we are waiting for hard work, and business is difficult to do, now that it is developed, why not take care of the poor brothers,"

It seems to remind the hard work of the past. Shopkeeper Lu was silent for a long time, sighed lightly, and nodded slightly. Just when the booksellers thought that the matter was completed, they were happy in their hearts, but they heard the shopkeeper Lu say: "Everyone, it's not that Chang has forgotten his roots, it's really helpless, you must think that what I just said is false, this is true, the problem is that you don't know the situation of our printing society",? ”

"I would like to hear it in detail," the booksellers looked at each other. Curiosity crossed his eyes.

"Tell you yes, but don't spread the word." Shopkeeper Lu said softly, his expression was very mysterious.

"That's nature."

"If there is leakage, there will be retribution

In order to know some Indian society**, it is good to bargain in the future, and even use oaths and curses.

"The situation of our printing agency is different from that of other countries." After hesitating for a while, the shopkeeper Lu whispered: "In order to print and distribute this book collection." We've spent a lot of money

"How, is it true?" Thinking of the rumors in the market, thinking that the Yin Society was going to pay tribute to Chu Qian, everyone suddenly realized, and there were even a few people whose eyes were spinning around, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Don't think crookedly, everybody." Shaking his head, the shopkeeper Lu said: "Our proprietor has set a rule, whoever comes to our printing agency to publish a book, not only does it not cost a millimeter, but according to the quality of his book, he will be given money as a pen fee

"Eyes, why is that?"

Everyone is puzzled, and it is a matter of course in later generations, but in the Song Dynasty, there was no such rule, and most of the guests published at their own expense. Either it is to print on behalf of the booksellers and accept orders from booksellers. The Printing Press never took the initiative to print books.

"In that case, wouldn't the cost of materials be paid by your printing agency?" While everyone was still wondering why the Ear Society was doing this, some were thinking of something else. (To be continued)
