10,000 taels of silver, this is the price of the second episode of "Journey to the West" finally finalized by Lu Zheng and Chen Changwen, this price is very easy to calculate, more than ten prefectures in Zhili Province printed a total of 10,000 copies, and sold out the 10,000 books before others pirated them, and two taels of silver for a book, which is 20,000 taels of silver.

Lu Zheng asked for 10,000 taels of silver, and the remaining 10,000 taels of silver were engraving costs, printing costs, transportation costs, store costs, etc., Chen Changwen deducted all the costs, and he could make a little profit. And what really makes him a lot of money is popularity, the popularity of Hengwu Academy will be cut off by him, and the value of the income brought by the strong popularity to Qingya Academy is immeasurable.

10,000 taels of silver is a huge amount of money, Chen Changwen paid Lu Zheng 5,000 taels of silver on the spot, and the remaining 5,000 taels of silver Chen Changwen mortgaged the title deed of Yangzhou Qingya Academy, promising to pay it off within two months, and the two sides drafted the contract, in a friendly and cheerful atmosphere, under the witness of Yangzhou's top Oiran Qilan, completed this cooperation.

Chen Changwen exchanged five thousand taels of silver for a box of manuscripts in Lu Zheng's bookcase, and after receiving the silver ticket, Lu Zheng beckoned to Yang Shishi and said, "Come here, this hundred taels will reward you as a minion!" ”

Yang Shishi looked at the one hundred taels of silver in his hand, his eyes were about to pop out, he hugged the silver ticket and kissed it fiercely, rolled to the ground, and said:

"Master Lu, you are really my reborn parent!"

Looking at his funny appearance, Fluttershy is bent over with laughter.

Yang Shishi didn't care at all, he grinned, his heart blossomed, one hundred taels of silver he used to have ten years to earn, according to the current market, he can buy twenty acres of cooked land with one hundred taels of silver, which means that he will not starve to death even if he does not work for the rest of his life.

At this time, Yang Shi's admiration for Lu Zheng has reached the extreme, a broken manuscript sells for 10,000 taels of silver, and I am afraid there is no second person except Lu Zheng. You must know that in this era, there is no such thing as copyright, and the book of "Journey to the West" will fly all over the sky after it comes out, and it only takes half a month for piracy to be printed.

But under such circumstances, Lu Zheng sold for a sky-high price of 10,000 taels of silver, and he was able to do this, Gu Zhilun accounted for at least eight successful labors.

Gu Zhilun used so many methods to build momentum, Yang Shishi knew very well that Gu Zhilun had spent a lot of money in order to build momentum, this old guy was very calculus, and used Journey to the West to build up the momentum and pull up the popularity of the bookstore.

It's just that he never dreamed that his momentum was built, and there would be no story about him later.

Lu Zheng's penny did not give him a big illusion, and even Yang Shishi was also sorry for Lu Zheng, thinking that Lu Zheng was really not worth it, why did he give away such a good manuscript in vain? Now it seems that Lu Zheng is a real master, without the previous abandonment, where is the current huge sum of 10,000 taels of silver?

And even if Gu Zhilun knew about this, he had nothing to say, Lu Zheng regarded him as a relative, so he didn't ask for money to send him a precious manuscript! What else is he not satisfied with? See how much people sell to Chen Changwen? That's a whole 10,000 taels of silver!

In this case, Gu Zhilun still has the face to blame Lu Zheng for selling the manuscript to Chen Changwen?

……

The weather is getting hotter, and Lu Zheng hasn't gone out these days since he came back from the "Listening to the Rain Pavilion" painting boat.

Getting 10,000 taels of silver didn't change much in his life.

In terms of financial resources alone, he could have gone out and bought a house and moved out, but could he really do that?

The answer is obviously no!

In the Dakang Dynasty, filial piety comes first, Lu Zheng lives in Zhang's house in Yangzhou, that is the meaning of the main mother, the order of his parents, can he disobey?

If he dares to move out of the Yangzhou Zhang family on his own initiative, what will be the face of the Yangzhou Zhang family? Once he puts a hat of disloyalty and unfilial piety on his head, Lu Zheng's life will be over, and a scholar cannot have the slightest moral stain, so once Lu Zheng does that, his path of reading will end before it begins.

How could Lu Zheng do such a thing?

There are all kinds of difficulties and inconveniences in living in the Zhang family, and he can only live there, and if his life is in danger, he can still only live, unless the Zhang family takes the initiative to let him move out, and these conditions are not yet available. However, everything is slowly changing, and Lu Zheng has money in his hands and has taken a crucial step.

Money is a good thing, money can make ghosts grind, as long as it is used well, Lu Zheng is sure that he can open up the situation.

Hengwu Bookstore, bookstore shopkeeper Tian Dengke sweated profusely and rushed to Gu Zhilun's study in the backyard.

"The owner, the owner, something is wrong!"

Gu Zhilun splashed ink to copy Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", and when he was swaying his pen, he was shouted by Tian Dengke, Gu Zhilun's mind was confused, and the words were written crookedly.

He frowned, threw a large pen on the rice paper, and said coldly: "Lao Tian, how many times have you said it, so that you don't be surprised, what's wrong?" Is the sky falling? ”

Tian Dengke swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Dongjia, the sky has really collapsed!" ”

"Huh?"

Tian Dengke stomped his feet and said: "Qingya Bookstore Chen Changwen has published the second volume of "Journey to the West", five hundred years after Sun Monkey was pressed on Wuzhi Mountain, there is a sequel to the story!" ”

"What?" Gu Zhilun only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell headlong.

He almost jumped in front of Tian Dengke and said, "Lao Tian, what did you say?" Say it again? ”

Tian Dengke repeated what he had said, and Gu Zhilun's eyes widened and said, "How is this possible?" What about Brother Zheng? Did Brother Zheng give the manuscript to Chen Changwen? They didn't know each other, they had never interacted with each other, how could they ......?"

Tian Dengke said: "Has the master forgotten Yang Shishi, a minion?" It's all bad things about this minion, Chen Changwen saw that our bookstore was on fire, so he first dug up Yang Shishi, a minion, with a lot of money, and then Yang Shishi took the lead and found Brother Zheng'er, and they met in 'Tingyu Pavilion'.

This old boy Chen Changwen is really ruthless, and he actually invited everyone in Qilan, I sent someone to listen to Yuge to inquire, saying that Chen Changwen smashed 10,000 taels of silver to Brother Zheng, master, it is good that you have a relationship with Brother Zheng, but Brother Zheng is a young man after all, and Chen Changwen is both a money and a beauty, can he resist it? ”

Gu Zhilun stomped his feet fiercely and said, "Chen Changwen is ruthless enough, 10,000 taels of silver?" Is he really digging for gold? ”

Tian Dengke said: "Chen Changwen's cowhide was blown out, saying that he didn't expect "Journey to the West" to make him money, what he earned was a breath, and people fought for a breath of Buddha to receive a stick of incense, the owner, it was we who played the fame of "Journey to the West", the entire Nanzhili, a whole month bookstore, wine shop, brothel painting boat, but all the storytellers are talking about "Journey to the West", he didn't need to spend any effort, and picked peaches directly.

said that it was not profitable, but this morning, it was said that Yangzhou sold more than 700 copies out, which has not yet spread in the academy, and when several major academies heard the news, Chen Changwen had absolutely no problem buying thousands of copies in Yangzhou.

The owner, there are more than a dozen state capitals in Nanzhili, and Chen Changwen's printing hall is said to have printed 20,000 copies day and night......

The proprietor, you do the math, can he not make money? ”

Gu Zhilun was stunned, his expression was wonderful, he paid a lot of price for "Journey to the West", and in order to increase his popularity, he used a lot of methods, and it can be said that he did his best. The heat has just risen, and now it's okay, it's time to be picked with peaches!

The story behind "Journey to the West" came out, and the first book had already been pirated, and Gu Zhilun could imagine the cold situation that Hengwu Bookstore would face next.

Chen Changwen is right, popularity is very important, the popularity of the bookstore is high, and it is natural to make money, Gu Zhilun is because of this, he used "Journey to the West" as an opportunity to open the gap between Hengwu Bookstore and other bookstores, but he didn't expect him to be negligent for a while and make a fatal mistake.

Now what? I can't regret it!

"Lao Tian, hurry, hurry, please Brother Zheng'er, I will prepare a banquet on the Slender West Lake, please be sure to appreciate the light!" Gu Zhi Lundao.

Tian Dengke said: "Dongjia, where is Brother Zheng'er?" The Zhang family is so big, so who said that you can go in? The old slave really doesn't know how to find him! ”

As soon as Tian Dengke said this, Gu Zhilun was also stunned.

He suddenly realized that he and Lu Zheng seemed to be very close, but in fact, he didn't want to have a deep relationship with Lu Zheng at all! This is all because after Gu Zhilun investigated Lu Zheng, he gained insight into Lu Zheng's embarrassing identity, so he concluded that Lu Zheng had no future, otherwise, he wouldn't even know where Lu Zheng lived?

Gu Zhilun didn't take Lu Zheng seriously from the bottom of his bones, don't look at his politeness on the surface, even if Lu Zheng sent him the manuscript, he was only grateful for a while, and he didn't expect to dig out his heart and lungs with Lu Zheng in his heart, and now he ......

Gu Zhilun stomped his feet fiercely, he couldn't wait to give himself two mouths, he couldn't regret it, he couldn't regret it!

Tian Dengke said on the side: "Dongjia, in fact, Brother Zheng is really good to you, why don't you be more kind to him?" He traveled alone from Jiangning to Yangzhou, sending people under the fence, and it was difficult to walk, but in my eyes, this son is by no means a thing in the pool.

In this world, I only see someone icing on the cake, but I don't see anyone sending charcoal in the snow, the owner, do you also want to learn from those worldly philistines?

Let's take today's incident, if the owner is a little more kind to Brother Zheng, how could he have let Yang Shi's minion take advantage of the loophole? “

Gu Zhilun's face was flushed, and he arched his hand to Tian Dengke and said, "Lao Tian, don't say it!" It's all my ghost, Brother Zheng'er doesn't say anything else, just if he can make a masterpiece like "Journey to the West", it must be not an ordinary person.

He was ostracized in the Zhang family, but he was always able to turn the danger into a disaster, which is auspicious. There is such a big fire in the Fortune Restaurant, he can retreat safely, this is a catastrophe and will not die, there will be a blessing in the future! How did I get blinded by lard, hey, hey......"

Gu Zhilun sighed again and again, his intestines were repentant, this lesson is too profound, it can really be said to be a heartache!
