Pingshan Annex.

Bi Sheng sat opposite Zhao Zhen, his expression respectful.

Zhao Zhen took a sip of tea and asked, "Bi Sheng, Pingshan Publishing House, how many copies of "Golden Vase Plum" have been printed?" ”

Bi Sheng replied: "Your Highness, the craftsmen have printed 50,000 copies day and night, without eating or drinking!" ”

50,000 copies?

It's still not enough!

Bianjing City now has a population of more than one million and is the best place to read, with a conservative estimate of 200,000 literate people, excluding children and illiterate people.

How can 100,000 copies be enough!

Zhao Zhen is full of confidence in this book.

He asked again: "There are eight major bookstores in Bianjing, how does the price of their books compare with our Pingshan Book Society?" ”

Bi Sheng replied seriously: "Your Highness, I have already asked people to collect, among the eight major bookstores, the price of a book like "Golden Vase Plum" is more than 100 wen, and the quality is far inferior to our books!" ”

Zhao Zhen had a rough understanding that such a book, according to the original printing method, would cost about seventy words.

The Pingshan Publishing House uses movable type printing, and the cost is only 30 words.

He pondered for a long time and said, "Today afternoon, let's launch "Golden Vase Plum", and the price will be set at 70 Wen!" ”

Bi Sheng hurriedly got up, said yes and hurried out.

As soon as Bi Sheng walked on his front foot, Li Di appeared in front of Zhao Zhen.

Seeing Li Di carrying a hoe with an anxious look, Zhao Zhen asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with Mr.?" ”

Li Di sat down, sighed, and said: "Your Highness, after thinking about it, the minister finally figured it out, then "Golden Vase Plum", the minister thinks it's better not to sell it?" ”

"Why?"

Li Di blushed and said: "Your Highness, I can't hide it, a few days ago, the minister brought a copy of "Golden Plum Bottle" back to the house, and was inadvertently seen by the dog Li Cambodia...... My son Cambodia has been honest and honest since he was a child, and the wedding ceremony is all taught by the old woman in the house...... Now, I'm spoiled by this book! ”

"Poof......

Zhao Zhen just drank a sip of tea in his mouth, and all of it was sprayed on Li Di's face.

Li Di's eldest son, he has a slight influence, and is known for his loyalty and honesty, but now, he has learned badly?

Sin!

Sin!

Li Di looked resolute and said: "Your Highness, the minister is worried, as soon as this book comes out, the world will be in an uproar!" It is better to destroy it and leave it behind! Your Highness is a prince, and since he was a child, he has read poetry and books and learned the way of saints, how can he not understand this truth......"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen knew that Li Di was determined to persuade himself to take back the book.

He smiled, made a cup of tea for Li Di, and said, "Mr. is reasonable, you might as well talk about it in detail......

Li Di is a great Confucian in the world, and his preaching skills are not blown, as soon as he opened his mouth, he talked endlessly for an hour.

In the end, Li Di looked at Zhao Zhen expectantly: "I don't know what Your Highness thinks?" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "This palace thinks you are right, but it's too late......"

"It's too late!"

"If the palace is right, "Golden Vase Plum" has been sold everywhere in Bianjing City!"

"Ah......h

Li Di was shocked, turned around and ran out.

……

Bianjing City.

Afternoon.

Since the popularity of popsicles and ice cream, even on hot afternoons, many people have taken to the streets, with an ice cream in their left hand and a popsicle in their right hand, licking it on the left side and biting it on the right side, as if the heat no longer exists.

A few young people from the south of the Yangtze River shook their folding fans step by step, carefully looking at the surrounding environment.

A few people walked past a newly opened bookstore.

I saw a picture more than one person tall standing at the door of the bookstore.

On the screen, a woman is not an inch, with her back to everyone, looking back and smiling, with all kinds of charms.

The eyes of several people were attracted to it, and they suddenly couldn't walk.

A fat man wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said in surprise: "Look, this bookstore is called Pingshan Publishing House, and what it sells is "Golden Vase Plum"! ”

"What is "Plum in the Golden Vase"? Is it gold, or a bottle, or a plum blossom? ”

"Why don't you borrow it first?"

"Reasonable!"

A few people unconsciously walked into the book club.

In the huge bookstore, there is only one book on the shelves.

Pick up a copy and open it gently.

The poem says: The twenty-eight beauties are like crisps, and the sword at the waist slashes the fool. Although I don't see anyone's head falling, I secretly teach the monarch to wither bone marrow......

Well?

Several readers couldn't help but be drawn to the past.

How wonderful the book is, the years are not long enough!

A few people raised their heads again, but saw that the entire bookstore was surrounded inside and outside, three layers inside and three layers outside, all of which were people.

The fat man pointed to the empty bookshelves and shouted, "Look, the books are all bought......"

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman walked over, looked at the books in the hands of several scholars, and said: "Few, can you bear to cut your love, I am willing to buy ...... at the price of 100 wen a copy."

Several people looked at each other and shouted in unison, "No...... Shopkeeper, quick, checkout! ”

……

The book "Golden Vase Plum" is completely popular.

One afternoon, the first batch of books from Pingshan Publishing House, a total of 10,000 copies, were all sold out.

The price of this book was first speculated to 100 Wen, then 500 Wen, and some people were even willing to pay one or two silver to buy it, but it was still difficult to find a book.

"Golden Vase Plum" is completely popular in the entire Bianjing City!

In just half a day, even people who have never even seen the cover of this book know that there is such a divine book!

……

Twilight.

Li Di stood on the street where people came and went.

From time to time, someone picked up a copy of "Golden Vase Plum" and swaggered through the market, and there were many followers next to him, and everyone looked at this person with envy.

Li Di shouted: "You can't read it, you can't read it, this book will teach people badly...... Everyone gave me the book they bought, and I destroyed it. ”

He's sad!

Although the author of this book is Di Di Xiaoxiaosheng, it is not his Li Di name.

But the truth is what he wrote one by one.

If this book really teaches the world badly, how will he gain a foothold in the future!

"Give the book to the old man, the old man will come and destroy their ......"

Li Di shouted in a hoarse voice.

Suddenly, someone rushed over, glared at Li Di angrily, and scolded: "Old man, you are shameless...... You can't buy books, how dare you try to trick me and others into having books...... I'll leave it to you to destroy, who knows if you'll hide at home at night and watch, I'm ......"

"Shameless ......"

"Shoot him!"

"Disrespectful for the old!"

The crowd was outraged.

Some even rolled up their sleeves.

When Li Di saw it, he hurriedly picked up the hoe and fled.

……

Pingshan Annex.

Vestibule.

Bi Sheng was so excited that he was at a loss.

He smirked vigorously, "Your Highness, 10,000 copies were sold today, 700 taels of silver...... I've never seen so much silver! ”

Wang Dai's eyes lit up, "What, seven hundred taels of silver?" Where is it, hand it over quickly, the East Palace will be repaired, the Pingshan Annexes will be expanded, and it will cost money everywhere......"

At the door, a figure suddenly walked in.

It was Li Di.

Li Di glared at Wang Wei, "Uncle Wang Hui, you are so shameless, this is the money from the sale of "Golden Vase Plum", you dare to touch this kind of money?" ”
