Chapter 185: Talking about Business with the Emperor (Second Update, Asking for Recommendation, Asking for Collection)
There are some things that you can't do just by yourself, especially after having a neat plan for the Mentougou Coal Mine, Shi Yiwen, who knew that he was weak, naturally thought of the partner in the palace.
In fact, Zhu Yijun had already thought of Shi Yiwen, if he hadn't been patient, he would have sent someone to find him.
During this time, Zhu Yijun rarely went out of the palace, not because he didn't want to go out, but because he was leaned on by someone - Feng Daban beat his little report again, and was reprimanded by the queen mother.
Naturally, he could only stay in the palace for a while, but in addition to schoolwork, he had nothing to do, and he almost didn't have any problems.
"Emperor, the slave maid heard that the "Morning News" is now selling well in the capital, and there is no one inside and outside the city who does not know the "Morning News".
"Oh, is it? The Morning Post? Sounds familiar......"
Zhu Yijun didn't come back to his senses for a while, so he reminded him on the side.
"Emperor, did you forget the registration you gave the question?"
With such a commandment, Zhu Yijun remembered that those two words were sold for 5,000 taels of silver, how could he forget about it.
"You mean, the newspaper sells so well?"
As soon as he heard that his words had entered thousands of households, Zhu Yijun naturally became interested.
"Not really,"
Seeing that the emperor was interested, he said with a guest.
"Speaking of which, don't say anything about reading the "Morning Post", it's really interesting, not only the strange things in the capital, but also the novel, the Sun Monkey in "Journey to the West" is wonderful."
"Journey to the West? Sun Monkey? ”
Stunned, Zhu Yijun instructed the guest.
"You go and find me what "Journey to the West" is."
In fact, the guest had always hidden the "Morning Post", and he knew who wrote the name of the newspaper, so he would listen to the order, and immediately found the "Morning News" and handed it to the emperor.
"This is the newspaper?"
took the newspaper and looked at the newspaper, especially after carefully reading the words "Morning News" and making sure that there was no difference between his own words, Zhu Yijun read the novel according to the newspaper.
As in any era, young people are always easily attracted by the plot of the novel "Journey to the West", and even when it was time to eat lunch, Zhu Yijun forgot the rules, and continued to read the newspaper there, and did not finish the novel until mid-afternoon.
"What about the rest? Guest, why is there no more? ”
Zhu Yijun, who was looking at it, immediately asked.
The guest hurriedly replied.
"Emperor, this novel is only serialized here, and a new chapter will come out tomorrow morning. This "Morning News" is relying on this to attract people, and the slave maid heard that almost everyone in the capital now knows that Sun Monkey, and the palace is the same. If you want to read it, you have to wait for it, and if you want to read it in a hurry, you have to buy a newspaper yourself,"
"Where is it so troublesome?"
Zhu Yijun waved his hand impatiently and said.
"You go to the newspaper hall and let Zhiyuan ...... Then all the novels of "Journey to the West" were sent to me, there are such intermittent and urgent people! ”
As the emperor, Zhu Yijun's way of chasing more is rough and direct. As he asked the guest to pick up the book, he looked out again and said.
"Guest, you said we haven't been out for a while, you say, is Feng Daban still staring at us like that?"
"Emperor, the slave and maid estimate that they should be a little looser, Emperor, do you want to go out again?"
Can you not do it!
How comfortable it is outside!
Zhu Yijun thought to himself, and then said.
"Let's find a chance to go out in the past two days, you go outside first to inform you, Zhiyuan hasn't seen me for a while, I guess I miss me, give him a face-to-face, save him from saying that I am not enough friends, and let him bring this "Journey to the West" ......"
In fact, Zhu Yijun himself really wanted Shi Yiwen, especially because he was sued by Feng Daban and was punished by his mother to kneel for that hour, in his opinion, only Shi Yiwen can understand him the most in the world.
However, as an emperor, he naturally would not say these words. Even as soon as they met, he said.
"Zhiyuan, this Tang Seng has collected the sand in the quicksand river again, and then what? What apprentices did he take? ”
Zhu Yijun's words made Shi Yiwen stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, what he was asking.
"Where, "Journey to the West" is here."
Shi Yiwen took out a box of books casually, in fact, the bookstore had already printed "Journey to the West", but he didn't expect that the emperor was also a book lover.
"All here? Just a few copies? ”
Zhu Yijun hurriedly opened the bookcase, and then said in surprise.
That's too thin, isn't it?
"Yes, "Journey to the West" is the first novel printed in our bookstore, one hundred times, a total of five volumes."
Hurriedly opened the book and saw the words in the book, Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then said.
"Zhiyuan, the words in your book are really a lot smaller."
"Or do you have the vision to see this at a glance."
Shi Yiwen smiled.
"The words are small, there are more words on one page, if you follow the printing method of other bookstores, a Journey to the West must have at least ten volumes, but in our case, only five volumes are needed, this is because there are a lot of illustrations, otherwise there can be one less volume, and even two volumes can be printed, of course, the words should be smaller, but it is too small, and it will be tiring to watch."
Listening to Shi Yiwen's explanation, Zhu Yijun looked at "Journey to the West" in front of him for a while before saying.
"This word is finely engraved, I was not wrong at the beginning, since you run a bookstore, there must be your intentions, now it seems that I guessed right. With this word, our books must be much cheaper than others, and we can sell more. ”
The most important thing is that I have my part in this bookstore, and once again, Zhu Yijun praised his shrewdness in his heart, if it weren't for his discernment, I'm afraid Shi Yiwen would still be "buried" now.
"Hey, that's just a little bit of insect carving."
Shi Yiwen just smiled slightly, then looked at the emperor and said.
"Actually, if you don't let people come to me, I'll find you too, I recently started a business, what about this business, if it is done, it will definitely make a lot of money......"
As soon as he heard that he could make a lot of money, Zhu Yijun, who was originally very "down", immediately became interested, and he who had just earned money would turn away the big money.
"Oh, Zhiyuan, what kind of business? Hurry up and talk to me. ”
Although he is in the deep palace, Zhu Yijun has always been interested in business, and even in the palace, there are markets opened by eunuchs, although he only imitates the prosperity of the market, but he is full of thirst for wealth in his bones, which may be the biggest difference between him and all emperors throughout the ages.
Looking at the emperor who was interested, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.
"Coal!"
