"Don't thank me."

Xu Shiliu said indifferently:

"My purpose is not to steal your family heirloom storefront, you can do better for me, and it doesn't matter to me to return the store to you."

"However, I won't completely let go, even if I return the store to you, you will have to do it honestly with what I ask you to print."

"Don't worry!" The shopkeeper said seriously: "You are the life-saving benefactor of the old man's family, what you are told, if the old man does not do well, can he still be regarded as a person?" ”

"It's good that you think so."

"However, to be honest, using these off-the-board tricks is not a way after all, we have to think of other ideas to make the newspaper shop more ......."

"Well, I know that, too." Xu Shiliu asked, "Do you have any way?" ”

This era is always relatively conservative, and Xu Shiliu is not without political enemies, so it is difficult to say whether anyone will propose to ban the entire publication because of the second edition of the erotic story.

One-size-fits-all is not something that only bureaucrats from another time and space can do, and there is no need to travel at all to understand this.

"This kind of supplement, we can publish these erotic books, if it is a regular issue, it is recommended to find more famous poor scholars, give a thick pen, and write some scripts that are more suitable for putting on the table."

According to the shopkeeper's explanation, the competition in the Jiangnan science field is very fierce, and those scholars who have a good reputation in poetry and songs may not be able to win the first place, some of them have been in the science field for a long time, and they will be very embarrassed in terms of money, and some of them have even fallen to the point of writing some glamorous words for the main store such as Xiaofan Lou, and even being "raised" by the popular girl.

If you give more polishing pens, it is not difficult to let these people write some "custom essays" for themselves.

"If you know this kind of scholar, just ask for it, it's not a problem to polish the pen."

徐世柳 says:

"But you just mentioned my sister?"

The influence of Ji Nu in society is often quite high.

Because they can come into contact with all kinds of people in their lives and work, it is often easier for them to convey their ideas.

And Xu Shiliu, because he rescued the girls of Xiaofanlou in the Fangla Rebellion, has a very good reputation in Lin'an Huanchang, if he makes some non-rude requests, no matter which grade of Ji Girl is high or low, he should not refuse.

"Here's a mission for you."

Xu Shiliu said to the shopkeeper:

"Not only famous scholars, but also non-famous scholars can also prepare some, we are not afraid of spending money, according to the quality of the text to polish the pen, according to my requirements to write some stories that my sister can tell in front of the guests."

"If you're not famous?"

"That's right! If it is well written, it can be told by the Qing people. If the writing is not good, give some money, and let the ordinary lady tell the guests is not bad. ”

徐世柳 says:

"Make a tabloid for Ji Nu alone, and the paper, printing and content must show the grade, these things are sold, and the sisters are given a commission, they always love money."

In order to sell more tabloids and get more points, Ji Nu will naturally pick up some interesting stories to tell to customers.

That's what it is, it's omnichannel.

"In addition, after a while, when Fang La is exterminated, I will invest in holding a Keju competition."

Xu Shiliu remembered some stories about propaganda that Xu Shiyang had told him, and he felt that the third brother's ideas were always a little strange, but they seemed to be quite feasible.

Words such as recommendation and omni-channel were inadvertently instilled into him by Xu Shiyang.

Well, there's also the word traffic.

"You have to find a way to cooperate with the publicity, attract more attention, it doesn't matter if you don't make money, if someone pays attention, you will have a source of money, and if you pay more attention, we can't lose anything."

"Yes, that's easy." The shopkeeper immediately agreed.

It's really easy to do this, after all, there are so few types of entertainment in this era, no matter what form of entertainment: gambling, sumo, opera, acrobatics, storytelling, etc., as long as people know it, it will always attract a lot of attention.

Keju is naturally the same, not to mention that this game can also be combined with betting, and it is not difficult to recover costs or even make a lot of money.

……

Xu Shiliu walked out of the main entrance of the bookstore and got into a new carriage.

There is a shortage of large livestock in the south of the Yangtze River, horse-drawn carriages are not popular, and people with money and power usually travel by sedan chair by land.

However, Xu Shiyang told Xu Shiliu: replacing animals with his own people is a beast himself.

Therefore, officials at all levels in Qi Province are now not allowed to ride in sedan chairs, and the only sedan chairs are also supplied to women, and they are carried by foreign slaves, and Han people are not allowed to act as sedan chair drivers.

In order to solve the problem of transportation, Xu Shiyang specially ordered the manufacture of this new type of carriage, and installed a large leaf spring on the chassis (produced from a military factory like the flintlock pistol leaf spring, and the technical level is basically the same), which has substantially improved comfort compared with the old carriage.

At least Xu Shiliu thinks that this car is much more comfortable than a swaying sedan chair.

This kind of carriage has become a standard "official car" in Qi Province, but in Jiangnan, only Wenfu, Xu Shiliu and Xu Shisong have a few.

Because of the leaf springs, the carrying capacity of the new carriage chassis is also much stronger than that of the old carriage, so the area of the carriage closed on all sides is quite large, and the doors and front and rear windows are also equipped with transparent glass produced by Qi Province, coupled with the carved mahogany compartment walls, which makes the carriage look extravagant.

The interior decoration of the carriage is also mainly comfortable, with a wide sofa and a fixed small table, which is enough for several people to comfortably lie down at the same time.

Even the head of a wealthy family like Wen Xianggong was full of praise for the new carriage, and he even proposed that Qi Province produce more and sell it to Jiangnan.

However, this transaction cannot be done for the time being, because Qi Province also needs a large number of carriages, not only official cars, but also freight and passenger carriages, and it is not easy to meet the output needs of the army and civilians.

After all, the factory that produces leaf springs is also responsible for the production of flintlock pistol accessories.

When Xu Shiliu entered the carriage, there was already a person waiting for him inside.

It was an emaciated man, his face looked a little haggard, and only occasionally raised his eyes exuded a chill down his spine.

"Ding Xiaoyi, how is the situation over there?" Xu Shiliu asked with a smile.

"The Holy Father has entered the mountain, and he can't hold it anymore." Ding Xiaoyi, who used to be a general under Fang La, replied with a little sadness: "There are less than 20,000 people left around the Holy Father, and Tong Guan has an army of 150,000 people, this ...... who lacks food and clothing."

"Then do you see the situation clearly?"

Xu Shiliu interrupted Ding Xiaoyi's words, he didn't care much about Fang La's fate, anyway, that guy was already dead.

What he is most concerned about now is whether Fang La's legacy can be absorbed for himself after his death.

“……”

Ding Xiaoyi was silent for a while, and finally decided to beg once:

"Rightly, can you ......?"

"I can't." Xu Shiliu interrupted him again, and the young man, who was only in his twenties, said in a cold tone that was enough to make the ruthless old Jianghu tremble: "Fang La will definitely die, if he dies in battle, it will be better, if he is captured, he will definitely be cut by a thousand knives." ”

"You don't have to think of another way out for him, otherwise you and those Jianghu people under Fang La will honestly join me, and I will guarantee that you will not die. Otherwise, you will accompany Fang La to die. ”

"The choice is yours."
