Chapter 249: The Great One of Heroes
Jia Qing got up and left, passing by Lin Daiyu's side, and found that she was looking at the stage intently, and said secretly: I didn't expect Sister Lin to be so attentive to watching the play.
I looked at Mother Jia and Aunt Xue and the others all watching the play quietly, and they didn't be alarmed, and quietly went downstairs and left.
didn't know that as soon as he left, Daiyu, who was originally "concentrating" on watching the play, immediately rolled her eyes and looked around. found that except for Jia Mu and a few others, few people were really watching the play, and Shi Xiangyun had fallen asleep on the desk.
Funny and slightly boring, then got up and silently walked to the back.
Zijuan, who was standing behind her, saw it and hurriedly followed.
"Girl, where are you going?"
Daiyu turned around and saw that it was Zijuan, and said, "It's weird and boring inside, I'll go out for a walk, you don't have to follow me......"
It's just that Zijuan is willing to listen, although Ning Guofu and Rongguo Mansion are one family, she is not at ease, and hurriedly follows behind Daiyu.
Daiyu originally had some scheming in her heart, and she didn't want Zijuan to follow. But he also understood Zijuan's kindness, thought about it again, and felt that it was okay, and the master and servant just walked in the back house of Ning Guofu.
said that Jia Qing went out of the second door, and sure enough, he saw Wang Shun waiting there. The boy had also learned to summon people, and behind him, the two younger ones had no spare hands, only he was empty-handed.
Jia Qing only glanced at the things in the hands of the two people, and said, "The book is printed?" ”
Wang Shun said with a smile: "Exactly, because the second master has high requirements, Boss Li didn't dare to print more, only printed two sets, let the small one bring one in for the second master to see, if he is not satisfied, he will change it." ”
Jia Qingdao said: "Take it and let me see!" ”
Wang Shun hurriedly ordered one of the little servants to step forward and open the package in his hand.
"It's not very convenient here, in case it gets dirty......" Wang Shun.
Jia Qing thought about it, there was no place to put it here, so he said, "Come in, say in the pavilion inside." ”
When Wang Shun heard this, he helped put away the book and walked to the second door. Even if it was him, without Jia Qing's permission, he would not dare to enter the second gate easily.
When they entered a pavilion inside the second gate, there was a stone table in it, and the two little men hurriedly put their things on it.
One is a box and the other is a package. Needless to say, it was specially used by Jia Qing to hold manuscripts. So I opened the package directly.
New, shiny and beautiful!
About 20 fully bound standard books appeared in front of me. Not to mention anything else, but this one looks good, and it is not in vain that he spent so much money to ask the bookstore to engrave it.
In this era, it is really a huge project to engrave a set of nearly a million words. This is also due to the existence of movable type printing, which does not need to be engraved on the spot.
Before, a masterpiece of 100 words may only be carved and engraved so quickly by the power of the whole country.
Pick up a book on the face, the cover is gray and gold, on the upper left (because from the back to the front, the title of the book is on the left) "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" a few body words, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and there is a heroic spirit.
When Jia Qing first started writing, he chose this classic martial arts. It's not that Jia Qing likes it the most, but he feels that the spirit embodied in this book is closer to the value orientation of this era and is more acceptable!
Of course, even if this is the case, Jia Qing does not completely copy the original work, and even if he does, he may not remember it...... He was made from memory and what he had learned in this era!
In the end, it took nearly a million words to finish telling this chivalrous story.
Flip through a few pages at random, the paper is soft and rigid, and the sound of the pages being folded is clear, obviously using high-quality rice paper.
After looking at it repeatedly, he didn't find anything wrong, obviously the bookstore did exactly what he wanted, so he said: "Okay, just follow this pattern, you tell Boss Li to ask him to print another hundred copies." Later, you will go to Li Yan to withdraw the silver taels! ”
Saying that, Jia Qing was about to re-wrap the book and prepare to take it in.
Wang Shun said: "There is one more thing to tell the second master, the shopkeeper Li said, as long as the second master sells your books in his store, he is willing to print five hundred sets of ordinary ones for the second master for free, and give the second master another 1,000 taels of silver......
I've never seen anyone do this kind of business, and I have to rush to pour money to my grandfather! Isn't he afraid that the 500 sets won't be sold, so won't he lose his home? ”
Jia Qinghe smiled: "So you can only be an errand runner, and others can be a big boss!" ”
How much is 500 sets? Not much!
Not to mention far, in the capital alone, there are more than a thousand people who can read?
The owner of this Renxuan bookstore must have seen the broad market of Jia Qing's book, decided that it could become popular, and wanted to take the lead!
It's just that Jia Qing doesn't have the idea of making money with this! As expected, once this set of books appears on the market, it must be full of piracy, and there is no way to prevent it!
I believe that the owner of Renxuan Bookstore doesn't think that Jia Qing's set of books can earn him much money. He values fame! As long as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can become popular, then Renxuan Bookstore, as the first batch of books to sell, is undoubtedly the best publicity.
The brand effect has existed since ancient times.
"If you ask him to send him five thousand taels of silver, I will promise to sell books only in his bookstore.
In the future, I will not use silver to print books, but he can print them himself, and the money he sells has nothing to do with me. ”
In this era, there is no such thing as copyright, but there is the right of authorship. Jia Qing promised to sell books only with him, which was actually equivalent to selling the copyright to him.
For books, he is not ready to cooperate with Shen Congcheng to make money, because of trouble, and the income is not high!
Wang Shun was a little speechless and muttered, "Five thousand taels, will he agree?" ”
Jia Qing smiled: "He will be very happy!" ”
Jia Qing doesn't need those 1,000 sets of ordinary books, just those books are worth about two or three thousand taels of silver when they are sold, Jia Qing only needs 5,000 taels, I believe he will be very happy!
took the two little maids into the inner house, went directly to Yipintang, and asked the maid to come out and pick up the book and the original manuscript, and bring them into the study. Then I found out that there was actually a guest at home!
"Sister Lin, why did you get here?"
Looking at Daiyu who walked into the study of the East Wing, Jia Qing hurriedly stood up and led her to take a seat.
Daiyu looked around at the layout of Jia Qing's study, and said, "I was tired of watching the play, so I came out for a walk, and I walked to the second brother without thinking about it, so I came in and sat down."
What did the second brother do? ”
Zijuan, who followed her in, pouted when she heard this, and she had reservations about their young lady's statement.
Daiyu said, walked to Jia Qing's bookcase, looked at the things on the table, and said curiously: "Is this so?" ”
Jia Qing smiled: "It's just a few books." ”
Daiyu felt an emotion in her heart that she didn't know how to emanate, so she said, "Oh, what kind of book is it, maybe let me take a look?" ”
As he spoke, he reached out and opened the book wrapped in cloth.
"Ah, what a delicate book!"
When she saw the twenty or so books neatly stacked inside the package, Daiyu couldn't help but be surprised.
Jia Qingzhi said: "My sister wants to see it, naturally she can, just to see what else needs to be improved for me." ”
When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but ask: "Listening to the tone of the second brother, could it be that these books were written by the second brother?" ”
Jia Qing smiled, but before he could respond, Pei Feng, who was standing on the side, said: "Of course, I watched our second master write it word by word!"
It's well written! ”
Pei Feng couldn't help but look proud when she said! If Jia Qing hadn't asked her not to talk to people outside the courtyard without his consent, she would have been unable to help but spread it around!
However, in the entire Yipintang, she served in the study all day long, so except for the basic literacy, no one else could read. Therefore, no one competes for her for this "exclusive favor"!
Now that she can finally talk to people openly about these books, she is like a person who has been holding her breath for a long time, and she just wants to say all the words that have accumulated in her chest. It's just that there are thousands of languages, but in the end, I don't know how to describe it, and I can only use the words "it's well written".
Daiyu didn't mean to communicate with her, she picked up a copy lightly, looked at the words on the cover, and felt a little wanton and chic, and her heart was already curious.
Silently turned the next page, there was nothing, only eight big characters in the square:
The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people!
