This day is destined to disappoint the scholars who came to Moxiangju to buy books. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Luo Yan walked out of Moxiangju for half a moment, Moxiangju hung a sign in front of the door saying that it was closed.

For such a willful Mo Xiangju, everyone has nothing to do. But those scalpers took this opportunity to threaten that Mo Xiangju really couldn't do it. It is estimated that the complete closure will be a matter of one or two days.

With such unfavorable news, Mo Xiangju's books suddenly became a hot commodity, doubling from the beginning, to two or three times, and in the evening, the price even increased to eight times. This price has far exceeded the price of books in other bookstores.

But I can't stand such a beautiful book, which is about to become out of print.

Thinking of this, in fact, many scholars are a little worried. Alas, it would be nice if Mo Xiangju could continue to open.

Overnight, I don't know how many people tossed and turned. Early the next morning, the door of Moxiangju was full of people. Everyone wants to know if Moxiangju will open again. Could it be, the creak of the door closing yesterday became a loud noise.

Wait, wait, wait. In the blink of an eye, it was midday, and it was noon, and it was almost time again.

Although it is said that August is a fire, it at least means that there is a fire. The noon sun was as hot as it was, but the scalpers lamented and left, but more of the scholars chose to stay.

They are not reconciled. Unwilling to be like this, a bookstore is like a flash in the pan, passing in a hurry.

But in the blink of an eye, Shen Shi had passed, and he still couldn't hear any movement in the bookstore. Although it is true that the shelves are full of books, I am afraid that this is the last point.

"The pages are rare and yellow, and the pen is in regular script.

Pity the world is so ugly, only the ink incense is used as an epiphany. ”

In the evening, the East Market was brightly lit, and in the cries of rare treasures, the scholars vied with each other to sing a poem.

This is a down-and-out scholar who waited in Moxiangju for a whole day, but when he still didn't open, he read it out with his back to Moxiangju with tears in his eyes. I heard others say that he came from Puzhou, hundreds of miles away, specifically to buy books from Moxiangju.

However, Mo Xiangju disappointed him.

Chang'an Shilin had already fallen out at this time. Many scholars who had already bought books formed a group of three or five out of righteousness, and discussed pooling some money to send to Mo Xiangju, just hoping to keep such a good place.

And the dozen or so bookstores that had been watching from the sidelines were overjoyed.

In the original Huai'an Palace, Li Daoyan was holding a banquet.

The guests he is going to feast on today are not small. The head of the Deng family in Jiangnan, the clan of the Taiyuan Wang family, and several others, large and small, are all the backstage of this Chang'an City engraving workshop.

They run more than a dozen bookstores in the city.

As for the reason for the banquet, it is naturally that Mo Xiangju is about to go out of business, everyone has watched for so long, watching Luo Yan perform a one-man show for so many days, and this time it finally collapsed. As Luo Yan's enemies, how could they not be happy.

The seats were full, and Li Daoyan was not polite, raised his glass and said to these people very happily: "Everyone, I have been waiting for a long time, and business has been affected these days. Now that he has finally waited for the closure of this Moxiangju, Luo Yan has lost his pants, hahaha. ”

Li Daoyan is not the only one who gets carried away.

The clansman of the Taiyuan royal family nodded with a smile: "In the past few days, none of our family's property has entered. The limelight is all occupied by this ink fragrance house, and now I see him being arrogant. Hahaha, fighting with us, he Luo Yan is still a little tender. ”

"Yes, I'm waiting for the time to find out the source of this Moxiangju's books. If such a good book is put in our store, the price will increase by 30%. ”

"Thirty percent? You're too petty. If you want me to say, it will be fifty percent directly. ”

"Yes, let's start tomorrow, inquire clearly, and we will make a fortune together in the future. Hahaha. Li Daoyan's eyebrows fluttered happily.

The banquet lasted all night, but when the sun rose and they woke up, they were purple-faced by the news that the next person hurriedly came to report.

"What do you say? Moxiangju is open again? Li Daoyan gritted his teeth and looked at the subordinate who came to report the news very unkindly.

Although the person was a little frightened, he still had to say: "Grandpa, it's true, Mo Xiangju opened the door at the beginning of this morning, and three moments have passed now." ”

"Bastard." Li Daoyan was angry and kicked the table next to him.

Not to mention how annoyed Li Daoyan was, at this time, Moxiangju was full of people in front of the door, but less than half of the people actually went in to buy books. Because everyone was looking at a sign hanging in front of the door. In other words, the rules of Moxiangju.

"Whoever goes into the store to buy a book has no requirements for what he has learned. To buy the Analects, you need to report the book of Mongolian learning, and you can only buy it through questions and answers. The Twelve Classics can only be purchased by answering three questions in the Analects. In addition, each scholar can only purchase one set of books from our shop. In other states and counties, stores will be laid one after another, and no longer accept reasons for buying. ”

What a strange regulation this is.

The words are very powerful, and there is a lot of thinking that if you don't read, don't buy good things if you can't read. This embarrassed the scalpers, who had never heard of such a rule when they had sold books before.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents. Although they took ill-gotten gains, Mo Xiangju did this, which was undoubtedly specifically aimed at them.

If you don't make trouble, you won't be able to do it.

"Why, why does Mo Xiangju have such bullshit rules?" A scalper took the lead, which immediately caused a response from many people.

For a while, the people who originally wanted to buy books, or those who wanted to buy them for others, were a little reluctant at this time, and they followed the scalpers to scold them in various ways. So much so that at this moment, the door of Mo Xiangju was suddenly no different from the vegetable market.

The scolding sounded, and Ah Quan, as the shopkeeper, naturally couldn't ignore it.

He had expected such a situation for a long time. The day before yesterday, Luo Yan had a face-to-face lecture with him, so he focused on this matter.

"You, you, don't scold first." Ah Quan walked out and stood in front of him and scolded the fiercest one, pointing very unkindly: "It's you, you still have the face to scold me Mo Xiangju?" Song Si, don't think I don't know, you are a famous ranger in Chang'an City. I've made a lot of money with my Moxiangju books these days. ”

Song Si was very disdainful: "What's the scolding?" How the master makes money is the master's business. Even if you make money with your Moxiangju book, then the buyer is willing, can you manage it? ”

Listening to Song Si's words, Ah Quan smiled: "Yes, I don't care how you make money." However, how to make money in my Mo Xiangju, it is not the turn of a ranger like you to talk nonsense. I'll leave it here for now, these rules are for you guys who don't do your job. ”

Song Si was enraged by Ah Quan's words.

"Okay, you're very good, I, Song Si, have been in Chang'an City for so many years, and no one has ever dared to speak to me like this. What about Cheng Guogong's industry, I still make trouble. Brothers, come on, smash this Moxiangju for me today. ”

Song Si said viciously, and suddenly dozens of people stood behind him in the crowd, just waiting for him to give an order, and they were about to rush into Moxiangju to smash and loot.

Ah Quan didn't show fear, but bowed to the people around him: "Everyone, it seems that Moxiangju is in some trouble today. In order to avoid being dragged down, please take twenty or thirty steps back. ”

"What did the shopkeeper say, these people are doing evil, although we are invincible with two fists and four hands, it is still okay to protect the shopkeeper and be beaten less." A dozen scholars stood out from the crowd, although they were weaker, but they stood in front of Ah Quan without fear and confronted these scalpers.

Although they were a little frightened in their hearts, they believed that according to the management of Dongshi, there would soon be an official to take care of it. If Mo Xiangju is smashed today, I am afraid that it will be closed in the future. Whatever you say, you have to buy a few books on the last day. Even if it's a beating, it's worth it.

Who would have thought that Ah Quan looked at the crowd that had already taken more than twenty steps back and smiled, and said to the dozen or so scholars: "Okay, I have received the kindness of a few people." Still, you get out of the way at this time. Mo Xiangju dares to say this, naturally it has its confidence. ”

After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands, and suddenly more than 20 sturdy men rushed out of it, and they beat them up to a group of rangers led by Song Si. And there is quite a rule between advance and retreat, although the number of scalpers is about three times that of them, but in a moment, they are all knocked to the ground, and they can no longer get up.

At this time, the government office in charge of the East City sent a messenger over.

Ah Quan greeted him, bowed to the messenger, and secretly made some money, and then said: "Everyone, these rangers are making trouble at my door, and they have been defeated by my fellows here. It's just a trivial matter, but I'm really sorry to bother you to run for nothing. ”

Ah Quan's familiarity made the officers very satisfied, nodded, clenched the money in his hand, and promised Ah Quan: "It turned out to be Song Si and these little thieves. If he comes again in the future, you can just beat it, this guy is also a frequent visitor in the prison of Chang'an County, as long as no one is killed, I will save the quiet. ”

Ah Quan smiled and sent the messenger away, only then did he return to the middle of these rangers who fell to the ground, and smiled: "If you want to make trouble, don't look at what kind of place this is." Get out, dare to step into my Moxiangju half a step in the future, and see how I clean you up. ”

Seeing Song Siyi fleeing in embarrassment, Ah Quan said to the onlookers: "The price of books in Moxiangju in Chang'an City is a bit outrageous these days. Let me say it again, Mo Xiangju is indeed my grandfather who has found a new way to greatly reduce the cost of printing books, so he has the courage to sell books at such a low price. It is forbidden to trade with each other privately, so that real readers can read good books, read well, and can afford to read books. ”

After a pause, he continued: "In order to tell you that this is true, in a few days, Mo Xiangju will also open a branch in the West Market, so that you don't have to walk more." ”

Hearing such news, the scholars who were originally worried that Moxiangju would close their doors shouted happily. (To be continued.) )
