Chapter 337: Flying Season
The weather was getting hotter, and just after about the morning, beads of sweat were already appearing on Wei Renshi's forehead.
Outside the window, pieces of catkins could be seen flying over without comment, and Wei Renshi also completed another book in this flying season.
Give the first half of this book to Yin Qingfeng and Li Niangzi one each, and send someone to Luoyang Yimenglou to send a copy, so that the storyteller there can tell this new story and have the right to do publicity.
Since Wei Renshi wants to create the publishing industry of Datang, after the books are printed, they are naturally not used to give away, but to sell.
But if you want someone to buy it, you have to let people know first, if no one knows that there is a book, then there is no way to sell books.
Therefore, it is necessary to do propaganda in front and accumulate popularity.
In later generations, movies, TV series, etc., which one didn't start to promote it in advance, and from time to time threw out a few trailers and a few trailers, which earned people's attention and then was released?
Wei Renshi wanted to do the same, but he lacked the means to publicize it. Ad? Come on, what kind of advertising? Hand out flyers on the streets? Or forget it, how many flyers do you have to print? And to whom, most of the ordinary people are illiterate at all, okay!
But when I think about it, these people are illiterate, so they don't even know how to buy books!
Sure enough, it is very important to open up the wisdom of the people, and the foundation of enlightening the wisdom of the people is to make most people in the world able to read and write!
Therefore, it can only be given to storytellers in these places, let them tell it, and spread it.
The bookstore gradually increased its contributions, and Wei Renshi no longer had to worry about the content of the newspaper.
Articles such as current affairs and political commentaries are made by Han Yu, Liu Yuxi, Liu Zongyuan, Zhang Ji and others under pseudonyms, and these interesting articles cannot be relied on by Wei Renshi alone, but now there are more contributions, which is much more convenient.
In addition, the manuscript fee given by Wei Renshi seemed to be as high as the cost, so it can be regarded as helping many students from poor families, and allowing people to read books casually, which made Datang Bookstore have a good reputation in Chang'an City for a while.
The inventory of the Shence Army is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it is still continuing.
Wei Renshi is also running back and forth between the left and right Jin Wuwei. However, with the experience of the Right Jin Wuwei, when training the soldiers of the Left Jin Wuwei, it was obviously much smoother and more effective than when he first started training the people of the Right Jin Wuwei.
When I returned home from the barracks, the first thing I did was to ask the cook to mix two glasses of juice first, put ice cubes in them and bring them up, drank a few sips happily, and made a comfortable sound, Wei Renshi wiped the sweat on his head, summer is coming!
Sitting in the rocking chair that he had made by the carpenter, there was half a glass of juice on the small wooden table next to him, and he was so swaying that he fell asleep in a daze.
When I was drowsy, I only felt a gentle breeze blowing on my face, and I took away the restlessness brought by the heat at once.
Because it is comfortable, it is very comfortable to sleep.
I don't know how long I slept in a daze, as if I was gradually waking up, the gentle breeze was still there, and my eyes opened a gap slightly, only to see that it was not the breeze between heaven and earth, but someone sitting next to me gently waving the fan.
"Xi'er?" Wei Renshi woke up and saw clearly the person sitting next to him gently fanning the fan.
"Lang Jun is awake?" Xi'er laughed: "Lang Jun is really tired, he snores when he sleeps!" Lang Jun didn't know to go back to the house to rest, so he fell asleep here. It's also a shame that it's hotter today, and it's in the afternoon, otherwise wouldn't you have to suffer from the wind and cold? ”
Wei Renshi smiled and said: "I am really tired during this time, there are many things in the barracks, there are also a lot of things in the bookstore, and I have to write newspapers every day, so I have some backache." It's time for me to get some help, too. ”
Xi'er put down the fan, stood up and walked to the back of the rocking chair, then gently kneaded Wei Renshi's head with both hands, and then massaged it down his neck and shoulders.
Wei Renshi was a little uncomfortable, but Xi'er held down his shoulder to prevent him from getting up, still kneading, which made Wei Renshi feel that his body bones suddenly loosened, and his body didn't seem to be so tight.
"Xi'er, when did you learn such a hand?" Wei Renshi got up from the rocking chair, feeling as if his body bones had become lighter, looked at Xi'er who was panting slightly, rubbed it on her head, and asked.
Xi'er raised her hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said with a smile: "I learned it from the maid next to His Royal Highness the county lord!" She's got a lot of stuff! ”
Wei Renshi looked at Xi'er, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have grown up inadvertently, but her eyes remained the same, still the same as before, revealing a warm smile.
It's the time of day.
Because of a good night's sleep and Xi'er's massage, Wei Renshi finally felt awake at this time. I didn't sit idle, went straight to the study, and began to prepare the newspaper for tomorrow morning again.
From sitting in the afternoon to dinner, Wei Renshi finally finished and sent someone to the printing workshop, Wei Renshi felt a little sleepy in his back.
"No, I can't sit like this anymore." Wei Renshi tapped his back and muttered to himself. How old is this, living and then trapping, this is not good.
It seems that the matter of setting up an editorial department cannot wait for Li Shisongkou to agree to open a newspaper.
Early the next morning, Wei Renshi went out and went straight to the bookstore, and when he arrived at the bookstore, he asked the shopkeeper for Ma Sigui's residence. Because I received Ma Sigui's manuscript and had to send him a copy after it was printed, I left an address with the shopkeeper.
"Qinglong Temple?" Wei Renshi looked at the address of Ma Sigui that the shopkeeper gave him with some surprise.
Qinglong Temple is also an ancient temple in the Leyou Yuan of Xinchangfang. It was built in the second year of Emperor Wen of Sui, formerly known as "Inspiration Temple", and was re-established as Guanyin Temple in the second year of Longshuo, and renamed Qinglong Temple in the second year of Jingyun, becoming the imperial temple of the Tang Dynasty.
As far as Wei Renshi knows, because it is a royal temple to protect the country, the Qinglong Temple is not for pilgrims to live in. If Ma Sigui lives there, he may have something to do with the monks in the Qinglong Temple.
However, since he submitted his manuscript and looked at what he wrote, he did not look like a Buddhist believer who saw through the red dust and stayed away from the hustle and bustle, so he had the right to ask and take a look.
Leaving from the bookstore, Wei Renshi asked Gou Er to drive to Leyouyuan.
The incense of Qinglong Temple is very prosperous, the pilgrims in and out are endless, Wei Renshi enters the temple, and sees the Qingtan Ancient Temple, which is a quiet place, but is spoiled by so many pilgrims.
Wei Renshi walked to the back, saw a little novice, and asked in front of the mountain: "Little master, dare to ask if there is a young man named Ma Sigui in your temple?" ”
The little novice nodded and said, "Master Ma is behind, please come with me." ”
