Chapter 39 Piracy

Yan Heng rented a private room in the largest restaurant in Fenyi County to entertain fifteen printing craftsmen including Xu Deming and hold a celebration party.

Among the fifteen printing craftsmen, Yan Heng specially chose a few older ones to sit at a table with himself and his father Yan Zhun and Xiao Yan Song as a sign of respect, while the rest of the younger printing craftsmen were alone.

Although these fifteen printing craftsmen have only been in Yan's house for a long time, they are now considered to be the elders of Wenqu Study, and Yan Heng naturally has to be treated favorably.

It is easier to buy people's hearts by treating employees as family members than giving them bonuses, which is why Yan Heng will entertain Xu Deming and others at every turn.

Yan Zhun and Xiao Yan Song also participated in this celebration party, and Xu Deming also saw Yan Zhun and Xiao Yan Song, the head of the family, for the first time, and was in a panic like the first time he saw Yan Heng, and his knees were about to bend down unconsciously.

Fortunately, although his father Yan Zhun is honest and honest, he is also kind, and he does not care about his fame, so he hurriedly supported Xu Deming:

"Big guy, please get up, you have worked hard these days, without you, this Wenqu study will not give me such a big surprise, I don't know what to do, you still listen to Yan Heng in the future, in his words, today is the day of celebration, what is the difference between master and servant will be put aside for the time being, you just eat and drink, don't be restrained."

Yan Heng could see that his father Yan Zhun had regained some self-confidence because he had made a lot of money for the family and made him no longer worry about going to Ouyang's house to be a slave, even if he talked to Xu Deming and others, he was much calmer than he imagined.

However, these printers were still a little restrained, and their clothes were not bad at this time, but they were able to sit at the same table with the master's family.

Therefore, Yan Heng also understands this.

It is worth mentioning that Yan Heng originally planned to invite Ouyang in today, and by the way, he talked about the gambling contract at the wine table, but was told by the people of Ouyang's family that Ouyang Jin was sick.

Yan Heng naturally laughed in his heart that it was really time for Ouyang to get sick, and even he said to his father Yan Zhun: "Father, although Ouyang Shishu is a little mean, but in the end it is my Shishu, now that he is sick, we should take the time to visit." ”

After hearing this, Yan Zhun praised his eldest son Yan Heng for being sensible and knew how to repay grievances with virtue.

Yan Heng just smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't need to ask, he could guess that Ouyang Jin was pretending to be sick and deliberately avoiding himself.

Since you are dodging, then I will take the initiative and only allow you to come to see my Yan family's jokes, is it possible that I am not allowed to come to see your jokes of Uncle Ouyang Shi?

"You don't have to be polite, this time Wenqu Study can be so profitable, it all depends on your hard work day and night, and the kid won't say anything good, just want to say:

In the future, as long as there is a bite to eat in the Wenqu study, there will be a bite to eat in you, the Wenqu study is not our Yan Heng alone, not only our Yan family, but everyone's!

In the future, we will continue to produce a variety of money-making books, so that the people like the books, the road of Wenqu study will definitely go farther and farther, although he is still just a small bookstore in the county, but one day he can open to Nanjing, open to the capital!

When the time comes, this son will give each of you the best house to live in, marry the best daughter-in-law, and live a decent life! ”

Yan Heng stood up as he spoke, handed the wine glass forward, and shouted arrogantly: "Dry!" Then he put the wine in his mouth.

But at this time, Yan Heng couldn't help but regret it, because he forgot that he was only a twelve-year-old boy now, and his five organs couldn't control so much wine to pour into his mouth, and his lungs were burning when he drank it for a while.

But at this time, these printing craftsmen had already applauded and couldn't help but praise Gongzi's generosity.

Even Yan Zhun nodded with satisfaction, secretly thinking that although his son was only twelve years old, he also knew how to convince people's hearts, and he was indeed above him in terms of human affection, but he didn't know who he learned these skills from, and he only remembered that before he left home, he was just a reckless second stunned.

Xiao Yan Song wiped the oil on his mouth while nibbling on the chicken legs, looked at Yan Heng with wide eyes, and then smiled: "Brother is so amazing!" ”

Fortunately, the wine in this ancient era was not strong, and Yan Heng could barely support it after drinking, and Xu Deming and others saw that he was so arrogant, but they also let go a lot.

Yan Zhun, the head of the family, also gradually took the initiative to open the topic, and he may be more likely to find confidence and be more calm in front of the people at the bottom.

This celebration was a happy dispersion, and after Xu Deming and others went back, they continued to print "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Essays".

After all, there are still more than 20 days left in the county examination, and there is still a market for this kind of teaching and auxiliary materials.

As Yan Heng expected, in less than three days, a bookstore also began to print "Preparing for the County Trial: Thirty Selected Texts", and also sold it, seizing the market with Wenqu Study.

Yan Heng doesn't care, the next thing is just some leftover soup, his Wenqu study has already made a lot of money, and there is no need to stop them from making some surpluses.

It's just that what makes Yan Heng helpless is that in the Ming Dynasty, these bookstores have no sense of copyright, and they just sell teaching and auxiliary materials, why don't they even change the title of the book, and directly and blatantly pirate!

I sell "Beizhan County Test: Selected Thirty Articles", you don't know how to change it, select forty articles, and fifty articles will also be successful.

Yan Heng felt that it was necessary for him to visit his uncle Ouyang Jin and the county as soon as possible.

Otherwise, I am afraid that piracy will continue to be rampant for a long time, and when the people of the Ming Dynasty feel that piracy is justified, it will be a little late to crack down on piracy and protect the interests of their Wenqu study.

In addition, Yan Heng asked his father Yan Zhun to send a letter of silver to the students who were willing to provide case files for Wenqu Shuzhai at that time, which was regarded as a thank you fee.

After all, he made a lot of money from this, and it is impossible for these talents not to be blushing.

If they don't make a profit, they don't have to say anything, but if they make a profit by this, if they don't give them some benefits, they are afraid that they will not give themselves good articles in the future, and they will even make a stumbling block for themselves.

On the contrary, now that they take the initiative to show their goodwill, it also allows them to avoid the embarrassment of wanting silver and not daring to ask for it for fear of losing their identity, and they will also increase their good impression of Wenqu Study, and even after finding that supporting Wenqu Study can bring huge profits to themselves, and then maintain the status of Wenqu Study.

There is no guarantee that there will be no officials in the future, but the cost of making them agree at this time is lower than the cost of waiting until they become officials.

Moreover, Yan Heng not only took the initiative to send silver, but also got in touch with these talented ministers before other bookstores and established cooperation habits, so that in the future, Wenqu Shuzhai and the government would crack down on piracy, and they could also get their support.

On the contrary, at this time, other bookstores were able to turn around and directly pirate and print Wenqu Study's "Preparing for the County Test: Thirty Selected Essays" was already in the front, and no one could have thought of the front of Wenqu Study, knowing that the upstream source of resources should be controlled first.
