Li Xiao and Tamase rode to Chang'an before dark, and as soon as they entered the city, the city gate slowly closed behind them.

"It's getting late, let's rest for the night."

Li Xiao hated the curfew system in Chang'an City, and when it got dark, Chang'an City was no longer prosperous, just like a big prison cell. The city gate is closed, the square gate is closed, Chang'an City is more than a hundred closed square areas, and you can't go anywhere except at home when it's dark.

"Then go to your house, I still have some details to ask you about running a newspaper." Tamase is now full of thoughts in addition to the god list, which is the Chang'an News, she is originally a free and easy person, informal, and at this time, she is wearing a Taoist robe, and she doesn't think about anything else.

Li Xiao wanted to refuse, the hostess was not in Chang'an Mansion, and the two of them stayed together at night for fear that it would not affect well, it can be seen that Tamase is so free and easy, if he cares, he will be a little stingy, so he has to agree at the moment.

The night was very regular, and the two discussed the details of the newspaper until late, and then went to rest in peace.

There was nothing to say all night, and at dawn the next day, Li Xiao went directly to the Zongsheng Temple in Chang'an City.

This is the stronghold of Zhongnan Mountain Tower Guandao in Chang'an City, the Taoist temple is very large, occupying half of the place of a square in the south of the city, there are 120 Taoist priests registered in the imperial court, and there are many small Taoist children, laymen, and some slaves who do things for the Taoist temple.

Li Xiao had the guidance of Yuse, the Taoist aunt, but he didn't get lost in the Zongsheng Temple, so he went straight to find Chen Laodao.

"Daochang Chen, meet again, I have an article for you to see."

Li Xiao got straight to the point, and directly took out the 30,000-word Fengshen list of the first nine chapters written yesterday, in addition to the 10,000 he wrote before, he also called a few account gentlemen last night, Li Xiao read the account room gentlemen to write, and rushed out another 20,000 words.

Chen Laodao is the younger brother of Yin Wencao, the master of Zongshengguan, and his status in Zongshengguan and the entire Louguandao is still very high, and he is now responsible for collecting and sorting out Taoist scriptures.

Lao Dao got back 10,000 copies of the Tao Te Ching from the printing bureau last time, and it only cost 1,700 yuan, which made the viewer Yin Wencao also very surprised and satisfied.

Now that these 10,000 copies of the Tao Te Ching have begun to be distributed, those lay people who come to the temple to make incense can buy a copy of the Tao Te Ching that has been blessed by the Zongsheng Guan in the view, and one is only sold for 500 yuan.

The printing bureau sold a copy of the Tao Te Ching to Zongshengguan for an average price of 170 yuan, but they sold it for 500 yuan, and I have to say that this abacus is good.

But Chen Laodao said that this Tao Te Ching was blessed by them.

So Li Xiao is not jealous of these bull-nosed veterans, he is here to find a sponsor today, when he wrote the list of gods instead of the Three Kingdoms, he originally took a fancy to the big sponsor of Louguan.

A 30,000-word manuscript, plus an outline of the god list.

Chen Laodao was not polite, picked up the manuscript and read it carefully, quickly read the beginning of 30,000 words, and then carefully read the outline several times.

Lao Dao looked at it, his eyes lit up.

Although there is not much content in Shinto in the first few chapters, according to this outline, this book is not simple.

Worshipping the Tao and suppressing the Buddha is the favorite thing for Taoists to do.

Especially during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, both sides played out their dogs' brains and looked for human agents. The Taoist priests found Wei Wu and Zhou Wu, and destroyed the Buddha twice in the country, while the monks found the Northern Qi and forcibly made all the Taoist priests in the Northern Qi shave their hair and become monks.

In Datang, although this kind of struggle is not so fierce, but the means are not so radical, and the struggle between the two sides has not stopped.

Now the Taoists have the upper hand for the time being, but Lou Guandao does not dare to underestimate the enemy, but whenever there is a chance, they will step on the bald donkeys a few times.

For example, the golden pillow case between Princess Gaoyang and the monk of the debate machine back then, they did not make waves in it. After all, he was a famous monk in Chang'an City, a future monk, he was a disciple of a generation of senior monk Xuanzang, and he not only wanted to break off a future master in the bald donkey world, but also to fight Xuanzang and the entire bald donkey world.

That incident did make a lot of trouble later, Gao Yang was thought about by Taizong's secluded mansion, and the discernment machine was also cut in half, and the bald donkeys in Chang'an City were severely warned by the royal family.

"San Lang, please wait a moment, I'll take you to see Senior Brother Yin." Chen Laodao believes that this Yin Wencao will definitely like it, Senior Brother Yin is doing great things now, he wants to unify all Taoist factions, unify Taoist thoughts, and complete the unification in the hands of Louguandao, just like when Emperor Wen of Sui unified the divided world.

Yin Wencao is now collecting all kinds of Taoist scriptures everywhere, and intends to compile a Taoist collection, which is to prepare for the unification of all Taoist sects.

While unifying Taoism, of course, it is also necessary to crack down on foreign bald donkeys, as a local Taoist, it is inherently unaccustomed to foreign bald donkeys.

Therefore, Lou Guan Dao not only regards the Tao Te Ching as the Bible of the religion, but even attaches great importance to the scriptures of Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing and other scriptures that worship Taoism and suppress Buddhism, and often hires people to copy it, and then preaches it everywhere.

And now this list of gods is quite remarkable, even more awesome than Lao Tzu's Hu Jing. People directly put the gods and immortals in those myths and legends since ancient times to make a pedigree.

What does this amount to?

It is equivalent to the favorite thing of those scholars in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties eras, repairing the score. The Wei and Jin dynasties were the era of the scholars, and the scholars were the most important.

Now this list of gods is equivalent to repairing a spectrum for Taoists and Chinese immortals, and listing the spectrum order for them, which is shaping the Taoist system.

Yin Wencao is a very spiritual old Taoist priest, and he has a bit of fairy wind and bones.

It's a very long old man with a white beard.

Chen Laodao introduced to both sides, Li Xiao hurriedly made a salute, regardless of Taoism, this old man's status is very high, but people can wear purple gold in the court.

"This is the list of gods written by Saburo." Chen Laodao handed the manuscript to Yin Wencao.

Yin Laodao took it and looked at it seriously.

After reading it, this veteran Dao's breathing was not very steady, and he was obviously still in shock.

I really want to fall asleep and come to the pillow, this is simply a treasure for him to unify Taoism and fight Buddhism!

"Fengshen Bang, this book has a good title, what are San Lang's plans?" Lao Dao asked.

Li Xiao immediately explained his intention with a smile, introduced the upcoming Chang'an News, and then said that he planned to leave a page in the news newspaper to publish the serialized list.

"Okay, how much is serialized in one issue?"

"About 3,000 words in a chapter."

"It's a little less, and I'll finish reading these 30,000 words in a while."

"The space is limited, so I can't serialize too much content."

"You have to serialize about 10,000 words at a time, right?" Yin Laodao is interested in the influence of this book, and hopes that it can be serialized as soon as possible.

"We can also change the serialization method, such as printing 10,000 words each time and sandwiching them in the newspaper, so that it does not occupy the space and content of the newspaper." Li Xiao gave a solution, serializing 10,000 words every ten years, and an average of 1,000 words a day.

10,000 words in 10,000 words, collected into one volume for printing and distribution in a month.

"What does San Lang need our Zongsheng Temple to do?" Lao Dao asked.

Li Xiao explained the meaning with a smile, the content outline of this book is for Lao Dao, and the core idea is clear to him, which is a good thing for Lou Guan Dao. But writing a book is always a painstaking thing, and if there is no material support, it will be difficult to write this book.

After all, according to Li Xiao's outline, this book has to be written as a huge compilation of more than one million words.

Lao Dao understands, but he doesn't quite understand how to operate.

So Li Xiao told them the copyright, and Li Xiao's list of gods could be serialized in the newspaper, and then Lou Guandao could buy the publishing copyright, and buy the copyright to print it into a book for sale.

"How do you buy copyright?" Yin Laodao asked, he didn't bother with the question of why he wanted to buy copyrights. He looked at the essence of the problem, the book worked for him, he wanted it, and then it was legitimate to give some money. As for how, it doesn't really matter.

Li Xiao thought for a while and said, "The quality of this book must be understood by the Taoist chief, how about you read a thousand words and a hundred?" ”

"A thousand words?" Yin Laodao asked with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiao was shocked. One hundred words... Pass through? Yin Laodao is really ruthless, and he didn't dare to ask for such a price.

"A thousand words." Li Xiao corrected.

Yin Laodao shook his head, "That's too low, the scribes invited by our sect and saint view are the price of 100 words for 100 words, and that's just copying books." And you're writing a book, how can it be the same? ”

"A thousand words?" Li Xiao raised the price.

"A thousand words is not too much." Yin Lao Dao is not bad for money, it is really not bad for money, Louguan Dao is not only Chang'an's Zongsheng Temple, in fact, there are also their Louguan Tai in Zhongnan Mountain, which is the base camp, in addition to many famous mountains and rivers in the world, Louguan Dao has also built a lot of Taoist temples over the years, in addition to the operation of several generations of Louguan Taoist chiefs, now many Taoist temples of various factions in the world have joined their Louguan Taoist alliance.

As a Louguan Dao respected by the imperial court, Taoist temples are all over the world, not to mention a thousand, but there are always hundreds of Taoist temples. And every Taoist temple is actually a manor, with mountains, forests, fields, tenants and even slaves, and they even run a pledge business, that is, mortgage loans.

If you want money, you have money, and you want people.

Ten thousand words, that ten years is just ten dollars, not a dime.

Li Xiao thought for a while, "That's three thousand words, and after the book is published, it will be ten percent!" ”

Three thousand words, that is already the price of top platinum in later generations.

Originally, after the buyout of 1,000 words and 3,000 words, he should not take the publication share, but Li Xiao felt that he would be unhappy if he didn't take Yin Laodao.

"Three hundredths divided." Yin Laodao really took the initiative to increase his share.

This three percent is the net profit sharing after publication, Yin Laodao is the publisher, the book is handed over to the printing bureau for printing, and then sold, after making money, Li Xiao and Lou Guandao are divided into three or seven, of course, the manuscript fee of three thousand words is taken before the sharing.

With such favorable conditions, Li Xiao felt a little embarrassed.

But Yin Laodao doesn't care about that money, what he cares about is Li Xiao's identity, Li Xiao is not only a book writer, he is also the secretary of the imperial court, the corn supervisor, and the acting Wang You, and he is also a founding county, and he is also the emperor's auspicious favorite minister, not to mention that he is now in charge of the printing bureau.

Besides, the god list is indeed worth the price.

"By the way, our Chang'an News is the first newspaper in Datang, and when it is published, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world, we have reserved an advertising space in the newspaper, does Yin Daochang want to buy an advertising space?" Li Xiao asked with a smile.

Yin Wencao stroked his beard, "Advertising space in the newspaper? Tell me about it! ”
