Chapter 198 Half a catty
Gao Sheng couldn't wait for the bookstore to open, the emperor and Lao'er had spoken, and the affairs of the bookstore could only be handled by Li Mingyue.
According to Li Zhi's conditions, movable type printing in Chang'an City was operated by Li Mingyue and Gao Sheng, and outside Chang'an City, movable type printing was all government-run.
Within this condition, the two were given a great deal of freedom to print, and as long as there were no anti-books to encourage the people to rebel, in addition to printing the books designated by the government, the rest of the printing was decided by the two themselves.
Printing designated books for the government can only keep the bookstore running, and in order to make money, you still have to print some books that meet the market demand, or something else.
The conditions of the emperor Lao'er also limited the scale of the bookstore, and if he wanted to make a lot of money, he had to think of a way in terms of content and sales.
It's not early, Li Mingyue is always a girl's family and doesn't want to stay in Gaofu, she and Gao Sheng are nothing, I'm afraid that outsiders will chew their tongues, and the impact on Li Mingyue and Zheng Wangfu is not good.
After sending Li Mingyue away and having dinner, Gao Sheng locked himself in his bedroom and thought about how to run the bookstore and how to run it to maximize the interests of the bookstore.
Even though movable type printing reduces the cost, books are still more expensive than ordinary people.
As long as the bookstore operates in the situation of books, don't want to reduce costs, let alone reduce the price, so as to enjoy the public.
That's the problem!
Gao Sheng, a traveler, has a lot of cultural resources, the least TV series he watched in his previous life, various online articles, and a lot, and he generally remembers the content, and the part he doesn't remember makes up for it, which is enough to make this era of lack of spiritual enjoyment tremble.
Spiritual enjoyment is not the exclusive product of the aristocracy, and it is not impossible to publish books, but it is not practical, because the audience of books is only the aristocratic class, and the radiation is not ordinary people.
So after thinking about it, when it was time to be a child, he finally thought of a way to take care of both the upper and lower levels - to run a newspaper.
Ignoring the dead of night at the moment, he immediately called the maid on duty at night to prepare the four treasures of the study, and used the pen he made to write down all kinds of matters related to running a newspaper crookedly.
After tossing and turning all night, it was only in the early hours of the morning that he wrote the pattern and operation of the newspaper clearly.
At dawn the next day, Gao Sheng was still in his sleep to let the newspaper show his strength, making Datang tremble under the obscene power of the newspaper, and the housekeeper Sun Youfu knocked on his door, and he could only get up with bloodshot eyes.
Seeing Gao Sheng's gloomy face, the housekeeper Sun Youfu knew that he was going to be unlucky, and before Gao Sheng's attack, he said: "Master, Shao Langjun of the Lu Guogong Mansion is here, saying that there is a big matter to discuss with the master." ”
Gao Sheng was obviously stunned, suddenly remembered something, hurriedly raised his hand and patted his head, and said angrily: "My memory is really eaten by dogs." ”
After that, without waiting for Sun Youfu to react, he hurriedly walked out of the bedroom and walked briskly towards the front hall.
Gao Sheng came to the front hall with a tired face, and saw Cheng Chubi rubbing his hands and feet in the front hall, pacing back and forth.
Seeing him appear, Cheng Chubi hurriedly greeted him, and said hurriedly: "Third brother, after leaving the palace yesterday, I didn't go with you, and when I returned to the hero mahjong hall, I found that there were more than 30 tailors recruited by the brothers, and I settled these tailors, and I couldn't find you, and the drum that closed the door sounded again, so I could only come to the third brother early this morning, and ask the third brother to go to the hero mahjong hall to talk to these tailors." ”
That's what Gao Sheng forgot, the tailor.
"Let's go, you and I will enter Chang'an City together and return to the Hero Mahjong Hall." Gao Sheng hurriedly said.
"In such a hurry?" Cheng Chubi was slightly stunned.
"It's a long story, the third brother will talk to you on the way." Gao Sheng said as he walked out.
Cheng Chubi didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed him.
The housekeeper Sun Youfu saw Gao Sheng's hurried look, knowing that he was in a hurry, he arrived outside the hospital early and prepared the carriage.
When Sun Youfu brought the carriage with half a catty set of miscellaneous horses, Gao Sheng frowned slightly, and he couldn't care so much.
Cheng Chubi knew that he was going to rush to the hero mahjong parlor, and said: "Third brother, it's still fast to ride a horse, and the speed of riding a car is not as fast as riding a horse!" ”
Gao Sheng rolled his eyes and said, "Take the car, this is the taste of the third brother, understand?" ”
In fact, this guy doesn't know how to ride a horse at all, well, nicknamed Falling on a Horse.
Cheng Chubi was puzzled for a while, the third brother was good, but this taste made people disagree, making such an ugly horse-drawn carriage ...... Wait, isn't this the miscellaneous horse that you use to pull horse feed at home?
"Blessed, go to the Zhengwang Courtyard in Shanghe Village, inform the county lord of Shanghe that I have something urgent to discuss with her, and ask her to go to the hero mahjong hall in Chang'an Pingkang to find me."
Before Gao Sheng got into the carriage, he didn't forget to explain to the housekeeper Sun Youfu.
Sun Youfu hurriedly responded.
At this time, Cheng Chubi had already ridden the horse and was waiting for Gao Sheng to accompany him.
Gao Sheng looked at half a catty, there is no wine today, so I don't know if I can control this miscellaneous beast.
Gao Sheng sat in the carriage and muttered to half a catty, saying, "Half a catty, half a catty, if you behave well today, I will drink half a catty of wine with you when I come back." ”
Half Jin seemed to understand his words, snorted, hissed, and stepped on the stiff ground with his front hooves continuously, looking ready to fight hard.
Half a catty's reaction made Gao Sheng a little stunned, and he was not ready to flick the reins and gallop the horse, half a catty suddenly galloped with four hooves without warning, and a huge forward inertia came, directly overturning Gao Sheng who was sitting in the carriage.
Under the pull of half a catty, the carriage rushed out directly, raising countless dust, and the speed was so fast that it made people deceive, leaving Cheng Chubi behind in an instant.
When Cheng Chubi reacted, half a catty pulled Gao Sheng and ran far away.
Cheng Chubi hurriedly rode his horse and galloped, chasing the fast-moving carriage.
The speed of the half-catty run is getting faster and faster, the village road is bumpy, potholes, because the speed of progress is too fast, the wheels of the carriage are suspended from time to time, and they are about to fall apart.
Fortunately, the housekeeper Sun Youfu put a lot of cotton wool on the carriage, otherwise the road would be bumpy, and Gao Sheng would not only have to fall apart, but I am afraid that the inventory in his stomach would be turned upside down.
As soon as he left the village, Cheng Chubi was even more surprised.
Half a catty pulls the carriage and the high rise on the carriage, which is actually comparable to the speed of his horse, so that he desperately spurs the horse under his crotch, and always keeps a certain distance from the carriage, and he can't catch up at all.
Halfway through, Cheng Chubi was even more calm, half a catty pulled the high rise on the carriage, the speed was getting faster and faster, Cheng Chubi was playing hard to chase after him at the moment, and he could only follow from a distance, seeing the dust raised by the four hooves and the wheels of the carriage.
And the distance between the two seems to be getting farther and farther away.
Cheng Chubi wanted to cry, the horse under his crotch was a good horse brought back by his father from the Western Regions, and it had always been his pride to crush the mounts of the nobles and sons of the clan in Chang'an City.
Unexpectedly, today, I actually gave an underage miscellaneous horse, pulling a cart and one person, not counting the lag behind, and with the passage of time and distance, it is getting farther and farther.
If he had known that his miscellaneous horse was so capable of running, he would not have let Lao Cheng give it to Gao Sheng, and he would have used it to pull the cart.
Pulling a cart is such a way to destroy a good horse, and the third brother actually uses it like this, it's really infuriating......
