Chapter 11 Publication of Books

Shen Ze is very proud of having a smart head!

When Shen Ze was investigating just now, Gao Ying had been watching. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info she saw that Shen Ze just glanced at the deceased a few times, and then talked eloquently about analyzing the causes and consequences, which made Qian Yuanwai completely convinced, and she was also very surprised, she didn't expect Shen Ze to really investigate the case!

After sending away the money clerk, Zhang Zhixian politely thanked Shen Ze, and talked with him for a while, and expressed his appreciation for him, of course, just appreciation.

Shen Ze was very depressed because he didn't get any actual benefits from Zhang Zhixian!

The only good thing is probably that next time I go to the county government to fight a lawsuit, Zhang Zhixian will take care of him a little!

But this is the only benefit, Shen Ze doesn't want to use it when he is killed, who the~ always likes to go to the county government to fight a lawsuit, and I'm not a lawsuit!

"I didn't expect you to investigate the case?" Gao Ying's eyes flickered, and he didn't know whether it was an admiring gaze or a defensive gaze?

"I'll have a lot of stuff!"

"Then you are not only a talented bad scholar, but also a smart talented bad scholar, then I should follow you even more to prevent you from doing bad things! Smart and talented people do bad things, and they do more harm! ”

"Uh......" Shen Ze was really speechless, how could he meet such a woman-

…………

Fuxue Street, as the name suggests, is the street in front of Fuxue Palace.

Fuxue Street is leaning on Fuxue Palace, and most of the shops on the natural street are mainly engaged in the business of stationery, which is a very cultural street.

Shen Ze strolled through the streets, feeling the smell of books and ink, while looking for a suitable bookstore.

Soon, Shen Ze found that a bookstore called Wenhui Bookstore was quite suitable. The reason why he thinks it is suitable is mainly because Shen Ze feels that this bookstore is more powerful.

The location of Wenhui Bookstore is very good, located diagonally opposite the Fuxue Palace, and the store is very open, occupying several doors.

That's it!

At that moment, Shen Ze stepped into this bookstore. Gao Ying naturally followed closely and followed Shen Ze into the bookstore.

The inside of Wenhui Bookstore is very spacious, and it is a spacious hall with three bays.

On the left hand side of the door, there are all kinds of stationery supplies, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, cutter, paperweight, pen wash, pen holder, pen grid, etc., all of which are readily available.

On the right hand side, there are all kinds of beautifully printed books, including four books and five classics, legends, poetry collections, and current collections.

In the store, a young man wearing a Confucian shirt who looked very capable and neat saw Shen Ze and the others coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "The two distinguished guests are coming to the shelter, do you want to pick up some stationery supplies, or buy a few books of current literature to see?" ”

Shen Ze smiled and said: "If you don't buy anything, if you have something to do with your shopkeeper, can you bother the little brother to report it?" ”

The young man originally saw that Shen Ze and the others were both richly dressed, and he thought that he had come to a big business, but he didn't expect that he was just looking for his own shopkeeper, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

However, the young man saw that Shen Ze and the others had extraordinary bearings, but he didn't dare to slack off. At the moment, he said: "The shopkeeper is busy in the backyard printing workshop, I don't know what is the matter with the guest looking for the shopkeeper?" The villain is good to report! ”

"I want to publish a book!"

When the young man heard Shen Ze say that he wanted to publish a book, his eyes couldn't help but light up, this is a business to send a lot of silver, and it is very expensive to print books in this era.

At that moment, the young man immediately ran to the backyard to invite his own shopkeeper, this is a big customer, can't be lazy!

…………

In the flower hall in the back hall of Wenhui Bookstore, Shen Ze was talking about the book he was about to publish.

"Feeling the opening of Pangu, the rule of the three emperors, the five emperors Dinglun, between the world, it is divided into four continents: Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Continent, South Ganbu Continent, North Julu Continent............ In Dongsheng Shenzhou Haidong, there is an Aolai country, there is a Huaguo Mountain in the Aolai country, there is a fairy stone on the Huaguo Mountain, it is said that this fairy stone is a spiritual stone left by Nuwa Niangniang to make up the sky, the spirit stone absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and gives birth to a stone monkey. On this day, the stone monkey absorbs the aura of the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon to reach saturation, so it jumps out of the spirit stone, this jump is a hundred zhang high, surrounded by colorful auspicious clouds in an instant, and the bullfighting ...... angrily"

Combined with the original book and the plot of the TV series, coupled with the first episode of "Journey to the West" performed by Shen Ze himself, he was spit and impassioned.

Gao Ying and the shopkeeper Zhou of Wenhui Bookstore were fascinated by it, and they couldn't stop shooting the case!

"Shopkeeper Zhou, print 3,000 copies of this "Journey to the West" first, and we will divide the account in four or six, how about you and me?"

"Okay, no problem!"

Shopkeeper Zhou picked up the abacus, crackled and fought, and after a while, he calculated the number, and said to Shen Ze: "It costs about five hundred and twenty taels of silver to print three thousand copies, so let's do it, I will come out with a fraction, and Shen Gongzi, you can give three hundred taels of silver!" ”

"What...... You demanded that I pay three hundred taels of silver...... Please, I'm selling my copyright, okay, is there a mistake? This book is going to be a big seller, and the money is a lot of money! ”

What are you kidding, when I talk to four or six points, I mean that you have to make money and four or six points, okay? You and I split the printing cost...... Shen Ze was very depressed.

In fact, Shen Ze had already inquired about it, and the algorithm of the shopkeeper Zhou was relatively normal in Daming now. In this era, the literati published books, which was also an important means of fame. Ordinary literati want to publish books, and most of them really have to pay their own money for printing, of course, famous people, naturally say otherwise.

Publishing a book is a relatively expensive thing in this era. In this era, if you want to publish a collection of poems or anthologies, the printing cost is very high, and the cost of engraving alone is very high.

Although movable type printing was invented hundreds of years ago, it was far from being accepted at this time. Wooden movable type is not used, copper movable type is too expensive, and lead movable type has not yet been invented, so the printing of movable type is not practical today. Moreover, movable type printing is far less exquisite than that of engraving printing, and is not accepted by literati who love elegance. Shen Ze remembered that it seemed that movable type printing was not widely accepted until the Republic of China ~ period, when Western lead movable type was popularized.

Ordinary literati are not so famous, and if they publish a collection of poems or current writings, it is very likely that the printed books will not be sold, and it is easy to make ends meet, so ordinary bookstores will not fund the printing.

In this era, it is not so easy to make money by publishing books. Of course, most of the literati in this era did not intend to make money by publishing books, most of them did it to make fame.

But Shen Ze obviously didn't want to make a name for himself, but had a clear purpose, and this purpose was naturally to make money.

Shen Ze's "Journey to the West" is definitely going to be a big hit, if this kind of elegance and vulgarity are appreciated, this novel naturally cannot be compared with those ordinary literati's poetry collections or anthologies, and the audience is obviously much larger, which is obviously going to be a hot seller, and it will definitely make a lot of money.

Shen Ze said to the shopkeeper Zhou very calmly: "You pay all the printing fees, and we will earn four or six points of silver from selling books!" If you can't do it, pull it down, and I'll go to another house! ”

"It's not in order!"

Shen Ze turned around and was about to leave...... Walked resolutely......

"Shen Gongzi stays, so be it, as you said, I will pay all the printing fees, but if I make money, I will take sixty percent!"

Obviously, Shopkeeper Zhou also saw a huge business opportunity for this book.

Shen Ze didn't stop...... I was about to step out of the door......

"I pay for the printing fee, and I can't pay less."

"Okay, deal! Sign the contract! ”

…………

Shen Ze is in a good mood!

It is foreseeable that the big sales of "Journey to the West" are inevitable, and Shen Ze is still very confident in the four famous novels.

Of course, Shen Ze's happiness was mainly because he was about to earn a lot of money.

Shen Ze felt that it seemed that the release of "Dream of Red Mansions" should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Although this is a very memorable thing, it seems that Shen Ze, who has watched the TV series many times and is still a college student in the Chinese department, can still complete the task. I really can't remember the content of the book, so I will make it up according to the plot of the TV series!

Shen Ze was in a good mood, and he didn't hate the tigress who followed his buttocks. Besides, when the tigress listened to herself talk about "Journey to the West" just now, the pink palm she slapped was red, and I have to say that the shopkeeper Zhou agreed to print it, and the tigress's hard work in the case was amazing, and it also played such a small role.

"What have you been following me for? Even though I'm handsome, I don't like the way you pursue me! ”

"Phew, narcissistic stinking sour! I followed you because smart and talented bad people did bad things, and the consequences were serious! So I'm going to follow you, in case you do something bad! ”

"First of all, I'm not poor, because I'm going to be rich soon. Besides, I'm a good person, so why do you say I'm a bad person? ”

"Why should a good man be an accomplice of thieves and thieves?"

"I'm not an accomplice of thieves, my money was stolen by that thief!"

"Then why didn't you not only help me catch the thief, but also secretly make the stumbling block help the thief escape?"

"Didn't I say it, I didn't mean to!"

"Then why did the county judge you to pay me for the cost of soup and medicine!"

"Uh......"

Shen Ze rolled his eyes and almost fainted!

defeated, Shen Ze was completely defeated by this woman!

Shen Ze found that he was wrong from the beginning, a woman is not an animal who can reason with her at all!

…………

Haidai Street, Tianxiang Building.

Shen Ze feasted on the table full of delicacies, and of course Gao Ying, who was sitting opposite him, was not slow to eat at all.

Soon, Shen Ze hiccuped.

"Xiao Er, my son is full, pack this untouched Texas grilled chicken for me, and let this girl pay for the silver?"

"Why do I pay? Are you embarrassed to let me pay a woman for money? ”

"Then may I ask Miss Gao, do you think I will have the money to pay the bill? The fifteen taels of silver I have have are now in your arms. ”

"But you said you had a treat!"

"Yes, I'll treat you to pay! You eat slowly, eat and drink well, this son will go first! ”

Gao Ying wanted to catch up with Shen Ze, but looking at the table full of delicacies, she couldn't bear to waste it, this was what she paid, so she couldn't help but sit down hatefully and continue to fight with the dishes on the table.
