Chengdu is searching for members of the Thang Long Society, but Xiao Luan is not far away, she is in Xipu.

Ordinary people would never have dreamed that the head of the Shenglong Society, which dared to loot the officials of the imperial court, was actually a young girl who looked like a fairy.

Chongrenfang, which is only one street away from the Yamen of Xipu County, is built in a two-entry courtyard near the river, the evergreen vines are wrapped around the rockery, the orchids under the rockery are as dark green as the color, and in the small pond next to it, the lotus flowers bloom like Xizi and are enchanting.

In the small pavilion near the pool, two maids paved paper and served ink, Xiao Luan combed the flying hoof, wore a long skirt with a corseted chest, and the hem of the open cardigan was tied in the long skirt under the chest.

She wrote a few columns of soft and rigid lines on red paper: the stone path of the cold mountain is slanted in the distance, and there are people in the depths of the white clouds. Parking sits in love with the maple forest in the evening, and the frost leaves are red in February.

The ink is like a cloud, the pen is closed and the rhyme is not finished, just like the white clouds in early autumn outside the wall, elegant, elegant, and unrestrained.

Xiao Luan was born in the Xiao clan of Lanling and was a relative of the former Empress Xiao of Sui. His mentor is Yang Jinse, the granddaughter of Yang Su.

At that time, Yang Jinse followed the former Sui Yicheng princess into the Turks and plotted to fight against Li Tang with the power of the Turks. Later, Princess Yicheng was captured and died, and the former Empress Xiao of Sui was also brought into the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Jinse was unwilling to do so, and joined hands with the remnants to secretly return to the Central Plains, waiting for an opportunity to subvert Li Tang, but he was defeated by the general trend of the torrent and ended dismally.

At the beginning of the first century, after a series of setbacks, Yang Jinse, who was over eighty years old, entered Shu and became the female champion in Chengdu Qingyang, and later accepted Xiao Luan as a disciple at the age of 126.

With the forces brought into Shuzhong, Yang Jinse established the Shenglong Society, opened a business in Jinli, Chengdu, and used its Tibetan and Turkic relations to do business. There are Shu brocade, tea and salt trade. And set up a cabinet shop in the land of Sichuan and Shu to hoard money.

It's just that the shops in various places are entrusted to different people, except for Xiao Luan and Tennazhong, and even the helmsmen of each state don't know which business in other states is the property of the Thang Long Society.

The Thang Long Society's business to accumulate wealth is mainly to prepare for the subversion of Li Tang. But since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Datang has become increasingly prosperous and powerful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The Tang army went on an expedition of thousands of miles, and the front of the troops reached the Hezhong region.

Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to subvert Li Tang.

What's more, Xiao Luan is a daughter, and her desire for meritorious deeds is not strong, but in addition to the difficulty of disobeying the master's fate, there are also several elders of the Shenglong Society who are forced to push, so that she has embarked on this road step by step.

Xiao Luan put down his pen and closed his eyes, hoping that his thoughts could wander in the artistic conception of the poem for a longer time. She was really tired inside.

The white clouds outside the wall gradually faded away, and a clear autumn came.

Leon, who the hell is this? Xiao Luan used a lot of manpower from the Shenglong Society, but he didn't even find out where Li Ang came from.

He made refined salt, created a new model of agent sales, and turned his hands into clouds and rain in officialdom in various places, and his methods were dizzying.

Now back in Xipu. He is obviously not idle, this "Huanhuaxi Poetry Collection" contains twenty poems. It is so beautiful that it is intoxicating, Xiao Luan believes that it will not be long before this Huanhuaxi monk will be famous all over the world.

What was Leon's intention in doing this?

He asked a woman in a green house to explain the scriptures and history to him, which was like child's play.

From this point of view. He should have no intention of taking the imperial examination, otherwise he should be under the famous teacher, which is right.

Xiao Luan thought about it, she believed that Li Ang's seemingly random actions must have other intentions. It's definitely not just about making a name for the sake of a book of poetry.

At this time, a maid hurriedly came in from the front yard and saluted Xiao Luan: "Lady, I have inquired, that Li Ang is now recruiting Shangxi villagers to set up a printing workshop;

According to the news we inquired, Li Ang seems to have some way to greatly reduce the cost of printing, and the price of the books printed in Shangxi Village is only about 30% of that of other printing workshops. ”

"Is that so?" Xiao Luan thought for a while and said, "Hurry up and prepare the car, I'm going to Shangxi Village." ”

"Yes, lady."

Xiao Luan went out in a carriage not far away, he heard the sound of firecrackers, and when he looked closer, he saw that a bookstore was opening, and the plaque read: Shangxi Village Bookstore.

In front of the bookstore, there were already many people watching the excitement.

"Stop! Stop it! ”

Xiao Luan got out of the car and walked over. The enthusiastic shopkeeper immediately greeted him and said, "This lady, welcome to our store." ”

Xiao Luan took a look, what kind of bookstore is this, there are only two books on the face, one is ridiculously expensive, and the other is ridiculously cheap.

The "Huanhuaxi Poetry Collection" with a price tag of 50 yuan was placed high at the top of the bookshelf, and he couldn't reach it. The cover is a small scene of willows and Qingjiang, thatched huts and distant mountains, and the title is the "quatrain": two yellow orioles singing green willows, a line of egrets on the blue sky, the window contains a thousand autumn snow in Xiling, and the door is berthed in the Dongwu Wanli boat.

The shopkeeper saw Xiao Luan looking at the "Huanhuaxi Poetry Collection" at the top of the bookshelf, and immediately explained: "This little lady, this "Huanhuaxi Poetry Collection" is the treasure of the small store, so I refuse to read it, if you want to see it, you have to pay for it first." ”

Xiao Luan knew as soon as he heard it, this must be another rule set by Li Ang, the "Quatrain" on the cover is attractive enough, but he doesn't let you look at it, if you want to know what kind of poems are included in it, you can only pay for it first.

But the book sold for a high price of 50 yuan, and there are certainly not many people who are really willing to sell it, but the more this happens, the more people talk about it, and the fame spreads faster.

While lamenting Li Ang's strange thoughts, Xiao Luan couldn't help but secretly laugh. But then again, for those who love poetry, the poems included in it are indeed worth spending fifty times to buy.

"Shopkeeper, your bookstore is so big, are there only these two books?" Xiao Luan casually picked up the book "Thousand Character Text", which was only one-third of the price of other bookstores, which was very cheap.

"No, little lady, you are wrong, our store has everything in the book, and the price is only half of that of other bookstores, or even lower."

There was no need for Xiao Luan to ask, the other people who poured into the bookstore to see the novelty had already preemptively asked: "Shopkeeper, where are your books, what's the use of just talking about cheap, why don't you put them out." ”

"Everyone, please see, this is the list of books in our store, and the price." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he pulled lightly, and a long strip fell on the beam, which was full of rows of book titles, such as "Tao Te Ching", "Book of Songs", and "Water Note Sutra", each title is marked with what paper is used, and the price, it seems that all kinds of books are indeed more than half cheaper than those in other bookstores.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the books in our store are all published by Shangxi Village Printing Workshop, with quality assurance and preferential prices. In addition, our store is newly opened, and there is an opening reward event, so if you place an order now, you can also enjoy a discount of 10%. ”

"Shopkeeper, aren't you telling us, are you really selling your books so cheap?"

"yes, yes, it can't be a typo."

"This noble man looked at what you said, our store is open for business, and what we pay attention to is integrity. The signboard of Shangxi Village Printing Workshop, we are also ready to let him resound throughout the Tang Dynasty, how can we visit all the nobles? If there is a typo, you bring it, we will refund the full amount, and pay you a good copy. ”

"Really, then I'll order one copy of the Tao Te Ching, Huainanzi, and the university."

"And me!"

"And me, and me!"

“…………”

Seeing that it is so cheap, many people who are worried about not being able to buy books can't help but be tempted and go up to order them.
