63, to the emperor (middle)

Li Shimin was worried because his poetry collection was unsalable, and Jingwen was very helpless. This collection of Li Shimin's poems also has no special features, how can those readers buy it. And Jingwen can be sure that as long as Li Shimin discloses that this "Ji'an Poetry Collection" is Li Shimin's poem, then I am afraid that many sycophants in the world will come over to buy it. But what Li Shimin wants is not this kind of hot sale, if he uses the emperor's reputation to let the people below buy it, then Li Shimin really has no face. Li Shimin's poetry collection is to have face, but if those authorities are used to make everyone buy it, then Li Shimin's reputation among students will be completely stinky! As an emperor who wants to have a so-called so-called, of course he can't do that.

The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the deaths of the ministers, although it has not yet reached the point of death, but Jingwen also feels Li Shimin's disappointment. Jingwen knew that his chance to pat himself on the back had come again.

As Jing Wen, in later life, I read a book about sycophants, which said that directly saying flattery is actually the worst way to shoot horses. The best way to pat yourself on the back is to make sure that the leader can't find out that you're making a sycophant, and that's the best. Therefore, Jingwen is now going to pat himself on the back and help Li Shimin solve this trouble.

"Zhu Yu, you go and help me do one thing in a few days, and if you do this well, I will give you a raise." Jingwen said.

The "editor-in-chief" Zhu Yu asked, "Okay! ”

"This is like this......" Jingwen said.

Zhu Yu was puzzled: "Dongjia, who is this Ji'an?" Letting you do that? ”

"It doesn't matter who you are, you just need to get things done." Jingwen said.

A few days later, a well-mannered man came to Moxiang Books, the largest bookstore in Chang'an.

"Childe, what are you looking for?" The bookstore owner asked.

"Boss, do you have any "Ji'an Poems" here?" The boy said.

The owner of the bookstore shook his head and said, "The Ji'an poetry collection has been taken off the shelves, and we don't sell it here." Let's take a look at something else, there are Kong Yingda's Five Classics of Justice, as well as Lord Yu Shinan's calligraphy, and even Lord Pei Ju's books on the customs of the Western Regions, do you want anything else? These are the best-selling new books in recent times, not too many! ”

But the boy shook his head and said, "I just want a collection of Ji'an poems, since you don't have one here, then I'll go somewhere else to see." ”

"Childe, if you want a collection of Ji'an poems, I don't have it here, and I won't have it anywhere else. This Ji'an poetry collection is not easy to sell, and the poems are not very distinctive, so why do you need it? The bookstore owner said.

Childe replied: "Turnip greens, each has his own love." If you don't appreciate Ji'an's poetry collection, that's because you don't know how to appreciate it. And this Ji'an is a great poet in my eyes, and it is worth collecting! ”

After the boy finished speaking, he immediately left the Moxiang Book House. This situation made the owner of Moxiang Bookstore scratch his head, obviously not knowing why this son wanted to read this "Ji'an Poetry Collection". This "Ji'an Poetry Collection" has been recognized by many people, and it is not an excellent poetry collection. There are not many features in the whole collection of poems, they are all ordinary verses. But there is something strange in this, first of all, Jingwen, who supplied them, actually asked them to do their best to promote it. But the results were promoted, but it had no effect. As a businessman, of course, you must focus on profit, and since this Ji'an poetry collection does not have good sales, it is naturally impossible to continue to promote it vigorously. But now there are people who want to buy it, which makes the bookstore owner a little puzzled.

"Boss, is there a collection of Ji'an poems here?" Another boy walked in and asked.

The boss said, "Childe, there is no Ji'an poetry collection here. Ji'an Poetry Collection is not a very distinctive poetry collection, why do you want to buy it? ”

But the boy said, "I have been famous for a long time, but I have never been able to see his poetry collection." Now that he's out a book of poems, I'm naturally going to come over and buy it! Many people don't know how to appreciate his poems, because their minds are too low, so they can't appreciate the beauty of Ji'an's poems. Now that Ji'an has published a poetry collection, I naturally want to buy it! ”

"Childe, there is no Ji'an poetry collection here, do you want to read other books?" The bookstore owner asked.

Hearing this, Childe shook his head and said, "I just want to read Ji'an's poetry collection, since you don't have it here, let's take a look at the differences." ”

That boy is gone, which makes the bookstore owner even more confused, who is this Ji'an, and someone actually came to find his poetry collection? And then, no less than a dozen people kept coming to find this Ji'an poem. And it's not just Moxiang Bookstore that has this situation, many bookstores in Chang'an City have this happening. Many people came to find a book called "Ji'an Poetry Collection", but all major bookstores took it off the shelves because this "Ji'an Poetry Collection" was not easy to sell. But now a lot of people are looking for it, which makes the owners of those bookstores a little confused.

Seeing this, the bookstore owner knew about the severity of the problem. With the bookstore owner's years of experience, he could see at a glance that there was a problem here. Although he didn't know what the conspiracy was here, he just knew that someone wanted this "Ji'an Poetry Collection", and since someone wanted it, then hurry up and buy it! Some people are panicking when they have a lot of money, so why stop it? Therefore, Moxiang Book House first entered twenty copies of "Ji'an Poetry Collection", wanting to test the water.

As a result, the twenty copies of the "Ji'an Poetry Collection" were sold out in less than two hours. The owner of the bookstore immediately went to stock up on another twenty copies, and in another hour, the "Ji'an Poetry Collection" was sold out. Moreover, this wave of rushing to buy "Ji'an Poetry Collection" is still increasing, and it seems that more and more people want to snap up this "Ji'an Poetry Collection". And many bookstores have gone to buy goods, because there are big people who have rushed to buy them, why don't they make this money?

Soon, all the "Ji'an Poetry Collections" on the market fell into a situation where demand outstripped supply, and every time they were restocked, they were quickly sold out. Later, those bosses were all in batches of 100 copies, but they could only last for one day, and they were snapped up. Therefore, those bookstore owners knew that the opportunity to make a big profit was coming, and they all started to buy them.

Jingwen saw this situation in the market and thought to himself: "The situation has been arranged, so let's go and invite Li Shimin, the emperor with excessive vanity, to come over and have a look." ”
