I returned to the hall from Liu's Mansion and didn't say anything all night. The next day, Fang Yingwu went to the Ministry of Rites. After his father came out, it was still two to say whether he would stay in Beijing or not, so he had to hurry up and get things done quickly.

In front of the ceremonial department outside the Daming Gate, Fang Yingwu reported his name and asked to see the book of the Ministry of Rites. He is more or less famous, and he is the son of Ji Jishi, and he is a fellow villager in the province of Zou Gan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so the door official hesitated for a while and went to report.

After a while, there were still only two cold words in reply—no.

Fang Yingwu was really a little annoyed, the last time he first arrived in the capital, he had visited Zou Shangshu with hope, but he was indifferently rejected, and this time it was the same!

If it was obvious that he came to see him for his father's affairs last time, Zou Shangshu had some concerns, and because of his humble status, he refused to see him, which is understandable, and he can't complain about anything. This time, when he commissioned the message, he made it clear that it was not his father's business to come for other things, but he was still so indifferent.

This can only show that he is still very sensitive to his identity, so he would rather not see it. It makes sense to think about it, even if Liu Ji wants to see him, it's all secret.

Fang Yingwu had no choice but to take out Liu Ji's handwritten letter and hand it to the door official, here is a letter from a nobleman, bothering you to transfer it to Zou Shangshu.

The doorman took it in disbelief and went in again to report. Not long after this time, a word came from inside, asking Fang Yingwu to go to Shangshu.

Fang Yingwu followed the servants through the front hall and came to the main hall of the backyard, where Zou Laoshangshu, who was over sixty years old, was sitting upright in the hall to look at things.

After Fang Yingwu saw the ceremony, Zou Shangshu did not greet politely, and asked directly: "Elder Liu Ge said in the letter. Ask me to help you with a small thing, I don't know what? ”

Fang Yingwu replied: "I heard that the test paper of the current department is still stored in the Ministry of Rites. In the evening, I want to find someone to copy a copy for daily speculation. ”

As soon as the exam results are out. All the test papers are not confidential, and it is not a problem to copy them, but most people can't get into the Ministry of Rites.

Zou Shangshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was just this matter, so it would not be embarrassing. He Zhishi has been in the past two years, and he just wants to get through it safely and without disaster, and he really doesn't want to cause any trouble.

He thought again, since his benefactor Liu Ge Lao sent a message to him to be accommodating, he just did it. However, Liu Ge also said it in the letter. Don't reveal to the public that he asked Fang Yingwu to come, and it seems that he is also very cautious.

Thinking of this, Zou Shangshu agreed: "This official has instructed the door official and the treasury official today, if you bring a bookseller, just let the door official lead you to the treasury." ”

After getting the promise, Fang Yingwu felt that he really had nothing to say to Zou Shangshu, who was not close to people, and he was too lazy to climb his fellow villagers, so he said goodbye.

Then Fang Yingwu went to the Zhongyi Bookstore and entered the front shop hall. But I saw three of my own poems hanging on the wall, two of which were poems of loyalty and righteousness in praise of my father, and one was a reading poem that congratulated the opening of the school yesterday.

Fang Yingwu immediately felt that this Yao Qian was quite good at being a man

But Mr. Yao was not at the front desk. Fang Yingwu found Yao Qian in the printing room in the back yard and informed him of the matter.

Yao Qian was overjoyed with this good news. Last night, he pondered for a night, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the anthology of printing eight strands of literature was very promising. If it is to break new ground in the printing industry. As a businessman, it is also very rewarding if it is done.

But he didn't expect it. Fang Yingwu was so neat that he was separated at noon yesterday. Telling him everything was okay at noon today, which was too fast.

If you can bring in a university scholar to do it, it will be easier to copy a few copies and try the paper

Of course, Fang Yingwu wouldn't tell him the inside story first, but only asked Yao Qian to prepare some skilled calligraphers, and then without further ado, he went to the Ministry of Rites to start copying the test papers and came back.

Yao Qian said decisively: "Okay! This afternoon, I will gather the bookkeepers, and at this time I will put aside everything else, and I will do my best to do this as soon as possible! ”

While handing over to the steward to go down and arrange, he kept Fang Yingwu to eat and drink, "Yesterday I wanted to leave Fang Gongzi alone, but Fang Gongzi refused, and I must appreciate it today." ”

Fang Yingwu considered that since it had been carried out to this point, some detailed issues had to be determined, and he should have an in-depth discussion with Yao Qian, so he agreed.

In the afternoon, they drank tea in the bookstore, and near evening, Fang Yingwu and Yao Qian went to the restaurant and chose a clean and private room, in order to make it easier to speak.

Waiting for the wine and food, Yao Qian opened his mouth first: "The people here don't have much knowledge. When I went to copy the test papers, I still had to work hard for Fang Gongzi to go to the Ministry of Rites with the bookkeeper for the first time or two, otherwise I was afraid that they would be difficult to cope. After a few days, Fang Gongzi will not have to bow down to everything. ”

"That's as it should be." Fang Yingwu agreed, but he was also worried that Yao Qian would directly throw him off and go it alone after he went on the road, and said very mysteriously: "I also invited an important minister at the level of a scholar in the court to write a preface to this book at that time, and write a few eight-strand essays to discuss, but it is inconvenient to disclose it at the moment." ”

And the finale of the university scholars? Yao Qian hurriedly got up, and the other party saluted: "This time Fang Gongzi has helped too much, I am grateful, Fang Gongzi, but please rest assured, this book is profitable, half of it is with you!" If you don't dislike it, you can make a contract now. ”

Fang Yingwu said slowly: "What Mr. Yao said, can I still believe you, it's too vulgar to talk about profit, don't worry, don't worry." ”

Yao Qian didn't listen to Fang Yingwu, beckoned the store to put pen and ink, and wrote the contract by himself. Fang Yingwu nodded secretly, this Yao Qian is really good at being a person.

If he just took advantage of his humble words to get off the donkey and no longer mention the distribution of profits and sign the contract, then he should re-weigh whether he still cooperates with him, and he is not the only bookstore in the capital. As long as you can get resources, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a partner?

Looking at the two copies of the contract, which agreed that the profits would be half within ten years, Fang Yingwu sighed: "The eight-share anthology was proposed to make it convenient for the world's scholars. Mr. Yao's move made me feel uncomfortable. ”

Yao Qian said with a smile: "Fang Gongzi is a gentleman who reads, of course he doesn't want to talk about profit. However, this is a business, and the emphasis is on the brothers' clear accounting, and talking about profits does not affect friendship! ”

Seeing that the matter was decided, Fang Yingwu didn't hide it, "I still have some ideas, Mr. Yao will refer to one or two." This time, I went to the Ministry of Rites to copy the test papers, not only this year's, but also previous years, but not too long, just copy nearly two or three subjects. ”

Yao Qian nodded and said, "Reasonable." Not only can you publish this year's anthology, but you can also publish previous years, and it's always better to store some more topics. ”

Fang Yingwu continued: "Not only do you have to copy the test paper of the middle school entrance examination, but also copy the test paper of the first test. ”

Yao Qian was stunned for a moment, "Why is this?" ”

Fang Yingwu said: "First publish an anthology that tells the world that weishenme can be tested, and then you can also find an opportunity, and then publish an anthology that weishenme does not test, the world wants to see it." ”

This young man can even dig out the selling point of the street text, and Yao Qian admires the five-body throwing to the ground, "Fang Gongzi is really a great talent, and he has seen it now." ”

Fang Yingwu Zuihou taught: "The eight-strand anthology is easy to imitate, and there will inevitably be groups to follow suit in the future." As an incumbent in the industry, we must be surprisingly new, cleverly compiled, and renovated in order to maintain our leading position!

With the same hundreds of test papers, there can be hundreds of combinations. For example, the compilation of the four books, the five classics, the main examination of the northerners, the main examination of the southerners, and the compilation of the examination papers of the Shujishi depend on how to compile, Mr. Yao think twice! ”

Yao Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, thought about it, and felt that this was really a wonderful idea, and the more he thought about it, the better it became!

He couldn't help but get up and salute again: "Last night, I was thinking repeatedly about how to make this kind of anthology a long-term business in the future, so as not to become a one-shot deal, and the money earned in a few years will fade."

Listening to your words today, it is really better than reading for three years, but it is called in the next mouth! I don't know how to thank you for such kindness! ”

Fang Yingwu waved the contract and said lightly: "If you want to thank me, just add a new article to the contract." ”

Yao Qian also thought that Fang Yingwu wanted to raise the price, which was also human nature, so he asked, "I don't know how much profit Fang Gongzi wants?" Or is my bookstore heavily hired Fang Gongzi as the president of book editing? ”

Fang Yingwu sneered, and said in a very displeased voice: "What kind of person will Mr. Yao look like!" If you want to mention another word of money, you will leave here, and you will not mention the matter of cooperation again! ”

Yao Qian was shocked, "But it's an inappropriate word, dare to ask what other terms Fang Gongzi wants to add?" ”

Fang Yingwu replied: "My condition is very simple, in the future, all the anthologies engraved by the Yao Family Bookstore must add a poem of mine to the title page, whether it is this book or other anthologies in the future. ”

"It's not that difficult, I can agree to it." Yao Qian first agreed, and then asked, "I don't know what kind of poem Fang Gongzi wants to use?" Yesterday's reading poem? ”

Fang Yingwu smiled, picked up the pen, and wrote on the paper. Yao Qian leaned over to watch, only to see Fang Yingwu write:

"Tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is so much. I'm going to live tomorrow, and everything will come to pass. The world's suffering is tired of tomorrow, and spring is going to autumn and the old is coming. Look at the water flowing eastward, and watch the sun fall in the west at dusk. How can a hundred years be tomorrow? Please listen to my song of tomorrow. ”

Fang Yingwu finished writing in one go, and with all his emotions, he threw his pen on the ground and said: "It is also appropriate to put this poem on the page of the anthology to encourage students to be proactive." ”

Yao Qian has also read books, and the more he reads this poem, the more flavorful he becomes, and sighs: "Fang Gongzi doesn't love money, but this hard work and talent are admired in every way!" Fang just misunderstood that Fang Gongzi asked for money, this was the fault of the next, and he almost insulted Fang Gongzi! ”

Fang Yingwu sighed and compassionately said: "If today's peace is long, and morale is declining, I have the heart to persuade the world to learn, cherish time, and not to be indulged in pleasure, so I wrote this poem, how can anyone listen to it in obscurity?" Today, it can be spread to the world through your Yao family bookstore, which can be regarded as an educational merit. ”

Yao Qian couldn't help but be infected by Fang Yingwu, and it was the third time that the other party saluted, and bent down deeply and said: "The son is young and righteous, and he has the style of an ancient benevolent!" I feel ashamed of myself in the next! (To be continued.) )
