Chapter 4 Ling Painting
The Ling family's Sihai Bookstore is famous, and the literati and ink writers love the Ling family's Sihai Bookstore the most, the quality is exquisite, and the paper is not rough.
Therefore, from the great Confucians of the time to ordinary students, they all want to have a book of their own in Sihai Bookstore.
However, the review of Sihai Books is very strict, and it is not a good book that cannot be published, which has led to the status of Sihai Book Company has always been high.
It is precisely because of this that the number of books and poetry collections published by Sihai Books every year is not large, but the more so, the more sought after, but all the books and poems produced by Sihai Books will soon be sold out.
Yan Qing didn't expect that Sihai Book Company was willing to send out the poems at the beginning of the journey, as far as he was concerned, the poems were good, but the quality was actually uneven, and from his basket of poems, he could pick out a few poems that could be read, which was not enough to produce a whole collection of poems.
But on the contrary, the Four Seas Bookstore gave it to him. It's not quite in line with the style that Sihai Bookstore has always had.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "How many are out?" ”
"Fifty thousand copies."
There are quite a few of them.
Yan Qing asked again, "Does Cheng Chu have any silver?" ”
"Yes, a collection of poems is priced at three taels, the cost is one tael, and two and one are added to five, and Cheng Gongzi took 50,000 taels and got it. He bought a thousand copies for himself and gave them away, spending three thousand taels. ”
Banquet light: "......"
Therefore, he earned him 100,000 taels, he not only rewarded the Begonia Sea in Qiyun Mountain, stimulated the potential of creating poems, and Sihai Book Company gave him a poetry collection, not to mention his fame, but also earned back 50,000 taels?
Where is this a fool? Obviously, you can kill four birds with one stone!
Is he blind? Can't see people?
Yan rubbed his eyes lightly, "Go and ask, why did Sihai Bookstore make an exception?" ”
The housekeeper nodded, went out for a lap, and looked at Yan Qing with a complicated face when he came back.
"Got it clear?"
The housekeeper bowed, "Sihai Bookstore is said to have heard that the little marquis you exchanged the jade plate of Qiyun Mountain for Cheng Gongzi's 100,000 taels of silver, and felt that this was a big deal, so he immediately reached a cooperation with Qiyun Mountain, and launched a collection of poems of Qiyun Mountain and Begonia Sea through Cheng Gongzi's poems, but anyone who wants to go to Qiyun Mountain to see the Begonia Sea, as long as he takes out 100,000 taels of silver, he can enjoy the begonias all over the mountains and fields of Qiyun Mountain for three days. ”
Banquet light: "......"
He was silent for a while, he really didn't know what expression to make, and he spit out a sentence for a long time, "Ling Hua...... is really doing business at every turn, and she is really not afraid of dying. ”
Butler: "...... Probably not afraid! ”
After all, the Ling family is backed by His Majesty, and they don't panic as much as they eat.
Speaking of which, Miss Ling is really admirable, three years ago, the Ling family was involved in the Jiangnan Caoyun case, and was caught by the crown prince, and the men and women of the Ling family over the age of sixteen were all put into prison, and they died, they were sick, Ling Hua was thirteen years old that year, and the entire Ling family, she was left alone and a few loyal old servants, everyone felt that the Ling family was finished, and no one thought that a little daughter's family could do anything to bring the dead back to life.
I just did it!
She knocked on the Dengwen drum to sue the emperor, and the prince and the prince of the dynasty were beaten by the imperial court division fifty boards, and the blood stained the bluestone bricks under the Dengwen drum thoroughly, formed a whole layer of ice, took off a layer of skin, and saw His Majesty in one breath, and sent the evidence of the prince and the prince to frame the Ling family to cover up the truth to His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to promise to personally retry the Jiangnan Caoyun case.
Later, the truth of the Jiangnan Caoyun case was revealed, and the prince and the prince were dismissed, not only accompanying themselves, but also accompanying the entire Zhao family to be punished by the nine clans.
Ling Hua not only did not die, but took the only remaining people of the Ling family to reorganize the Ling family, and at the same time entered the eyes of His Majesty, and unexpectedly won the trust of His Majesty, the Son of Heaven blocked the opposition of all the courtiers, and made an exception to hand over Jiangnan Caoyun to the Ling family to be responsible.
Everyone knows that although His Majesty handed over Jiangnan Caoyun to the Ling family, it was actually handed over to Ling Hua, because no one in the entire Ling family had the ability to support the courtyard, except for Ling Hua.
And Ling Hua really lived up to the expectations of the Son of Heaven, holding the broken sword of the Ling family's reorganization, in three years, the tax revenue created by Jiangnan Caoyun doubled, and the treasury was greatly filled.
When it comes to Ling painting, everyone really respects it.
Yan Qing obviously also thought of that year, when he had been doing it seriously for more than a year, sitting in the teahouse and listening to the conversation of the young daughter of the Ling family listening to the royal complaint, listening with relish.
Later, he often heard how the Ling family was and how Ling Hua was. Even whenever there was a palace banquet, I could hear that Ling Hua was the one sitting in the VIP seat closest to the Son of Heaven.
However, he never attended the palace banquet, so naturally he had heard of it all, and he had never seen her.
Yan Qing glanced at the ten poetry books again, reluctantly reached out and picked them up again, and turned directly to the end, and sure enough, the remarks read, "One hundred thousand taels of silver, Qiyun Mountain will enjoy the Begonia Sea for three days." ”
He threw away the poetry book, turned to the housekeeper and asked, "You say, should I ask the Ling family and Qiyun Mountain for a benefit fee?" If it weren't for me, would they have thought of this money-making trick? ”
The housekeeper said "uh" and looked at Yan Qing, "Little Marquis, this is ...... Not quite right? ”
You've got 100,000 taels! Being too greedy is easy to get into trouble!
Yan Qing thought about it, and stood up, "It's okay to ask Cheng Chu for a drink?" ”
The butler immediately said, "Okay, okay." ”
Cheng Gongzi is probably looking for someone to drink to celebrate!
So, Yan Qing went to find Cheng Chu, and Cheng Chu readily agreed when he heard it, called friends and called a group of good brothers, and chartered a restaurant to celebrate.
Yan Qing followed Cheng Chu to the door of the restaurant where he was chartered, and looked at the plaque of the Ling family of the drunken immortal building......
How can the money for a drink go into the Ling family's pocket?
He doubted himself for a while before he was pulled by Cheng Chu and walked in reluctantly.
Although he earned 100,000 taels and added a good meal of wine and food, how did he feel that he had lost a lot?
I don't know!
