Li Jiangwei's appearance at a glance made Chu Yongyi laugh out loud, "How can someone who can write such an interesting story be so boring?" ”

"It's because life is boring that the story is interesting. If the story is equally boring, isn't there nothing interesting in the world? ”

An interesting and uninteresting statement, Chu Yongyi, who was around, didn't turn around at once.

"I'm one-sided. It can be seen that the girl not only has something in her brain, but also has a very sharp mouth. ”

"The bookstore where the manuscript is printed is the property of His Highness?"

"Exactly. On the same day, I went to visit the prince in the palace of the Marquis of Huaixing, and I happened to see the girl's manuscript, and I thought the manuscript was interesting, so I begged the prince to get a manuscript for me. It was inconvenient for the prince to send the manuscript to the palace, so he ordered someone to send it to the bookstore. ”

It was a good plan to send it to the bookstore and then transfer it to Yu Yongyi, the behind-the-scenes boss. It happened that a newcomer came to the bookstore, and mistook the book for a newly printed manuscript found by the bookstore, so he sent it for plate printing. By the time the other people in the Huaixing Marquis Mansion and Wenjin Bookstore reacted, the book had already sold a lot.

Chu Yongyi explained the reason for the printing of the manuscript 1510, which can be described as full of sincerity. Faced with such a coincidence, Li Jiangwei could only be powerless to accept it.

After all, the book has been printed, sold and sold, and the manuscript can no longer be brought back from the buyer. Being able to know the ins and outs has already fulfilled her curiosity.

"The four princes came to the courtier's house late at night just to apologize to the people......'s daughter," Li Jiangwei owed, and said: "The people's daughter will definitely not believe this statement easily." I don't know what else the four princes commanded? ”

"I heard that this manuscript was originally a dowry for your fifth sister." Yu Yongyi said with some embarrassment: "It's not my style to win people's love, and it's an accident to print the manuscript." Since it is a reparation, there must always be some expression. I can grant you two requests for any reward you want. ”

Li Jiangwei did not hesitate at all, and said: "The fifth sister is married to the Feng family, which can be regarded as a high marriage, and Uncle Anyuan can't give her sister much support. If the younger sister is in trouble in the future, please ask the four princes to take care of one or two. As for the rewards, the women of the people have no extravagant expectations. ”

Yu Yongyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed again.

"Have you ever thought about supporting your sister by yourself?"

"There are a few families with the same status as the Feng family, and there are very few who can look at An Yuanbo's mansion, and the women dare not ask for luxury."

"That's it." Yu Yongyi waved his hand, "It's not what you like to have such a father." I'm here today for something other than to apologize. I'm tired of standing and talking, so let's sit down outside. ”

The two moved to the small table outside the screen and sat down, and Yu Yongyi didn't say much, and directly took out some scattered silver.

"This is the cost of the manuscript for the acceptance of the manuscript. Although printing books is an unintentional mistake, the rules of the bookstore are in front, and we will not be greedy for ink for the silver that should be given. That's not all, the rest will be served to the girl after the settlement. ”

Li Jiangwei felt that this silver was a little hot, and she couldn't take it, and she didn't take it.

"I wonder if the girl can send the follow-up manuscript to Wenjin Bookstore?" Yu Yongyi said seriously: "The bookstore has recently received many replies from book buyers, saying that they hope to see the follow-up content as soon as possible, which shows that the girl's books are deeply liked by everyone. Can you fulfill the request of these book lovers? Let them read the story behind? ”

Seeing that Li Jiangwei was a little hesitant, Yu Yongyi continued: "We Wenjin Bookstore will never force us to buy and sell, if the girl is willing to sell the follow-up manuscript to the bookstore. The girl will also have a share of the money earned from the books that are printed in the future. ”

Li Jiangwei can hear it, this is to discuss the cost of the manuscript with her.

"For the follow-up printing, our side has always been divided into two or eight. If the score of the book is good, it will improve to three or seven points. ”

"Your Highness, this is discussing business?"

"Yes."

Li Jiangwei pondered one or two and said, "The people's girl dared to ask His Highness for a share of June Fourth. ”

"Oh?" Yu Yongyi smiled playfully, "Do you know that the labor of the bookstore, the rent of the shop, and the cost of printing, all of which require money." If the books are not sold, the bookstore will not only not be able to make money, but will also have to bear this part of the loss. It is categorically impossible to divide 64, everyone wants 64, and our bookstore will not be able to open. ”

Yu Yongyi's answer was the same as Li Jiangwei expected.

"In terms of rhetoric and talent, the people's women are still mediocre. The work can be liked by relying on a strange word. The same storyline, which was brilliant and surprising when first written, became old-fashioned and vulgar after repeated several times. If His Highness wants a better manuscript, he can only get more people to devote himself to creation. ”

In the later era of the Internet, it is possible to rely on the extremely low entry threshold and the dissemination of the network itself to attract ideas. However, in ancient times, when information was relatively closed, if you want to get ideas, you can only rely on enough profits.

After all, not everyone was born in a wealthy family and had enough money to support their creations.

"This novel is just a joke for me, but it is a new business opportunity for Your Highness. If you get paid to write a novel, you don't have to worry about your livelihood, and those who can write and be creative can write with peace of mind. With them, why is Wenjin Bookstore worried about the lack of high-quality manuscripts? Why don't you attract readers? ”

Yu Yongyi shook his hand and smiled: "Imagination is naturally beautiful. Do you know that there will be no people who fish in troubled waters and indiscriminately change the works of their predecessors to cheat the remuneration? Although I am wealthy, this bookstore can only be regarded as a small business, but there are not so many people to review and read manuscripts. Nowadays, bookstores print books and buy books, relying only on the word fate. ”

Seeing that Li Jiangwei was silent, Yu Yongyi said again: "Most of the people who can buy these manuscripts are young ladies from official families, and a few are storytellers in some teahouses. There are not many people who can buy miscellaneous books and are willing to buy miscellaneous books, and people in this world prefer to go to the teahouse to listen to the excitement. ”

Yu Yongyi sighed: "The literati in the world attach great importance to words, and these stories and miscellaneous talks are all works that do not enter the stream. Ordinary bookstores don't look down on these miscellaneous books, and they don't sell them. After all, it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance with words. Wenjin Bookstore can not be suppressed by the literati, firstly, I am in charge, and secondly, Wenjin Bookstore is also subsidizing poor readers. ”

After listening to Yu Yongyi's words, Li Jiangwei's mind couldn't help but flash the old things of the past, which belonged to the past three years of falsehood. She had an empty mouth, and suddenly closed her eyes with a sad face.

"Novelists are in their own right, but they have never been in the stream. At first, it was just 'street talk, made by hearsay', focusing on small roads, rather than avenues for governing the country and leveling the world. But in this world, there are more ordinary people on the streets and alleys. They don't seek to rule the country and level the world, all they want is stability and happiness. ”

Li Jiangwei's mood came suddenly, and Yu Yongyi looked a little surprised. He is a prince, not a shallow person, and the momentary surprise quickly calmed down, and he was a little more curious about Li Jiangwei, and there was a little more exploration in his eyes.
