In the restaurant, all the bookstore shopkeepers in Lancheng gathered together.

The table is full of all kinds of delicacies, and there are all kinds of polite words in between.

"Boss Zhou, Boss Meng and Boss Lin have made a lot of money recently, why did they suddenly remember to invite us to eat this meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas?"

One boss was the first to speak, and the rest of the bosses also spoke.

Shopkeeper Zhou shook his head with a smile and put down the wine glass in his hand: "This money, I hold it in my hand, but it is also heavy in my heart." ”

Another shopkeeper took advantage of the situation to respond to his words, "Shopkeeper Zhou has something to say." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper Meng also opened his mouth, "You shopkeepers don't know, although the princess appointed our three bookstores to contract this competition, but the number of books in this competition is huge, and the little princess has also compressed the construction period, so that our three bookstores are a little powerless." ”

A thin and tall shopkeeper smiled and put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Then this dinner, the three shopkeepers are probably drunkards, and they don't mean to drink." ”

Shopkeeper Zhou was also heroic, smiled heartily, and replied to the man's words.

"Everyone is a businessman, and I don't hide it. Now that the little princess is competing, there is some harmony between our scholars. When we do business, we pay attention to harmony and make money, right? In addition, Zhou hopes that everyone here this time can sell a favor to Zhou and help out. ”

"Shopkeeper Zhou's words are reasonable, we all opened a library, and we should have one heart." The man who was the first to speak answered, and his tone was inevitably faintly sarcastic, "It's a pity, the little princess doesn't want us to participate in this competition, you see that the previous shopkeeper Zhu was raided because he collided with the little princess." Besides, the little princess once said she wanted our heads. ”

As soon as he said this, the rest of the shopkeepers present remembered the situation of that day, and they all had palpitations, and shook their heads and vetoed this matter.

In this case, it will naturally take some time to appease them, but although the shopkeeper Meng is also a businessman, he is a scholar. And Boss Lin is honest and unsmiling, and in the end, this kind of thing can only fall on the shopkeeper Zhou.

"Boss Liu's words are wrong, the little princess has verified that Boss Zhu colluded with the gambling house and evaded taxes before. All this evidence was handed over to the Yamen, and the full authority was accepted by the Lord Qincha, and the raid was also sent by the Lord Qincha, and the final confiscated family funds were also handed over to the state treasury. He defended Feng Nanqi and told the indisputable facts.

Although most of the people understand the right and wrong, it is inconvenient to say more in this case.

"Besides, Lancheng Shuyuan should be in the same breath, and this large amount of silver is exclusive to me, Shopkeeper Meng and Boss Lin, isn't it not very kind? So I'm not going to discuss this with you! ”

He did not inform the rest of the people about Feng Nanqi's shortening of the construction period, although he only had a few encounters with Feng Nanqi, but he believed that the Feng Nanqi he knew was very different from the "unruly princess" that was circulated in the market.

He firmly believed that even if he couldn't finish it within the expected time in the end, Feng Nanqi would not care about punishing him.

But the rumored Feng Nanqi has a perverse and willful personality, and the previous incident of Boss Zhu also played a role in killing chickens and monkeys, which made most people still very jealous.

So if they knew that Feng Nanqi had greatly reduced the construction period, then there were not a few people waiting to see the jokes of his three libraries.

After the competition, the three families, regardless of fame, status or wealth, will become a thorn in their hearts, and the three will naturally become the target of public criticism.

So as long as the three families can't complete it as scheduled, then the little princess will inevitably be furious, and in the end, the vitality of the three families will be greatly damaged, and they can also reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Isn't it beautiful?

"Rest assured, we and the little princess have explained the situation, and the princess sympathizes with us for our hard work day and night, and has agreed to the participation of all the bookkeepers in this competition."

Everyone began to talk to each other again, this matter was related to their future development in Lancheng, and they couldn't be sloppy.

Shopkeeper Zhou saw that someone was moved, and immediately added: "And the little princess also said that all the proceeds from this event belong to her library." In other words, how much the shopkeepers contribute in the end is also directly related to the income of the shopkeepers. Moreover, in the new publicity method, the third-party income obtained from restaurants, teahouses, inns, etc. is also directly used as the income of its library, and the princess does not care about it. ”

This man is self-interested after all. The bait that Shopkeeper Zhou threw has already begun to be hooked.

After careful consideration, and because they didn't dare to use their future careers as bargaining chips, most of them finally chose to agree.

"What Shopkeeper Zhou said is that the scholars should help each other, work together, and win-win cooperation. This cup is my Liu someone's respect to you, and the shopkeeper of Lao Zhou has bothered to fight for opportunities for us in his busy schedule. "The shopkeeper was the first to pay respect, and the rest of the shopkeepers also followed his example as the shopkeeper's toast.

"The shopkeeper is polite, then I will send a small servant to send the contract after I go back, and then I will ask the shopkeeper to take care of it."

He got up and toasted a glass of wine to the guests present, and the task assigned by the little princess was completed, and he greeted them with great pleasure.

Time passed in a flash, and with the cooperation of various colleges, the whole competition was pushed to a white-hot stage.

Nowadays, in the teahouse, restaurant, inn or chess room in Lancheng, you can almost see people reading in the room, no matter how big or small.

In the middle of the city and in the four small towns of the city, there is a place for people to read.

Feng Nanqi nodded with satisfaction with the data report, things had developed in the direction she expected.

The shopkeeper on the side looked at her and asked her what she planned next.

"Now for the final judging stage, you should ask some highly respected or senior scholars to evaluate the competition. Then send a voucher to each reader who has purchased the book, preferably wooden. In the end, the readers voted for their favorite works, and the winners of the competition were selected based on the discussions of the scholars. ”

Feng Nanqi was a little thirsty, so he took a fruit and began to nibble on it.

"In addition, most scholars are people with more old-fashioned ideas, and the subject matter of this time may not be acceptable, so don't force it if you really can't do it."

People with high reputation and seniority are often influenced by Confucian literature. If it is nothing if it is just refusal, what Feng Nanqi is most afraid of is that in the end, their protests will be much earlier than the protests of women, and at that time, this budding sprout will be easily stifled in the cradle.

And in this case, Feng Nanqi has not yet thought of a perfect plan.
