The thick ink fragrance, the sturdy but slightly yellowed paper makes a sense of simplicity on the paper, the cover of the book is not like the usual monochrome seal, but it is sealed with the famous scene of burning Chibi, the four big characters of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are written very strongly, it seems that Uncle Li's calligraphy practice is very home.

Turning over the cover, it is the preface written by Uncle Li's Wang Youjun: "Recently, I took the "Three Kingdoms" and read it, and saw that it was based on Chen, which was not fabricated. From the point of view, strange and strange in the Three Kingdoms! Or say: Whoever goes up from the Zhou and Qin dynasties, the Han and Tang dynasties, and the people who interpret righteousness according to history, are all similar to the Three Kingdoms, why is it so strange about the Three Kingdoms? Said: The Three Kingdoms is one of the great wonders of ancient and modern battles,...... I have tasted the situation of the Three Kingdoms fighting for the world, and sigh that the changes in the fortune of heaven are really unpredictable! Taste Han Xian's handle, Dong Zhuo is in power. The heroes rise together, and the four seas are boiling...... Simply at the end of the line, so that the future reader ......"

Uncle Li's preface is very well written, and it seems that the writing is also good, even if he is not the emperor and becomes a critic, he will still have a place.

In many places, this book is printed twice, such as this cover, which first printed the picture of the burning of the red cliff, and then transferred the words of Uncle Li once.

On the Yixiang Pavilion, Li Ke was still in a white silk shirt, and Li Shu was wearing a light gauze floral skirt, and he sat cross-legged on the low couch with me. Li Zhi and Li Shen are now continuing their work in the palace, and there is no way to follow.

The wine and food have not yet been served, there is only a little tea fragrance on the case, and what Li Ke is holding in his hand is the newly printed "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", such a beautiful book, so that Li Ke, who saw the book for the first time, was amazed: "Brother Jun, your mind is difficult for ordinary people, just this cover, let my brother I love it, Yan Langzhong's paintings are worthy of being the best in the world." ”

"Hey, hey, I don't know how much effort it took to get Brother Yan to succumb to it." Very complacent, but still maintained the necessary modesty.

Li Shu looked at the brand-new book in his hand with a smile, and anyone could see the joy between his eyebrows.

Li Ke was so busy admiring the book that he didn't have time to pay attention to the two of us. After a while, Li Ke hastily flipped through the book and put it on the table, Fang Ziji sighed: "Yes, Yan Liben, Yan Lide brothers, are all painters who have won the name of my dynasty for a long time, and they can draw more than 200 inserts for this book for Brother Jun, and now the name of the Three Kingdoms has been spread throughout Chang'an, and it is a pity that they can't see it." ”――

I smiled lightly, and I was even more proud in my heart, nonsense, this rumor was originally released by us, now don't say that it is Chang'an, even several surrounding state capitals have heard the name of this book, think about it, the Tang Dynasty celebrity Fang Jun who can live in the four grades of the official residence at a young age wrote, His Majesty the Emperor personally made the preface, Yan Dahua made an insert, and then there was a comment from Prime Minister Fang, it is difficult for this book not to be popular, besides, hype, this is the way of hype, first advertise, arouse people to fire first, anyway, only hear its voice and don't see its people, but it can add more suspense, One inquirement, it spread more and more widely, so after Ben Gongzi printed the book, he kept it pressed, just because it was not the best time for new books to be released.

At this moment, the wine and food have been on the table, and a few glasses have been drunk first. "Brother Jun, why do you always smile and don't say anything, you don't have to forget, in this printing house, my brother and I have shares, as the proprietor, I have to ask. What do you want to do? ”

"In fact, the little brother really has the intention of waiting for the price to sell, of course, not for money." First, let these words out in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner. Thinking about it, now just talking about the paper mill, not to mention the paper used in Chang'an City, just those Hu businessmen swallowed nearly 30% of the paper mill shipments, which were specially sold to Tubo and even further foreign countries in the Western Regions. Now, under the efforts of Li Ke and these prominent shareholders, several nearby provincial governments have built paper mills with the same process. The dividends of the paper mill alone made the wealthy families in Chang'an look green-eyed, "Oh? If it is not for wealth, then what do you mean? Li Ke poured another glass of wine and stared at me suspiciously.

"Brother Tai, don't worry, the younger brother has something to ask the elder brother now, and I hope the elder brother will agree first." When you invite someone to dinner, you always have to have a purpose, and my purpose is for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"Oh? Strange, with the name of your bereavement, in Chang'an City, who doesn't sell you a few thin noodles, today I actually found it as a brother, hehehe, it must be difficult! Li Ke raised his finger and pointed at me, smiling evilly.

I smirked and leaned closer: "Actually, it's not that difficult, but you have to make a move." ”

"Oh? Why? Li Ke blinked his eyes and said, Li Shu also stopped raising his chopsticks and listened attentively.

"As the saying goes?!" Li Ke was stunned.

"Exactly, the younger brother knows that this matter is a little difficult, so I would like to ask for a hand for Brother De and help one or two." He raised his glass to Li Ke and took a sip.

"The vulgar talk that the younger brother said is different from others, it is a matter of folk elegance in romance novels, not involving Buddhism, not putting the sound of drum music, just with a long case, all by virtue of the ability of a mouth, so it is different from those vulgar talks, also known as storytelling, such as my "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", each chapter is a talk, one or two hours, dedicated to the tavern and tea shop, both pastime and ......"

Brother Li Ke, the merry prince, has a staggering breadth of contacts in Chang'an, and almost all the well-known buildings and pavilions in Chang'an City are familiar with each other, and I just want to borrow this method to spread our "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" more widely, not only in the books, but also to make people familiar and auspicious, but also to lay a solid foundation for the publication and circulation of my works in the future.

"Hahaha, for my brother, I knew that Brother Jun really had a back, but I didn't expect to have such a wonderful strategy, tea and wine, listen to the Three Kingdoms, gather people and have fun, this method is wonderful. Good! This favor, brother, I'll help you! Li Ke laughed loudly.

"In this way, the little brother is grateful, come, the little brother enters the brother's table for a drink!"

"!" Bang, the liquor of more than 40 degrees was poured down in one gulp, refreshing, spicy, and the whole body was evil, and it took a long time to regain his breath.

Li Shuyan clapped his hands happily when he heard this: "Brother Jun'er's words are reasonable, no wonder, when I said this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I felt that it was more interesting than reading a book by myself. ”

"Hehe, that's nature, this is the way I have been thinking about it for a long time, thinking hard about it, if I can't see the table, dare to say it to the two?" He raised his eyebrows proudly, threw a piece of braised mutton into his mouth, and chewed beautifully.

Li Ke shook his head: "That's natural, ordinary things, how can it get into my eyes?" Hahaha......"

"Brother De is my Tang Dynasty celebrity, the reading power of vision, in addition to the brother's platform, should not be thought of others......" The wine was in the heart, the sycophants poured out like a tide, and Li Ke smiled with joy, and was humble, and by the way, he also praised me as a good comrade who is very knowledgeable, Li Shu was able to endure it at the beginning, but finally laughed dryly.

I didn't have time to pay attention to this girl, continue to brag, catch what to brag, very warm atmosphere, very harmonious, to the back, all Li Ke brother Tai alone in the boasting there, I have a sound to respond, and Li Shu, the goblin, wringed together under the desk, from time to time to say two ridiculous words, which made the little girl angry, anyway, Li Ke has already begun to drink sick, just treat this product as if it doesn't exist.

When he went out, he stuffed more than ten hardcover copies of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with Li Ke's guards on the back of Li Ke's horse, and asked him to wait for Li Ke, the prince, to be handed over to him as a gift after he sobered up, and Li Shu went to get a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" signed by his son, hehe, look at this beautiful girl's happy look, I can't wait to bite into it.

Sure enough, Brother Li Ke did not lose his words, ten days later, more than ten famous wine pavilions in Chang'an City, and some more people, most of them were originally famous mouths for the temple vulgar, but when they opened their mouths, they said that it was a strange book. Over the weekend, the Seven Kingdoms divided and merged into Yuqin. After the destruction of Qin, Chu and Han divided and disputed,...... The reason for the chaos began with the two emperors of Huan and Ling. Emperor Huan imprisoned the good and believed in eunuchs. and Emperor Huan collapsed, Emperor Ling ascended the throne, and the generals Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan assisted each other. From time to time, there are eunuchs Cao Jie and others who take power, Dou Wu and Chen Fan plot to punish them, and the machine is not secret, but they are victimized...... "Wonderful, very exciting, which has heard such a wonderful story, as soon as it comes out, it is the famous book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by the handsome son of Fang Jun who is so hard to ask for in Chang'an, for a time, the turnover of the tavern tea shop in Chang'an City has soared, and there is an endless stream of listeners
