Chapter 425: Zhang Hanqing sells books
Besides, Zhang Hanqing, when he left the Lin Mansion and was just about to climb into the carriage, the groom hurriedly blocked Zhang Hanqing with a horsewhip and said: "Guest officer, let's talk about the ugly things ahead, the young lady who is with you has already paid for the carriage, if you sit again, you have to add extra money." ”
Zhang Hanqing touched the ten taels of silver and the broken silver prepared in his arms, thinking about the two thousand taels of silver dowry that had not yet been settled, but he was still not willing to spend money on a carriage, but walked forward on foot with a bamboo box on his back.
Passing by an Anbei study, Zhang Hanqing's eyes suddenly lit up, entered the study, and said in a loud voice: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper!! ”
The shopkeeper was napping on the counter and was woken up by Zhang Hanqing's voice.
The shopkeeper took a closer look at Zhang Hanqing, and suddenly said after a long time: "It turned out to be Zhang Tongsheng!" Didn't you go to Yunqing Country? How did you get back? ”
Zhang Hanqing immediately straightened his waist and said: "King Ling came to visit Emperor Qi on behalf of Yunqing Kingdom, and I, as the editor-in-chief of the National Book Company of Yunqing Kingdom, came back this time to be responsible for inheriting the culture of Yunqing Kingdom. ”
The shopkeeper raised his big finger and said: "Zhang Tongsheng, no, Editor-in-Chief Zhang is really amazing!" ”
After the praise, the shopkeeper deliberately flipped through the account book and stopped talking.
Zhang Hanqing asked cheekily: "That, shopkeeper, didn't I ask you to help me sell a book last year?" How's it selling? ”
The shopkeeper was afraid that Zhang Hanqing was here to ask for silver, so he didn't mention it at all, but he didn't expect Zhang Hanqing to mention it first with a shy face, and the shopkeeper had to reply: "Your book, I didn't sell it for money, so I should give it away." ”
Zhang Hanqing frowned and said, "Didn't sell for money? This book is worth 200 yuan just for the cost of paper, how can it not be sold? You're going to me, aren't you? ”
The shopkeeper said angrily: "Zhang Tongsheng, how many times have the two cooperated?" You still can't believe me? Okay, okay, let me tell you, it was Ling Shoufu's men who bought it, you go to Ling Shoufu to ask for money!! ”
The shopkeeper thought that as long as he reported the name of the buyer, Zhang Hanqing would not dare to go.
Which Cheng thought, Zhang Hanqing threw his sleeves and left, with a great posture of asking for money, the shopkeeper immediately panicked, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Hanqing's cuffs and said: "My living ancestor, do you really dare to go?" Can't I be honest with you? I took a total of twenty-five books, and gave a total of thirty taels of silver, and I will give you the money for the book, will it be successful? ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly took out a tael of silver and gave it to Zhang Hanqing.
Zhang Hanqing looked at the one or two pieces of silver in his hand, and looked at the shopkeeper with straight eyes.
The shopkeeper said suspiciously: "My Zhang Daguan'er, what else are you going to do?" ”
Zhang Hanqing said solemnly: "The account is wrong." Twenty-five books are sold for thirty taels of silver, and a book is sold for one or two pieces of silver, and our old rule is that I have nine and one of you, and if you deduct the commission money, you will have to give me eighty dollars. ”
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect Zhang Hanqing, who kept saying that he was the editor-in-chief of Yunqing Country and the National Book Company, and he didn't even let go of eighty yuan.
The shopkeeper took out a bunch of money and threw it to Zhang Hanqing and said, "Zhang Tongsheng! I'll give you another penny, and you don't have to find me the extra twenty dollars!! ”
Zhang Hanqing disagreed, opened a hanging of money, counted out twenty coins and gave it to the shopkeeper: "I am the editor-in-chief of the National Book Company of Yunqing Kingdom, how can I take advantage of you as an ordinary person in Daqi, give, must give." ”
The shopkeeper accepted twenty cents with a helpless face.
Zhang Hanqing still didn't let him go, took out six books from the bamboo box, put them on the counter and said: "Shopkeeper, old rules, let the books be sold on your behalf, you can decide how much they sell, the old rules, you have one and I nine, if the books are not enough to sell, find me, I will write again, I will live and live in ......"
Zhang Hanqing then remembered that he hadn't found a place to live yet, so he said, "I'll pick it up tomorrow." ”
Afraid that the shopkeeper Zhang would refuse, Zhang Hanqing strode away.
The shopkeeper angrily spread out the book and found that the titles of the books were: "Yunqing Founding Chronicle", "Yunqing National Code", "Yunqing Women's Rights".
Two copies of each book, for a total of six.
The shopkeeper flipped through the pages of the book and muttered to himself: "The surname Zhang doesn't even write a notebook and rewrite these things?" Could he really be some kind of editor-in-chief? It's just that this kind of book can be sold in the Great Qi Country!! ”
As soon as he put the book down, suddenly a delicate voice asked, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell these three books?" ”
Shopkeeper Zhang looked up in surprise, and saw that the person who was asking was a smart girl, looking at the dress, it should be a young lady from a rich family.
The shopkeeper stretched out a finger nervously, which meant a piece of silver.
The girl smiled: "Ten taels of silver?" I'll buy one copy of each of these three and give you silver. ”
The girl handed over thirty taels of silver, and the shopkeeper Zhang was stunned for a long time before he reacted, he didn't expect it to be sold so quickly, and, it seems, the price is not low.
The girl left, and the shopkeeper was puzzled, thinking if Zhang Tongsheng had any secrets to writing books and what books were good to sell?
The shopkeeper had the mentality of trying it out, moved a long table at the door, put the three books outside, and stood outside himself, wanting to hit the luck again.
Soon, two more girls passed by, different from the girl just now, these two girls were very sassy in military uniforms, looking at the direction, they should be passing by the blacksmith shop in front.
One of the girls inadvertently glanced at the title of the book on the table, and immediately grabbed the girl who was hurrying away beside her and said, "Sister Jingwan!! ”
Jing Wan frowned and said, "Niang Niang is still waiting for us to get the darts, how can I have the time to hang out?" ”
The girl argued: "Sister Jingwan, look at the title of the book!" ”
Jing Wan read the title of the book, and was immediately shocked, she never expected that on the territory of Daqi, there would be books such as "Chronicle of the Founding of Yunqing Kingdom", "Code of Yunqing Country", and "Women's Rights of Yunqing Country".
If what is written in it is true, it is too precious, and this book is clearly a fine work of Daqi, and it should be credited!!
Jing Wan hurriedly asked: "Shopkeeper, how can there be a book of Yunqing Kingdom on the realm of our Great Qi, what is written here is made up nonsense, right?" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately defended: "Girl, you can not buy my book, but you can doubt my book!" Do you know who wrote this book? It was written by Zhang Hanqing, editor-in-chief of the National Book Company of Yunqingguo, look here......"
The shopkeeper pointed to the lower right corner of the book, which was stamped with a seal.
Jing Wan said with a happy face: "How much does this book cost?" ”
The shopkeeper's heart was worried, but he said calmly on the surface: "Ten taels of silver a piece." ”
Jing Wan happily threw down thirty taels of silver and took away all three books.
The shopkeeper's heart was so shocked, he was so unoptimistic about the book, in less than an hour, it was sold for a high price of sixty taels of silver, not including the reward of ten taels of silver.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and immediately went to the official post office, he wanted to tell Zhang Hanqing the good news, and by the way, he saw if he still had these three books in his hand.
