Chapter 123: The Book of Villains

It was said before that Li Zhizhi was going back to the academy, but in ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, and he spent a lot of time on the road.

In this way, half a month has passed, and it will be about a few days.

"Young Master! Honglin Bookstore has arrived! ”

The waiter, who was sitting on the wheel, shouted inside, and then jumped out of the carriage.

The coachman watched coldly, and the old lady instructed that the seventh young master should be kept an eye on, and he was not allowed to copy books in the bookstore.

But recently, the Seventh Young Master was just reading in the bookstore, how could he manage it as a subordinate?

"Seventh Young Master! When will the villain pick you up? The coachman Su Quan asked.

"I don't have to pick it up today, I'll find a carriage to go home later!" Rest assured, you will go back just before the unitary hour. ”

Then Su Yizhao glanced at the waiter, and the waiter immediately understood, and stepped forward and stuffed a handful of copper coins.

The coachman checked it, and this heavy feeling made his eyes light up, and he immediately smiled.

"It's the villain's duty to pick you up, but if you're inconvenient, the villain will also be waiting outside the house."

"Then there will be work!" Su Yizhao nodded in response.

Money can make ghosts grind, the coachman doesn't have much oil and water on weekdays, Su Yizhao rewards him from time to time, so he tastes the sweetness, and naturally he is happy to help her hide it.

After waiting for the coachman to leave, the waiter said dissatisfiedly: "This Su Quan's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when you gave twenty wen before." I gave twenty wen before, but I dared to be too little. Today is thirty, and Ming'er doesn't know how much it will rise, but I'm afraid that my appetite will grow bigger and bigger. ”

Su Yizhao smiled indifferently, "It's only been a few days, and he hasn't been so bold." When he's swollen, I've got a way to clean him up. ”

Entering the bookstore, the old man behind the counter saw Su Yizhao coming, and his face was suddenly full of smiles.

"I haven't been here for two days, and I thought you had something going on in your house. Did you bring a new book this time? There have been several scholars who have come to urge.,Or do you have a way.,The serialized book really makes them don't know the taste.,Can't sleep at night! ”

Qin Shang came out of the counter, grabbed Su Yizhao, and asked excitedly.

"What's the hurry? I'm here to settle the bill today, it's been ten days, where's the account book? ”

Su Yizhao didn't divide the silver for five days before, and at that time, the book had not yet spread, and the business was a little bleak, but he only divided five hundred yuan.

Later, she secretly asked Zhu San to find a few scholars to hype up for her, and the business improved.

Speaking of account books, Qin Shang rubbed his hands.

His expression was excited, "If you know how much money you make, you must be surprised." ”

Su Yizhao took the account book and turned to the page where the account was not settled, the first was a few days of profit, and the first day was the day when she was looking for someone to promote, which was much better than the previous business, a total of three taels.

On the second day, it was six taels, and on the third day it grew to eighteen taels.

"Oh! The profit is good! Su Yizhao raised his eyebrows too much, his own method worked very well!

"Look down!" Qin Shang said with a smug smile on his face.

Then there was piracy, and on the fourth day, business was bleak, but it was only five taels of silver.

On the fifth day, she took a new book, and her business recovered a lot, twenty-three taels.

His gaze swept over the sixth day, which was the day after Qin Shang worked overtime to print at night.

The book has been reduced from the original 500 texts to 200 texts, this is still Su Yizhao added character sketches to the book, otherwise it will all depend on the text description, and the price will be lower.

Because of the printing technology, after the mass production of the book, the profit was cut by more than half.

In the next few days, the number of books sold increased suddenly, dozens of times more than the number sold every day before.

More than 40 copies were sold on the seventh day, and Su Yizhao continued to look down, but found that in the next few days, the number of copies per day was hundreds.

"So much demand?" Su Yizhao asked in disbelief.

Qin Shang nodded proudly, "But don't think that this is all bought by scholars in the capital, you see!" More than 900 copies were sold yesterday, how many scholars are there in our capital? ”

Su Yizhao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "Could it be that there are businessmen from other places who come to buy goods?" ”

Qin Shang nodded approvingly when he heard this, "Not bad!" It is true that there are out-of-town businessmen, but they are only incidental, and the number will not be large. Although this book is small and easy to carry, it is a book after all, and it is heavy when there are more. ”

In order to save costs, Su Yizhao cut the book to the size of his palm.

Originally, Qin Shang still thought that Su Yizhao was picking on the door, but Su Yizhao said that this is called a villain book, as long as the binding is exquisite, it will definitely sell well.

Sure enough, after seeing such exquisite books, not only scholars like to buy them, but even the boudoir ladies of large families will secretly ask girls to buy them.

"It seems that our book has become famous in the capital, and even foreign merchants have touched it!"

Su Yizhao was excited for a while, but this is just the beginning, and the businessman in the back will definitely find someone to copy the book, even if the sketch is not like it, but it will not affect the reading.

Looking at the total profit below, in addition to the five-day profit she took before, there are still thirteen days of unsettled.

"In the first few days, there was no printing, but we still calculated according to the previous divide, a total of fifty-five taels. Counted, I'm forty-four taels. ”

Su Yizhao thought that there would not be much income, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, there would be such a profit, which is not surprising.

Of course, there will be no such good things in the future. After this craze passes, I am afraid that I will not even be able to sell a copy of 200 articles.

Qin Shang was a little surprised, "Yo! Su Gongzi's heart is good! I don't even need an abacus. ”

Su Yizhao then thought that although there are ninety-nine formulas now, they won't multiply decimal points!

"In the next eight days, I took a look, and the number of copies sold was about 4,852 copies, because some of them were purchased prices, so you made a lot of profits."

Qin Shang gave another thumbs up when he heard this, "Su Gongzi's mental arithmetic is really powerful!" ”

"It's not that complicated!" Su Yizhao shook her head, at this moment she was already calculating how much silver money was in her heart.

"Equivalent to silver dollars, a total of nine hundred and twenty-one taels and eight hundred and eighty-three wen were sold."

Qin Shang nodded, "It's good that Childe doesn't think that the account books are wrong!" ”

"Of course I believe in you."

"I also consume a lot of materials and energy in this printing, first of all, the stencil of this printing, because there are many patterns of engraving, after all, there are illustrations you are talking about. Even if I found a familiar carpenter to help, it still cost thirty taels of silver. ”

Seeing Su Yizhao nodding, Qin Shang continued: "Secondly, we have to calculate the ink, paper, and wages. I drew up another account book for Su Gongzi to see! ”

After Su Yizhao took over the other account book, she suddenly frowned.

I can't help but sigh that the printing cost of this Great Cloud Dynasty is really high, no wonder books are so expensive.

Qin Shang sincerely cooperated with her, and the money was confiscated for the ready-made things in the original printing workshop.

In this way, Su Yizhao calculated, and still used two hundred and eighty-three taels of silver.
