Chapter Seventy-Six: It's Just a Profiteer

"As for the ten chapters that have already been written, I will immediately ask the printing company to print them and publish them as soon as possible. We will publish a book every fifteen days for fifteen days until the county lord finishes the whole book......"

"Wait." Kong Fang shouted to stop.

"Sir, do you mean ten chapters in one?"

"yes." Mr. Luo looked right. He patted the manuscript of "Journey to the West" on his desk.

"Ten chapters are just right for a book."

Kong Fang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Sir, you plan to sell one or two pieces of silver for this one?" ”

Mr. Luo looked at Kong Fang with a strange look in his eyes. What's going on with the county?

Think the book is selling cheaply?

"County Zun, one or two sons are almost the same, it is this price."

Kong Fang felt that his brain was buzzing, he mechanically calculated a set of numbers, the whole book "Journey to the West" has one hundred chapters, according to Mr. Luo's dismantling method, it can be divided into ten books.

If one can sell for one tael, ten copies are ten taels of silver, and if one can sell for one hundred thousand copies, ten copies are one million copies, and one million copies multiplied by one tael is equal to how much silver?

Tell me, how much silver is it?

Old man Luo, what kind of literati are you?

You're a profiteer!

I like it, though.

Kong Fang couldn't suppress his emotions, his hands and feet were trembling with excitement, and his brain was nervously calculating another account. He has read all four famous novels, among which "Dream of Red Mansions" is as familiar as "Journey to the West".

There are also Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's masterpieces, which he can also "write", as well as "The Legend of the West Chamber", "La Traviata", "Romeo and Juliet", "Ordinary World", ......

He opened a list of books, and if there was no accident, he could become the richest man in the Daxing Dynasty by "writing" books and selling books.

For a while, he really had the intention of hanging up the seal and leaving, and "writing" the book behind closed doors.

Fortunately, his sanity is still there, and no matter how beautiful his freelance work is, it is not as fragrant as an iron rice bowl; No matter how big the face of the literati is, it is not as big as the face of the county.

Power, whether in the previous life or in the Daxing Dynasty, it is supreme.

Take Mr. Luo as an example, if Kong Fang was just a literati who could write books, he would definitely not be respectful to Kong Fang, and it would have been a great favor to express his appreciation as his identity.

Even he didn't dare to split "Journey to the West" and still offered one or two copies.

He had heard that the lark had written a book of pure nonsense, "Xiangrui", and it was sold for three taels of silver. Could it be that the people of Qinghe don't know the goods?

Of course not, but because they are too knowledgeable.

Of course, what he recognizes is not the value of "Xiangrui", but the value of the lark itself.

If the lark does not have an official body, the book "Xiangrui" is used as a handwritten paper and it is suspected that the paper is stained with ink.

As for that "Shhhhh

"Okay, it's all up to you." Kong Fang poured a cup of tea and forcibly calmed himself down, and decided to let "Journey to the West" test the water first, and as for the other books, I will talk about it later.

The two of them then drew up some charters for the publication of books and the distribution of profits.

After everything was done, Mr. Luo wanted to say goodbye, Kong Fang suddenly remembered Dou Tong's father and daughter and his own star-making plan, so he asked:

"Sir, do you know Dou Tong?"

"It's to take a woman to sing that Dou Tong in various teahouses."

When Mr. Luo heard this, his eyes darkened, "I am also from Qinghe, how can I not know him." The Dou family was originally a famous family in Qinghe County, and the poems and books were heirlooms, but unfortunately they offended the villain Zhu Dachang, and finally ended up with a broken family. ”

He was a little puzzled, "What did the county ask him to do?" Did he ask you to overturn the case? ”

Kong Fang did not hide it, and told him how he met Dou Tong's father and daughter, as well as his star-making plan and inventory. Mr. Luo patted his head, remembering that he had heard Fang Shibo say this.

I also heard that if it weren't for the former Sect Lark to get in the way, the county's star-making plan would have been successful.

Mr. Luo has always been unbearable to face the persecution of his old friends, he never goes to the teahouse to listen to Dou Tong's father and daughter singing, but only secretly and occasionally helps them.

I heard that Mr. Luo knew Dou Tong, so Kong Yi gossiped about the beginning and end of Dou Tong's case. There is his case file in the county government library, but it is from Zhu Dachang, and the credibility is almost zero.

Mr. Luo pondered for a while, and then said: "The Dou family lives in Qinghe County and inherits poetry and books. The ancestors once came out of Hanlin, of course, this is already a matter of the previous dynasty. ”

"In the Daxing Dynasty, the Dou family began to gradually decline, and by the Dou Tong generation, the Dou family has been reduced to an ordinary squire, although the family is well-off, but in Qinghe has completely lost the right to speak."

"It's like in the eyes of those upstarts, the Dou family is even more yellow in the past. Of course, this is just the hot and cold state of the world, and the people are sophisticated, and it does not hurt the foundation of the Dou family. ”

"Dou Tong is versatile, but he is straight, clear, and high, and regards Zhu Dachang and his ilk like a flood beast. His words and deeds finally offended Zhu Dachang, since ancient times, the people do not fight with the officials, once the two fight, can the grass people have a good end? ”

"At the beginning, Wu Haozi gathered at Litou Mountain, did evil, looted and burned, aroused public indignation, and the villagers angrily accused Zhu Dachang of inaction and connived at banditry."

Zhu Dachang was forced to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, but he only turned around a few times at the bottom of the Litou Mountain and then withdrew his troops, and he did not dare to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits. Later, someone 'reported' that it was Dou Tong's bandits, which caused the government to lose in suppressing bandits. ”

"Zhu Dachang was furious, and personally led people to arrest Dou Tong's family, confiscated their family property, and the whole family except for his father and daughter was detained in Qinghe County, and they made a living by singing for life, and the rest of the dozen or so people were used as border guards."

"The road to Biansai is far away, the road is bumpy, and more than a dozen members of the Dou family have not yet reached Biansai, and they have been ordered to go to Huangquan. Of course, there are also rumors that Zhu Dachang instructed him to cause harm. ”

"As for the facts, only the parties know what they do."

The more Kong Fang listened, the more frightened he became. He comes from a highly civilized previous life, and the tragedy of Dou Tong's family only happens in costume film and television works, and reality cannot exist at all.

"Banditry is a serious crime, and Zhu Dachang and company have already turned the Dou Tong case into an ironclad case, and if they want to overturn the case, it will be even more difficult than ascending to the sky. Although Zhu Dachang is dead, he is not the only one who has profited from this case. ”

"Therefore, the county Zun Mo has to easily accept Dou Tong's request to overturn the case. Because with your current foundation, not only is there no hope of overturning the case, but it may also affect you. ”

Out of love, Mr. Luo couldn't help but say a few words.

Kong Fang understood Mr. Luo's kindness, nodded, and then told Mr. Luo about the conversation between Kong Yiji and Dou Tong after Kong Yiji received his letter.

Mr. Luo nodded after hearing this, "This is Dou Tong's temperament." ”

"I admire his character and his father and daughter's talent, so I will continue to make stars. Sir, in the eyes of the world, singers are lowly people, and singing is lowly behavior. ”

"But I don't think so. Singing is an art, the singer is practicing the art, and he is a laborer like all of us. ”

"They are also purveyors of beauty and goodness."
