Isn't that a coincidence?

Ay......? Isn't that a coincidence?

Sleepy someone sent a pillow.

I was about to be a copyist here, and the owner of the bookstore over there sent me to the door.

Xu He had actually been prepared for the bookstore owner to come to the door for a long time.

In the bookstore of this era, high school students who have taken the college examination, the township examination, and the general examination over the years, the bookstore will buy the Cheng Wenhui of their high school years and print it into a book and sell it to the readers to study.

But at this level of the college examination, not anyone's article can be selected.

Because of quality reasons, the bookstore will only buy the first article and the good articles of the township examination and the general examination in the past years to compile into a book.

However, this time, the shopkeeper of Guangling Bookstore came to the door in person, and it was definitely not so simple.

If it only takes one or two articles from Xu He, then the bookstore can find someone to come over.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper Ji said: "The head of the Xu case is the first little Sanyuan in our Nanzhili, I read the article of the government test, and every time I think of [Song Nine Virtues and Nine Gong, Yongyong is like the harmony of phoenix birds, and the sound is still good. Dancing nine sao and nine concerts, staggering like a hundred beasts to dance, and allowing who is still the two sentences, I can't help but praise the festival! ”

"Therefore, the book shop wants to buy all the articles on the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination for the head of the Xu case, and then ask the first choice of the Xu case to compile one or twenty essays on weekdays into a booklet!"

"Rest assured, in terms of price, we will buy it according to the price of the article of Nanzhili Chinese-style Jinshi in previous years, and one article will cost two taels of silver!"

Xu He nodded, the rules of the bookstore, he had heard Xie Liangcai say it many times.

The price of this season's shopkeeper can be said to be very sincere.

Thinking of this, Xu He said: "This is a good thing, Shopkeeper Ji will wait a while!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and entered the study, took out a stack of articles and handed them to Shopkeeper Ji.

The first few of these articles are all test-taking essays written by myself after the exam, and the others are articles written when I was studying with Xie Liangcai.

The quality is still guaranteed.

Shopkeeper Ji suddenly took a thick stack of paper manuscripts and hurriedly flipped through them with joy.

Needless to say, after reading the article of the three heads, Shopkeeper Ji praised again and again: "The name of the head of the case of Xu Gongzi is worthy of the name, worthy of the name!" ”

After speaking, he flipped through Xu He's article again.

The first article is entitled "Knowledge, Benevolence and Courage of the Three Virtues of the World", which is a "The Mean" question, to the effect that wisdom, benevolence, and bravery are the great virtues of the world.

Let's take a look at Xu He's problem: "Virtue is in the world, in a word, everyone can do the way!" ”

What does this mean?

It is [virtue] as the principle of the world's ancient and modern gains, in short, it shows that everyone can practice the way of humanity.

Although Shopkeeper Ji is a businessman, the bookseller of this era has no worse vision than ordinary readers.

Xu He's breakthrough can be described as rigorous.

It immediately made people understand that his article is not about morality, nor about the world's avenue, but focuses on the word "practice".

That is, the word "da" in the title.

Wisdom, benevolence, and courage are the common nature of human beings, and they are the universal qualities that exist in human beings.

But [Da] is like a car, its existence, or mission, is what the car needs to carry.

So what is this thing?

It's the Tao!

It is said that the eight strands are the most important to solve the problem.

Xu He said so much truth in just one sentence.

You don't need to read this article, the following content will not be bad at all.

This is Li Zhijie's so-called "one-word bone", the outline of the leader.

Shopkeeper Ji said in his heart, if they are all articles of this level, then this Cheng anthology is estimated to be a big seller.

After reading one, he couldn't wait to read the next.

Sure enough, Xu He's level can be said to be very stable, and his style has changed, whether he likes to arrange puppets or scatter bodies, he can learn something in these articles.

Shopkeeper Ji immediately clapped his hands and said: "Master Xu, we want these articles from Guangling Bookstore, and I will offer two taels and five dollars of silver for one piece!" But I also have a condition, these articles, except for our bookstore, you can't sell them to others! ”

Xu He nodded, which is also the proper meaning of the question.

Don't think that in ancient times, there was no copyright protection.

At least since the Song Dynasty, the copyright and copyright protection of authors and booksellers have been written into the law.

Among them, the most famous public case is Zhu Xi, the great sage of science.

The works of Zhu Xi, a great Confucian in the Southern Song Dynasty, became popular, and he printed and sold the book "On Meng Fetching", but it was illegally pirated by Zhejiang booksellers.

Zhu was annoyed and hurriedly sent a letter to his friend Lu Zuqian for help, hoping that he, as a local official, would help, prohibit reprinting and sales, and did not hesitate to sue to defend his rights in order to deter the villain's arrogance.

Zhu Xi's awareness of copyright is so high, which is related to his grandfather, Huizhou giant businessman Zhu Qu.

Zhu is a master of carving books in the Song Dynasty, a rich party, and the family property accounts for half of the county seat of Shexian County, so it is called "Zhu Banzhou".

Zhu Xi, who lost his father at an early age and was raised by his widowed mother, is no stranger to the publishing industry.

According to later statistics, Zhu Xi's lifetime publishing income was no less than 2 million yuan, equivalent to 7.8 million taels of silver, which was richer than that of a prince.

Zhu Xi, the university scholar who carved the most books in history, his son and son-in-law were in charge of the operation, and his protégés and disciples participated in the assistance.

The descendants published the "Collected Works of Zhu Zi" for 800 years, and monopolized it until the Qing Dynasty.

Other bookstores only have envy and will never dare to get involved in piracy.

The earliest known copyright protection document in China was issued by Zhu Xi's cousin Zhu Mu, who requested the government.

Zhu Mu Kai carved his own geographical work "New Edition of 46 Must Use Fang Yu Shenglan" a total of 71 volumes, the cost of engraving and printing is amazing, in order to prevent competitors from profit-seeking piracy, he in the Southern Song Dynasty Jiayi two years (AD 1238) asked the Liangzhejiang Road Transit Division and the Fujian Road Transit Division to issue a list of texts: "Poor years, take over self-transcription, sleep and food for waste, begging constraints, and avoid the trouble of copying." ”

Zhu Mu deliberately attached the list text after the preface, warning the pirates: once discovered, they have the right to denounce, chase people to destroy the version, and severely punish them.

With the support of the law, the sales of his works have naturally risen.

Yuan Ren Fanghui's "Xuan Kui Rhythm" recorded: "People in Shu came to buy, and they counted thousands of copies at a time. ”

But if you want to protect copyright, you actually have to go to the yamen to report.

Of course, it costs a lot to get up and down.

This also reflects from the side that Shopkeeper Ji is very optimistic about the sales of Xu Hecheng's anthology.

Indeed, at least until the township test next year, articles like Xu He's case leaders are very popular.

What's more, Xu He still has the name of [Little Sanyuan], and it is estimated that once the book is published, not to mention other places, Nanzhi is definitely expensive Luoyang paper.

This really isn't bragging, why?

Because everyone wants to find out the taste of Yang Yinqiu, the great master, from Xu He's article, so that they can copy the style of writing in the coming year and do what they like.

After talking about the business, the shopkeeper Ji paid the money quickly, and invited the chief of the piece to be a middleman, and the two sides signed the contract, and when it was handed over to the yamen, the contract for the sale of articles was officially established.

Shopkeeper Ji said with a smile: "Xu Gongzi's talent, presumably he will be on the laurel list in the township test next year, and he will have to come to the door to bother him." In that case, let's take my leave! ”

Xu He said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ji, wait a minute, I still have something I want you to take a look at!" ”
