Chapter Ninety-Nine: What's the matter, Yanfu Palace has a distinguished guest?
Books were not cheap in ancient times, although printing and papermaking existed, but books were directly related to illiteracy.
The illiteracy rate in the Great Wei Dynasty was at least about 80 percent, and one out of the remaining 20 percent must have been poor scholars.
That is to say, the readers who have the money to buy a collection of words are this kind of success, of course, counting some dignitaries who buy them to collect or buy them to play.
Trending is a thing that can exist in any era, in any environment.
To put it mildly, many things are actually not that good, but because everyone says they are good, a group of wavering people will choose to pay.
Pure is just to follow the waves, otherwise wouldn't it seem that you are not trendy?
Just thinking about it, this is the Kyoto of the Great Wei, one of the richest places in the Great Wei, and they are all dignitaries, and 50,000 copies is not too exaggerated.
"It's good."
Xu Shouyun nodded, and did not show any exaggeration.
This reaction surprised Qingyuezhai's idea.
50,000 copies is 250,000 taels of silver, 30% of the profit is 75,000 taels of silver, Xu Shouyun can take 70%, this is 52,500 taels of silver.
Xu Shouyun is just a eunuch in charge of the palace, even if he has oil and water, he doesn't have so much oil and water, right?
But in fact, Xu Shouyun was not too surprised, mainly because Li Qingzhao's words sold 50,000 copies.
This was not written by passer-by A.
"Is the lord of the fast going to Yanfu Palace?"
Xu Shouyun asked.
"Well, go and report the good news to my mother."
The latter nodded, and then Xu Shouyun went to Yanfu Palace with the other party.
When a few eunuchs who originally led the way saw this situation, they didn't say much, and left on their own, letting Xu Shouyun lead the way.
The palace is majestic, and everywhere seems to be solemn, but with Xu Shouyun leading the way, there is no obstacle.
"Father-in-law Xu, do you have any words that you haven't written? Right now, there is a lot of demand for your dictionary in Kyoto. ”
"If you can take advantage of the victory and chase after it, and publish another volume, you can stabilize your position and earn a sum of money."
"And with the current situation, as long as this second volume is not worse than the first volume, it is conservatively estimated that 100,000 copies are possible."
Lord Qingyue Zhai spoke, and now she especially hopes that Xu Shouyun will come again.
Now this Yi'an word collection has simply helped her Qingyue Study earn a wave of fame, and now it is in the limelight, if she can take advantage of the victory to pursue, Qingyue Study will compete for the first place.
It's a pity that Xu Shouyun has the heart to toss the collection of words now, and he can't stare at a person anymore.
"I don't have a collection of words, but I want to write poems recently, how about a poetry collection?"
Xu Shouyun communicated with the other party, and to be honest, he was not shocked because this word was written by Li Qingzhao, but it was an indisputable fact that it was a silver flower.
Now that the East and West Factories have been built, although the eunuchs have not been really reused, it is expected that in the future, the East and West Factories of the Great Wei Dynasty will definitely have power in favor of the government and the opposition.
I really need to spend money.
The silver rewarded by His Majesty was rewarded in the palace before and after, plus I went out to buy some things today, and I didn't have much silver on hand.
In the future, it will cost even more, and if you can earn money by legitimate means, it will be a good thing in itself.
"A collection of poems?"
"Father-in-law Xu can also write poetry?"
This time, the Qingyue Zhai Lord had to be surprised.
"Poetry is not separated."
Xu Shouyun smiled and spoke.
"Poetry collections are better, if you can write a poetry collection of the same quality as Yi'an's poetry collection, I'm afraid there will be more than 100,000 copies."
Lord Qingyue Zhai was a little excited.
In the literary world, poetry is naturally more popular, and most of the people who like poetry collections are women or some young scholars.
"Okay, if I have time, I'll prepare."
Xu Shouyun said with a smile, for the time being, he is not going to toss this thing, and he will get it when he is short of silver.
In this way, the two also appeared outside the Yanfu Palace.
"Lord Xu."
The two eunuchs in the palace couldn't help shouting when they saw Xu Shouyun, but before Xu Shouyun could enter, the two walked quickly.
"Lord Xu, there is a distinguished guest in the palace today, you better go back first, and when the distinguished guest leaves later, the slave will look for you."
The latter spoke, with a smile, and asked Xu Shouyun to go back first.
The Qingyue Zhai Lord on the side was a little curious, what are the distinguished guests in this palace? Could it be that Concubine Liu's father, Liu Ge is old?
"Guest?"
"Who?"
Xu Shouyun suppressed his voice and asked with some curiosity.
"Uh,...... You'd better go back. ”
The latter is a little embarrassed and doesn't seem to be easy to say.
This aroused Xu Shouyun's curiosity even more, what distinguished guest didn't even let him say? And the gods are chattering.
Xu Shouyun actually understands the rules in the palace, some big people are here, and as a eunuch, he really can't mess around, such as Liu Ge Lao, Da Wei Shoufu and his daughter to discuss some things.
I really can't mix it up with it.
It's just that these people are secretive when they speak, if Liu Ge is old, it won't be like this.
In an instant, Xu Shouyun thought of a possibility.
"Is it the little prince of King Qin?"
Xu Shouyun asked in a suppressed voice.
The latter was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Xu Shouyun to guess it, but he didn't say anything, and responded in a suppressed voice: "My lord, Sister Yanyun came to inform you, if you come, let you go, and Gonggong Chen is also included." ”
"King Qin's little prince got a book of words and presented it to his mother, which can be regarded as a sudden visit, brought by Gonggong Chen."
He spoke, and Xu Shouyun immediately understood what was happening.
At the moment, Xu Shouyun was not verbose, and walked directly towards the palace.
Who do you think, I didn't expect it to be the little son of King Qin, although King Qin leaned towards the government and the opposition, but a grandson actually broke into the harem directly?
This is really trampling on the etiquette system.
If the King of Qin himself came, Xu Shouyun promised to turn around and leave, if the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, the little prince of the King of Qin would be nothing.
Of course, in fact, Xu Shouyun felt uncomfortable, and it stands to reason that there should be only one man in this harem, and if there are other men, he is very unhappy.
It's just that Xu Shouyun also knows that King Qin's little prince will never dare to do anything, not to mention that it is impossible for Concubine Liu to agree, and secondly, this is the palace after all, and King Qin's little prince doesn't have the guts.
is to run over to tease the sister, but unfortunately Xu Shouyun learned from the two sisters Yanyun and Yanyue that Concubine Liu has no interest in this little prince of Qin at all.
"Lord Xu, don't go in."
The other two eunuchs wanted to stop Xu Shouyun, but unfortunately Xu Shouyun was a sixth-grade martial artist, and with a slight push, the two of them directly got out of the way.
The Qingyue Zhai Lord behind her didn't want to wade into troubled waters, but when she saw Xu Shouyun entering, she had no choice but to follow.
After all, Xu Shouyun is now her big customer, and Concubine Liu is also her friend, so it's a little bad not to go in.
And with an outsider on his own, some things won't be too stiff.
"Subordinate Xu Shouyun, ask to see Niangniang."
At this moment, Xu Shouyun had already come to the outside of the main hall, and he was not verbose, he shouted loudly, and waited for the reaction of the people inside.
It's just that there are indeed four guards standing outside this hall, with weapons, looking at themselves, bringing a sense of oppression, but this behavior is really a bit arrogant.
Even if you break into the palace privately, you still carry weapons, which is really powerful.
Soon, a figure appeared, it was the figure of Gonggong Chen.
