Chapter 260: Nine Books in a Set

Several people pinned their hopes on Xuanlin, and sued Su Qiao fiercely in front of him, they thought that Xuanlin had studied since childhood, and could understand that adding punctuation and paraphrasing not only violated the ancestral system, but also made Su Qiao's family's words dominant in Lanzhou, which could help them suppress the matter of publishing.

"It's inconvenient for me to meddle in this matter, you can solve it yourself."

Xuanlin didn't have any resistance to punctuation and paraphrasing, but he really didn't want Su Qiao's remarks to be widely circulated, but he and Wen Yunxi had already reached an agreement, and the official report involved other yamen, and he could still let people press down and not approve it, and other yamen couldn't control the publication of books.

In this way, their arms can't reach their thighs, and no matter how unhappy they are, they can only do it, but they still have a faint hope, after all, paper is expensive, and the price of published books will not be low, and if the price is not low, the circulation will be slow.

"Oh no, the new book is a complete set of nine books, and it only costs 200 yuan!"

Two hundred?! How can it be?! Wen Yunxi is crazy, how much money does this have to lose?

"What's wrong, it's a great thing, come, I'll bring you a few sets too, so that you can be happy." Su Qiao pushed the door in, his face full of smiles, and motioned to the six of them to send the book to the six of them.

Zhang Xuwen picked up a book and opened it, he didn't cut corners, and because of the extra punctuation and paraphrasing, it was twice as thick, and the cost of just such a volume should not be underestimated, not to mention that there are nine volumes in a set.

As soon as these words came out, the room was so quiet that only their rapid breathing could be heard, they were scholars, who didn't want to earn a reputation, but they were all the ones who were swept away, not to mention their words and deeds, even their names couldn't be passed on, and they had already stopped those thoughts.

Su Qiao smiled proudly, "I have a paper mill, the paper you bought at Liu's shopkeeper in recent days is all from my workshop, although the hundred sets of books are only 200 Wen, but I also have a lot of money, and the money I earn is printed on inferior paper for free books, and it can be widely circulated without spending a penny." ”

Su Qiao nodded, satisfied with his knowledge of current affairs, "Since Qin Yu said so, I'm not welcome." ”

"Brother Su is joking." Not to mention the labor cost and ink consumption of printing, rice paper alone is a large expense, Lanzhou because of the cheap land and sea, the price of paper is higher, a set of nine booklets, thick piles there, all money.

No wonder Liu Lin said this, when the Shanniu clan was tried, he was also at the scene at the time, and he was particularly impressed by Su Qiao's words and words, others ridiculed him for doing things for women, but he kept talking about his salary in the court, he should have despised him for this kind of money-losing behavior, but he couldn't help but envy.

But! Who is this man in front of you? It is a famous young champion in the whole country, with Wen Yunxi's big tree behind him, even if this set of books is boycotted, it can't stop its circulation, if their names are also left on it, they will be famous.

was pointed at his nose and scolded, but Su Qiao's smile remained unchanged, he opened a book, pointed to the inner page and said: "I am the editor-in-chief, but there are still two names missing from the deputy editor, if you make me happy, I can also consider it." ”

Whether this fame is good or bad, it is better than obscurity.

It's not that he picks the door and uses inferior paper, after all, the money is sold in front, so you can't let the person who spends the money feel the difference.

There are few literate people in Lanzhou, and the Four Books and Five Classics are decorations for them, putting dust on the shelves, and usually reciting a few famous words casually, as if they were also vassals.

If these books are sent there by Su Qiao, it will definitely set off a storm, some people may disdain, but some people will use his books, and even carefully study his interpretation, Su Qiao will have a basis for his words.

Fair play means that the six of them have their own talents, and he will give whoever they want to be famous if they see who can please him, which seems uncomplicated, but it is actually very troublesome, because they don't know what to do and how much to do it, so that they can be regarded as having an appetite for him.

That's right, no matter how cheap this set of four books and five classics is, no matter how many people buy it, Wen Yunxi has to afford it, although Wen Yunxi has a lot of money, but she only spent a large amount of resettlement fees not long ago, and the daily expenses of Pingxiba are not small, how can she spend too much money on it.

Zhang Xu almost couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, what do you mean by being polite, has Su Qiao been polite to them? Relying on the good literary talents, relying on the support of Wen Yunxi, which time did not make them angry to death.

Among them, Liu Lin made some money in the past few years in Lanzhou, and wanted to use the money to donate a deputy editor to himself, so he said: "These books cost a lot, and the foolish brother still has some money in his hands, and he can't bear to let Mr. Wen Shu spend so much, and he can be regarded as doing more for those students." ”

It didn't take long for him to struggle, and someone immediately changed his attitude, "Mr. Wen Shu is benevolent and righteous, Qin Yu admires it, and if you can use it in the future, just greet Qin Yu." ”

The Ministry of Culture and Propaganda is different from other places, although they all have official positions, when they are in the yamen, they are all used to use the literati title, Su Qiao is called Mr. Wenshu, so the title is the greatest respect.

Zhang Xuwen is self-aware of this, if he can flatter, he will not find a job when he is in the imperial city, and he does not put his mind on it, "May I ask Brother Su, why two thousand volumes?" ”

With Zhang Xu at the beginning, others also expressed their friendship, Zhang Xuwen has never liked compliments, and he fell to the end.

Seeing that they were so shocked that they opened their mouths, Su Qiao continued: "It's a pity that we don't have any readers in Lanzhou, and I can't bear to let those books be empty, so I can only send them to the nearby state capital to reduce the burden on poor students." ”

"How many sets have you printed?" Zhang Xuwen closed the book and asked curiously.

Anyway, it will spread soon, and Su Qiao didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "The money earned from selling books in Lanzhou is just enough to print 2,000 sets." ”

"You...... You have bad intentions! ”

"Wen Yunxi is so generous?!"

Free delivery?!

Su Qiao glanced at him and shook his finger, "That's not good, you have to compete fairly." ”

"A hundred sets were printed." Su Qiao understood their thoughts, and when he saw that they were relieved, he changed his words again, "There are still two thousand sets that have not been left the warehouse, and the paper of those books is poor, and I am embarrassed to charge them money, so I will give them away for free." ”

Hundreds of thousands of wages per month, newspaper income, commercial street shops, all make people drool when they come out alone, but Su Qiao accounts for a perfect ten.

"What, envy me?" Su Qiao smiled even more proudly, "It's a pity that it's too late, she met an amazing genius like me, where can she still look up to you." ”

Envy, of course envy, that's a paper mill! Who doesn't know that paper is expensive, who doesn't have a headache for buying paper, Su Qiao actually has a paper mill!

Being looked at enviously by everyone, Su Qiao smiled proudly, but there was some bitterness in his heart, these people only saw his current scenery, and they didn't know how many all-nighters he had been squeezed by Wen Yunxi.
