In the courtyard, Zhang Bairen sat on the stone table, reading the manuscript in his hand.

Three days have passed, and he has written 100,000 words of "Liao Zhai".

With the previous 50,000 words, Zhang Bairen has already written 150,000 words.

For [Liao Zhai], which originally only had 530,000 words, Zhang Bairen could write all the Liao Zhai within half a month.

It's not that Zhang Bairen is diligent, but Zhang Bairen likes this model, working hard for a month and taking a year off.

And then every day to make money, this is the life that Zhang Bairen wants.

Shui Yanran came to Zhang Bairen's side and sat down, looking at Zhang Bairen with admiration.

"Brother Bainin, the book you wrote is so beautiful. ”

Zhang Bairen smiled indifferently and said, "I know this." ”

In the past three days, many dignitaries and nobles have come to visit Zhang Bairen, all of whom are rushing to [Liao Zhai].

The 10,000 words sent by Zhang Bairen can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, attracting the entire Chang'an City.

Whether it is ordinary people or high-ranking officials and aristocrats, they are all in love with [Liao Zhai].

Even Wei Zheng, the prime minister of the dynasty, came to Zhang's mansion, but unlike others, Wei Zheng did not let Zhang Bairen speed up his writing.

And said some words of hush and warmth.

Wei Zheng knew that inspiration was needed for creation, and spirit was needed for writing, and the speed of writing books was very slow.

But Wei Zheng didn't know how fast Zhang Bairen's hand speed was.

Wei Zheng didn't know what hand speed was.

"Yanran, it just so happens that you are here, and I still want someone to call you? Go, come with me to the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"What are you doing in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Shui Yanran said with a curious expression, but Shui Yanran was still very happy.

It's been six or seven days since she came to Chang'an City, and she hasn't been out of Zhang's Mansion yet, Shui Yanran is also a little panicked, and wants to go out to have a look.

"Let's discuss the issue of genuine printing. ”

Zhang Bairen said, stood up, held a folding fan, and walked slowly.

Shui Yanran's face was overjoyed, and she immediately knew what Zhang Bairen was going to do.

When he was in Aolai Kingdom, Zhang Bairen had discussed this issue with his father.

And after this matter is decided, it means that Zhang Bairen's book will be released.

Out of the door, the carriage was ready.

Zhang Bairen and Shui Yanran sat up, the carriage moved, and drove towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not far from the Imperial Palace, and the Zhang Mansion is not too far from the Imperial Palace, so the distance between the two is only more than ten miles.

Along the way, Shui Yanran was like a curious baby, lifting the curtain and looking out.

"Brother Bainin, after this period of time, let's go for a tour of the mountains and rivers, okay?"

"Okay, then in a few days, I'll take you to Cuihua Mountain to play. Zhang Bairen smiled.

"Brother Bainin, you are so good. Shui Yanran hugged Zhang Bairen's arm.

This made Zhang Bairen's heart tremble, and he was a little uneasy, that softness..... Zhang Bairen closed his eyes and enjoyed.

After a journey of more than ten miles, I soon came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhang Bairen and Shui Yanran got out of the car, but what caught their eyes was a not very gorgeous mansion, which was much inferior to Zhang's mansion.

The mansion gate is still a little dilapidated, it seems that this is similar to the history of the previous life, and the Tang Emperor was not good to Wei Zheng.

The inscription on the door of the mansion and the couplet in front of the door add a bookish atmosphere to the prime minister's mansion.

Come to the door.

Bang, bang.

Three knocks on the door.

A moment later, the door of the mansion opened, and a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper appeared in front of Zhang Bairen.

"You are Zhang Gongzi, right! The prime minister went to the early court, but the prime minister ordered, if Zhang Gongzi came, please go to the guest hall first. ”

"Mr. Zhang, please. ”

"There is Lao to lead the way. ”

The housekeeper was in front, Zhang Bairen and Shui Yanran were behind, and after entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, they found that the Prime Minister's Mansion was really small enough.

Not to say that it is a large mansion with a few entrances and exits, but a small single-entry courtyard, but the layout in this courtyard is somewhat elegant and quiet.

"Is the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Heavenly Empire so simple?Brother Bairen, isn't it as good as our family here?" Shui Yanran whispered beside Zhang Bairen.

"Yanran, you don't understand this, this place is elegant and quiet, if it weren't for my vulgarity, I would also like to live in such a mansion. ”

Zhang Bairen said with a smile.

Of course, Zhang Bairen is just talking on the surface, and he still wants to live an aristocratic life in his heart.

When I came to the guest hall, the housekeeper served two cups of tea.

At this time, Zhang Bairen found out that there was not even a maid in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.

It seems that Wei Zheng doesn't even have a daughter-in-law!

But there must be a cook, or what will they eat until noon?

Zhang Bairen is not thinking about others, he is thinking about himself and Shui Yanran.

"Look at this hour, Xiangye should be back soon, Zhang Gongzi will wait for a while. ”

The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion has no shelf, and he is very respectful to Zhang Bairen.

The butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a seven-grade official, this seems to be a little different!

Zhang Bairen didn't care about this, after all, he was just a housekeeper, what he cared about was whether he could talk about it this time, which was related to his future source of money.

"Brother Bairen, this prime minister is so pitiful, Emperor Tang didn't even give him a bigger courtyard. Shui Yanran entered the mansion and saw that now, there was not even a single valuable.

"It's not pitiful, it's just that I'm not tactful enough. Zhang Bairen laughed lightly.

"It's a prime minister, the face of a country, such a mansion, even ours is not as good as ours. ”

"Yanran, you are wrong, did you see the sword enshrined there? This was given to him by Emperor Tang, and it is worth as much as ten of our family's mansions. ”

Zhang Bairen pointed to the sword on the main shelf of the guest hall.

This sword, Zhang Bairen knows what kind of treasure it is, and it is absolutely priceless.

"Oh, doesn't Zhang Gongzi know this sword?"

Wei Zheng slowly walked into the living hall and looked at Zhang Bairen with a smile: "Let Zhang Gongzi wait for a long time." ”

"The prime minister is the prime minister of a country, and he is busy with official business, so he can take time out to meet Bairen, which makes Bairen very grateful. Zhang Bairen hurriedly got up and bowed slightly to Wei Zheng.

This Wei Zheng is the head of the Confucian Palace, the head of contemporary Confucianism, and the real Confucian.

"Zhang Gongzi said in one mouth, this sword was given by His Majesty, don't you know the origin of the sword?" Wei Zheng said with a smile and made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Bairen.

Zhang Bairen opened his mouth and said: "This sword should be cast by Ou Yezi and the two masters of the cadre, its real name is Longyuan Sword, and then it fell into the hands of the first emperor, and Yuan was changed to Quan, this sword should be Longquan Sword, I don't know if what Bairen said is right?"

"Zhang Gongzi is erudite and talented, but he didn't expect to be even more knowledgeable. Wei Zheng said with a smile.

"It's only a hundred forbearances to learn, not as good as the prime minister. Zhang Bairen said humbly.

"Zhang Gongzi is humble, Wei can't write such a masterpiece as [Red Mansion], [Three Kingdoms] and [Liao Zhai]. ”

Wei Zheng admired Zhang Bairen very much.

When Zhang Bairen heard this, he smiled awkwardly, he was just a copyist at best, and the one in front of him was a real Confucian.

Immediately, Zhang Bairen returned to the truth and talked about what he had come.

"Bairen came to discuss the copyright matter with the prime minister, I wonder if the prime minister has already decided?"

Wei Zheng was very surprised by what Zhang Bairen said about the copyright two days ago, as well as the genuine version, he had never been in contact with this matter.

But hearing Zhang Bairen's narration, this is very beneficial to Datang.

Therefore, in the early dynasty today, Wei Zheng told the Tang Emperor and the civil and military officials about the copyright and the genuine version in the Jinluan Palace.

"I can't be the master of this matter, but tomorrow morning, Your Majesty will summon you to discuss the copyright in your mouth. ”
