Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 147 (Subscription)
The acquisition of the bookstore soon took shape. As Xue San said, since the new emperor came to power, the censorship and control of books has been quite strict. Many small bookstores could not continue to operate, and they were sold off one after another.

But there are very few successors. After all, the risk is too great. Once there is a mistake, it will be a matter of losing your head.

According to the price given by Chen Jin, Xue San quickly found three bookstores for sale, forming a buyer's market and suppressing the prices again.

The final negotiated price was more than [-]% lower than that of Gaosheng Bookstore for printing.

When buying this bookstore, Chen Jin didn't intend to make a long-term business. How could he have the skills?
Originally, I could also talk to Xiaoshufang about short-term rental cooperation, but if the other party wants to take the responsibility, all articles will definitely be reviewed by then, and I don’t know how long it will take.

For this reason, I just bought it directly, and I can do whatever I want, just for a quick one.

With the bookstore, the next step is the content.

All the articles have been written, and Su Xiaowen's comments are in place. The title of the book is "33 Anthology", which is simple and easy to remember.

Here, Chen Jin kept an eye out and did not directly sign the name, but took a pen name of "Anonymous", which happened to correspond to the teacher's "Yi Shi".

Everything is ready, start working immediately, consume all the ready-made materials, and finally make three hundred books.

This amount is not too much, but it is also a lot.

As for the quality of the finished product, it is indeed relatively rough. The advantage is that the font is clear and does not hinder reading, which is enough.

Unlike those produced by Dashufang, these anthologies do not have any address and name information printed on them, which looks less formal.

Chen Jin packed up all the books and transported them back to the house for placement. In a short time, he did not intend to put them on the market for sale, and had to wait for an opportunity.

After the book was printed, the small bookstore was dealt with, simply and rudely, directly canceling the account and disbanding.

Since then, Jiangzhou has lost another bookstore, but it has not caused any waves.

Such an approach is indeed straightforward, but the consequences of the large-scale waste are:

No money again!

Chen Jin's efficiency in making money is not low. The last time he received a reward from the patrolling department, he sold ghosts and gods, plus some windfalls, and the embellishment pen given by Qiuyue Tower...

The sum of all kinds is quite considerable.

If an ordinary family had so much money and used it to buy fields and land, they could become country gentry and landlords in a flash.

But in Chen Jin's hands, it was already spent in a short period of time, and it became stretched again.

No way, his daily expenses are simply too high.

But unlike the extravagance and waste of the rich and powerful, the money Chen Jin spent was basically necessary, including buying a bookstore and closing the account this time. The ultimate purpose was mainly to erase the traces left behind.

These things may be superfluous, and there is no need to do this. After all, the articles printed are all written in an upright manner, and there is no fault.

However, Chen Jin still did it, so he just did it conveniently.

In the eyes of others, such an approach itself is very illogical.

Normally, writing and publishing a book is either for money or fame, but why is Chen Jin going all this trouble?
Hard to understand.

Only Chen Jin himself knows what exactly he is after.

The three hundred copies of "33 Collected Works" are seeds, sparks, and will appear on the market in the future. If they can be sold well, I believe that there will be various reprints soon.

That's something that can't be stopped.

He didn't intend to stop it either.

Those articles are different from Fengyuewen. "Boundless Fengyuexiaoxia" was rewritten by many people indiscriminately, and the follow-up content was messed up and basically ruined; but the article will not be tampered with.

So the more people watch it, the more people learn it, and the more people like it, the stronger the feedback effect "Li Yan Pian" will get, and the literary charm will continue to flow...

This is Chen Jin's ultimate goal.

As for Su Xiaowen's great wish of "everyone has books to read", so far, it can only be a good wish.

Change cannot be achieved overnight.

It was quick to return to poverty, as if overnight, Chen Jin became poor, and had to find ways to find money.

……

"My lord, the song "Butterfly Love Flower" you wrote was composed into a song, played and sung by Miss Qingyue, and it spread quickly. Now many people outside call you 'Girl with Wider Clothes'. My lord." , you are going to be famous!"

Chu Xiucai said excitedly.

Originally, in the Wenkui competition, Chen Jin suddenly emerged and ranked among the best, which can be regarded as showing his face.However, there was a lot of turmoil that night, and too many things happened, and the enthusiasm for the Wenkui Contest was suppressed.

"The belt is getting wider?"

Chen Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Is this praise?Obviously damaged...

Being given such a "nickname" can't be happy.

Chu Xiucai didn't think too much about it: "My lord, many people have come to visit the study these days, but you are not here."

He didn't know about printing books.

Chen Jin was more concerned about the spread of "Butterfly Love Flower", so he asked. After learning about it, he found that he still underestimated the influence of Chunlou Goulan in this era.

In the Qian Dynasty, where entertainment was scarce, the Land of Fengyue was the most popular place, integrating entertainment, making friends, discussing business, and reporting information, it seemed to belong to the hub area.

As an affectionate lyrics, "Butterfly Love Flower" immediately received a huge market response once it was released.

Whether it is songs, prose, dramas, or poems, etc., the routines of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies will never go out of date and are most talked about by people.

The form of "Butterfly Love Flower" is different, but the core is still the set of talented scholars and beautiful ladies. It has created a gifted scholar with deep affection, let alone a "Yi Ren".Once people read it, it is easy to substitute in.

Especially for those young girls who are raised in deep boudoirs, which heart does not want to meet an affectionate talent, and is willing to "grow the clothes and never regret it" for themselves?
As soon as this song was sung, it quickly became popular.Although Qingyue from Qiuyuelou was the first to sing, Chunlou from Biejia followed up one after another and let the girls under him play and sing.

Although Qiuyuelou was unhappy about this, there was nothing they could do about it. They couldn't go to court because of it.

Fortunately, the signboard of Qiuyue Building has been sold out, the market has reversed, and the recent absorption has increased significantly.

The one who benefited the most was naturally Qingyue, many wealthy sons lined up to make an appointment, quite like "the youths of Wuling are fighting for their heads, and the number of red silks is unknown".Some experts stated clearly that if Qingyue could play this song before the selection, she would definitely be selected as the golden hairpin.

Hearing these things, Chen Jin has a sense of "modern Internet celebrity", probably so.

Chu Xiucai went on to say: "Several spring buildings have come to invite you to be a guest, most of them want to invite you to write new poems; there are also people who want to invite you to join the poetry club; and some scholars want to ask you to compete in poetry."

"Dou Shi?"

Chen Jin couldn't help laughing, why did he act like a gangster, drawing swords every now and then, fighting each other to compete.

No wonder, as the saying goes: Wen Wu first, Wu Wu second.

"Young master, how do you reply to them?"

"Don't worry about it for now, new words are not so easy to write."

Chu Xiucai's eyes lit up: "I understand."

However, he thought that Chen Jin was going to be sold for a price, and a masterpiece was rare, so it shouldn't be given to others easily.

During this period of time, the business of Sanwei Study was basically handed over to Chu Xiucai. After the temple fair, the street returned to the usual lightness, but Chen Jin became a "beautiful man with widening belts" and became famous, which invisibly brought fame to the study. , in a remote place, the passenger flow is much better than other places.

Seeing this, Chen Jin took the opportunity to write several pieces of calligraphy and asked Chu Xiucai to hang them up for sale.

However, this batch of calligraphy no longer writes nouns and good sentences, but uses common words and characters, and the price remains unchanged, still one or two.

Although Chu Xiucai had doubts, he didn't say much, and followed the instructions.

Back in the courtyard, in the room, Chen Jin entered the interior to check the latest status of "Li Yan Pian".

On one of the pages of the book, "Butterfly Love Flower" is impressively recorded, and the literary charm condensed between the lines is very lush, surpassing the others.

From this we can see how popular this poem is.

Chen Jin thought to himself, according to this method, if ten or eight masterpieces handed down from ancient times are brought out in one go, wouldn't the literary spirit and charm be easily obtained?

After thinking about it again, I felt something was wrong.

It's refreshing to do copywriting, but you have to pay attention to timing and logic in everything, and you can't be too greedy. Greed is too greedy, and it is easy to make money fool your mind.

Greed is also a delusion.

He calmed down quickly, and talked with his teacher about the fact that "33 Anthology" had been printed, but the sale was postponed.

Su Xiaowen said approvingly: "Shou Heng, you are doing the right thing. You must know this world, if you want to commit a crime, why is there no excuse?"

"Teacher, I will be careful."

Chen Jin didn't want to be too showy, but the limelight found him

The person who came to visit this time was Wang Yubao, one of the Wang's reading seeds.

Compared with his cousin Wang Yujun, who is wild and unruly, Wang Yubao is much quieter, and his body is a little thinner. His conversation is elegant, giving people a kind of peaceful and approachable feeling, and getting along comfortably.

Wang Yubao and Chen Jin greeted each other before the Wenkui Contest last time at the Confucian Temple, and they were considered acquaintances, so this meeting did not seem abrupt:

"Brother Conservation, you are really a blockbuster."

Chen Jin smiled: "Brother Wang is too famous."

Wang Yubao said solemnly: "It's nothing but reputation. I don't know how many literati can't write this "Butterfly Love Flower" in their entire lives. 'The belt is getting wider and I will never regret it, and I will make people haggard for Yixiao', such a wonderful sentence." , It's really amazing. What I'm curious about is, who is that Iraqi?"

Chen Jin replied, "It's my teacher's daughter."

Wang Yubao hurriedly said: "So it's the Su family's daughter, no wonder."

The relationship between Chen Jin and Su Xiaowen is not a secret, it has been spread in Jiangzhou Shilin.Su Xiaowen has been demoted to South of the Five Ridges for many years, and has been depressed all the time. His reputation in South of the Five Ridges is nothing.However, he came from a famous family, and this background alone has a certain weight.

The scholarly ethos of the Qian Dynasty not only ranked seniority, but also paid attention to the background of teachers.

To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter if you are a child from a poor family, but you must worship under a famous teacher, so that you can get "long admiration" from others.

The relationship between heaven and earth, master and master, and the relationship between teachers and students is really crucial, and can even determine the fate of a lifetime.

Su Xiaowen's situation is a bit special, he was placed in Gaozhou, opened his doors widely, and accepted students of all kinds, with a large number of students.

Among them, it is natural to divide intimacy and estrangement.

When the teacher was wronged and imprisoned, Chen Jin's predecessor dared to beat the drums to protest his grievances, and was imprisoned together with Su Xiaowen.

Such loyalty and loyalty really solidify the friendship between teachers and students.

But for the onlookers, they don't know much about it. They often only hear the name, but don't know the person. Through various rumors, they construct a story that suits their own perceptions, which is enough to move them.

For example, now, Wang Yubao doesn't know who Su Xiaowen's daughter is or what her surname is, but through the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers", he can imagine a romantic story about a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman.

How did Chen Jin know that the other party would think so much?
He placed the inspiration for writing "Butterfly Love Flower" on Su Jin for better explanation, and it fits the situation.

There should be a touching story behind every masterpiece, and there is nothing wrong with that.It not only meets the expectations of the public, but also spreads better.

With only poems and no stories, the enthusiasm will soon dissipate.

Today Wang Yubao came to Chen Jin not to ask him to write poems and lyrics, but to chat and show a sympathetic attitude. He didn't even ask Chen Jin to join Wang's Poetry Club, just treating them as friends.

After chatting, Wang Yubao got up to say goodbye and got into the carriage.When he was leaving, he poked his head out and waved goodbye, with an air of reluctance.

Seeing this, Chu Xiucai said enviously: "I heard that Yu Bao, Wang's family, is approachable and courteous corporal. Now I see him, he is indeed a modest son."

Chen Jin curled his lips, and corrected: "The so-called 'honest and virtuous corporal', first of all, the other party must be a 'scholar'. This is a prerequisite, but I have never heard of 'honor and virtuous servants'."

Chu Xiucai was stunned for a moment, hearing these words was a bit confusing, and couldn't understand it for a while, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "My lord, what do you mean?"

Chen Jin laughed: "It's not interesting, it's just chatting."

Wang Yubao's behavior was indeed Confucian and refined, but Chen Jin didn't think that the seeds of reading for a famous family would be so simple.What is certain is that the other party has neither practiced martial arts nor practiced Taoism. On this point, he is very pure.

Back in the shop, Chen Jin asked: "Where are the invitations for famous assassins these days? Show me all of them."

In interpersonal communication, unless there are friendly friends, there are very few people who come to visit each other directly, and they send people to hand over greeting cards to show etiquette and respect.

Of course, because of the high and low comparison of identities, the meaning of the actual scene will be different.

For example, if Wang Yubao came directly to Sanwei Study, he would belong to Corporal Lixian.

Chu Xiucai quickly came over with a large stack of papers, and put them on the table: "Master, they are all here, most of them are from various spring towers."

"Butterfly Love Flower" became famous in Qiuyue Tower, and other Goulan naturally wanted to follow suit, forming a follow-up effect.

Chen Jin sat down and looked at each piece.

Chu Xiucai couldn't help asking: "My lord, are you going to write new words again?"

Chen Jin replied: "I've run out of money, and I want to get some retouching pens."

Chu Xiucai didn't know the inside story, and only thought he was joking, secretly delighted: I have another chance to go to the high-end Goulan to listen to music for free...
