The original old house of the Ji family has now been cleaned up. This place used to have five courtyards and dozens of rooms, but now they are all empty. Chen Yue walked around in it and locked the door first.
He doesn't want to live in such a house. In the future, if Donglin Academy develops well, he can adapt plays and star in them here.
After going around like this, Chen Yue came to Donglin Academy. The shopkeeper here is called Xie Ziyu. He is in his thirties and holds an abacus in his hand. When he saw Chen Yue coming here, Xie Ziyu crackled his abacus and quickly told Chen Yue Recent losses.
"My boss, Ji's Academy was originally one of the largest libraries in Zhengyang, but after the Ji family was robbed, Qingjiang Academy and Chongwen Academy joined forces and took away all the academies we cooperated with."
Xie Ziyu said: "If you don't take any action, Donglin Academy will close when it opens."
According to Xie Ziyu, there are about thirty clerks in Donglin Bookstore. The main source of income is the bookstore in Zhengyang Mansion. As for the sale of books and periodicals, these are all small-scale. With these, it cannot support a bookstore. .
Chen Yue understood that there was always some connection between the publishing house and the school.
"These are only temporary and we will get them back later."
Chen Yue did not intend to use his connections. After all, Qingjiang Bookstore and Chongwen Hall were also famous booksellers in Zhengyang Mansion, and they also had people behind them. Chen Yue did not want to involve Zhao Xiu in these business-level matters. Let Zhao Xiu charge into battle for him again.
You can completely run your business on your own.
You can even change the track directly and take another route.
""Lian Er Chun" has not been able to sell recently?"
Chen Yue saw Lian Erchun piled up on the desk and asked.
"Most of the book hall's business only makes the first wave."
Xie Ziyu said: "In the second wave and the third wave, there will be cheaper notebooks on the market, and people will not come to buy them."
Chen Yue nodded. There is no such thing as copyright these days. When Lian Erchun is put on the market, people can freely add content to it, and then print it and sell it. When the booksellers got the book, they saw something dissatisfied about it. You can delete it directly and rewrite it.
"And I heard that Qingjiang Shutang and Chongwen Hall are now following Lian Erchun's path and have made appointments with several famous writers to write manuscripts there overnight and are ready to publish them."
Xie Ziyu said.
This made Chen Yue burst into laughter. Does this mean that Qingjiang Academy wants to have its own Lian Erchun? Can't you be stuck by Donglin Academy?
"Master, how can you still laugh?"
Xie Ziyu saw Chen Yue smiling and said anxiously.
"Don't worry, let me take a look first."
Chen Yue was not in a hurry. He looked at the accounts of Donglin Bookstore and said, "Now our printing has stopped, and the scriptures were taken away from the bookstore. They cannot be sold at this time. We should hold a promotion now. .”
While he was thinking, someone came in from Donglin Academy. Chen Yue looked up and saw that it was Gu Changyang, the Lianpi.
"Shopkeeper Chen."
Gu Changyang saw Chen Yue and greeted him cheerfully.
Chen Yue greeted Gu Changyang, sat down, and poured tea.
"I'm here today specifically to help you out."
Gu Changyang did not show off, and said simply and neatly: "I heard about the embarrassment here at Donglin Academy, and it just so happened that my Lian Erchun review book has been written, and this book happens to be published here at Donglin Academy. I will I’ll call on my disciples and find a place to show off a few words about Prince Teng’s Pavilion. This will naturally attract people to buy it, how about it?”
Chen Yue took Gu Changyang's notebook and opened it. Most of the poems in it were written by Gu Changyang. They were all from this world, but Gu Changyang also had his feelings about Lian Erchun. Among them, the preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion is also emphasized on meeting Chen Yue in person, and then Chen Yue wrote it, giving out cultural treasures, gold, etc.
From now on, it will become a good story.
"Thank you."
Chen Yue surrendered to Gu Changyang.
Seeing this, Gu Changyang came over again and asked, "These days, your Newspeak book has become somewhat familiar, right?"
Chen Yue nodded and said, "You can write at any time."
At the end of "Lian Er Chun", the shame of Jingkang appeared, and both emperors were taken away. After this, Chen Yue thought of two plots, one of which was "Shuo Yue", which is Shan Yue. Tell the story of Yue Fei.
However, this story is quite confusing. It is said that Yue Zhong first wrote that Yue Fei was the reincarnation of the golden-winged roc beside Tathagata Buddha. He had a destiny and experienced tribulations when he descended to earth. Then there was no highlight in the whole story, and even Shi Quan committed an assassination in Qiantang. The plot of Qin Hui and Yue Fei's soul pulling Shi Quan to keep his name loyal for the rest of his life, and then Shi Quan was killed by Qin Hui.
It's better than the movie Riverdale.
From this, Chen Yue prepared to copy "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
In the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", although it is about Guo Jing's growth and love with Huang Rong, in this process, Guo Jing continued Yue Fei's spirit.
And Chen Yue can also use "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to explain some allusions to Lian Erchun.
"That's good."
Gu Changyang didn't ask any more questions, just said: "I want to see what other allusions you can make."
Chen Yue smiled, looked at Gu Changyang, and asked, "Does the scholar know the people in Tiangongyuan?"
Gu Changyang nodded naturally and asked why.
"I would like to ask the scholar to give me a recommendation. I would like to visit Tiangongyuan."
Chen Yue said.
In Zhengyang Mansion, what Chen Yue was extremely curious about was the Tiangong Institute, which almost represented Taiyuan's most advanced technology. Chen Yue had some ideas and needed to go to the Tiangong Institute to see if they could be realized.
"That's easy."
Gu Changyang said: "I will make an appointment with Tiangongyuan, and I will take you there then."
Chen Yue nodded and thanked him repeatedly.
The two people talked here for a while, and Chen Yue also got news from Gu Changyang. It was Gu Changyang's younger brother who brought Chen Yue's "Remonstrance to Taizong Ten Thoughts" to the emperor. It is said that the emperor's expression was It is very complicated, but due to Confucianism, it cannot occur.
"Although the Emperor has not had an attack, he will definitely take action in private."
Gu Changyang said to Chen Yue: "When you hear the surnames Xu, Shen, Han, and Yuan in Zhengyang Mansion, you should also think about it. In Tianjing City, it was the four of them who got your father. The royal family also kept a part of the body.”
When Chen Yue heard this, he took note of it carefully. Chen Bo had never mentioned much about grudges, and Chen Yue could only know a little bit about it from other people's words.
After talking with Gu Changyang here, Chen Yue sent Gu Changyang away. Chen Yue also handed the book Gu Changyang left to Xie Ziyu and asked him to print it out.
After making arrangements at Donglin Academy, Chen Yue settled down and began to write the words "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on paper.
The story that took over the ending events of Lian Er Chun was finished at this time.
