The highest price of a book in Lanling Bookstore was only 200 yuan. In half a day, it caused a sensation in the whole city!
Every household rushed to the five districts in the capital, east, west, south, north and middle, to buy books.
Fortunately, Lanling Bookstore's first release stipulates that each person is limited to purchasing one set, and reminds everyone: books worth less than 200 yuan are on sale for a long time, and hoarding books maliciously will definitely result in losses.
Even so, there are still many people with their families, each of whom buys a complete set of eleven books for fear of running out of books.
Some people buy a set, store it at home, and then take a carriage to another city to line up.
The books currently on the market start at a thousand yuan, and used books can be sold for several hundred yuan.
These people were preparing to go out, and they all wanted to take these books and resell them in other places before the news spread. They would definitely make a fortune!
Considering the current printing pressure, Liang Xiao did not print "Journey to the West".
Otherwise, "Journey to the West" is enough to be divided into several volumes and printed in several volumes.
The promotion of serious books is a top priority.
In the secret room of the Duanmu family, representatives from all the families gathered together. Even important officials of the court such as Tuoba Lie, Duanmu Jie and Duanmu Cao were present.
"This Liang Xiao is simply unpardonable!" Duanmu Cao finally couldn't bear it anymore and almost broke his silver teeth.
Dugu Chen said in a deep voice: "Masters, please calm down! Now we should stabilize Liang Xiao, and then immediately send people to study technology and strive to reduce labor costs as soon as possible!"
Tuoba Jun said solemnly: "I already have an idea. Maybe the problem lies in the ink and the engraving plate. Use better materials to engrave iron plates, copper plates or wooden boards, and then use re-mixed ink. You can try it."
Everyone felt relieved, and Tuoba Lie asked: "Who is going to talk to Liang Xiao?"
Dugu Chen volunteered, with a meaningful smile on his face: "It's time for me to meet this guy and see how much he weighs!"
In the courtyard of Liang Xiao in the Lanling Marquis Mansion, Duan Yunxiu nestled in Liang Xiao's arms with a happy face.
Jiang Fuxue saw this and was surprised and happy.
It would be great if every future sister-in-law could be as worry-free as her eldest and second sisters!
"Brother Xiao's bookshop has opened. My imperial sister and the Prime Minister are so happy! Brother Xiao is the most powerful~"
"There is something I want to confess to Brother Xiao... In fact, those banknotes I gave you for the first time were the pension my imperial sister asked me to give you!"
"Oh?" Liang Xiao smiled half-heartedly, looking at the girl who was as docile as a kitten in her arms.
"My imperial sister's budget is for me to gradually give brother Xiao a pension of five thousand taels to twenty thousand taels to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Then, in the name of paying you to write poems, I will first give You have one thousand taels, and I will continue to give you money when you are short of money. So, in fact, I deceived Brother Xiao. Even if you didn't write a poem, the money would have been yours..."
As she spoke, the girl felt ashamed and did not dare to look directly at Liang Xiao.
"That's it." Liang Xiao sighed.
"If Brother Xiao is angry, you can punish him..." Duan Yunxiu murmured weakly.
Liang Xiao gently stroked her green hair and said with a smile: "How can I bear to be angry with you? Those poems should have been given to you for free."
Duan Yunxiu felt happy, but unexpectedly Liang Xiao changed the topic.
"But now you have to say something to make your brother Xiao happy."
Hearing this, Duan Yunxiu raised her head and looked at his face lovingly. When she saw him staring at her, her heart suddenly became confused. She mustered up her courage and kissed him on the neck, then kissed him again. He rubbed it in his arms.
After a moment, the girl's delicate voice came from Liang Xiao's arms.
"Husband, I love you very much."
Jiang Fuxue and Feiyun, who was standing behind Duan Yunxiu, were stunned and felt that their teeth were about to get sore.
Whose princess is this, so brave?
Liang Xiao's bones almost melted, and he said with a righteous look on his face: "Xue'er, this goblin dares to break his brother's heart, you guys should step aside, the poor monk must be punished!!"
Feiyun turned around knowingly, and Jiang Fuxue got up and ran back to her room, secretly opening the window to watch.
The moonlight shines on the snowy night and also illuminates the gentle couple in the yard.
It wasn't until Duan Yunxiu was almost out of breath that Liang Xiao reluctantly let go of her lips.
Duan Yunxiu's face was flushed and his eyes were wandering. How dare he look at Liang Xiao.
She was so excited just now that she forgot that Jiang Fuxue and Feiyun were present. Now she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
While rubbing their temples together, Duan Yunxiu heard Liang Xiao's whisper.
"I'm happy every moment I'm with you, how can I be angry with you."
The girl was filled with emotion and was about to continue kissing her when she heard Gu Pingxiu's call from outside.
"Master Hou, Dugu Chen wants to see you!"
Why is this Captain Xuanwei so annoying!
Duan Yunxiu suppressed the resentment in his heart and said softly: "Brother Xiao, I will accompany Xue'er~"
Liang Xiao understood, then let go of Duan Yunxiu and asked Feiyun to take her to Jiang Fuxue's room to hide, and then called to Gu Pingxiu outside: "Bring him here to see me."
Duan Yunxiu and Jiang Fuxue were curious for a moment and hid in the window to observe secretly.
In the yard, Dugu Chen and Liang Xiao looked at each other with calm expressions.
After a long time, Dugu Chen finally couldn't bear the silent atmosphere and said with a smile: "Marquis Lanling, a book of two hundred words is too cheap?"
Liang Xiao smiled half-heartedly and said, "Is there any problem with being cheap?"
"The problem is huge! How can you have trouble with money?" Dugu Chen said in a deep voice.
Liang Xiao said sincerely: "Then I have to listen carefully to Jiangbei Young Master's opinions."
Dugu Chen said sadly: "The handwritten books on the market start at a thousand words each! The books published by your bookstore are of high quality and can be preserved for a long time. The price difference between the two is more than 800 words, of which There is so much room for profit, you sold it too hastily!”
"The book industry in Dazhou has always been jointly controlled by a few of us. We are very clear about the distribution of scholars and wealthy households in the country. As long as you and I cooperate, your book will be sold to us for 300 yuan, and we will start selling it for 500 yuan. , why worry about not selling well all over the country!"
"Selling three hundred coins to you?" Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Dugu Chen.
Gu Pingxiu gritted his teeth secretly.
In the afternoon, he saw his master and princess trying not to cry with joy, but their eyes were already red.
Promoting education is the great ambition left by our ancestors since the founding of our country!
After all, these people from big aristocratic families can’t sit still.
"Not bad! Not to mention how much trouble you have saved by earning an extra hundred cents, while we only earn two hundred cents of hard-earned money. We will benefit from each other and we will be friends from now on! However, the premise is that we need to sign a contract. As long as we have a few If you sell it on your behalf, other merchants including Lanling Bookstore can no longer sell your books." Dugu Chen nodded.
"No." Liang Xiao shook his head.
Dugu Chen had expected it and said quickly: "If you are not satisfied with the three hundred wen, we can talk again! You can also put forward some substantive conditions, and we will try our best to satisfy you, including but not limited to the support of the court. !”
"I said, no." Liang Xiao looked calm.
Dugu Chen said earnestly: "Marquis Lanling, this is a good opportunity for you and the various families to settle the old grudges and turn enemies into friends. From now on, we can cooperate seamlessly and make a fortune together, okay?"
Liang Xiao shook his head again and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter to me how much money my book can make. Reconciling with the aristocratic family, making a fortune together, etc., is not important at all."
Dugu Chen also said sincerely: "Then please ask Lanling Marquis for advice. What's important?"
Liang Xiao looked at Dugu Chen with a smile and said word by word: "The book industry without your family is very important to me."
Dugu Chen's breath was stagnant, and a cold air rushed straight through the sky.
At this moment, when he met Liang Xiao's gaze, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
