Chunyu Yue felt that things like Li Shui and Fu Yao were just childish tricks, and logically, he shouldn't be on the same level as them. To be honest, it would be embarrassing.
But...but these people are so annoying.
So Chunyu Yue said with a cold face: "If I lose, naturally everything will be done. But what if I win?"
Chunyu Yue took out the manuscript from his arms and said calmly: "I also have a book here. If the sales volume of my book exceeds that of Mr. Fu Yao, you will lose."
Li Shui took the book and his eyes widened: "Huh? The content of this book is somewhat similar to Fu Yao's."
Chunyu Yue almost died of anger: "If you don't know what to say, just shut up. What do you mean by similarity?"
Li Shuigan laughed and said, "I used the wrong word. What I mean is that the themes of the doctor's book and Fu Yao's book are somewhat similar."
Chunyu Yue said calmly: "There are indeed some similarities, but they are definitely not the same. I didn't see Fu Yao's purpose. And my purpose is to govern the country with Confucianism."
Li Shui nodded.
Chunyu Yue asked Li Shui: "When will this book be printed?"
Li Shui, Li Xin, and Fu Yao looked at each other and suddenly understood something. Chunyu Yue came here today, probably just to print books.
Li Shuidao: "My sister-in-law's books are all text, without pictures. They are relatively simple and can be printed quickly."
Chunyu Yue held back his breath and nodded: "Yes, my book is relatively simple."
Li Shui continued: "However, for the sake of our bet, it is better for my sister and father-in-law to wait for three or two days. When Fu Yao's book is printed, we can sell it together."
Chunyu Yue nodded: "Okay, but what will happen if you lose?"
Fu Yao said with a smile: "Of course I followed the rules. If I lose, when your book is reprinted, I will help you draw illustrations and write a letter of apology."
Li Shuiqian laughed: "Then I will waive your reprinting fee."
Li Xin also said with a smile: "I will help you sell books for three days at the entrance of the Banished Immortal Tower."
When Chunyu Yue heard this, he frowned: Why do I always feel that this is not punishing them, but me?
Chunyu Yue suddenly realized that Li Shui and his group were like a pile of filth. If it gets on it, it will stink, so it's better to stay away from it.
Chunyu Yue thought for a while and said: "I don't need those of yours anymore. I don't need them. I only have two requirements."
"First of all, in the future Huaiguzi should not talk nonsense or act recklessly in the court. Be polite and generous to others."
Li Shui agreed, and then asked: "What about the second item?"
Chunyu Yue said with a straight face: "The second rule is that you are not allowed to call me sister-in-law anymore. The three of you are not going to school."
When Li Xin heard this, he howled immediately: "I didn't expect that before my sister's body was cold, Chunyu Yue would not recognize this relative. She is so cold and mean, I want to pay homage to my sister."
Chunyu Yue felt a headache when he heard this: "That's it, you're not here anymore."
Li Xin suddenly grinned.
Li Shuiqian smiled: "Brother Li and I are brothers and sisters, almost half-brothers. His sister-in-law is no different from mine..."
Fu Yao also smiled dryly: "I am the apprentice of the Exalted Immortal. As the saying goes, once you are a teacher, you will always be a father..."
Chunyu Yue stared and said, "That's what my bet is. If you lose, no matter how eloquent you are, you can't have a relationship with me."
Li Shui and Fu Yao sighed: "That's all, let's just follow my sister-in-law."
Chunyu Yue couldn't wait to make this bet now.
Chunyu Yue handed the manuscript to Li Shui, and then asked a little uneasily: "If you lose the bet, you won't deny it, right?"
Li Shuiqian laughed: "Sister-in-law, your words are a bit insulting. How can a person gain a foothold in the world if he has no credibility?"
Chunyu Yue looked at Li Shui very suspiciously, as if "You also talk about credibility?"
Li Shuigan laughed and said to Chunyu Yue: "Sister-in-law, think about it, when did I, Huai Guzi, break my word? When did I fabricate the truth?"
Chunyu Yue recalled it and found that there really was no Ying.
Although this guy is shameless, even though he likes to quibble. But they are all based on facts and will not falsely accuse others. Even if you accuse someone of treason, you can still defend yourself.
Chunyu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and said, "I hope you can keep your word this time."
Li Shui took Chun Yuyue to the printing factory and said with a smile: "Books of different qualities can be produced at different costs. I wonder which one my sister-in-law wants?"
There are different sample books on the shelf. The binding and paper quality of the sample books are different.
The most expensive ones are naturally the most sophisticated ones. The worst thing is that I don't dare to compliment you.
Chunyu Yue looked at it. Although the binding of Fu Yao's Journey to the North was not the most convenient, it was still on the low end.
Chunyu Yue felt that he wanted to be distinguished from Fu Yao, and he had to be distinguished. His books were to be passed down to future generations.
So he chose a higher-end one and said, "That's it."
Li Shui reminded him enthusiastically: "The cost is relatively high, and when it is released, the price will be higher."
Chunyu Yue smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter. My book is worth thousands of gold, so naturally some people will flock to it."
Li Shuiqian laughed: "Yes, yes. Since my sister-in-law has such confidence, I don't have much else to say."
Chunyu Yue nodded and paid the deposit.
He thought for a while and then said: "The results of our competition are based on what? The number of copies sold, or the amount of money earned?"
When he said this, Chunyu Yue felt a little embarrassed. Talking about money is really vulgar.
However...Chun Yuyue still thinks it's better to be clearer. It would be terrible if Li Shui took advantage of him.
Li Shui said with a smile: "Of course it will be calculated based on the amount of money earned."
Chunyu Yue nodded. Then he said very cautiously: "You won't sell it for a price and then buy your own?"
Li Shui was stunned for a moment and thought: Talent is talent. The talents of the Qin Dynasty even thought of ways to launder money?
Li Shui thought for a while and said: "No, we have agreed that each book will be sold according to the price. The price should not exceed 20% of the cost. The prices are written at the end of the book. When the results are announced later, We will produce detailed accounts that will be absolutely fair, just and open."
Chunyu Yue was completely relieved now. Then he left with satisfaction.
After Chunyu Yue left, Fu Yaosheng asked Li Shui: "Master, are we really going to win?"
Li Shui patted Fu Yao on the shoulder: "What are you worried about? It doesn't matter if you lose, doesn't it mean that you can't call him sister-in-law? He is not my sister-in-law anyway."
Li Xin was stunned for a while after hearing this: "That's right, Brother Huai didn't lose anything at all. It's high, it's really high."
Fu Yao scratched his head: "However, if we win, we can let Dr. Chunyu write a letter of apology."
Li Shui smiled and said to Fu Yao: "Have confidence in yourself and read your books carefully as a teacher."
Li Xin also nodded vigorously: "I'm optimistic about it too."
Fu Yao suddenly smiled happily.
After hearing this, Xiangli Zhu, who was inspecting the printing factory, couldn't help but sneered: Huaiguzi? Li Xin? The two most ignorant people in Xianyang City. If they like your book, can your book be good? Poor Master Fuyao.
Xianglizhu shook his head, turned around and wanted to leave. Suddenly, she found that there were more people in the printing factory recently.
In addition to the craftsmen of the printing factory, there are many other people here.
Xiangli Zhu took a closer look and saw that there were blacksmiths forging iron, plowmen plowing the fields, and guards responsible for patrolling.
In short, many craftsmen from Shangjun Courtyard came here.
They formed a circle and stood huddled in a corner, not knowing what they were discussing.
Xianglizhu walked over and heard one of them suddenly stamp his feet and said in a hateful voice: "I really want to kill these corrupt officials."
Another person said: "Turn the page, it's time to turn the page, I've finished reading it already."
Compared with these tall and thick men, Xiangli Zhu is a bit delicate and cannot see the inside. She looked around, moved a wooden stake, stood on it, and looked inside.
She saw a book in the center, and the craftsmen were reading. There are very few words in the book, mostly pictures.
"This kind of book is very fresh." Xiangli Zhu thought silently.
After the craftsmen entered Shangjun Courtyard, Li Shui once organized them to learn Chinese characters, so most of them knew a few characters. Even if you can't recognize all the words in the book, you can still half-guess what they mean based on the pictures.
If it doesn't work, a craftsman who studies there will help explain.
Soon, these people turned to the second half and saw Fu Yao's vigorous and resolute actions to rectify the government.
Suddenly someone shouted: "Master Fu Yao is truly a blessing to the Qin Dynasty."
The people next to him nodded repeatedly, looked excited, and rubbed their hands vigorously.
Before these people entered Shangjun Courtyard, who was not a poor person? Who hasn't been angry? Therefore, the content in this book makes them feel the same. And what Fu Yao did in Beidi County also made them let out a bad breath.
This is probably the sense of substitution.
These Qin people have not experienced the baptism of ordinary people, so their threshold is very low. A comic book made them excited and hooked.
Xiangli Zhu climbed down from the wooden pile and stopped one of the craftsmen: "What are you looking at?"
The craftsman was reading anxiously and was a little impatient when he heard someone asking. But when he turned around and saw that it was Xiangli Zhu, he immediately became respectful and said in panic: "Miss Zhu, we are on holiday today and we are not on duty."
Xiangli Zhu rolled his eyes: "I'm not absent from work. I'm just asking what books you are reading."
The craftsman groaned and said, "This book is a new travelogue to the North written by Mr. Fu Yao. The content is very exciting."
Xiangli Zhu said lightly, thinking: So this is Fu Yao's book?
Suddenly, she felt a few malicious glances.
Xiangli Zhu turned around and saw Li Shui smiling at him.
Xiangli Zhu walked over in confusion and heard Li Shui say to Fu Yao, "Did you see it? Even Miss Zhu couldn't put it down, so she went into the crowd to read it."
Fu Yao said with a smile: "Yes, this way, I will be more confident about the sales volume."
Xianglizhu: "???"
Am I unable to put it down? Should I go into the crowd to see? I'm just curious what they are doing?
Li Shui came up shamelessly and said to Xiang Lizhu: "How about you write a page of recommendations? You are quite famous in our Xianyang City. Who doesn't know the great inventor of Shangjun Villa? Miss Li Zhu?"
Xianglizhu said calmly: "I don't want to write."
Li Shui said oh.
Xiangli Zhu turned around and left, but halfway through, he heard Li Shui say to Fu Yao: "She doesn't want to write, it doesn't matter, we can help her write. Praise as much as you can."
Xianglizhu was about to collapse: Can it still be like this? Want more face?
…………
After Li Shui came out of the printing shop, a craftsman reported that Zhao Tuo was here.
Li Shui nodded and went to see Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo was still dressed as a businessman and was there with two Meire.
Originally, Zhao Tuo had arrived a long time ago, but he was startled by Chun Yuyue at the door, and hurriedly slipped away. He hid nearby for a long time, and then he dared to come in when he found that Chun Yuyue had left.
Li Shui smiled and said, "Are these two beauties from Li Si's mansion?"
Zhao Tuo said: "Exactly. A few days ago, General Mo has brought them from Tingwei's mansion, specially dedicated to the banished immortal."
Li Shui said sternly: "What kind of person am I? I am polite, honest, upright and upright. How can I be greedy for beauty?"
Zhao Tuo nodded quickly, thinking: Why does this sound familiar? It seems to be Chun Yuyue's tone. No wonder he was banished to immortality, Chunyu Yue was his sister-in-law...
Li Shui looked at the two beauties and asked calmly: "What talents do you have?"
Two beautiful voices: "We can sing and dance well."
Li Shui frowned: "What about the others?"
Li Shui is really not interested in singing and dancing. What movements are not included in the computer hard drive? I've long been tired of seeing it.
The songs and dances of the Qin Dynasty have a slow rhythm and a lot of clothes. Is that just looking at people? Is that just to see the silk fluttering around?
The two beauties were a little confused and thought to themselves: Isn't it the most important thing to be a beauty and be able to sing and dance? Aren't everything else just minutiae?
The two people thought for a while, but couldn't think of any other skills, so they immediately lowered their heads in shame.
Li Shui sighed: "It's just two people eating hard food again."
Li Xin smiled dryly and said: "Brother Huai, why don't you just accept it? So as not to be lonely late at night?"
Li Shui said quietly: "Brother Li doesn't know something. I am a noble person and I don't want to ruin my reputation before my wedding."
Li Xin was puzzled: "Does your reputation need to be ruined?"
Li Shui: "..."
Li Xin asked again in a gossipy tone: "Do you have someone in mind? Which girl do you have your eye on?"
Li Shui said with a smile: "As long as I am not someone, all the women are possible. Once I come out, there will be only one person left."
Li Xin was confused: "Brother Huai's words are quite mysterious."
Li Shui looked at the two beauties, thought hard for a while, and asked, "Can you play musical instruments?"
The beauty shook her head.
Li Shui asked again: "Can you weave?"
The beauty still shook her head.
Li Shui asked again: "Where are you serving tea and water?"
The beauty still shook her head.
Li Shui collapsed: "It's been a long time, these are two people who have nothing to do."
He sighed and said to the outside: "Gou Sheng, call your Aunt Zhao. Here are two poor people. Ask her to arrange for the two girls and help them learn a skill."
The two beauties were very aggrieved: We are all good at singing and dancing. Isn’t this considered a skill?
