On the second day, Tang Sufan was sitting in the sexy AE86, under the gaze of countless passers-by.
All the way along Zhuque Street, I earned a lot of surprise points, and then turned to a market at a certain section of the road.
There is the main store of Datang Bookstore.
Tang Sufan hummed a little tune and looked at the scene of Chang'an City. Finally, he stopped and found that he had arrived.
A store with four large doors, with four big characters written on a black bronze plaque, Chang'an Bookstore.
As soon as Tang Sufan got out of the car, someone came to greet him.
"Hey, guest officer, please come in~"
An unfamiliar boy thought that a big customer was coming, so he quickly came to pick up the customer with a smile on his face.
Tang Sufan got out of the car, took a look, and then waved his hand and said, "I'm not here to buy books. Is your shopkeeper here~"
The boy looked at it suspiciously and quickly called the shopkeeper.
Tang Sufan simply walked in and took a look. There were not many books inside, but several were packed together in boxes.
The main staff were all young men who were running in and out, and all they had in hand were newspapers.
Newspapers in Chang'an City are distributed from Chang'an Bookstore and have access to thirteen bookstores in Chang'an City. thus spreading to the whole city.
Selling books is now just a sideline business of Chang'an Bookstore.
Tang Sufan took a look and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that everything had taken shape on a huge scale.
Then I picked a few books and glanced at them. Looking at the piles of complicated words on them, my back teeth felt cold.
It seems that the primary school teacher was right, I am not suitable for studying...
Then, Ma Zhou came out.
When he saw Tang Sufan, he quickly came over in three steps at a time.
"Little man Ma Zhou, meet Mr. Tang~"
Tang Sufan smiled and said: "Haha, Prince Bin, I already told you not to call Mr. Tang, just call me Su Fan~"
Ma Zhou's face was straight and he said quickly: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Mr. Tang has been kind to King Bin, how can he be so disrespectful?"
Before, Tang Sufan thought of Ma Zhou. How could he not use such a good talent?
So they sent people out to inquire, but they didn't expect that the future Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to volunteering to help in his own coal mill from time to time, was actually feeding horses in the mansion of a minister.
There is no ambition to serve the country, but no name to serve the country.
So Tang Sufan had a thought and asked someone to come over to Ma Zhou.
He hired the future Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty with a high salary, and his cheap father-in-law also arranged a low-level sinecure for him to manage the Chang'an Bookstore.
And Ma Zhou was naturally very grateful to Tang Sufan. At least he no longer had to think about whether he had enough money in his wallet while drinking.
Moreover, he also found an official position for himself. In addition, Ma Zhou had already lived directly in Chang'an Bookstore for such a major literary event as newspapers.
For fear of failing to do something well, I have been doing my best to contribute to Chang'an Bookstore.
Tang Sufan asked casually: "Haha, it's up to you. By the way, how is the bookstore's business lately?"
"Mr. Tang, the number of newspapers published every day is increasing day by day. There are more than 18,400 newspapers published every day. I am afraid that the number will soon exceed 20,000~"
Tang Sufan squinted his eyes a little, although the number seemed to be a lot.
But how many people are there in the entire Chang'an City?
His expectation was that 30,000 tickets would be considered normal.
"By the way, have you had any problems at the bookstore recently~"
Ma Zhou then suddenly looked strange.
"Um... Mr. Tang, recently many people... are asking... in the bookstore or at our booth... if we can excerpt more of "Journey to the West" in the newspaper every day! And..."
"And what?"
"Furthermore, people at the West Market branch have been making trouble in the store every two days, and most of them are rich and powerful people... just because... I hope that the bookstore can write more articles about "Journey to the West" every day. …”
Tang Sufan's face twitched, why are the reminders so violent now?
"Then how did you deal with it?"
"I asked all the shops under the bookstore to respond. One chapter of "Journey to the West" is given every day. There are too many and the workshop cannot print them..."
"Huh, that's good..."
Tang Sufan then said: "Well, King Bin, I will ask my people to copy Journey to the West into a book later and hand it over to the workshop together. In the future, "Journey to the West" can be sold after finding someone to polish it... "
Ma Zhou hesitated for a moment, wanting to ask something, but then he waved the boy away, then turned to Tang Sufan and said, "By the way, Mr. Tang, Kong Jijiu and several adults have arrived~"
No one in the entire bookstore, except Ma Zhou, knew that the leader behind the entire Chang'an Bookstore, except the imperial court, was Tang Sufan.
So no one here knows Tang Sufan.
"Hey, it's so fast, okay, take me to find them~"
Ma Zhou led the way, and Tang Sufan followed, heading directly to the back hall.
Yesterday, someone from the Kong family sent a greeting card. Kong Yingda was also smart and told everyone by name that he wanted to see Tang Sufan.
This made Ma Zhou confused for a while, and he immediately sent someone to notify Tang Sufan, and then agreed to meet him at Chang'an Bookstore today.
Back hall.
Several old men were drinking tea soup that made Tang Sufan feel refreshed just by looking at it.
As soon as Tang Sufan entered the back hall of the bookstore, Kong Yingda stood up directly, even though he was already a little old.
But he still laughed out loud and forcefully: "Hahahahahaha, indeed, it's your kid~"
Tang Sufan smiled and quickly raised his hands in salute: "Mr. Kong, long time no see, your body is really strong~"
After a few words of negotiation, Kong Yingda took Tang Sufan and introduced him.
"Let me introduce to you, these are Mr. Yu Shinan, Mr. Sun Yuan, Mr. Fang Li Fang, Mr. Ouyang Yu and Mr. Ouyang~"
"Boy Tang Sufan, I have met all the old men~ I had to keep you waiting for a long time because of my busy schedule. I would like to apologize~"
Tang Sufan bowed his hands in salute, modestly and modestly.
In fact, I had difficulty getting up in the morning and got up late~
But I naturally saw some signs in my heart.
These old men looked like they were in the officialdom, but they were introduced as elders. It seemed that Old Man Kong also noticed his concerns.
Tang Sufan was very handsome, and coupled with his gentleness and courtesy, he was highly praised by several old men.
Even the initial discomfort of the elders waiting for a junior disappeared.
"Haha, blah, blah, blah, I've long heard that there is a little poetry fairy in Chang'an City. Even I and the others have read your poems and essays. You are an extraordinary literary talent but also humble. Hahaha, not bad, not bad~"
Yu Shinan twirled his beard and said slowly.
Ouyang Yu: "Lao Kong, this is the young man you are talking about, haha, it is really extraordinary~"
The young and old people did some superficial work and sat down directly.
"If Mr. Kong wants to see me, just ask someone to call me in Jinghe Village. Why bother? Isn't this a torment for you?"
"Haha, you kid, you are trying to make me look careless. Do you still know why I am here today?"
Kong Yingda twirled his beard, looking at Tang Sufan who knew what he was asking but insisted on pretending to be confused, and nodded at him with a smile.
The words were almost explained, and Tang Sufan was too embarrassed to pretend to be confused anymore: "Haha, what about Mr. Kong?"
"I had guessed before that there must be a talented person behind Chang'an Bookstore. Later, Lingyue reminded me, haha, sure enough, I didn't expect that it was really you~"
"Harm, Mr. Kong is joking, it's just a small business~"
