Life is like a pile of chicken feathers, but we still have to pick them up and make a feather duster.
Zhao Xun, who has lived in two generations, has long understood this. It is impossible to completely separate life and work, and it will also make himself very painful.
Pain is also a day, happiness is also a day, so why not keep smiling?
After all, boys who love to laugh will not have bad luck.
Zhao Xun, who received the thirty-day extension, was in a good mood and was able to put down his work for the time being and start working on the manuscript.
The popularity of Nie Xiaoqian's chapter in "Liao Zhai" was unexpected to Zhao Xun. Wangcai's bookstore made a lot of money, and Zhao Xun's dividends were also considerable.
It seems that the folks from the Zhou Dynasty really like to watch Legends of Legend.
"Liao Zhai" is the culmination and even the pinnacle of fantasy novels. When placed in the Zhou Dynasty, it was simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
Whether it is the choice of words or sentences or the development of the plot, the maturity of "Liao Zhai" is unmatched by other legends of legends in the Zhou Dynasty.
Zhao Xun just pulled out a special ultra-rare SSR card and dealt it out like crazy against a group of N-level ordinary cards.
The two are not on the same level at all. Not only will these beggar's version of fantasy novels not pose any threat to "Liao Zhai", they will also be cannibalized by "Liao Zhai" and the market will be exhausted.
What makes Zhao Xun even more ecstatic is that people in this era have no anti-monopoly awareness.
Although "Liao Zhai" is the dominant one, the government has no intention of imposing sanctions.
It seems that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as they don't commit suicide like Sixth Brother Lu Guangdou and write books that analyze and speculate on the fate of the court, they will not be easily harmonized.
Of course, Zhao Xun will not be too high-profile. Making a fortune in silence is the way to go.
In addition, Zhao Xun also published a "Collection of Poems by Zhao Mingyun" under Wangcai's strong suggestion.
The sales volume of this poetry collection is no worse than that of the "Liao Zhai" series. The key is that it also won Zhao Xun great reputation.
It is true that the Zhou Dynasty favored martial arts, but the literati still had considerable say.
If he gains a prestigious position in the literary world, it will be of great benefit to his future development.
It is true that Zhao Xun became famous at the Qujiang Poetry Fair, and was accepted by the mountain chief as a disciple of the academy, confirming his identity as a Wenqu star.
But in this era, publicity is also very important, and the fragrance of wine is also afraid of the alley. If you don't publicize, you will only know a small number of people.
But if it is heavily publicized, it won't be long before the entire city of Chang'an will know Zhao Xun's name, and Zhao Xun's reputation as a poet will forever be recorded in history.
From the moment Zhao Xun decided to join the academy and become a disciple of the mountain leader, it meant that he could no longer take the imperial examination route.
Therefore, he must maintain a good relationship with the civil service class.
The two parties may not be allies, but it is best not to be enemies.
Because the most insidious people are always scholars.
Warriors are at most true villains, but literati may be hypocrites.
As we all know, a hypocrite is much scarier than a real villain, because you never know when he will stab you.
Scholars don't use knives to kill people, they use pens. Sometimes they are really hard to guard against.
The key point is that these censors still enjoy the power to complain without evidence, and they are like a group of keyboard warriors.
Zhao Xun wants to tell these civil servants through his poetry that they are essentially a kind of people and there is no need to mess with me.
Only in this way can Zhao Xun work with peace of mind and enjoy life with peace of mind.
Of course, Zhao Xun is just a small crook in Fei Pao now. With a lower status, he can fish in troubled waters even if he doesn't express his position clearly.
But if his status continues to rise in the future and he becomes an important person in the Great Zhou Dynasty, then both the martial class and the civil servant class will probably force Zhao Xun to take a stand.
But that is the future, and there is no need for Zhao Xun to live in a state of anxiety because of the future.
As a person, the most important thing is to be happy.
Zhao Xun thought about this, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote quickly.
"He, a Taoist priest of Chaotian Temple, likes the art of breathing and breathing. There is a man who lives in the temple and likes it, so he becomes a friend of Xuan. After living there for several years, every time he went to the suburbs to offer sacrifices, he would leave for ten days first and then return later. . The Taoist priest asked him in doubt. Weng said: "We cannot go against each other. You can tell the truth: I am a fox." When the suburbs come, all the gods will be clean and filthy, and I will not be able to tolerate them, so I will go away. "
"Another year, I left on time and never came back. I was suspicious. One day, I came suddenly. I asked him why. He replied: 'I will never see my son again! I want to stay away from you, but my heart is quite lazy. The sewer was very hidden, so he lurked under the urn. Unexpectedly, the spirit official's excrement was removed here, and he saw it at a glance. He was angry and whipped. I was afraid and ran away. The spirit officer chased in a hurry. On the Yellow River, he was almost there. He was in great embarrassment. Without any plan, he scurries through the chaos."
"The gods were disgusted by their filth, so they began to return. Once they came out, they were polluted by the stench and could not travel to the world again. So they drowned themselves in water, and then hid in caves. For hundreds of days, the filth and turbidity began to purify. Now we are farewell, and both I would like to advise you: You should also lead him away. A great calamity is coming, and this is not a blessed place. Having said that, I will resign..."
In just one cup of tea, Zhao Xun finished writing the "Lingguan" chapter.
One of the great advantages of "Liao Zhai" is that it is a collection of stories. Each story is independent and has no influence on each other. Readers can pick up any article individually and read it without having to endure the pain of catching up.
Unlike Zhao Xun who read some online novels in his previous life, some authors not only update the novel at a slow pace, but also like to break chapters.
This chapter is a good one, because the seduced person can't stop, doesn't want to eat or drink, and can't even sleep well.
Well, Zhao Xun feels that he is still very well-organized and has a high position.
After finishing writing an article, Zhao Xun was about to stretch his legs, but unexpectedly, the little fat man Wangcai rushed over at a trot.
"Brother Mingyun, something bad is going on. Now there are many bookstores in Chang'an City that are pirated copies of "Liao Zhai". The most serious pirated copies are Nie Xiaoqian's chapters. These people don't deserve to be human beings. They don't want to lose face just to make money!"
The wealthy man's face turned red and his body was trembling.
Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment, stealing the seal?
How could he forget this?
Even in later generations, it is impossible to completely eliminate piracy. In the feudal era of the Zhou Dynasty, it was not easy to eliminate piracy.
Just like people in this era have no awareness of antitrust, they also have no awareness of copyright.
It is true that Zhao Xun wrote "Liao Zhai" first, but other bookstores can also pirate large quantities of copies and engage in price wars.
As long as they sell it cheaply, readers who are greedy for small profits are still likely to buy cheap pirated versions of "Liao Zhai".
"Brother Mingyun, do you have any good ideas?"
Turn on anti-theft? This is not an internet article. Zhao Xun shook his head helplessly.
"Perhaps we can add some exquisite illustrations to our Liaozhai manuscript to prevent counterfeiting, but the most important thing is the update speed. As long as we publish the manuscript quickly enough, pirates will never catch up. I have already written this "Lingguan" article Okay, Wangcai, hurry up and get it printed."
