Kong Fang smiled and said nothing.
Hunger marketing was the most evil marketing method in the previous life. Although he only had a superficial understanding of it, it did not prevent him from conquering the city in Daxing Dynasty.
"Journey to the West" is one of the four famous masterpieces in the world. It has influenced generations of people.
The Daxing Dynasty lacked culture and there were not many books to read. There was even a void of books with interesting and meaningful stories. "Journey to the West" just filled this gap.
It will fire.
He expected this.
The only thing he didn't expect was that it could be taken apart and turned into a book, with ten chapters in one volume, and each volume could be sold for one tael of silver. The complete "Journey to the West" contains one hundred chapters in total and can be divided into ten volumes.
Ten volumes are ten taels of silver!
A book costs ten taels of silver! With such a good deal, he must seize the opportunity, manage it well, and make a lot of money from it.
His plan was to publish a first batch of two thousand copies.
As for "Journey to the West", he did not want "Luoyang paper to be expensive" because of it. Having lived in two generations, he had long looked down on false fame. He wanted real money.
Of course, two thousand copies of "Journey to the West" were sold so quickly. Kong Fang does not think it is just because of the charm of the book. Mr. Luo's celebrity effect may be a greater contribution.
This is the inspiration I got from Skylark.
Yunque was just a mediocre teaching, and he even made up a vulgar "Hush Poem" that was praised by everyone, and even gained five hundred taels of silver.
And the book "Auspicious Auspiciousness", which is full of nonsense, sold 298 copies!
Is it really his brilliant writing that impressed the readers?
fart!
Mr. Luo was a great scholar in the dynasty, his worth could throw a skylark out of the sky, and the words he wrote were worth a thousand pieces of gold, so he begged Mr. Luo to write a preface to "Journey to the West".
As for the printing of books, all matters related to publishing the books are entrusted to Mr. Luo.
All of this is Kong Fang borrowing the celebrity effect of Mr. Luo to promote great Confucianism in the dynasty.
As expected, "Journey to the West" became an instant hit, with two thousand copies sold out within three days.
But when "Journey to the West" became popular, hunger marketing really started.
According to the plan, the bookstore will print another 3,000 volumes...
As for how many copies need to be printed in the end, it depends on the actual market demand. After whetting readers' appetite, he will release the second volume...
By analogy, he believed that after writing "Journey to the West", although he would not become the richest man in the Daxing Dynasty, he would definitely be the first literati in the Daxing Dynasty to get rich by writing a book.
Didn’t Fang Shiqing look down on scholars?
I will let you see what I am capable of. I can make a fortune just by using the pen in my hand. Success and fame will bring me all the benefits!
Mr. Luo saw that he could not persuade Kong Fang to give up.
He was a great scholar of the time, but he was not pedantic, otherwise he would not accompany Kong Fang to publish books and make money. He did not put on the airs of a great Confucian scholar in front of Confucius, but followed the good deeds and continued to implement the planned book publishing plan.
Before leaving, he told Kong Fang that he would deliver the crystal soon and asked him to make crystal glasses as soon as possible. Kong Fang naturally agreed.
After sending Mr. Luo away, he hurriedly went to Fang Shiyi and asked him to return to the Fang family compound quickly and invite the craftsman Master Geng, preferably with one or two apprentices.
He did not dare to delay the order for three hundred taels of gold.
Unexpectedly, after being surprised, Fang Shiyi suggested that Kong Fangmo should not add more people. Master Geng could do it alone, and the construction period should be slightly longer.
Kong Fang was puzzled.
Fang Shiyi explained that if glasses with one hundred taels of gold were easily made in a short time, the buyer would definitely be suspicious. After all, such a simple craft is not worth one hundred gold.
To give buyers value for money, we of course...
Kong Fang suddenly realized.
Then he let out a long sigh, because he found that he still had a long way to go if he wanted to become a qualified "profiteer"!
He simply pushed the matter to Fang Shiyi and let her handle it entirely.
"Brother-in-law, my sister asked me to tell you that she and Li Lianying, the young master of the River Gang, are just ordinary friends and have nothing to do with each other." Fang Shiyi suddenly said.
"...?"
Kong Fang was confused.
Aren't we talking about glasses? Why are we talking about Fang Shiqing again?
Fang Shiyi stuck out the tip of his tongue and said with a chuckle: "Look at me being so clueless that I confused you, brother-in-law."
"Remember the last time the River Gang caused trouble?"
Not only did Kong Fang remember it, he was still worried about it!
Who the hell dares to treat this official as a cadre? !
"That group is from the Qinghe County Branch of the He Gang, and is controlled by the Baoding Branch of the He Gang. My sister once saved the life of Li Lianying, the young master of the Baoding Helm, and the jade pendant was given to her by him."
"I think the people from the Qinghe Branch recognized the jade pendant, so they didn't dare to do it again."
"Um...what did your sister tell me to do?" Kong Fang asked stupidly.
Fang Shiyi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Of course I'm afraid you'll misunderstand her!"
Will she be worried that I will misunderstand her?
Do you believe that the tiger is afraid that the rabbit will misunderstand that he is cheating?
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I've already brought it to you." Fang Shiyi spread her hands cutely.
"My sister has been studying "The Essentials of the Art of War" written by you. In my memory, she has never read a book so seriously."
"Also, she is very meticulous in carrying out your training methods. Why don't you take the time to take a look."
Kong Fang licked his lips.
He felt that Fang Shiyi was not just sending a message to him.
Of course, given Fang Shiqing's previous bad attitude towards him, he did not dare to speculate on her true intentions.
Perhaps it was a white lie told by Fang Shiyi in order to improve her relationship with Fang Shiqing?
Fang Shiyi floated away like a butterfly, leaving Kong Fang lingering in front of the hall alone.
He was going to the barracks.
After all, the county soldiers are his soldiers. He has a responsibility and a need to know about their training. He summoned his second general Heng Ha. Guan Yu led the horse, and Fang Shibo guarded him, and the three of them walked towards the barracks.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going.
Almost all people in Qinghe County recognize Kong Fang. He is not only the father-in-law of the people of Qinghe, but also the hero who wiped out the evil bandit Zhu Chongjiu. Many people still have his longevity tablets in their homes!
They saw Kong Fang coming on horseback from a distance, and they all lined up to greet him.
Kong Fang is not vain, but he enjoys the love from the grassroots. He rode on horseback and interacted friendly with the people. Suddenly, his eyes twitched, and he saw a hand not far away reaching for the waist of a passerby.
Passers-by wear brocade clothes and scarves, with bulging waists. He was waving his hand and looking at Kong Fang, unaware that three hands were reaching out to him.
"Get him!"
Kong Fang pointed at the thief, and Fang Shibo immediately pounced on him like a cheetah, grabbing the extra points of muscle and bone to wait for him, and quickly subdued the thief.
Jinyi Road talent found out that he had been stolen, and he kicked him in excitement. People's emotions were already in a state of turmoil, but now it was as if a spark fell into the boiling oil, and everyone's emotions exploded.
