Chapter 2064 Famous Movement
Selling books can also increase your luck. Song Yan, who originally wanted to cause trouble just because he was too leisurely, became a little more serious.
As six hundred copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were sold, the book's fame gradually spread in the capital, and storytellers began to tell "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in teahouses and taverns.
So, on the tenth day.
One thousand copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were sold out.
Anyway, the system can create books very quickly. He directly took out two thousand books from the system and placed them in various bookstores.
Three days followed.
Sales skyrocketed, with 1,200 copies sold in three days.
But on the fourth day, sales plummeted, which surprised Song Yan. He ordered the clerk in the bookstore to inquire about it, only to find out that there were pirated books on the market.
Genuine books cost five cents each, while pirated books only cost one cent. Although the books looked cruder, they had the same content.
"His uncle's!"
Song Yan was very depressed about this. After selling more than 2,000 books, his luck increased by more than 300 points. Now, someone wants to stop him from earning luck. Can he tolerate it?
Therefore, he investigated the workshop that produced pirated books that day.
He knocked all the workers unconscious, smashed all the equipment in the workshop, and burned the pirated books in the yard.
The next day.
When the owner of the pirated workshop learned the news, he was so angry that he cursed. All the printing equipment was smashed, which cost him at least dozens of taels of silver. The pirated books that were burned were also worth money.
Unfortunately, even if he wanted to rebuild the workshop, it would take at least five or six days.
then.
After there were no more pirated books, sales of The Legend of the Condor Heroes returned to more than 300 copies.
Then Song Yan produced another two thousand copies.
With the popularity of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the layman Qinglian who wrote the book also became famous. Yes, layman Qinglian was Song Yan’s pen name.
Before you know it, January has passed by.
By the end of January, the sales volume of Legend of the Condor Heroes had exceeded 10,000. As for the piracy workshop that refused to give up, and was smashed by Song Yan again, it simply stopped working.
When this pirated workshop stopped and other pirated workshops sprang up, Song Yan adopted the simplest and crudest methods, smashing his tools and burning his pirated books.
Therefore, after many battles, the pirates also gave up their ideas.
A few days later.
Actually, booksellers from out of town came to the bookstore wanting to purchase some goods.
After receiving the reward, Song Yan directly sold three hundred copies for three coins of silver. In the following days, booksellers came one after another, and he sold them at this price.
"Brother Song, when will you publish a new novel?"
That day, as soon as Song Yan returned to the dormitory, he was blocked by Yan Gui. As The Legend of the Condor Heroes was selling well, Song Yan gave him another twenty taels of silver, but it greatly stimulated Yan Gui's enthusiasm.
"I was just trying to talk to Brother Yan about this!" As he spoke, he pushed a new book to Yan Gui: "This is a new book. Brother Yan will read it first. After reading it, he will make illustrations. But don't work so hard. With ten The day is in danger, the total reward this time is fifty taels of silver!"
"Brother Song, don't worry, I will definitely make the illustration within ten days!"
"Brother Yan, I believe you!"
Song Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, the book he gave Yan Gui was called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
It took Yan Gyu two days to read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he was amazed again. Then, after taking a short rest, he started to make illustrations.
On the eighth day, Yan Gui called over a hundred illustrations to Song Yan. Song Yan was quite satisfied with them after reading them, and then directly gave them fifty taels, which almost made him so happy that he couldn't find the north and south.
The second day.
There is an extra copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the bookshelf of Fifteen Houses.
With the recommendation of the store clerks, the book quickly became a bestseller, selling 800 copies in just three days.
Subsequently, sales became even more popular.
One month later.
The total sales of The Legend of the Condor Heroes reached 30,000 copies, including those bought by foreign booksellers. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was second to none, selling nearly 40,000 copies. Mainly because foreign booksellers tasted the sweetness and actually bought it directly from Song Yan. I took away 20,000 copies of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The main reason is that there are no pirated copies in the capital, but there are in other places. Therefore, they brought back a batch of Romance of the Three Kingdoms just to seize the market and beat the time gap.
The two books have reached more than 60,000 copies, earning Song Yan not only tens of thousands of taels of silver, but also more than 10,000 taels of luck, which made him decide to make his book selling business bigger and stronger.
However, he did not write the third book, because in a few days, there will be the Jinshi examination, and his teacher Cai Zixiao was also transferred back to the capital to take up a post, and specially sent someone to deliver a letter to him, asking him to go to his house to personally Tutor him for a few days.
A few days flew by.
Song Yan arrived at the examination room with ease and was searched before entering.
The afternoon of the second day.
Song Yan walked out of the examination room and was taken to the Cai Mansion. Cai Zixiao first asked about his examination status, and then let him go after dinner. At the same time, he also met Cai Zixiao's family.
Cai Zixiao has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son was a second-class Jinshi six years ago and is now serving in the Ministry of Personnel.
The second son is still a scholar.
The younger daughter was seventeen years old and should have been married a long time ago. Unfortunately, her future husband died before she could get married to her husband's family.
Therefore, even though she was still unmarried until she was seventeen, her fiancé was required to observe mourning for three years, which should expire at the end of this year.
Returning to the dormitory of Taiyuan University, Song Yan smelled the smell of alcohol in the room as soon as he entered, but found that Yan Gui was drunk and there were tears on his face. It seemed that he had probably failed the exam.
Song Yan put him on the bed, took out an anthology and read through it.
This anthology was written by his teacher Cai Zixiao himself and was a gift to him.
After reading through it, Song Yan nodded secretly. This Cai Zixiao was worthy of being a Wenzong, and his collection of essays can be said to be precious.
It will take three days for the Jinshi rankings to be released.
Therefore, Song Yan plans to publish another book.
This time, he plans to write a female channel.
Early next morning.
Song Yan saw the sober Yan Gui packing his luggage.
"Brother Yan, what are you doing?"
Song Yan asked.
"Hey, I failed the exam again this time. I still have a wife and children at home, so I can't keep them waiting any longer!" Yan Gui sighed, looking indescribably sad.
Song Yan consoled him: "Brother Yan, don't be discouraged. Even if you don't pass the exam this time, you can still seek an official position when you return to your hometown as a candidate!"
"That's right!"
Yan Gui nodded.
Later, Song Yan personally sent him out of the capital.
When he returned to Taiyuan University, he redeemed the new book and drew the illustrations himself.
The name of the new book is Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair. He has not read the original book, but has watched the TV series.
He painted extremely fast.
It only took half an hour to draw hundreds of illustrations, then let the system scan and color them, and finally bound them into a book.
The next day, a new book called Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan was added to the bookshelf of Fifteen Houses.
