So soon, the booksellers played their signs.

Hearing that Qi Guogong's new book was released, the capital was once again a sensation.

It was early the next morning.

A group of scholars from Xishan Academy happily appeared at the doorways of major bookstores at the dawn of Tiangang.

Not only the students of Xishan Academy, but other scholars are also curious about it.

Of course, they are with a critical eye, just simply want to see.

Everything is like a storm.

But everything that involves Qi Guogong is always extremely fast, so the bookstore opened its doors to sell it.

It's a big thick book, and it only costs thirty-five yuan.

Thirty-five dollars to buy a book in this era is almost a fantasy.

And it is still so thick, it can be said that the price is affordable and the quantity is sufficient.

After all, this era is still in a semi-mechanical and manual state, and the labor required for printing workshops is astonishing. Not only that, but the cost of ink, paper, and proofreading is not small.

But when people pick up this heavy book, they suddenly understand why this book is so cheap.

Shen Ao reported leave with Fei Qiuying last night, and then waited outside the bookstore overnight, when the bookstore door opened, he was the first to rush into the bookstore.

He is the grandson of Duke Qi, and Fang Jifan's most staunch follower.

After taking the book, he felt that the book had a sense of cheapness.

This made him feel a bit muttered in his heart.

Who is my teacher? This is a unparalleled national scholar, a great talent in the world. His book is actually made of such inferior paper.

It's just that it's too late to think at this time, there is already a sea of ​​people behind him, so Shen Ao hugged the book and hurried out of the crowd, surrounded by many students, Shen Ao opened the book with excitement, followed by a The words that were completely unfamiliar to him were revealed in front of his eyes.

It's not that he doesn't recognize these words, but the combination of them makes him feel extremely strange.

This is

There are already many people who read books.

Many people's faces turned gloomy, and their first thought was that this must not be written by Qi Guogong, and there must be some misunderstanding.

Could it be that the bookseller wants to take this opportunity to make money in the name of Duke Qi?

But such an idea is too magical.

Who has the guts to sell books in the name of Duke Qi.

But more people, holding this book every day, began to read it hard.

They always feel that the intentions of their mentor or master must be hidden in this book.

Although the words here are extremely vulgar, and the paper and ink also bring discomfort, people still firmly believe that the books written by Qi Guogong must be full of deep meaning.

"What the hell is this!"

The first person to break the silence was Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao threw the book angrily: "I thought it was something great, but it turned out to be such a thing, and such a superficial knowledge needs him to repair it? Lao Fang took the wrong medicine. As for the psychiatry department, the mental The people from the department called and asked them to tie up Lao Fang and treat him."

Although he lost his temper, Zhu Houzhao picked up the book again, muttering to himself: "What kind of mystery is this guy trying to play, but no one will read such a book, right?"

Xiao Jing quickly entered Fengtian Hall.

Emperor Hongzhi was restless these two days, so Xiao Jing always accompanied him carefully.

He saluted cautiously, and then said: "Your Majesty"

"Huh?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned without raising his head, looking at the book named Ming Song in front of him.

The name of this book is Ming Song, so it has a somewhat festive meaning, Great Ming Song.

But the problem is, this guy Fang Jifan

"Hey" Emperor Hongzhi sighed depressedly and shook his head.

Then he raised his head, glanced at Xiao Jing, and said: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Jing quickly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the booksellers in Beijing have started to sell Duke Qi's books. I heard that Duke Qi has printed many volumes and sold them in bookstores everywhere."

Emperor Hongzhi blushed suddenly: "What about after that?"

"It was a hot seller for a while at first, and it is said that within a few hours, thousands of copies were sold."

Thousands of copies

This is definitely a very high sales volume.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to feel that thousands of people would mock him soon.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, his brows seemed to be knotted, and he said wonderingly: "These booksellers are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Don't they read their books first when they come out?"

"After all, this is written by the Duke of Qi, and the booksellers are very welcome." Xiao Jing carefully glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, forced a smile, and said, "However, Your Majesty also has good news that will be in a few hours. , the sales volume of this book began to plummet. Apparently, some people already knew the contents of it, so many people started to disperse. In other words, this book will sell at most a thousand copies, and no one will care about it anymore, Your Majesty Don't worry."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his face softened a lot. Although he had already felt that those who read the book would criticize quietly behind their backs, and some even made fun of them, but if the influence of this book is within the controllable range, It is a gratifying thing.

Emperor Hongzhi coughed: "Oh, I see, Jifan is too careless in compiling the book this time.

The amount is quite good, today’s blowout is a lesson for him, he is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is extremely smart, but sometimes he uses this smartness on his own.”

As Emperor Hongzhi said, the corner of his eye glanced at one of the Ming Songs about the postpartum care of sows. Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that his eyes were hot and he was about to go blind. These messy things are on top."

Xiao Jing repeatedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, what His Majesty said is very true."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed again: "From now on, we must not mention this book again."

Xiao Jing lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."

Chen Shisan went to the capital for the first time.

Although he went to Beijing just to see the excitement, but for ordinary people like him, going to Beijing was something that he could brag about for a lifetime.

Although he hired part-time workers for the merchants to drive the carts for them and sent a load of goods there, but after the deliveries were finished, he had to wander around the capital for a few hours to buy something for his mother-in-law.

He is from Luanzhou, Yongping Prefecture, North Zhili.

It is a remote place, although it belongs to Northern Zhili, but it is extremely difficult to go to Beijing.

He wandered all the way, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. Feeling the prosperity and wealth of this capital, he couldn't help feeling envious.

I couldn't help but sigh: If I was born here, how wonderful it would be.

at this time

A familiar voice sounded from the corner of the street.

It's a bookstore, and there are clerks shouting loudly in front of the bookstore.

Of course, for Chen Shisan, the matter of being a scholar has nothing to do with him.

You can hear the guy say: "Duke Qi has written a great eulogy, come and see, come and buy!"

Duke of Qi

Chen Shisan suddenly couldn't walk anymore.

Ah, it's the Duke of Qi.

Chen Shisan had heard of Duke Qi's name long ago in Luanzhou. A relative came back from the capital and talked about Duke Qi vividly. After that, the school captain of Tuntianwei was stationed in the prefecture, and some merchants even came in. Talking about Qi Guogong.

Of course, the words Qi Guogong, from Chen Shisan's heart, evoked memories, but it was the rent-free recruitment of tenant farmers from Xishan Bank to cultivate.

Not to mention rent-free recruitment of tenant farmers, and there are rules. The first class is those whose families have soldiers in the army, and the second class is those who have no land at home. back.

Chen Shisan belonged to the second category. He didn't believe in the idea of ​​"pie falling from the sky", but when he applied with the mentality of giving it a try, he was actually given a piece of land.

The land is not big, there are seven members of the Chen family, 20 acres, and the land is not fertile, but with this rent-free land, if the young and strong are free, they can find some errands and do part-time jobs. For Chen Shisan, who used to be a tenant, he was as happy as a fairy.

Now, during the slack season, he came to do part-time work. Hearing the familiar three words, Duke Qi, Chen Shisan suddenly felt his nose a little sore, and his eyes seemed to have sand in them. He rubbed them, and his eye sockets turned red.

Involuntarily, he moved and walked to the bookstore, looking curiously at the books at the front.

This bookshop is obviously no longer interested in it.

Perhaps it was because the bookstore had a backlog of Ming Songs, so that in order to quickly sell these books and reduce some losses, the merchants asked the guys to sell them along the street.

"How much?"

Chen Shisan was in awe of books.

He felt that since it was the Duke of Qi's book, if he brought it back, he would be able to avoid evil and be used as a door god.

It's just that he was a little shy, afraid that the price would be high.

"It was originally priced at thirty-five yuan, but now it is sold for twenty-five yuan."

call

Twenty-five Wen, for a person like Chen Shisan, he could grit his teeth and buy a book, at least it was much cheaper than he expected.

This seems to be the first time he is so proud: "Buy it!"

then

The mother-in-law didn't tear up the cloth anymore, she just bought some scraps of food for the children, wrapped them up, and holding a book, Chen Shisan returned.

Back in the village, Chen Shisan carefully put the precious book away.

When you buy a book, you always have to read it.

In fact, Chen Shisan could barely read some characters, which was not considered illiterate. After all, people needed money, and there were characters on money, and there were some very commonly used characters, which he probably had an impression of.

Although in the eyes of scholars, he is still an illiterate savage.

But when he opened the Ming Song, he actually took a deep breath, because a new door seemed to open before him.

Although many of these words are not familiar to them, some of them are actually recognizable.
