12days ago traverse Novels 7
The shopkeeper Peng set the price of a volume of "The West Chamber" at 500 texts. This price is a bit expensive than other novels on the market, but it is not much more expensive.

It has been more than a hundred years since the printing of movable type, and papermaking has also made great progress, which has led to the development of Chen's book printing industry, but it is only compared to a hundred years ago. In general, the cost of printing books is still not low, and books are still not affordable to ordinary people.

Five hundred essays are a huge sum of money for the poor people, but most of them are not poor people. In this capital, there are a lot of people who are willing to spend five hundred essays to buy a volume of novels to read.

Manager Peng looked at him and said: The price of 500 citations can only last for about five days. All the bookshops on this street have focused on our "West Chamber". After five days, they can print it themselves. By then, our price will be reduced...

There is no copyright awareness in this world. If you want to make money by printing books, you have to seize the opportunity. Once you wait until the pirated version is released, there will be not much money you can earn.

Here, most people who make a living by writing books are lost scholars who have made a living

So Tang Ning didn't think about printing the "West Chamber" at once. When other bookshops printed the first and second volumes of "West Chamber" were printed, the third volume of Songzhuzhai had been printed. After others got the third volume, they had to type, print, and sell it. They had to wait for another five days. Five days later, the fourth volume of Songzhuzhai was just freshly released.

As long as Songzhuzhai can keep the speed ahead of one volume, it can seize most of the market in the capital. By the time others print it, it is already a plot that most people have watched.

Although there are still some losses and regrets, they have to leave some soup for others to drink when eating meat, otherwise, those jealous guys don’t know what kind of incident will happen.

The young master is really foresighted

A lot of money has been paid in the past two days, and the fat on Manager Peng’s face was trembling and he smiled: I will ask someone to erect a sign at the door to write the sales time of the third volume, and then let someone hurry up and print it...

Manager Peng's attitude towards him had already taken a big turn of 180 degrees. Tang Ning handed him the manuscript of the third volume, and he immediately took it and arranged it.

He soon walked back and said: Should we settle the profits for the past two days first?

Tang Ning shook his head and said: Let's settle the bill in the future

Manager Peng nodded and said: Then as the young master said, it will be settled every five days.

Tang Ning walked out of Songzhuzhai and looked back at the long queue at the entrance of the bookstore. He was still satisfied.

It is indeed much more convenient to leave such a thing to someone to do. The second day of the sale of "The West Chamber" was launched, there was such a grand occasion. I think that Manager Peng also did a lot of publicity.

Tang Yaoyao stood beside him, holding a copy of "The West Chamber" with an illustration with a Songzhufang printed on it, looked at Tang Ning again, and said: Miss Li Qing, I see how you explain to Xiaoyi at that time

If you don’t say it, I won’t say it, how could Xiaoyi know? Tang Ning glanced at her and said: Maybe she has forgotten Li Qing.

Although she had a letter exchange with Xiaoyi as Li Qing, she had no contact since then. Maybe she had long forgotten Tang Yaojing's distant cousin, maybe she might have forgotten her distant cousin.

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and said: In the morning, Uncle Xu received a letter from Lingzhou, which was sent by my father. In the letter, he said that Uncle Zhong and Xiaoyi had already set off for Beijing.

Although it will be slower to go to Beijing with your family, in terms of time, they will arrive at Beijing in mid-February at the latest

By that time, he would no longer be able to live in Hongxiu Pavilion

He also has to seize the time to make money. Judging from the current situation, when the "West Chamber" is all published, he will probably save enough money to buy a big house in the capital.

In addition, Tang Ning thought of something

When he moved out of Hongxiu Pavilion, if the room was occupied, Su Huli would have no place to sleep. The room in Hongxiu Pavilion was redundant anyway. Why would you let Manager Xu empty the room and give her a place to rest.

Su Fox and Su Fox arrived. Tang Ning returned to the room and saw her sitting at the table. Tang Fei was still not coming up. Tang Ning closed the door. Su Mèi looked at him and smiled and said: Are you afraid of that little fairy...

Tang Ning did not continue the topic, walked forward and asked: Why didn’t you sleep today?

Can't sleep Su Mèi looked at the bed in the corner and said nostalgic: I'm leaving Beijing soon, come and talk to you

Li Jing? Tang Ning looked at her in surprise and asked: Where are you going and will you come back?

Su mèi smiled at him, his voice suddenly softened, and he asked: Why, can't you bear to leave him?

Tang Ning glanced at her and asked: Who is he?

What a guy who is confused about the charm... Su mèi looked at him and said: Don't worry, I just went out of Beijing to do some things, from at least one month to several months. I hope that when I come back, I can call you the top scholar...

Tang Ning has not many friends in the capital, and only Su Mèi can play cards with him. She suddenly left Beijing for so long. He was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he looked at her and said: You are a girl, please be careful outside.

That being said, Su Huli can't be treated as a woman at all. Instead, he should be more careful when he meets his men. If he is not careful, he will fall under her pomegranate skirt and cannot tell the difference between the east, south, west and north.

Girl? Su Mèi couldn't help laughing: My sister is no longer a girl...

Tang Ning still remembers that she fell asleep and hugged her arm, and when she woke up, she wanted to kill herself----------It was obviously an uninformed little girl, she still had to pretend to have experienced the world. Because she could not beat her, Tang Ning was too lazy to expose him.

Su mèi looked at him and said: You have to take the exam well. I don’t know if the bed of the top scholar will be different when you fall asleep...

Tang Yaoyao knocked on the door outside and asked: Who are you talking to?

Su mèi waved at him last, and his figure disappeared by the window

Tang Ning opened the door, Tang Yaoyao looked inside and asked: I seemed to hear the voice of a woman inside just now.

You heard it wrong... Tang Ning shook his head, looked at her, and said: You are too idle and have a hallucination. If you are fine, I will teach you how to play mahjong. If you are bored in the future, you can kill time...

……

Ten days later, the book "West Chamber" has been published in five volumes, and the plot is getting better, gradually setting off a wave of "West Chamber" in the capital.

The story of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying touched the hearts of countless people. Many young men and women in Beijing regarded it as a classic. Several volumes of "The West Chamber" have also become the book under the pillow of countless women in the boudoir.

Which girl has never imagined that she could have a good husband? Maybe she was a handsome boy riding a white horse to them, or maybe she was a talented man who recited poems across the wall. This was a dream they weaved for themselves. Although after waking up from the dream, she still had to accept the orders of her parents and the words of her matchmaker, and spend the rest of her life with a person who didn't know her appearance and character.

Now, this talented man named Li Qing wrote their dreams on paper. They read Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying, but they thought of themselves.

For a time, no matter whether it was a noble girl from a noble family or an ordinary family, whenever she got together, she would discuss the West Chamber...

There are praises and criticisms. Many people also believe that women should read books such as "Female Rings" and "Female Training". The book "West Chamber" describes a scholar climbing the wall to meet a lady in private. The lady secretly ran to the scholar's room to spend the night. It is a bad deed of customs and neglecting etiquette and law. The remarks that regard "West Chamber" as a cancer are also increasing.

However, whether it is praise or criticism, the sales volume of the book "West Chamber" has become even more popular

Tang Ning was in Hongxiu Pavilion and could not hear the sound outside. When everyone was mixed with praise of "The West Chamber", he calculated the account book in the room. After finishing the calculation, he sat on the bed to count the money.

Putting down the account book, he pushed a bunch of silver notes aside and murmured: No, I missed two taels of silver...
