"You're sick!"
"You're not sick and set the price of that book at fifty taels? You must know that some ordinary solitary books sell for fifty taels. ”
Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "I don't really want to sell it for fifty taels of silver." ”
"If you don't want to sell fifty taels of silver, what do you do at a price of fifty taels?" Zhou Yu asked strangely.
"Gimmick! Do you understand? ”
"What...... Meaning? ”
"If you go to the Champion Book Company and see that a novel sells for fifty taels of silver, what is your first thought?"
"Of course, go and see what is written, and it will sell for fifty taels...... I understand! Zhou Yu patted his forehead and said: "If your price is set ordinary, only five days, I'm afraid no one will notice." But if you set a price of fifty taels, someone will definitely notice it, and someone will definitely look at it. ”
"Clever!" Luo Xin snapped his fingers.
Zhou Yu learned from Luo Xin and snapped his fingers, but he didn't do it, so he shook his hand and continued:
"However, you have only achieved the purpose of making people watch, but you may not be able to achieve the result of coaxing. That depends on how you write. ”
"It's going to be rumored!"
Luo Xin said confidently. Isn't this nonsense? In the era of information explosion and cultural prosperity in later generations, "The Legend of Shushan" was regarded as a classic, in this era of barren culture and entertainment, will "The Legend of Shushan" not be popular? Will it not be popular?
Zhou Yu shook his head, and the look on his face clearly said "I don't believe it", but he didn't say it, but asked:
"Brother Xin, shall we stay here, or shall we go back?"
"Stay overnight and go back tomorrow."
"If you want to say that we might as well stay here for five days, and take you around Jinyang Mansion for my brother."
Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I told my mother that I would only stay out for one night and not return for many days, and my mother would be worried." ”
"Then go back!" Zhou Yu was a little deflated.
Champion Bookstore.
The shopkeeper sat at the back of the counter. Let the guy make a pot of tea, and then take the "Legend of Shu Mountain" in his hand, and Luo Xin actually set the price at fifty taels, he was very curious about what kind of book this was.
He put the book on his lap, and then poured himself a cup of tea, shaking his head and muttering as he poured it:
"What can a little child write? I dare to ask for fifty taels, which is crazy for money. ”
took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup, picked up "The Legend of Shushan" from his lap and turned the first page.
"Brother Xin, what kind of book have you written? I see that the cover says "The Legend of Shu Mountain"? Zhou Yu asked as he walked to the inn with Luo Xin.
"Hmm. It is "The Legend of Shushan". ”
"Shushan? Is that the mountain? ”
"It's Emei."
"What are you talking about? Tell me about it. ”
"Okay, just tell the eldest brother!" Luo Xin whispered as he walked:
"It is said that Mount Emei, Sichuan, is a famous resort in Shu. In the past, people said that the mountains and rivers of Xishu were strange, and Emei was especially victorious, this sentence is really true. The theocracy of Xishu is the most victorious, the temples and temples on the mountain are not less than hundreds, the good men and women who face the mountain every year come from thousands of miles away, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. Layers of cockroaches, the weather is thousands, and there are really a lot of people who are designed to enjoy the scenery in the mountains. The scenery of the back mountain is particularly strange. From the deep mountains of Osawa. There are many dragons and snakes, deep forests and valleys, most of which are the habitats of tigers, leopards and jackals. People who travel to the back mountains often never return. Ordinary people speculate, some say that they were eaten by tigers and wolves, and some say that they were overtaken by immortals and Buddhas. There are many lawsuits, and there is no agreement. People are flesh and blood, and the weak-willed account for eight or nine tenths, because of the lessons of the past, the people who travel to the back mountain gradually stagnate, but also cheapen those who are in the back mountain to recuperate and quiet, save a lot of dust disturbances, and enjoy the blessings of the spiritual mountain resort. This goes without saying.
Since the war at the end of the Song Dynasty, Sichuan has ten rooms and nine emptiness, often hundreds of miles of road without people, making this country of abundance miserable, like a ghost city. After the Mongols entered the customs and established the Yuan Dynasty......"
Luo Xin changed the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Song Dynasty in the original text, and changed the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the Mongolian customs, and returned to the inn while talking......
Inside the Champion Bookstore.
The shopkeeper was already fascinated, but just after reading more than half of it, a scholar named Liang Tao walked in from outside the door.
As the saying goes, how good it is, it must be done at the bottom.
He, like most scholars, revered Taoism.
Moreover, Taoism has a long history in China, and it also occupies a dominant position when a hundred schools of thought contend, even it has a great influence on Confucius, and Confucianism draws on a lot of Taoist ideas. Wang Yangming, the founder of Xinxue, borrowed a lot of Taoist thought.
What's more, among the hundred sons, only Taoism, Legalism and Confucianism have become the academic of governing the country, and the other schools have not reached that height. Therefore, even the children of Confucianism have no resistance to Taoism, and now the saints respect Taoism, so there are a large number of scholars who like to find some Taoist treasures to read in addition to reading the Four Books and Five Classics.
When the guy saw Liang Tao coming in, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Liang Gongzi, what book are you here to buy today?" ”
"I'll take a look."
The man smiled and followed him, Liang Tao first went to the bookshelf with the Four Books and Five Classics and annotations to look through it, and when he saw that there were no new books, he turned to Daozang to look through it. Occasionally turning my head, I saw the bookshelf where the novel was placed, and there was an empty space on it, but the words "fifty taels" were written on the price tag.
Liang Tao curiously pointed to the empty spot and said to the guy, "What kind of book is there?" Already sold? ”
"That's ......" The guy glanced at the shopkeeper, and when he saw the shopkeeper looking fascinated, he didn't feel Liang Tao coming in at all, nor did he hear Liang Tao's conversation with him, so he whispered:
"That's a book called 'The Legend of Shu Mountain'."
"The Legend of Shushan? What is written? Liang Tao was very curious, what book could be sold for fifty taels of silver?
"I don't know." The guy shook his head.
"Sold?"
"Nope!" The man glanced at the shopkeeper again before saying, "Our shopkeeper is there." ”
At this time, Liang Tao noticed that there was no sound behind the counter, and he was also a frequent customer here, so he was not polite and walked directly into the counter. He was really curious about what kind of book would sell for fifty taels of silver. Generally speaking, the ordinary commentary on the Four Books and the Five Classics is only a few yuan, and the better ones are only a dozen yuan, but now they come out for fifty taels of silver......
The most important thing is that the shopkeeper is already fascinated, and that state makes Liang Tao itch to see it. He walked quickly behind the shopkeeper and stretched out his head to look over.
"The Biography of Shushan" is about 5,000 words at a time, and 50,000 words are written ten times, and the shopkeeper has seen the eighth chapter at this time.
