Forty-five yuan of money is very considerable, and if it is a civilian family, it is enough for a family of five to spend at least two years in an ordinary and unreggled standard of living. The manuscript fee of 1,000 words is not high, of course, there will not be too many people who are lucky enough to get this level of manuscript fee. Band A is the highest level of manuscript fee and will only be given to authors of the highest level.

Li Yifu's article, although the literary talent is indeed rare and good, but he is still young after all, his pen power is not enough, and he is not close to the requirements of the first class. The reason why Li Yifu was given a first-class manuscript fee was because he was the first person to submit his manuscript in front of so many readers in front of the public. This gave Xia Hongsheng an opportunity, a way for these readers to see the great benefits of getting paid for submitting manuscripts. At the same time, he also took the opportunity to use the allusion of Zigong to redeem people, to dispel the burden of these scholars who were unwilling to exchange articles for money for the sake of face, and gave them an excuse to exchange their articles for assets in a dignified manner.

As for whether Li Yifu's article is worth the price, Xia Hongsheng doesn't care. These forty-five pieces of money are propaganda and gimmicks, and Li Yifu's article, Xia Hongsheng has no intention of using it at all. If nothing else, he is infamous in history. As for whether to give him a chance because he is still young - Xia Hongsheng felt that he did not owe him.

Forty-five yuan of money has not been spent in vain, at least, so many readers in today's bookstore, their concepts have been changed. I believe that they will be willing to submit their manuscripts, so as to exchange for remuneration to buy their favorite books to read. You don't need to read it like this anymore.

"Childe. There is a small sentence that I don't know if to say...... "After Xia Hongsheng goes back to the room behind the counter." The shopkeeper came in and said hesitantly: "That Li Yifu doesn't look like he's here to contribute...... When the little one was walking outside, he saw him several times. He wasn't reading the book, and he didn't say he wanted to contribute, he just went back and forth, and waited until you came out before he came up to you and said that he would contribute. It's like I'm waiting for you to show up. The little one thinks that he knows your identity, so he deliberately showed you his own article. I have seen too many scholars who have changed their ways of investing in the bank, and they have exhausted their hearts and minds in order to be recommended. ”

"Since he can know that I am the owner of the bookstore, what is so strange about knowing my official position." Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "You're right, if you want to submit, you can go directly to the bookstore manager - you are." Wait until I show up. It's safer to hand over the article directly to me than to you - that way. He submitted his own articles directly to me, and because in the name of submitting them, and in front of many scholars, I could not help but read them. If I don't read it, who will submit it in the future, I can only read it, and his goal will be achieved. ”

"Childe, do you see that?!" The shopkeeper was stunned.

Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Naturally, it is obvious. As soon as he recognized me, he knew that I was more than just the owner of the bookstore. Second, as you said, since it is a contribution, you can vote directly, leave your name and address, and if you are selected, you will be notified. But he's going to be outside until I show up, so that's obvious. ”

"Hmph, the little one looks like this son is not very old, but there are a lot of eyes in this heart!" The shopkeeper was indignant: "If it weren't for the fact that other readers would see the report of our bookstore's receipt, they should have asked someone to blast him out of the door!" If you want to submit the paper, you should respectfully come to the door to ask for a meeting, and you are not a good reader! ”

"Hehe, at such an age, I can think of such a way, taking advantage of the bookstore's need for submissions, and also taking advantage of the fact that the bookstore doesn't want to leave the impression of disrespecting the contributors in front of so many poor scholars, so I have to look at his submissions, although it is still not thorough, but it is also a rare scheming." Xia Hongsheng said: "Moreover, I deliberately asked you to give a first-class remuneration, after taking out forty-five yuan of money, I have already seen the greed in his eyes, but I can still restrain it, and refuse sternly in front of a group of poor scholars, according to his age, it is really rare." Presumably, he must have considered whether to accept the forty-five pieces of money, and finally decided not to accept it. He thought that rejecting this money could give him a good name, and this good name would spread with these poor scholars around him, and he thought that I would think highly of him because of this, and felt that he was ambitious and quite stylish, plus his literary talent was really good, so he would remember him and recommend him. ”

"At a young age, he is cunning! is still a powerful childe, and he can see through his heart in the blink of an eye. The shopkeeper bowed and saluted.

Although Xia Hongsheng didn't plan to really publish Li Yifu's article, but even so, I'm afraid that some of these poor scholars in the book house would remember his name, be deceived by his appearance, and befriend him.

Xia Hongsheng's publicity in the morning took the opportunity to publicize, and the results brought by it were remarkable.

In the afternoon of the same day, a dozen or so people brought their manuscripts to the bookstore to submit them.

Most of the people who can come to submit are also confident in their own writing, and after Xia Hongsheng read it carefully, as long as it is not too reluctant, he will be paid according to the first class. And Xia Hongsheng didn't plan to publish all of these articles, but only selected the best one or two to publish. First, now that we have just started to receive manuscripts, the standards will definitely be lower, and there will be more people submitting in the future, and then the standards will be raised. Second, there are a few more first-class remunerations, and it also disperses the attention of those poor scholars to Li Yifu, this person who is so cunning now, if he is not suppressed, he will have problems sooner or later in the future.

Either way, it's a good sign. The more people submit, the more likely you will find excellent articles and outstanding talents. As for money, Xia Hongsheng is not too interested in the profitability of the bookstore, but more as a way to discover talents. Of course, it's not that you have given up making profits, it's just that you have to take it step by step, and if the steps are too big, it's easy to talk nonsense.

In the private room on the second floor of his bookstore, Xia Hongsheng completed the contents of the newspaper that needed to be sent to the printing house today, and sent someone to send it to the printing house.

After the content of the newspaper is ready, it is about to close.

Before leaving, Xia Hongsheng explained to the shopkeeper: "Those stories have almost been printed now, starting tomorrow, let our storytellers go outside and start telling these stories!" (To be continued.) )
