Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 452
After almost a month of preparation, Datang Bookstore finally opened in West Market.

The West Market was already very lively, with a lot of people, and Datang Bookstore was the largest bookstore in Datang, so after the bookstore opened, there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

"Everyone, the price of the book is printed on the back of each book. You will never haggle over the price. If you like it, you can buy it. Whether it is typesetting or other things, it will definitely make you like it..."

In order to attract customers, Qin Tian and the others specially hired two smooth-talking people to yell at the door.

Many of the guests from West Market came to join in the fun, but after they picked up a book and flipped through a page or two, they were immediately attracted by the packaging and layout of these books.

Especially the way of threading makes them feel so elegant that they can't be more elegant.

And on the title page of every book, there is such a poem:

The rich don't have to buy fertile land, there are thousands of millets in the book.

There is no need to erect high-rise buildings in Anju, and there is a golden house in the book.

Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when you marry a wife. There is Yan Ruyu in the book.

There is no one to leave when you go out. There are many horses and carts in the book.

The man wanted to read his life histories, and read the Six Classics to the window diligently.

The meaning of this poem is very simple. You can get the gold, beautiful women, etc. you want by studying to get fame.

For many readers, this is simply the most inspirational sentence.

So many people, after reading the title page and seeing this poem, immediately bought a copy of all the books related to the imperial examination without hesitation.

Some people buy books because they want to pass the imperial examinations, but for some dignitaries, aristocratic families, etc., they buy books purely because of the style of the books.

Thread-bound books are convenient to look at and easy to store, and they are also particularly elegant. These aristocratic families, powerful and so on, have a lot of books at home, but compared with thread-bound books, they are far behind.

Therefore, they wanted to buy these books back and keep them well.

These books, even if you don't read them, put them in the study room, they are still pleasing to the eye.

At Datang Bookstore, many people buy in bundles, and even some big families buy in bundles.

Moreover, no matter what book in the bookstore, as long as it is not the same, they want it.

In front of the bookstore, several cashiers were helping to collect the money, and the sound of the abacus was ringing.

"There are 23 books in total, and you will be charged two pennies..."

"A total of 130 six volumes..."

Since the opening of Datang Bookstore, there are not only a lot of books in the store, but also a lot of books in the warehouse behind.

But even in this way, in just two hours, the books in the entire bookstore were almost wiped out, and the degree of madness was simply staggering.

The crowded bookstore finally relaxed slowly, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others giggled silly.

"Looking at this situation, we are going to make a lot of money."

"Who says it's not? With so many books, they were sold out in two hours, which is more than other bookstores have sold in a few years."

"Yeah, although the price is a bit cheaper, but fortunately, small profits but quick turnover, there is still a profit."

Several people were discussing excitedly, but Qin Tian was quite speechless.

"Come on, hurry up to the printing factory and continue to ship some more."

Qin Tian ordered loudly, and Cheng Yaojin and others immediately reacted when they heard it.

"You all follow, and pull all the carriages from the house..."

"You can pull as much as you can..."

If you don't make money, you are a fool.
-
Nine princess mansion.

The maid of the Ninth Princess hurried over.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

After the maid ran over, she handed over a book: "Your Highness, the book you want."

After seeing the book, Princess Jiu couldn't help but frowned: "What kind of book is this, and why is there only one?"

The maid said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, this book was bought from a scalper at a high price by this servant. You don't know that the business of Datang Bookstore is so good that the servant can't squeeze through it at all. A room full of books, sold out in a blink of an eye..."

The maid was spitting and narrating the grand occasion of the bookstore. After hearing this, Princess Nine was very curious. The books were indeed a little cheaper than other people, but even if they were cheap, it wouldn't cause so many people to loot them, right?

The curious Princess Jiu couldn't help but opened the book and took a look. On the front of the book were written the words "Book of Songs", and on the title page was written a poem.

"There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book..." The nine princesses read softly, then smiled slightly, and said: "This poem is clearly written by Qin Tian, ​​I really don't know his brain How did you think, how did you write such a poem, those scholars saw these things in the book, so they bought it desperately."

Princess Jiu thinks that Qin Tian's promotion method is very good.

Looking at the title page, the first poem in "The Book of Songs" is "Guanju"

Guan Guan Jujiu, in the continent of the river. A gentle lady, a gentleman is so charming.

The nine princesses looked at it, and soon found that there was an illustration next to the poem. In the painting, there was a beautiful woman standing by the river, and a gust of wind blew up his clothes...

The painting is very artistic, and with this poem, it makes people yearn for it even more.

Before she knew it, Princess Nine sat in the small attic and read it. A book of poetry is relatively thick. After reading a few pages, she suddenly realized that the way she read was very different from before. It's different, and it's much more convenient.

Ninth Princess smiled wryly. This way of reading is really more humane.

Involuntarily, she liked this kind of books very much, so she hurriedly said to her maid: "You go to the bookstore and wait, when you have the goods, buy all the books for me, by the way, find a carriage. "

When the maid heard that she was asked to buy books again, she immediately showed embarrassment. There are so many people rushing for it, how can she, a weak woman, squeeze in?
But Princess Ninth gave her orders, so she had no choice but to comply.

It was already past noon when the maid pulled the carriage to the West Market, and there were still many people standing in front of the Datang Bookstore. The maid thought they were customers who bought books, so she didn't pay much attention at first.

But when she got closer, she realized that those people were not book buyers at all, but other bookstore merchants in Chang'an City.

These merchants surrounded the door of the bookstore and yelled loudly.

"You have blocked our way of life. If we don't give an explanation today, we...we won't leave."

"Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. We can't survive. If we don't give an explanation today, we will die with your Datang Bookstore."

"........."

After hearing this, the maid froze for a moment.

"So I was looking for trouble." The maid thought, but before she had time to go in and buy books, she ran back in a hurry.

"your Highness……"
