Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

Chapter 563 You said it was only a hundred coins!

To say something like writing a novel, you still need a bit of talent.

Otherwise, there are so many web writers in the future, but in the end, there are very few who can make money.

Meng Jiao's talent, to be honest, was not high.

but……

If he just wrote "Three Kingdoms Tongren", then Li Chong felt that it was almost enough.

Anyway...

Some of the words of the ancients can be copied, and those who don’t have to be copied can also be edited by themselves.

just now……

What Meng Jiao lacks the most is the ability to properly process the story.

But there is something to say.

If it wasn't for Li Chong who knew how to ride alone for thousands of miles, then he must have never imagined such a plot.

In fact...

In "Three Kingdoms", there is no such thing as riding alone for thousands of miles. At most, it is just that someone persuaded Prime Minister Cao not to let this person go back easily.

That's it.

of course!

Li Chong is not saying that it must be written like riding a thousand miles alone.

can only say……

Let's see what Meng Jiao can write in the end.

Li Chong wasted a whole day to teach Meng Jiao how to write.

This made Xiu Mu, Li Chong didn't play well with the concubine.

in fact……

When it comes to making up stories, it might be better to find people who are good at making up stories.

Of course!
After all, Li Chong also wanted to increase the upper limit.

Because in the future you sell books, right? If you say it was written by the storyteller under the flyover, then no one else will read it.

But if you say it was written by Meng Jiao, even though Meng Jiao's official work is not very good, he still has a certain influence in the circle of literati.

After all, everyone knows his poems.

This is like, Jack Ma farts are delicious.

If it was written by Meng Jiao, others would infinitely exaggerate the central idea expressed in this book.

even……

In the end, maybe it will be studied like a dream of Red Mansions.

of course!

Just in case.

Li Chong definitely didn't just let Meng Jiao do this alone.

He will definitely find a few more, such as some teachers who have been frustrated in the officialdom. It can only be said that their time may be more abundant than that of Meng Jiao.

The days passed like this.

The paper mill, also in time for autumn, can finally be put into use.

For this paper, it's not a big problem.

To control, nothing more than the cost issue.

Too good paper is expensive and will add to the cost of the book.

and so……

What Li Zhongzhong did was to limit the quality of a piece of paper.

When it was almost early autumn, large quantities of paper had already been produced.

Li Chong then asked Luo Shen to start trying to use engraving and printing to complete the engraving of some classics and historical books.

Li Chong also watched a few copies of the printed effect.

Compared with the previous scriptures...

It does seem to be so aesthetically pleasing.

and……

In order to be as beautiful as possible.

Li Zhong also adjusted the typesetting of the text.

In addition...

Finally, read the sentences and add them all.

And it is added with another different color, such as light red ink.

All at once!

The book felt clear and easy to read.

Rather than like many other books, the words are all crowded together, which is not easy to read at all.

I don't even know that I should disconnect until I read that.

Li Chong took the first printed book back to show Luo Weiyun and Xiaoxiao.

When he heard that Luo Weiyun and Xiao Xiao felt that it would be more convenient to read in this way, then Li Chong felt that the effect he wanted had been achieved.

But actually...

Li Chong prefers to read sideways.

If it were not for the consideration of the reading habits of the people of Tang Dynasty, then Li Zhong must have typed horizontally.

You can do it vertically!

Standing vertically gives people the feeling that this book has become enduring.

Because you really have to read it word for word for it to work.

It's not like reading horizontally. It's completely possible to read ten lines at a glance, but at least, one or two lines at a glance is absolutely no problem.

No.20 days after autumn.

Only then did Li Chong show the finished first edition to Aye.

After Li Chun got it, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and said to Li Chong: "This book is printed like this, so people are reluctant to leave notes on it."

Li Zhong said: "If it is not necessary to increase the process, it is not impossible to even add the annotations of some famous masters in the past dynasties."

Li Chun then asked: "How much does such a book cost?"

Speaking of this, Li Chong couldn't help but sighed, "Although my son has kept the cost down as much as possible, but...it's still a bit expensive."

Li Chun said quickly: "Don't be discouraged, if I see such a book outside, even if it sells for [-] Wen, I will take it."

Yup!

The handwritten ones are only [-] characters, but the problem is that the handwritten ones are crooked and all depend on the skills of the scribes.

As for Li Chong's, there is no problem.

For almost every word, even if you turn to the second page and find the same word, it is almost the same length.

This is the benefit of standardization.

Li Chong said: "Aye, do you really think it's worth selling two thousand coins?"

Li Chun: "Of course it's worth it!"

Li Chong said: "Then I can rest assured, the cost of this book is only a hundred or so."

Li Chong couldn't help thinking, then I sell 150 Wen, which is not too much.

of course!

In fact, 150 essays feels a bit much.

Li Chong felt that maybe he could consider it. Fifteen cash, in the form of rental, fifteen cash, can be rented for three months.

During this period... it must not be damaged.

otherwise……

Compensation shall be made at the original price.

The main purpose of this is to expand the scope of the reading group and cover everyone as much as possible.

If you do this, you will definitely not make money in the early stage.

But what, this is the same as building a video website. In the early stage, you spend money first, and then charge vvvip later.

Of course!
Li Chong will definitely not accept vvvip, he hopes that everyone can develop a habit of reading.

The only way to make money is to make the market bigger first.

and……

If they are rich people, of course they will not begrudge the 150 Wen, this lease...in fact, it is mainly for those poor households.

In fact...

It will take some time for this to develop.

cough!
It can only be said that doing so is somewhat extravagant.

But compared with the luxury of his imperial grandfather, this kind of luxury seems a bit worthless.

In addition...

Whether it is the number of writers or engravers, it must be increased accordingly.

Li Chong reckoned that no matter what, he would need to add hundreds, or even thousands of people.

At last……

The number may be fixed at around 5000 to 1.

after all……

This is not a small bookstore.

He is equivalent to the National Library.

After listening to Li Chong's words, Li Chun was also speechless, "You said it's only a hundred coins!"
