Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 426 New Questions

After she finished her work, Yao Shuqi said: "Master, there is something, because you have been busy and the matter is not urgent, so I didn't report it to you."

"what's up?"

"It's what I mentioned to you last time, about the teahouse and the script. The teahouse has been operating at a low price for a while, and although it has attracted a small number of customers, it doesn't matter to us because our script is wonderful. Later, it was afraid that it could not support it anymore, so it raised the price. Now it has been operating in a calm manner, which is not a problem. But for some reason, it suddenly changed its plaque yesterday and reopened. At the same time, it also opened a store in the west of the city Branch. They lowered the price to a very low level, and released two new story books, which are no less exciting than our "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Ba Bu". Let's discuss the plot over there."

When Yao Shuqi said this, he raised his head and looked at Du Jinning. Seeing that her expression was still calm, she didn't even frown.He collected himself and continued: "Now that "Tian Long Ba Bu" will be finished soon, and "The Legend of Condor Heroes" will be finished soon, I am afraid that the tea drinkers will not be sticky enough, and they are greedy for freshness and cheapness, so I ran to him You should know that their teahouse is not far from our two shops, and one of the shops is still door-to-door."

Originally, he wanted to tell Du Jinning about this a long time ago, so that she could prepare early and write a new version when she should write a new one.But "Dragon and Babu" and "The Legend of Condor Heroes" are still being written. After Du Jinning finished the government examination, it was only four months before the hospital examination.A person's energy is limited, and Du Jinning is not specialized in writing scripts.How can the business of the teahouse compare with the scientific research and the future?Even if the teahouse closes down, Du Jinning still has other businesses under his name that can support her family and study expenses, so there is no need to bother her with this matter.

So he kept silent.

Besides, he is not without countermeasures.It's just that the person invited to write the storybook is not as wonderful as Du Jinning's own.

"It doesn't matter." Du Jinning was already prepared for this matter. She tapped the table with her fingers, "I will write another story book, and the theme is Xianxia. I still say that legitimate competition is not afraid, as long as they Let's ignore those dirty tricks. If the business is robbed because the story is not as good as the other party's, I will accept the bet and admit defeat. And Uncle Yao, you have to be mentally prepared. You can't always be in a business. It’s going to be booming. It’s normal that the boom will weaken after a while. Even if the business here in Guangxi Province is robbed, it doesn’t matter, we can get the business elsewhere.”

Yao Shuqi knew about the partnership between Du Jinning and Liang Xiankuan in opening a teahouse in the capital. During this time, he was also teaching the manager of the Liang family the experience of running a teahouse.Moreover, his focus has shifted to the direction of the housekeeper, and he is no longer as concerned about gains and losses as before. He is afraid that this business will not do well and Du Jinning will be disappointed in him, so he will be replaced and let him sit on the bench.

His mentality has long been different from before, at least he can look at this problem objectively.

He nodded in agreement and said: "Okay, I understand. But I believe that the young master's words are incomparable to anyone. Even if the tea customers rush to listen to it for a while, they will still return to our teahouse in the end. from here."

Du Jinning waved his hand.People in this era put more emphasis on literature than reason, and the content of the imperial examinations determines that they have been struggling with literature since they were young. There are too many high-level literati.As long as he is willing to spend money to train writers, it is not impossible to write more exciting novels than Jin Yongda.She didn't feel that she was invincible standing on the shoulders of giants.She recognized the facts.

"How did you find the person who wrote the storybook I told you to find?" she asked.

"I found two. One is called Lu Wen, and the other is called Shi Shaocong. Their writing is not bad, but it is far from your level. But there is no way, talented people who make a living by writing story books Very few, and even fewer people are willing to sign a contract with us. I am also a general among the dwarves, so I chose these two."

"You first show me what they wrote."

"Okay, sir."

Seeing that Du Jinning had no other orders, Yao Shuqi withdrew, and after a while, he asked Aoki to deliver two thin volumes of scriptures to Du Jinning's desk.

Aoki is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who was bought together with Aunt Zhu and the others.Yao Shuqi felt that Jiangbei lacked training and was a little careless, so he was a little worried, so he pulled this young man who he thought was very good to be Du Jinning's servant.Qingmu originally had a name given by the original owner, and when he came to serve Du Jinning, he took the initiative to ask the young master to give him a name.Du Jinning casually named him Aoki.

In the past, Du Jinning had been ordering Jiangbei for something, but now that Aoki's arrival made Jiangbei both resigned and full of sense of crisis.Recently, he has been following Guanqi to learn how to be a reasonable boy, and asked Uncle Zhong to give him advice, which is much better than before.

It can be seen that there is competition to drive progress.

Du Jinning flipped through, one was about gifted scholars and beauties; the other was a follow-up work written in the style of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but the author probably wasn't used to writing long novels. Wrote a short story.

The writing style of both books is very good, the characters are vivid, and the plot is quite attractive with twists and turns.Of course, without these advantages, they would not have been put on Du Jinning's desk.

"You ask Uncle Yao to come over." She said to Aoki.

"Okay, young master." Aoki agreed, gave a salute and retreated.

He has received a good education in the original owner's house, and he is careful and well-mannered in doing things, which makes Du Jinning very easy to handle.Unlike Jiangbei, because he has never served anyone before, if you don't explain some things clearly, he won't think of doing them.At first, Du Jinning didn't feel that, but now compared with Aoki, he seemed too passive.

After a while Yao Shuqi came over.

Du Jinning pointed to the two scripts: "These two people, have you signed a contract with them?"

"I signed it." Yao Shuqi said, "And according to your instructions, young master, I also wrote the confidentiality regulations in it, and set the liquidated damages at 1000 taels of silver, and went to the government to sign the red contract. For this, this The two hesitated for a full month before signing. Originally, there was one other person who did not sign because the regulations of our contract were a bit harsh."

Du Jinning nodded; "Then you call them over."

"Yes, sir."

After Yao Shuqi left, Du Jinning polished his ink and began to write the script.

She planned to write Wangyu's "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals".
