"You are sick!"

"Aren't you sick to set the price of that book at 50 taels? You should know that some ordinary single copies sell for 50 taels."

Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "I don't really want to sell it for 50 taels of silver."

"If you don't want to sell 50 taels of silver, why do you set the price of 50 taels?" Zhou Yu asked strangely.

"A gimmick! Get it?"

"What's the meaning?"

"If you went to Zhuangyuan Bookstore and saw a novel selling for 50 taels of silver, what would be your first thought?"

"Of course, I went to see what was written, and it sold for 50 taels...I understand!" Zhou Yu patted his forehead and said, "If your price is set at an ordinary level, and it only takes five days, I'm afraid no one will notice. .But if you set a price of 50 taels, someone will definitely notice it, and someone will definitely read it.”

"Smart!" Luo Xin snapped his fingers.

Zhou Yu imitated Luo Xin and snapped his fingers, but it didn't happen, so he shook his hand and continued:
"However, you have only achieved the purpose of being seen by others, but you may not be able to achieve the result of spreading the word. It depends on how well you write."

"It will definitely spread the word!"

Luo Xin said confidently.Is not this nonsensical?In the era of information explosion and prosperous culture in later generations, "The Legend of Shushan" is regarded as a classic. In this era of poor culture and entertainment, will "The Legend of Shushan" be popular?Will it be hot?

Zhou Yu shook his head, the expression on his face clearly said "I don't believe it", but he didn't say it out, but asked:

"Brother Xin, shall we stay here or go back?"

"Stay overnight and go back tomorrow."

"If you want to talk about it, 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 will only stay out for one night, and if I don't come back for a few days, my mother will be worried."

"Then go back!" Zhou Yu was a little discouraged.

Zhuangyuan Bookstore.

The shopkeeper sat behind the counter, asked the waiter to make a pot of tea, and then took "The Legend of Shushan" in his hand. He was very curious about what kind of book it was when Luo Xin actually set the price at 50 taels.

Putting the book on his lap, he poured himself a cup of tea first, shook his head while pouring the tea and murmured in a low voice:

"What can a child write? He dares to ask for 50 taels. This is crazy about money."

After taking a sip of tea, he put down the teacup and picked it up from his lap. "Shushan Biography" opened the first page,

"Brother Xin, what book are you writing? I think it says "The Legend of Shushan" on the cover?" Zhou Yu asked as he walked towards the inn with Luo Xin.

"Well, it's "The Legend of Shushan"."

"Shu Mountain? Which mountain is it?"

"It's Emei."

"What are you talking about? Tell me."

"Forget it, just tell the elder brother!" Luo Xin said in a low voice while walking:
"We are talking about Mount Emei in Sichuan, which is a famous scenic spot in Sichuan. People in the past said that there are many strange mountains and rivers in Western Shu, but Emei is the most outstanding. Every year, good men and women who go to the mountains come from thousands of miles away. In addition to the high mountains and beautiful waters, the mountains and the cockroaches, and the majestic atmosphere, there are quite a few people who only go to the mountains to enjoy the scenery. The scenery of the back mountain is particularly strange. There are many dragons and snakes, deep forests and valleys, most of which are the shelters of tigers, leopards and wolves. People who travel to the back of the mountain often never return. Most people speculate wildly, some say they were eaten by tigers, wolves, monsters, and some It is said that those who have been rescued by immortals and Buddhas have gathered different lawsuits, and there is no consensus. After all, people are flesh and blood, and eighty-nine out of ten people are weak-willed. Those masters who are resting in the back mountain, save a lot of dust and trouble, and enjoy the happiness of the scenic spot of the Lingshan Mountain, not to mention.

Sichuan has experienced wars since the end of the Song Dynasty. Ten rooms and nine empties, often hundreds of miles away, have no human habitation. This makes this land of abundance miserable, like a ghost market.After Mongolia entered the customs and established the Yuan Dynasty..."

Luo Xin changed the wars at the end of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Song Dynasty in the original text, changed the entry of the Manchus to the entry of Mongolia, and went back to the inn while talking...

Inside the Zhuangyuan Bookstore.

The shopkeeper was already fascinated by it, but just halfway through it, a scholar named Liang Tao walked in from the door.

As the saying goes, how good the top is, the bottom must be the same.

Like most scholars, he also respects 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. Confucianism has borrowed a lot of Taoist thought.Wang Yangming, the founder of Xinxue, even borrowed a lot of Taoist thought.

What's more, among the hundred schools of thought, only Taoism, Legalism and Confucianism have become the academics of governing the country, and none of the other schools has reached that height.Therefore, even Confucian children have no resistance to Taoism, and now that the Holy One respects Taoism, there are a large number of scholars who like to look for some Taoism after reading the Four Books and Five Classics.

When the waiter saw Liang Tao coming in, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Young Master Liang, what books are you here to buy today?"

"I'll take a look."

The clerk smiled and followed him. Liang Tao first went to browse the bookshelves where the Four Books and Five Classics and annotations were placed. Seeing that there were no new books, he turned to Daozang to browse.Turning around occasionally, I saw the bookshelf where the novel was placed. There was an empty seat on it, but the price tag said "50 taels".

Liang Tao pointed to the vacant seat curiously and asked the guy, "What book is there? It's already sold?"

"That's..." The clerk glanced at the shopkeeper and saw that the shopkeeper was fascinated. He didn't feel Liang Tao coming in at all, nor did he hear the conversation between Liang Tao and him, so he said in a low voice:
"That is a book called "Shu Shan Biography"."

"Biography of Shushan? What is it about?" Liang Tao was curious, what book could sell for 50 taels of silver?

"I don't know." The man shook his head.

"sold?"

"No!" The clerk glanced at the shopkeeper again and said, "It's at our shopkeeper's place."

It was only at this time that Liang Tao noticed the silent shopkeeper behind the counter. He was also a regular 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 50 taels of silver.Generally, the ordinary annotations of the Four Books and Five Classics are only a few pennies, and the better ones are only a dozen pennies, but now they come out with 50 taels of silver...

The most important thing is that the shopkeeper has been fascinated by it, and Liang Tao's heart itch to see it in that state.He quickly walked behind the shopkeeper, stretched out his head and looked over.

"Shushan Biography" is about [-] words in one chapter, and only [-] words have been written ten chapters. At this time, the shopkeeper has read the eighth chapter.
