I Have Been In the Demon Slayer Division For 30 Years
Chapter 26: Alien name Liuquan
"Master, this is the Longjing in front of the rain in Longchuan, brewed with spring water from Cuifeng Mountain."
Zhimo turned out to be a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman with beautiful eyes, blue shirt and hair, and a handsome figure.
After serving tea for Zhouyi and the shopkeeper, Zhimo left slowly to guide a new scholar to choose books.
Zhouyi didn't know how to judge the owner of the champion hall, and the business was done to such a degree. Every detail directly hit the scholar's weakness. It is estimated that it is the only one in Da Gan.
The shopkeeper said: "Sir, please sit down and talk."
"thanks."
Zhouyi and Zhang Cheng work together every day, and they are influenced and influenced by him.
Zhang Cheng’s mantra is, drinking alcohol to boost happiness and courage, drinking tea to cultivate one’s self-cultivation.
Zhou Yi is very puzzled, whether he wants to cheer up or keep his health...
The tea is tender and green, with a high aroma and a sweet taste in the mouth.
"Good tea!"
"Longchuan Longjing tea is an imperial tea proclaimed by Taizu, but it is too popular before the Ming Dynasty. There are so many officials and nobles in Kyoto, and the new tea will be gone before the end of the month before the Ming Dynasty."
The shopkeeper obviously loves calligraphy, and I still don’t forget to read it while drinking tea and chatting.
"Sir, this font has the elegance of Shi Heng Gong, and it does not lose the squareness of the Taige style. It can be said to be a self-contained school."
"The shopkeeper's reputation is too high, and I am also copying the copybooks of my colleagues."
Zhouyi carefully tasted the tea, the music has a hint of aura, but unfortunately it is a hundred times different from Zuichungui.
Zhang Cheng himself is a real hermit, and his calligraphy is naturally elegant, and because of the need for copying books, he has absorbed the correctness of the Taige style and formed a unique "Zhang style."
"Even if you don't create your own, Mr.'s calligraphy can be called a master. It is extremely difficult to perfectly blend the two styles."
The shopkeeper's expression remained unchanged when he heard the word colleague, and his tone became respectful again.
Looking through a few volumes of Taoism, as the treasurer of the Zhuangyuantang, I know that this is the Taoist orthodox Taoism, not the outer Taoism of ordinary people by the name of the sage.
The combination of the two, the origin of this son must not be simple.
Zhouyi asked: "The shopkeeper, this mountain spring water tastes so extraordinary, so it is not convenient to tell where it comes from?"
"What's inconvenient, it's not a private spring."
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The spring is on Cuifeng Mountain outside the city. The specific location is, the son goes back up the source of Bibotan, and the end of the stream is right."
"It turned out to be the spring of Bibotan. No wonder the water quality is quite spiritual."
Zhouyi has a deep memory of Bibotan. An old dragon once lived in seclusion in the lake, and finally died in the prison room.
The two chatted and drank tea. Zhouyi read the memories of thousands of demons. They were definitely knowledgeable. The treasurer was in the thousands of books, and he was known as knowing the world.
The more we talked, the more speculation. In a blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed, the tea was changed three or five times.
Until the treasurer turned to the twelve volumes of Taoism, it was a stack of vernacular stories about gods and ghosts, which is exactly "Xingzhe Shuo".
When Zhouyi copied the Taoist scriptures, he edited and copied the "Xing Zhe Shuo" once again.
The first draft of "Xing Zhe Shuo" is to simply write the story of my own experience and the story told by the tor in the vernacular. Later, the story became scarce and the plot repeated too much. Zhouyi began to revise the content.
If the story wants to be spread, it must be novel and interesting. After sorting and processing, there is a second edition.
is now the third edition. On the basis of fun, it has been decorated and polished. The plot has changed slightly, and it has more ups and downs than the original version.
Zhouyi knew that his level was average, and it took several years to revise and revise, which is already the current limit, and finally decided to compile the manuscript into a book.
"This story seems to be similar to "Meigui Jiao Li"."
The shopkeeper finished reading the first article, frowning slightly: "Mei Gui Jiao Li is a banned book in the lower third class, but this is a warning to ordinary people that they will suffer if they live with ghosts. However, scholar Liu Xi and female ghost Zhu Meiniang, Mingming Same…"
"???"
Zhouyi tea almost choked up, what book is Meigui Jiaoli?
"The shopkeeper has seen this story?"
"I have seen more than one."
The shopkeeper showed a smile that a man understands. Seeing that Zhimo was making tea for the scholar, he quietly took out a few books from behind the counter.
Mei Gui Jiao Li, Monk Bull Head, Golden Rooster Repaying Grace...
Zhouyi turned a few pages at random, wishing to use the Ziying Sword to send the person who wrote the book to heaven.
The stories in these books are very familiar. The tormentor’s stories that warn the world have been abruptly adapted into banned books that are in the correct color with the monsters and ghosts stealing incense and jade.
Signed authors are mostly anonymous, anonymous, Xiaoxiaosheng...
"It's true that the torturer said it was written by the following."
Zhouyi's complexion flushed slightly, and he explained: "I originally saw too many demons to harm people. I wrote it out as a warning. I never wanted to pass it around..."
"I see."
There is no doubt that the shopkeeper has him.
The third edition of the torturer said that there is a note at the end of each article, explaining why not to live with the monster, marking the simple methods of restraining the fox demon in the story, and popularizing some common sense of the law through the story.
In the eyes of the shopkeeper, the law of great dryness is an ordinary matter of eating and drinking, but in the eyes of the people at the bottom, it is obscure and difficult to understand. Many times they don't know if they violate the law.
The more you look at the shopkeeper, the more you like it. There are 108 stories in the book. The language is popular and the meaning is profound.
This book will go viral!
The shopkeeper's books are read a lot, and the appreciation level is high, but different from ordinary scholars, they are more judged from the perspective of business.
He did not look down on the vernacular. Many bookstores in Chongrenfang survive by secretly printing banned vernacular books.
"Mr. Do you need to engrave and publish, the Scholar Hall is willing to issue five hundred taels of pens."
Zhou Yi shook his head and refused. The shopkeeper thought he disliked the low price.
"This is already a very high price. It is the best anthology on the market, and it will not exceed one thousand taels."
The shopkeeper explained: "Sir, I don’t know anything about the cost of engraving and inventory risks. Even if they sell very well, they will only benefit from the first batch of books. In a few days, other bookstores will compete to print and sell."
"I agree to print and sell, and no money."
Zhouyi stretched out three fingers: "I want 30% of the net profit from book sales."
"This kind of cooperation is unprecedented..."
The shopkeeper's heart quickly calculated.
The manpower cost of printing a book is known. Each book sells for two yuan, earning one yuan and five. The cost of manpower, material resources and time was lost by 30%, and 500 taels of money needed to sell about 5,000 copies.
A new book of 5,000 copies of the Zhuangyuantang has been printed and sold for a while, so the shopkeeper said that the pen cost is extremely high.
If the distribution is based on 30% of the net profit, there will only be no more than 15,000 copies, which is less than five hundred taels.
This business can be done!
"Sir, shall we sign a contract now?"
The shopkeeper took out a standard contract. The Zhuangyuantang has a very well-known reputation. It prints hundreds of new books every year. You only need to change the fixed pen in the contract to a net profit share.
I read Zhouyi again, and it's roughly okay.
Compared with the thick stack of contracts in the previous life, one page of contracts of several hundred words can find a hundred loopholes.
Just talk about the calculation method of net profit, so that the Zhuangyuantang can easily smooth out all the net profits and get a book in vain. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
The contract is to guard against the gentleman but not against the villain.
Of course, Zhou Yi didn't care about contracts at all, and being prudent and cautious is not a tortoise.
Zhuangyuantang dare to do the first year of the junior high school, holding the central idea that revenge is not overnight, there will be a fairy sword cut over at night.
"Yes, but I need to add one."
Zhouyi said: "One hundred and eight stories are divided into three volumes, the upper, the middle and the lower, and they are sold separately.
The shopkeeper secretly thought that selling separately not only made more profit, but also effectively prevented piracy. Once the first book goes viral, it can also greatly enhance the reputation of the champion.
"Mr. Gao Ming, you don't know your last name yet? It's good to sign your name in the book."
"Let’s use Lay Liuquan."
The shopkeeper expressed his understanding that books such as Dagan Zhiwei are not in the mainstream, and they despise the vernacular at the bottom of the chain. The authors rarely use their real names.
"It's so good, I wish the new book of Jushi will sell well."
The shopkeeper said: "Tomorrow, I will find someone to proofread. I may remove some taboo paragraphs and vocabulary. I hope the layperson will not mind."
"It's okay."
From the very beginning of Zhouyi writing "Xing Zhe Shuo", he paid attention to taboo.
The second revision deletes some stories that expose officialdom, metaphor the court, and mock the state of the world.
The book "Xing Zhe Shuo" was originally written for the sake of history, nor was it to express ideas directly.
Zhouyi saw a lot of demons and monsters in the Xingfang Great Prison, and the people’s livelihood was so difficult. I wrote this book to avoid the same tragedy.
What ideals, what three views, what spiritual food, and the distance from the people of the lower ranks, it is better to spread a few more meaningful stories.
Just like what the Xun Zhe said at the beginning: If someone can get warnings from it and avoid disasters, even if this book is not written in vain...
