The Legend of Martial Arts: the Strongest Handyman

Aunt Fan looked at the two eagerly. The Xiucai side had just recovered from the panic. Hearing the topic of the question, he sighed in relief and sat on the chair with his hair far away. thrown behind.

"Of course it's me."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Guo immediately jumped out to refute.

"nonsense!"

"The description here is clearly Qin Feng, okay?"

Xiucai wanted to refute, but when he saw Guo Furong who was standing by the side, who had already made a gesture of overwhelming mountains and seas, he swallowed and spit...

"Indeed... it is indeed the description of Qin Feng..."

He acquiesced to Guo Furong's words in a low voice, showing that he temporarily succumbed to Guo Furong's lewd power.

However, according to the content of the book he wrote, the picture depicted here is really the whole process of Qin Fengneng's arrival at the inn, the eradication of the Black Stone and the slaying of the dragon a few days ago.

Although it is not stated, and even many of the things have been changed to the status of a scholar, as long as it is a person who lives in the inn, a simple flip of two pages will be able to determine who is written in it.

Qin Feng's story has really spread.

"it is good!"

Madam Fan got an affirmative reply from the original author, Lu Xiucai, and she immediately burst out laughing: "It's decided, you can continue to write this book according to the current context, and write as long as you can. Write as wonderfully as you can, and I, Fan Wulian, have it all!"

"I can push this book a lot. At that time, I will have this book "Wulin Biography" right above the bookstores in the entire capital!"

Her extremely excited expression made Xiucai even more uneasy.

"This...you're not lying to me, are you?"

As soon as the words came out, Aunt Fan here snorted and took out a thin bill directly from her bag.

"This is a note from the Qin family bank in the capital, and it's 1000 taels of silver on it!"

"Did you see it?"

　 　Both Xiucai and Xiao Guo nodded at the same time and swallowed.

"It's yours!"

Madam Fan proudly threw the bill to the scholar in front of her, and said with a serious face, "Give me the book!"

"If you still use the above, then I can find someone to excerpt it, and then I will take a manuscript!"

The bill in Xiucai's arms seemed to be a hot potato, and Guo Furong had never seen so much money before, and her eyes immediately became straight.

"Show me, Xiucai!"

Xiucai had a downtrodden family since he was a child, so he had never seen so much money since he was a child.

"I didn't expect that I, Lu Qinghou, would actually have one day to write a book and become famous!"

Scholar's spring, is it really coming? ! .

Chapter 204

"I don't care whether you can be famous or not, what I care about now is whether your book can be popular!"

Aunt Fan's shrewdness couldn't be any more shrewd, and she quickly said her request from the side.

"I don't need to say more when I take this book, and more importantly, there is this contract!"

Aunt Fan took out another piece of paper from her arms and stretched it out directly in her hand.

"The contents here are all about the details of the contract rules for this book's publication. You two better take a closer look."

Xiao Guo snorted and took the contract with a curious expression: "How come there is still a contract..."

"Of course there is a contract! I am publishing a book from a bookstore, not a charity association giving benefits!"

Aunt Fan snorted, turned around and noticed that Lao Bai was just coming back from outside at this time.

In the early morning, Lao Bai and Xiao Guo went out at the same time. Xiao Guo went to Zuojiazhuang, while he went to Shibalipu to run errands.

With excellent light energy, he was already back in the morning.

"Oh, who is this distinguished guest?"

Bai Zhan 24 was carrying a burden on his back, and when he saw a strange middle-aged woman sitting in the inn, he immediately laughed.

"This is from the capital..."

Xiao Guo hurriedly made an introduction, but was directly interrupted by Aunt Fan's voice.

"Fan Wulian from the capital."

"Oh!"

Lao Bai put the burden directly on the cabinet in the lobby, and then nodded: "I said before that Xiao Guo is a very powerful bookseller in the capital, right?"

"I've seen "Out of the Wall" written by you!"

"Old White!"

"I didn't expect you to be such a person!"

"Master!"

As soon as Bai Zhantang's words came out, he instantly felt as if he had said something wrong, and as expected, he got three different exclamations.

Xiucai is basically reading books. Of course, these banned books are also looking for opportunities to take a look at the country. Of course, they are deeply impressed by these things that are not too much, so when they hear Lao Bai talking here, they immediately know what books are.

As for Guo Furong, it was only a few days ago when he discussed this matter with Lao Bai, and only when he heard a few regular customers who had been eating at the side, did he know all this. At that time, Lao Bai's expression was more serious and serious. !

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhantang would say it again today.

Aunt Fan didn't have so many rules, but she was very happy when she heard someone say the books printed by her bookstore.

"That's right, young man! You even know this book. It seems that you have heard of my name too."

"Who hasn't heard of Aunt Fan's name?"

Bai Zhantang put down his burden, sat on the chair, poured a bowl of tea and took two sips, then heaved a sigh of relief: "I am the person Qin Feng talked to you directly in the store, my name is Bai Zhantang, you call me Lao Bai Just fine."

Aunt Fan noticed Qin Feng's name when she heard it.

"Qin Feng just asked you to talk to me?"

"of course."

"Okay...you guys first look at what's written in this contract."

What Qin Feng said before has already been taken in mind by Mrs. Fan, so she really did what he said at this time.

Bai Zhantang had carefully investigated the rules for publishing these books before, so now that he saw the contract, he frowned and raised his eyebrows.

"This one...all the remuneration you get will need to be negotiated and distributed with your Qingyun Bookstore. What does this mean? Also, your bookstore was not called this Qingyun Bookstore before, why do you still need to cooperate with this bookstore?"

Aunt Fan clearly knew that someone would ask such a question, so she explained with a smile: "The imperial court is greedy for the money that we booksellers are earning, so it is said that a high tax is imposed on us big bookstores, so we If you directly help the scholar's "Wulin Biography" to be printed and published, then the high amount of silver will be taken away by the imperial court."

"This Qingyun Bookstore also belongs to me, but the taxation of these bookstore departments by the imperial court is far less than that of my own bookstore, so... In order to reasonably avoid the taxation of the imperial court, you must sign a contract with Qingyun Bookstore. ."

Aunt Fan explained it briefly, but it made Xiucai understand.

"When there is a problem, you should still come to my bookstore. This so-called Qingyun Bookstore is just a place with a name on it, and it will not directly intersect with you."

Xiucai nodded suddenly, he had heard of these methods to avoid the imperial court's collection of taxes, but he did not expect that he would actually encounter them today.

Madam Fan couldn't help but recite brokenly: "One of these things is not farm work, and the other is not something that the imperial court can control, so basically they are heavily taxed areas, and the deduction is from one-tenth to four-tenths or even To seven or eight out of ten, it depends on which aspects the Ming Dynasty is more strict with.”

Lao Bai's side can only say: "Then it was rumored in the capital that you earned tens of thousands of taels for a book, and the court took more than half of it?"

"Just like the previous "Out of the Wall", after the first month of sales alone, the imperial court took [-]% of the money from us!"

Aunt Fan was very angry and took such a big risk, but she didn't make much money in the end, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

"what?!"

Xiao Guo's side is still relatively naive. As soon as Mrs. Fan said that the book could be published reasonably, and at the same time that she was levied a high amount of taxes, she felt a little compelled.

"Isn't this book a banned book, why can it still be published normally?"

"Forbidden books? Hahaha... They say they are banned books, but they can actually be printed!"

Aunt Fan smiled disapprovingly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, there is someone on me!"

"Although these books are strictly controlled in the Ming Dynasty, as long as you bring money and clear the relationship a little in the palace, when the people in charge of these books drink a little wine, these books can basically be published."

"A book sold in the country costs at least tens of thousands of taels, plus a [banned book] name and up!"

"hey-hey……"

"What's the biggest problem with people? Curiosity!"

"The more you don't want people to read something, the more people want to see it. After going back and forth, the title of this book has been released, isn't it just making money!"

As soon as the words fell, the three people present were stunned.

What Madam Fan said was all about the dark-box operation of printing books in the bookstore. If it weren't for the insiders, few people really knew about this content!

After Aunt Fan finished speaking, she didn't take it seriously: "I'm telling you all this, in fact, it's just to say that our bookstore is powerful, and it's famous in the capital!"

"This time, it was Qin Daxia who guaranteed the bottom line. Only now did I reveal these industry secrets to increase your confidence!"

"Even if you leave this matter to me, at the worst you can earn [-] taels of silver!".

Chapter 205

Lao Bai's side is considered to be an old river and lake, so it can almost prove that what Aunt Fan said at this time is basically true.

And now what Aunt Fan said is enough to press the bottom of the box no matter what aspect it is, and it also verifies her sincerity from the side.

The three people here look at the entire contract. Except for some problems in the account division, the rest of the content is basically OK.

So Guo Furong and Bai Zhantang looked at each other quickly, and after discussing with Xiucai, they immediately decided to make a decision.

As long as the contract is signed, the show will just have to sit and wait to collect the money!
