Chapter 95: The Continuation of Liaozhai and Piracy
Life is like a pile of chicken feathers, but we still have to pick them up and make a feather duster.
Zhao Xun, who has lived in two generations, has long understood this. It is impossible to completely separate life and work, and it will also make himself very miserable.
Pain is also a day, happiness is also a day, so why not keep smiling?
After all, boys who love to laugh will not have bad luck.
Zhao Xun, who received the thirty-day extension, was in a good mood and was able to put down his work for the time being and start working on the manuscript.
The popularity of Nie Xiaoqian's chapter in "Liao Zhai" was unexpected to Zhao Xun. Wangcai's bookstore made a lot of money, and Zhao Xun's dividends were also considerable.
It seems that the folks from the Zhou Dynasty really like to watch the Legend of Zhiguai.
"Liao Zhai" is the culmination and even the pinnacle of fantasy novels. Putting it in the Zhou Dynasty is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
Whether it is the choice of words or sentences or the development of the plot, the maturity of "Liao Zhai" is unmatched by other legends of legends from the Zhou Dynasty.
Zhao Xun is like drawing a special ultra-rare card of SSR level and dealing crazy output to a group of N-level ordinary cards.
The two are not on the same level at all. Not only will these beggar's version of fantasy novels not pose any threat to "Liao Zhai", they will also be cannibalized by "Liao Zhai" and the market will be exhausted.
What makes Zhao Xun even more ecstatic is that people in this era have no awareness of anti-monopoly.
Although "Liao Zhai" is the dominant one, the government has no intention of imposing sanctions.
It seems that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as they don't commit suicide like Sixth Brother Lu Guangdou and write books that analyze and speculate on the fate of the court, they will not be easily harmonized.
Of course, Zhao Xun will not be too high-profile. Making a fortune in silence is the way to go.
In addition, Zhao Xun also published a "Collection of Poems by Zhao Mingyun" under Wangcai's strong suggestion.
The sales volume of this poetry collection is no worse than that of the "Liao Zhai" series. The key is that it also won Zhao Xun great reputation.
It is true that the Zhou Dynasty favored martial arts, but the literati still had considerable say.
If he gains a prestigious position in the literary world, it will be of great benefit to his future development.
It is true that Zhao Xun became famous at the Qujiang Poetry Fair and was accepted by the mountain chief as a disciple of the academy, confirming his status as a Wenqu star.
But in this era, publicity is also very important, and the fragrance of wine is also afraid of the alley. If you don’t publicize, you will only know a small group of people.
But if there is a big publicity, it won't be long before the entire city of Chang'an will know Zhao Xun's name, and Zhao Xun's reputation as a poet will forever be recorded in history.
From the moment Zhao Xun decided to join the academy and become a disciple of the mountain leader, it meant that he could no longer take the imperial examination route.
Therefore, he must maintain a good relationship with the civil service class.
The two parties may not be allies, but it is best not to be enemies.
Because the most insidious people are always the scholars.
Warriors are at most true villains, but literati may be hypocrites.
As we all know, a hypocrite is much scarier than a real villain, because you never know when he will stab you.
Scholars don't use knives to kill people, they use pens, and sometimes it's really impossible to guard against them.
The key point is that these censors still enjoy the power to complain without evidence, and they are like a group of keyboard warriors.
Zhao Xun wants to tell these civil servants through his poetry that they are essentially a kind of people and there is no need to mess with me.
Only in this way can Zhao Xun work with peace of mind and enjoy life with peace of mind.
Of course, Zhao Xun is just a small crook in Fei Pao now. With a lower status, he can fish in troubled waters even if he doesn't express his stance clearly.
But if his status continues to rise in the future and he becomes a very important person in the Great Zhou Dynasty, then both the military class and the civil servant class will probably force Zhao Xun to take a stand.
But that is the future, and there is no need for Zhao Xun to live in a state of anxiety because of the future.
As a person, the most important thing is to be happy.
Zhao Xun thought about this, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote quickly.
"He, a Taoist priest of Chaotian Temple, likes the art of breathing and breathing. There is a man who lives in the temple, and he likes it, so he becomes a friend of Xuan. He has lived there for several years, and every time he goes to the suburbs to offer sacrifices, he often leaves for ten days and then returns.
The Taoist priest asked him in doubt. Weng said: "I and I have no objections. You can tell me the truth: I am a fox. When the suburbs come, the gods will be pure and filthy, and I will have no place to tolerate them, so I am hiding from my ears."
"Another year later, I left on time and never came back. I doubted it. One day, I came suddenly. I asked him why. He replied: 'I will never see my son again! I wanted to stay away for a long time, but my heart was quite lazy, so I looked away.
The sewer was very hidden, so he lurked under the urn. Unexpectedly, the spirit official's excrement came here, and he caught a glimpse of it. He was furious and wanted to be whipped. He was afraid and ran away. The spirit officer chased him in a hurry. When he reached the Yellow River, he was about to reach him. He was in great embarrassment.
Without any plan, he scurried through the chaos."
"The gods were disgusted by the filth and began to return to the body. Once they came out, they were contaminated by the stench and could not come back to the world. They drowned themselves in water and hid in caves for hundreds of days until the filth and turbidity were purified. Now we are farewell, and both
I hereby advise you: You should also lead him away. A great calamity is coming, and this is not a blessed place. I have said that, and I will resign..."
In just one cup of tea, Zhao Xun finished writing the chapter "Lingguan".
One of the great advantages of "Liao Zhai" is that it is a collection of stories. Each story is an independent story and has no influence on each other. Readers can pick up any story and read it separately without having to endure the pain of catching up.
Unlike Zhao Xun who read some online novels in his previous life, some authors not only updated "The Son of Man" but also liked to break chapters.
This chapter is a good one, because the seduced person can't stop, doesn't want to eat or drink, and can't even sleep well.
Well, Zhao Xun feels that he still has a good sense of style and a high position.
After finishing writing an article, Zhao Xun was about to stretch his legs when, to his surprise, the little fat man Wangcai trotted over.
"Brother Mingyun, something bad is going on. Now there are many bookstores in Chang'an City that are pirated copies of "Liao Zhai". The most serious pirated copies are Nie Xiaoqian's chapters. These people don't want to be sons of men, and they don't want to lose face just to make money!"
The rich man's face turned red and his body was trembling.
Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment, stealing the seal?
How could he forget this?
Even in later generations, it is impossible to completely eliminate piracy. In the feudal era of the Zhou Dynasty, it was not easy to eliminate piracy.
Just like people in this era have no awareness of antitrust, they also have no awareness of copyright.
It is true that Zhao Xun wrote "Liao Zhai" first, but other bookstores can also pirate large quantities of copies and engage in price wars.
As long as they sell it cheaply, readers who are greedy for small profits are still likely to buy cheap pirated versions of "Liao Zhai".
"Brother Mingyun, do you have any good ideas?"
Turn on the anti-theft? This is not an internet article. Zhao Xun shook his head helplessly.
"Perhaps we can add some exquisite illustrations to our Liaozhai manuscript to prevent counterfeiting, but the most important thing is the update speed. As long as we publish the manuscript quickly enough, pirates will never catch up. I have already written this "Lingguan" article
Okay, Wangcai, hurry up and get it printed."
