This impeachment storm is like a typhoon. Although it comes fiercely, it goes away quickly.
In the next few days, it was as if the incident had never happened. Whether they were siding with the Liu family or the Wei family, all the parties involved collectively remained silent.
Although everyone kept silent, they also knew that this was most likely just the beginning.
The capital has returned to its former peace, or it has always been so peaceful.
And with this peace, Wei Changtian also lived a very regular life for a few days.
In the morning, I played martial arts, in the afternoon I practiced Tianluo Boxing and Guichen Knife with Xu Qingwan, in the evening I practiced calligraphy, and in the evening I continued to tell monkey stories.
Oh, I occasionally go to Yangliu Shi for discussion.
After all, Xiao Feng asked Yang Liushi to seduce him, so he had to do something to show off.
In order to show that he has been successfully "seduced", Wei Changtian shows off every time he goes to Fengqi Pavilion. In addition to having to endure the jealous looks of others, it is inevitable that Lu Jingyao will hear some gossip.
Wei Changtian never denied this, which made Lu Jingyao sulky almost every day.
So on August 28th, two commendable things finally happened.
First, Li Quan became a regular official and became the minister of Dali Temple, and the system rewarded him with 100 points. Wei Changtian cleared his balance and successfully bought the second protagonist's golden finger of the same model - "Monster Photographer".
Second, Chunshen Bookstore officially opened today to sell books.
It was not convenient for Wei Changtian to show up for this kind of thing, but Lu Jingyao couldn't help but run to join in the fun, and didn't come back until dusk with the setting sun on her head.
…
"It's a pity you didn't go, there were so many people!"
In the study, Lu Jingyao sat opposite Wei Changtian, reporting on today's "grand occasion" with a lively look on her face.
"Li Yang invited all the chiefs of Yunyan Poetry Club. Many scholars came to watch the fun, and later they even got together to recite poems and write poems..."
The Yunyan Poetry Society is quite famous in the capital and has gathered many literati.
However, in Wei Changtian's opinion, the function of all literati organizations is only to communicate with each other about which brothel has the best girls, and it does not help in improving cultural accomplishment at all.
He looked at Lu Jingyao who was chattering away, and said helplessly: "No matter how many people go there, what's the use? What matters is how the books are sold?"
"Of course!"
Lu Jingyao said excitedly: "All the five hundred copies of the first printing of "Journey to the West" have been sold out, and hundreds of collector's editions of poetry collections have also been sold..."
“Really good.”
Wei Changtian nodded.
Since we are opening a bookstore, we cannot just sell one book. We must also prepare books such as poetry collections and anthologies of famous writers for sale.
Anyway, there is no awareness of copyright protection these days. Besides, most of the authors of these books have passed away long ago.
However, this kind of book was also sold in other bookstores, so in order to enhance the difference of Chunshen Bookstore, Wei Changtian thought about it and finally came up with the concept of "collector's edition".
Books don’t have to be used for reading, they can also be used for collecting!
Li Yang was amazed by such a novel concept as soon as it came out, and he immediately put it into action and produced a batch of collector's edition books.
The cost is more than ten times that of ordinary books, the price is dozens of times that of ordinary books, and the profit is hundreds of times that of ordinary books.
Even though it can still sell hundreds of copies, Wei Changtian can only lament that no one in any era can escape the clutches of IQ tax products.
"By the way, I also brought you a collector's edition of "Journey to the West"!"
On the other side, Lu Jingyao was talking and suddenly remembered this important thing. She immediately got up and ran back to her room, and soon came back with a brocade silk bag.
The bag is entirely made of silk and satin, with elegant cloud patterns embroidered on it. There are only four small characters arranged from top to bottom in the center - Chunshen Bookstore.
Wei Changtian took the bag in surprise, never expecting that Li Yang could use the word "luxury" to such an extent.
Although he came up with the concept of the collector's edition himself, he always thought that adding a harder cover to the book would be luxurious these days...
It seems that when it comes to "spending money", a pseudo-rich second generation like me still has a long way to go!
Wei Changtian sighed for a while, stretched out his hand to pull open the cloth strip at the top of the bag, and gently shook out the contents.
An extremely exquisite copy of "Journey to the West" with a cover painting.
A small wooden box with a deck of playing cards neatly stacked inside.
A neatly folded playing card instruction manual, which details the rules of five ways to play, including "fighting the devil", "cheating the golden flower", and "hoeing the earth".
Everything is printed with the logo of "Chunshen Bookstore", and in addition, there is a small silver swallow in the bag.
It's only about the size of a thumb, but the carvings are lifelike.
"What the hell is this?"
Wei Changtian played with Yinyan and asked casually.
"This is the token of Chunshen Poetry Society."
Lu Jingyao explained: "Only when you buy the collector's edition of Journey to the West will you get this gift, and having this gift means you have joined the Chunshen Poetry Society."
"Chunshen Poetry Club? When was this established?" Wei Changtian looked confused.
"Keke, it's a method Li Yang just came up with a few days ago."
Lu Jingyao covered her mouth and smiled: "He invited several talented girls from the capital, as well as many famous brothels, to the poetry club with huge sums of money. When many young men heard this today, they bought books without even thinking about it."
"???"
Good guy, I'm just a good guy!
Is the VIP membership system already available? What about part-time pimping, bah, high-end dating?
I’m afraid it won’t be long before it becomes a large-scale business social platform!
Li Yang, you really didn’t come from time travel??
Everyone in Wei Changtian was dumbfounded, but when Lu Jingyao saw him like this, she thought he was yearning for the poetry club, so she quickly snatched Yinyan away, muttering to herself.
"You are not allowed to go there, it is not a good place..."
"..."
Wei Changtian was still thinking about the bookstore and didn't care that Yin Yan was taken away. He was stunned for a long time before asking a key question.
"How much does this set cost?"
"Fifty taels of silver." Lu Jingyao stretched out a small slap.
"Five, fifty taels?"
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment: "Really, someone would spend fifty taels to buy this thing???"
Lu Jingyao affirmed: "Of course, didn't I just say it? Many young masters have bought it."
"..."
Wei Changtian opened his mouth, asked again about the price of the "Simplified Edition" of Journey to the West, and then roughly estimated today's profit.
Putting aside the initial investment of space and equipment, the net profit is about two to three thousand taels...
Although it was the opening day, it was still... too much!
If Journey to the West and poker become really popular in the future...
The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and he thought it was time to come up with something like that!
Throwing aside the collector's edition of Journey to the West in his hand, he raised his head and asked Lu Jingyao with a smile: "Do you want to play a more interesting game than poker?"
"Ah, ah?"
Lu Jingyao blushed, lowered her head and muttered: "Yes, what is it..."
Wei Changtian didn't see her reaction and said proudly:
