The first thousand two hundred and thirty first chapter book trend
Because of a book called "On Politics".
Wei Zheng is on fire.
Fang Xuanling is also popular.
Du He has analyzed that this is actually a win-win situation. Without the printing and publicity of Datang Study, even if Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling could write beautiful articles, it would not be possible to have such a hot market; without Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, Datang If the study were to produce a book called "On Politics," I'm afraid no one would care about it.
In the beginning, "On Political Affairs" was only sought after by scholars. In Chang'an and its surrounding areas, all the scholars had a copy of "On Political Affairs", and during their conversations, the length of "On Political Affairs" was also discussed.
Later, even many merchants and ordinary people began to buy this book. It is one thing to understand it but not to understand it. It is true to keep up with the times.
Suddenly, the first thing people said when they met changed from "Have you eaten?" to "Did you read "On Politics" today?"
Lai Kingdom Government House.
Wang Erniu showed an honest smile, "Master, I didn't expect that this book would make our Tang Dynasty study popular. In just three days, "On Politics" has sold 10,000 copies, and the supply is still in short supply. , a rough estimate is that it will eventually sell about 30,000 copies."
Thirty thousand volumes, that is thirty thousand strings.
As for the cost, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling's manuscript fee was only 700 guan. The total cost of printing, paper, etc. was only 1,000 guan.
The rest is Datang Study's profit.
No wonder that idiot Wang Erniu couldn't close his mouth when he smiled.
Du He, on the other hand, was calm and calm, with a calm and calm face.
Wang Erniu asked curiously: "Master, don't you think this is a huge amount of money?"
Du He said lightly: "It's not a huge sum, it's just a small amount of money. Erniu, you have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, because from today on, Datang Study will be in good times. At most, before dark today, Many people will find Datang Bookstore and hope that Datang Bookstore can publish books for them."
Wang Erniu asked doubtfully: "Master, is it true?"
“Because,” Du He explained, “Datang Study now has two features that cannot be replaced by other books. First, Datang Study’s printing quality is the best, the paper is the best, and the bound books are also the most exquisite. Second, for a book like "On Politics" that is so popular throughout Chang'an City, only Datang Study House can design it, and only Datang Study House can have such a huge appeal that all bookstores promote this book for us. So, definitely Some people will be moved. Let’s not talk about it remotely, but let’s talk about many people in the court. These people have always liked to write books and write stories. However, after many people’s books are printed, they are placed in boxes at home and no one cares about them. Now , they definitely want to cooperate with Shuzhai..."
Wang Erniu heard this, rubbed his hands, and said excitedly: "Oh, if the ministers of the court and the central government can cooperate with us, wouldn't it mean that the reputation of Datang Study Room can be even higher, hehe..."
Snapped.
Du He picked up the folding fan on the table, slapped Wang Erniu on the forehead, and said: "Look at your worthless look. Remember, from now on, anyone who publishes a book must charge a fair fee. Author fees are impossible. ...For example, a book like "On Political Affairs" costs 5,000 guan to publish, and the book sold after printing is divided 50-50 between us and the author."
"Ah?" Wang Erniu's eyes widened, "Five thousand strings? Master, will anyone be fooled?"
Du He: "..."
Wang Erniu realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly lowered his head.
Du He said speechlessly: "Anyway, you do as I ask. If you don't do it well, I will break your legs."
Wang Erniu said quickly: "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely handle this matter well."
Du He smiled slightly.
Erniu underestimates the need of many people to become famous.
…
Situ Mansion.
Wang Chongji walked into the backyard and greeted Wang Gui, who was drinking tea under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
"father!"
Wang Gui asked hurriedly: "Jier, how did that matter go?"
Wang Chongji hesitated for a moment and said: "Dad, I have been to the Tang Dynasty Study Hall in person. Wang Erniu actually said that there are two conditions for publishing a book. First, my father must send your article to
The study will ask Du He, Ma Zhou and others to review it, and only after it is approved can the book be published; secondly, the Datang Study House must first be given five thousand guan, which is the cost of publishing the book. After the book goes on sale, the cost of the books sold will be
,50/50..."
As he said this, Wang Chongji frowned.
This cost is too expensive.
And it's unreasonable.
Once the book cannot be sold, the five thousand guan will be wasted.
Datang Study is a guaranteed profit without loss.
Unexpectedly, Wang Gui said generously: "According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty study, I immediately sent someone to talk to Wang Erniu. I want to be the first for my father. What my father lacks is not money. Ji'er, you have to know.
No amount of money can buy such a thing as reputation. You see, scholars all over the world highly respect Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling. For those who don’t know, they thought they were the only officials in the Tang Dynasty. As fathers
I feel dissatisfied..."
Wang Chongji suddenly realized: "I understand."
Wang Chongji went to do it immediately.
A few days later.
A new book by Wang Gui is now available for printing.
The title of the book is "The Secrets Wang Situ Has to Tell".
The propaganda was even larger and more explosive than the previous "On Politics".
Wang Gui strongly opposed it at first.
However, after only one day of sales and two thousand copies sold, he automatically shut up.
"The Secret Wang Situ Has to Tell" completely started the trend of book publishing in Chang'an City. For a time, there was an endless stream of people coming to discuss book publishing cooperation with Datang Study.
In just one month, more than fifty new books were published.
Of course, there are some who make money, but there are also many who don't get a penny back.
Wang Erniu counted money every day, but he was too busy and was as happy as a fool.
…
As the promoter of the book publishing trend, Du He lived a leisurely life.
He joined the army as the chief minister of Jingzhao Prefecture and took charge of commercial taxation and public security work.
Qin Huaiyu and Dai Jinyun are both relatively capable. Everything operates according to the previous operating mode, and there is no need to bother Du He at all.
As for Zhang Da, who recorded affairs in the Jingzhao Mansion and joined the army, he seemed to have calmed down and did not pose any problems to Du He. Du He rarely paid attention to this guy. When the guy saw Du He without saying hello, Du He looked at him with his nostrils.
This day, afternoon.
Du He was sitting in the court and taking a nap, but Qin Huaiyu hurriedly walked in, looked around and saw no one around, and said to Du He: "Third brother, Zhang Da is going to arrange a group of people to join the city management brigade. Do you know about this?"
?"
When Du He heard this, he sneered in his heart.
I thought Zhang Da was gone.
I never thought that I was holding back my ultimate move.
Du He asked: "What was the reason for the fight?"
Qin Huaiyu said: "He said that he was a clerk in Jingzhao Mansion and joined the army. He was also your immediate boss, third brother. Naturally, he also had to take charge of the city management brigade. I'm afraid it would be difficult to refuse this matter. Otherwise, if Zhang Da spread the word, he would be
If someone knows this, they will think that you are authoritative. When the time comes, the government will impeach you. Without Prime Minister Du to speak for you in the government, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."
It was with these considerations in mind that he immediately came to discuss with Du He.
