Huiyou Bookstore has received a lot of manuscripts recently, most of which are book reviews of the latest content of "The Richest Man in the World".
In order to find quality book reviews that have something to say from the dozens and hundreds of fresh book reviews, the bookstore editorial department had to temporarily recruit several new members.
In fact, it is quite good for the ethnic studies students in the book club to have a stable source of income.
The sudden increase in book reviews was mainly from listeners and readers who were quite dissatisfied with the behavior of Liu Dafu, a pig's trotter, in "The Richest Man in the World", so he wrote a book review and sent it to the bookstore in the hope of publishing it.
Huiyou Bookstore naturally lived up to the wishes of these interested listeners and readers, and soon published and distributed the selected book reviews, and gave appropriate remuneration to the authors.
Those who have the thought, leisure, and energy to write book reviews and send them to bookstores will naturally not be short of money. However, Jia Cong has long established the rules. Any bookstore that chooses to publish and distribute book reviews will not take advantage of the author in vain.
.
This move shows the bookstore's full respect for the book reviewer, and naturally received extremely good feedback.
Not to mention the unique business methods of Huiyou Bookstore, as the number of book reviews about "The Richest Man in the World" gradually increased, its popularity gradually increased.
The Xue family's Huibin House has a new chapter every night, while the other restaurants and teahouses lag behind, with only one or two chapters missing. The craze is likely to sweep across the capital.
As the number of chapters increases, the content becomes more substantial and engaging, the number of listeners increases, and the sales of book review booklets that specifically publish chapter content also increase.
The most important thing is that it has attracted more audiences, and naturally there is a lot of discussion about the plot of "The Richest Man in the World", especially the later plots are even more controversial.
As Pigfoot Liu Dafu's status in the gang has improved, he no longer participates in front-line smuggling of private salt, but is responsible for maintaining the smooth flow of the upstream network of private salt. There are more details about the smuggling of private salt, and there are many things that cannot be delved into.
As the number of pigs' feet increases, the controversy surrounding pig's feet becomes more and more intense.
Mainly because in the novel, this guy acts too cruelly and ruthlessly. He has no humanity at all when dealing with vulnerable groups in the private salt smuggling interest network. Everything is aligned with interests. Anyone who harms his interests will be punished no matter who he is.
If you try every possible means to kill them, even women and children will not be spared.
Such plot content naturally aroused more and more controversy. The pig's feet's behavior was very different from the moral values recognized by the public. The audience and readers felt very uncomfortable and needed a channel to vent their unhappiness.
The book review section of Huiyou Bookstore is just such an open platform, so it is not too surprising to receive many letters from book reviewers.
The controversy outside is not only about the pig's feet in the novel "The Richest Man in the World", but also about the detailed private salt smuggling process revealed in it, which makes people curious and frightened at the same time.
Some people say that the entire process of illegal salt sales in the novel is too detailed. What if some listeners and readers can't help but be curious and imitate it?
Of course, most people are disapproving of it, thinking that although the plot of illegal salt smuggling is described in detail in the novel, anyone who really imitates it according to the content of the novel would be foolish.
Not to mention that the imperial court has always severely cracked down on illegal salt smuggling. Anyone who does not do well will be sent to jail. The risk is definitely not small.
What's more, not everyone is qualified to participate in such a thing, and there are also thresholds for private salt smuggling.
No matter what, as the plot of the novel deepens, the popularity becomes higher and higher, and more and more listeners and readers participate in the discussion.
Fortunately, the content of the novel at this time did not involve the Yanzheng Yamen, so the discussion among the audience and readers increased, but it did not attract too much attention from some forces.
Of course, it may be that some forces don't care, or they don't take a mere novel seriously, and don't think that the private salt smuggling in the plot of the novel will affect their own interests.
It’s not that there are no book reviews in this area, it’s just that they have all been suppressed by the editors of Huiyou Bookstore. At best, the most important thing is to choose and publish book reviews that are less harsh, have a gentler tone, and are more objective. This is the important role of controlling the channels for speaking out.
The role of Huiyou Bookstore is not only that, it uses printed book reviews to guide the direction of debate among listeners and readers, and at the same time, it can also understand their specific views on the plot of the novel through enthusiastic book friends who write book reviews.
Especially when the first volume of the novel "The Richest Man in the World", "The Rise in the End", is about to end and is about to enter the second volume, "The Rich Businessman", whether it is Jia Cong who is hiding behind the scenes or the prince of Chu who is fully supporting, there are many
A little bit careful.
At this point in the plot of the novel, Liu Dafu, a pig-footed man, defeated the boss and second eldest son of the Salt Gang through conspiracy and tricks. After he took the position of gang leader, his methods of doing things changed a lot.
The main reason is that as the leader of the salt gang, he no longer has to deal with specific affairs, but has slowly begun to establish good relations with the middle and lower-level officials of the salt merchant yamen, paving the way for private salt smuggling and greater interests.
At this time, it is natural that some relatively explosive content will inevitably appear, which can be regarded as violating the bottom line of certain forces, and a bad move may lead to a backlash.
Therefore, during this period of time, Jia Cong's thoughts were mainly on the bookstore.
In order to avoid accidents, he even asked his younger brother Xue Pan to recruit nearly ten Xue family thugs as guards for the bookstore. No matter what, the bookstore could not have any problems.
Not only did Jia Cong pay more attention to Huiyou Bookstore, but the Crown Prince of Chu also almost regarded the bookstore as a stronghold, clocking in on time every day and basically not leaving until closing time.
Since he agreed to protect the novel "The Richest Man in the World", he obviously takes his promise to heart, especially since he has shown no intention of relaxing at all recently.
only……
The first volume of the novel, "Rising from the End of the Wealth", has ended, and the second volume, "The Rich Merchants," has started its storytelling, printing and sales. It caused a great shock among the audience and readers, but it never came to what they imagined.
Strong rebound.
The plot of the novel at this time is supposed to have violated the bottom line of certain forces, so there shouldn't be any movement at all.
"Brother Chunran, why don't you use the power of the palace to help find out what is going on?"
As the explosive content of the novel appeared one after another, there was no sign of the expected blow. Jia Cong felt very confused and simply asked Si Ding, the crown prince of Chu, to help inquire about the situation.
"Well, I'm also a little anxious waiting!"
In the reading room of Huiyou Bookstore, Si Ding nodded helplessly. It was not easy to live in such a suspicious life...
