Before the class was over, Jia Cong and a group of other boys all ran away, cheering.
Seeing this scene, Jia Lan, a young boy sitting alone in the corner, was stunned and couldn't figure out what was going on.
When I looked at the other classmates, they all looked as if they were not surprised, and I felt even more confused. Unfortunately, there was no one to ask questions about.
I had a good relationship with Third Uncle Huan before, but unfortunately Third Uncle Huan also ran away.
During the break after class, I listened carefully to my classmates muttering, ‘It’s the same thing again’, and I felt even more confused.
In fact, I really wanted to go out and join in the fun. After all, I was still a child, but my widowed mother Li Wan was very strict in her teachings. She only wanted to study and make progress, and she didn't dare to go beyond the boundaries.
How did he know that if he wanted to really learn something or make achievements in the imperial examination, the best way would be to join the Huiyou Publishing House.
On the other side, Jia Cong came to Huiyou Bookstore with a group of young people.
At this time, Huiyou Bookstore has developed into a large bookstore famous in the capital and even in the north. There is an endless stream of customers coming to buy books, and the business is quite good.
Huiyou Bookstore has been able to develop to its current level only by relying on a book called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the subsequent popular reviews of the Three Kingdoms.
Just like the book reviews of online novels, many readers are very fond of "This Chapter" and silly reviews. Even if it costs a lot of money, they regularly buy the latest issue of Three Kingdoms Review published by Huiyou Bookstore to have fun.
When Jia Cong showed up at Huiyou Bookstore, the shopkeeper immediately put down his work and came over to report on the achievements of the past six months.
To sum it up in one sentence: the situation is great!
"Isn't there any trouble coming?"
Jia Cong first affirmed the credit of everyone in the bookstore, and then asked slowly: "After looking through the recent issues of Three Kingdoms Review, the comments in them are so intense that I almost asked for a fight!"
At this point, he asked with a smile: "I don't believe it. These readers who participated in the comments are all good gentlemen, who adhere to the principle of 'a gentleman uses his words but never his hands'!"
It was really an eye-opener for him. He flipped through the recent issues of Three Kingdoms Review. Without his guidance, there were quite a few book reviews with various opinions that were fierce and even vicious. The anger in them almost spilled out of the page.
Especially when it comes to the fight between those who support the imperialists and those who support the aristocratic families, it’s just a matter of picking each other’s noses and yelling at the bastards.
"have!"
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and said hesitantly: "In the six months since the third young master left, almost three waves of people came to the door and wanted to buy Huiyou Bookstore, and the price was very high!"
With that said, he whispered the prices offered by the three companies.
hiss……
When Jia Cong heard that the price was over five thousand taels of silver, and that the three companies were all showing "inhumanity", Jia Cong couldn't help but pinch his teeth.
Now, we are in big trouble!
If you want to acquire Huiyou Bookstore, you must first find out the background of the bookstore.
Since the three waves of people still shouted out without hesitation that the minimum price was five thousand taels of silver and that it could still be discussed, it was obvious that they had figured out the situation of Huiyou Bookstore and did not care much about the name of Rongguo Mansion.
Although Jia Cong is not afraid of such a existence, it is not easy to get rid of it easily.
only……
Huiyou Bookstore is a voice platform created by him. With the stories and reviews of the Three Kingdoms, it has accumulated enough fame and influence that others can't even think about picking the fruit.
Different from the public opinion controlled by Shilin, most of which only target the scholar class and the official class; the journals of Huiyou Bookstore are suitable for all ages, and can influence both the ruling class, the citizen class and even the lower peasant and working class.
Under such circumstances, if you want him to give up Huiyou Bookstore, stop dreaming.
"Do you know who wants to buy the bookstore?"
His mind was spinning, and the expression on Jia Cong's face remained unchanged. He smiled and asked, "You might as well ask me to think about it!"
From the look of the shopkeeper, it was obvious that he had secretly received some benefits, and he didn't bother to point it out. As long as this guy didn't affect the normal operation of the bookstore, there was really no need to worry about anything else.
"The third young master is one of three famous wealthy businessmen in Xicheng!"
The shopkeeper lowered his eyebrows and answered carefully. Although Jia Cong did not show any dissatisfaction, he naturally had a certain power, so he did not dare to hide anything.
"Three wealthy businessmen in West City?"
Jia Cong was not surprised at all and sneered: "They don't do business honestly and they still want to participate in the bookstore business. Aren't they afraid of being sprayed to death by the scholars in the city?"
"Third Young Master, those three wealthy businessmen are all from Jiangnan. I heard that they are supported by high-ranking officials from Jiangnan!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "From what they mean, it seems that some officials from Jiangnan are very dissatisfied with some comments on the Three Kingdoms, so they want to buy bookstores..."
Then just promote one statement!
Jia Cong narrowed his eyes and said in his heart the unfinished words of the shopkeeper.
He casually flipped through the recent issues of Three Kingdoms Review and carefully glanced at the book reviews that supported the Theory of Family. The wordy and wordy words in the words, as well as some information inadvertently revealed, made him immediately guess the identity of the author.
I don’t know if these guys were angry because of the book review controversy, or if they saw the role of the journal published by the Friends Bookstore and took action?
It seems that the new book "The Richest Man in the World", which is almost completed in my hands, must be published and distributed as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the forces behind the three wealthy West City businessmen come forward in person, they will be really passive.
As soon as "The Richest Man in the World", which exposes the salt merchant's secrets, is released, and the content in it can be described as shocking and implicated, Huiyou Bookstore will definitely be at the forefront, and only those who are crazy will buy the bookstore at this time.
Especially when the supporters behind the three wealthy businessmen in Xicheng were all from Jiangnan, if the news were leaked, they would probably get burned.
Are you feeling guilty for purchasing Huiyou Bookstore in such a hurry?
Of course, once Jia Cong does this, he will really stir up a hornet's nest, and the risks he will need to bear will also be huge. Even Rongguo Mansion is not qualified to be a backer.
He must think clearly about these!
"Okay, don't worry about this, just run the bookstore well!"
He waved his hand and drove out the shopkeeper who had a hint of hope in his eyes. He held a small meeting with his younger brother as if nothing had happened and gave them pointers on their stagnant homework.
Time flew by, and soon the sun was setting and it was time to return. Before Jia Cong could tell the boys to pack up and leave, the shopkeeper hurried over and whispered in Jia Cong's ear: "Third Young Master, there is a distinguished guest coming!"
"
Then, he added: "I heard from the guards around the distinguished guest that it was the Crown Prince of Chu who came in person and said he wanted to see the third young master..."
