The two of them hit it off immediately. It was a fool to have money but not make money. Li Chengqian agreed immediately.

Li Chengqian was responsible for compiling the manuscript of Journey to the West, while Li You, Li Yan, Li Zhi and others were responsible for the follow-up work of the book printing, operation, sales and other books.

As for which bookstore to choose to cooperate with, Li Chengqian will not have to worry about this matter.

As princes, they just need to send the subordinates in the palace to run away and immediately arrange this matter properly.

Li Chengqian was a practical man. That night, he ordered his maid Hongluan to grind ink and began to copy the manuscript of Journey to the West.

The writing process of handwriting is a bit troublesome. It would be great if you had a pen, which would save a lot of effort.

Li Chengqian kept copying until the second half of the night, and his whole arms were sore and swollen. However, looking at the manuscript, it was less than one-third, let alone the first volume. If he worked hard until dawn, he might have to copy the first volume silently.

After throwing the brush in his hand, Li Chengqian took a sip of tea to refresh himself.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and ran out of the study. After a while, Li Chengqian, who was rushing, couldn't help but see a few more goose feathers appearing in his hand.

Quill pen! This is the only time that Li Chengqian could think of assuming that he could speed up his handwriting.

Whatever your heart thinks, you can achieve it.

"Well, the speed is really more than twice as fast."

This is the flexibility of a time traveler's mind, which is not comparable to ordinary people of this era.

The ironwork needs to be hot, Li Chengqian quickly made a concerted effort and wrote quickly...

...

After being vigorously promoted by the Ministry of Rites of the Court, the Three Character Classics went from the families of officials to the families of poor and lower-middle peasants. Every household had a book of the Three Character Classics for free when having children of appropriate age at home.

During these three years of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's Shenwu founded a prosperous era, he really achieved that every household could read.

In such a peaceful and prosperous era, every household has a lot of surplus food, and no longer has to worry about fighting for years and not eating hungry.

The Three Character Classics was promoted by the Ministry of Rites, and the process went smoothly and was also very popular among the people.

The three characters are fields, which are catchy and suitable for both young and old. Even the elderly who are illiterate, they can casually say "At the beginning of a person, they are good in nature, have similar natures, and have different habits."

Only when you truly achieve the best of everything, you can read a lot, and the sound of reading is loud in the Tang Dynasty.

The people of the Tang Dynasty also knew that the three-character classics emerged like a dark horse, and this book was written by the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian's status in the minds of the people has reached another level.

It can be said that during this period, Li Chengqian was very popular, and things about this prince were circulating in almost the streets and alleys.

While the Three Character Classic was popularly promoted, a bookstore on Chang'an Street suddenly printed about 5,000 books, a rubbing of the novel called Journey to the West.

Once sold, the entire Chang'an City became popular immediately.

This is a rubbing of novels that combines gods, immortals, demons, ghosts, monsters, and spirits. It is a brand new vernacular annotation, not the classical Chinese text of Zhihuzheye.

From an old man in his eighties or nineties to a three-year-old child, he can understand anything that is literate.

Such a beautiful and refined novel style is something they have never been exposed to before, and it is really fresh.

Especially the content and stories in the book are almost the same as the Three Character Classic that the imperial court has just promoted, and are catchy and easy to understand.

As soon as the rubbing of this Journey to the West novel was released, within a few hours, the entire bookstore was purchased, and none of them were left.

Some book friends who had not yet had time to buy novels almost surrounded the entire bookstore and shouted loudly that they would ask the bookstore owner to print it quickly.

The vast crowd of people was making trouble. Such a scene was rare to see the last time in a century.

In the back hall.

Princes such as Li You, Li Yan, Li Zhi, etc., were all happy and crazy when they watched the money paid.

I really didn't expect that making money was so easy? It was simply effortless.

The price of a book is 6 taels of silver. In addition to craftsmen, materials, etc., they also made a net profit of 3.5 taels.

Five-five-part.

The prince drew 10% of the money, and the remaining two brothers divided into three parts, and the rest was the profit of the bookstore owner. No matter how they settled, they still made a profit or not.

Fang Zhiyuan is the owner of the bookstore. He cooperates with the royal princes. With this supreme honor, even if he works in vain, Fang Zhiyuan can still wake up secretly when he falls asleep.

What's more, it's not just a waste of work, and I'll get dividends.

The boss, the shopkeeper, and the guys, they are very diligent in running errands.

After all, in this Chang'an City, there are no less than a hundred bookshops of all sizes, but their Pinya Bookstore has been favored by several of their princes.

The bookstore outside was constantly making noise, and the owner couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly ran to the back hall and reported.

Fang Zhiyuan respectfully prayed to Li You and the princes: "Your Highness, the bookshops outside have always been noisy now. Those who have not purchased books are unwilling to leave. What should we do now?"

Li You was filled with joy as he watched the money earned. After hearing what the boss said, he waved his hand and said heroically: "Since that's the case, then add the prints as soon as possible."

Fang Zhiyuan's eyes immediately shone: "Okay, how many copies are printed here?"

"Let's get 1,000 volumes." Li Yan said a count.

"I think 1,000 volumes are a bit short. How about printing 5,000 volumes?" Li Zhi spoke with a lion.

"Ah...another 5,000 copies printed? This..."

Fang Zhiyuan turned his gaze to Li You: "Fifth Prince, what do you mean?"

Li You looked at him and thought for a while, then he frowned: "Okay, listen to Lao Jiu, continue to print 5,000 copies. Even if you stay, don't worry. Chang'an City is so big, and scholars in Luoyang, as well as those literati such as Hebei, Hedong, Guannei, Shannan, Huainan, Jiangnan and other literati. Once they hear the wind, they will definitely come to buy them."

The scholars of this era not only read the Four Books and Five Classics, but also wrote eight-legged essays to facilitate the examination in the future, but also were very obsessed with rubbings of some novels.

However, there are too few rubbings in this era. Whenever there are literary works recorded in rubbings on the market, the bookstore can earn money from these literati.

It really fulfills the saying that everything is inferior to reading.

After receiving the instructions, the boss kept calling the guys to rush to work.

"Fifth Brother, you have earned so much money in less than half a day. If the prince knows, hehe, he doesn't know how happy he should be." Xiao Liuzi's eyes kept popping up.

Li You nodded: "Yes, I never thought that the Journey to the West compiled by the prince would be so popular, which was beyond my expectations."

Li Zhi, Xiao Jiuer, looked thoughtful, and his black eyes kept flashing. I don’t know what his little head was thinking about.
Chapter completed!
