Luoyang City is still lively, and the most sensational one is probably the Stone Record.

Xueerguan has already started selling the last forty chapters of the Stone Book.

As Chen Kaizhi and Zhao Neng expected, the response was extremely enthusiastic and sales were rising steadily.

How could people miss such a big business opportunity? Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Neng gained another wave of reputation, making this Xueer Library faintly appear to be the No. 1 Literature Museum in Luoyang with just one book.

In addition, he seized the opportunity and began to expand rapidly.

In addition to starting to merge some academic museums, it is to expand the scale of printing workshops, and even... Zhao Neng has contacted booksellers from other places, and there are signs of promoting this stone story to various places.

In this era, although there is no difference between genuine and pirated versions, Chen Kaizhi is still quite capable.

Chen Kaizhi knew very well that what everyone recognized was his name Chen Kaizhi, so many booksellers began to try their best to print it privately, and then when they were selling it, Chen Kaizhi and Zhao Neng launched the first revised version together.

Revised...

I'll go.

The booksellers who spent a lot of money were stunned.

They also expect to drink some broth.

Unexpectedly, when the Tongwenguan was listed, the originally expected sales volume suddenly disappeared.

This is how people are. Since you want to read this book, of course you want to read the latest version. I think the old version must have many mistakes and was launched in a hurry, especially many book fans of the Stone Book now, who are looking forward to the new version.

Old version?

Who would like to watch it?

The sales model of Xueer Library has also begun to change. They adopted the model of booking reservations. Since they promised that the new version would be greatly improved, many people came here and everyone made reservations one after another. So no one cared about the books in the hands of other booksellers.

Suddenly, many literary museums were in tears.

It's a pit, this is definitely a pit.

You should know that the cost of printing books in this era is extremely high. Everyone tried their best to take this opportunity to get a share of the pie. They knew that the Stone Records were best-selling, so they were willing to spend a lot of money. But who would have expected that not many books came to buy them. If so many books were sold at a low price, they would definitely lose money. However, even if the original price was lowered, they might not be able to sell them.

After all, people who can afford books in this era do not care about the value of books.

For those who can’t afford to buy books, no matter how low the price is, they can’t afford it. If you can afford it, you are afraid that you will be illiterate and there is no room for small profits but quick turnover.

In the first revised version, Chen Kaizhi has already started working on it, especially the eighty chapters in the first chapter. Because it was only spoken in the Wenlou oral way, it was difficult to have many mistakes.

In addition, Chen Kaizhi also needs to add some factors from this era to this revision, so now he is almost devoted to it.

As for piracy...

He was not worried anymore.

If you have the kind of robbery, you will be able to print it again. Haven’t you seen it? This is just the first revised version. After Brother Kai’s first revised version comes out, you will steal it. Then after this first, there will be a second and third.

The reason why Chen Kaizhi added the first and second words before the revised version is to form a certain deterrence and shock some booksellers.

The reservation amount received by Xueer Library has exceeded tens of thousands. After all, there are countless scholars in Luoyang City, not to mention various aristocratic families and wealthy families. Now, this Stone Record has almost formed a huge craze. Even booksellers from nearby prefectures and counties have already made reservations in advance. These booksellers are determined to steal the prints, but they are afraid that a large amount of capital will be spent. Like the booksellers in Luoyang, they will lose all their money in the end. It is better to order books from Xueer Library and then sell them at high prices in various places.

Chen Kaizhi was very confident about this book. Although the public had already started private circulating, saying that this book had entered the Wenling Hall in Qufu, Chen Kaizhi was not worried at all.

Because he knew that no one could pick the wrong one.

This book was a work from the literary inquisition in the last lifetime. In that era when literary inquisition was prevalent, some people were arrested and killed just because they wrote the wrong year name. Some people even accidentally wrote a sentence "Qingfeng can't read, why do you read books randomly?" and immediately executed them. Even those involved, even those who only collected this book, were convicted one by one.

In that era, Chen Kaizhi believed that books that could withstand the test of literary inquisition could withstand the test of any era.

The first eighty chapters of this stone story were written by Cao Gong, and the last forty chapters, which are said to be written by Gao E.

In fact, Chen Kaizhi was quite regretful about Gao E's sequel, because he knew very well that Mr. Gao's last forty chapters really went against Cao Gong's original intention.

A period of Baoyu imperial examination was continued, and then the Jia family's "Muhuang Rong", "Yan Shize", "Lan Gui Qifang", and "Family Regaining the First" things came out.

But until now, Chen Kaizhi had to admire Mr. Gao. It was not until he was trapped here that he truly understood that Mr. Gao had put a lot of effort into making the Stone Record pass on to the world.

Chen Kaizhi could even be sure that if it weren't for his sequel, I'm afraid this stone story would have been lost long ago and would not be tolerated by the rulers at that time.

But Mr. Gao turned decay into magic, and made a turn of things back and forth, creating values ​​that match Confucianism and rulers for this story. It was clearly a complaint from Cao Gong, but it turned out to be a "mainstream" work that Emperor Laozi wanted to remain silent after reading it, Yan Shenggong was about to cry after reading it, and then countless scholars sang together.

This is also the main reason why he was not worried about this book from the beginning that people of this era were incompatible. Chen Kaizhi was not afraid of anyone's fault. If he wanted to investigate, then check it.

In his spare time to study and revision, Chen Kaizhi still persisted in visiting Li Wenbin's residence.

Today, I still go there, but the weather is not very good today. It’s drizzling and it’s wet everywhere.

Chen Kaizhi held an oil umbrella, with only a square scarf on his head, and was wearing a simple Confucian shirt. This is how people were. When they were in a low position, they needed to wear clothes. This was called "people rely on clothes and horses and saddles." But now they are gradually gaining fame and the water rises, so the clothes should not be too gorgeous. Instead, they should be low-key. This is called "the present is different from the past". A smart person must change himself according to his own situation, and he will not know if he causes trouble.

Although it is an ordinary dress and is not eye-catching, it has a unique temperament when worn on Chen Kaizhi's tall body.

He walked slowly, avoiding the puddles in the rain. It was evening and it was almost dark. When he arrived in front of Li's house, he knocked on the door, and was still the same doorman.

The concierge had already known Chen Kaizhi and said familiarly: "My master is not here."

Chen Kaizhi smiled at him with a pursed lips and held an oil umbrella in one hand, so he was inconvenient to salute, so he nodded to him and said, "I don't know when I will come back?"

"this……"

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Chen Kaizhi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. This is a famous post. I have to talk about it again in the past two days. Please tell Mr. Li Zi and ask him to meet the students before talk."

"Oh……"

At this time, someone sneered.

Chen Kaiyi raised his eyebrows, but saw a person flashing from the door. Who is it not Li Wenbin?

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "It turns out that Mr. Li is at home."

The concierge suddenly felt cramped.

Li Wenbin sneered, "You came to look for me again and again, why did you want to give up? Are you scared?"

Chen Kaizhi stared at him and saw his proud look, and said seriously: "The student just has one thing he wants to ask."

Li Wenbin sneered even more: "What do you want to ask?"

Chen Kaizhi thought for a while and said, "My book was reportedly sent to the Wenling Hall in Qufu. Is this matter the arrangement of Mr. Li Zi?"

Li Wenbin snorted coldly and said, "So what?"

This tone is like saying, so what if I hit you?

To the extreme.

Chen Kaizhi had no expression on his face and said lightly: "It seems that the students' guess is not wrong at all."

Li Wenbin said sarcastically: "You are scared and want to come and beg me?"

Chen Kaizhi shook his head calmly and said, "No, I just want to confirm it."

"Um?"

Chen Kaizhi said seriously: "I'm just afraid of wronging the good people."

"What do you mean?" Li Wenbin glared at Chen Kaizhi angrily for this sentence.

Chen Kaizhi was still standing in the rain with an umbrella, looking at Li Wenbin under the eaves, but asked irresponsible: "Have Mr. Li read the students' books?"

"No!" Mr. Li Zi said straightforwardly: "Your bad-hearted and stolen books are worth reading to me?"

Very loud.

Chen Kaizhi said: "I understand."

After saying that, Chen Kaizhi turned around silently, as if he wanted to leave, but his body slightly turned back, but he stopped again, as if he had remembered something, and then turned around, stared at Li Wenbin, and then said, "I, Chen, will ask you for advice on that day."

"What..." Li Wenbin didn't believe Chen Kaizhi's words.

The so-called consultation is quite challenging.

"What are you, what are your qualifications?"

Li Wenbin questioned sternly.

But Chen Kaizhi seemed to have no interest in having a quarrel with him. He was already holding an umbrella and slowly moving away.

Li Wenbin frowned, and as Chen Kaizhi held the umbrella gradually faded away, a hint of doubt rose in his heart.

What does this person mean?

On the day of talking, I wanted to provoke me. Are you unconvinced? Isn’t you convinced?

"Hmph, if you don't agree, you have to convince." Li Wenbin curled his lips, still having a lofty attitude. After murmured, he did not take this matter to heart.

In his opinion, Chen Kaizhi had already stepped into the coffin with one foot and no longer had to pay attention to it.
