Pingshan Villa.

Bi Sheng sat opposite Zhao Zhen, with a respectful expression.

Zhao Zhen took a sip of tea and asked, "Bi Sheng, Pingshan Bookstore, how many copies of "Jin Ping Mei" have been printed?"

Bi Sheng replied: "Your Highness, the craftsmen have printed fifty thousand copies day and night!"

Fifty thousand volumes?

Still not enough!

Bianjing City now has a population of more than one million, and it is the best place. Apart from children and illiterate people, it is conservatively estimated that there are 200,000 people who read and read.

How can one hundred thousand volumes be enough!

Zhao Zhen is full of confidence in this book.

He asked again: "There are eight major bookstores in Bianjing City. How much is their book price compared to our Pingshan Bookstore?"

Bi Sheng replied seriously: "Your Highness, I have already collected it. Among the eight major bookstores, books like "Jin Ping Mei" are more than 100 texts, and the quality is far less than ours!"

Zhao Zhen has a rough understanding that the cost of such a book is about seventy cents according to the original printing method.

Pingshan Bookstore uses movable type printing, and the cost is only thirty cents.

He pondered for a while and said, "This afternoon, I will launch "Jin Ping Mei" and the price will be set at 70 sqm!"

Bi Sheng hurriedly got up, agreed and hurried out.

As soon as Bi Sheng left, Li Di appeared in front of Zhao Zhen.

I saw Li Di holding a hoe with an anxious look on his face. Zhao Zhen asked curiously: "Sir, have something to do?"

Li Di sat down, sighed and said, "Your Highness, I have finally figured it out after thinking about it. I think it is better not to sell the "Jin Ping Mei"?"

“Why?”

Li Di blushed and said, "Your Highness, I'm not to hide it. A few days ago, I brought a copy of "Jin Ping Mei" back to my house. I was accidentally seen by my son Li Jianzhi. After a quick look, I couldn't extricate myself. I learned a lot of new tricks. I went back to the backyard to hang out with my daughter-in-law every day... My son, Kawai, has been honest since childhood. I asked the old woman in the house to teach him step by step... Now, I've been ruined by this book!"

"puff……"

Zhao Zhen had just drank a sip of tea in his mouth and sprayed it all on Li Di's face.

Li Di's eldest son has a slight influence. He is known for his loyalty and honesty. Now, he has learned bad things?

Sin!

Sin!

Li Di said with a firm look, "Your Highness, I am worried that when this book is released, the world will be in an uproar! It is better to destroy it and not leave it to the world! Your Highness is the crown prince. He has been well-read in poetry and books since he was a child and learned the ways of saints. How could he not understand this principle..."

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen knew that Li Di was determined to persuade him to take back the book.

He smiled, made a cup of tea for Li Di, and said, "Sir, what's right, why not say it in detail..."

Li Dina was a great scholar of the times, and his preaching skills were not something he could do. As soon as he opened his mouth, he talked endlessly for an hour.

Finally, Li Di looked at Zhao Zhen expectantly: "I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"

Zhao Zhen nodded: "I think you are right, but it's too late..."

"What's too late!"

"If I expected it was right, "Jin Ping Mei" has been on sale everywhere in Bian Jing City!"

"ah……"

Li Di was shocked and turned around and ran out.

...

Bianjing City.

Afternoon.

Since the popularity of all kinds of popsicles and ice creams, even on the hot afternoons, many people have taken to the streets, with an ice cream on the left hand and a popsicle on the right hand, licking it on the left and taking a bite on the right, as if the scorching heat no longer exists.

A few young men from Jiangnan swayed their folding fans with their hands, shaking them one step and three times, carefully examining the surrounding environment.

Several people walked through a newly opened bookstore.

I saw a picture of more than one person standing at the door of the bookstore.

In the picture, a woman was not holding a twig, but turned her back to everyone, and smiled with a charming look.

The eyes of several people were attracted by them and they couldn't walk.

A fat man wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said in surprise: "Look, this bookstore is called Pingshan Bookstore, and it sells "Jin Ping Mei"!"

"What is "Jin Ping Plum"? Is it gold, a bottle, or a plum blossom?"

"Why not borrow it first!"

"rational!"

Several people unconsciously walked into the book club.

In the huge bookstore, there was only one book on the bookshelf.

Pick up a book and open it gently.

The poem says: The body of the 28-year-old man is as crisp as a slim body, and he uses a sword to kill the foolish man. Although he does not see the head fall, he secretly teaches him that his bone marrow is dry...

Um?

Several people who read books couldn't help but be attracted by it.

There are so many wonderful books, but the years are not long enough!

Several people raised their heads again, but saw that the entire book club was surrounded by people inside and outside, with three layers inside and three layers outside, all of them.

The fat man pointed to the empty bookshelf and shouted: "Look, the books have been bought..."

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman came over, looked at the books in the hands of several scholars, and said, "Several people, can you bear the pain of giving up? I am willing to buy it for a price of 100 ci per book..."

Several people looked at each other and shouted in unison: "No...shopkeeper, hurry up, check out!"

...

The book "Jin Ping Mei" has become completely popular.

One afternoon, the first batch of books from Pingshan Bookstore, totaling 10,000 copies, were sold out.

The price of this book was first hyped up to 100 essays, and then 500 essays. Some people even wanted to pay a tael of silver to buy it, but it was still hard to find a book.

"Jin Ping Mei" completely became popular in the entire Bian Jing City!

In just half a day, even those who have never seen the cover of this book have known that there is such a magical book!

...

dusk.

Li Di stood on the street where people were coming and going.

From time to time, people picked up a copy of "Jin Ping Mei" and swayed across the market. There were many followers next to them, and everyone looked at the man enviously.

Li Di shouted: "You can't read it, you can't read it. This book will ruin people... Everyone handed me the book I bought, and I destroyed it."

He was very sad!

Although the author of this book is Didi Xiaoxiaosheng, it is not his Li Di's name.

But the fact is that he wrote it one by one.

If this book really ruins the world, how can he gain a foothold in the future!

"Take the book to me quickly, I will destroy them..."

Li Di shouted in a hoarse voice.

Suddenly, someone rushed over, glared at Li Di, and cursed: "Old man, you are shameless... You can't buy a book, but you dare to lie to me and wait for the book... I'll leave it to you to destroy it. Who knows if you will hide at home to read it at night? I'll bah..."

"shameless……"

"Bow him to death!"

"Don't respect for the old man!"

The crowd was infuriated.

Some even rolled up their sleeves.

When Li Di saw this, he quickly fled with a hoe.

...

Pingshan Villa.

lobby.

Bi Sheng was so excited that he was at a loss.

He kept giggling, "Your Highness, you sold 10,000 copies today, 700 taels of silver... I have never seen so much silver before!"

Wang Shu's eyes lit up, "What, 700 taels of silver? Where, hand it over quickly. The East Palace needs to be repaired, Pingshan Villa needs to be expanded, and money is spent everywhere..."

Suddenly, a figure walked in at the door.

It's Li Di.

Li Di glared at Wang Shu, "Uncle Wang Hui, you are so shameless. This is the money for selling "Jin Ping Mei". Do you dare to get rid of this kind of money?"
Chapter completed!
