6. Wei Tuotian delivers books

Seeing the nodding of the music officer, Cui Ning felt dazed and staggered back a few steps, "Jings handsome, Jis handsome!" The generals around hurriedly supported him. Cui Ning was both heartbroken and annoyed. He was just a pearl in his hand, and his son-in-law even gave her a hand without paying homage to her father-in-law.

"Don't blame the commander of the rituals. There is a letter from the young lady here, and there is right and wrong in it." The official of the musician worshipped Yun Shao's belief.

Cui Ning unveiled the letter in the middle hall, and in which Yun Shao explained his husband's difficulties in detail, "It turned out that he married A Chengli in order to reject Princess Shang Tang'an. Husband, you can't blame our dear son-in-law." Liu, who was next to him, also looked at him and hurriedly comforted her husband after seeing it.

Cui Ning nodded, huh twice, his tone was obviously loose, and he said to his wife, "In the letter, A Ni mentioned that this senior high school is really pitiful. After marriage, they lived in a place like Huaizhenfang. They immediately asked the Beijing Zhongzhong to transfer 200 guan to the Zuoyuan to serve as A Ni's dowry, and Yuetang also gave them to live - how can my son-in-law and daughter be looked down upon?"

Liu smiled, pointed to A Ni's handwriting at the end of the letter, and said, "Husband, you have to read all the letters."

Cui Ning looked there this time and it turned out that Yun Shao clearly wrote, "There is joy in the cottage, but if you don't think of the moon hall, don't worry about your parents."

"Mmmmm!" Seeing his daughter's words, Cui Ning became irritable again, grabbed the bearded man, and said to Liu with heartache: "There is fun in the cottage, and the cottage is fun in the cottage... This little beast still doesn't know how arrogant he is to me, A Ni!"

Liu continued to relax his husband. Isn’t his daughter’s love the best? Then the couple whispered and began to care about the future of their son-in-law. Of course, Liu was happy with his son-in-law. Not only did he start a high school career, but he also started as the official Jixianyuan, "It’s much better than your husband."

"What's the point? The ninth-rank green-shirt official, and he also refused to surrender the princess. I know the person who sits in Zichen Hall and is not very broad-minded. In the future, the senior high school students will suffer grievances in the capital and implicate my son A Ni. In this way, I asked the Jinzouyuan to prepare gifts and hire the senior high school students to the Xikawa shogunate. I would pay him a salary of dozens of cents a month, which is no thousands or tens of times stronger than the Jixianyuan in Beijing?"

"Hey, husband. The son-in-law has the idea of ​​a son-in-law, so don't force him..."

"How can this be called a forced act? Now A Ni is married, and her son-in-law is a trumpet. Now there are really no scholars in the Nishikawa shogunate. The son-in-law is still a regular and authorized by the imperial edict. I sent him to the Shangdu to the shogunate as a counselor. As long as the son-in-law and A Ni return to Nishikawa, isn't my world? The son-in-law only has the second and third exams (the Tang Dynasty officials have to be assessed every year, and the normal term of office of the sixth rank official is the fourth exam, which means that four years later, the relocation or dismissal of the rank of the shogunate is much faster), and I immediately gave him the position of a cd county magistrate."

After hearing her husband's words, Liu nodded frequently: The Jiannan Xichuan area guarded by Cui Ning was located in CD City. Because Xuanzong had taken refuge here in the past, it was upgraded to a prefecture during the Suzong era, and it was under ten counties, including two of the second Chi counties, namely CD County and Huayang County. Cui Ning promised to promote his son-in-law to the county magistrate of the second Chi county. It can be said that it was a manifestation of the expansion of power of the shogunate in the middle Tang Dynasty. Not only could he recruit talents in the name of "Pi Shu", but he could also "replace promotion" to allow those who were granted to be promoted quickly.

After the couple had decided, Cui Ning immediately called the famous bookkeeper and dictated the "Biography of the Book", and then asked his wife, "What do you think is the appropriate amount of money (gifts for hiring Gao Yue to the shogunate)?"

"You have to give your son-in-law a boost to your appearance, and count the 200 guan of money that was originally intended to be a dowry for A Ni, and a total of 400 guan."

Four hundred stalemates, or 400,000 stale money, is about two years of salary for a county magistrate.

So after declaring the book, Cui Ning shouted, "Wei Tuotian!"

A Kunlun slave with dark skin and strong figure immediately ran to the central hall to wait for his appointment. This Kunlun slave was purchased by Cui Ning from a shopping mall in Guangzhou for a large sum of money. He was very good at walking and ran faster than a horse. Cui Ning handed him the book of Pi and the post station ticket to him. "You are the best at walking. You will run for me for a long distance to the Shangdu Jinzuyuan of Xijing, and ask the officials there to do as quickly as the book of Pi, and do not delay."

"emmmmm!" Wei Tuotian put away the book, and then rushed out of the Jiedu Office like lightning. He was like a wind under his feet, stirring up thick smoke. After about an hour, he ran to Wanli Bridge in Huayang County, followed Xindu and Hanzhou Avenue, and headed straight towards Chang'an City. When he was tired, he would have a meal at the big office or small restaurant along the way, sleep for a while, and then run again after waking up. There was only one target, that was Xichuan Jinzouyuan in Chang'an City.

Just as Wei Tuotian ran, Gao Yue and Yun Shao's wife were still enjoying the "joy of the grass cottage" these days. In early summer, the rain came, and the green leaves and banana trees outside the grass cottage window were made loudly. The emperor ordered the court to be terminated, and Jixianyuan did not have to pay attention to the matter. During the leisure afternoon, the young couple had no other entertainment activities except for all kinds of affection.

The scroll of "The Flower Camp and the Ten Thousand Squares" is horizontally on the desk of the desk under the window. Yun Shao closed his eyes beautifully, stopped the fierce moaning of his hair, tilted his hair, and exhaled like orchids. She sat on the table, held by Gao Yue, her legs wrapped around his waist, and the Luo shirt was gently untied, and she was still panting and shaking because of the great bliss just now. Gao Yue's feet were as loose as mud, and his head was buried in Yun Shao's soft breasts. Yun Shao gently stroked his husband's hair, listening to the sound of the drizzle outside the window.

After nightfall, Gao Yue sat in front of the desk of Xingyun Buyu, and finished writing the first chapter of the new work with the pen name "Shaoling Xiaoxiaosheng". Yun Shao held his chin with one hand and acted as the first reader. In addition, he kept shaking the fan at his husband with one hand to help him remove the heat and repel mosquitoes.

A few days later, Gao Yue carried a book with his own proud works. After Yu Jixian Academy saw that it was rare that he did not have the obligation to be straightforward there, but went straight to Shengyefang and prepared to hand it over to Wu Cailuan.

Gao Yue has completely raised the matter of printing and selling his works: Xiao Yi sent 300 guan of pens, and in addition to removing the betrothal gifts to Yun Shao's family, he also saved more than 100 guan, so he gave all of them to Wu Cailuan, and asked him and the Jingshengs who wrote scriptures to buy a large amount of carvings from the Dabi family in the East City, and moved them to the north of the Release Pond in the East City, the business residence that Xiao Yi gave to him - as long as he carved his works, he would print them directly, and Gao Yue decided to be his "book shop" and sell them directly.

Because Gao Yue was a household in the imperial examination, the business under his name did not have to pay taxes, which is a very big advantage.

At this time, the bookstores in the Tang Dynasty had already developed very well. As the saying goes, from the cities of the five capitals to the towns of ten rooms, there were bookstores. However, at this time, the bookstores mainly sold collections of essays, and also copied and engraved. The copyright awareness of literati was not very developed. For example, whenever Han Yu finished writing poems, he would ask his servant named Ama to copy them with eight cents of books, and then send them to the bookstore to sell them, and the money they bought was exchanged for wine. Li Fengji of the late Tang Dynasty, because his salary was not high, he directly copied Bai Juyi's poems to sell them. The sales volume was pretty good, and he sold seventeen books in a day in twenty books.
