Datang romantic little landlord

"What bet?" Wang Ziqiao and the others didn't understand what Li Wangyou meant.

Li Wangyou asked: "Aren't you going to bet that my book won't sell [-] copies in ten days? Then tell me what your bet is? If it sells, what will you do?"

"That's impossible!"

"Impossible, wouldn't it be easier for you to win? Why, don't you dare to bet with me?" Li Wangyou continued to speak provocatively.

"Why don't you dare to gamble? If you can sell [-] copies of this poor book in ten years, we...we will lose you ten thousand gold, so what?" Wang Ziqiao blurted out when Li Wangyou was provoked.

Li Wangyou shook his head: "Wanjin? Haha, can you guys get it out? Why don't you just bet on a thousand taels of gold, how about it? A son of a dignified family with five surnames, Qiwang, can you afford to bet a thousand taels of gold?"

A thousand taels of gold?That is six thousand copper coins, 600 million coins!

Wang Ziqiao and the four of them looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they were the first sons of a family, they really couldn't come up with such a large sum of money.

Just because the family has money doesn't mean they have money in their hands.

But having said that, how are they willing to let go, not to mention that in the eyes of Wang Ziqiao and the others, it is impossible for them to lose.

One ten days is ten days.

And selling [-] books, let alone ten days, even a year, they don't believe it.

After all, Datang is not a later generation, and all the bookstores in Chang'an Chengdong City may not be able to sell [-] volumes of books in a year.

Although Li Wangyou's novel looks strange, it is not their common book, but so what?

"Huxian man, don't talk nonsense, do you dare to make a written statement and make a bet?" Wang Ziqiao and others are sure that they will win and not lose, so naturally they have nothing to fear.

Li Wangyou smiled casually: "Haha, that's right, lest some people lose their bet and refuse to accept it. Master Sun, please bring us a pen and paper."

"This... Hu County man, do you really want to bet with them? Why don't you just let it go? Why bother to fight?" Fangzhu Sun hesitated for a moment, but he still tried to persuade him.

He didn't want Li Wangyou to lose such a large sum of money just to help him get ahead.Even Fangzhu Sun felt that it was absolutely impossible for Li Wangyou to win.

In ten days, [-] books were sold, which is unbelievable.

For signing such a bet, there is no possibility other than losing a thousand taels of gold.

Ma Zhou and Yan Liben were also taken aback by Li Wangyou's words. Although they thought "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was a good historical novel, it was impossible for them to sell [-] copies in one day. .

"Teacher..." Ma Zhou wanted to speak to persuade, but Li Wangyou stopped him with his hand.

"Sun Fangzhu, I only have a suggestion, you go get the pen and ink."

Seeing Li Wangyou's resolute attitude, Fangzhu Sun could only helplessly shake his head, and brought the pen and paper according to his instructions.

Li Wangyou swiped the paper, wrote down two bets, and signed them.

"Okay, it's your turn, let's make a bet." Li Wangyou put down his pen, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Wang Ziqiao and the others.

Wang Ziqiao and Cui Daogu were also a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Li Wangyou would actually agree to such an absurd bet. Could it be that he was really confident that he would sell [-] books within ten days?

How can this be?

In the eyes of Tang people, the content of this bet agreement is almost the same as that of later generations who have to paint the Great Wall within ten days, and there is no difference.

"Draw a bet! I don't believe he can win!" Prince Qiao snorted coldly, took a pen and wrote his name on the bet.

The three of Cui Daogu also looked at each other, nodded and signed the betting contract.

Li Wangyou chuckled, picked up a betting contract, dried the ink and put it away.

"That's good, the contract is written in black and white, and the outcome will be seen in ten days. Remember, prepare the gold, otherwise I will directly ask the saint to collect the gambling debt from your family for me."

Wang Ziqiao and the others just sneered: "Men from Hu County, you should prepare the gold yourself. After ten days, if you can't get the gold out, be careful that I will go to the Taiji Palace to file a lawsuit!"

After the few people finished speaking, they didn't stay any longer. After accepting the bet and saying hello, the crowd receded like a tide.

"Men from Hu County, what, what should I do? Old man... hey, it's all old men who got involved with the man from Hu County." Fangzhu Sun bowed to Li Wangyou in fear and fear.

Li Wangyou waved his hand: "It's okay, I have my own way."

270 Shameless Thoughts

When Li Wangyou made such a bet with Wang Ziqiao and others, Fangzhu Sun was the most frightened.

He was worried that Li Wangyou lost the bet and would blame him in the future; he was also worried that if Li Wangyou won, what would those aristocratic princes take their anger out on him, this bookshop?

For the old man, today's affairs are in a dilemma.

But no matter what, Fangzhu Sun still hopes that Li Wangyou can win the bet. After all, Li Wangyou made such an unfair bet with the aristocratic son to help him get ahead.

If Li Wangyou loses, Fangzhu Sun will definitely feel uneasy about his conscience.

Merchants in Datang were still very honest, and the term "profiteer" hadn't appeared yet.

In fact, profiteers evolved from no profit without business, and the original meaning is "no profit without business".

When doing business in ancient times, besides filling the bucket, rice merchants had to scoop up some more rice so that the rice in the bucket stood out.

However, due to the change of people's hearts, the later generations gradually became no profiteers and no businessmen, but it was also a kind of moral retrogression.

"Men from Hu County, if there is anything I can do, I will never refuse." Fangzhu Sun assured Li Wangyou, patted his chest.

Li Wangyou nodded and said with a smile: "There is really something that needs Fangzhu Sun's help."

"Men from Hu County, just give orders."

"Notify Hu County Bookstore, hurry up and start printing. There are only a thousand copies of the Three Kingdoms in this bookstore. If no books are printed, even if they are all sold out, I will lose."

Master Sun nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Men from Hu County, please don't worry, I will return to Hu County immediately, and arrange for the bookstore to start printing immediately. The work will not stop for twelve hours, and I guarantee that all [-] remaining books will be printed within five days." come out."

"That's good, I'm sorry for Mrs. Sun Fang." Li Wangyou thought for a while and continued.

"The second volume of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has also been transcribed. Tomorrow, I will have someone send it to the bookstore. Please, Master Sun, also let someone start engraving. After seven days, the second volume will be on the market and will still be printed. Thousands of volumes."

"I know." Fangzhu Sun and Li Wangyou are now also grasshoppers on the same rope, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

After leaving the bookstore, both Yan Liben and Ma Zhou looked worried.

"Master, how can you agree to the bet made by those rogues from the Wang family, Cui family, and Lu family? It is really impossible to sell [-] books in ten days, and then lose the bet. Does the teacher really want to pay them a thousand taels of gold?"

Li Wangyou didn't panic at all, and smiled at the two of them: "What are you afraid of, there is no possibility of losing this bet, do you think I am as stupid as those people surnamed Wang? Take a closer look at this bet, is it true?" Aren't they sure to lose?"

"What? How is this possible?" Ma Zhou and Yan Liben were taken aback when they heard the words, and quickly reached out to take the betting agreement signed by both parties, and read it carefully several times.

After reading the bet several times, the two of them were still at a loss as to what Li Wangyou meant: "Master, excuse me for being stupid, why didn't you see what's wrong with this bet?"
