Shopkeeper He then realized that the books were delivered a little late yesterday and were still in the warehouse and had not been put on display yet.

Shopkeeper He became alert and asked his waiter to take out the book, without forgetting to explain.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I got up too early this morning and haven't woken up yet. I'll have someone get it right away."

The scholars in the bookstore were a little anxious, but they could only wait.

Shopkeeper He remembered that not many books were delivered yesterday, so he quickly greeted the people in the room.

"Our bookstore is small, and we only managed to grab 20 books. Everyone is on a first-come, first-served basis."

The person waiting became anxious and quickly turned around to count the people in the room.

They arrived early, and there were about ten people waiting in the room, so they finally felt relieved.

He looked at the back door and saw that the waiter had not come yet. He looked outside the door and saw someone else coming in. He urged Manager He to send someone else to get it, fearing that it would be too late and they would not be able to get it.

Shopkeeper He now reacted and went to the warehouse in the backyard to get it himself.

When the books were brought over, they cost one tael of silver per book. The man didn't even blink, paid the money, and left the bookstore with the books.

There are few books now, and some families cannot afford to offend them. If they are asked to give up their books, they dare not refuse.

Shopkeeper He called his clerk over and said, "You guys look after the store. I'll be back soon. If the books are sold out, there will be more tomorrow."

"Yes, boss." The waiter agreed.

Shopkeeper He took his servant and drove to the dock. Yesterday he thought that twenty books could sell for a long time, but now it seems that they can't even last a morning.

When Manager He arrived at the dock, the warehouse was already surrounded by people.

Shopkeeper He looked at several familiar bookstore owners, lifted his robe and rushed over.

"I want a hundred books." Shopkeeper He raised his hand and shouted loudly from behind.

The person waiting to register in front turned around and saw Shopkeeper He, and quickly changed his words, "I want 200 copies."

Shopkeeper He grabbed Shopkeeper Gu, who was familiar with him, and said, "Old Gu, how come you guys are faster than me?"

Shopkeeper Gu saw that there were still many people in front of him, so he turned around and talked to Shopkeeper He.

"Why are you here too? I heard there aren't many books."

Before Manager Gu could finish his words, Manager He squeezed forward desperately, determined to grab the book and take it back.

When Manager Gu saw his actions, he was furious. He was kind enough to tell him that he wanted to compete with him for the position.

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Ye Xin quickly went to Ye Yan to borrow a few people to help maintain order.

Soon, a crowd of people lined up in an orderly manner, waiting to get the books.

Only one thousand copies were printed this time, and they were given to the private school in the village and Ye Chenyi and others in the capital, so there were only nine hundred copies on hand.

These nine hundred books were divided among several bookstores, and Ye Xin didn't have many left, so he had to keep enough for the books to be sold at the dock.

The big money comes from the docks, and there are only a few scholars in Wu'an City. If you sell a hundred copies in each prefecture, you can make a lot of money.

Ye Xin looked at the people queuing and could only limit the purchase to twenty books per bookstore.

The people in the queue felt a little regretful, but then they thought that not many people in the city could afford tutoring books.

With so many bookstores selling for one cent, twenty books would be enough. Ye Xin also said that the second batch of books would be printed soon.

Ye Qing asked Xiaoyan to talk to the bookstore and ask them to print a batch for them urgently as they needed the books urgently.

When Ye Chenyi and the others received the books, they were also shocked by their efficiency. It had only been a few days and the second book was already finished.

It happened to be a holiday, so the Zhao family asked a servant to invite them to be their guest.

The two of them went to Zhao's house with the tutorial book. Zhao's grandson Zhao Tian was about to take the scholar examination, so it was a good opportunity to show it to him.

Ye Chenyi and Ye Chenze were no strangers to the Zhao family, they had been there twice.

The Zhao family members were all very kind, especially Mr. Zhao, who answered many of their questions.

When they arrived at Zhao's house, they first went to pay their respects to the old lady.

"Good kids, you should rest more in the private school. You look thinner."

Ye Chenyi and Ye Chenze looked at the old lady's caring eyes and missed Li a little. Li loved them so much.

"Madam, we are not tired. We get up in the morning to exercise. We lose weight and our muscles become firmer." Ye Chenyi said obediently.

Old Madam Zhao felt even more satisfied when she saw the two men's solid figures.

The two chatted with the old lady and then went to the study in the front yard.

When they arrived, Master Zhao and Zhao Tian were waiting for them.

"Junior greets Master Zhao." The two men bowed.

"Why call me Master Zhao? Call me Grandpa Zhao." Master Zhao pretended to be angry.

The two of them were also very tactful and readily called out "Grandpa Zhao".

"Grandpa Zhao, this is the gift we brought for Zhao Tian." Ye Chenyi handed over the book.

Zhao Tian didn't expect that he had a gift, so he stretched his head to take a look.

"Brother Yi and Brother Ze, you are so polite. You even brought me gifts."

Mr. Zhao looked at the three words "tutorial book" on the cover and felt a little confused. He had never heard of this book. Could it be a unique piece?

Before Mr. Zhao could figure it out, Ye Chenyi explained to him that this was a book compiled by his brothers, and it was aimed at scholars who were going to take the examination to become a scholar.

Zhao Tian became interested and stood next to Master Zhao to read the contents.

The two of them didn't understand at first that the contents of so many books were reflected in this one book.

Ye Chenyi and Ye Chenze were not in a hurry either, they were used to this scene.

It happened once in the academy yesterday.

When he received the book, several classmates came over and were also stunned when they saw the book.

The two picked up Go and played a game together. It was estimated that they would have some reaction only after they finished this game.

Mr. Zhao was fine, he didn't need to take the imperial examination, he just thought it was interesting to compile books like this.

Zhao Tian is different. These are the books he has been reading recently.

He can get inspiration from every module and can also intuitively see his weaknesses, allowing him to check and fill in the gaps.

After the two men made their last move, Mr. Zhao handed the book to Zhao Tian and asked him to read it himself.

"Is this book also written by the same person who wrote the Book of Experience?" Mr. Zhao asked curiously.

"This book was written by five people, three of whom are the ones who wrote the Book of Experience." Ye Chenyi told what he knew.

Mr. Zhao looked at his grandson, then at the book, and was filled with curiosity about Kaoshan Village.

What kind of place is this that can cultivate so many talents?

When Zhao Tian heard them talking, he reluctantly put down the book in his hand.

"Brother Yi, will these gentlemen continue to write?"

Ye Chenyi thought about the contents of the letter and said, "Yes, their next plan is to compile a set of examination papers."

Mr. Zhao and Zhao Tian looked puzzled, "What is a set of papers?"

Ye Chenze answered them, "They compiled several sets of papers based on the current exam questions. Of course, the content inside is made by themselves, and it can't be compared with the real exam."

"What's the use of this? It won't be on the exam." Zhao Tian asked puzzledly.
