Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan

Let’s move on to the next book, which is titled “Confessions.” It’s a very unconventional name.

The more I watched, the more it didn't make sense. If my daughter was like the heroine in the article, I really don't know whether I should slap her and blame her for being blind, or feel sorry for her for having such a hard life after getting married.

In the end, he even lost his life, and died such a tragic death.

Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking about? What daughter? I don’t even know when I’ll get married, and what about a daughter? You’re just overthinking.

She should regret it, but it wasn't her fault. Her only mistake was mistaking the wolf for her lover.

It's still that bastard man's fault. He's so bad and vicious.

He quickly finished flipping through the book and felt extremely heavy-hearted. It was the first time he realized how terrible it was to marry the wrong person.

It was also the first time I knew that life is so difficult for people at the bottom of society when facing powerful forces.

Wow, the writing is good, the story is so touching.

Then I opened the last book and was about to read it.

"Little Prince, you can read this book after you take it home. Let me talk about the previous two books first. How about them? If I let you read them, will they arouse your interest in reading?

But I have made it clear that no matter how good it looks, I will find a way to sell it, even if I have to lose money. "

When the young prince heard this, he wondered why he had to go home to read it again. It wasn’t that thick and he would finish it in no time.

I'm quite good at reading storybooks myself.

He said vaguely, "I think it's OK. It's very readable and will definitely be popular. The writing style is also novel and will definitely be attractive."

Then he continued reading.

After reading for a while, I felt something was not right, so I turned the book over and saw the title: "A Few Romantic Affair That Rich Ladies Have to Tell".

I told you, there's something obviously wrong with what's written.

This is not a storybook, it is clearly a short story with a sexual content. No wonder Xiao Heitan asked me to read it after I get home.

I didn't expect you to be such a little black charcoal. You read this book earlier than me.

He looked at Little Black Charcoal with a teasing look, "That's good, Little Black Charcoal, you've read this so early, you're better than me."

After hearing this, Shen Ruyi rolled her eyes and said, "What are you talking about? Either go home and watch it, or just shut up and watch it quietly. You talk too much nonsense."

The young prince made a gesture to cover his mouth and continued to watch. His face became redder and redder, and he even secretly glanced at the three people opposite him.

Little Black Charcoal sat there with an expressionless face.

The remaining two people opened their eyes wide and looked at this side with curiosity.

It seems that the two girls have not read this content.

I glanced at it a few more times, but felt too embarrassed to continue reading, so I stopped and closed the book.

When his mind returned to normal, the young prince discovered that these three books were talking about the same thing, but they described it from three different angles.

Why does this plot sound so familiar? Where have I heard it before?

Hey, I remembered, "Little Black Charcoal, is this a true story? Is it about the family of the official in the Ministry of Personnel?"

“It’s true.”

"Are you planning to ruin their reputation? Do you have a grudge against Shen Huai, Yang Huizhang and the others?"

"I guess so. Shen Huai's first wife was kind to me."

When the young prince heard this, he immediately became excited, and looked eager to try and make something happen. "I understand. We must be able to do it. Let's do it."

"Then start copying a lot, and turn it into a play, have it performed in restaurants and teahouses, and have storytellers tell the story."

The young prince responded positively, "Sure, I'll take care of the last two. This story is so well written, it will definitely be well received and a big hit once it's staged."

"What's the reasonable price for a storybook like this? Are there any requirements for the paper?" Shen Ruyi asked.

"It should be divided into at least two grades. Good quality ones are sold to rich people, and ordinary quality ones are sold to poor people."

"Okay. So how much is a reasonable price for an expensive book like this? And how much is a cheap one?"

"The more expensive ones usually range from more than 1 liang to more than 5 liang. The ones more than 5 liang usually have illustrations. Let's sell this for 2 liang, which is neither too high nor too low.

A cheap book costs only 500-800 yuan. It's up to you.

We can also add illustrations to that book, and then sell it for 5 taels of silver."

After listening to this, Shen Ruyi thought for a while, "Okay. Then let's divide it into three grades. The cheapest one will be sold for 500 wen, the better ones will be sold for 2 liang, and the ones with illustrations will be sold for 5 liang. Use the cheapest books to attract people and make money from the expensive books.

But the only one suitable for illustration is the last one. Can you find someone who is good at drawing this kind of picture? I don’t have anyone who can draw it at the moment.”

"Yes, there must be. How can we run a bookstore without an illustrator?"

"Then I'll leave this one to you. Does your bookstore have the right paper? Send two different qualities.

I'll find someone to copy the price of 500 Wen and 2 Liang. Then we can calculate the total cost. We'll split the net profit in half. What do you think?"

"Sure, let's do it."

"Let's keep this a secret for now. Once we have copied enough copies of the storybooks, we will publicize it. You don't have to worry about the problem of inventory backlog. If this happens, I will bear the consequences."

"Little Black Charcoal, be optimistic. This situation is impossible to happen. You have to trust my judgment."

"I'm talking about just in case. I'm worried that you won't be able to explain to the manager of your bookstore when you go back."

"What's so hard about this? I can still do this. When do you plan to publicize it?"

“It will start after the Chinese New Year.”

"After you finish copying the first batch, give some away for free to your friends and ask them to help promote it. At that time, the portion given away will be counted as our operating costs."

"Okay, you know more about this than me, I'll listen to you."

"Little Black Charcoal, what do the dots and circles in the book mean?"

"This is a punctuation mark, mainly used to indicate pauses, tone and intonation in speech.

Another major function is to facilitate reading. You don’t have to divide the text into sentences or paragraphs. You can just read directly, which saves you trouble.”

After hearing this, the young prince opened the book and took a closer look. It was indeed the case. The various dots and circles were exactly the pause points of the sentences. It really saved trouble. No wonder he could read so fast.

"Little Black Charcoal, where did this thing you mentioned come from? It's quite interesting!"

"I came across a book by chance, and it was marked like this. I read and studied it many times, and after I understood the meaning and tone, I summarized it."

"There is something here. It looks very practical. It's a good thing." The young prince nodded repeatedly to show his approval.

Afterwards, Shen Ruyi explained what these symbols meant respectively, and the young prince listened.
