Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan
Chapter 122 Interview, Free Porridge
“Of course I know that this storybook has spread all over the capital. The bookstore has sold out a few copies at a time, and it has been sold out several times. People are urging us to buy more every day.
Some people originally planned to buy the 2-liang Mandarin version, but when they saw that it was out of stock, they directly paid for the 5-liang version.
I didn’t plan to sell it so early, but there were too many people asking about it, and I couldn’t just let the money slip away.”
"Yeah, that's good. After I made the arrangements, I didn't bother with it anymore and got busy with other things. I guess it won't be too bad."
Speaking of this, the young prince was particularly excited, "Not only is it not bad, it is selling very well.
Because it is so famous and involves the dignitaries and noble ladies of the time, the attraction and curiosity are stretched to the extreme and everyone wants to see it in person.
After I drew and copied it, I gave a copy to each of my close friends. After they promoted it, it developed into a trend where almost all the sons of different families followed suit and were proud to own this storybook. "
This is definitely the celebrity effect.
"Many of those who had provided illustrations and copied books to our bookstore were hired at high prices to copy books and draw pictures. Even so, the supply was still insufficient to meet the demand. Even those who were good at handwriting in our family were copied into storybooks by the managers and accountants.
If this storybook wasn't so special, I would have wanted to let the maids at home who are good at writing and painting learn it as well."
Shen Ruyi gave a thumbs up and said, "Little Prince, you are so suitable for doing business.
Young Prince, you can ask your maids to copy the other two books. This book has been almost sold out, so it’s time to release the other two books.
Just let them help copy and give them some wages separately."
When the young prince heard this, he smiled and clapped his hands, "Smart, let's do it. I'll arrange it when I get back."
"Then won't we be able to make a lot of money this time?"
"Who says it's not true? I have sold more than 5 copies of the 600-liang picture book, and I am still painting.
Little Black Charcoal, we prepared too late and stocked too few books. It's such a pity that the precious money just flew away like that.
However, I have found a large number of people to copy books and draw pictures. This time, everyone who can be used is used. "
"Just let it be, little prince. It may be because it is always out of stock that it is more famous. Scarcity makes things valuable. If there are too many, they will be worthless."
"You have a point. I almost forgot an interesting thing. This morning, the old man Yang Huizhang was impeached by the censors. They said that he was not a good man and allowed his daughter to commit crimes. He helped his daughter to kill his wife and son, and also robbed other people's property. He deserves death."
"Then what?" Shen Ruyi asked.
In fact, she doesn’t care whether the government cares or not, because her revenge has already begun.
Even if the government takes care of this matter, it can only be icing on the cake at best.
"Then, of course, he refused to admit it. He said everything in his book was fake and nonsense. If you want to convict him, please provide evidence.
It seems that he just found out about the story this morning. The government certainly couldn't sentence him for this, they just said a few words and sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly."
Hearing this, Shen Ruyi knew that the time had come to fake her death.
It’s a pity that the old lady’s maid was not captured and kept under guard in advance. She was a living witness.
But then I thought, it doesn’t matter, just let it be. No matter what, Shen Huai’s family will die sooner or later.
The government can’t make the judgment, so I’ll do it myself and do whatever I want.
"Young Prince, let's both increase the copying efforts. All the scripts will be available for sale tomorrow afternoon. How is your play going? Where is the storyteller?"
"It has already been arranged. I have two big opera troupes in my house, just waiting for you to tell them when to start. I have found eight storytellers, and they have practiced thoroughly."
"Sure, young prince, you are awesome. How about this, here, normal families will host banquets during the New Year, so let's bring this play to the wealthy families and have it performed in the big houses.
As for storytellers, even if they are told in restaurants and teahouses at the same time, there are still not enough storytellers. We need to let the common people in teahouses of all sizes hear this.”
"Then I'll find some more training. As for performing in a rich and powerful family, I'll go home and discuss with my mother to see if we can hold a big banquet after the New Year to promote our play."
"If that's possible, that would be great. If your mansion does it, other mansions will definitely follow suit and ask for a higher entry fee."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Little Black Charcoal. I'll give you half of the profits when the time comes."
"You don't need to share the profits with me. If I don't handle the business, you don't need to share the money with me. You know, I have no shortage of money.
I did this purely for revenge and to vent my anger, not to make money. Even if you give me money, I won’t take it.”
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Little Black Charcoal." The young prince thought that Little Black Charcoal was so righteous, he had to think of a better return gift when he returned home.
"When our plays and storytellers appear on stage, they will also drive the sales of books, so our main task recently is to copy books, and copy books."
"Okay, little black charcoal."
"Our restaurant's cooks and waiters have already been trained. Let's choose an auspicious day to open it after the New Year. Has your manager decided?"
After getting the title deed, Shen Ruyi asked Manou to go over and take a look. She said the decoration was quite new and tasteful. They could just put some flowers there to decorate it and open for business.
"Sure. The manager has been appointed. I asked my mother to give me this experienced person. He is very capable and powerful."
"Then there's nothing to do. Let's go back to our own homes. The New Year is coming soon and there are a lot of things to do. Happy New Year in advance!"
"Happy New Year. Okay, I've been assigned by my mother to help distribute porridge and medicine in the past few days. She told me to exercise first so that I can do business better. I've been very busy recently."
Speaking of distributing porridge and medicine, Shen Ruyi paused and asked: "How much money does it cost for an average family to distribute porridge and medicine?"
"I don't know the exact amount, it seems to depend on the severity. Anyway, my family usually spends between 1000 and 8000 taels. The porridge is cheap, but the herbs are expensive."
So that's it. Shen Ruyi took out the silver note, counted out 1000 taels, and handed it to the young prince.
“This is a small gift from me. When you give out porridge, please add to it. Buy more food and medicine and distribute them to the people.
My status is not suitable for working alone, and don’t mention me to others. I don’t need to gain fame.”
The young prince looked at Little Black Charcoal with a puzzled look, his eyes rolling around for a few times, still not understanding what Little Black Charcoal was trying to achieve? What was the purpose of doing this?
Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
"No reason. Just think of it as, I've been caught in heavy rain before, and now that I have the ability, I want to help others and hold an umbrella to block the wind and rain."
The young prince didn't quite understand the feeling that Xiao Heitan was talking about, after all, he had never been caught in the rain.
However, he still felt the seriousness and care in Xiao Heitan's words. He was silent for a moment and put away the banknote.
"I understand. I will keep an eye on the person and make sure the money is spent in full."
"Okay, I believe you."
