Chapter 843: burning heart

"The ink and paper in the printing workshop... should be enough, right?" Mr.

Zhang muttered as he put down the incomplete "books" in his hands.

"Of course it's enough. We haven't opened it for so long, how could there be

no stock...Wait!" Zhang Yuan's eyes widened, and he suddenly came back to his

senses, "Uncle, what do you mean by asking this? Do you really want to? Print

this book?"

The shopkeeper nodded.

"But she didn't give money!" Zhang Yuan emphasized, "You also told me that

businessmen can't do business at a loss. How can bookstores help print them

without taking money? In the past, those scholars who came to print poetry

collections were also It's going to cost money!"

"We can make money with books."

"Buying a book?" Zhang Yuan said in disbelief, "Uncle Xingxing, aren't all the

books that can be sold in the past, such as the classics and essays, which

must be read in order to obtain a title? How many people are willing to pay

for a book of common sayings? ?"

"It's not what it used to be." Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head. He had lived

in the city for most of his life and was deeply touched by Jinxia's changes.

Even just two or three years ago, most people could not read words. Listening

to books and watching dramas was an activity only rich people would

participate in. But nowadays, a teenage child who is casually held on the road

can more or less recognize a few words, and even write a few words.

Shenjin Weekly's rising sales are proof of this.

Rather than waiting for word of mouth, buying a copy for yourself is the most

common choice for Jinxia people.

"Let's take a look first." But he didn't bother to say so much, and letting

his nephew feel it himself was worth a thousand words. What's more, Zhang Yuan

is also a young generation with basic education. If he is also attracted, it

will prove his inference.

…

After half an hour, Zhang Yuan put down the book with a red face.

Seeing the shopkeeper scrutinizing his eyes, he quickly coughed, "This book...

is indeed different."

"Do you think it can sell well too?"

"If it can be printed in large quantities." Zhang Yuan couldn't deny this, but

he still discouraged, "But you'd better not do that."

"How?" The shopkeeper frowned.

"Uncle, do you think about who is written in this book?"

"Xiji people, alchemists, and... prefects?"

"Don't you think it corresponds to the court?" Zhang Yuan showed a look of

fear, "Although Her Royal Highness has replaced the official yamen with the

affairs bureau, it is still the court in essence. And the official government

in this book It is very similar to Jinxia's affairs bureau, such as

prohibiting human trafficking, abolishing the contract of prostitution, etc...

And the most important point, the description of this prefect is too much like

the image of Lord Xia circulating outside. "

Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly woke up!

It turned out to be so, no wonder he always felt that the image of the prefect

seemed familiar!

As the head of the bureau and the minister most trusted by Her Royal Highness,

Xia Fan has two very different reputations within Shenzhou and outside

Shenzhou. The former has almost no objection, he is regarded as a role model

for all officials, and the object of praise from the common people, while the

latter is a bit strange... For example, he has powerful abilities, strong

desires, and also has an extraordinary interest in women's sex. Since more and

more foreigners have moved into Jinxia, such a statement has gradually

spread among the small talk in the streets. However, most locals regard it as

a joke, and no one really takes it to heart.

Shopkeeper Zhang lives in Jinxia City all the year round, so he only felt that

the prefect was familiar, but he didn't think of a deeper layer. Now, when he

was reminded by his nephew, he suddenly realized that this prefect is not the

image of Xia Fan in the outside world!

Especially in terms of his extraordinary ability and the fact that he is quite

favored by the above, he has almost the same background as Master Xia!

The shopkeeper could not help shrinking his neck.

Although Xia Fan's name is not mentioned anywhere in the book, just as Zhang

Yuan was worried, if the government is annoyed, who knows if they will find

other reasons to toss the bookstore?

But... just give up?

Shopkeeper Zhang was not reconciled.

Without a doubt, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If you can grasp it, Fengming Bookstore will be expected to soar into the sky,

instead of waiting to die as it is now.

After a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth, "You go to Jinxia

Bookstore."

This bookstore is a store jointly established by the Secretariat and two other

bookstores, and it is also the main publisher of Shenjin Weekly and official

letters.

"Uh, give this book to them?" Zhang Yuan touched his head. This is a safe way

to do it. After that, whether it is to be printed or destroyed, it is up to

the bureau to decide.

"No, you go and buy a copy of the latest Jinxia law."

"Oh... No, uncle, why did you buy that?" Zhang Yuan asked in surprise.

"I'm going to study it all night." The shopkeeper replied in a broken-hearted

tone, "This book will be printed by Fengming Bookstore. In order to deal with

possible risks, I have to prepare in advance."

"Cough cough—" Zhang Yuan almost choked, "You expect to use Jinxia law to

fight against the government?"

"At least in the publicity of the bureau, they emphasize that all affairs are

carried out in accordance with the law." Shopkeeper Zhang said solemnly,

"Although this group of people came from a wrong way, at least I have to admit

that the bureau promised The things that have been done have never been

violated so far.”

"What if they make an exception?" Zhang Yuan twitched the corners of his

mouth.

"Then let me be the first time!" The shopkeeper said word by word.

This bookstore is the family business of the Zhang family.

Even if the final outcome is demise, he hopes to be able to burst out the last

fire in the eyes of all the people.

For the first time, Zhang Yuan saw the shopkeeper showing such a solemn

expression.

Compared to the middle-aged man who was sighing in front of the counter, his

eyes now seemed to be back in his prime.

"Okay," Zhang Yuan said helplessly, "but this book doesn't even have a name,

and the plot has just begun. What are you going to do?"

"I've thought about this for a long time." The shopkeeper Zhang was confident,

"This person put the manuscript on the door of our store, which proves that

she also has expectations. If the book is very popular, she will definitely

send the follow-up parts. UU Read the book www.uukanshu.com As for the title

of the book... just take the first two characters of the book's name."

He paused, "This book is called "Flower Blossom"."

…

Three days later, the Doctors of Tea received a book they had never seen

before. The word "Flower Blossom" on the cover and the inscription of Fengming

Bookstore on the front page were unique. It was the first time they had

encountered the bookstore's initiative to donate books, but since there were

new stories, they had to read it.

Anyway, as long as the other party is willing to give money, what book is not

to be taught?

However, what Dr. Cha did not expect was that this book took only two days to

rule the large and small teahouses in Jinxia City. The regulars who came for

tea and chat, without exception, asked them to continue to tell the story of

the blossom, and those who put their books on the shelf were greeted with boos

from the guests even when they came to the stage.

But this is just the beginning.

Soon, some people were not satisfied with just listening to Dr. Tea's slow

talk, and they began to find the source of the book on their own.

Fengming Bookstore immediately entered the public eye.
