Chapter 31 (2/2)

”Thank you, sir!” Fang Yun was overjoyed.

”How many copies of this book are first printed?” asked master Zhou.

”There are nearly one million people in Dayuan Prefecture alone. There are many more scholars here than in Jixian County. I plan to print 50000 copies at a time,” Fang Yun said.

”Pricing geometry?”

”After all, this book is not needed for the imperial examination. The price can't be too high. One book of fifty words is enough.” Fang Yun said.

”Yes, but can someone help you?”

”Of course, I opened a Sanwei bookstore and discussed it with the guys in the bookstore.” Fang Yun said.

Master Zhou said, ”you leave the manuscript here. I'll make a preface tonight. I'll write you a warrant before you leave. Tomorrow, you can go to Wenhui hall to get the publishing documents with the warrant and go directly to the printing workshop to get the books.”

Fang Yun's eyes fell on his manuscript and his heart was not good. He said, ”I need the manuscript to go to the printing workshop of the literary academy. I can't go empty handed tomorrow.”

With a wave of his hand, master Zhou put Fang Yun's novel manuscript and two advertising manuscripts away, ”solemnly” stuffed them into his clothes, looked at Fang Yun warily and said, ”I'll ask someone to deliver the manuscript to the printing workshop. You can pick up the book directly at that time.”

”Your Excellency, you are unkind. I wrote this manuscript for ten days and nights. I revised it many times and almost lost my head.” Fang Yun quickly complained.

Master Zhou said, ”don't mention it for the time being. You need to make a preface in the future. Remember to come to me.”

Fang Yun stared into master Zhou's eyes and said, ”county magistrate Cai gave me a holy page. It is said that the Sihai dragon family offered the highest price of 521!”

Master Zhou immediately showed his fierce light and showed his official authority.

Fang Yun has no fear.

The literary position of Shengyuan is the first and the official position is the second. Even the monarchs of the ten countries can't deprive a child of the literary position. Therefore, even if Fang Yun offends Zuo Xiang, who is in power, the scholars in Jixian County are still willing to make friends with him.

When scholars have literary positions, they have confidence. Many scholars who don't care about official positions are neither arrogant nor inferior in the face of power. Because of this, even if Zuo Xiang is strong, more than 80% of the people in the military and departments of literature still oppose him.

A moment later, master Zhou glared at Fang Yun and said, ”in the future, the books to be published by your Sanwei bookstore will be reviewed at the first time, and the results will be published within 12 hours. If you go to the printing workshop, you can give priority to printing.”

Fang Yun is still staring at master Zhou's book.

Master Zhou said reluctantly, ”I'll ask your excellency yuan Jun to let this book pass the review of the holy Academy at the first time, and then you can contact the three booksellers to sell books in other countries! I'll ask yuan Jun for instructions on your pillow in mind, so that it can become a necessary reading for all academies and literary academies in Jiangzhou. Only this one, your name will soon spread all over Jiangzhou, and a single book of pillow in mind will be published You can also sell nearly 10000 copies. ”

Fang Yun was very satisfied. He listed ”pillow in mind” as a necessary reading for a state, which was of great significance and more important than Zhenguo poetry, but his look remained the same.

Finally, master Zhou showed a reluctant look and said, ”I'll take the last step. I can't go back any more. I'm one of the editors and reviewers of Wen Bao in Jiangzhou. I can try my best to get some news published in Wen Bao. As long as you need it and meet the conditions of Wen Bao, I'll try my best to help you get on Wen Bao.”

Fang Yun immediately smiled. Unexpectedly, he gained so much. He knows the value of Wen Bao or the media better than everyone in the world. The media can even become the main force to subvert a country.

”Thank you, Mr. Zhou. The students are leaving.” Fang Yun thanked him.

With an unhappy face, master Zhou wrote a warrant to Fang Yun, and then sent Fang Yun away. But as soon as he looked back, the smile on master Zhou's face was like a flower. He carefully took out Fang Yun's manuscript and looked at it with intoxication.

”Good things, good things! What gold, silver, jewelry and curios can match the wisdom of a scholar! I'm satisfied just watching and touching. Yes, very good. I'll help him more in the future.”

The more he read the master Zhou's book, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but go straight to the house of Li Wenying, the king of Jiangzhou State Academy, with the manuscript of the book in the pillow.

Not long after, master Zhou suddenly shouted in pain and anger in Li's house.

”Li Wenying! How dare you rob me... The manuscript presented to me by Fang Yun! I want to see you! As a great scholar and a third grade officer, you rob me of a sixth grade master's book and a small personal property of raising people's literary positions. You're crazy!”

”How dare you force me to leave with war poems? I'll be killed in front of your house! Give me back the pillow! Otherwise I'll sue the emperor!”

”Despicable! Despicable!”

”Mr. Yuan Jun, Mr. Li, please do me a favor and return my pillow!”

”OK! OK! OK! I'm going to lock up the romance of the west chamber now, so that you won't see the manuscript all your life! I'll also repair the book and tell Cai he that I won't show you the manuscript of Ji Xian's early trip!”

”Li Wenying, old bastard, I'm not finished with you!”

Master Zhou scolded tired and complained in a low voice, ”is this retribution?” then he went home unhappily.

Fang Yun got good luck and went home happily. Before going to bed, he put on two sticks of incense and fell asleep safely.
