Chapter 104: One Hundred Thousand Volumes of Butterfly Lovers(1/2)

The efficacy of Mangniu ointment is indeed amazing.

It is indeed an ointment that even Uncle Zhang can boast about. It is useful for even eighth-grade martial artists, let alone Li Changan?

When he woke up in the morning, Li Changan subconsciously used the grammar method, and the pain on his body was relieved a lot, and only a few hideous wounds with deep bones were left.

Those small wounds have all scabbed off, but the skin color of the wounds is slightly different. After another two days, nothing will be visible.

He could only sleep for two hours at a time, which made Li Changan scream and suffer.

I was afraid that while I was sleeping, my palace would collapse and my body would collapse.

After staying up for a while, Li Changan couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up, washed up, and packed his luggage.

After a bumpy day on the road,

When Li Changan returned to the county town, he went into his study to write "Butterfly Lovers".

"The Butterfly Lovers" is an ancient Chinese legend with a very popular story.

Li Changan added some insignificant things about Bailu Academy to it.

The four major academies and the Imperial College have always been the holy places of literature and art that the literati of the Jin Dynasty dreamed of.

People across the country are also quite curious about this.

Although this "Butterfly Lovers" is about love affairs between men and women, it also has the gimmick of an academy and was carefully polished by Li Changan.

It contains more than 100,000 words and can be read in one go, making you laugh and cry.

It's much more interesting than the storybooks I read before.

Li Changan re-read the written "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and nodded with satisfaction.

March 17, early morning,

Cong Bookstore,

"No, what happened to my book?" Li Changan asked Song Anmin to disguise himself and went to the Cong Bookstore in the county town.

As a result, the bookstore manager flipped through the storybook, shook his head and refused, "Your book is still about love between men and women."

"Even Master Huang Qinshan's "Babble" is not good. Even if it sells well, it is all based on too much light."

The bookstore owner said, "I advise you to read story books like "Destroying Demons" and "Ask the Buddha". Everyone likes to read them."

It’s not that Li Changan can’t write, he was able to write so many top-level online articles in his previous life.

But the problem is that writing things just from memory is useless for writing.

The contents in the mutton-fat jade book must be understood in order to be useful.

"I would like to ask the shopkeeper to have a look again. I don't need any retouching fees for this storybook. I just hope that the Cong Bookstore can help print it." Li Changan said.

He wants to spread "Butterfly Lovers" in a short time, and the bookstore is the best channel.

As for silver and other things, it comes second.

It's a pity that if Taibai comes, Congwen Bureau will definitely consider it, but now he is the unknown Qinglian.

The other party won't even look at it.

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to accept your story books, it's just that the stories passed down from above are that love story books are weak now and they really can't be sold." The bookstore owner said earnestly,

"The bookstore must print at least 10,000 copies of each storybook. If I accept your book, I won't be able to recoup the cost by then, and I will have to make up for it myself. I really don't dare accept it."

Li Changan pondered for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper, how about this, how about I print at my own expense?"

"You..." The bookstore owner was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and quickly tried to persuade him, "Sir, it's not cost-effective for you to do this. Basically, all the money will be wasted."

Seeing that the bookstore owner was a little loose, Li Changan grabbed the bookstore owner's hand and said sincerely,

"Shopkeeper, please help me ask. I will print it at my own expense. I just hope that the bookstore can help sell it to the outside world."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly, "Let me ask first..."

Li Changan waited for a while in the backyard of the bookstore. The bookstore manager hurriedly came over and said, "The bookstore manager above said that if you print more, the price can be more reasonable."

"Ten thousand volumes, each volume will cost you fourteen cents. As for the story book, it can be set at twenty cents, which means you can earn six cents per volume."

"For fifty thousand volumes, you will be charged twelve cents for each volume... For one hundred thousand volumes, you will be charged ten cents for each volume... and after that, there will be two hundred thousand and five hundred thousand, which is too much."

Li Changan nodded, "Then please ask the shopkeeper to help me draft a deed, and I will print 100,000 copies at my own expense."

When the bookstore manager heard this number, he was immediately startled and his voice trembled a little, "Sir, why don't you be more cautious? One hundred thousand volumes is equivalent to one thousand taels of silver."

Li Changan nodded firmly. If it weren't for the people he had, he could only collect so much. The number of one hundred thousand copies was far from enough.

This is closely related to your own life. As long as you can push "Butterfly Lovers" out, it will be worth spending any amount of money!

Seeing that Li Changan was so determined, the bookstore owner had no choice but to draw up a deed.

The deed was meticulous and thorough, and he was quite friendly to Li Changan.

It means that the ownership of the script still belongs to Li Qinglian, and any printing must be approved by him before printing.

The deed was signed and stamped with a dragon-shaped pattern on a writing paper.

Li Changan paid a deposit of two hundred taels first.

"The storybook can be printed in three days and sent to bookstores everywhere. Today is March 17th, and the young master can come back on March 20th." The bookstore owner said to Li Changan, clasping his fists.

"Well, I'll bother the shopkeeper." Li Changan nodded and left.

The bookstore owner sighed and shook his head. In his opinion, this Young Master Li Qinglian was no different from someone who had gone insane.

You have to bite the bullet and do it recklessly. Do you really think that the story can be sold so easily?

That’s a whole thousand taels of silver. What can’t you do?

Cong Bookstore quickly received a self-financed printing order from Dongyue County.

The steward in charge of printing was happy and smiled at the person next to him, "Another young man who spends money to buy his reputation."

"Does this kind of person really think that money can buy everything?"

"Fame can't fool anyone."

The manager gave the order to his subordinates, "Go ahead, no matter how much you despise this kind of person, since others have already spent money, what needs to be done must still be done."

The bookstore handles so many books that a business of 100,000 copies cannot make a big splash.

Unless it's like "Babble", which sells millions of copies at once.

Otherwise it won't attract any attention at all.

On the way to the academy, Li Changan was still thinking about how to promote "Butterfly Lovers" as soon as possible.

Time is running out, there are only thirteen days left before the Literary Saint List is settled at the end of the month.

When "Butterfly Lovers" comes out, there are only ten days left.

At the very least, Qinglian Wen Palace must first accumulate some literary energy to be able to withstand the impact of Taibai Wen Palace's sudden increase in literary energy.

Otherwise, at the end of the month, your life will be on the line.

"Others are thinking about how to quickly accumulate literary spirit, but when it comes to me, they are trying to make it less literary at the end of the month."

Li Changan smiled bitterly.

Arriving at the academy, Li Changan immediately went to the seventh floor.

"Are there any new poems?" Xu Nian asked casually.

Li Changan saluted and said, "I gained nothing."

"What have you been doing these days?" Xu Nian looked at Li Changan and frowned, "The loss of literary energy is so serious."

Li Changan smiled bitterly and said, "Students practice grammar, so..."

"Nonsense!" Xu Nian shouted, "Ninth level is only the foundation building stage, any unnecessary loss of literary spirit must be avoided."

"Grammar is not something that should be practiced at the ninth level. At least you should not think about it until after the eighth level."

"Yes, students know..." Li Changan nodded.

Xu Nian couldn't help but seriously warned again, "Don't mess around at the ninth level."

"Go down."

"that……"

"What else?"

"The book "Bad Words" should have sold two million copies. The money agreed with Cong Bookstore needs the help of the deputy manager." Li Changan said with an embarrassed smile.

Xu Nian glanced at Li Changan strangely, "Are you short of money?"

"A little bit."

"Who would have thought that Taibai, who is worth a fortune, would still be short of money." Xu Nian couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I'll urge him later."

"Thank you, Deputy Manager." Li Changan was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted.

"You have no future, but you are so happy with so much money." Xu Nian waved his hand, "Go ahead."
