"Playing Song"/Chunxi Di Xiao

Chapter 9

This matter starts with Principal Hu Ai and Hu's grandson.

Principal Hu Ai, as mentioned earlier, was that after taking over the Imperial Academy, he acted decisively and used thunder to cure the bad habits of a group of officials' children.

Principal Hu has many grandchildren and they all teach them very well, but no matter how much they treat them, they always have bias towards their sons and grandchildren.

Generally speaking, the eldest son is valued and the youngest son is loved, and the most pitiful thing is between the middle and the middle. No one notices it when he is sad and sad.

Principal Hu has a grandson named Hu Shougong. Shougong is seven years old this year and is extremely smart, but he is a bit unlucky.

Principal Hu has three grandsons, and his father ranks second; his father has three sons, and he ranks second.

In other words, Shougong is the second child of the second child, and the fighter of the second child has not been valued since childhood!

This time Hu Shougong was sick, and his parents didn't notice it. Hu Shougong was heartbroken and lay on the bed sad about autumn and spring and wiped his tears secretly, thinking, "Or why I'll die of illness like this."

I don’t know if it was my emotions that affected my condition, but Hu Shougong’s illness became more and more serious. He hadn’t gotten out of bed for more than half a month. After the doctor came over, he was helpless and was so anxious that his parents and brothers were in a row.

Hu Shougong has a good friend, who is the second child of Professor Li Ziyi's family. This second child, Li Ziyi, inherited his father's square and upright national face (yes, Li Ziyi was Professor Li who was teaching for the first time Wang slipped into the Imperial College). After he met Wang, he knew that Wang had many ideas and secretly asked Wang to find a way to let Hu Shougong untie his knot.

After hearing this, Wang felt a little pitiful to Hu Shougong, but if your parents are distorted, you can't beat it up, right? You still have to come out by yourself!

He and Sima Yan spent two days together and made out a deck of original cards.

According to the king's idea, he prefers to play Three Kingdoms Kill, which is a card game he learned to play after participating in the World Olympics and other national team members, and it is quite meaningful to him.

Unfortunately, Sima Yan ruthlessly broke his thoughts: "You can first read the Three Kingdoms on my father's bookshelf to explain how you know so many characters and skills."

Wang can only put this idea aside for the time being. Anyway, with their current level, they cannot restore the beautiful cards of later generations. I should use the red bricks, plum blossoms, red hearts, and spades to get started with these children. At least they can get familiar with the numbers. After playing, they will definitely count one, two, three, four, five, six and seven!

Wang You’s private small treasury, and on the same day, he asked Wu to take him outside to pick up paper.

The papermaking industry has also developed these days. Wang Liulai had a walk around and found paper with a hardness that meets the requirements of him and Sima Yan.

With the paper in hand, Wang and Sima Yan worked hard for two days, which was considered to have to make up the cards. The children always had a high acceptance of new things, and the four of them happened to form a group to start playing cards.

Wang and Sima Yan were fighting and explaining the rules, and Hu Shougong and Li Laoer both quickly learned it.

As a result, after a while, another child came to see Hu Shougong. After watching for a while, he joined in with great enthusiasm. Soon, Hu Shougong, who was lying on the hospital bed, could not squeeze into the game! Hu Shougong had just learned it, and he was addicted to it. He was so anxious that he got off the ground and rushed over to take up his position.

Everyone was amazed: This card can cure diseases!

Sima Yan sat next to Wang and watched Wang Dazhan's skills, but he knew better than anyone else. People are prone to random thoughts when they are idle, especially children like Hu Shougong who have been ignored since childhood. As long as there is something that can divert his attention, his little heart disease will be gone.

As the sky turned dark, Wang put away the cards and sent Sima Yan to the point of praise: "My sister Ayan is very skilled in medical skills, and even cards can be used to cure diseases!"

Sima Yan said: "What's the matter? Someone used to cure local paralysis with a raised skirt."

She told Wang an example, saying that an old Chinese doctor treated a girl. She only looked at the other person's stiff hands that could not move, and then raised her pipe to lift her skirt. After this, the girl was disgraced and hurriedly reached out to hold the hem of the skirt. This way, her hands moved freely.

Wang Jing was shocked: "This is a taller pole, you can treat diseases like a gangster! Sister A Yan, do you accept an apprentice? I also want to learn some medical skills, especially this magical method of lifting a skirt to cure diseases!"

Sima Yan: “…”

Sima Yan glanced at him and said, "If you want to be beaten to death, try it." If this kind of non-stop method was not shocking enough, it would not have been circulated among medical practitioners from generation to generation.

Wang thought about Wang Anshi's black face and was afraid in a flash, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​Qi Wen's medical treatment. He sent Sima Yan to the doorstep and slipped home with his own cards.

Unexpectedly, the next day, a guest from Principal Hu's house came to visit. It was Hu Shougong's distant uncle Fang Hong, who was also a bookseller. He came to visit because he wanted to take a walk of Principal Hu's way.

Hu Shougong, the uncle from afar, was very good at being a human being. When he came, he didn't ask to go to the back door. Instead, he first took a large bag of food and medicinal materials to visit Hu Shougong, the nephew from afar.

Fang Hong and Mrs. Hu asked, and walked towards Hu Shougong's house. Before entering the door, Fang Hong had already heard the lively children inside. He listened carefully to what they were all about "to seven", "to nine", "to three tabs, eight belts, and four", and "to the flush".

Fang Hong was confused.

Wang was very terrified. Seeing that an outsider was coming, he happened to finish another round and stopped immediately. Although a group of children had played, it was impossible to tell them a complete rule and draw a whole deck.

Fang Hong swept to the cards on the low table, so curious that he wanted to scratch his head.

After Hu Shougong found out about Fang Hong's character and ability, the king quickly began to fool Fang Hong, preparing to trick Fang Hong onto the pirate ship.

After a few rounds of competition, Fang Hongxun became very interested in cards. When he listened to Wang Huada Ping talking about marketing techniques, his eyes lit up like light bulbs!

Wang strikes while the iron is hot and asks Fang Hong to list the contract book seriously. He and Sima Yan provide card templates and detailed gameplay. He is responsible for production and sales. As long as he and Sima Yan are paid a penny for each deck of cards sold.

Fang Hong naturally responded to it with such a small amount of money. Although this thing is easy to imitate, the market is very large. After teaching it, anyone can play it. Fang Hong is confident that he can sell it to every household.

Wang also gave Fang Hong some tips, such as different materials, different patterns, and different grades; selling them to ordinary people and to high-end players can naturally not be the same price.

When the market is completely opened, you can still sell "special commemorative versions" during festivals. Don't underestimate the consumption ability of your collection. As long as it arouses their interest, they will never mind spending more money - oftentimes, change the pattern and change the shell, and they will immediately whisper the money and shout to buy!

Wang and Sima Yan are still young, and Fang Hong can completely evade them and swallow all the profits by himself. But after hearing the strange tricks that Wang had picked up, Fang Hong completely stopped his own efforts.

These two dolls are so small and have such a good brain. Will they not be able to defy the will of the will when they grow up?

Offending two people who will definitely be very powerful in the future for a little money is completely incompatible with Fang Hong's principles of dealing with things.

You should know that it is very difficult to walk through the back door. Even if you want to get money, people may not accept you. If they are willing to take your money, you should thank God!

This brings the letter of deed that the king took home.

Wang Anshi finished reading the deed that Wang handed over, asked clearly the whole story, nodded and said, "This deed is very special. You can share the cards like this, and can you share the booklets like this?"

Wang immediately admired Wang Anshi's keenness.

The current method of paying for manuscripts is generally to buy out, which means that the bookseller gives you some money to print your manuscript. It has nothing to do with you after you take this money.

This method of getting the manuscript fee is very friendly to authors who can't sell a few books. After all, they can't get much money by dividing the book. But for authors who can sell books, this method of buying out will be a big loss. Even if they sell thousands or tens of thousands of books, they can only get a pitiful amount of manuscript fee.

According to the commission method he asked Fang Hong to write, it is actually a relatively primitive royalty algorithm. The number of books sold is as much as the percentage of the price given to the author.

Wang nodded and said, "If you make a contract, it will definitely be OK."

Wang Anshi thought something. Scholars disdained to talk about business, but if they wrote books, it would be quite brilliant. If his son succeeded in making a fuss, this model could be promoted in the royalties, so that scholars could have more money to help their families—especially some scholars who are quite famous but have poor lives.

Wang immediately remembered that Wang Anshi was a big shot, and he encouraged Wang Anshi: "Dad, we won't leave during the Chinese New Year anyway, so why not come and do something meaningful."

Wang Anshi glanced at him sideways.

Wang actively suggested: "Uncle Sima said that now they both take exams frequently in Imperial College and Imperial College. I think you and Uncle Sima can write a book "Five Years of Imperial Examinations and Three Years of Simulation" together!" He is still young after all, and he is a little tired after saying such a long sentence. He stopped after signing up for the title of the book.

Wang Anshi didn't understand why: "Five Years of Imperial Examination and Three Years of Simulation"?"

Wang said: "I'll count it for you. Sister Ayan said that Uncle Sima was a Jinshi in the first year of Baoyuan, and you were a Jinshi in the second year of Qingli, five years apart!" He slowly analyzed the meaning of the book title for Wang Anshi, "You and Uncle Sima have compiled and sorted out the real questions and examples of the recent rounds of imperial examinations. There is no need to choose other articles to solve the problem. You and Uncle Sima are both in the top ten, just use yours! This is the five years of imperial examinations! Three years of simulation, you and Uncle Sima have to go back to previous years' real questions and come up with several sets of simulation questions for the students to practice."

Wang Anshi felt that Wang's "Five Years of Imperial Examination and Three Years of Simulation" had a novel idea, but he didn't show any expression on his face: "Where did you have so many ideas?"

Wang and Wang Anshi have been fighting for a long time, so they have already figured out what Wang Anshi's temper is. How could they not know that Wang Anshi has already moved?

This is actually one of the countermeasures he and Sima Yan conspired to find some ways to continuously deepen the relationship between their fathers.

This is about publishing books and making money together. If you want to turn against each other in the future, you won’t be too absolute?

However, this matter is not urgent. If it is too urgent, they may see something strange.

When Wang saw that he was fine, he stopped and turned around: "Dad, let me tell you that the leeks planted by my sister Ayan and I have grown for a long time. We will be able to cut them in a few days to eat them!"

"Oh, I've really grown it?" Wang Anshi was surprised.
