Lu Fang did not know Wang Sidong's thoughts, so he and Chen Youxi went directly to the county government office.
I found Zou Yi at the county government office and chatted for a few words. Then I went to find Lao Xiao and got the carriage. I planned to go to Tanzhou.
Chen Youxi pursed her lips and said, "I'd better go to the shop and wait for you to come back!"
Obviously, she didn't want to go to Tanzhou.
Lu Fang nodded, smiled and said: "Okay."
He didn't think it was Chen Youxi who still couldn't forget that guy Li Xiaocai. He still had some confidence.
It's just that Tanzhou is a sad place for Chen Youxi after all.
After driving Chen Youxi to BESTORE in a carriage, Lu Fang went to Tanzhou.
Until Dengke Bookstore.
Lu Fang handed Xu Zhen the remaining volumes of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, and he was naturally overjoyed.
With a smile on his face, he put the manuscript into the drawer, then dragged Lu Fang upstairs and said, "You write books so fast. I can't even publish books as fast as you can write them."
Speed!"
Lu Fang chuckled, "How about I write slower?"
"No, no, no, no."
Xu Zhen continued: "Now your book is selling very well in the market, not only because you write well, but also because you write fast, and everyone enjoys it. Let me tell you, as long as you keep writing at this speed
, In less than half a year, I guarantee that you will become the most famous novelist in Dayu. Even if you cannot surpass Xiaoyaosheng and others who have been immersed in the novel industry for many years, you will not be much worse than them. In three or two years, you will surpass them.
It’s no big deal.”
He spoke with spit flying around, his eyes filled with excitement.
Lü Fang became famous, and his Dengke Bookshop certainly followed suit. After all, Lü Fang’s books were printed from their Dengke Bookshop.
Just say that now, with the book "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" alone, Dengke Bookstore's reputation in the industry is far beyond what it was before.
In the past, although Dengke Bookstore was the leader among bookstores in Jingnan County, its influence was just that. Without popular books, who would come to him for cooperation?
In fact, there has never been a best-selling book in Jingnan County that has become popular in Dayu, which is also secretly laughed at by students from other places.
If we talk about the imperial examination, the students in Jingnan County can be regarded as the main force!
Now, Lu Fang has changed this situation. Shilang layman has become the representative novelist of Jingnan County.
Although Lu Fang has never shown his face, this pen name has become more and more popular in the novel industry in Dayu.
Arriving upstairs and just sitting down, Xu Zhen said to Lu Fang: "I've finished writing Liao Zhai, what do you plan to write next?"
While talking, he made tea for Lu Fang.
Lu Fang glanced sideways at him and chuckled.
This guy is really anxious!
Then he said: "The Children's Examination is coming soon, followed by the Provincial Examination. I'm afraid I don't have much energy to devote to the novel."
"Don't!"
Xu Zhen immediately became anxious, "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio is very popular among readers from all over the world. You have to strike while the iron is hot. So, I will publish the manuscripts that have not yet been published more slowly to give you enough time. However, next year
How about you try to give me the manuscript of the first volume of the new book before I take the exam?"
As he said this, he bowed his hand to Lu Fang and said, "Brother, I'll beg you."
He really wants to get rid of Lu Fang's east wind!
Lu Fang is completely his golden baby now.
Lu Fang didn't bother to tease him anymore and nodded lightly, "That's okay."
Hey!
Even if Xu Zhen is not anxious, he himself is anxious!
How can I stop publishing books?
Where can I get worship points myself?
"call……"
Xu Zhen breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said: "By the way, the money for the previous thirteen volumes of manuscripts has been prepared for you. I will give it to you later!"
Then he also gave Lu Fang a pass, "Guess how many there are."
Lu Fang thought for a moment and said, "Probably less than three thousand taels?"
In short, the royalties he received for the first three volumes were seven hundred taels. Now it is only thirteen volumes, so it should be about this amount.
Xu Zhen shook his head, made the sign of six and waved it at Lu Fang a few times, "Six thousand three hundred taels more."
"so much?"
Lu Fang was a little surprised.
This number was really beyond his imagination.
Although to him, more than six thousand taels is just the profit from a few bottles of ginseng capsules. But in fact, this royalties are already quite a lot.
The annual income of an average family in Ningyuan County is only about thirty taels.
Lu Fang has been able to join the ranks of high-income earners simply by relying on this royalties.
Xu Zhen grinned and said proudly: "Now your book is popular in half of Chongqing, haha. There will only be more in the future."
It seemed that he didn't know that Lu Fang made money from ginseng capsules, otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a thing.
More or less, does Lu Fang care?
"That's good."
Lu Fang said a little bit.
But even Xu Zhen could hear the perfunctoriness in his tone.
I can't help but be surprised. It seems that Mr. Lu is really not short of money, but I don't know where his money comes from.
At this time, Lu Fang took out a box from his arms, opened it, and said to Xu Zhen: "I would like to trouble you to deliver this to His Highness the Princess for me."
In the box, there is a starjewelry 18k gold lapis lazuli moonstone pendant clavicle chain with diamonds.
The exchange value is up to nearly two million jewelry.
This is definitely the best choice as a gift for women.
In fact, this thing is useless to Lu Fang.
It can't be recycled into worship points, and you can't take it with you, so what's the use of keeping it?
I just feel a little ashamed of Chen Youxi.
After all, up to now, he had only given Chen Youxi stockings and nothing else.
But I will definitely get it in the future. Who wants Liang Siqi to celebrate his birthday first? Moreover, Lu Liang really needs Liang Siqi’s help now.
"This is?"
Diamonds reflect brilliant light.
The entire necklace is filled with pearlescent light.
Even Xu Zhen, a big man, couldn't help but be a little stunned.
You don't have to think about it, you know it's a treasure.
Pure and noble.
He can be considered a person who has seen the world, but he has never seen such gorgeous jewelry. This is completely different from the existing jewelry in Dayu.
"A necklace purchased from an overseas merchant."
Lu Fang said: "I heard that the princess just celebrated her birthday a few days ago. I want you to help me pass this necklace to her."
Xu Zhen was a little stunned, "Why don't you give it to the princess yourself?"
Lu Fang smiled bitterly, "I can't look for the princess every time I come back to Tanzhou, right?"
Xu Zhen was stunned and nodded slightly, "That's true."
He is still not sure what the relationship between Lu Fang and Liang Siqi is, but if Lu Fang wants to look for Liang Siqi every time he comes to Tanzhou, then he is not sure.
Even if there is nothing between two people, it will turn into something if it reaches the ears of others.
And given Liang Siqi's identity, this is undoubtedly a taboo.
The princess is not something anyone can get involved with.
"Crack!"
Xu Zhen closed the box and said, "When I deliver the book to the princess, I will take your gift with me."
He really didn't dare to look at it anymore.
This thing is really easy to make people greedy for ink!
