Chapter Fifty-two: The Showman

As he talked with his elders these days, Xu Hanliang learned a lot about the imperial examination and official career.

The second elder obviously wanted to mention it in front of Xu Hanliang and wanted to beat him up.

Xu Han knew it in his conscience, but he did not pierce the window paper.

Juren can be appointed officials, but only if they fail the examination repeatedly.

However, compared to methods such as buying an official position and being recommended, being born in the imperial examination is naturally regarded as the right path, and will be less criticized by people.

Although Xu Hanliang secretly asked a lot about the water transportation case, these two people were very mature and could change the topic accurately every time, leaving Xu Hanliang speechless.

In addition, every time Xu Hanliang came to the streets of Changshu and met those jugglers, he would give them a few more gigs.

I was thinking about whether I would meet any green forest heroes of this era, so that I could make some friends.

After all, such a way of spreading money can usually gain a reputation of being generous and generous in this era.

In the literary circles of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Xu Hanliang's reputation has now been established.

Anyway, Xu Hanliang often hears from others that he is the hope of the future literary world in both Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and the hope of becoming the number one scholar in both Zhejiang and Zhejiang in the future.

Of course, in addition to such a good reputation, Xu Hanliang can also hear some good voices of his own.

For example, a certain student heard an examiner say that the reason why Xu Hanliang passed the exam was actually because he gained the appreciation of a certain adult, so he operated in secret.

However, most people actually dismiss such a statement.

Just by relying on one poem and one word written by Xu Hanliang, he was able to gain the admiration of countless literati.

It was another early morning, and Xu Hanliang got up early.

After this period of training, he is already strong enough.

News also came from Hangzhou. A total of five thousand copies of the first issue of Journey to the West were printed.

The price of each volume is one hundred taels of silver. If all can be sold, excluding the cost of printing, at least 300 taels of silver can be earned.

That's what Xu Hanliang thought, but Boss Hao from Shengshi Bookstore didn't think that way.

In Boss Hao's opinion, the name Xu Hanliang is indeed valuable.

Especially after I graduated from high school, my money doubled.

However, in his opinion, it is really difficult for such a strange book to be sold in bulk to drive sales.

Five thousand copies of this first batch were printed. If it didn't sell out, it would really be a loss.

Xu Hanliang comforted him and told him not to worry, after all, he could handle the money aspect himself.

So regarding the sales of "Journey to the West", it is estimated that we will get a result in these two days.

After thinking of these things, Xu Hanliang couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

After completing the exercise, Xu Hanliang did not plan to stay here any longer. Instead, he planned to return home to have a meal before heading to the academy.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be several vendors in the distance, practicing this pose there.

Most buskers basically only come out at night, but these people seem to be a little different.

He came here to perform so early in the morning, but there was no one there, let alone any income.

However, Xu Hanliang didn't think too much. After walking over, he casually threw a few large coins on the ground.

The performers are a man and a woman. The man has a strong figure and does not look ordinary.

The woman, on the other hand, has a slim figure and a smart outfit. Judging from her appearance, she is also an iconic beauty.

After Xu Hanliang walked over, he put the big money in his hand into the gongs and drums in front of them, and then prepared to leave.

"Sir, you haven't seen us perform yet."

Just when Xu Hanliang was about to leave, the woman suddenly called out to Xu Hanliang.

Xu Hanliang, who was about to leave, actually had a smile on his face when he heard this.

"It's not easy to see you, so I'll leave the money to you. I'm not interested in performing arts or not. Actually, I'm not very interested."

Xu Hanliang waved his hand casually and continued.

When the woman heard this, she became a little anxious: "Sir, you may have misunderstood us. We rely on our martial arts to make a living. If we accept this big money and don't pay, wouldn't we be like beggars?"

Xu Hanliang, who originally wanted to leave, felt right after hearing these words.

After seeing Xu Hanliang stop, a smile appeared on their faces.

At this time, the man also took out a long gun and began to wave it around.

It has to be said that this man seems to be really skilled in martial arts, and he is very good at playing with a spear.

And looking at this appearance, coupled with the tough temperament on his body, he is most likely a person who has served in the army.

"Good martial arts."

After performing a set of marksmanship, Xu Hanliang also did not pity his own applause.

After the two people saw Xu Hanliang's cheers, they also showed a shy smile on their faces.

"It seems that the young hero should have been a soldier in the past. He is indeed extraordinary."

After reading it, Xu Hanliang started chatting with the man.

"My father is a soldier in the army. Although I have never joined the army, this martial arts skill does come from my father."

The man was only a young man, and he was a little shy when he spoke.

"No wonder it's like this. Heroes come from young."

Xu Hanliang nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "I wonder why you two came out to perform?"

Upon hearing this, the man and woman opposite looked at each other, seeming a little embarrassed.

Xu Hanliang said quickly: "If there is any difficulty, there is no need to say it. I just said it casually."

The man then spoke: "Actually, to be honest with you, sir, because I aspire to join the army, I have some conflicts with my father at home, so I took my maid with me to perform in the arena and get to know the heroes in the arena."

When he said this, the man thought Xu Hanliang would have some disdain in his eyes.

After all, Xu Hanliang is a scholar at first glance. This scholar has always had a prejudice against warriors.

"Anyone who is just butchers a dog, and a loser is usually a scholar. With such ambitions, he may not be able to become a great person in the future to stabilize the country."

Xu Hanliang also spoke when he saw people talking about people and when seeing ghosts talking about ghosts.

But as soon as he said these words, the eyes of the man opposite him lit up.

Although this sentence sounds like a common saying, it is particularly pleasing to the ears of men.

Although it was pleasing to the ears, he couldn't show it and sighed softly: "Well, it would be great if my father thought so. He said that a good man is a good man when he is called by the name outside Donghua Gate. Although he is a military official, he was also from the imperial examination.
