Su Ping helped the drunk Ge Weng onto the bed, turned around and came here.
Of the one thousand taels of silver notes, the servant took 600 taels and gave Muramasa 300 taels. In addition, after a trip to the north, his entire property was reduced to less than ten taels of silver.
Ten taels of silver, even including Ge Changming's bag, is far from enough to buy a house in Yangjing.
So Su Ping immediately thought of Wuya Bookstore.
According to Shen Yushu, "The Prince's Son-in-law" caused a sensation in Yangjing, and I think enough copies have been sold.
Even if the profit sharing is not enough, the worst thing is to advance some more...
Su Ping had just pushed the door open when a familiar voice sounded lazily.
"Your Majesty, the last volume of "The Young Master Enters the Marriage" has been sold out, and a new batch will not be printed until the day after tomorrow."
Shopkeeper Liu was lying on the counter, his eyelids were drooped, and he looked listless.
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep all night?"
Su Ping asked strangely.
"How to sleep? My little girl from Night Shop..."
Shopkeeper Liu was halfway through mumbling when he suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar and raised his head suddenly: "Everyone Su?!"
"Shopkeeper Liu is living a very happy life."
Su Ping walked over with a smile.
"Uh...hey, hey, he's not taking advantage of the Su family."
Shopkeeper Liu was so embarrassed that he quickly changed the subject, "It's been a long time since everyone Su was gone. I'm worried that you won't come back."
"I heard that story books are selling well these days?"
Su Ping asked.
Shopkeeper Liu understood immediately, took out the account book from the wooden shelf behind him, and was about to report the amount to Su Ping.
"Stop, stop, just tell me how much I can divide."
"There are still three thousand four hundred and sixty-three taels left."
Shopkeeper Liu didn't open the account book and directly reported an accurate figure.
"Huh? Why so many?"
Su Ping was really curious now.
The sales volume of storybooks gradually decreases. Generally, the sales volume is the best in the first month, and then decreases month by month.
In his opinion, it would be good to have one thousand taels, but how could it soar to more than 3,000 taels?
"Everyone Su."
Speaking of this, shopkeeper Liu's eyes flashed with gloom, "Do you know about Duke Dingguo?"
"Well, His Majesty has decreed that the whole country will observe mourning for seven days."
Su Ping nodded.
"Although we are not in the category of banquets and weddings, the owner and I both felt that we should slow down, so we stopped selling for seven days."
Shopkeeper Liu said with a solemn expression.
"As it should be."
Su Ping thought thoughtfully, and then became confused: "That's wrong...can you still sell so much after stopping for so long?"
"Uh...it's just because it was stopped selling that it sold so much."
Shopkeeper Liu was a little helpless, "Before the national mourning, the plot of the story happened to be about Mr. Ye becoming a sub-sage. Although everyone felt sad during the national mourning, but..."
But this sadness will slowly fade over time.
Su Ping understood very well and asked, "What then?"
"Then……"
On the first day after the national mourning, Wuya Bookstore was surrounded by a large number of calligraphers.
Shopkeeper Liu ensured the sales time of the final volume and finally got rid of these people, and then another group of people came.
This group of people were all the shopkeepers of Yangjing Bookstore, and on behalf of the powerful people behind them, they proposed to Wuya Bookstore the right to purchase the script.
Of course, with Wen Daoyuan here, these people would not dare to use coercion and inducement.
But among all the shopkeepers, there was one who was shopkeeper Liu's childhood friend and benefactor.
"That day, he almost knelt down for me at the door, so..."
After saying that, Shopkeeper Liu quickly added: "But don't worry, everyone Su, I only sold the last volume and nothing else."
"Why are you so anxious? I don't mean to blame you."
Su Ping smiled and said, "You have made me earn so much more. It's not too late for me to be grateful to you."
"real?"
Shopkeeper Liu's eyes lit up, and he immediately became proud: "You may not know that the last volume of Zi Xing sold three thousand taels."
"If my guess is correct, after this incident, the sales of the previous volumes have picked up a lot, right?"
"Well, the Su family is still very good. Even I, the shopkeeper, only found out when I was settling the accounts..."
"Okay, I have other things to do with you."
Su Ping waved his hand and said: "For these three thousand taels, please help me find a house in Yangjing that is safe enough."
"Safe? Then it has to be in the inner city."
Shopkeeper Liu thought for a while and said, "Three thousand taels, even for Ganlufang, is only enough to buy a second-entry courtyard..."
"It doesn't matter if it's smaller. There are only two of us at the moment, but it wouldn't be good if the place was bigger."
"That's good."
"After it is completed, the deed will be sent to Yunqi Inn to a man named Ge Changming."
"Ge Changming?"
Shopkeeper Liu wrote down this extremely rustic name.
"correct."
Su Ping suddenly looked serious and added: "Don't communicate with him, just give him the things. Do you understand?"
"Uh... I understand." Shopkeeper Liu nodded numbly.
"gone."
Su Ping waved his hand.
"Everyone Su, please wait!"
Shopkeeper Liu shouted quickly, "Everyone Su is back this time. Are you going out for a while?"
"You want to ask about the other two story books, right?"
Su Ping thought for a moment and said: "I will send you the follow-up manuscripts regularly, and you can decide when to go. In addition, the price can be lowered, and it is best to make it less painful for most people."
"Price reduction?"
Shopkeeper Liu was not worried about whether Su Ping could write so fast, but the price reduction gave him a hard time.
Originally, the low price of "The Young Master Enters the Marriage" had already aroused dissatisfaction from other bookstore owners, but Wen Daoyuan's face was not good enough to do so.
If the price of Newspeak books drops again... it will be a bit of a violation of the rules.
"The Newspeak edition and the entire volume can be sold, so that it won't cause public outrage."
Su Ping waved his hand, "As for how to sell it to ensure the interests of you and me, that's up to you."
After saying that, Su Ping walked out the door.
Wu Ya Shu Si was just passing by, the place he really wanted to go to was the Imperial College.
Through Shen Yushu's rough description, he inferred that something related to him must have happened.
Moreover, this happened as early as when the first vision appeared. But at that time, I just wanted to stay away from Yangjing and Daqing, so I didn't pay attention to it at all.
Now that he is back, he must try his best to add some capital for himself to settle down.
Even if it's just a fox pretending to be a tiger, that's fine.
As for what happened, Shen Yushu only had a partial understanding. If he really wanted to find out, he still had to find the two big guys, Wen Daoyuan and Yin Dongqiu.
After a while, Su Ping found Wen Daoyuan and Yin Dongqiu in the Classics Hall.
"Master, Duke Dongqiu."
Su Ping greeted him respectfully.
"Su Ping?"
Wen Daoyuan motioned Su Ping to sit down, "Where have you been and when did you come back?"
Regarding Su Ping, he couldn't get an answer from Emperor Yongtai, and he couldn't see Yuan Jiufeng himself, which made him puzzled until now.
"besides."
Yin Dongqiu, who had been unable to speak, suddenly said, "Didn't you faint after writing the poem at Duke Dingguo's mansion that day? Later, His Majesty rebuked Mrs. Shen Zhou and told her to calm down, otherwise she would be taken away.
She won her fifth grade imperial edict."
This is it!
Su Ping's eyes flashed.
It turns out that Shen Yushu came to seek peace afterwards, not because of his poetic talent, but because of His Majesty!
"It's just that His Majesty ordered the seal to be sealed for seven days that day. We didn't know what we could say and what we couldn't say, so we didn't tell you."
Wen Daoyuan added.
seal……
Su Ping suddenly thought that he decided to leave because he felt there was no hope of breaking the situation.
If he had known that there was an oral order reprimanding the Zhou family, he might not have left.
So this sealing order... is Emperor Yongtai leading him to go north?
Su Ping was thoughtful and saluted the two of them with cupped fists: "Student understands, thank you two."
When Su Ping left the classics hall, Yin Dongqiu and Wen Daoyuan stared at each other with big eyes.
After a while, Yin Dongqiu spoke first and asked doubtfully: "Why does Su Ping have the aura of heretics on his body?"
"I'm surprised too."
Wen Daoyuan said in a deep voice: "Not only that, his Confucianism, Taoism and Martial Arts have no external manifestations to this day... It's like they don't exist at all?"
When Su Ping came to take over, he didn't have the aura of Confucianism or Martial Arts, but since he had just been promoted at that time, this situation was understandable.
But now that so much time has passed, not only are there still no these two auras, but there is an unfamiliar Buddhist aura.
"Tell me, could it be an evil spirit?"
Yin Dongqiu asked guessing.
"What are you thinking about? If he is possessed by evil spirits, he won't even be able to enter Yangjing City."
Wen Daoyuan sneered, "What's more, Buddhism and evil are as powerful as water and fire."
"Then what is he?"
"I don't know... It's very possible that this is the reason why His Majesty and Yuan Jiufeng have been avoiding us, as if... they are guiding Su Ping on what to do."
"Uh...then we still accept disciples?"
"Didn't His Majesty say, let's wait a little longer? I guess something big is going to happen... No! I am recruiting a disciple, and I have a close relationship with you?"
"You Yuansheng have all said that you can't let others become your master."
"Is there such a saying?"
"Haha, you are really ignorant and incompetent! The Master said: Do your duty without giving in to the teacher."
