Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 52
Master Chengyu left in a hurry.
There was absolutely no chance for Chen Luo to curry up a favor.
She just said “the person you should thank is this poor monk”, and then left coldly, leaving Chen Luo completely messed up in the cold wind.
I am a Taoist worshiper, a virtuous teacher!
Can’t you give me around ten bucks?
Who should I thank?
What happened to that Quli Marquis? Why is he targeting me?
And who is the little prince you speak of?
Chen Luo has a lot of questions at the moment.
Is the water in Zhongjing so deep?
Senior Wei, I can’t take it anymore.
…
Not in the mood to continue shopping, Chen Luo recruited a carriage and had himself carried back to the Earl’s Mansion. Although the earl’s mansion is free, it is still a gold swallowing beast, and it is still his own home.
The carriage was long, and Chen Luo was sitting in the carriage. He always felt a lot of thoughts in his head, but he couldn’t sort out an idea, and he was a little irritable. Suddenly, he saw a square piece of paper in the corner of the carriage, and the yellowed paper was quite familiar. Chen Luo picked up the paper and glanced at it, and his eyes widened instantly.
”Shocking! The Yuhua Pavilion’s Lady Qiyu is getting her first customer, she’s going to be a daughter of night money!”
”Heavenly Scent Building Lady A Chan told me personally: the story I had to tell with the former minister of the Ministry of Industry!”
”One Dragon Casino is open, sincerely recruiting thugs, and those with skills are preferred.”
”Man Ting Xiang Restaurant opened today, at No. 39, Ruyi Square, Qinglong Street, 50% off!”
Chen Luo rubbed his eyes, and he reconfirmed that he was not mistaken, that he was holding a street tabloid in his hand.
The text above is not Yawen, but Ping text. Ping text is a shorthand version of Yawen. It does not attract the power of heaven, so the difficulty of writing is also reduced by a lot. It is the font used for daily communication in the Xuan Dynasty.
The difference between Yawen is probably equivalent to the difference between seal script and italic script in the previous life.
Chen Luo turned over the tabloid before and after, and found that the content above was mainly some brothel gossip and job advertisements, with a few commercial advertisements interspersed in the middle.
Suddenly he seemed to catch the thought in his head.
Chen Luo knocked on the frame of the car, and the groom who was driving the car pulled the curtain and asked with a smile, “Guest officer, what are your orders?”
Chen Luo politely glanced at the tabloid for the groom: “Brother, where can I buy this?”
The groom glanced at it, hehe smiled: “Little brother, isn’t this just a draft! Any teahouse, pub, or brothel, sold by servants for a penny.”
Chen Luo asked again, “Is it all like this?”
The groom is also a talkative man, and nodded: “Yes! It’s all about the girls in the brothel, and there are local recruits. We rough people like to watch it. Anyway, it’s cheap. After reading it, you can take it home and put it away and use it as toilet paper.”
”There is no other content? For example, something written in Yawen?” Chen Luo was chasing after him.
The coachman thought for a while and replied: “Guest officer, you are talking about the “Wenbao”. It is a precious thing, published by Wenchang Pavilion, saying that it contains the latest poems, and the master and even the great Confucian annotated the meaning of the scriptures. The article is released once a month, it is said to cost 10 taels of silver!”
”Ten silver taels? So expensive?” Chen Luo looked surprised.
”It’s not expensive! Can a scholar’s stuff be said to be expensive! A low-grade Kaimeng scripture costs five hundred taels. If it weren’t for the free reading of the academy’s books, my family would have saved eight lifetimes of money and still wouldn’t be able to afford a scholar! ” ”
Chen Luo was stunned, and the memory of books appeared in his mind.
Books are divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. Handwritten by the original author, it is top grade. The learned man transcribes it attentively, and it is a medium grade. It is inferior to use the Confucian sect spell of “writing a thousand words” to quickly transcribe.
Among the lower-grade classics, Kaimeng has the lowest level, but it also requires five hundred taels of silver. Therefore, ordinary families cannot afford books at all, and can only hope that their children can enter the academy, because in the academy, books can be borrowed for free. And Wenchang Pavilion will pay the original author of Jingyi according to the number of borrowings!
Don’t say piracy, the book has the power of heaven. Try stealing a copy. Before the original author and Wenchang Pavilion defend their rights, Tiandao will kill you first!
In this way, the books in the bookcase in Chen Luo’s study are worth the old nose money!
Wrong! The point is not here!
Chen Luo slapped his head suddenly, and he was also investigating the wool market. In this world, writing books is the most profitable!
And he Chen Luo, the Daxuan’s Lord of Wan An, the virtuous teacher of Taoism, the master of red dust, and the pioneer of the fourth road to the sky, how can he be lacking?
He has a head full of books!
Chen Luo pulled the curtains and sat back on the seat of the carriage. His brain began to spin rapidly.
In the perfect pulse connection state before, the red dust in his body has been exhausted, and there is not a drop of it.
According to the spirit of the secret realm, people who read his book can also generate red dust, which has been proved by Ji Zhong. And the more people who generate red dust, the more red dust can be fed back to him. This will be a major source of his future cultivation.
Secondly, his books are not limited by the talent of reading through, that is, as long as you understand Yawen, you can read the books he wrote and get the red dust aura from them.
Finally, make money! It is amazing that other great scholars can write two or three books in a lifetime, but he, mobile library!
Just thinking about it made him very excited, he actually has a gold mountain source!
In conclusion.
He wants to win a piece of the mass market, so the price can’t be too high, otherwise, consumers will not be able to buy a copy for a lifetime.
He must have a sustainable channel and be able to satisfy himself by writing one book after another.
He must have a stable method of cashing out funds, which can maintain the above two points.
So, the breakthrough is…
”Guest officer, here we are!” The groom knocked on the car window.
Chen Luo stopped thinking, got out of the car, and suddenly found a familiar figure leaning against the red lacquer gate of the Earl’s Mansion. Seemed to be sleepy, leaning on the door and sleeping soundly.
With that half-dead look, Chen Luo recognized it at a glance.
”Ji Zhong!”
Hearing the shout, Ji Zhong raised his head with ecstasy on his face: “Young Master!”
Hearing a “ji”, it came out of Ji Zhong’s mouth.
A little arrogance,
A thousand miles of happy wind!
Ji Zhong instantly stood in front of Chen Luo.
Your sister, it’s only a few steps away, and you flash again!
…
Tianxiang Building.
Chen Luo took a sigh of relief, ordered the whole table, and looked at Ji Zhong, who was gobbling down, not knowing how many meals this fellow hadn’t eaten.
”Why are you here? Is Chen Xuan okay?”
”It’s alright!” Ji Zhong said while gnawing on the phoenix’s legs, “When the young master was just kidnapped, Sister Xuan lost weight in a day or two. Later, the county magistrate received a message from Wei Great Scholar saying that he had saved you, and then she was relieved and returned to normal.”
When Chen Luo heard this, his heart felt sour. He had experienced a lot of hardships in life and death, Chen Xuan of course also experienced a life and death situation.
”Then why did you come to Zhongjing?”
”Sister Xuan said that Cai Zhixian is taking care of you at home, and there is no major issue. She was afraid that you would not be able to handle it alone in Zhongjing, so she asked me to come and accompany you. She wanted to send Sister Xiaohuan over to take care of you, but was persuaded by Uncle Ping! Oh, right……”
Ji Zhong said and took out a stack of silver bills from his arms: “This is 30,000 taels of silver bills, which Sister Xuan asked me to bring to you. He said that Zhongjing consumes a lot of money, you must be thinking of ways to make money. She wants to tell you to not worry, don’t save it, if it’s not enough, write back and tell her…”
Chen Luo looked at the neat stack of silver notes and received it in his hand. For some reason, his nose was tingling, and tears flowed down…
