Ye Tong sat in front of the cabinet, calculating on an abacus.
"One book is twenty coins, and the profit is seven coins. After deducting the fire consumption for two hundred books, it's one tael of silver.”
"I sold 300 copies today and transferred one or two of them. Haha, writing is indeed a good job!”
"Young man, what book is so popular that it sells 300 copies a day?”
Hearing someone speak, Ye Tong looked up and saw a middle-aged man in black and white standing in front of him. He smiled and said,"This customer, of course, it's this book,《Nine Cauldrons Void Shattering》.”
"Other people's books cost seventy coins each, and the story is not as exciting as this 'Nine Cauldrons Void Shattering Technique'.”Ye Tong: " My bookstore's Nine Cauldrons Void Shattering is twenty coins each. Of course it sells well.”
The middle-aged man smiled and took the book.”
Ye Tong: " As the saying goes, the Supreme Heavens are the most respected. I am the number one in the world. You must have heard of it, right?"”
The black-and-white clothed middle-aged man thought to himself,'I counted with my fingers. It's this kid. The sudden throbbing in my heart is my last little disciple.'
However, this little bastard actually said that the Very High Heavens were revered…
The middle-aged man in black and white had a thought." Little shop owner, I have a question. Can you help me solve it?"”
Ye Tong was puzzled." Please speak. I'll see if I can help you."”
" I have a big senior brother who's so powerful," the middle-aged man in black and white said." And I have a destined disciple."”
"But this little bastard disciple praised my eldest senior brother.”
"I'm thinking about giving this disciple to Eldest Senior Brother.”
Ye Tong was amused when he heard that.”
The middle-aged man in black and white raised his eyebrows.”
"Then all the more you can't give in. You have to fight for it. Otherwise, won't others look down on you even more if they know? Senior brother should give way to junior brother."
After hearing Ye Tong's words, the black-and-white clothed middle-aged man's lips curled up.""Little shop owner, your《Nine Cauldrons Shattering Void》is quite nice, but I don't have any money with me…"
Ye Tong thought for a moment." I can give it to you. When you come to buy the second volume, you can make up for it together."”
"Aren't you afraid that I won't come and buy the second scroll?”The middle-aged man smiled.
" This book is very well written. I'm not afraid that people will not read the second volume." Ye Tong said proudly.”
The middle-aged man in black and white laughed loudly. How about this, I have two items on me, a fishing drum is a musical instrument, and a purple lightning hammer is a weapon. You can choose one to exchange for a book.”
Ye Tong was stunned for a moment." Of course, the weapon is better. How about the Purple Electric Hammer?"”
The middle-aged man in black and white laughed out loud.”This little disciple of mine has a fighting spirit.
At this moment, Ye Tong thought to herself,"How much is a broken instrument worth? Is a weapon worth more?"
The middle-aged man in black and white took out a hammer the size of a finger.""Keep it."
Ye Tong's eyes widened, and she immediately gave him a thumbs up."Everyone in the ten streets and eight alleys knows that I, Ye Tong, am a profiteer. I've seen something even more impressive in the past few days. This small hammer must be a weapon from the little kingdom, right? However, it's also made of metal and is worth twenty coins.”
A gust of black gas rose from the top of the middle-aged man's head, but no ordinary person could see it.
Soulless! I'm going to kill this little bastard and clean up the house!
However, it was really difficult to find a disciple now. Then, the middle-aged man in black and white put down his resentment and turned to leave.
Opposite them, Ji Yunxiang looked at the sky in surprise."Which god is angry in Chang 'an? Yet, Shing Wong did not come to report or stop him? Interesting."
……
In the royal study, Li Shi Min had a huge kite in front of him. He was a little confused."Are you sure it's a message?"
" Your Majesty," Yuchi Jingde replied," there is no doubt that it is our message. However, I don't quite understand these words.”
"These seem to be the contents of some legendary story, but there are some places where the ink has faded, so I can't see the whole thing.”"Your Majesty, the spy who released the news must have had some difficulties and hid the news in the story.”
"Then I'll watch it once." Li Shimin nodded.”
……
Morning court.
At the end of the court meeting, Li Shimin said loudly,"My dear ministers, I have a matter that I would like to seek your help with.”
"Plop!" Fang Xuanling knelt on the ground." Your Majesty, my family's wealth is under Madam's control. I really can't take it out. Your Majesty, you can ask Duke Cheng!"”
"Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin instantly knelt on the ground and cried. I have three sons to support and guards to provide for. In addition, His Majesty asked me to pay for the equipment replacement in the army this time, so I don't have any money!”
"It's not about the money, it's about the book." Li Shimin was speechless.”
"Books?" Cheng Yaojin's crying face disappeared instantly. He stood up and laughed."It's right to ask the civil officials about this.”
Li Shi Min hesitated for a moment." Dear ministers, do you know of an author whose pen name is 'I am the best in the world'?”
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. Only Cheng Yaojin was suspicious.
Then, Li Shimin asked,"Then who knows about the legendary novel 'Nine Cauldrons Shattering the Void' that is related to military affairs!”
Cheng Yaojin hesitated for a moment before stepping forward.""Your Majesty, I know."
"Oh?" All the officials were shocked.
The Emperor was asking about the book, and all the civil officials in the court didn't know about it. How could the so-called uncultured Duke Cheng know about it?
"Yesterday, my second son secretly read this book and was taught a lesson by my wife." Cheng Yaojin whispered.”
"Oh?" "Do you know where it came from?" Li Shimin was surprised. Do you have the original copy?"
"It was originally burned by Furen, but I know that the book was bought from a bookstore called Huiyuan Bookstore. I heard that the sales were very good.”"Could it be that His Majesty knows about this book and wants to…levy taxes?" Cheng Yaojin raised his head.”
Li Shimin glared at him. Was he the kind of person who only cared about money?”"It really sold well?"”
Cheng Yaojin grinned.”
