Becoming a Rich Man
"This…is impossible, right?"
After recovering from her shock, Princess Chang Le expressed her doubts.
Because she felt that someone who could write such a great work could not be of the same age as her.
Moreover, the plot of Zhuge Liang's verbal battle with the scholars just now…
Although it looked simple, to really write it down, one had to have a huge reserve.
She really could not imagine that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old person could actually write such a thick book.
In this era, paper was very expensive.
Therefore, most people only wrote poems.
It was amazing to write one or two articles.
At most, it would be one to two thousand words.
Of course, there were also fiercer censors who could easily write three to four thousand words of admonition.
However, they were still a minority.
Even those who wrote chivalrous stories often spent more than ten years to write such a book.
Moreover, the number of words in this book was completely incomparable to Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
No matter what she said, it wouldn't work.
At this moment, Empress Zhangsun spoke.
"As the saying goes, there's always someone better than you. Don't underestimate the elites of the world. Even your father was full of praise for Chu Wen, praising his talent as the best in the world.”
She wanted to use this opportunity to educate Princess Chang Le.
However, it was also the truth.
Li Shi Min had told her more than once that Chu Wen was talented and far more talented than his peers.
Even people like them, who had been through a lot, couldn't compare to Chu Wen's talent.
Princess Chang Le was stunned.
She knew that her father's eyes were definitely above his head.
After all, he had the ability to do so.
He rarely praised others easily.
However, when he praised Chu Wen, he spared no effort and even placed him in the position of " number one in the world ".
This was too exaggerated.
However, Li Chengqian's next words caused her cherry lips to slightly open, and she was even more shocked.
"Royal sister, you don't know." A few days ago, Chu Wen had proposed the selection method for the imperial examinations and the strategy for the expedition against Tubo.”
"At that time, Lord Fang and Lord Du, as well as the Regional King and even Father, were all at their wits 'end. In the end, Chu Wen was originally only here to present a letter to Father, but when he saw that everyone was at their wits' end, he casually said two countermeasures.”
His words made Princess Chang Le no longer doubt him.
Since Imperial Brother said so, then he definitely wasn't speaking without thinking.
"This is too amazing. He's simply a genius. I really couldn't tell.”
Princess Changle clicked her tongue.
At this point, she completely believed it.
Chu Wen's expression appeared in his mind.
In his heart, he couldn't help but feel admiration.
Li Chengqian smiled and said," Who says it isn't? With his talent, he's completely worthy of the word 'genius'. However, what I don't understand is that he actually rejected my father's invitation. He didn't want to be an official and became a book merchant instead.”
"Everyone has their own aspirations. It's normal."
Empress Zhangsun sighed.
Just as Princess Chang Le and the others were discussing Chu Wen.
Chu Wen seemed a little bored.
Now, he was completely in a state of hands-off management.
Whether it was printing or marketing, he did not need to interfere.
The efficiency of movable type printing was extremely high. It could print almost 5,000 copies a day.
As for marketing.
Now, it was completely unnecessary.
They didn't worry about sales at all. Instead, they were worried about the lack of supply.
After all, besides Chang 'an, many booksellers from the surrounding cities also came.
Moreover, every time he sold, he would not sell 300 to 500 books. He would sell at least 2000 books.
He was quite generous.
Chu Wen was bored and laid on the chair.
He was prepared to count how much his Prosperous Husband Value had reached.
These few days, because of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Li Xue Yan, this little fan wife, had already contributed a lot of Prosperous Husband Points to him.
In addition to the remaining 100 points from a few days ago, plus the 300 points from watching Romance of the Three Kingdoms for the first time.
In total, it should be quite impressive.
He happily opened the interface.
[Host: Chu Wen.]
" Age: Sixteen."
" Skills: Eidetic Memory, Zither Master, God-level Calligraphy Skill, Moving Type Print Skill.”
[Item: None]
" Prosperous Husband Value: 2900."
"Currently bound to Prosperous Husband: Li Xue Yan.”
[Note: Sensing that the host is in a world of three wives and four concubines, the number of bound prosperous husbands can be increased one by one. Everything depends on the host.]”
2900 points?
This was too flirtatious.
Chu Wen was extremely excited.
Reading with Prosperous Husband Points meant that the more purchasing power he had, the more items he could exchange for.
He could not help but open the system store.
After rowing for a long time, he still couldn't see the bottom.
This mall was simply a bottomless pit with all kinds of items.
Chu Wen did not place an order.
He was just enjoying himself.
He was prepared to spend these Prosperous Husband Points on the blade.
He couldn't just waste it.
Just as Chu Wen was in a good mood, Qi San 'er rushed in from the door.
"Old Master, when I passed by the restaurant just now, I actually heard someone telling a story. The content of the story was Old Master's Romance of the Three Kingdoms.”
Qi San 'er looked indignant.
These storytellers were too shameless. They didn't even get Old Master's permission and talked about Romance of the Three Kingdoms without permission.
If the storyteller was like this, wouldn't it affect the sales of the book?
This was a huge loss.
He felt bad for Old Master.
However, Chu Wen only smiled faintly and said,""It's not a big deal. These storytellers don't have it easy either. In order to support their families, let them be.”
When Qi San 'er heard what the old master said, respect instantly welled up in her heart.
Old Master was really magnanimous.
Then, he reported the total number of copies sold so far.
When he heard the number, even Chu Wen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
It actually broke through 100,000 volumes!
One had to know that this number, even before transmigration, was a number that only best-selling authors could reach.
An ordinary author would have at most 30,000 to 50,000 books.
Of course, there were also millions of copies. However, times were different, and so was his purchasing power.
Moreover, he was basically only selling them in Chang 'an Fortress.
Although there were booksellers in the surrounding cities who bought books, the number was very small.
Therefore, it was equivalent to the population of Chang 'an. This number had already reached a very terrifying number.
Then, Chu Wen suddenly realized something.
He had already become a tycoon.
This was because each book was priced at 3000 wen, which was equivalent to 2 taels of silver.
If compared to before he transmigrated, two taels of silver was about 400 RMB.
This was also because movable type printing had lowered the cost, so the price was relatively low. If it was engraved printing, the price would be even higher.
Even so, 100,000 books could be sold for 200,000 taels of silver, which was equivalent to 40 million yuan.
He had truly become rich overnight!
