Bookstores in this era are not modern bookstores dedicated to selling books, but a combination of bookstores and printing houses.

Just as there was no copyright in ancient China, there was no copyright in the state of Nanzhao. If you like the content, you can print it at will. You just have to sign the author's name. Piracy is OK, but plagiarism is not!

There are no special writers in the state of Nanzhao. The purpose of publishing a book is to be famous. The purpose of being famous is to get extra marks in the scientific examination. Only when the scientific examination is successful can you have a reputation and become an official. In other words, being an official is the right thing to do. What kind of bullshit is writing a book?

In particular, no one rarely writes novels. For literati, it's a stain to write these lewd words. If you don't deduct points in the scientific examination, even if you become an official, it's a lifelong shame.

It's like in modern times, the director and section chief meet and say: Hey, section chief x, what did you do before? Answer: pimps.

It's easy to say, but hard to hear.

Come back to the dining room.

Although she was puzzled by the questions of the virtuous princess, Shen's reply was still soft: "back to the empress, whether it's the Chen family or the Shen family of the people's wife's family, they all have a bookstore business."

"Make money?" Ye Liuli comes to the point.

Shen's smile slowly shook his head, "in the capital and other rich areas, study still some income, but in Qinzhou is not."

Yes, everyone is hungry. Who studies?

The wives of the five presidents sighed. It was forced by the environment, and they could do nothing.

Ye Liuli asked again, "what kind of books are more profitable in these places in Beijing?"

Shen Shida said, "it's a kind of scientific research book. For example, a subset of classics and history, especially those commented by famous scholars, students have to buy them back and study them carefully."

"What about the story book?" Ye Liuli asked again.

Shen's return, "the story book also earns money, but it's not stable." Afraid that Princess Xian could not understand, Shen explained in detail, "the sales of jingshiziji are very stable. For example, a bookstore can sell 100 copies a month, and it will be 100 copies next month, and it will be 100 copies next month. But if it's a story book, the bookshop has to spend a sum of money to buy the manuscript first. Not to mention, it has to be rigid, buy paper, print and bind. In the end, it may not be able to sell it. Sometimes this is right for everyone's appetite, and they can earn such a sum of money, but if it's not right for everyone's appetite, there will be no return of bloody stool. The bookshop business is not profiteering. It means that it doesn't make much money. Once it loses money, it takes in all the money it made before. So there are fewer and fewer bookstores doing the storybook business now. "

After hearing this, ye Liuli was relieved.

Do novels make money? Earn!

Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, it is also profitable, but the content requirements are very high.

No matter how well you write, if readers don't like it, it can't be sold.

No matter how rubbish you write, if readers like to read it, they will make money. For those who are jealous and picky, even if they pick and spray every day, they should sell or earn.

There is another difference between the ancient publishing industry and the modern book industry, that is, the cost of ancient publishing is very high, and the cost of engraving and paper is very high, so it's easy to compensate.

Shen couldn't help asking curiously, "why did empress suddenly become interested in the bookstore?"

Ye Liuli said mysteriously, "it's still a secret for the time being. I'm planning a big event. If it's successful, I'll give sister Shen a big deal."

Shen's smile, "really? The woman of the people has given thanks to her mother in advance. "

Ye Liuli waved his hand, "thank you for your eloquence. I don't want it. I just want sister Shen to cook more good dishes. That's my goal."

Shen was finally amused by Ye Liuli, "as long as the princess likes it, the people's wife will go to the palace and cook for her everyday."

"Really?" Ye Liuli blinked, "if so, I'm happy. I'm afraid Mr. Chen will cry."

“……” Shen was said to blush.

Ye Liuli let Shen go, turned to the other five and said, "ladies and gentlemen, I have a question to ask."

Five people quickly answer, "Niang Niang has a question to ask, we know everything."

Ye Liuli nodded, "does the academy make money?"

“……” Five people are at a loss. What's the meaning of this, Niang Niang? I have to say, Niang Niang really has no vision. What doesn't Qinzhou make money? What does she want to do? Even a pub is better than an academy, although it doesn't make money.

Looking at the ugly faces of the five people, ye Liuli knew the answer and laughed, "excuse me, are there many people studying in the academy now?"

Wenfu humanity, "back to the empress, not much."

"What about those who used to read?" Asked Ye Liuli.

Mrs. Wen sighed, "now Qinzhou is in such a bad situation. It's hard to live. No one has any more money for students to study. Some go home to farm and some seek other ways to make a living."

Ye Liuli nodded, "if those students go back to farming, can they earn money?"

Mrs. Wen had no choice but to smile. When the princess was young, she didn't know what to do. "Just imagine, even the experienced farmers can't grow food. What's the way to earn money for the students who can't mention it? On the contrary, if they come to the academy to study, their books, pen and ink, even their clothes are very expensive. They go home not to earn money, but to save money. "Ye Liuli nodded again, "I have one thing I want to ask five ladies for help. I don't know if they are willing."

Five people hurriedly way, "is willing, is willing, can serve for the princess empress is the people wife's honor."

Ye Liuli stretched out her finger and signed for five people to come. She also pointed out her head and said in a low voice, "go home and have a chat with the five presidents. Each of you will invite five students back, who are good at writing and flexible in mind. No nerd is needed. The more clever the better. Let them come back to work for me and give me five liang of silver a month."

Five people are surprised, "Niang Niang, what do you want them to do?" Five taels of silver is not much, but it's a lot.

"It's a secret for the time being, but if the plan succeeds, you can't do without it." Ye Liuli promised.

The five people all knew the power of the princess. They only said that Wen Xianmin's family got the Royal gift.

At this time, the five people didn't imagine that the empress of the virtuous princess could change the atmosphere of Qinzhou, only thought that they could get something from the emperor.

Later, ye Liuli began to chat with Shen. She talked more about the bookshop, printing and paper products purchasing. It happened that Shen was very familiar with a series of issues of the bookshop, because when she was a young girl, her family gave her a small bookshop to take care of.

The Shen family is not so patriarchal. They cultivate their children's business sense from childhood and tell them that money is hard won.

Seeing that the princess and Mrs. Chen were engaged in the conversation, the five deans exchanged glances with each other, quietly left and returned to their original positions. This noble throne is not their place to sit, and their half new clothes are also out of place.
