Novel: College students travel through the Tang Dynasty and want to make money by writing novels, but find that the Spring Palace here is the most profitable

Plan A doesn't work, and plan B doesn't work.

Zhou Mengchen meditated all night. The next day I went out again, following yesterday's route, first to the Bell and Drum Tower, and then to the Sanatorium. The bell and drum towers are all skilled hands, and Zhou Mengchen checked the lotus leak, and there was no problem. As for the sanatorium, the house is still being repaired.

If nothing else, the walls have been rebuilt little by little.

From the outside alone, although the walls are new and old, they are all like the same thing.

Zhou Mengchen also had nothing to worry about.

He then did not go outside the city, but went straight to Chessboard Street.

All over the country, I don't know how many chessboard streets there are.

They are all named because of the layout of the street, which resembles a chessboard.

The chessboard street in Wuchang City is close to the Confucius Temple of Fuxue, and the largest number of readers nearby. It has the concept of a later university town. After Zhou Mengchen came to The Chessboard Street, he saw that on the road, there were an unknown number of readers walking around, and it seemed that the air had become Sven.

However, Zhou Mengchen came here not to feel the atmosphere of Svenness here, but to see if the cultural industry was ok.

Yes, it's about writing novels.

At this moment, he is not a person, he is Cao Xueqin, Pu Songling, Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, Qiong Yao, Yi Shu, Sanmao possessed.

In his opinion, although he needed to give the sanatorium a long-term livelihood, he needed a quick sum of money to feed these people, otherwise he would rely on these fifty taels alone, that is, a month or two. After all, it was no longer more than a hundred mouths, but four or five hundred mouths.

If with a quick sum of money.

Zhou Mengchen could have more time to think about something else.

It seemed to him that it was possible to make money through the cultural industry.

So, he came to the chessboard street with the most bookstores in the whole of Wuchang City.

Just as soon as he entered the bookstore on Chessboard Street, Zhou Mengchen saw a large number of various Kinds of Cheng Wen, especially Wang Jun's. It is a model for this student to learn for so many years. It was like entering a bookstore, full of review materials, and non-review materials only occupied a very small place.

It seems that human nature has not changed for many years. This sense of familiarity is the same in ancient and modern times.

Zhou Mengchen turned around, did not seem to find any script, and asked: "Treasurer, is there a script?" ”

"Yes." The treasurer greeted and flipped out a lot of words from below.

In general, there are Tang and Song Dynasties, what Warblers, Immortal Hall, Li Wa, Huo Xiaoyu Yunyun. This is the female frequency. What Sui Chaos Testament, Southern and Northern Song Dynasty Ping dialect, five generations of Ping dialect, even less, Three Kingdoms Zhi Ping dialect. This is a male frequency historical novel, in addition, there are various magical chi monsters, fairy magic novels. Perhaps it is the historical origin of xianxia novels.

Dozens of books came down, and Zhou Mengchen opened them. Frowning slightly, he said, "It seems that they are not contemporary?" Isn't there a book of the words of the people of the time? ”

"Yes." The treasurer took out two books.

Zhou Mengchen took a look at it, one was "Wumu Wang Jingzhonglu" and the other was "Biography of the Founding Heroes".

The treasurer said: "The former one was deleted and subtracted by the famous masters in Jiangnan, and the latter one is that the ancestors of Hou Simu of Wuding in this dynasty gathered the disciples and repeatedly finalized them, all of which are new books." ”

Zhou Mengchen looked at it, and his heart was half cold.

He just opened the previous book and knew that this one was probably the predecessor of Yue Feichuan. The latter one is even more famous, compiled by Wu Dinghou in order to put gold on the faces of his ancestors. The credit of many others was filled in the head of Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding.

Zhou Mengchen said, "Aren't there new books?" ”

The treasurer was stunned at first, and then said meaningfully: "It turns out that the prince wants this, there is." Yes. ”

Then I didn't know from what corner to pull out a book, white and clean, not a word.

Zhou Mengchen was a little unclear, opened it and looked at it, there was actually a painting. It's a picture book. The page that Zhou Mengchen turned over was a tree in front of a house with a swing on the tree. There are two people under the swing, a man and a woman, one on the swing and one person under the swing.

Doing the unspeakable.

Zhou Mengchen's eyes swept over and immediately closed, but this painting does not know who painted it, the house and the tree are not to say, the key is the person, the jade body is horizontal, the eyebrows are flying and dancing, the lust is flowing, it seems to be dewy, it is indeed a good painter, no, it is indeed a good art.

It's just that this is not what Zhou Mengchen wants.

He slammed the book shut. But he heard the treasurer say, "This is Tang Bohu's fire avoidance map, which is a must in the world." ”

The fire avoidance map is the Spring Palace diagram.

Legend has it that Vulcan is a lady in waiting for a word, she usually wears yellow clothes, then it is fine, once she is not happy to wear red clothes, she will catch fire.

And when she saw the Spring Palace Diagram, she would go away in shame. Therefore, the Spring Palace diagram is called the fire avoidance map. It is even hidden in many places, such as in the library.

Zhou Mengchen said, "Treasurer, don't you have any contributors here?" ”

The treasurer didn't quite understand.

Zhou Mengchen explained for a while, the treasurer only understood, he smiled and said: "Gongzi, you don't understand our line, the most profitable book in our book is never a small talking book, this is all for idle people's entertainment, the real money, just these eight strands of Cheng Wen." ”

"These are the most profitable."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Do I see that you have a printing workshop behind you?" Why not print some novels? Didn't you buy it? ”

The treasurer said, "Of course there is. Otherwise I wouldn't have any of these in my shop, but we usually choose which widely circulated one to print. So even if the leftovers come, don't worry about selling, we small business, generally do not use new books, maybe jiangnan there is it, but here in Wuchang, I have not heard of it. ”

Zhou Mengchen suddenly understood that the bookstore operated logically.

In this copyright-free world, the most profitable thing for bookstores has always been the education industry, and even if the textbooks are printed in later generations, it is a very fat piece of fat. Moreover, Daming's eight-strand teaching materials have not changed for many years, so when printing this type of book, there is no scruple at all.

Even if you print more, you can buy it slowly.

Small talk ben here profit points are not much. And the cost of trial and error in the novel is very high, once some of the prints can not be sold, it is really smashed into it, it is a loss of real money.

The profit is not high, and the loss can be large.

Who would print the books of those unknown people.

Therefore, these bookstores like to print the small talk books that are widely circulated. Or that the contemporary people are already famous. It's like Tang Bohu.

Zhou Mengchen secretly said in his heart, "Plan B failed." ”

The treasurer did not understand Zhou Mengchen's loss, but only asked, "Gongzi, do you want this Tang Bohu's words?" ”

Zhou Mengchen hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much is it?" ”

The treasurer said, "Tang Bohu's true deeds, one or two pieces of silver." ”

Zhou Mengchen also wanted to enrich his amateur life, and when he heard about this price, he immediately put it down and said: "One look is overprinted, and I actually want one or two silver, and I want money crazy." "He has reached the point where there is no code in his heart, how can he pay for such a book." Throw your sleeves away.

The Spring Palace Diagram was just a small episode, Zhou Mengchen walked on the street, and secretly said in his heart: "Even if Jin Yong is reborn here, it is impossible to make a fortune by writing books in a short period of time!" ”

Either it is a widely circulated work or a famous artist.

The former, directly from the market to collect each version, revision and deletion, you can produce their own version, which is the ancient many are different versions, the content will be different reasons. Even if the author does not die, he will not make money. And the latter, generally known as the famous. It's two kinds of masters.

One is people who have written good novels and have become famous.

The other is that it is not famous as a writing script, but in other respects it has a literary name, or has a status as a scholar.

These may be able to collect some money.

Neither was Zhou Mengchen.

Zhou Mengchen's brow frowned, and Zhou Dazhuang silently followed behind.

The originally gloomy weather was also like Zhou Mengchen's mood, and it was raining heavily.

Zhou Mengchen was still some distance away from home, and he could only temporarily find a restaurant to hide from the rain.

This was not a meal, and the restaurant was originally deserted, but because of this rain, it suddenly became lively.

Zhou Mengchen had been gone for a long time, and he was a little hungry, so he ordered some snacks, asked for two cups of hot tea, and ate with Zhou Dazhuang.

Zhou Dazhuang is a stuffy gourd, some of whom are late and do not speak often. Zhou Mengchen listened to the guests in the store. Many of these people are nearby neighborhoods. They are very familiar with each other, and when it comes to parents who are short, they are full of interest.

Zhou Mengchen suddenly heard a person say, "What time is it?" ”

But no one could answer.

Some people say it's time, some people say it's time. Some even said it was already noon.

The hour is from seven o'clock to nine o'clock, the time means nine o'clock to eleven o'clock, and the noon time is eleven o'clock to one o'clock, and the good guys are one morning apart.

During the day, the people judge the time by looking at the sun, but now that the rain is pouring and the sky is dark, how to judge the accurate time can only be said according to personal impressions. Although there are bell and drum towers in the city, no one really pays attention to the movement of the bell and drum towers all the time on weekdays.

Especially in the midst of the rain.

A group of people actually quarreled over this topic and did not give in to each other.

Zhou Mengchen smiled secretly in his heart: "It's really idle, if there is a watch, this is not a problem." Zhou Mengchen had a flash of inspiration and said in his heart, "Isn't this a suitable business opportunity?" ”

Although most people do not need accurate timing too much, there are many places that are still needed, even to cope with this weather. Moreover, the thing that Zhou Mengchen was most familiar with daming was the things in the Bell and Drum Tower. Taking Yan Su's lotus leak as a model, designing a set of relatively small footprints, which can be placed at home, and more accurate engraving leaks, is not a difficult task for Zhou Mengchen.

Even better, Zhou Mengchen was the Yin and Yang official responsible for the time granting, and in this regard it was within the scope of Zhou Mengchen's power.
