Chapter 362 Triggering Shilin Earthquake

As soon as the people sent by the two great Confucians finished their congratulations, people discovered that there was another group of people behind them.

"Prince Wu's Mansion, I wish Mo Xiangju a happy opening."

"Did you hear that, it's Prince Wu's Mansion, it's Prince Wu's Mansion, this time I've come here over and over again at the ninth rank of Lord, my dear, this time is really amazing. When did Luo Yan have such friendship with so many people?" .”

Many princes and nobles stood behind other bookstores, but since these people came to give gifts today, it meant that they stood behind Luo Yan with a clear banner.

The people who were not optimistic about this Moxiangju before, are a little bit guilty now.After all, what will happen in Chang'an next.

But what is certain is that this Moxiangju will definitely be the center of the next ups and downs.

There are so many people who come to congratulate, starting from the third quarter of the Si hour and continuing until the first quarter of the Wei hour.However, all the congratulators left, and the real drama had just begun.

"Thank you for coming today. Although I don't have a deep background in Moxiangju, since I got a technique from my father-in-law, the cost of printing books has been greatly reduced. Therefore, the scholars who bought books in the small shop today, All will be settled at [-]% of the original price."

The scholars were stunned. "What, [-]%, did I hear correctly?"

"It's probably true, but I don't know how much the books in his store sell. If it's too expensive, it's not as good as the original price of other stores."

"No matter what you say, you should go and have a look. Didn't you just say that the cost of printing books has been greatly reduced, which means that the price of books has also dropped."

"Forget it, don't think about it for now, let's go in and take a look later."

Scholars kept whispering to each other, and the more righteous ones hurried out, wanting to tell their close friends the good news immediately.

Seeing this situation, Ah Quan was very happy: "Everyone, don't rush to leave, you might as well go in and check the book prices first, and then make a decision."

After speaking, he walked in first.

The scholars hesitated for a while at this time, but they thought that they couldn't buy and sell by force anyway, so they turned around and came out.Therefore, they no longer hesitated, and swarmed into the not-so-narrow store door.

The decoration inside the bookstore is extremely beautiful.

On the horizontal bookshelves, the books placed are marked, and there are many calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hanging on the walls.

At this time, the room is not dark, and it looks full of book fragrance.In the middle of the store, there is actually a book case, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones placed on it, waiting for the master to write.

This is the first time the scholars have seen such a dedicated bookstore.

In other bookstores, scholars would tell the titles of the books, and then the shopkeepers would look for them by themselves. Unlike now, they can choose by themselves.

The first impression was good, and the scholars walked towards the rows of bookshelves with some anxiety.Such a decoration, I am afraid that the price of the book is not low.They wondered whether they should put on a show, and when they asked the shopkeeper for the price, they were stunned by the small words marked on the bookshelf.

"The Analects of Confucius", thirty essays.

"Spring and Autumn", one hundred essays.

……

The scholars thought they had missed a lot of numbers, they rubbed their eyes in unison, and then looked at the bookshelf again.

That's right, "The Analects" has [-] essays, and "Spring and Autumn" has [-] essays.If you add the [-]% of the price just mentioned, it's amazing.

The scholars felt that something serious was going to happen this time.

They have also inquired in other stores and know how shocking the price is.In other shops, "The Analects of Confucius" requires at least one hundred essays. As for "Spring and Autumn", it is less than usual, so don't worry about it.

Almost like holding a treasure, he took out a book from the bookshelf and opened the pages. The beautiful and neat italics on the hard yellow paper and the neat pages made the scholars suddenly feel that what they were holding was not a book. But a family heirloom.

beautiful.

In previous books, the pages were never so clean.Not only are the pages untidy, but even the words inside are sometimes smeared with ink.

Without comparison, there is no difference.The first reaction of these scholars was to run forward with the books in their hands, as if they were afraid of being snatched away.After paying the money in a hurry, he ran to the house of his closest friend.

Pedestrians in the East City saw a strange scene. Many scholars frantically ran out of the newly opened Moxiangju, and then rushed in all directions.The usual elegance completely disappeared on this day.

Just when they thought something big happened in Moxiangju, some scholars who were arrested told the truth.

Low prices, discounts, high quality.When these words come together, how lethal is it to a scholar?
When the market closes in the evening, Ah Quan has no choice but to drive people out.After repeatedly promising that the price of books would not change in the future, the scholars left with confidence.

And he and his buddies sorted out the money collected today.

There were already more than a dozen baskets of copper coins piled up in the backyard, and Ah Quan and his staff waited until they were ugly before calculating the daily turnover—more than 500 coins.In less than half a day, Mo Xiangju raked in more than 500 yuan of money.

It was the first time for Ah Quan to experience the feeling of cramp in his hand when counting money. He was lying on the ground laughing tiredly, but the corners of his eyes were full of tears.

If it weren't for Luo Yan, he was still a servant at this time, and he might never see so much money in his life.

As a hidden manipulator behind the scenes, Luo Yan didn't care too much about the bookstore.He entrusted Ah Quan to do everything because he was confident that such a low price would not be tempted by the majority of scholars.

The next day, Luo Yan walked into the dormitory and found that all the students were looking at him.

"What's the matter, shouldn't you be reciting the "Book of Rites" today? Why don't you study hard and watch me do?" Luo Yan was a little surprised.

"Assistant, is Moxiangju your property?" A student asked boldly.

Luo Yan smiled playfully: "If you say yes, he is, if you say no, he is not. Why do you care so much?"

"Master, such a good book in Moxiangju is only sold for such a small amount of money. Could it be that you are spending money on it again? You can't do this. The stall is too big, and it will collapse sooner or later." From the person who bought the books From the moment the student fell in love with Mo Xiangju, he asked very worriedly.

In the future, when Mo Xiangju collapsed, wouldn't such a good thing become extinct?

These words made Luo Yan amused: "Don't worry, if you're in business, you won't lose money. Although you earn less, you're still making money, right?"

Hearing this, the student was relieved, took a long breath, and said to Luo Yan: "That's good, that's good, when I have money in the future, I will definitely buy a set of all the books in Mo Xiangju. Reading in this life is already a blessing, and being able to read books produced by Mo Xiangju is even more fortunate."

As he spoke, he became intoxicated.

Luo Yan immediately laughed: "Young man, if you can buy all the books in Mo Xiangju, I am afraid that you will have to read it in your next life." Speaking of this, Luo Yan said very seriously: "Study is not here. There are many, but proficiency. When buying books, you might as well look at what is written on the wall of the bookstore.”

The student nodded fiercely and said nothing more.

When a class was finished, Yao Silian and Kong Yingda came to him hand in hand.Seeing these two great scholars coming, Luo Yan naturally didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly invited them to his resting place.

"Mr. Yao and Dr. Kong are here because of the matter of Moxiangju?" Luo Yan knew that his students would ask questions, so how could other schools not make a sound.

Sure enough, Yao Silian nodded with a smile: "Jin Zhi, many masters complained to me today, saying that the scholars are a little careless in class, and the culprit is Mo Xiangju's books. Look, there is no solution. Is there a way?"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head with a wry smile, feeling that this was indeed a bit embarrassing for Luo Yan.

Although Kong Yingda didn't speak, the meaning in his eyes was that he expected Luo Yan to come up with a proper solution.

At the beginning, it cost hundreds of millions of dollars, Luo Yan let the craftsmen make enough movable type to print a "Spring and Autumn" at the same time.After accumulating for such a long time, there is indeed a lot of inventory. After thinking about it, Luo Yan replied to Yao Silian: "The supply of Moxiangju's goods cannot be cut off, so I can only ask them to take out the twelve scriptures each. Three hundred sets are exclusively for Guozixue to sell. As for the price, probably [-]%.”

Anyway, Yao Silian and Kong Yingda were both involved in this matter, and the loss of money is also a loss to everyone.As long as the normal operation of movable type printing can be maintained, this small benefit is not in Luo Yan's eyes at all.

When Yao Silian and Kong Yingda heard this, they were overjoyed.

Not to mention the expressions of the students of Guozixue after hearing the news, Chang'an Shilin at this time has gone completely crazy.

As soon as Moxiangju opened the door, dozens of scholars rushed in instantly.There are even some wealthy families who come with their servants, but they will take a set of any books.But in just two hours, the money received was actually three or four baskets more than yesterday's.

Someone made a calculation, the money to buy a set of Twelve Classics in Moxiangju can only buy one "Spring and Autumn" outside.Just because everyone can afford it, more people buy it themselves.But at this moment in Moxiangju, there are very few books on the bookshelves.

In order to be able to replenish the stock in time, Ah Quan had to temporarily close Moxiangju, and then freed up his hands to put books on the bookshelves together.

The news that Moxiangju was out of stock spread across the streets and alleys in an instant, and countless scholars who got the news too late couldn't help sighing.At this time, they are very envious of the beautifully bound books in the hands of their friends.

But Moxiangju is out of stock, and I don't know when it will be available.

Let's go back, and I'm a little unwilling, so now I can only wait at the door of Moxiangju to see if the door will open again today.When the door was seen to open again, another large group of scholars squeezed inside.

Facing such a situation, Ah Quan knew that the door would be closed early in two hours.However, my heart is flattered.
