Chapter 364

This day is destined to disappoint the scholars who came to Moxiangju to buy books.

Half a moment after Luo Yan walked out of Moxiangju, Moxiangju put up a sign of closing for business in front of the door.

For such a wayward Moxiangju, everyone has nothing to do.But those scalpers took this opportunity to threaten that Mo Xiangju really couldn't do it anymore.It is estimated that it will take a day or two to completely close the door.

With such unfavorable news, Mo Xiangju's books suddenly became popular. From the beginning, the price doubled, then doubled, and in the evening, the price even increased to eight times.This price has far exceeded the book prices of other bookstores.

But such a beautiful book is about to become out of print.

Thinking of this, many scholars are actually a little worried.Alas, it would be great if Moxiangju could continue to drive.

Overnight, I don't know how many people tossed and turned.Early the next morning, the gate of Moxiangju was full of people.Everyone wants to know whether Moxiangju will open again.Could it be that the creaking sound of closing the door yesterday has become an utter silence.

Wait, wait.In a blink of an eye, it was Si time, noon, and Wei time soon.

Although it is said that there is fire in August, at least it means that there is fire.The noon sun was very hot, but the scalpers left lamenting, but more scholars chose to stay.

They are not reconciled.Not reconciled to just such a bookstore like a flash in the pan, passing away in a hurry.

But in the blink of an eye, the application time passed, and there was still no movement in the bookstore.Although looking at the bookshelf is indeed full of books, I am afraid that this is the last point.

"Every page is rare and hard paper is yellow, and the pen is just like regular script.

There are so many discords in the world, I only regard the fragrance of ink as the fragrance of the night. "

In the evening, the East Market is brightly lit, and amidst the hawking of exotic treasures, scholars scramble to pass on a poem.

This is when a down-and-out scholar waited in Moxiangju for a whole day, but when he still didn't see the opening, he read it with his back to Moxiangju with tears in his eyes.According to others, he came here from Puzhou hundreds of miles away, specifically to buy Mo Xiangju's books.

However, Mo Xiangju disappointed him.

Chang'an Shilin had fallen out by this time.Out of righteousness, many scholars who had already bought books formed a group of three or five, and discussed raising some money to send to Mo Xiangju, only hoping to retain such a good place.

And the dozen or so bookstores that had been watching from the sidelines were overjoyed.

In the original Huaian Palace, Li Daoyan was throwing a big banquet.

The guests he is going to entertain today are all from different backgrounds.The head of the Deng family in the south of the Yangtze River, the head family of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and several other families, large and small, are all the backstage of the engraving workshop in Chang'an City.

They run the dozen or so bookstores in the city.

As for the reason for entertaining them, it was naturally that Moxiangju was about to close down. Everyone waited and watched for so long, and watched Luo Yan perform solo show for so many days, and this time they finally collapsed.As Luo Yan's enemies, how could they be unhappy.

The house was full of guests, and Li Daoyan was not polite. He raised his glass and happily said to these people: "Everyone, I have been waiting and watching for a long time, and the business has been affected a lot these days. Now that Moxiangju is finally closed, Luo Yangui I dropped my pants, hahaha."

Li Daoyan is not the only one who gets carried away.

The clan member of the Wang family in Taiyuan smiled and nodded: "These few days our family's property has not been acquired. The limelight has been taken up by this Moxiangju. Now I see him being crazy again. Hahaha, follow us Dou, Luo Yan is still a little tender."

"Yes, it's time for me to find out the source of the books in Moxiangju. If such good books are placed in our store, the price will increase by [-]% no matter what."

"Thirty percent? You are too petty. If you want me to say, fifty percent."

"That's right, we'll start taking action tomorrow. We've found out, and we'll make a fortune together in the future. Hahaha." Li Daoyan beamed happily.

The banquet lasted all night, but when the sun rose, they were sober, but their faces were reddened by the news that the servants rushed to report.

"What did you say? Moxiangju is open again?" Li Daoyan gritted his teeth and looked at the servant who came to report the news very unkindly.

Although this person is a little frightened, what should be said is: "Grandpa, it's true, Mo Xiangju opened the door at Sishi this morning, and it's been three quarters now."

"Asshole." Angrily, Li Daoyan kicked the table beside him.

Not to mention how annoyed Li Daoyan was, Moxiangju was full of people in front of the door at this time, but less than half of them actually went in to buy books.Because everyone is watching a sign hanging in front of the door.In other words, Moxiangju's rules.

"Anyone who enters the store to buy books does not have any requirements for basic learning. To buy "The Analects of Confucius", you need to report the book of basic learning, and you can buy it through a question and answer. Twelve classics, you need to answer three questions in "The Analects of Confucius" before you can buy it. In addition, each scholar can only purchase one set of books from this store. Other states and counties will gradually set up storefronts, and no longer accept the reason of purchasing on behalf of others.”

What a strange rule.

The words are very powerful, and there is a kind of thinking in it that you can't buy good things if you can't read.This embarrasses the scalpers. They have sold books before, and they have never heard of such a rule.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.Although they all took ill-gotten gains, Mo Xiangju's actions were undoubtedly aimed at them.

If this matter does not cause trouble, it will not work.

"Why, why does Mo Xiangju want to practice such bullshit rules?" A scalper took the lead, which immediately aroused many people's responses.

For a while, people who originally wanted to buy books, or those who wanted to buy for others, were a little reluctant at this time, and started yelling and cursing at the scalpers.So much so that at this moment, the entrance of Moxiangju is no different from that vegetable market.

Shouting and cursing sounded, and Ah Quan, as the shopkeeper, naturally had to ignore it.

He had already expected this situation.The day before yesterday, when Luo Yan gave him a face-to-face instruction, he focused on this matter.

"You, you, you, don't scold me first." Ah Quan came out, and stood in front of the one who scolded the most fiercely, pointing very unkindly: "It is you who are talking about, you still have the face to scold me, Mo Xiangju Song Si, don’t think I don’t know, you are a well-known knight-errant in Chang’an City. You have made a lot of money with my Mo Xiangju books these days.”

Song Si was very disdainful: "What's the matter with scolding? How I make money is my business. Even if you make money from your Mo Xiangju books, the buyer is willing, you can control it?"

Hearing Song Si's words, Ah Quan smiled: "That's right, I don't care how you make money. However, how I, Mo Xiangju makes money, is not up to a knight-errant like you to make irresponsible remarks. Let’s leave it here, these rules are just for you guys who don’t do their jobs.”

Song Si was enraged by Ah Quan's words.

"Okay, you are fine. I, Song Si, have been wandering in Chang'an City for so many years, and no one has ever dared to speak to me like this. What happened to Cheng Guogong's property, and I am still making trouble, brothers. Brothers, come on. Just smash this Moxiangju to me today."

Song Si spoke viciously, and immediately dozens of people crowded out from the crowd and stood behind him, waiting for his order to rush into Moxiangju to smash and loot.

Ah Quan did not show any signs of fear, but bowed to the people around him: "Everyone, Moxiangju seems to be in some trouble today. In order to avoid getting involved, I ask you to step back twenty or thirty steps."

"What did the shopkeeper say? These people are doing evil. Although we are hard to beat with two fists, it is still possible to protect the shopkeeper from being beaten." Immediately, a dozen or so scholars stood out from the crowd. Standing in front of Ah Quan without fear, he confronted these scalpers.

Although they were a little apprehensive, they believed that according to Dongshi's management, officials would soon take care of it.If Moxiangju was beaten up today, I'm afraid it will be closed even more in the future.No matter what you say, you have to buy a few books on the last day.Even the beating is worth it.

Who would have thought that Ah Quan looked at the crowd who had stepped back twenty steps and smiled, and said to the dozen or so scholars: "Okay, I will accept the kindness from you guys. Get the door out of the way. Mo Xiangju dares to say that, naturally he has his confidence."

After he clapped his hands, suddenly twenty or so strong men rushed out of the room, and beat the group of rangers headed by Song Si.And there is a lot of method in advancing and retreating. Although the number of scalpers is about three times that of theirs, they are still knocked down by them in a moment, and they can't get up again.

But at this time, the government office that manages the East City just sent officers over.

Ah Quan went up to meet him, bowed to the guards, secretly handed over some money, and then said: "Everyone, these rangers made trouble at my gate and were knocked down by my fellows. It's just a trivial matter, but I trouble you all for nothing." Come on, I'm really sorry."

The guards were very satisfied with Ah Quan's familiarity with personnel. They nodded, held the money in their hands tightly, and promised Ah Quan: "It turned out to be Song Si's little thieves. If he comes again in the future, you just go ahead and beat him. The servant is also a frequent visitor in the prison in Chang'an County, as long as no one is killed, we will be quiet."

Ah Quan smiled, sent the guards away, and then returned to the rangers who fell on the ground, and smiled: "If you want to make trouble, I don't even look, what is this place? Get out, don't dare to step in again." I, Mo Xiangju, take half a step, let's see how I deal with you."

Seeing Song Siyi fleeing in embarrassment, Ah Quan said to the onlookers: "The prices of books in Moxiangju in Chang'an City these days are a bit outrageous. Let me say it again, Moxiangju is indeed my father-in-law looking for books. A new method has been developed to greatly reduce the cost of printing books, which is why we have the courage to sell books at such a low price. Private mutual transactions are prohibited, so that real scholars can read good books, read books well, and can afford books .”

After a pause, he continued: "In order to tell you that this is true, Moxiangju will open a branch in Xishi soon, so that you don't have to walk too much."

Hearing such news, the scholars who were worried that Moxiangju would be closed suddenly shouted happily.

　Thank you Qing Tian Hate Hai Yi Guhong for your reward.
