After reading all of them, Mrs. Zheng sighed for a long time, and said seriously: "Erlang, this movable type printing technique was really developed by you."
"yes!"
Du Qi said: "Mother, this movable type printing technique can print articles on a large scale. In this way, it saves the hard work of copying, and can also sell books in batches. This is the trump card I prepared for the bookstore. From now on, in my bookstore, once an article is published, it can be sold in large quantities, and it will no longer be a simple copy."
Zheng said: "Your plan does have some truth. And it is also correct that you came to find mother. This movable type printing technique is not easy, and you must have a craftsman you can trust in your family. Only in this way can you rest assured that it will not be spread. go out."
Du Qidao: "What my mother said is that it is exactly so, so I came to you in person."
Mrs. Zheng thought for a while, and then said: "Mother specially set up a workshop for you for the production of movable type printing, and set it up in the house, so as not to cause problems. Well, I will draw a few for you alone to follow Du The craftsmen at home, let them prepare movable type for you."
"Thank you mother!"
After Du Qi heard it, he was relieved.
With Zheng's arrangement and the production of movable type, he was completely at ease.
Du Qi thought for a while, and then said: "Mother, in order to make the movable type easier to make in the future, the more characters the better. Only in this way can it be printed easily."
Zheng said: "Mother understands!"
What is recorded in Du Qi's movable type printing is to make woodcut movable type, because it is the most convenient and quickest nowadays. Although the use of copper movable type, or even lead movable type, has better stability and the movable type is not easily affected. But at present, wooden movable type is the most convenient way, and it can be used in a short time.
In fact, as far as Du Qi knows, wax paper can also be made and printed with ink by using a roller, which makes the printing faster. However, this kind of production cannot be produced in a little time.
Nowadays, it is best to use wooden movable type.
Mrs. Zheng thought for a while, and then said: "You give mother two days, and after two days, I will hand over a large batch of movable type to you. In short, try to make as many as possible, and try to ensure that you can use it. But during this period, you also It must be in the house. Only in this way can adjustments be made at any time."
Du Qidao: "My son will stay in the yard as much as possible. If you have something to do, just let me know."
"good!"
Mrs. Zheng responded directly.
After Du Qi finished handling the movable type printing, he got up and left, returning to his yard. What he has to do now is to write as many manuscripts of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as possible, so that he can throw money at any time and come back.
Speaking of money, as soon as he returned to the bookstore, he mobilized the personal connections he had run for many years and invited someone to quickly copy it. In addition, engraving is also hired. Such engraving and making templates are actually extremely difficult, the production is slow, and it is easy to wear and tear.
Therefore, in a short period of time, to carry out publicity, it can only be copied.
However, the money needs to be prepared again, so woodblock printing is also an option. This time when Qian came again, he also went all out and mobilized all his connections.
Within two days, he had someone transcribe nearly 300 copies of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and then put them on the shelves for sale. In a short period of time, these books were all sold.
In addition to transcribing and selling books, the templates for engraving have been completed and mass printing is carried out. However, the font printed by this template is far less clear than the hand-copied version.
But it is just barely able to see.
What is sold today, there are manuscripts and block printing, are still backlogged in bookstores. After the copies of Romance of the Three Kingdoms were sold, there was no response at first, so Qian Zailai was very disturbed.
Because he didn't know what the response to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" would be.
True, he thought it would be hot.
But when the matter started, Qian Zailai still felt uneasy in his heart. After all, the books have already been sold out, and many people have gotten the books, but what kind of scene will be in the end, and the money will come back again.
Afraid of failure!
Once it fails, it's over.
However, now that the money comes back, it is to faithfully perform Du Qi's task. Therefore, he continued to let people continue to print, continuously produced books, and printed more first four chapters of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In the afternoon around Shen time.
"Step! Step!"
Just at this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside the bookstore. Only one businessman, reader?? is already rushing in. In the crowd, everyone looked at Qian Zailai with an excited expression.
One of them quickly said, "Master Qian, how many times have you written this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? In the end, how many times will there be? Sigh, I've only watched the first four times, and I'm waiting for the fifth time? If you run a bookstore, there must be a fifth time. Shopkeeper Qian, since you have it, then show it, and I will see it first."
"This time, I'll order a hundred copies."
"Treasurer Qian, but there is more content in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". I have watched the first four episodes, and I can't help it."
"Treasurer Qian, here I come again."
"Treasurer Qian, I'm here again, old brother."
One after another, they kept opening their mouths.
All the faces were filled with bright smiles and expectations. Because they saw the value of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they all came one by one, and many of them were also scholars, and they came to buy books again.
These people are ready to buy more, and ask for the fifth round by the way. Although at the end of this book, it is said that the fifth chapter will be updated in three days, but everyone can't wait.
Qian came again to see people swarming in one by one, especially this time there were so many people. For a moment, the entire hall was almost crowded. He knew that the books on Romance of the Three Kingdoms were completely popular.
Even if there are only four times, it is still attractive. Countless people came here admiringly after watching it, and these people were all affected.
"Quiet!"
After Qian Zailai saw the situation, he shouted to make everyone quiet.
At this moment, the money comes back again, reaching the pinnacle of life. Even though his temples were already gray, and even though he was down and out, at this moment, with his head held high, facing everyone who was about to buy books, he was extremely excited.
It's done!
When he came to the bookstore again, it was completely popular.
Because of the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when he came to the bookstore again, it was extremely popular.
After a while, Qian Zailai looked around at everyone and said, "Everyone, the follow-up of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been marked at the end of the fourth chapter. When the book was sold two days ago, it said that there will be a new chapter in three days. Chapter update. It¡¯s only been two days now, please be patient. When the time comes, the chapter will continue to be updated, and you can see the follow-up content.¡±
After a pause, Qian Zailai said again: "However, although I don't have the latest chapters here, I still have engravings and printed copies of the first four chapters. You can also buy them back and resell them. After all, most of you Most people come to buy in bulk, and the price is negotiable.¡±
Among the people who came, some specialized in reading books, and some were businessmen. As for the merchants, the main thing is to buy more again.
As soon as the words of money come back came out, everyone spoke again.
For those who have bought the book, they are already fascinated by it and are enjoying it. I want to keep reading. Suddenly, I couldn't wait for the latest chapter, so I was extremely eager.
For businessmen, a popular book means an opportunity to make money, so one by one is even more eager, hoping to get the latest chapters in their hands and sell them quickly.
"Treasurer Qian, you are a book seller. We all know that booksellers have some back-to-back books. This "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", you must also have a back-to-back book in your hands. Take out the latest chapters."
"Yes, why procrastinate."
"If you do this, it's a complete waste of time, don't waste time, you take it out. We will buy as many as you have."
One by one they kept talking.
Everyone is talking.
Looking at the excited crowd, Qian Zailai was both happy and helpless, and explained again: "Everyone, I really don't have any more chapters here. Luo Guanzhong contributed the manuscript to me, and I also made an appointment with him. Now, there is no new chapter. Chapters, I can only wait. As for the first four chapters you want to buy, I can sell them to you. Sigh, if you want to make money, will you refuse?"
He explained earnestly.
After a while, everyone was helpless, and the readers left. However, some booksellers who run bookstores have begun to purchase printing in large quantities. Although they can buy a copy and go back to make it themselves, they can engrave and make it separately, which is too time-consuming, and it is more appropriate to simply buy in large quantities.
For a while, all the more than 3,000 copies of the first four chapters of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the bookstore were out of stock.
Sold out.
?One by one, the booksellers left with books, and each wanted to sell them. Counting the money again, smiles bloomed on his face, especially after everyone left, booksellers came to inquire one after another, and he sold more than a thousand books.
By evening, the books he had engraved and printed were almost out of stock.
When the money came again, he ordered the craftsmen to continue printing, while he closed the door and went to Du's house. Now his bookstore, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is selling extremely well, and he wants to tell Du Qi the good news, so that Du Qi is also happy. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)sp;
