He didn't handle official business himself, but sneaked into the south study room.
Target: Mysterious manuscript.
Tang Tianyuan acted as calm as usual yesterday, as if it was none of his business whether the manuscript was or not. It was entirely because there was a Zheng Shaofeng who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. Tang Tianyuan knew that if he took care of Tan Lingyin, Zheng Shaofeng would definitely cheat, so he might as well wait for that guy to leave and settle accounts with Tan Lingyin.
Climb over walls, pick locks, all in one go. Tang Tianyuan tossed around in Tan Lingyin's room and finally found the small wooden box he had seen yesterday.
There was indeed a stack of manuscripts in the wooden box, which had been rearranged.
Tang Tianyuan flipped through the manuscript and was so angry that he almost vomited blood. That girl's courage is really getting fatter and fatter, she dares to write anything!
Burn it, must burn it!
Although it was wrong to steal, Tang Tianyuan couldn't care less. Holding the small wooden box, he was about to leave when he suddenly thought of a serious question: what if it burned? This method treats the symptoms rather than the root causes. Maybe Tan Lingyin was out of breath and wrote something even more extreme?
calm. Tang Tianyuan narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
If you want to play, this official will play a big game with you.
☆、Chapter 31
Qingchen said about the imperial envoy. She just patted her chest and assured that Tang Tianyuan would definitely be happy with this book.
Tan Qingchen had no choice but to follow her, and asked for the typesetting first, and printed a hundred sample books to see the effect.
All printing uses movable type. Arrange the anti-text words made from the clay and put them on the iron plate. After adding the special medicine, they are roasted with fire. When it cools down, the movable type is fixed on the iron plate. After use, it can be roasted with fire again, and can be removed again.
Gutang Bookstore is a well-known big bookstore. Its printing room is very spacious, and it does a lot of movable type. It can print several books at the same time. Considering the rent issue, Yinfang and the bookstore are separated by three streets, in a secluded alley. The printing house is bright and bright on all sides. The guys work hard during the day and stop work at night. Only one person is left to watch the night here to prevent accidents such as fire.
Before mass printing was carried out, Tan Lingyin first promoted the new book, and made herself into a hype. Booksellers from all over the country were excited and greeted Gutang Bookstore. Tan Qingchen showed them the sample books, and the booksellers were very satisfied. This one required a few hundred copies, the other two thousand, and there was a big bookseller who monopolized the three provinces, and opened his mouth to ask for ten thousand.
Everyone knows that with Miao Miaosheng's reputation, no matter what he writes, he has no worries about not being able to sell it.
With so many books, it is natural that each book cannot be written with poems, otherwise Tan Lingyin's hand will be broken. Therefore, we had to wait for the first batch of books to be sold, and then publish the poetry version of the book.
There was a bookseller from the capital, called Boss Qi, who asked for a thousand copies. He didn't have much money, but he was very sincere. After arriving in Tongling, he found an inn and didn't leave, waiting for the printing of this batch of books to be completed. He also mentioned to Tan Qingchen several times that the ones that need to be printed first, including the sample books printed at the beginning, the price is not a problem, just to make a good omen.
Tan Qingchen agreed to him in the face of money.
What Tan Lingyin is most worried about is Tang Feilong's interference. She covered the sample books very tightly, and sent additional staff to guard the printing room. What she thought was that as long as she released the batch of books safely, it would be too late for Tang Feilong to get angry.
She still didn't believe that he could be angry.
Tang Feilong did not disappoint her. He heard the wind and sent someone to set fire outside the printing room. Fortunately, the night watchman found it in time and destroyed it.
Tan Ling was angry and asked him to argue, but he shamelessly denied it. Tan Lingyin didn't dare to irritate him at this time, so she had to swallow her breath first.
Tang Tianyuan watched Tan Lingyin away. He walked to the rosewood shelf and removed the top row of books, revealing a large rectangular box standing up behind the books. Tang Tianyuan took out the box, opened it, and there were a lot of movable clay characters neatly coded in it. The movable type gāngān is clean, and at first glance it is newly burned.
All movable type is the same word.
Tang Tianyuan touched the movable type with a smile. The arson was just a plank road, and it was pretended to be seen by Tan Lingyin. If he really wants to do something, the result is bound to be successful.
Tan Qingchen contacted booksellers all over the country and wholesaled paper according to the approximate number of prints. When he was fully prepared, he started construction. There were already some impatient bookstores who drove the carriage to wait outside the printing room. The new book was printed and shipped directly by car, which not only facilitated them, but also reduced the pressure on the inventory of Gutang Bookstore.
After so many days of work, I can finally take a breather. Tan Lingyin returned to the county office and slept with her head down for a day. The next day she met the county magistrate while walking Tangtang. She was a little proud, "Sir, I wrote a new book and want to give it to you." Xiang's book was handed over.
Tang Tianyuan took the book and said with a smile, "Thank you, I will definitely read it carefully."
Tan Lingyin thought he took the wrong medicine.
In any case, it was a big deal for her, and she had a very relaxing day.
But her readers have gone mad.
Miao Miaosheng's new book, the heroine's name is Miao Miao! An extremely lecherous female monster! This female monster molested Tang Feilong in various ways, and even hit him hard on the overlord! Ah ah ah ah ah!
Readers are baffled. Their first reaction was that the book must be fake, not written by Miao Miaosheng, but it did come from Gutang Bookstore, and it was sold by all major booksellers in the city. personally brought it back from the Gutang Bookstore.
Can it be fake?
Booksellers also murmured. This was not the case with the sample books they had received before. Could it be that they were afraid that they would not buy the book and deliberately use the fake version to fool people, and only finally got the real version? But why does Miao Miaosheng insist on substituting his name for the heroine?
If you don't know the origin of Miao Miaosheng, just reading this book will make you curious, but it is also very interesting. But Miaomiaosheng didn't add his own name and flirted with Tang Tianyuan in all kinds of blatant ways, which was a bit inauthentic. Tang Tianyuan belongs to everyone. If you monopolize him like this, what should we do? Oh, we all know that you adore Tang Tianyuan, but can't you be more subtle? Have to go to battle in person? This food looks so ugly!
And, look at what's written in his book. A big man, imagining that he is a woman, doing such shameless deeds, but also stubbornly bowing to the overlord Tang Tianyuan... What a complete pervert!
Such a pervert even said madly that "Tang Tianyuan himself will fall in love with this book after reading it", which is really shameless to a certain level!
This book has been scolded from beginning to end. Because of its shameless level, it is amazing, but it actually promotes sales. This batch of books sold out quickly. Booksellers are happy to see it, so they don't care about the problem of being fooled by sample books, and they are busy contacting Gutang Bookstore. overprint.
Tan Qingchen only discovered the problem when a group of people ran to the gate of the ancient hall to scold.
These days, more and more people are literate, and those who read the book are not necessarily scholars, but may also be fortune-tellers, storytellers, opera troupes, or brothels. These people are not as good-faced as scholars, and they will yell at them when they are unhappy.
Tan Qingchen listened to the words "Miao Miaosheng" on the left and "Miao Miaosheng" on the right, and was a little confused for a while. He felt that the problem was probably in the new book, so he took it over and looked at it carefully.
Then he was shocked.
Just at this time, Tan Lingyin came to the ancient hall and saw a crowd of people crowded at the door. Others only know that she is the younger brother of the owner of the bookstore, and is now working at the yamen gate.
People in the yamen, if they can not sin, they will not sin. So the big guy ignored Tan Lingyin and continued to scold Miao Miaosheng.
Tan Lingyin was also confused. When Tan Qingchen saw her, he quickly pulled into the bookstore, closed the store door, screened out the man, and took out the book to show her.
Tan Lingyin felt like she was dreaming, "Where did this book come from? It looks too similar. Which one is it? It's interesting to change the monster's name to mine?"
Tan Qingchen told her regretfully: This is printed by our shop.
Tan Lingyin was anxious, "Impossible, you know, the name of the female monster in my original book is 'Rong Qian', and I'm not sick, so I wrote this kind of thing with my own name."
Tan Qingchen frowned and calmly thought about which link might have gone wrong.
Tan Lingyin put her hands on her hips and paced back and forth impatiently, "This is too strange, obviously the sample book is good, you and I have read it. By the way, what about the sample book?"
Tan Qingchen was stunned, the sample books had already been sold to that Boss Qi.
Tan Lingyin patted her head and nodded, "Yes, yes, I forgot, the sample book has been sold. What is the name of that bookstore of Boss Qi?"
Tan Qingchen wrote two words on the paper: Sini.
The surname is Qi, and the bookstore is called "Sni Bookstore". What is the connection, Qi Sini? mad at you?
Tan Lingyin stopped and said coldly, "Someone is plotting against us."
Tan Qingchen had already understood it, but it was too late.
Tan Lingyin frowned, who is it? When this kind of thing happens, there are no more than two kinds of people: either competitors or enemies. Judging from the modus operandi, that person should be familiar with the process of printing books, so it is likely a competitor. But the enemy is not impossible. For example, the one from the county government office, when the bad water comes up, the hooligans can't hold it.
The people outside were unwilling to quarrel, and began to smash the door with stones, ping-pong-pong, which made the two people in the room even more upset.
Tan Lingyin held her forehead and thought helplessly, after this incident, her first-life famous name was considered a jiāo generation.
In any case, we must find out the culprit behind the scenes. Tan Lingyin couldn't figure it out for a while, so she had to go back to the county government first, planning to ask Tang Feilong a question.
As the weather turns cooler, the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms in the courtyard gradually, and a strong aroma floats in the air.
Tang Tianyuan was standing in the courtyard, reading aloud. He hasn't studied so hard for a long time since he passed the exam.
He was reading the book "Tang Feilong's Journey to the West" given to him by Tan Lingyin. When Tan Lingyin came in to look for him, he happened to read the paragraph where Miaomiao was about to bow down to the overlord Tang Feilong.
To be honest, everyone is a civilized person, and Tan Lingyin didn't write any explicit plots in the book, but the words "the overlord is hard on the bow" already made people blush.
Tan Lingyin was so frightened, "Stop reading..."
Tang Tianyuan saw Tan Lingyin and waved, "Master Tan, come here."
Tan Lingyin walked up to him. She just heard him read those, and it made it seem like she had really molested him, so she was shy and forgot to ask questions for a while.
"Look up." Tang Tianyuan said.
Tan Lingyin could look up at him.
Tang Tianyuan looked at Tan Lingyin's blushing face, and suddenly he laughed, his smile was like a flower. He lightly tapped Tan Lingyin's forehead with his index finger, and said in a low voice, "Rogue."
☆、Chapter 32
Tang Tianyuan said, "Rogue."
Tang Tianyuan said, "Hu wrote the book and arranged it for me, and he had to show it to me."
Tang Tianyuan said, "Are you just thinking about this official?"
Tang Tianyuan said...
Tan Lingyin was embarrassed and angry, hugged her head and rolled away.
Tang Tianyuan looked at her flustered back and smiled. This girl is cute even when she is shy.
Well, can make her more shy and shy in the future.
Cantaloupe came out of the house. Just now she heard that the young master was reading those bastard books like no one else in the courtyard, his face was blushing with shame, and hurriedly went into the house to hide, only looking at the young master through the window. Later, saw Tan Lingyin came uninvited, and then left in a panic. Cantaloupe knew that the young master must have made fun of her.
Cantaloupe is not happy. Her ideal young lady should be a generous, dignified and demure lady, not a crazy woman like Tan Lingyin. That kind of person only relied on being beautiful and frivolous to make the man pay more attention to her, but it's just a novelty.
