Li Cheng wasn't really angry with Gu Celadon for a small matter, but it was because that girl had a bad temper and he had to behave like that, otherwise he would raise people worse.

At the moment, I was actually sorting out information in the study, and I went to the bookstore today and gained a lot.

The manuscript of Li Chengze's novel was indeed well written. He only asked the shopkeeper to read 10,000 words to see the doorway, and then invited him into the inner room to discuss in detail.

I don’t know where the Zhongshusi Library in Beijing is, and its scale is large and small. Li Cheng first inquired and compared it beforehand, and finally found a famous and big one.

Nowadays, any bookstore will sell some popular novels. There are many types, well-written and ordinary ones.

Some famous gentlemen usually write a novel, which is published and sold in many places at the same time.What's more, each library has its own private partner, who exclusively supplies the manuscripts of its own family.

The level of the pen fee is directly related to whether the novel sells well or the author's reputation.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore did not know Li Chengze, so he naturally asked him if he had written a book before and what his pen name was. Li Cheng didn't lie. He said he was a newcomer and never wrote.

The shopkeeper nodded and his eyes lit up.He observes the content of the ten thousand characters, the story is novel, the writing style is sophisticated, and the framework is clear. It is very good, not like a new handwritten thing.

Hearing Li Chengze's answer again, he felt that this person was indeed talented.

The shopkeeper already had the intention of cooperating with Li Chengze, so he asked him how many words are written in this book now, and how long he is going to write in total. If the number of words is enough, he can start to print the first volume first, so that he can be early. Available for sale.

But it turns out that there is no such concept and saying as serialized novels in this era. Almost all the novels are sold and sold in bookstores after they are finished.The most used is the format that the shopkeeper says, and the number of words is a certain number, or one hundred thousand or one hundred and fifty thousand words, or the first volume can be printed first.

Li Cheng almost ignored this question. He pondered for a while, and did not rush to answer the boss's words. After a while, he turned to ask: "Is there a mansion newspaper for sale here?"

The shopkeeper was a little surprised what Li Cheng did when he asked this question, but he answered in detail: "Of course, there are. Nowadays, there are two kinds of Dibao sold in Beijing. One is the Chaobao, also called the Beijing News. The content in it is mostly written. Some imperial government documents and occasional major events that happened in various prefectures and government offices; another is the people’s newspaper, which is also a tabloid that people often talk about. This kind of newspaper usually writes some miscellaneous trivial rumors, or Gossip and folk rumors. However, the state newspapers, which are controlled by the officials, are always there, and they are often read by the officials and even the people of Lord Marquis. The tabloids are just a small mess, often There is something today and nothing tomorrow, which is not worth mentioning. But I don’t know why the son asked this?"

Li Cheng already has specific ideas in his mind, and he only needs a cooperating person.

So he laughed loudly, and then said to the shopkeeper: "I might have a good idea here, I wonder if the shopkeeper would like to listen to it?"

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, staring at Li Cheng for a few seconds, and then he smiled, "Listen with respect."

When Xiao Er added another pot of hot tea, he stepped back, both of them were more serious.

The cooperation Li Cheng wants to seek is simple.

Derived from the serialization mode of novels, he wants to publish a weekly newspaper, which can also be said to be an interaction. The daily newspaper is to successfully launch the serialization novel mode.

A new model was born. The business opportunities in it should not be underestimated. It is the merchants who will pursue profit and the possibility of cooperation if they want to make money.

Li Cheng explained all he wanted to express in simple and incisive words.

This newspaper uses the novel he is currently holding to test the waters, and adopts the mode of publishing once a week, both to promote the novel and the Di Bao.

The shopkeeper is a wise man, and Li Cheng just peeled off the skin of the benefits, and he could quickly discover the tender meat inside.

For example, if such a newspaper is really published, a newspaper can publish not only one novel, but three or four articles at the same time. Not only novels, but other articles can also be published.

Thinking further down, there will be more that can be brought out.

Moreover, the shopkeeper was able to help him think of something unexpected based on some restrictions.

I have to say that this is a huge temptation.

The shopkeeper has never heard of such a statement, no, it can be said that there is no such thing in the entire capital.

Since Li Chengze put forward this idea, the shopkeeper fell into contemplation. It is undeniable that the more he wanted to analyze it, the brighter his eyes appeared.

Businessmen, as long as you let him see the benefits inside, you don't have to worry about him not cooperating.

The shopkeeper was actually heart-stricken, but he didn't rashly agree to it. After all, there are still many details that need to be considered.

Li Cheng is not surprised, a cautious and intelligent person is more suitable for cooperation than a reckless stupid person.

Therefore, the two met three days later, when the shopkeeper would give Li Chengze an answer.

Li Cheng knew it in his heart, and he could tell from the attitude of the shopkeeper that this matter had already become more than half.

The conversation was considered very pleasant.

It's just that he didn't expect it to go well, and that little wife would be uneasy.

With such a little effort, things can happen.

But Li Cheng's entire time and thoughts are now being used for writing novels and running newspapers, so he didn't ask more about Gu Qingci.

Originally, Li Cheng intended to coax Gu Celadon a few words so that she could be born in peace, but he didn't have much leisure time.

Gu Celadon didn't wince, and came to anger at him, obviously because he hadn't eaten enough to teach him and forgot to form.

Li Cheng simply took the opportunity to air her.

The little space in the carriage was used by him to figure out how to cooperate and make money, but Gu Celadon was so careful that he couldn't see through Li Chengze, so he was embarrassed by his calm and serious appearance along the way.

As soon as Gu Celadon got home, he ran to the room to cry and did not dare to trouble him. Li Cheng went back to the room to deal with the matter and wrote a memo on the paper, and everything went smoothly.

After writing a paragraph, I put the brush in my hand and realized that my stomach was a little hungry.

I just wanted to call Yuan Bao to get some food. By coincidence, I heard the kid shouting under the window: "Master, my grandmother is here."

When the conversation ended, Gu Celadon lifted the curtain and raised his foot to enter the door.

Followed by Gu Yu Xiaoman, the two girls carried a large plate of hot meals and placed them carefully on the Kang table.

Li Cheng was a little surprised.

Gu Celadon was still depressed. She waved her hand to make the girl retreat. Only the two of them were left in the room. She thought about what Madam Zhang had just said, and then she said, "It’s good to make a table in the kitchen. When I came to the noodles, I thought that Xianggong had not eaten any food at noon, and he was definitely hungry, so I asked a place to eat."

Of course there is nothing wrong with having a meal. Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, then sat down with his robe.

Just suddenly, I remembered what happened just now.

Gu Celadon was making trouble outside. He didn't ask the person involved, let alone Yu Chuan's girl.

But when they were out of the shop, Yu Zhenxuan's shopkeeper asked the guy to chase it out and gave a gift, and also bluntly emphasized that it was to "compensate" Miss Gu.

Knowing who Li Cheng is from Gu Celadon, but still taking the opportunity to tell him about this matter, this matter is done a bit deep.

Could it be that you want them to have a conflict?

Li Cheng was amused in his heart and shook his head secretly, feeling that this idea was too much.

He knocked on the table unconsciously, thinking.

For a moment, the sound of the rhythmic knuckles made Gu Celadon a little restless.

She glanced at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but ask: "Don't you like these?"

Li Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, and said, "No, eat." In conscience, the dishes in Gu's celadon kitchen are much better than those in the east courtyard.

Li Cheng was really hungry and ate two bowls of rice.

Li Cheng wouldn't fail to see that Gu Celadon's thoughtful thoughts had been so hard last time. Perhaps there was still a shadow in his heart, scared, so he was afraid to offend him.

In today’s case, Gu Celadon took the initiative to lay the groundwork for herself, which is considered soft.

Li Cheng, however, intends to take this opportunity to deal with the matter together, so as not to go back and forth again or delay for a few days, which is too annoying.

He squeezed Gu Celadon's wrist and led her to the inner room to let people sit down.

Before asking the question, I took out the red jade pomegranate hairpin given by Yu Zhenxuan and shook it in front of Gu Qingci before saying, "Do you know what this is?"

Gu Celadon bit her lip.

Li Cheng sneered, holding her fate and raising his face, "I know it, the treasurer of Yu Zhenxuan gave you a gift, and I will give you a gift. Let me talk about the little girl, how did other shops'neglect' you? We need to let the buddy Baba chase our heels and deliver this thing."

Gu Celadon flushed.

Li Cheng remained unmoved, and said in a light tone: "I will not bully you. You will tell me what happened in the morning."
