The contract was reached and the tea was almost done.

Zhou Yi was about to say goodbye.

Manager He was squeamish and looked hopeful.

"Laby, is this sutra redundant? I really like this word and am willing to buy a book at a high price."

The ancients regarded calligraphy as art, and many calligraphy masters failed to pass the exam many times, and were respected by the world.

Those who seek calligraphy can use all their means to make their favorite calligraphy, such as stealing books instead of stealing, jumping into the river to threaten them, digging graves and stealing books, leaving behind many allusions.

Zhou Yi is far apart from calligraphy, but he is rare to have good calligraphy. In terms of imitation ability and elegant temperament, who can compare with monks?

It takes one day to copy a volume of Taoist scriptures. How much does it cost?

Three or five taels are not worth it, one or eighty taels are too unintentional, Zhou Yi wants to do a long-term business.

When Manager He saw Zhou Yi pondering and said unhappy, he thought it caused displeasure, but he regretted: "It's abrupt, how can the layman's calligraphy be stinking with money..."

"How many volumes are the shopkeeper planning to ask for?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Can you sell a volume every day?"

"A lay Buddhist is willing to sell words?"

Manager He looked surprised. Many scholars with self-conceited talent think that calligraphy cannot be with the stinky gold, otherwise it will be worthless.

"It's not easy to live in Kyoto. More than ten years have passed. I still live in an inn. I plan to buy a small courtyard recently."

Zhou Yi originally meant to copy books and sell them. Zhuangyuantang's business level is extraordinary. The customers are all over Kyoto literati. If you leave them to operate, the price will definitely not be bad.

After all, the inn is full of people and many things are inconvenient.

"Don't worry, layman, you can copy your calligraphy as a copybook, a volume of Taoist scriptures..."

Manager He planned for a moment and said, "It can be sold at least ten taels."

"Okay, every three or five days, I will send a book."

Zhou Yi's mouth was slightly raised. I was indeed very talented. I was able to achieve what I have today because of my own efforts.

The prisoner said that the big sale was only a few hundred taels, and there was still a possibility of failure. He copied the Taoist scriptures every day and could buy a house in Kyoto after being diligent for a while.

It’s better to make money by doing art!

"Shopkeeper He, I will have to worry more about it in the future."

"The layman was joking."

Manager He complimented: "This scripture copybook will be another major feature of Zhuangyuan Hall in the future. You can't come to your chin a few more times."

"Haha, say goodbye, let's talk about it next day."

"I'll tell you another day."

Everything is settled, each has its own gains, and hand it over and separate.

Zhou Yi left Zhuangyuan Hall and did not go to the Ministry of Welfare to click Mao. He went to the West Market to buy a big yellow-skin gourd.

I came all the way outside the city and asked passersby where Qing Cuifeng Mountain was. When I walked to the place where no one was, I turned into a light to fly.

The escape method is a necessary skill for monks to travel at home, kill and set fire, chase and escape. They master a mysterious escape method with speed far exceeding their peers. Stay away from their hearts when fighting, and there is nothing to do with high-quality strong people.

As long as your escape method flies fast, you can turn around and shout: First-class strong man, but that's it!

Zhou Yi has mastered many escape methods, most of which are ordinary in speed and have no special attributes.

The escape technique you are using now is called the Five Elements Escape Technique. The result of killing a demon from a side sect injustice Yi can shuttle through the acquired five elements.

It is already a rare and wonderful method to escape from the ground and enter water, rush through fire and metal, and pass through wood.

Of course, it is far worse than Tu Xingsun's earth escape technique. Not to mention the great magical power of the earth-success steel, it can block the Five Elements Escape Technique by just ordinary forbidden formations.

Cuiwei Mountain is more than 100 miles away from the capital, and in a moment Zhou Yi has reached the top of the mountain.

Ordinary people look for the spring water at the source of Bibotan. Except for the marked locations, they need to trace the rest slowly for a long time.

Zhou Yi stood on the top of the mountain and used the Qi technique to observe the terrain of the mountains. In a short while, he discovered the richest water spiritual energy.

A clear spring in the crack of the rock was gushing out of the spring water, and a stone tablet was erected not far away.

Two large characters are engraved on one side of the stone tablet: Qinquan.

On the other side are a few lines of small characters: The wise like water, the benevolent likes mountains, and the joy of mountains and rivers exists in a spring. It starts with the stubborn ambition to break through mountains and rocks, and it is ultimately at the level of ability that moves and stops...

The font is made of iron and silver hooks, with awe-inspiring momentum.

Unfortunately, some people seem to have deliberately erased the last few words, and they are confused. I don’t know which scholar left it.

Zhou Yi waved his hand and took a handful of spring water from the eyes of the cracked spring.

It is cold and sweet, and contains spiritual energy, which is almost more intense than that of Zhuangyuan Hall. However, the spring water of Zhuangyuan Hall is stored in a jar on weekdays, and the spiritual energy will dissipate over time.

Zhou Yi had a good drink first, took off the yellow gourd from his waist and filled it with spring water.

When I came to the Ministry of Things to be on duty, it was already five o'clock in the morning, about 10:30 am.

Zhang Cheng slept soundly in his arms against the chair, and he opened his eyes when he heard the sound.

Zhou Yi put the yellow gourd on the table: "Brother Zhang, this is the spiritual spring in Cuifeng Mountain. You always use well water on weekdays and waste good tea for nothing."

"What do you know about kid? Lao Zhang, I don't drink tea!"

Zhang Cheng twisted the gourd lid and sniffed it, and immediately smiled: "I'm so interested, it's the water of Qinquan."

"Brother Zhang also knows Qinquan. There is a stone tablet next to it. The words on it are quite interesting. Do you know who left it?"

Zhou Yi thought about the meaning of the inscription and the charm of calligraphy along the way, and he felt that the person who kept the inscription was extraordinary.

"Whoever keeps it? It's not a good thing anyway. Will serious people leave their names everywhere?"

Zhang Cheng snorted coldly and took out the tea set like a magic trick. It was a purple pot that he had never seen before.

Storage magic tool.

Zhou Yi said he was very envious, but unfortunately he couldn't afford it.

There are three or five thousand taels of houses in Kyoto, and you can work hard, and you can only be envious of the priceless storage magic weapon for the time being.

Zhou Yi kept comforting himself: "I learned the magical power of the Earth Demon and the Art of the Warriors, so I didn't look down on mere storage magic tools."

...

Manager He is very efficient in his work. Zhou Yi needs to bind the book, which will take two days.

Zhuangyuantang has the best craftsmanship, carefully stitched back.

"The Punisher's Talk" was also proofread by someone, and each article is not deleted or modified, and it enters the subsequent typography and printing stage.

Zhou Yi expressed his satisfaction and presented the newly copied two volumes of Taoist scriptures to Manager He.

Manager He immediately said that he would invite a few calligraphy works to appreciate them and make a name for themselves first, and the price could be doubled.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

The freshly released "The Punisher's Talk" is on sale.

In ancient society, communication was backward, there was little flow of people, and books were sold by stalls alone. Zhuangyuantang had at most customers were Kyoto scholars, and they also faced competition from many book shops.

The head of Zhuangyuantang has taken a different approach, relying on its excellent relationship with many scholars, the channels for selling books are no longer just in the book shop.

Whenever a new book is engraved and published, it will be sent to several familiar government offices and the most important Jixia Academy for free.

The four Daqian University Palaces, Luojing Jixia Academy, Hongzhou Yujing Academy, Wuzhou Longchuan Academy, and Jiangzhou Bailu Academy. The latter three are all in the southern prefectures, while the only one in the northern prefectures is Jixia Academy.

In the court, officials from Jixia Academy were equal to the sum of the other three major factors, which was enough to show their influence.

Students bring their new books to the palace and present them to the desks of various doctoral professors and teachers. After reading them, they will comment on their writings.

The praise of the teachers in Jixia Academy is enough to become the selling point of books.

The school teachers are also willing to write reviews for good books. Their reviews are sold well with books and flow into the hands of readers from all over the country, which is a famous way.

When encountering excellent books, doctors in the academy are rushing to write comments, and there will even be prefaces for great scholars.

The prefaces that have been famous for generations have also taken a ride, and are as famous as friends of poets and immortals.

The head of the Jixia Xuegong Shanzhu once wrote the preface to a volume of "The New School Five Classics" published by Zhuangyuantang. More than ten years have passed and it is still one of the best books sold on the market.

Yan Yuanzheng's name has thus directly surpassed the other three academies.
