Datang: Father, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 141 The Classmate Was Shocked

There have been a lot of rumors in the imperial city recently, all saying that staying with his Ninth Prince means that those who are motivated will not be motivated, and those who are studious will be playful.

The Imperial Academy originally did not allow students to go out during classes, but incidents of "disappearing" occur from time to time.

Some students even dared to contradict their parents when they went back!
The group of parents in the imperial court were screaming with anger, what else can they say, they didn't all learn from the cunning Ninth Prince!
Li Zhi was now thinking about whether he could send his younger brother from the Imperial College to fight in this so-called driving competition...to blind the eyes of those adults in one fell swoop!
"It's not impossible to achieve this... I'll find someone when I go back!"

Li Zhi quickly made a decision, but he sneaked out of the city now, naturally he had other things to do.

The owner of the bookstore asked Cheng Chumo to bring news that the first batch of "The Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" had been printed. It has only been five days, and the efficiency is quite high.

Li Zhi came out alone, and his small stature was quite conspicuous on the street. Many passers-by suspected that he had lost his family, but before anyone came up to ask, Li Zhi accelerated his pace and walked quite a distance.

When he arrived at the bookstore, the boss greeted him with a smile and invited him to the private seat in the back room.

"Young master, why didn't your brother come today?"

"If he can't come out, it's the same when I come."

The boss nodded, didn't say much, and started to introduce the situation.

"Speaking of which, it is really thanks to the young master. After listening to your suggestion, we removed the previous engraving block and turned it into movable type printing. The time for casting the plate was greatly reduced.

It was originally estimated that it would take at least seven days, but in just five days, the first edition has already come out. "

The boss took out the finished book and said, "The paper is made of high-quality soft paper, bound with strong ink thread, and the first batch of one hundred copies will be printed."

Li Zhi's eyes moved, his expression was quite strange, "Only one hundred copies for the first release?"

Seeing his expression, the boss smiled awkwardly, "Young master, you can see that he comes from a wealthy family, and he doesn't understand the suffering of the people."

The boss said, "It will take some time to sell a hundred copies, and I think your books have potential, otherwise you won't be able to distribute a hundred copies!"

Books are a proper luxury in this era, and visiting a bookstore can be equated with visiting a high-end luxury store.

Even many aristocrats are unwilling to spend this unjustly money. What books are missing at home are borrowed from other people's homes, and they just copy a copy.

After hearing what the boss said, Li Zhi realized that this is a pirated version that everyone is fair and honest!
If one hundred books are sold, they will soon be copied into hundreds, or even thousands of copies!

This is only copied when people value your book, otherwise no one will pay attention to it!
"In this era, writing a book is a dead end!"

Li Zhi murmured and sighed regretfully, cutting off a way to get money.

The boss said, "What did the young master say?"

"It's nothing."

Li Zhi then changed the subject, "When will the book be printed and released?"

Speaking of the point.

The boss's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his voice, "I believe the book will sell if it is released directly, but some gimmicks are always better.

What is written in the book are heroes from all walks of life ten years ago, most of them are still alive now, wasn’t it Cheng Zhijie’s beloved son who followed you last time..."

Li Zhi said, "What do you mean?"

"If he can make his name famous, he can even be present when the book is sold... the effect will definitely be very good!"

The boss knows the way of business very well. General Cheng Yaojin of Youwuwei has a high reputation in the world. If his son Cheng Chumo can come, he can attract quite a lot of attention.

Li Zhi felt that it was a bit troublesome, but he still nodded,

"Let me tell him, it's only tomorrow. Of course it's good if he comes. If you don't come, you can sell it directly."

The boss had no choice but to respond, "OK..."

But in the end, he was still a little bit unwilling, "Which family are you from, young master? If you are also a descendant of heroes, why don't you..."

Li Zhi said decisively, "Don't think about it, I can't come here in person."

The boss sighed regretfully and could only give up.

After the matter was settled, Li Zhi planned to go back. The investigation in the palace was very tight recently, and he couldn't run around.

When he was about to leave, Li Zhi saw a copy of "Dream of Mandarin Ducks" standing alone in the most conspicuous place of the bookstore, which looked like a real treasure.

"I'll take this book home and read it. How much is it?"

Li Zhi felt that he needed to understand the real market.

The boss waved his hand generously, "We are a cooperative relationship. If you like it, you can take it away!"

Li Zhi took it away bluntly.

When he sneaked back to the Guozijian, the next patrol came. It was really dangerous, and he moved to the limit!
Li Zhi looked at the book he brought back from the bookstore, only two pages, and threw it aside!
too exaggerated!Prose is not like prose, let’s narrate, and it’s full of lyricism, the writing style is showing off, but the story takes two full chapters before the protagonist walks from the bedside to the door!

This is the legend of the early days, which cannot be called a novel, it is simply horrible.

Li Zhi doesn't want to think too much now, and honestly waits for the results of tomorrow's sale.

"Ninth Prince, where have you been? No one came to look for you just now. Come out to play badminton."

At this time, there was a shout outside. It was Li Ming, a classmate, standing outside the house and shouting.

Li Zhi walked out, looked at him, and immediately felt that Li Ming was pretty good.

"Stop playing badminton, I'll teach you a new one."

The eyes of several older boys immediately lit up, "His Royal Highness, what else do you have for fun?"

"drive."

"drive?!"

Apparently, the young boys were stunned, what is this.

But it sounds like it's pretty good...

There were ready-made horses and carts in the Imperial College, so Li Zhi found eight horses and tied them all to one cart, which was the Eight Chariots, and parked in a wide and remote aisle.

Li Ming was a little scared, he still had a bit of common sense, so he quickly stopped Li Zhi.

"His Royal Highness, eight horses, how can we control them? Let's not play so hard, two horses are enough!"

Li Zhidao, "What's the point of two horses? If you want to play, you have to play with difficulty."

There was a bitterness in Li Ming's smile, this time he was really cowardly, "Don't make trouble, Your Highness, the eight horses are out of control and going on a rampage, there will definitely be a big accident!"

Li Zhi said, "I don't ride a horse."

Huh, Li Ming let out a sigh of relief, it turns out that His Highness has already hired a coachman, so it's okay.

"You are the one to drive the horse." Li Zhi said immediately.

"Um?!"

Li Ming immediately looked left and right, and finally his eyes widened.

Your Highness, what are you kidding?How could he do it? He only learned how to ride a horse recently!
"You can do it, try it and you'll know, you didn't realize it yourself, you are a driving genius!"

Li Zhi's eyes were burning, and he said solemnly, "As soon as you get on the carriage, you will be able to understand, and I can see your talent!"

He can indeed see it, because he will cheat Li Ming through the system, and the talent is not up to him.

Although it will cost some special points for other than the host, and it can only be done once, but Li Zhi thinks it is harmless.

Li Ming then got into the car half-believingly, and the moment he held the rein, he didn't feel anything.

But in the next moment, he suddenly froze.

"This is!"

He couldn't help but bewildered, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

A strange yet familiar feeling suddenly came to his mind, holding the rein, Li Ming felt that he had turned into a light, perfectly integrated with the whole carriage!

"I really have such a talent!"

Li Ming is convinced that the Ninth Prince did not lie to him!
Amazing!

But he immediately looked up to the sky and screamed, "But why is my talent a groom!!"

With an extremely depressing cry, Li Ming was about to faint.
