Chapter 329 The Bookstore Opens a Branch

On this day, the people in Chang'an City discovered a strange thing: Huh?Why is there an extra Paowa bookstore here?Haven't seen it before?
It wasn't until later that they realized that this was a branch store!

Speaking of this Paowa Bookstore, there is no one in Chang'an City who does not know, and the wonderful stories in it have long been circulated.

But this bookstore hasn't published a new storybook for a while, so what's the point of opening a branch all of a sudden?Is there a new script?
Thinking of those loyal fans of Paowa Bookstore here, they immediately ran in to spy on the situation. Seeing that the shelves were full of new books, they went over to look at it: I hope there is a new book!To be honest, although those old books are considered wonderful, they will inevitably get tired of reading too much!

But when they casually took out the books on the shelf and were about to flip through them, they suddenly froze: Huh?Why does it seem that something is wrong?

Immediately they reacted: it's the title of the book!

Thinking of this, these people quickly closed the books in their hands, and when they saw the name of the book, they peed in fright on the spot: Damn, am I dazzled or blind?

Looking at the neatly written "The Analects" on the cover, a group of people became Spartan on the spot. . .

Although Baowa Bookstore broke the phenomenon of "you can't buy books if you have money", after all, it sells such things as scripts. Strictly speaking, scripts are not books, and they cannot be listed.

But the "Analects of Confucius" in my hand is a serious book!It's so serious that it can't be more serious!

"Shopkeeper... is this book really... for sale?" Immediately, a trembling person ran to the counter with the book and asked.

"My lord, you are joking." The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "Since we are open for business, it is natural to sell it."

Seeing the shopkeeper's nod, the scholar almost went crazy. . .

I'm not blind, I'm just dreaming!
Books like "The Analects of Confucius" can be bought with money. What is it if it is not a dream? !

Thinking of this, the scholar foolishly stretched out his hand and twisted his thigh. . .

"Hiss~~" Feeling the pain in his thigh, the scholar knew that he was not dreaming.

Then it went completely insane. . .

"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it! One day I can actually buy it!!!" The scholar was already fiddling with excitement.

Thinking about it before, if I wanted to read a book, I could only borrow it from a friend to copy it, and he was lucky, at least someone was willing to lend it to him; some people had nowhere to borrow it even if they wanted to.

Moreover, even if they can be borrowed, they are only one or two books that are not very mainstream. There is no place to borrow classics such as "The Analects of Confucius" so far!You can only inquire with this one and ask that question with the cheek when a group of literati gather on weekdays.

But what you inquired about from others might not be sure, and I didn't have a reference, so I didn't know whether the person who told him was right or not.

In addition, there was no one to explain it to me, so I could only guess again and again from the things I found out, who knows what it will look like in the end. . .

But now this Analects of Confucius is lying quietly in my hands, and I can take it away as long as I take out the money!

And this is a book from Immortal Bookstore, so what could be wrong?Don't worry about right or wrong at all!

"The shopkeeper... how much is this "The Analects of Confucius"?" the scholar asked the shopkeeper stutteringly, feeling both apprehensive and nervous.

Although according to the usual style of immortals, these books are very cheap, but the previous ones are just scripts after all, so how can they be compared with Confucian classics like "The Analects of Confucius"?
He doesn't expect it to be so cheap now, as long as he has enough money, he will immediately pay for it!If you don't have enough money, go back and borrow money!

"A set of one hundred cents." The shopkeeper replied with a smile.

"How much?!" The scholar thought he had heard it wrong, so his voice became a little louder.

"One hundred Wen." The shopkeeper was still smiling.

"Snapped!"

Without further ado, the scholar immediately took out a hundred coins and patted them on the counter: "Give me a set!"

After paying the bill and getting the book, the scholar immediately put the book in his arms and ran away, as if he was afraid of the shopkeeper's remorse. . .

He just stopped when he ran to the door: It seemed that there were other books beside him just now, but now there is "The Analects of Confucius", isn't it? . .

Thinking of this, he walked in again like a convulsion, and ran to the shelf to look through it. When he saw the name of the book clearly, the scholar went completely crazy.

5 minutes later
The scholar ran away like flying away with the handbag presented by the bookstore. Some people thought that someone was chasing him. . .

We must know that this bookstore is not the only one that opened on this day, and it is not just this scholar who buys books.

Just like this, it was passed on from ten to ten, and in less than two days, all the scholars in the entire Chang'an City went crazy.

Wang Yin's nearly ten bookstores could not satisfy the buying desire of these lunatics at all, and they were out of stock within an hour after opening the doors every day.

Not only that, but they also discovered something even more frightening: there were some strange symbols in the book, but they didn't recognize any of them anyway.After searching for a long time, I finally found the instructions on the title page.

After figuring out what these strange symbols were used for, these scholars were so excited that they almost cried: With these punctuation marks, they no longer have to worry about misunderstood the meaning of the sages!
It's so damn happy, I can't be dreaming!
During the period, some people saw the "Dictionaries of the Tang Dynasty" piled up in the corner, but after looking through them, they couldn't figure out what they were, and they didn't know what they were when they asked the shopkeeper. As a result, there are only a few bookstores now. The die-hard fan bought a few copies and went back to collect them.

Since the books are selling like crazy, the aristocratic family naturally also heard the news, and now everyone is frowning at home.

What the hell is Wang Yin doing?
This is really killing us!
"There is no dynasty with a thousand years, only a family with a thousand years." This sentence is not just a casual talk. What is the reason why the family can continue to this day?
money?food?Power?

Not at all!

It is this knowledge!

These days, books are basically in the hands of the aristocratic family, and there are only three or two lonely kittens that are handed down.

And books are not for sale, you can't buy them even if you have money!If a scholar wants to read a good book, he can only focus on the aristocratic family.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Since people read books for you, it is only natural for you to work for the family after you have achieved something in your studies.

Over time, almost all the scholars were taken away by the aristocratic family, and most of the officials in the court naturally could only come from the aristocratic family.
