Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 227
The next day, Zhang Qingfeng came to Mr. Zhao's house.

At this time, Mr. Zhao's family still has many people copying the novels of Fengshen Romance here.

In order to transcribe the novel, with Mr. Zhao's home as the center, almost all the neighborhood houses within a radius of [-] meters have become places where transcribers gather.

As people from outside Lin'an also came to transcribe, Mr. Zhao's house could not accommodate so many people. After all, Mr. Zhao's house was so big, and if it rained, it would accommodate fewer people, so Mr. Zhao's house could not accommodate so many people. The houses and courtyards of the scribes became the places where the scribes gathered.

Zhang Qingfeng was very speechless. If this continues, this place will become an industrial chain of novel transcription.

Most of these copyists are there to make money. A person who can read and write can copy [-] words a day, earning almost [-] Wen.

Don't underestimate the five hundred coins, you must know that Mr. Zhao's apprentice, Zhang Qingfeng's elder brother Tian Zhi, only earned three hundred coins a day when he started storytelling in the Goulan.

On the wharf, a coolie only earns 100 yuan a day.A woodcutter cut a few bundles of firewood and sold them in the city, and he could only sell them for more than [-] Wen a day.

But now, as long as you can write here, you can earn at least a few hundred dollars a day. If you can copy fast and copy [-] words a day, you can make a lot of money.

It can be seen from this that it is not surprising that Mr. Zhao's family has developed like this.

On this day, Zhang Qingfeng called many scribes together, and then took out his second novel - The Legend of the White Snake.

"Everyone, The Legend of the White Snake is the second novel I wrote, and the quality of this novel is no worse than Fengshen Yanyi."

Zhang Qingfeng said to everyone: "It's very hard for me to write novels, and I have parents to support me at home, so I'm not going to give this book out to everyone for free copying. Those who want to copy must pay."

"Do you still want money?"

"how much?"

"If you want money, don't copy it..."

When they heard that they had to pay, the people below immediately clamored.

They are used to transcribing novels for free, and now they have to charge money, which is tantamount to poaching their flesh, and many people are naturally unwilling.

"Do you also charge money for copying Fengshen Yanyi?" Someone asked Zhang Qingfeng.

"There is no charge for copying Fengshen Yanyi, you can copy whatever you want." Zhang Qingfeng said to the man.

Just kidding, I don't know where the novel Fengshenyanyi has been spread. If they want to collect money, don't they know how to copy it from others?

Many people breathed a sigh of relief when Zhang Qingfeng said that Fengshen Yanyi didn't need money.

The current market price for a set of Fengshenyanyi novels has risen to 150 guan.

Since they can also make money by continuing to copy the Romance of the Gods, many people plan to continue copying the Romance of the Gods, and many people are not going to copy the paid Legend of the White Snake.

"Yang Sanlang, how much do you charge for copying the Legend of the White Snake you mentioned?" someone asked Zhang Qingfeng.

"Copying the Legend of the White Snake, [-] words and [-] Wen is not very expensive. Everyone can think about it." Zhang Qingfeng said to everyone.

Fifty Wen was the price Zhang Qingfeng set after careful consideration.

If the order is too high, they may first copy a copy at a high price, and then copy it to others at a low price. In this way, Zhang Qingfeng will not make any money at all, but let others make the money.

Fifty Wen is almost just right, with [-] characters, according to the current market situation, the person who transcribes can earn a thousand, and it is not too much to take fifty Wen out of a thousand.

There are at least 30 copyists in the vicinity. If each person copied 150 characters, he would be given [-] Wen. Taking the nearly [-]-word Legend of the White Snake as an example, he could earn [-] million Yuan, or [-]. Five hundred guan.

Of course, there will definitely not be so many people giving money, and many of them will choose to copy from others at a low price.

But as long as one-tenth of the people give money, he can earn 150 guan.

Moreover, these people will definitely not just copy it once, the more they copy, the more Zhang Qingfeng will earn.

If the market is not good, he can also lower the price to [-] cents for [-] words, or [-] cents for [-] words, or [-] cents for another [-] words, or even ten cents.

Anyway, as long as there are always books to copy here, Zhang Qingfeng can make a steady stream of money.

Hearing that Zhang Qingfeng charges [-] Wen for the Wanzi, some people think it is expensive, while others think it is acceptable.

On that day, less than 50 people expressed their willingness to transcribe.

These 50 people brought Zhang Qingfeng more than two dollars in income today, which is better than nothing.

The money for two guan is definitely not enough for the drama troupe, so Zhang Qingfeng borrowed two hundred guan from his master Mr. Zhao Lao.

The Zhao family believed in Zhang Qingfeng's ability to make money, so they happily lent him the money.

After having more than 200 pennies, Zhang Qingfeng devoted himself to drama rehearsals again.

After Zhang Qingfeng took out the novel of The Legend of the White Snake, on the second day, a storytelling about the Legend of the White Snake appeared in the Goulan of Lin'an City.

At the beginning, many guests didn't buy it. Almost all of them came here for the Romance of the Gods. Who wants to listen to the Legend of the White Snake.

Until it was written on the notice board at the entrance of a Goulan: "The Legend of the White Snake" was the second book written by Yang Sanlang, more people were willing to buy tickets to listen to the storytelling.

At the same time, fearing that some people would not know who Yang Sanlang was, Gou Lan Xiangfang also explained in detail that Yang Sanlang was the author of the Romance of the Gods.

He also told the guests that Yang Sanlang's first book on Feng Shen Yan Yi was so beautiful, so isn't the second book "Legend of the White Snake" even better?
After learning that The Legend of the White Snake was written by Yang Sanlang, many of the guests who had listened to the storytelling of the Romance of the Gods naturally chose to listen to the Story of the White Snake.

After they listened to the storytelling of the White Snake, they thought it was very good, and then word of mouth spread it, and it quickly fermented.

So soon, The Legend of the White Snake, like the Romance of the Gods, became a hit.

Some Goulan who want to make money squeezed out the time of other programs, and devoted themselves to storytelling The Legend of the White Snake.

Some entertainers who could only do storytelling in teahouses and restaurants before also have the opportunity to do storytelling in Goulan.

At the same time, Zhang Qingfeng also asked the storytellers who spoke about The Legend of the White Snake to advertise for him, saying that in more than half a month, Yang Sanlang would personally adapt the Story of the White Snake into an opera, so please look forward to it.

"Yang Sanlang, this is the magistrate's subordinate who came to look for you."

On this day, Mr. Zhao brought a middle-aged man to find Zhang Qingfeng at Liu's house.

"Hello, my lord." Hearing that it was the magistrate's subordinate, Zhang Qingfeng quickly saluted and said hello.

The magistrate is mainly responsible for the military and political power of a prefecture, which is equivalent to the former prefect and the mayor of prefecture-level cities in later generations.

You must know that there were only two levels of local administration in the Song Dynasty, with the government, prefecture, army, and supervisor as the first level, and the county as the first level.

The magistrate is the highest-ranking official among local officials.

The prefect of Lin'an Prefecture is two levels higher than the prefects or prefects in other places, and is a third-rank official.

"You are Yang Sanlang who wrote the Romance of the Gods. I am here to invite you to participate in the Lantern Festival under the order of the magistrate." The middle-aged man said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"Invite me to the literary meeting? When?" Zhang Qingfeng asked the middle-aged man.

"Yes, I invite you. The time is the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month." The middle-aged man said to Zhang Qingfeng.
