Become the city lord from today

The curator flipped through it and saw that the title was about Chang'an City, so he curiously asked,"Is your book about Chang'an City?"

"Yes, everything described in it is related to Chang'an City. Wen Dilin smiled.

The curator nodded thoughtfully, continued to read, and said,"How much does such a book cost?" It shouldn't be cheap. Wen

Dilin looked a little embarrassed as she looked at the parchment and said,"Yes, the cost of making one copy is two hundred copper coins!""

Although parchment scrolls are very common, the price is not much lower. A sheep can only make about ten parchment scrolls, while a book requires hundreds of parchment scrolls. Adding the cost of binding and fashion, the cost is about This price

"It's indeed a bit expensive. We only sell a book here for 100 copper coins. If you want to buy this book, it will probably cost 300 copper coins, right?"The curator guessed.

Wen Dilin shook her head slightly and said,"The price is two hundred and fifty copper coins. I don't dare to set the price too high, so I won't make much.

The curator raised his eyebrows slightly and asked,"Weren't your books sold during the Han Dynasty?""

Judging from the fact that the bindings are all parchment scrolls, it can be clearly ruled out that it was not in the Han Dynasty. Now the books in the entire Han Dynasty are all made of paper.

"Yes, it is sold in my hometown of Flanders Empire."Wendylin felt that there was nothing to hide.

At first, she was worried that the affairs of Princess Field and others would make the people of the Han Dynasty hate people from the Flanders Empire, but she did not expect that it was different from her imagination.

See Fenton and others can travel freely in Chang'an City. They can buy whatever they want and eat whatever they want. No one has any discriminatory attitude at all, so they don't hide it.

"oh! It turned out to be the Flanders Empire."The curator said in surprise.

Wen Dilin felt a little regretful when she saw the other party's expression. She was already prepared to be rejected, but on the surface she still said,"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing, I'm just curious about what kind of empire your empire is."

The curator knew that the girl was thinking wrongly, so he said gently,"I remember that your merchant sold our books in the Flandel Empire. How was the sales? Wen

Dilin breathed a sigh of relief and said,"It's okay. The sales are very good, much better than my book. The snow-white paper is full of indelible words. This selling point is very attractive." Woolen cloth"

"So that’s it, how many copies of this book do you want to publish?"The curator returned to the topic.

Wen Dilin shook her head slightly and said,"I don't have a clue about this yet. I don't know how much it is appropriate to buy or what the price is!"

The curator took out a document and said,"You can take a look at this document first. It's written in more detail."

Wen Dilin took the file, nodded slightly, and started browsing while holding the file. The director held the girl's book and started reading.

The document given by the director detailed the publication of a book. The fees, and the charging items of these fees are also broken down a lot, such as the cost of paper, the cost of the words on it and the cover, etc.

In addition to these, there are also the size and specification of the book, the standard between the lines and the illustrations, etc. Of course, these are also It was linked to the amount of the fee. All in all, the document was very detailed.

Ten minutes later, Wen Dilin read everything on the document, closed it and said,"Hello, I have finished reading it."

The curator raised his head when he heard the sound, put down his longing for Chang'an City and asked,"Is there anything you don't understand? Wen

Dilin opened the document, pointed at one place and asked,"I understand that you charge according to the size of the book, but I don't understand that you charge according to the font size. Are there different font sizes?""

"Of course, there are two font sizes in books in Chang'an City. Most of the existing books in Chang'an City are in large fonts, while small fonts appear in illustration books."The curator explained.

The existing books in Chang'an City are divided into two categories, one is illustration books and the other is pure text books. The reason why the two types of books use different fonts is because the illustration books use pictures. Mainly, characters are supplementary, so the fonts are smaller.

Books with pure characters are all characters. Chang'an City has not yet reached the point where everyone is literate, and some people have just learned it, so the fonts are set slightly larger to make it easier to read. It is also clearer.

Wen Dilin nodded thoughtfully and said,"So that's it, the fee for this illustration is quite high.

The curator knew what Wen Dilin meant and smiled,"If you have more pages of illustrations, you can publish them as illustration books. In this way, it will cost more than just making a few illustrations, and the price can be higher." higher"

"Really? Wen Dilin said in surprise

"Yes, but illustrated books take a longer time to produce. It takes about a month to complete 500 books, while books without illustrations can produce 1,000 copies a month."The curator explained.

Wen Dilin blinked her golden eyes and asked,"I want to know who drew the illustrations for me?"

"There are dedicated staff responsible for this. They will help you draw based on the description in your book. Of course, they will communicate with you in advance to see what kind of feeling you want."The curator smiled.

"That's great. Wen Dilin said with a smile, this professional procedure is really much better than the Flanders Empire.

The curator smiled and shook his head and said,"You're welcome, I just read it, and the book you wrote is indeed very good. It should sell well in Chang'an City."

"I don't want to sell it in Chang'an City."Wen Dilin said suddenly

"Why?"The curator was a little confused. Chang'an City was obviously the best city in the Han Dynasty.

Seeing the other party's confused look, Wen Dilin explained,"That's it, because Chang'an City has two famous books by Princess Lucy in front of it. , and the content of my book is similar to hers, so I’m afraid the sales aren’t very impressive."

"That's true, so where do you want to sell it?"The curator asked doubtfully.

Wen Dilin smiled mysteriously and said,"I have already thought about this. As long as the curator helps me solve the publishing problem, it will be fine."

"Okay, then sit down and I will ask someone to help you find the relevant person in charge of the publishing house. You two can communicate first."The curator said softly, taking away the girl's novel

"Thank you."Wendylin is very polite.
