The success of the storytelling session made everyone in the library very happy, except for Chen Zongwen and Qu Xiangbai.
They've seen it all.
But Liao Qiwen and his wife have never seen it, and they also have their own contribution to it.
How can I not be happy?
Although he is not short of money, Li Yu has always treated high-end talents well.
The couple earned 50 taels a month, of course, for the vernacular novels they wrote or the manuscripts for storytelling sessions.
As long as you publish it, you can get money.
Although the two of them don't lack this little money, they feel a sense of accomplishment.
Especially Cai Shutao, she had never seen a woman who earned so much in a month.
The story will be very successful, and Li Yu wants to continue with this even more.
Publishing one issue per month is not very realistic. There are too few of them, and the submissions from Qingyan Town alone are not enough.
No one’s inspiration will never run dry, especially when the other person is an ordinary person.
Li Yu set his sights on the provincial capital.
The population of the capital city is larger and more knowledgeable, which is much better than Qingyan Town.
Apart from anything else, there are definitely more literate people than in Qingyan Town.
But their base is in Qingyan Town, so it’s a problem to decide who to send to the provincial capital to collect submissions.
When Li Yu told Qu Xiangbai about this, he said he would go himself.
"Hmm? Can you do it? Collecting papers is easy, but reviewing them is difficult."
It’s not that she looks down on Qu Xiangbai, it’s just that this person is simply not cut out for it.
"I am only responsible for soliciting papers, and you are responsible for reviewing them."
Qu Xiangbai said confidently.
Good boy, then just tire ourselves out, Li Yu thought.
"No, we only have Mr. and Mrs. Liao now. We can't finish reading all the manuscripts from the capital."
She didn't want to sit here and read the manuscript every day. Li Yu had her own plans.
Qu Xiangbai also knew how heavy their workload was, so he gave them an idea.
"Well, you guys just wait and see, I'll go to the capital to see if there's anyone suitable.
Have them review the manuscript in the capital, and then bring it back to you for another review after they're done."
This would make things much easier, and Li Yu thought it was a good idea.
"That's it for now."
After discussing this matter, Qu Xiangbai set off for the provincial capital the next day.
Due to current traffic conditions, Li Yu decided to publish a storytelling session every two months.
The printing volume can be increased, and bookstores from other places all purchase goods in Qingyan Town.
This will make things much easier.
Of course, Li Yu is only responsible for quality and innovation, while printing and sales are the responsibility of Qu Xiangbai and Chen Zongwen.
Especially Chen Zongwen, he is as smart as a monkey.
You don't have to worry about this at all.
The successful launch of the first issue also allowed those who successfully submitted their works to receive their rewards.
Zheng Shaoyuan received 30 taels of silver for just one story, which was something his family had never dared to imagine before.
He never thought that one day he would earn so much money by his own ability.
When he returned home and gave the silver to his mother, the old lady was shocked.
"Shao Yuan, where did you get so much money?"
Could it be stolen?
Zheng's father, who was lying in bed, was also scared and tried hard to support himself and get up.
Unfortunately, he was too weak and fell down.
Zheng Shaoyuan hurried over to help him, "Dad and Mom, you're overthinking it. I really earned it. If you don't believe me, you can go to the town library and ask.
Don't worry, I earned this from writing stories."
“Can you make money writing stories?”
The old man didn’t understand. He had lived in the countryside all his life and didn’t know that he could make money by writing stories.
In the minds of the country people, the purpose of studying is to take the imperial examination, or at least to become a teacher or an accountant.
I never knew I could do anything else.
This is a matter of experience, and Zheng Shaoyuan didn’t know this before.
I only knew how to read, and now I realize how short-sighted I am.
"Look, I'm making money, aren't I?
Mom, take it. Tomorrow we will go to town to see a doctor for Dad."
Mother Zheng said happily, "Good, good, good, it's better to study. A Meng's mother next door keeps saying that studying is useless.
My son is so good at making money, how can he be useless? I will go out soon and tell her that my son has made a lot of money, so that she will be mad at me."
.......
Zheng Shaoyuan advised her, "Mom, forget it. Don't bother with them. Remember not to show off your wealth."
"Yes, yes, yes. Listen to your son. Don't go out and show off. Be careful not to get caught."
Seeing what her husband and son said, Zheng's mother gave up the idea of showing off.
"You're right, we should keep a low profile."
After saying that, he touched Zheng Shaoyuan's head and said, "My son is really capable."
Seeing his grandson standing silently beside him, he said to him, "You should study hard like your father in the future."
Seeing his son agree obediently, Zheng Shaoyuan was helpless.
I thought, it’s better not to be like me.
