Within a few days, once the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was sold, it attracted huge attention.
Even Li Si and Feng Quji had a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in their hands. The descriptions of the war, the use of tactics, etc. in it were extremely wonderful, and the characters were portrayed vividly.
After reading the whole book, both of them couldn't help but exclaim that it was so exciting.
"This book is a divine book, so wonderful. If our Great Qin had such talents, the Great Qin would definitely be even more powerful." Li Si clapped his hands in amazement.
"Yes, the writer of this book is very talented. I wanted to visit Mr. Luo Guanzhong, but Your Highness hid him very well. Alas." Feng Quji sighed.
"I'm going too." Longing flashed in Li Si's eyes.
The sale of Romance of the Three Kingdoms quickly consumed all the wood in the workshop, and the previously stored paper was also used up. A lot of paper was also purchased from other merchants.
The popularity of Romance of the Three Kingdoms made the bookstore earn a lot of money.
Books are still being printed at a rapid pace, but they are still in short supply.
Zhao Qingrui took Lu Zhi to sit on the attic of the bookstore, watching the hustle and bustle below leisurely.
"Your Highness, many people are now looking for my connections, wanting me to ask your Highness about the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Lu Zhi said respectfully.
As someone close to Zhao Qingrui, she was one of the first people to get the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and even she was very interested in the contents of the book.
"Spread the news! The author of this book has passed away." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.
"I understand," Lü Zhi said with a bow. She then turned to Zhao Qingrui and said, "Your Highness, is it true that Mr. Luo has passed away? I'm quite interested in that as well."
"Well, I got this book by accident." Zhao Qingrui glanced at Lu Zhi, then looked at the crazy people below.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms sold even better than she had expected, and money poured into her pocket.
There are still too few entertainment options available in the Qin Dynasty. Once the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is brought out, it is a dimensionality-reducing blow to some of the existing entertainment methods.
"Such a powerful person has passed away." Lu Zhi said regretfully.
"Everyone is born, grows old, gets sick and dies. This is normal."
With money rolling in, Zhao Qingrui felt relieved, knowing that running other stores would not be a problem anymore.
Other stores are also making profits, so we can’t be so reckless next time.
However, seeing how lively Xianyang was, Zhao Qingrui felt that it was worthwhile to bring out the Romance of the Three Kingdoms this time.
As soon as I returned to the East Palace, I was met with two pairs of big dark circles under their eyes.
"Grandpa Wang, Mr. Gan, what's wrong with you? Your eye circles are so dark, how long have you not slept?" Zhao Qingrui teased.
Fortunately, both of them are in good health, otherwise she would really worry about them going through so much trouble at their age.
"The book that His Highness gave me was so good that I couldn't help wanting to finish reading it together. That's why this happened." Gan Luo looked at Zhao Qingrui with resentment.
He had seen the changes in his body since arriving in Xianyang.
He also knew that it must have been Zhao Qingrui who did it.
He just didn't know how she did it, but he didn't say anything.
"Yes, it would be great if my Great Qin had generals like the ones in the book. I have also benefited a lot from the application of the military strategies in the book." Wang Jian said with emotion.
"Yes, although this is a vernacular story, it is of great value." Gan Luo agreed. The various strategies in it are very exciting. After reading the whole article, it makes people feel very refreshed. They wish they could be one of the strategists and compete with those people.
"As long as you like it." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
Then he unfolded a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the famous poem "Linjiangxian. The Rolling Yangtze River Flows Eastward".
"This is a poem about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Please appreciate it, teachers."
He blew gently on the ink and then picked up the written words.
The Yangtze River rolls eastward, its waves washing away all heroes. Success and failure are all in vain. The green mountains remain, the sunsets turn red again.
"The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the riverbank are accustomed to watching the autumn moon and the spring breeze. A pot of muddy wine brings joy to our reunion. So many events, past and present, are all turned into jokes." Gan Luo took over and recited it in a rhythmic manner.
Ever since Zhao Qingrui invented punctuation marks, he felt that reading became more convenient with them.
"Good, good words, bold yet reserved, high-pitched yet profound. Life is limited, but the river flows endlessly and the mountains remain forever. Your Highness has seen through this philosophy." Gan Luo cheered.
"Mr. Gan, you think too highly of me. I didn't write these lyrics. Ahem, the person who wrote them has passed away." Although she was thick-skinned, she let this matter go.
Gan Luo was completely dumbfounded. Had the person become an immortal again?
These people are all so talented, and he wanted to have a good chat with them, so why did they all pass away?
"Alas, if they were still here, I would definitely pay them a proper visit." Gan Luo could only say with regret.
"I don't know where their graves are. I want to go and pay my respects." Gan Luo looked at Zhao Qingrui unwillingly.
"I don't know about that either."
"Well then." Gan Luo retracted his thoughts in disappointment. "By the way, the word 'Your Highness' needs some practice. You are the crown prince, representing the face of the entire Qin Dynasty."
The corner of Zhao Qingrui's mouth twitched. "You are so good, Gan Luo. I have been so kind to you. I showed you the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as soon as it was printed. Now this is how you repay her?"
I also gave her additional tasks such as practicing calligraphy. Is this a reward or revenge?
"Ahem, there are many government affairs in the court, and there is a lot of work to do in practicing calligraphy. I have some books here, I wonder if you two teachers would like to take a look?" Zhao Qingrui changed the subject.
