Chapter 257 is no longer printed

Since he wanted to send them away, Lu Xu didn't miss any of them, including places where literati gathered, outside the Imperial Academy and eunuchs, and outside major well-known academies.

He also gave various bookstores benefits, gave gifts and money, and asked them to place his books in the most conspicuous place.

Soon, a scholar who was buying books saw the huge and ugly words on the door of the bookstore and asked in confusion: "What does free books mean?"

Bookstore owner: "These are the damaged books. Each person can get one."

"Free?"

"good."

"If you think the content is good, here is a book that is a set of these articles. If you buy a book, it will be given as a gift. If you buy one, you will get one for free." The boss showed him the "Selected Works of Famous Writers of the Past" placed aside.

The scholar opened it curiously, looked at the introduction, and was surprised when he looked at the table of contents. Isn't this exactly the masterpiece of ancient Chinese they are advocating now? !

"How much?!"

"Fifty cents."

"How much?!" The scholar couldn't believe it.

"Fifty cents."

"Isn't that a loss?"

The bookstore owner curled his lips and said, "Boss Lu said that this book was compiled by Yan Hanlin from other collections. It was not their original creation. They originally only planned to charge a fee for paper and ink, so that they could make small profits but quick turnover. They did this just because they wanted to It was not easy for them to study in the past, but now they can see the rare books in the palace library, they can't put them down, and they recommend them to others. They don't want the world's scholars to miss out on good articles because of money constraints."

The scholar exclaimed: "This is a great thing. How can we make them lose money? How can there be such a book price in Beijing!"

He opened it and saw that the quality of the printing, no matter how thick it was, would still cost one or two or two taels of the same grade.

It was an excerpt from a rare book in the palace library!

"Hey, wasn't it finished?" The bookstore owner told him a piece of gossip he had just heard today, "It was said that it was not finished. The engraving was smashed, so we had to sell the finished print. Those that have not been engraved will not be engraved. It is the first time to engrave a book, and if it is damaged, I can’t bear to throw it away, so I just print it and give it away for free, so the hard work is not in vain.”

The scholar said angrily: "What? Someone in the capital could do such a thing? Who is so outrageous?!"

The bookstore owner shook his head, "Then we don't know."

He also wanted to know, and when he asked, the boss, Xiao Lu, shook his head and waved his hands, his face full of sullen anger that he could no longer hold back, but he wouldn't say anything!

The scholar sighed and paid for the book.

The reference book you need is just what you need, and it’s so cheap. Don’t miss it if you pass by.

He immediately bought five books and received five free books.

After he took it back to the academy and shared it with his classmates, several young people gathered together to read a few articles, and then looked at the gift book full of cracks. They couldn't help but cursed, "Who is this evil and smoking person who actually hit people?" Engraving thing?!”
