Chapter 381 Donating Books to Win Hearts
This era has no awareness of intellectual property rights.
Baicao Poetry is also disdainful of plots in ancient novels that take advantage of time and space differences and knowledge advantages to slap the face. At that time, it was forced by the situation, but now, she wanted to rectify the names of those great writers.
Have made up his mind to argue with the bookstore. Unexpectedly, the bookstore is so cooperative that they accept any compensation.
Hongqu was surprised by the majesty of Baicao Poetry. When she was in Yanjing before, she had heard of Zhiyuan Bookstore, the backstage is very powerful, and the dignitaries in Beijing often have to give two portions of thin noodles.
As for the scholar who followed, he felt that his eyeballs were about to fall to the ground.
Be good to me, in front of this girl, the shopkeeper of the bookstore is a bunch of cowards.
"All books that have been sold must be recovered." Baicaoshi said.
Recovering the books is a huge loss for the bookstore. The cost of publishing and printing comes second, and the most important thing is reputation.
The shopkeeper showed embarrassment, "We dare not disobey what the girl said. It's just...
Baicaoshi stared back, "Who said just now that if you follow through, you will regret it so soon? Besides, you published it without authorization, ignoring the hard work and wisdom of others, shouldn't you?"
The shopkeeper's waist bent even lower, and was about to sink into the dust. "Girl, please allow me to finish. First, these books have been carefully proofread by the bookstore's think tank, and there are absolutely no mistakes; second, the signatures of these books are all in your name, girl, and we will not impersonate you." .Thirdly, the book was only released two days ago. The number of sales is not large. Zhiyuan Bookstore does not take a cent of the profits from the sale. The bookstore is not a choice, why not choose Zhiyuan Bookstore with the best reputation and guaranteed quality?"
At that time, the bookstore was surrounded by many people, and the people who eat melons are the same from ancient times to the present. Everyone is watching how this dispute will end.
Baicao Poetry has long been familiar with the story of Zhiyuan Bookstore.
However, when she knew that the bookstore was Pei Jiaming's superficial property, she was doomed not to have anything to do with them. She raised a finger, her voice was not high, but loud. "First, it was your fault that you published it without authorization; second, your signatures are all wrong; third, I didn't intend to sell this collection of poems for profit, I want to donate it For Dayan’s Mongolian School, County School, State School, and the two major academies—Qianming Academy and Kunming Academy.”
After she finished speaking, there was applause from the audience.
It was sparse at first, and gradually became warmer. Some people even called out the name of Baicao Poetry among the people.
The inheritance of culture is a very empty thing, but the common people and the audience feel the determination and perseverance of Baicao Poetry, and they are proud of it.
The shopkeeper of Zhiyuan Bookstore glanced at the deputy shopkeeper, the steward, and the staff, and everyone saluted Baicaoshi together. "I admire the girl's integrity. Our bookstore is located in Dayan, and we also hope that Dayan will become better. We decided that all printed books will be donated to Mengxue, Zhouxue, Academy, girl, do you think this is okay?"
Hongqu tugged on Baicaoshi's sleeve, and almost agreed for her.
The onlookers all praised it.
"This girl is so young, she is extraordinary."
"Zhiyuan Bookstore is worthy of being a big bookstore. With such an upright behavior and style, it's no wonder the business is so big."
"When I buy books in the future, I will choose Zhiyuan Bookstore."
Baicaoshi's pupils shrank, and she thought to herself, the big shopkeeper of Zhiyuan Bookstore really has a few tricks. He handled a public relations crisis very well, and won a good reputation among the people of Yanjing!
If she still insists not to publish it here, it will appear that she is hypocritical.

In an elegant seat on the top floor of Zhiyuan Bookstore, Pei Yuanxian watched this scene quietly, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.
Now she is in his heart, not only the 100,000 troops, but also the deans of the two academies.
Pei Yuanxian finally came to his senses, "Treasurer Lu, his regular silver can be increased."
This is what the official salary increase means.
Huanyan also looked down, as if she had gotten into the car of Baicaoshi, promoted and made a fortune very quickly.
She responded: "Yes, sir. Besides, Shunzi is here."
Pei Yuanxian looked out the door, he was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with slender but pleasing eyes, and a faint dimple on his face.
He talked about Yanjing's current situation, and at the end, he presented a box and said, "Sir, this is tea made from chrysanthemums from the Juyuan, please accept it, sir."
Pei Yuanxian opened the lid and smelled it. It was a familiar formula and a familiar smell. He was surprised and pleasantly surprised.
"Where does this chrysanthemum tea come from?"
Sunzi didn't answer, he looked downstairs. The people downstairs had dispersed, but Pei Yuanxian had an answer.

After a tiring day, Baicaoshi returned to Prince Xu's Mansion.
What is rare is that Oriha has also returned. Fu Bao and Meng Bao surrounded his legs, seeming to accuse him of being neglected for many days.
"Bao Yu, I have an idea about the ninety-nine birthday ceremony." No matter how tired I am, when I see Zhe Yu and see the little wolf king, Baicaoshi can always switch instantly, and change to a happy face.
Zhe Yu wrapped his arms around his waist, "Madam, please tell me, I would like to hear more about it for my husband."
Baicao Poetry made a trick, asking Li Jianping to call everyone in the house to the conference hall, while she walked to the pigeon cage.
"Do you want to send a message to Wanzhou?" Zhe Yu asked.
Baicaoshi pursed her lips and smiled, "Yubao, how do you know that I sent a letter to Wanzhou, not Beiqi?"
Zhe Yu calmly replied: "Since it is to prepare for the birthday ceremony, I think Shishi should want to mobilize the power within her control, rather than let her mother and younger brother worry about it."
This is the tacit understanding.
Zhe Yu and Baicaoshi thought of one place.
"Bao Yu, you know me best." Baicaoshi hung the note on the pigeon's leg, stroked the pigeon's head, "Come on Gege, I'm up to you."
"Who is the rescuer you brought this time?" Zhe Yu asked.
"It's Wen Xiang, let her come to Beijing."
Li Jianping approached and reported: "Master and Madam, everyone is here, and they are in the meeting hall."
Baicaoshi took the two wolves to the meeting hall in a hurry.
In the hall, the four guards, including Hongqu, Duan Shaoyi, Jiuniang, Dazhonglou, and Xiaozhonglou, and Duzhong Dingxiang are all there.
"What I said today, until November 14th, needs to be kept secret. Do you understand?"
Everyone spoke in unison.
"Okay, I'm going to assign tasks next. Dazhonglou, you take the team and go to the West Market to attract merchants. Xiaozhonglou, you go to the East Market. The merchants can be selling special snacks, or clothing accessories. Craftsmanship, but it must be of high quality and reputation, and the price needs to be negotiated lower than their daily price, but I can guarantee that small profits but quick turnover. Do you understand?"
