Chapter 029 The anger of the three giants of the Three Kingdoms

Huaizhou's pursuit of Liu Yao has come to an end, and a book in the Ming Dynasty far away in Jizhou has quickly become popular throughout the state and county. The author of this book is currently sitting in his house in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, shaking a fan and smiling.

Printed books written by him are sold here.

"How many taels of silver?"

"Two taels of silver!"

"Buy it!"

Most of the streets and alleys in the capital city of the Ming Dynasty are book sales points for this book. Even the work in the vegetable market has been replaced by book sellers. Most students and wealthy scholars wrote books to buy this person's original works, and they started selling books early.

I arrived at his mansion and waited quietly. How many people were outside his mansion in the morning? There were not enough people to fit in three streets!

Zhu Yuanzhang was reading the battle report from Huaizhou at this time. One of the Liu Cong brothers was killed and the other was captured. It seemed that Feng Hao was about to establish a foothold in Huaizhou.

"Feng Hao has some tricks up his sleeve. He led an army of millions to chase Liu Yuan and his younger brothers. Isn't this bullying the younger ones?" Although Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he looked at him with a confused expression.

That's another story. Liu Yuan is no better than the Huns. If you rebelled and got beaten by a group of people, then you deserve it! You're so ambitious. If you don't get punished, you won't know how high the sky is.

"Your Majesty, don't read the Huaizhou battle report for now. Take a look at the situation in the capital first." Liu Ji handed the phone to Zhu Yuanzhang and saw a video on the screen. It showed a scene at the north gate of the capital that was already overcrowded.

"What's going on?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, somewhat confused.

"Does Your Majesty still know about Rob Ben?" Liu Ji asked.

"I know, that Luo Ben who wrote "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms"! What happened to him?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked still confused.

"His masterpiece has become popular all over the world again. The people in the capital have almost broken down the city gates and walls in order to buy this book." Liu Ji said this, but it was not enough.

Several feet of the city wall were broken.

Now it was Zhu Yuanzhang's turn to be speechless. Although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be regarded as a popular folk novel for the people to enjoy, if it is sold as unrestrainedly as it is now, then their national treasury will be completely depleted.

So Zhu Yuanzhang immediately issued an order that all the Jin Yiwei and the Three Thousand Battalion in the city were responsible for driving away the vendors selling books. In addition, he sent Shen Lian to lead people to bring Luo Ben over, and dominated the market without the emperor's consent, making all the vegetables

Vendors in the market have begun to sell books, so is the economic market still functioning?

Soon, Luo Ben was brought to the palace by Shen Lian. Luo Ben, who was confused all the way, came to Zhu Yuanzhang. He knelt down at a loss and asked Zhu Yuanzhang what he had done wrong.

"Your Majesty, I wonder why your Majesty ordered the common people to come to the palace?" Luo Ben asked confused.

"I won't talk nonsense to you. Do you know that we have decreed not to allow anyone to monopolize the business of the bookstore, and we want a policy of mutual benefit?" Zhu Yuanzhang replied somewhat unhappily.

"Ah... this... the common people really don't know!" After listening to this, Luo Ben knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about. He printed and sold his works in large quantities, leaving all his colleagues with nowhere to go. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang hated people like Shen Wansan the most.

A businessman, because he makes a lot of money, so... he knows everything.

But what Zhu Yuanzhang said next was a bit unexpected, because Luo Ben’s books, especially the book "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I heard Feng Hao mentioned it in the group before, and this book later spread to Japan

As well as overseas countries, during the Warring States Period in Japan, the Japanese shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu used a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to make suggestions on the battlefield and win several battles. This shows how readable this book is.

"We don't restrict you from selling your works, but we have to restrict your personal income, because you also know what happened to Shen Wansan. Although he has started a horse business in the outer city and is doing well, as a A scholar who is indifferent to fame and fortune is true..." Zhu Yuanzhang used a lot of truths to confuse Luo Ben. In the end, Luo Ben was completely convinced by Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Liu Ji, who was standing by to listen to the discussion between the two, also admired Zhu Yuanzhang's psychological tactics. He did not expect that his master had this skill. It was a sin to have followed him for so many years and not know it at all.

At the end of the topic, Robben's psychological defense was finally broken by Zhu Yuanzhang's offensive. He agreed to 46% of the profit, 40% to Robben and 60% to Zhu Yuanzhang. It was said that Zhu Yuanzhang got 60%, but in fact it should be 70%. Robben and During Zhu Yuanzhang's final negotiation, Rob Ben struggled for a moment, and Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to Rob Ben's request.

"Okay, we won't keep you here anymore. We will immediately send an order to the printing craftsmen across the country to collectively print rubbings of Luo Ben's "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and distribute it to various countries to make money from them!" Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.

"Your Majesty the Holy Ming." Liu Ji was very satisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's decision. If this book can be released in other countries and get a great response, then they can use these countries as a source of profit to make their money. In the end, Ming Dynasty earned A lot of money was poured, and the one who had the last laugh...must be Daming.

So in the past five days, Luo Ben distributed all the 500,000 copies of "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in stock to various countries, but when it was distributed to Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, it became a big joke.

"..." Liu Bei read the book with a look of disdain on his face. He almost wanted to send the author a razor blade.

"What the fuck..." Cao Cao started to curse while sitting in the palace while reading a book. Why did he become a traitor in the book?!

"I want to kill the author!!!" Sun Quan held the Baihong Sword in his left hand and cursed at the book. Why was he so aggrieved in the book?!

The three giants of the Three Kingdoms unanimously believed that this was an insult to them, so the three of them invited their emperor to create a group to discuss the topic of the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Cao Cao and his son Cao Pi immediately announced that they were going to kill him. The author, is he so miserable in front of the public? He just wanted to find another way to preserve the seeds of the Han Dynasty, but there was such a prodigal son who usurped the throne and became emperor.

Liu Bei is the one who feels the most aggrieved. He is obviously a hero, but this book turns him into a crying bear! And he basically cries all the way. Do he have that many tears?

"I won't say anything more. I really can't stand the title of Blue Eyed Thief... I can't stand it." Sun Quan murmured in the group.

"Can you guys be as miserable as me?" Liu Chan suddenly appeared and said to them.

Liu Chan is the worst offender here. He obviously wants to protect himself wisely, but he is described in the book as: Adou who cannot be helped. If you can't help him, your whole family can't help him! If he doesn't delegate power to Zhuge Liang, what will happen to him? Besides having the ability to govern the country, it is better to delegate power to a capable prime minister and let him take charge of the military.
