Chapter 369 New Power
Ningxin Garden.
In the study.
Li Nuo signed the poetry collection all morning. After signing, he had to write a message. After two hours, his wrist was a little sore.
The poetry collection in Li's bookstore sells for one tael of silver per copy.
And the one he signed himself can sell for ten taels.
The signature plus the message sells for fifty taels.
If you want to customize the message, the price will double.
These are all Fenghuang's ideas. Even if the poetry collection is one hundred taels per copy, the sales are still very good.
There are many poor people in Chang'an, but there is no shortage of rich people.
The purpose of the Li family's business is to rob the rich and help the poor. Li Nuo is going to print some more hardcover editions of the "Medical Manual". In today's Daxia, almost every literate family has a copy of this book.
Not only Daxia, in a few months, merchants from various countries have already brought this book to other countries. Unfortunately, Li Nuo can't collect this copyright fee.
But if he can't get it, then he can't get it. Popularizing basic medical knowledge to more people is also a contribution to the medical family. It is a bit of "carrying on the lost knowledge of the past saints". After all, the medical saint is also a saint.
Moreover, the wider the scope of this book, the more beneficial it will be for his practice.
The medical reform of Daxia has long encountered a bottleneck due to the non-cooperation of the aristocratic families, but Li Nuo's practice will continue to grow at a slight rate every day, because someone has been helping him expand his influence.
In addition to these poetry collections, Li Nuo also plans to compile his experience in the Six Arts into a book.
Although the Li family is already very rich, they also have a lot of expenses. Public welfare is part of it, and they also have to give Li Yun enough silver for Mohist research. The speed at which these two things spend money is comparable to a bottomless pit.
He will complete these things before the Lantern Festival next year. After that, he plans to leave Chang'an, give lectures while inspecting the local area, and go to Zhao State to marry Yiren on the way.
After signing the last book, Li Nuo walked out of the study and saw Yiren practicing with Jiaren not far away.
Even Li Nuo has reached the fifth realm, but Jia Ren, who had the highest cultivation at the beginning, still remained at the peak of the fourth realm. Seeing her hard training every day, Li Nuo had to ask Yi Ren to be her sparring partner.
Dongfang Qing was playing shuttlecock with Muer Ninger.
The girl's mind was younger than her real age.
She said that since she could remember, she had been wandering around with her grandfather and had never had any friends. No wonder she could play so happily with the two little girls.
Li Nuo walked to the opposite side of the fortune-teller who was sitting at the stone table and throwing copper coins, and said, "Senior, can you help me calculate when Jia Ren can break through to the master level?"
After getting familiar with his granddaughter, Li Nuo once tried to invite him to his home as a guest, but unexpectedly, the senior of the Yin-Yang family also agreed.
After that, the grandfather and grandson often appeared here together.
Dongfang Xuan looked up at him and said, "No."
Li Nuo was surprised and said, "Why, didn't you predict Yi Ren before..."
Dongfang Xuan looked at him and said unhappily, "Ask me, I want to ask you, why is it that I can predict others well, but the Yin-Yang magic doesn't work for people related to you..."
He stared at Li Nuo's eyes and asked, "What secrets do you have, kid?"
Li Nuo coughed lightly. No matter how powerful the Yin-Yang magic is, it should not be able to predict his secrets.
In order to avoid the Dongfang senior asking again, he walked away tactfully, watched the beauty and Yi Ren practice for a while, and went out with An Ning Fenghuang to inspect the Li family's shops.
There were many customers queuing outside several bookstores.
Most of these customers were women, and many of them were maids from big families.
Poetry is still very popular in the upper class circle.
In addition, Fenghuang also opened several women's clothing stores, recruited some unemployed women at home, combined with her own painting and aesthetic attainments, and successfully created a brand. The underwear and outerwear sold in the store are very popular among upper-class women.
Fenghuang's business acumen is not possessed by anyone else in the Li family.
After visiting the Li family's stores, Li Nuo asked Fenghuang and An Ning to go back first, and he went to the major medical clinics in Chang'an to have a look.
Although the medical reform is difficult to implement outside, it is well implemented in Chang'an. Even though low-end and high-end medical care are still very divided, the rich can spend a lot of money to ask high-level doctors to cure various diseases instantly, but the poor people can also get treatment when they are sick, it's nothing more than spending a little more time.
Li Nuo chose a public medical clinic of the court and personally sat in for an hour.
During this period of time, the medical Qi was only one step away from the fifth realm, but he just couldn't get through.
However, he had a vague feeling that the medical breakthrough would be in the near future.
There is still a big difference between the fourth and fifth realms of doctors. Many difficult and complicated diseases require the fifth realm of true qi foundation.
So in the next few days, in addition to compiling books, Li Nuo would take out two hours every day to provide free medical consultations.
...
Chu State.
Capital.
In front of a book stall somewhere, a bookseller held a thick book in his hand and introduced it to the customers in front of the stall: "This medical book was written by the legendary six-subject champion of Daxia. It records the treatment methods of diseases in the world. It is a must-have for home. In Xia State and Zhao State, almost every wealthy family has it..."
A customer flipped through it and felt that the book was indeed useful. He asked: "How much is this book?"
The bookseller said: "One price, ten taels of silver, no bargaining."
"What, so expensive?"
"This is the latest version of Daxia. I brought it back all the way. No one else can buy it. Is ten taels of silver still too expensive?"
"If you don't buy it, lean back."
"I'll take one."
"I'll take one too."
This is the capital of the Chu State, and there are many wealthy people who have heard of the name of this medical book.
This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
It's just that all this time, some merchants have been selling them scatteredly, and there is no chance to buy them. Today I happened to come across them, and I just happened to buy them.
A young man walked into a bookshop on the street after buying the last copy.
A moment later, on the second floor of the bookstore, he looked at a bloated man and said: "Shopkeeper, this book is bound to be popular. We should speed up the engraving and printing, otherwise others may seize the opportunity..."
The rich man hesitated and said, "Isn't this good? We printed this book without the author's consent. What if he gives us trouble?"
According to the laws of Chu State, if you privately publish other people's unauthorized books, in addition to returning the profits, you will also have to pay a large sum of money.
The young man said indifferently: "Shopkeeper, you are overthinking it. If he is in Daxia, can he come to the capital of Chu State to trouble us? If we don't make this money, someone else will make it sooner or later. Print it first." Make money, but Houyin doesn’t make any money..."
After thinking carefully, the rich man finally nodded and said: "Okay, you go find a few people from the Mo family and ask them to make carvings as soon as possible..."
…
Within a few days, a large number of "Medical Manuals" were sold in some bookstores in the capital of Chu.
Because of the practicality of this book, many people have paid attention to it before, but they have always been reluctant to buy it.
As soon as this book was released, it was immediately sold out.
Seeing this, other bookstores also found people to engrave and print the books.
In the past, the author of a best-selling book like this had to cooperate with a fixed bookstore, and others could not print it at will. However, the author of this book is far away in Daxia, and it is impossible to come to Chu State to sue them.
There is no need to give any money to the original author. Excluding the cost of printing, it is all his own profit. This kind of good thing does not happen often.
For a time, every bookstore in the capital began to sell this book.
When the market in the capital was saturated and they tasted the benefits, they rushed to print and sell them locally...
Daxia.
Chang'an.
Li Nuo walked out of the study and was about to go to the medical center for a free clinic when his steps suddenly stopped slightly.
Just a moment ago, the medical energy in his body inexplicably increased a lot.
Li Nuo is very familiar with the surge of infuriating energy. This is... the fifth level of the medical family.
He looked down at his Dantian.
It is not a strange thing to break through the fifth level of the medical family. He is already at the peak of the fourth level and may break through at any time.
But in addition to the breakthrough in medical cultivation just now, there was also an extra force in his body.
A strange power that was completely unfamiliar to him.
This power is only equivalent to the level of each family's first entry. Li Nuo has been in contact with the Yin-Yang Family a lot recently, and has also tried to cultivate the Yin-Yang Family. Could it be that his Yin-Yang Family has entered the country?
He entered the country after only a few days of formal training. Could it be that he is a once-in-a-century genius of onmyoji?
The Yin Yang family in the initial stage can only be regarded as ordinary people without any cultivation, and the future they can see is extremely limited, which is probably equivalent to which foot to step first when walking.
Li Nuo looked at a maid not far away.
But I didn’t see any future.
He looked suspicious.
This power is not from the Yin Yang family.
Confucianism, Legalism, medicine, Mohism, soldiers, farmers, thieves, political strategists... He has all the power in his body. This Dao appears inexplicably in his body. If it doesn't belong to the Yin and Yang family, what can it be?
