Chapter 60 Disastrous Work (1)
Tan Lingyin quickly finished her masterpiece and showed it to Tan Qingchen.
Tan Qingchen was hesitant. He felt that if they were to publish this book, they would be hunted down by Tang Tianyuan.

Due to confidentiality, Tan Lingyin did not tell Tan Qingchen about the imperial envoy. She just patted her chest and assured him that Tang Tianyuan would definitely be happy with this book.
Tan Qingchen had no choice but to comply, and asked some people to typeset and print out a hundred sample books to see the effect.
The blocks on the printing press were the moveable type, which meant that they were rearrangeable. After setting each character to the correct location, they were glued and put on an iron plate. With a special concoction applied, they were baked with fire. Once cooled down, the blocks were fixed on the iron plate. After use, the iron plate was roasted with fire again, and then the blocks could be removed and reused.
Gutang Bookstore was a well-known big bookstore and its printing room was very spacious. There were many moveable types, so they could print several books at the same time. Due to rent, the printing house and the bookstore were separated by three streets, in a secluded alley. The printing house was bright on all sides. The workers did most of their duties during the day and stopped at night. Only one person was left to watch the night to prevent accidents such as fire.
Before mass printing, Tan Lingyin went to promote this new book and made a lot of noise about it. She claimed that it was ‘a masterpiece that Tang Tianyuan can't even put down if he sees it.’ In short, she was as shameless as could be. Booksellers from all over the country were excited and contacted Gutang Bookstore one after another. Tan Qingchen showed them the sample books, and the booksellers were very satisfied. One ordered a hundred copies, the other ordered two thousand, and there was a big bookseller who monopolized three provinces, he asked for ten thousand copies.
Everyone knew that with Miao Miao Sheng's reputation, no matter what he wrote, there was no worries about not being able to sell it.
With so many books, it was natural that she couldn’t hand write a poem in each one, otherwise Tan Lingyin's hand would be broken. Therefore, she had to wait for the first batch of books to be sold, and then publish a poem-included version.
There was a bookseller from the capital, called Boss Qi, who asked for a thousand copies. He did not come from much wealth, but he was very sincere. After arriving in Tongling, he found an inn and didn't leave; he was personally waiting for the printing of this batch of books to be completed. He also mentioned to Tan Qingchen several times that he wanted the first batch of printed books, including the sample books printed at the beginning. He added that the price was not a problem, he just wanted it for good omen.
Tan Qingchen agreed to him in the face of money.
What Tan Lingyin was most worried about was Tang Feilong's interference. She hid the sample books and sent additional staff to guard the printing room. Her thought was that as long as she released the first batch safely, it would be too late for Tang Feilong to get angry.
She also believed it would be useless even if he were to be pissed.
Tang Feilong did not disappoint her. He caught the wind of her plans and sent someone to set fire outside the printing room! Fortunately, the night watchman found it in time and extinguished it.
Tan Ling was livid and went to find him and argue, but he shamelessly denied it. Tan Lingyin didn't dare to irritate him too much at this time, so could only swallow her anger.

Tang Tianyuan watched Tan Lingyin away. He walked to the rosewood shelf and removed the top row of books, revealing a large rectangular box standing up behind the books. Tang Tianyuan took out the box, opened it, and there were a lot of movable clay characters neatly placed in it. The movable type clay characters were clean, meaning it was newly made.
The clay characters in the box were all the same words.
Tang Tianyuan touched these movable clay characters with a smile. The arson was just a decoy; it was set to purposely alert Tan Lingyin’s attention. If he really wanted to do something, the result was bound to be successful.
Tan Qingchen contacted booksellers all over the country and wholesaled paper according to the approximate number of prints. When it was fully prepared, he started construction. There were already some impatient bookstores who drove their carriages to wait outside the printing room. The new books were printed and shipped directly into their carriages, which not only facilitated them, but also reduced the pressure on the inventory of Gutang Bookstore.
After so many days of work, they can finally take a breather. Tan Lingyin returned to the county government office and slept for a whole day. The next day she met the county magistrate while walking Tang Tang. Proudly, she said: "Sir, I wrote a new book and want to give it to you." Saying that, she took out the book that was still scented with ink and handed it over.
Tang Tianyuan took the book and said with a smile, "Thank you, I will definitely read it carefully."
Tan Lingyin thought he took the wrong medicine.
In any case, it was a big deal for her, and she had a very relaxing day.
But her readers had gone mad.

The heroine in Miao Miao Sheng's new book was called Miao Miao! And she was an extremely lecherous female monster! This female monster molested Tang Feilong in various ways and even forced herself on him! Ah ah ah ah ah!
Readers were baffled. Their first reaction was that the book must be fake, not written by Miao Miao Sheng. However, no matter how they checked, this book really did come from Gutang Bookstore and it was sold by all major booksellers in the city that had swore to have personally brought it back from the Gutang Bookstore.
How could it be fake?
