Chapter 4: The Eagle Shooting Hero

  "Ah, the pharmacy and wine shop, every month, can bring you 800 taels of silver, enough for you to enjoy slowly. As for the two shops, although I cannot help you manage them, I can send someone to supervise them regularly to prevent any problems. Moreover, the managers of the two shops are all loyal family slaves who will definitely manage the wine shop and pharmacy well for you. You just need to play every day." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

  Yao Jiao pouted, "Eight hundred taels of silver? That's not enough! Just buying a little bit of medicine would use it all up. It's not even enough for my own cultivation. This is also why Yao Jiao wants to go out on her own. After all, going out will make it easier to get silver. Moreover, Yao Jiao believes that with her own abilities, getting some silver shouldn't be difficult."

  "By the way, regarding the encouragement your family gave you, what do you plan to do? Do you want 3,000 taels of silver or for your family to do something for you? I think it's best to have them do something. As for what exactly, you can think about it and bring it up later if needed." The middle-aged man said solemnly.

  "It's almost done, I've thought about it too. It'll be settled soon and will also bring me a new income," said the demon king suddenly.

  "Huh? You want it now?" the middle-aged man said unexpectedly.

  "Not bad, I've thought of it," said Youjiao.

  "Then you tell me," said the middle-aged man.

  "This book, I wrote it this year, printed by the family's printing house, and sold in various bookstores of the family. After deducting their own costs and handling fees, just give me the profit." Ya Jiao suddenly took out a book from his arms.

  "Is this what you're asking for?" the middle-aged man asked in surprise.

  What kind of requirement is this? Isn't it too simple?

  "There's nothing else besides this," said Youjiao with certainty.

  "Alright, I hope you don't regret it," the middle-aged man said with a sigh, finally taking over the thick book handed to him by Yaoguo. As for Yaoguo being able to write a book, the middle-aged man wasn't surprised at all, because in the past, he had already gotten used to his nephew's strange and eccentric ideas. Maybe it would really sell well, who knows.

  Looking at the cover of the book, it was written "The Legend of the Shooting Hero - Author: Youjiao".

  The middle-aged man didn't take it seriously and directly put the book on the corner of the table. After talking to Ya Jiao, he let the butler handle it.

  "Alright, I'll submit what you said and it should be easily approved. Later, we can proceed as you suggested. Now that you're leaving, please come visit me often when you have time." The middle-aged man said kindly.

  "Don't worry, Uncle, I'm not going far, still within the city. It's just a short distance, a two-step journey. If you're free in the morning, you can come to my wine shop for breakfast." said Yaojiao with a smile.

  "It's also true, otherwise I wouldn't let you be independent," said the middle-aged man with a smile.

  "Well, for now I'll just stay at the pharmacy, and when this book makes money, I'll buy a big mansion," said Yao Jiao with a smile.

  "Alright, I'll take a look," the middle-aged man said with a smile, and he didn't expect the book to be a huge success either, but just wanted to avoid discouraging Yao Jiao.

  "In that case, Uncle is busy, I'll go pack up and get ready to leave," said Ya Jiao.

  "Alright, I'll help you with the formalities. You go ahead and collect your things. Your pharmacy is not far from here, since you want to be independent, I won't send you off. However, I'll keep an eye on that courtyard of yours, come back often if there's anything." said the middle-aged man.

  "Well, great uncle, I'm leaving." The demon king made a funny face and said.

  "Take care" The middle-aged man also joked and returned a thousand.

  Then, the demon king went back.

  As soon as Yao Jiao left, a middle-aged man shouted towards the outside of the door: "Wang Guanjia".

  An elderly butler soon walked in.

  "Young master, what are your orders?" Wang the housekeeper said immediately.

  "Alright, take this book to the printing house and have it printed, then distribute it to all the family's bookstores for sale." The middle-aged man handed the "Shooting Hero" to Wang Guan.

  "Is it a family-owned bookstore?" The old steward unexpectedly asked as he took over "The Legend of the Condor Hero".

  "Not bad, it's all bookstores, at least ten copies per store. Let the shopkeepers remember that no matter how hard this book is to sell, they must recommend it to outsiders. Of course, family rules, can't buy for themselves either. You go." The middle-aged man said.

  Of course, in the mind of a middle-aged man, although Xiao Jue is extremely intelligent, he has only come into contact with some chivalric novels and wants to write one himself. How easy can it be? However, no matter what, he is the only seed left by his younger brother, and he must take good care of him. Although this requirement is quite ordinary, no matter what, he must help him earn back the 3,000 taels of capital.

  Of course, middle-aged men have no idea what kind of market reaction this book will bring.

  At this time, the demon horn hummed a little tune from his previous life and returned to his residence. The apprentice in his medicine shop had already been waiting for half a day.

  He walked into the house, pointed at a bundle and said to the porter, "That's it, take it away."

  "Ah," said the pharmacy assistant, nodding immediately.

  Of course, the demon king has unparalleled confidence in his future life. Having had a near-death experience as an assassin, he no longer wants to be one - it's too dangerous. As for making money? Well, those who run businesses every day outside don't have time. The demon king doesn't have the interest to use his past business ideas to manage his current industries either. It's better like this: nothing to do but cultivate and practice, eat and play, travel, plagiarize things from his past life - that's enough.

  Of course, for pirating Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Hero", Yao Jiao didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed. Moreover, regarding this book, Yao Jiao was extremely confident. He had also taken some martial arts novels from his family's bookstore, but those authors were all old-fashioned and wrote in a style similar to historical records, only suitable for scholars to read for fun, and not at all like what he had written, which was suitable for the masses.

  Moreover, there were many good books in the past, but why did the demon choose this one? Of course, the main consideration is the range of adaptation. Many books are suitable for one group of people but not for another. However, Jin Yong's books are different, and they seem to be universally appealing to both old and young. The most effective evidence is that this book has been adapted into TV dramas many times, yet there are still many people watching it.

  As for the ancient piracy issue, I'm not clear about it, but with this big family operating, it should definitely be much better.

  As for whether I will continue writing books in the future, it depends on how well this book sells.
