The influence of literature in this era is far greater than that of later generations, because there is no radio, no television, and no computer in the information age. Novel is one of the most common ways of entertainment. Therefore, the literature market will always be in a state of hunger. The appearance of an excellent literary work is like throwing a bomb into a calm lake, and the ripples spread greatly.

The literary world in Elroy is in a strange state. On the one hand, many readers come into contact with the count of Monte Cristo from various channels and offer praise for this work. On the other hand, the mainstream literary media are deliberately concealing information about the count of Monte Cristo, and qualified regular bookstores can't even find the shadow of the book.

More and more readers ask Leonard bookstore and publishing house for information about count of Monte Cristo. Leonard publishing house has been under great pressure from all sides. After a long time, people with clear eyes know that count of Monte Cristo is being suppressed by the mainstream media, and the only one with such great energy in the publishing industry is leonard publishing house, the leader.

The lower class talked about it, while the upper class knew it well, but they didn't break it. As we all know, Leonard Publishing House awarded the Leonard prize for contributions to the work "wild rose" of Elroy family members some time ago. At that time, "count of Monte Cristo" also appeared in the collection of novels, but it disappeared because it didn't win the prize.

At that time, many readers thought that there was an inside story in the solicitation. Now, the wild rose is far from the count of Monte Cristo. It seems that everything has become a joke like the king's new clothes. Because the king is the king, no one dares to reveal the essence of this matter.

Leonard press has a lot to suffer from. The accumulation of public opinion will make them lose their credibility, but they can't choose to admit that they're losing sight. Admitting that they're beating the Elroy family in the face, and Beilock chose to stand in line and need to stand to the end. As he said, weeds are the most unpopular type in the society.

Beilock's decision was very decisive and correct. The only thing he didn't expect was that the impact of count of Monte Cristo was greater than he thought, beyond the control of the largest publishing house in Elroy. Of course, ordinary novels can't do it. The count of Monte Cristo is exquisitely packaged by Harvey. The cover, punctuation marks and writing style created by Harvey make a lot of eyes.

Leonard family, a spacious and dark study, now the owner of the Leonard family is negotiating with Beilock to solve the immediate difficulties.

Duke Bernard is a shrewd businessman. Thirty years ago, like other noble families, the Bernard family was in trouble because of the explosive economic growth. An aristocrat without financial support was just a nominal title. At that time, he decided to gamble all his family's savings to enter the publishing industry. Today, although he no longer manages the publishing house, He is one of the most important figures in the society.

Facing the report submitted by his son, Beilock, he put down his eyes, folded his hands and said calmly: "my son, your decision is not wrong. No matter how excellent a novel is, it's just a novel. This is not the capital, and the Literary Association will not make a contribution to the literary works of a small place. But the decision is right. It's true that it will affect the reputation of Leonard publishing house. Anyway, we need to suppress these public opinions. We represent the Elroy family in this incident. There should be no one against us, even the guy Alfred! "

Beilock changed his strong worry in front of outsiders and sighed: "father, what I am more worried about is how the Elroy family will look at this matter. For a time, I thought that my judgment was no longer wise. After all, the wild rose is a work of the second son of the family, which can't represent the will of the count."

"Of course, but there are so many people in Elroy who want to please the count but have no way."

"So..." Beilock looked at his father and waited for the conclusion.

"We just faithfully perform the role of a loyal dog and play the role of a clown. As long as we have value, the Elroy family will not abandon us. From another point of view, this incident has promoted the binding relationship between us and the Elroy family. The key is the attitude and method of dealing with this matter. In short, we need to block all the dirty water for the Elroy family. "

Beiluoke exclaimed for his father's long-term vision: "in your analysis, it doesn't sound bad."

On the contrary, Duke shook his head: "on the contrary, it's absolutely not good. Once we can't completely stop the dirty water, the Elroy family will abandon us."

"There's nothing to worry about. We have the largest publishing house in the city and the right to speak."

"Baroque, are you belittling the influence of literature and novelists?"

He nodded arrogantly: "they are just people with little wisdom. Even if they write a book, they can't be as rich as us."

"Stupid!" Duke yelled in a deep voice.

Beilock looked at his father in surprise: "I thought you thought the same as me."

"I do take novels as commodities, but I never dare to read a work or a novelist. You may have some doubts, of course, because you have never been to the capital of the Kingdom, where a writer, especially a novelist, is far more popular than you think. They are a powerful force in the social circle. Can you imagine that there are even some big people in the writers who are as high as dukes, even though most of them have never owned wealth or granted rights, They are the leaders of culture. God, don't you understand our situation? " Duke hated the iron, but he patted the table and felt a headache for his son's stupid idea.

It's normal for Beilock to have such an idea, but it may be this kind of idea that leads to the present situation, and Duke is sure that it will lead the situation to the worst.

In the face of his father's anger, Beilock was confused and shook his head.

The old nobleman sighed: "we can suppress the count of Monte Cristo in the whole city, but once the work is out of Elroy, I don't know whether the masters of the capital Literary Association like it as well. They even need a sentence of evaluation to decide everything today."

"Dear Mr. Alexander

Hello, we haven't seen each other for a long time since the last party, but I haven't left your work one day. I admire your wisdom, marvel at your ingenious conception, and I always feel from the bottom of my heart that you are definitely one of the greatest novelists in the history of Elroy.

The count of Monte Cristo is a great innovation in the history of fiction···

······

Therefore, please forgive me for acting on my own. I have sent a printed copy of the count of Monte Cristo to my friend in the capital. He is a member of the Literary Association there. He is the representative of the national literature. There are more writers with excellent quality and high literary self-cultivation. Your works will certainly get a fair evaluation there《 The count of Monte Cristo should not be limited to Elroy, it should be seen by all readers who like literature.

Your friend and faithful reader, Scott Adams, wrote on October 4, the baronian calendar

Harvey sat on his sofa, drank milk and read the envelope. He didn't feel disgusted by Scott's sending the count of Monte Cristo to the Literary Association. For him, everything was in the past. His debts were paid off, and during this period, Pran gave him a large publishing profit of 31827 barons, which was enough for him to spend some time.

What is he interested in now? In addition to the slow preparation to finish the second half of the count of Monte Cristo, the attribute panel in his mind gave him a very rich reward based on the impact of the count of Monte Cristo, which was enough to let him step into the mysterious caster field.
