Wenyuan Book Store is the largest book store in Yuliang County, from everyone's paintings, calligraphy, and solitary books, to the four treasures of the study room that ordinary literati need, everything is available.

Lin Xiao was also curious about the things of this era, so he chose a copy of "Three Character Classic" at random, and asked for five dollars of silver. She secretly said to herself, this "Three Character Classic" is an enlightenment reading, and it is so expensive, so it is so expensive to catch up with the money.

In such a comparison, the price of the previous musical instrument shop is also fair.

There are people in the bookstore who are buying pen and ink and the like, and Xiao Bu looks at the neatly placed books, and his eyes show longing.

Lin Xiao saw this qiē in his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll teach you to read and write when I go back, and when you're older, I'll send you to school." ”

"Really?" The little one's eyes lit up visibly, and then they dimmed. "You don't have any money to eat." There is no silver for him to read?

"Of course it's true." was suspected by a little kid, Lin Xiao felt very unhappy. "You don't believe it? As you can see, I have earned ten taels of silver today, and it is not a problem for you to study. But you have to be obedient, or else, hum. Threatening a child, Lin Xiao didn't feel ashamed at all.

Xiao Bu sniffed a little, looking disdainful. "Everyone goes to a private school to study, what school are you going to send me to, and I don't have a good heart when I hear it."

Lin Xiao: "......" should really throw this bear child to Xu Lang. "The school I'm talking about is a private school, but it's called another way, it's terrible to be uneducated." The little guy looked at her in disbelief, Lin Xiao straightened his chest, raised his head, and tried to make a credible appearance.

Books and everything are too expensive, Lin Xiao chose a copy of "The Chronicles of Great Qi Scenery", which is still the kind of simple cover, and it costs two taels of silver.

This is so expensive!

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth...... Still don't buy it.

There must be a limit to willfulness.

"Boss, get me two knives of this paper, and two brushes, five ink blocks, and an inkstone, all of which are the cheapest." Lin Xiao felt that he was a poor person now, so it was better to keep a low profile.

Rao chose the cheapest thing, and spent a total of seven dollars of silver, which was still Lin Xiao inked with people for a long time, and cut off seventy yuan by bargaining.

The young man helped to pack the things, and said with a bitter face: "Girl, you can really bargain." "It's the first time he's seen him say that, and no one of the guys has ever said anything about this girl.

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and the pale cyan short outfit matches her fair skin, which makes her young and beautiful. "Little second brother, don't be like this, I will come more in the future, and I will recommend my friends to come, so that the reputation is there, are you still worried about no business? Do you think that's the truth? ”

The young man nodded and muttered, "I hope your friends aren't all like you." Lin Xiao smiled sullenly, "No, no, how can it." After all, not everyone is as smart as me. ”

Boy: "...... girl, are you really so confident?"

Lin Xiao was carrying something, a little heavy, and was ready to wait for Xu Lang at the door of the bookstore. She asked casually, "Your books here are too expensive, haven't you thought about small profits but quick sales?" ”

There is no one in the bookstore, and Lin Xiao is beautiful, and the young man is also happy to answer. "Small profits and quick turnover, the owner doesn't lose money? Who is willing to make a loss-making business. These books are copied one by one, should you find someone to copy the book cheaply? ”

Lin Xiao was stunned, could it be that there is no printing technology in this era? No, I read a few books before, and they were obviously printed.

"Isn't there a printing press? Why do you still find someone to copy books? "This artificial, of course, is more expensive than the machine.

"There is printing, but it is all in the hands of the imperial court, ordinary book stores cannot be printed casually, and the cost of printing books in the printing bureau opened by the imperial court is also high...... Besides, not all books can be printed, and some books are better copied by someone. ”

After listening to the young man's words, Lin Xiao faintly understood. In this era, the printing technology was still a little backward, and books were still very precious.

Alas, I really regret that I didn't study ancient history well, otherwise if I made an advanced printing technology, would I have silver? Of course, Lin Xiao also thinks about it, unless she is this professional, even if she is familiar with ancient history, she will not be able to make advanced printing. She was concerned about something else.

"Do you still copy books?" She writes right and right just to exercise her mental strength, and if she makes money by the way, it would be great.

"Girl, you want to copy a book?" This time it was the young man's turn to be surprised, not that he looked down on Lin Xiao, but, "The girl has no fame, but we don't dare to use it in Wenyuan's book." Wenyuan Book Store is the largest book store in Youzhou Mansion, and the owner has high requirements for books. ”

was despised, but Lin Xiao was not angry, "Although I don't have a reputation, my words are still good." Isn't copying a book just asking for a word to look good, what does it have to do with fame? Could it be that those who take the test must be better than those who are tested for children? The young man who asked a sentence was speechless. I don't have to say anything about it, just ask the big shopkeeper. The young man was still good, and immediately brought Lin Xiao to the shopkeeper.

Wenyuan's book line is very large, and there are naturally a lot of books needed. The shopkeeper didn't talk nonsense, and his eyes lit up when he saw Lin Xiao's words. Don't look at it as a woman, this girl's words are really good, faintly with a murderous atmosphere, not like the words of the ordinary daughter's family, but it is still self-contained.

"Girl, this is a good word, you can copy the book here." The shopkeeper didn't talk nonsense, and directly took a few books with inconsistent thicknesses, "Copying such a book of about twenty pages is two coins of silver, we all count silver according to the number of pages, the owner takes care of the children of the poor family, it is not easy to read, and generally a page full of words is ten dollars." Although the girl doesn't test her fame, she rushes to the girl's good hand, and I make the decision to let the girl copy the book, I don't know which one the girl wants to copy? "There are a lot of books in demand, but they are all valuable, Lin Xiao is a newcomer, so naturally she won't let them all take away.

A page of a book costs ten dollars, although it has to be full of words, and the price is also very much. Steamed buns are only two pennies a piece, so one page of the book is enough to buy five steamed buns. Sure enough, this scholar is good at making money.

Lin Xiao felt that those who read in his previous life were hungry and couldn't eat, so why didn't he know how to make extra money?

At this point, she has gone into a misunderstanding, she is a woman, she does not need to test her fame, so she naturally has time to copy books. A real reader needs a lot of time to read books to prepare for scientific examinations, so how can he waste a lot of time copying books.

Lin Xiao chose it, and immediately chose a scripture of about 30 pages, which belongs to the examination reference book and is one of the best-selling books. "Shopkeeper, I'll copy the book, you will come up with all this ink, paper and inkstone, right?" When you are short of money, you naturally have to calculate everything.

The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched, he had seen Lin Xiao's bargaining skills before, but he didn't say anything. Now...... "Girl, the price of copying books in our Wenyuan Book Store has always been very high, and this paper is from us, but this ink is only afraid that the girl will come out by herself." Without waiting for Lin Xiao to speak, the shopkeeper calculated an account for her, "Excluding the cost, a page of a book can make six to eight big money, and if the girl is diligent, she can copy about twenty pages a day." "Emotional people understand everything.
