Money is the easiest thing in the world to get.

In the side hall, Lu Qian sat on a chair and counted the pile of thick silver tickets in his hand, the whole person was relaxed and happy, his spirit was refreshed, and his fatigue was gone.

On the side, Ruoshui made an abacus, smiling like the moon: "My lord, at the end of the day, all the 180,000 guides printed by the bookstore were sold, and 180,000 taels of silver were earned, that is, 180,000 taels of gold, excluding the cost, and the net profit was 60,000 taels of gold!"

"Huh, the exclusive monopoly, the net profit is only 30%?"

Lu Gan's hand counting the money paused, then raised his head and frowned and asked.

"There's no way, the printing is all Gangqi Realm martial artists, and a few printing houses are invited to help, and the labor cost is a little higher. ”

Ruoshui smiled.

"I see. How is "100 Commercial Tastings" selling?"

Lu Qian nodded and asked again.

"The tasting sold a little less, and there were 8,000 copies left. But the net profit was also fifteen thousand taels of gold. ”

Ruoshui said, handing over a stack of ledgers.

Lu Gan glanced at it a few times, put it aside, and was about to wait to throw it to Xing Lao Dao to see, and asked with a smile: "If I didn't guess wrong, someone should come to the door to find you!"

"Adults have insight into people's hearts, and little women admire!"

Ruoshui smiled and patted a sycophant: "Those merchants and stores that have been rated one star have come to the door with gifts, ready to ask the bookstore to help them change their ratings." In addition, there are some big merchants and big stores who come to ask why they can't get a residence guide, and a few people also hint that if they can get them on the guide, they can give a lot of benefits. ”

"Hmph! On that guide, the number of visitors has skyrocketed, and some people are naturally red-eyed. How much do they pay for the favor?"

Lu Qian snorted lightly, he had already reached this situation.

Ruoshui stretched out his white and soft palm, and Li Vortex smiled lightly: "They all give this minimum amount! Five thousand taels of silver!"

"Five thousand taels of silver want to be on the list?

Lu Qian pursed his lips.

Not far from the Zhenfu Division is the Taiping Immortal Residence. At noon, he sent Cao Dian to investigate, and found that the Taiping Immortal Residence was booked until half a month later.

The cost of the room has more than tripled! Even the firewood house has been rented! It can be seen that the business is booming!

At the end of the day, I earned more than five thousand taels of silver.

Those guys want to be on the list with five thousand taels of silver, it's just wishful thinking.

"My lord, shall we take this money?"

At this time, Ruoshui asked.

"Take, of course. ”

Lu Gan's eyes were sharp: "If someone is on the list, naturally someone will be on the list." You guess, the big merchants and big stores that have been squeezed off the list have tasted the sweetness, and naturally want to be on the list again, so won't they obediently send money over?"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Ruoshui's eyes lit up: "It's just that how much money is good for this?"

Lu Qian sneered and also stretched out a palm.

Ruoshui looked at it and bit his lip lightly: "Five thousand taels of gold? This is indeed a reasonable price, those big merchants gritted their teeth, someone should give it." ”

"It's 50,000 taels of gold!"

At this time, Lu Qian put down his hand and spoke amazingly.

"What?50,000 taels of gold?" Ruoshui's eyes widened, completely shocked: "My lord, this is ...... It's too dark, isn't it! Who would give 50,000 taels of gold as much!"

"Humph!"

Lu Qian snorted coldly: "I eat a big family! Tell them that 50,000 taels of gold is the price of an annual package! It is okay to only pay a monthly subscription, 8,000 taels of gold a month!"

Hiss.

Can you still play like this?

After hearing this, Ruoshui was shocked and felt that he had opened up a new world.

But she thought about it for a while, looked at Lu Gan, and her willow eyebrows frowned slightly: "My lord, if this matter spreads, those big families will definitely scold you for being black-hearted, which will damage your reputation!

"Fame? How many taels of silver is fame?"

Lu Qian glanced at her: "Besides, if the money collected by the Water Book Bureau is collected, what does it matter to me to calm down the Si Lu Gan?"

"Uh......"

For a moment, Ruoshui felt so big that a mouthful of black cauldron was buckled on his head, but he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

"Don't worry, it's the money they paid voluntarily, where can they go to sue? In the end, it didn't sue the Suppression Division, do you think I will pay attention to them?"

Lu Qian waved his hand slightly and said indifferently.

That's the same thing. ”

After Ruoshui figured it out, he no longer dwelled on this matter, and asked respectfully like a well-behaved female student: "Then Lord Lu, the hundred commercial tastes are printed once a month, and we also accept the money sent by those small shops? How much is appropriate? This morning, the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn came to the door and directly sent a hundred taels of gold, wanting to change the evaluation of the Yuelai Inn from one star to three stars. ”

"This money cannot be collected. ”

Lu Qian shook his head, his eyes were firm: "The big shops on that guide are actually not much different, and it doesn't matter who makes the list." But the 100 commercial tastings encompass the entire county, and the most important thing is a fairness, so that someone will buy it. ”

"Then they don't take their money?"

Ruoshui sighed.

Although the money of these small households is small, it adds up to a lot, which is also a considerable amount.

"Why don't you accept it?"

At this time, Lu Gan showed a strategic smile on his face: "We don't collect money directly, but sell good reviews?"

"What do you mean?"

Ruoshui smacked for a moment.

Lu Qian explained: "Ruoshui Book Company specially prints a kind of paper, stamps it with a special large seal, and sells it to various stores. Each store distributes these to customers who have made a purchase, and then asks them to fill out a review. A month later, if the Water Book Company sends someone to take back these papers, those with more positive reviews will be promoted to stars, and those with more negative reviews will be lowered. ”

"Positive, negative?"

Hearing Lu Gan's words, Ruoshui fell into deep thought, and after a moment, her eyes lit up: "In this way, if that Yuelai Inn wants to ascend to the star, it will buy more of this kind of paper, so that people can brush it up!

After figuring it out, she couldn't help but look up at Lu Qian with a light of incomparable admiration and admiration.

What kind of brain did Lord Lu have to think of this way to make money!

This one sells books to the people, and the other receives the benefits of merchants, both ends eat, don't think about it, you know that you can make a lot of money!

But after thinking about it, Ruoshui Liu's eyebrows frowned again: "My lord, but in this way, those shops that brush up on praise will make many people fooled." When the people feel that they have been deceived, will they turn around and scold our bookstore? I vaguely feel that my conscience is a little uneasy. ”

"Besides, it's okay to be scolded, do you delay us to make money? Even if someone comes to the door, you can explain it casually, and people with brains will turn their heads and scold the store for good reviews, and they won't blame the bookstore at all. ”

Lu Qian put away the silver ticket and replied casually.

"That's the same thing. ”

At this time, Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed softly: "Lord Lu, you are really smart! The little woman is so impressed that she fell to the ground! How did you come up with this idea?"

"What's so difficult about coming up with it just by thinking about it?"

Lu Qian smiled indifferently, and took it for granted that the credit for his previous life was attributed to himself.

Then, his expression was solemn and he narrowed his eyes: "Actually, the idea is not important. The important thing is the power in my hands. Without power, the money doesn't go into my pocket. If I fall, all the good things that seem in front of me will instantly collapse and turn into ruins. ”

Because of this, he wanted to kill the Yuan family!

Behind the Yuan family is the eldest princess, the twenty-third prince, and with their existence, it is impossible for him to make money with peace of mind.

Ruoshui instantly understood, nodded and said, "If Shui knows, please rest assured, Ruoshui will be more cautious." By the way, something happened to the bookstore recently. ”

"Huh, what's the matter?"

Lu Qian turned his head and asked.

"It's the Flying Sky View, the White Moon Streamer Mountain. Their disciples had a dispute in the bookstore, arguing over the ranking of their respective sects' Heavenly Rank Divine Skills, and then the matter became so big that they decided to compete in Qingyang Lake three days later. This matter seems to be a bit of a big fuss, and many gambling stalls have already opened handicaps. ”

Ruoshui frowned and said.

"How unreasonable is this! These sect disciples have conducted illegal assemblies and private brawls without reporting, and they are simply unreasonable!"

When Lu Qian heard this, he slammed the table and stood up, and said angrily.

When Ruoshui saw this, he couldn't help but praise in his heart: Lord Lu is really dedicated to his duties and spares no effort for the peace of Qingyang County, he is simply the master of Qingtian!

At this moment, Lu Qian turned his head and said coldly: "Ruoshui!

"Huh

In an instant, Ruoshui was stunned, and his jaw was completely shocked.

This familiar taste, the familiar recipe, is the Lu Qian she knows, and it has never changed. But how does it feel so respectable?

Ruoshui pondered for a long time, and finally a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lord Lu, he's a good person.
