Kong Rong has a relationship with the local Taishou, so it will be easy to do, Liu Xian made an appointment with Kong Rong and went to Beihai County Mansion together another day to meet Taishou Liu Jie.

Kong Rong and his wife sent Liu Xian out of the study with satisfaction, and the two daughters were still waiting, so they returned to their residence together.

The reason why Kong Rong and they are satisfied is mainly because the blueprint that Liu Xian has drawn for them is indeed very big, if everything is according to what Liu Xian said, then in the next four or five years, their Kong family will really make a lot of money.

Bookshop? This is an industry that has never existed, and it is really troublesome for ordinary people to buy books. If you want to buy a book, you first have to know who has the book you want, then you have to go to the door to buy it, and after that, you have to ask someone else to copy it for them.

Of course, there are still places similar to bookstores, and you can buy books on a regular basis. However, those places are not accessible to ordinary people, and those who can buy books in those places are basically either rich or expensive.

This, in fact, is equivalent to the situation of the Kong family.

The Han family is not the only one who sells books, there will also be some booksellers in this world, but these must meet them, and they must have money, and they must have the books they need.

The industry of selling books can be said to be just a budding industry in this big man, and it has a lot of room for development.

One of the most important is the difficulty of printing this book, in this world, basically all books have to be copied by hand, and they can be copied by both hands. Therefore, books will always be in short supply in this big Han.

In Dahan, there are actually many scholars who rely on copying books to make a living.

Because it is not easy to circulate books, the high value of books has directly made many people have no opportunity to read and write. In fact, this can also be illustrated from the situation when Liu Xian recruited scholars to do things for himself when he was in Yangshi County.

A county town has a population of about 100,000, and even after so many disasters, there are only 30,000 people left. But among so many people, how many people are really readers? Not to mention the real readers, they are those who know a few big characters, and one is counted as one, and Liu Xiancai has recruited more than 100 people in total.

The cultural penetration rate of the Han is so low that the entire Han Dynasty, the average people, is estimated to be 8 to 90% illiterate.

If you open a bookstore to sell books, how many people will come to buy books at that time?

The Kong family knows best how much money they can make by selling books, but unfortunately, they have always had to copy books by hand. Now that Liu Xian has a large supply of all kinds of different books, they are still afraid that they will not be able to make money?

At this moment, Kong Rong and his wife really agree with this young son-in-law in their hearts.

Back at the residence arranged for Liu Xian, Kong Xue was full of joy, but she was a little shy, and asked Liu Xian: "Brother Liu Xian, what did you talk to your father and mother?" Why are they so happy? ”

"How about talking about our family affairs? Sister Cher, are you happy? Will you marry me? Look at what day they chose this time, when the time comes, I will marry you, and in the future, you will live with me in Liulin Village. Are you willing to leave your parents? Liu Xian held her hand and said.

"I also like Brother Liu Xian, my father and mother have said that this man should marry and the woman should get married, and sooner or later they will get married. After becoming a parent, it is natural to marry a chicken and a dog and a dog. Kong Xue lowered her head and whispered in shyness.

"Okay, so isn't that boy a chicken and a dog?"

"Huh? No, no, no. That's not what people mean, ah, you, you're playing tricks on people...... Chattered...... Don't, it's itchy there...... Sister Yan'er is still there......"

Liu Xian deliberately teased Kong Xue and hugged her soft waist, making her both shy and itchy, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Xian took Cai Yan, who was standing on the side and snickering, into his arms, hugged left and right, and bowed his head to Kong Xue, who was trembling in his arms: "When the time comes, I will also marry Yan'er together, as well as Zhang Ning, Wudie, and Xiaojing, in the future, you will all be your own sisters, and you will be together together." ”

Kong Xue's body stiffened for a moment, but soon softened again. She actually saw that there was a problem between Liu Xian and Cai Yan, and now that Liu Xian said it, it proved her conjecture in her heart.

This is also instinctive, and as soon as I heard this, I was naturally a little reluctant in my heart. But she also knows very well that men, three wives and four concubines are really the most normal. She has never had the idea that Liu Xian can only have her as a woman in her life. Therefore, between this thought, she was relieved and accepted.

On the contrary, at this time, she couldn't behave like a jealous woman, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, in this way, people and Sister Yan'er can be together for the rest of their lives." But...... Brother Liu Xian, you are too careful, when did you mention your relationship with Sister Cai Yan? People don't know. ”

"Sister Kong Xue, don't listen to his nonsense, let's go, let's talk in private." Cai Yan looked a little embarrassed, but she felt that she had an obligation to help Liu Xian at this time, so as not to embarrass Liu Xian, and also to avoid making Kong Xue angry with Liu Xian.

"Let's go? Where are you going? ”

Liu Xian watched Cai Yan pull Kong Xue away from his arms, and said with some reluctance.

"I haven't seen Sister Xue'er for so long, so we both slept together tonight and talked about my daughter's private words. Rest here by yourself, let's go, Sister Cher, take my sister to your incense pavilion to have a look. ”

"Okay, then...... Brother Liu Xian, people will come to you tomorrow morning. Rest early and good night!"

Kong Xue was pulled by Cai Yan and turned around to say goodbye to Liu Xian.

"Uh-huh, let's go, let's go." Liu Xian didn't hold back anymore and waved them away.

It didn't take long for Kong Xue to take Cai Yan to her incense pavilion.

asked the maid to bring snacks and tea, and the two girls drank tea while talking about their daughter's private conversation.

Cai Yan first explained her matter with Liu Xian to Kong Xue, and saw that Kong Xue was indeed not angry because of her affair with Liu Xian, so she relieved herself. Then I told Kong Xue about Liu Xian and the other women.

Xiaojing was picked up and raised by Liu Xianniang when she was a child, and she grew up with Liu Xian, which can be described as a childhood sweetheart. The relationship between the two is also so good, and it is reasonable to marry Liu Xian. If it weren't for Liu Xian's mother-in-law who had always planned to find the right family for Liu Xian, Liu Xian might have married Xiaojing as his wife.

In addition, Zhang Ning and Liu Xian, as well as Huang Wudie and Yi Ji, all told Kong Xue.

With that, the little discomfort in Kong Xue's heart was gone.

It turned out that those women all had that kind of relationship with Liu Xian, so Liu Xian really couldn't bear them. On the contrary, she felt that if she was not the daughter of the Kong family, she might not be qualified to be Liu Xian's wife.

Moreover, she found that her relationship with Liu Xian may not be as deep as that of other women and Liu Xian, which made her a little flustered. At least she really knows very little about Liu Xian, and Sister Cai Yan around her knows much more than her. She felt that this would not work, and she must be more with Brother Liu Xian in the future and understand Brother Liu Xian more.

But Liu Xian didn't go to bed early, he saw Huang Zhong and them.

Huang Zhonghu came with the dowry gift given to the Confucian Mansion, but did not leave, but arrived here and was drinking with Wang Yue.

There are also Xu Shang and Qian Kuan, they actually came together.

The Liu Mansion caravan actually doesn't have any reputation in this Beihai land. Occasionally, some people have heard of Liu Xian's deeds, but they have not yet reached the point where everyone knows about them.

But this Liu Mansion caravan was too large, which was enough to attract the attention of Beihai City.

They've been here for two or three days, and within two or three days, they've actually started selling their goods.

They first set up a camp outside the city.

This camp is divided into several areas, one area is for people, one area is for storing these various goods of the caravan, and the other area is an open area, which is equivalent to opening a temporary bazaar.

These were made by Xu Shang after consulting with the other merchants who came with the Liu Mansion caravan. Liu Xian gave Xu Shang a big thumbs up. In Liu Xian's words, what they do is actually equivalent to a commodity fair, which may also be the world's first real commodity fair.

After they made these actions, the first thing they did was to send people into the city, and publicize what kind of goods were in the camp of the Liu Fu caravan outside the city, hoping that the people in need would go and buy them. In addition, they also visited many merchants and shops in Beihai City and discussed business with those merchants.

For example, the most carried by the Liu Mansion caravan should be cloth. However, in Dahan, in fact, there will be cloth merchants everywhere. It's just that most of the cloth merchants are generally self-produced and sold, limited to productivity, and they generally only operate in one place, and rarely do business anywhere else.

Suddenly, a caravan trafficked a large amount of cloth to the city, which would definitely have a great impact on the cloth merchants in the original Beihai City.

In these ancient times, it was really not easy to do business. Those who can do business will not be ordinary ordinary people, at least, they have their background relationships. No one likes others to steal their business, so, one is not good, they can indeed use their background to order the Liu Mansion caravan not to sell certain goods in Beihai City. Even, you can take advantage of the excellent relationship between the government and the government to "invite" the Liu Mansion caravan away.

This kind of situation is indeed a very normal thing, this big man does not have a commercial protection law, you go to someone else's territory, others want to drive you away, they will drive you away, one is not good, and your goods are detained, openly robbed and secretly robbed, and your caravan can't eat and go around.

Fortunately, the momentum of the Liu Mansion caravan is indeed too huge, with a caravan of nearly 10,000 people, with two or three thousand people and horses to escort it, such a caravan is really rare. Such people, even the officers and soldiers of a county government, dare not provoke easily. In this way, for the time being, the Liu Mansion caravan has not yet encountered anyone who dares to be so bold and dare to use their brains against the Liu Mansion caravan.

Now, Xu Shang and those merchants can be regarded as giving enough face to the local merchants, and they visited them first, clearly saying that they have any goods to sell in Beihai City. If they are willing to eat the goods of the Liu Mansion caravan in bulk, they can give them the parity, that is, the wholesale price of the later generations. If they don't want it, then the Liu Mansion Caravan will start selling and sell it at a lower value, so that it will have an impact on their similar goods, and they can't blame the Liu Mansion Caravan for not saying hello in advance.

In fact, the average businessman who deals in the same kind of goods will consider eating a batch of goods. After all, such an opportunity is rare, and they themselves cannot produce so many goods at once. They bought a batch at a fair price, which could be used as a condition, and the Liu Fu caravan could promise them not to deliberately lower the price and sell it in large quantities.

This is a win-win situation for both parties, ordinary businessmen, they all choose to cooperate with the Liu Mansion caravan. If they cooperate, the camp of the Liu Mansion caravan outside the city is also allowed to bring their own goods to the exhibition and sell together, which can be regarded as allowing those who go to buy to shop around.

In the Han Dynasty, there were already many merchants, and the quality of each similar commodity was different for different merchants, and each had its own advantages and disadvantages.

Liu Xian was very satisfied with Xu Shang's way of handling these matters.

In this way, we can improve the relationship with local businessmen, so that they can gain a foothold here and open shops in the future. At the very least, it won't be too easy to be ostracized by local businessmen.

Now there is a lack of government relations.
