When he first crossed, he found that he was poor and destitute, and Qin Bai had been worrying about where to get money. However, reincarnation is not good, and he did not cross into any rich and noble family. Invention and creation are even more illusory, and it is even more impossible to study for the imperial examination. Although literate, the content of the imperial examination and the college entrance examination is completely different, I really want to take that road, not to mention anything else, Qin Bai has his own IQ and learning ability, but the ten-year cold window is certain. But wait ten years? Qin Bai: The grass on their graves was three feet high.

So after thinking about it, Qin Bai decided to draw comics, and it was that kind of comic. Of course, he still has a temperament, not the naked kind, in modern terms, at least wearing a bikini. But in this era, it is enough to make the blood of those men boil.

For Qin Bai, except for the habit of using a brush, it is not difficult to draw comics. In his previous life, he was not in good conditions since he was a child, and his mother worked in a match factory that closed down in a few years. And there is no shortage of comics, and the gangsters like to read comics with messy content, just copy and make them up, anyway, the main selling point of that kind of comic is not the content inside. Therefore, Qin Bai bought paper and pencils, and soon quietly drew a few volumes, but then the biggest problem - how to sell them!

Don't look at this as a dynasty that wrote "The Golden Vase Plum", but the social atmosphere is still quite conservative. Want to sell it publicly? That's "hehe", to be honest, disasters from the sky are possible. For example, if a certain young lady appears in her study and is discovered by the old lady of those big families, and finds that you have no background, they will send you to the yamen, and then give a hint, and it is possible to kill you on the spot. In the eyes of those old men, the cheap lives of the common people are not worth anything at all.

What about through channels? Those bookstores dare to sell, they all have a background behind them, and they are not very afraid of those big families. However, not to mention being ruthlessly plucked off a layer of skin, the key is to guard against other people's eyes. In this era, there is no rule of law at all, and if you can make money, sometimes it is the original sin. Without the ability to protect yourself, you are a leek that can move in the eyes of others, nothing more than waiting for someone and time to harvest.

Therefore, the first thing to solve is the channel problem, Qin Bai can't carry a satchel and wear sunglasses, guarding the door of those big Zhumen households, and ask one when he comes: "Do you want a film?" ”

There is another question, of course, which is also important. The modern cartoon characters with five heads and seven heads do not suit the tastes of those people in the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, Qin Bai decided to quietly test sell, and he and Li Dang each carried a few copies with them. The reason used is the "picked up album", the effect is both gains and losses, there is really no chance, until today, Qin Bai relied on white things to contact the wealthy son for the first time. But the market feedback is good, after all, modern comic book characters and content have a surprising appeal to people in this era. Li Kang was much more reckless than Qin Bai, so he adopted the method of killing a blind cat on the street, and sold three copies in a short time, but the price was relatively low.

Somehow, this news actually reached Qiu Bo's ears, and it was estimated that Li Kang's recklessness was the fault. If Qiu Bo really knew that he had a way, there was no doubt that he would definitely be stripped of nothing. Although Qin Bai's expression remained unchanged at this time, his eyes were much colder: "Master Qiu, we are indeed lucky to pick up a few, but which bookstore is not open for sale?" How many taels? A few dozen copper plates are very good! Bastard, which one is chewing his tongue behind his back? Let me know that the master will let his blood go! ”

After saying this, Qin Bai's eyes swept around, and he looked ruthless. Qiu Bo glanced at Qin Bai and slowed down his tone: "Don't make noise, it's all your own brothers, it's okay to scold a few words, do you slap me in the face with shouting and killing?" ”

Qiu Bo actually didn't believe that Qin Bai could make a few taels at once, and he didn't know that Qin Bai painted it himself, so he really thought that he was lucky enough to pick up a few. The books in the bookstore, such as "The Book of Plain Women" and the Spring * Palace paintings, are all sold openly, and the sales are tied with those imperial examination books in the forefront, the competition is fierce, and of course the price is not very high. And Qiu Bo just now was nothing more than a temptation, in fact, he was quite relieved of Qin Bai. When he was young, he had never seen much of the world, and he was easily brainwashed by "loyalty and righteousness". On the contrary, those who are older will change their minds because of interests.

beckoning, Qiu Bo and the others led Qin Bai into the inner room, and the small amount of money had already received in his arms. Several people found a chair and sat down, and Qiu Bo introduced Qin Bai: "I happened to have something to look for today, this is Niu Sanye." ”

"Third Master Niu!" Qin Bai stood up and saluted. In the habits of his previous life, Qin Bai has always paid special attention to his salutation and handling of things, and he has always been polite. Never offend people for no reason, even if you have any ideas, you are willing to speak with your own actions.

Niu Sanye had already swept away the bent knees and hunched back of the Ding Ye just now, and there was a sense of arrogance in his words: "A certain is now a mixed well family village, and friends in the rivers and lakes love him, and he also has a little reputation there." ”

Qin Bai was taken aback, he knew about that Jingjiazhuang. It is not far from Laizhou City, only more than thirty miles, and there are many private iron smelters concentrated in Jingjiazhuang, and all parties are mixed. If it is really as this Niu Sanye said, he can gain a foothold in Jingjiazhuang and make a name for himself there, then the strength of this Niu Sanye is not small.

In ancient times, the truth of "the imperial power is not under the county" is not nonsense, as long as the county seat is out, the rural boundaries are basically controlled by the powerful villagers in various places. Jingjiazhuang is also a place full of mine bosses and big capitalists, even if it is replaced now, the security is not much better, and in the era of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that there is no royal law at all. Whoever has more fists and bigger fists will be able to speak!

"Bai Er, can you find someone there? Niu Sanye is very short of manpower here. Qiu Bo opened his mouth to ask, "You know Kuhaha, Niu Sanye has opened a new mine there, as long as you can work, you can give you 100 yuan for tea by introducing one." ”

Qin Bai's brows furrowed slightly. There are indeed many homeless orphans in his neighborhood, and a few of them even have a good relationship with him. But to work in a private mine? Think about those modern black mines? The miners of this era were even worse, even less than slaves. There is basically no one in ten who can survive for three years, and it is simply a fatal job. Therefore, in the past, even if Qin Bai could no longer find a job, he would never dare to leave this Laizhou City, and he would never go to Jingjiazhuang to be a mining slave.

Such a lack of morality, of course Qin Bai would not agree. He just wanted to refuse, but he didn't expect that Third Master Niu saw Qin Bai's hesitation, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "This side is definitely not a death deed, just sign it for three years, and the food management is enough to pay back the salary." If you don't believe it, Qiu Ye can vouch for it here. If Brother Bai is willing to come with a face, he can give you three taels now. You don't need to work, you can be a steward. ”
