The Shanhai Book Society store in Xixiao City integrates bookstores, workshops, stables, and scholar's amusement places, and is divided into three rooms, three bays, specifications, sizes, and decorations, none of which violates the rules of the imperial court etiquette, and appears low-key and mysterious.

The celebrities on the household registration of the store are Luo Gaocai and Zheng Yexiao, and Mrs. Xing in the courtyard of the deep house has heard of it, but she doesn't know that Jia Cong is the backbone. Da Shun Xungui almost did not come forward to do business in person, and they were all in the name of slaves and distant relatives, and they controlled it remotely behind their backs.

It is this small bookstore that has made a name for itself in Xixiaoshi, because they were the first to publish the works and anthologies of Jia Cong, the first prodigy of Dashun.

Famous and famous readers are destined to be hot-sellers, and Jia Cong is the winner of Wanping's small three yuan, which will inevitably cause people to learn and observe. Of course, the review of the text should also be accurate, distinctive, and to the point, and play a guiding role, otherwise it will not be easy to sell, but it will lose its own reputation, and it is not easy to do anything.

Reviewing the current text, Jia Cong started to do it after the completion of the college examination in June, and selected the candidates who were excellent or unsuccessful at regular intervals, pointed out the reasons, gathered them into a collection, published and engraved the list, and called "Jia Zili's Commentary on the Eight Strands".

Shaking and sipping a sip of tea, after commenting on dozens of articles, Jia Cong did eye exercises, pushed the window and looked at the west small market, Shanhai Book Society is located in the northwest of the crossroads, not very close to the Xuanwu Gate, but to the north you can see the city hole, the officers and soldiers guarding the door, the vegetable market full of people, there are also four arches on the side of the west small market, just in the south, opposite to the east four arches, four pillars and three bucket arches, pillars, dark brown paint.

Papermaking and printing are one of the four great inventions of China, but the real explosive impact on the country is too small, and the four great inventions are used in Western Europe instead...... After the Middle Ages, will China in this time and space still change from leading to backward?

The little chubby dun Zheng Yeyu went upstairs, wearing a staff suit, and raised his eyebrows: "Childe, good news, at this time, Wen is really better than other books!" In just one month, thousands of copies have been sold, and one has made a lot of money, and we have also made thousands of taels, but Childe's approval is more ......"

During the prosperous period of the imperial examination system, the whole society was proud of it for hundreds of years and thousands of miles. Second, Shiwen lives up to its name, timeliness and speed, and there is competition in this industry, and it has to be faster than its peers, fast and good.

At this time, Zheng Yexiao really realized that it was not difficult for a celebrity like Jia Cong to make money, and he was desperate and had no complaints.

"I have never done business, but I can also see the comparison between income and payment, and I also know that small profits and quick turnover, and a long stream of water is fundamental." Jia Cong also said happily: "By the way, how many banknotes do you have to go through to traffic books from Jiangnan?" How many people are there? ”

"I have Beixin (Hangzhou), Hushu (Suzhou), Yangzhou, Huai'an, Jiujiang, Linqing, and Hexi...... If you return from Zhejiang, you will have to go through ten banknote customs, and the banknote guards have the practice of adding money to the government regulations, but if you are an old acquaintance, you can discuss some ......"

"The Grand Canal boat line is much faster than the land route, and it is not a problem to travel three or four hundred miles a day, but we only have one hundred or ten people now, and we can't afford to raise more, what is the son going to do?" Zheng Yeyu said vigilantly.

There are a lot of business opportunities and profits! When you arrive in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is no problem at all to buy some folk silk, porcelain, and local specialties! The commodity economy has been booming in the early Ming Dynasty! Although silk, salt and iron are official monopolies, merchants are still profitable, and they mistakenly close off the country! Conceited! Lake silk, porcelain, Songjiang cotton cloth, white silver, amazing profits, most of which were made by Western maritime merchants!

Zheng He went to the West, China's fleet was the world's leading, and Spain was still in the groping stage at that time! In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Vasco da Gama and Columbus both completed their voyages, firstly, technological progress, secondly, Western government support, while the merchants of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China had almost no political power, and the government was conservative and stubborn, sadly!

This kind of arrogance and superiority will only one day be blasted out of the country. After Japan from the Warring States Period and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, I am afraid that it was also the Tokugawa Shogunate period, and they were also closed off from the country, but the Japanese people's ability to learn from them was too strong.

"Although there are few people, but if you can go to Zhejiang, you can also go to Fujian and Guangdong, bookstores don't have to be stingy, you can afford to use ice, Lingnan's lychee and longan are also profitable, there is ice maintenance, three or four hundred miles a day, it is not a problem. Once there is more money, let's open branches and increase the scale, and ask the brothers of Yichuan to go to Lingnan, not only for lychee and longan, but also to ask them to go to Haojing (Macau) to see, where making money with Westerners is the biggest. Jia Cong's eyes revealed a strong sense of ambition.

The idea is good, Zheng Yeliao, as a native of Wenzhou, understands something, and worried: "Most of the mountain owners and liao owners in Lingnan are full, and they are afraid that they don't want us to intervene and get a piece of the pie." ”

The local capitalists in the Lingnan area are called mountain masters, foreign capitalists are called liao owners, and there are Hui merchants and Zhejiang businessmen from outside, and there must be a backstage, Jia Cong smiled slightly: "I know, let the brothers go to explore the situation first, and if you want to fight the backstage, within three years, I can't fight with them?" You gather information first, and then we can increase our manpower...... When this son holds a lot of power, opens the sea to trade, and has a ship, what is this small bookstore? ”

This cake made Zheng Yexiao's eyes light up, of course, this idea was still far away and very difficult. What Jia Cong can do at the moment is to organize the book club and develop a certain amount of power in China first.

As early as the late Ming Dynasty, there were 20,000 Chinese in Manila, Philippines, but they were killed by the West! Fujian officials pardoned the killing! During the Ming Dynasty, Lin Feng was a successful maritime merchant in Southeast Asia, but they united with foreigners to kill! Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or "I am the Qing Dynasty", it doesn't matter whether the Chinese live or die! This bunch of stubborn conservatives!

……

Jia Yun drove to deliver dates, pears, apricots, peaches, apples, hazelnuts, chestnuts, pine nuts, quircille, and cabbage.

The wealthy merchants of Beijing Normal University have a warm cellar, can cultivate melons, fruits and vegetables that are out of season, the Northern Wei Dynasty Jia Sixian's "Qi Min Yaoshu" does not mention cabbage, after the Yuan and Ming dynasties, cabbage has almost become a common main dish, there are arrow dry white, scoop cabbage, dwarf green, black cabbage, collapsed cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, can be planted in four seasons.

The grade of Shanhai Book Club is getting higher and higher, and it is slowly providing all-round and three-dimensional services, and people who come here to read, taste paintings, and play chess feel that it is a kind of enjoyment, and the reputation is getting better and better.

The book club held regular meetings, Jia Yun did not stop much, and left with the porter after collecting the money, and entered the left room twice, Wang Yinglin, Kuang Liuhe, and Zhang Mao came, and Wang Yinglin drafted the charter: "Zili, the covenant of the Shanhai League has you said that in addition to the two 'for the livelihood of the people, for the meritorious work', do you want to increase it?" ”

"You are the deputy alliance, these two articles are the core for the time being, and they will not be modified, I think no one should refute them. The people are in front, and the people are also for the merits, benefiting others and themselves, and the cause and effect are clear, which is the best policy. As for the rules and regulations of the Shanhai Alliance, they can be slowly increased, decreased, and revised, and then planned as the number of people increases. Jia Cong said.

"The scientific expedition is imminent, Zili is also ready to leave." Kuang Liuhe kindly reminded and discussed for a while, and when the two went out, Wang Yinglin said euphemistically: "Words, meritorious service, and virtue are what my generation wants, Zili, I heard that there is a young lady in the Qin family, who used to be your nephew and daughter-in-law, Li Zhen's past experience is not far away, Zili must not go astray......

Li Zhen was regarded as one of the outliers of the Ming Dynasty, and he had a heart-to-heart relationship with a widow in Hu Guangmacheng at that time, and he was affectionate, courteous, and recited poetry. However, the news spread, and in this era of Cheng Zhu Lixue's cannibalism, this incident became one of the pretexts for the enemy to impeach Li Zhen, and Li Kun was imprisoned and died in prison.

"I'll take notice." Although Jia Cong's face is expressionless, he is really disgusted with etiquette, Meng Ziyun: Those who do not wait for the orders of their parents, the words of matchmakers, those who peep through the holes, and follow each other over the wall, their parents and countrymen are cheap.
