Chapter 36: The Way to Make Money

Unexpectedly, just a few steps away from the school with a large bag of steamed buns on his back, he saw Sun Hao and his friends and younger brothers sitting on a small boat by the mill, and shouted with a smile: "Brother Dan, are you okay?" ”

Sun Dan saw that these gentlemen were brightly dressed, lazy, angry and funny, and arched his hand: "Brother Hao, aren't you going home?" As soon as the papers were handed in, some of you ran faster than the wind, but you left me to suffer at my husband's place. ”

Sun Hao grinned hoarsely: "I finally passed the exam, so naturally I want to go home and report the good news to my mother, so that her old man will be happy." When the good news is announced, didn't I come to see you? Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, and then you are a friend, I am right. At that time, Song Jiang and Song Gongming were nicknamed Xiaoyi Hei Saburo, and this filial piety word was ranked in front of the word Yi. ”

"Hehe, I can't see it, Brother Hao is also sensible." Sun Dan didn't expect this kid to say such a truth, it seems that reading idle books is not without benefits: "By the way, I'm in a hurry to go home to visit relatives, but I don't have time to rub shoulders with you." Looking up at the sky, it was already noon, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Don't worry, we'll go into the city too. I can't afford to take a vacation, and I got a reward of two taels of silver from my mother just now, so I naturally want to go to the city to be happy. Sun Hao proudly took out a piece of loose silver and threw it in his hand: "No, I want a boat." How slow you are walking home, get on the boat. ”

Sun Dan was pleasantly surprised: "That relationship is good, it's disturbing." So he jumped into the boat.

Sun Hao held Sun Dan in his arms and asked with concern: "Brother Dan, what did Mr. tell you to do just now, are you in trouble?" ”

Sun said lightly: "Mr. said that I have just entered the hall for a few days, and there are still some mistakes and omissions in the articles I wrote, so I will be left in the hall for one or two, but there is no trouble." Besides, if I am punished by Mr., Sun Hao, you can't do anything about it. ”

"That's it." Sun Hao was a little negative: "Mr. doesn't care much about us on weekdays, but when it comes to the exam, it's like a different person." Once you don't pass the exam, it's called a ruthless fight. He remembered that Sun Gui had been opened to the ass of the flower, and although his heart was happy, he couldn't help but shudder. Unconsciously said: "Sun Gui kid suffered miserably this time, that kid specifically wants to harm people, and he should have this retribution." ”

Sun Dan said: "Brother Dan, it's not that I said something that spoils the fun. Although Sun Gui's mind is not right, you are too risky this time. If you cheat in the examination room, once you are caught by your husband, you will be beaten and not to mention, and your reputation will be ruined, how will you take the imperial examination in the future? People live in the world by their faces. You are the grandson of the Sun family, and your words and deeds can represent the Sun family! ”

recalled the scene where Sun Gui planted himself in the examination room, and Sun Dan felt a chill in his heart. If it is replaced by Sun Hao, he will be caught cheating in the examination room, and he will be beaten at most. Considering the decency of the Sun family, this matter will most likely be concealed.

But he is just a poor boy, a flat-headed commoner. If you are really caught, you will be kicked out of the school immediately, and you don't want to take the road of the imperial examination in this life.

Touching his nose, Sun Dan regretted it in his heart: Sun Dan, Sun Dan, you are still immature!

Sun Hao was a little unhappy when he heard this, and shouted: "Brother Dan, you have a temper with me, and I will treat you as a brother." But when you say this now, I am not happy to hear it. Look at the way you are now, what is the difference between you and Sun Yue's guy. Not cool, not cool! ”

Sun Dan also felt that it was inappropriate for him to preach with a straight face just now, his face softened, and he persuaded: "Brother Hao, it was my brother who said this." Think about it, why did you come to read? Isn't it just to take the test to show off your talents, so that you can inherit the family's title and live a peaceful life in the future? If this matter spreads and you can't participate in the imperial examination, how will you still have a foothold at home in the future? The Sun family is a big family, and if you don't have a title or fame in the future, you will definitely not be able to be the head of the family in the future. Do you want to stay in the house for the rest of your life and live by watching other people's eyes? ”

Sun Hao was stunned, he eats, drinks and has fun all day long, he is a famous dumb bully in the family, but he is actually a very simple person, and he has never thought about what will happen in the future. Now listening to Sun Dan break through this layer, when I think of the life I want to go in the future, I can't help but be really confused. Scratched his head rarely: "I didn't think about anything else at the time, I was afraid of being hit by Mr.'s board." Besides, I wanted to get some reward from my mother. Although my grandson's family is rich, the monthly months are not very high, and they are spent within two days after they get it. ”

I see! Sun Dan was funny in his heart, he was afraid that Mr.'s board was a reason, and it was estimated that this nerd wanted to make more money. As he said, although the Sun family is a wealthy family, they are very strict in their governance, and the monthly months are not very high. A young master like Sun Hao and Sun Yue is only two taels of silver, a first-class maid is one tael a month, and an ordinary maid is seven yuan. Sun Haoyou is used to being the boss outside, and he has a group of little brothers under him, and he spends money like flowing water.

"Let's start a small business and find a way to get some pocket money." Sun Dan said.

"Doing business?" Sun Hao was a little confused: "What kind of business?" ”

"Didn't I say I wanted to borrow the Sun family's printing shop?" Sun Dan said: "I plan to print that "Journey to the West" book and sell it. Jiang Ruoying's manuscript also has tens of thousands of words, and it happens to be printed as a book and sold. After that, I talked about 2,000 words every day, and Jiang Ruoying recorded it, and it happened to be a book in a month. I calculated that a book sells for 30 yuan, each book costs 8 yuan, and there are still 22 yuan to be earned. How many county governments in the entire Shandong, as long as each county sells 20 copies, it is a large amount in a month. Coupled with the whole Hebei and Jingshi, how many people have to buy my books to read. After a year, when a complete set of "Journey to the West" is released, we will be rich. ”

Sun Dan knew that there was no copyright in these years, and he didn't plan to make much money on this book anyway, just make money for this year's living expenses. As long as you get a jinshi and become an official, will you still lack money?

Doing publishing is just a small profit. However, it is not without a small supplement to the current poor self.

Sun Hao didn't speak, but kept scratching his head and looking at Sun Dan.

The little brothers around him were all children, and they didn't have any ideas.

Sun smiled faintly: "What, you don't want to make money?" ”

Sun Hao patted the back of his head with his hand; "Of course I want money, but I don't quite understand what you just said. I don't know how to do business, but I trust you, you're a man with ideas. In this way, what you say, I will do. ”

"If you don't understand, you can learn!" Sun Dan shook his head, sure enough, it was a child: "Brother Hao, otherwise, we will split this business into two shares." I don't have the capital, you produce ink, paper, and labor, and then use the sales channels of the Sun family's printing shop to sell books. I'm in charge of storytelling and writing. When we make money, we will be half of us. You don't like to read novels, you should know that "Journey to the West" is a good book and will definitely sell. ”

The Sun family was already doing business, such as farms, wine shops, and bookstores, otherwise such a large family would not be able to support it with the harvest in the field alone. Among them, Sun's bookstore has branches in various counties in Shandong, and it can also sell a lot of books every year. The reason why Sun Dan talked to Sun Hao about this was actually because he fell in love with the Sun family's sales network.

"Well, the story of Sun Monkey is very exciting, don't worry about selling. It's easy to do, I'll just talk to the people in the printing shop. Sun Hao said: "But there is one point, the cost of paper and ink has to be paid by myself, you calculate how many copies will be produced in the first batch, and how much capital do I need to come up with?" ”

Sun Dan calculated it and quickly gave a number: "Let's print 20,000 copies in the first issue, so that we can also have a profit of 440,000 yuan, that is, 44 taels." ”

"Ahh Sun Hao opened his mouth wide and said in ecstasy: "In this way, you and I each have twenty taels to divide each month?" Rich, rich! "He only has two or two months a month, and this time it has multiplied tenfold, which makes his head buzz for a while, and he can't hold it anymore.

Several of his little brothers also said: "Congratulations to Brother Hao, congratulations to Brother Tan." ”

But Sun Dan's next words gave Sun Hao a basin of cold water: "Count it, you should have to take out thirty-two taels of silver." ”

"Ah, so much, I only have two or two months of money a month, and I spend it all when I get it, and I don't save any money at all." Sun Hao was frustrated.

Sun Dan was slightly disappointed: "Then there is no way, I didn't say anything about it." "He has a lot of business ideas in his head, but he has no capital and has not been able to implement them. Of course, he didn't know anything about business, so he wanted to take advantage of the Sun family's east wind and take advantage of their business channels.

It seems that this matter has to be considered in the long run.

"Brother Hao, why don't you borrow some." A child suddenly came up with an idea: "If Sister Ying likes to read books and listen to stories, and she gets along with us, why don't you ask her if she can make some up there, and then she will be returned." ”

"You're stupid, although Wakakage is easy to talk to. But her family is not well-off, and she came to Shandong from Suzhou to join her relatives, and she has no money at all. Sun Hao glanced at the little brother with disdain. He said distressedly: "Sun Yue estimated that there was some money, but that guy spoke in a weird way, and he was humiliated when he went to beg him." As for Sun Gui, he could think of a plan, but he had a big deal and robbed him of his money. However, that guy was poorer than me, only one tael a month, and the money was confiscated by his aunt as soon as he got it. It's ......."

Sun Hao rarely used his brain, frowned, and immediately had an idea. He slapped the back of his head loudly again: "I'm stupid, there is definitely a way to find Sun Jia for this matter." This woman is very scheming, she has been saving money since she was a child, and after more than ten years, the monthly money plus the rewards she gets during the New Year's holidays, she has accumulated forty or fifty taels in hand, and she is very rich. I was short of money some time ago, and I asked her to borrow money because I saw it. ”

Sun smiled lightly: "Brother Hao, you just tricked Sun Jia's younger brother Sun Gui, and now you are going to borrow money, aren't you afraid of being rejected?" ”

"No, no. Although Sun Jia and Sun Gui were born to the same mother, they were closer to me, and she would still give me this face. Sun Hao said proudly: "Sun Gui was beaten for cheating today, and he lost face." You're definitely going to bite us back when you go back. However, he has no evidence for this, and no one believes him, Sun Jia would not have thought that we were the ghosts. Hehe, Brother Dan, what you said is not right, Sun Gui is Sun Jia's younger brother, isn't it my younger brother? I'll go. With that, he jumped ashore excitedly.

Sun Dan was speechless.
