This day is another Saturday day, and it is also the day of registration for this year's county test.

There are a lot of Confucian children who come to the county.

On the East Street on the bank of the Yuanhe Wharf in Fenyi County, the "Wenqu Study", which was not valued a few days ago, attracted the attention of almost all passers-by at this time.

No one would have thought that this bookstore would do such a business, only to see a long banner made of red cloth under the door plaque of "Wenqu Study"!

The banner reads, "The county test is imminent: "Preparing for the county test: 30 selected current texts" is a big sale! ”

It's very conspicuous!

At the same time, there is also a couplet hanging on both sides, which reads: "No one asks about the cold window for ten years, and the world knows it in one fell swoop"

The couplets are also made of big red cloth curtains, and the characters are written by Yan Heng's father, Yan Zhun, and his father's Xiucai writing is still attractive, which immediately attracted the passing Confucian scholars.

Not only that, but there are also neatly dressed clerks shouting inside, "Thirty selected current texts, if you want to win the test, you have to win".

The clerks are naturally hired by Xu Deming and others, and the Wenqu Study lacks manpower, so Yan Heng can only let them temporarily act as shop assistants, and he also bought clean ready-to-wear clothes for everyone, all of which are the same color and look quite regular.

There are many Confucian children who come down the river in this area, some of them are brought by their parents, some are their own, and some are accompanied by the slaves of the family.

But among the ten pavilion people, there are also eight pavilion people who unconsciously enter the Wenqu study.

In fact, most Confucian children were just interested in taking a look, but when they picked up "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Essays", they couldn't help but be surprised.

Because these texts are the county examination papers of the county candidates who have won the county audition in the past years, and there is also an article on the county test in today's Xie Yuanlang!

Those who can participate in the county exam are not fools, and they all know that if they memorize these thirty articles, even if they can't bet on the county exam questions this time, they can still find out the style of today's county exams.

After all, the county examination articles for those who can get talents from the county examination to the government examination to the hospital examination represent the highest level of the county examination in recent years.

Everyone can see that as long as you memorize these 30 articles, at least the hope of the pilot test is greater.

In the past, everyone did not have the consciousness to summarize and count the winners of the previous county examinations, but now someone directly sorted out the Confucian children, and also marked the name of the original author and the current fame.

Readers can read, memorize, and even imitate according to their merits.

Of course, even if some Confucian children can't see through the value and significance of this "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Essays", Yan Heng also made a detailed explanation on the title page.

"Hey, why didn't you take it out and sell it earlier!"

Some Confucian children couldn't help but beat their hands and feet.

At the same time, another old man shouted directly: "Bring me five copies, five children of our Guo family are going to participate in the county exam this year, and now that they have this, I'm afraid they can all win!" ”

"Two taels of silver per book, a bit expensive, forget it, buy one, I'd rather eat steamed buns every day in the future, and buy it for the county test!"

"I have to buy it, although it's no problem for me to wait for the Zhongxian test, but there are Xie Yuanlang's articles in it, and you can also learn a thing or two."

For a while, many Confucian children were flipping through the pages and shouting to pay for it.

There are also those who are reluctant to take the money, so they just look at it and don't buy it, but they also said sadly: "Hey, shopkeeper, where is Xie Yuanlang's article?" ”

"I'm sorry, it's inside, you buy it and go home and turn it slowly", Xu Deming said politely.

Seeing this, some people had no choice but to pay money to buy "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Articles".

Outside the gate of the entire Wenqu study, countless Confucian children gathered here, thinking that there was a county test secret book for sale, and they all felt that they would not be able to win if they didn't come to buy it.

His father, Yan Zhun and the three Xiucai who had been asked in advance to teach in their respective social studies, also gave advice to their students who took the county examination to go to the Wenqu study to buy "Preparing for the County Examination: Thirty Selected Essays".

No one would dare to disobey his advice, just as it is impossible for future generations of students to disobey the advice of the Dean of Academic Affairs.

For a time, Wenqu Study's "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Essays" sold 200 copies in one morning.

And Yan Heng also organized a group of children and little beggars to go around shouting and shouting some "Preparing for the County Test: Thirty Selected Texts" is a big sale, and Wenqu Study will escort your county test! Something like that.

At the same time, Yan Heng also dispatched some flexible three or five hired workers to set up stalls in front of the school palace and the county government and in front of the largest inn.

……

It can be said that the way Wenqu Study was sold on the first day stunned the entire Daming people.

No one thought that business could be done in such a high-profile manner.

In one day, the obscure Wenqu study made everyone in the entire Fenyi county known in one day.

In the past, when the store opened, it was more likely to bang the gong and hang a banner to explain whether it was a teahouse or a wine shop, unlike the Wenqu study, which hung banners, beat gongs and drums, and made people shout everywhere.

But it works well.

In the morning, Yan Heng, who was taken by his father to the county government room with Xiao Yan Song, returned to the Wenqu study and asked how much Xu Deming had sold.

Xu Deming excitedly raised four fingers: "Two hundred and sixty copies have been sold!" ”

"Childe, the fifty copies in front of the county government are sold out! There are also Confucian children clamoring for it, I can only let them come to our store to buy it, this time they are rushing here. ”

"Childe, the fifty books in front of the school palace are also sold out, many people are rushing to ask for it, look at the small forehead injury, it was beaten by them, these readers are not reasonable, I am not not selling, but there is no more, they will beat people!"

"Childe, the fifty copies of the Fulai Inn are also sold out, and the small ones run fast, otherwise they will be killed!"

A more clever young hired man handed the silver to Yan Heng and said with a smile.

The store has sold 260 copies, and the 150 copies distributed everywhere have also been sold short, and now a total of 410 copies have been sold, and I have earned more than 800 taels of silver, and made a profit of more than 600 taels!

It is more than enough to pay off the debt of two hundred taels at this time, and there are still more than four hundred taels of profits left, it seems that the consumption power of the scholars in this county should not be underestimated.

"Childe, look at this posture, I'm afraid that no less than 300 people will buy it, but we only have about 80 copies, do you want to increase the price?"

Xu Deming asked, pointing to the people crowding the entire street outside the door.

"No need, our prices are already very high, and a sudden price increase is dishonest, and it will also chill the hearts of these people, no matter how high it is, the poor students will not be able to afford it, and then the county will only be afraid that they will also ask, tell them that the store only has less than ninety copies of stock, first come, first served, five hundred short sales, and it will be closed directly!"

Yan Heng waved his hand and said.

At this time, I heard that there were only about 90 copies outside, so I felt that the opportunity was precious, and they rushed to buy them.

In less than a quarter of an hour, ninety copies were sold out.

The Confucian children who didn't buy it could only go back disappointed, and they were suddenly disappointed, and they always felt less confident than those who bought "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Texts".

And those Confucian children who bought it also increased their confidence a little more.

In fact, "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Essays" is not the answer to the real question, and for Confucian children who are not qualified by themselves, it is not a temporary medicine, but can only play a reassuring role.

But what kind of people need such a reassurance, even those who are confident that they will not be able to win the county test will worry that they will not be able to win, and they want such a reassurance.

This is the same as the madness of parents and candidates in the college entrance examination in later generations, everyone has lost their minds, blindly follows the herd, and in the moment of lack of confidence, they all see something that can help the exam as a magic weapon to win.

And the huge profits of Wenqu Study seized the psychology of the Confucian children who participated in the county test.
