Chapter Thirty-Eight: Work Together for the Glory of the Ancestors

Ouyang Jin is a household warden, and the matter of Confucian Tong's registration for the county examination naturally has nothing to do with him, but as a warden in the county office, he naturally knows that today is the day of registration for the county examination.

In this way, he couldn't help but think of the two brothers Yan Heng and Yan Song who were going to take the county exam.

Especially Yan Heng, Ouyang Jin has never cared so much about a child who is not his own family as he does now.

Every time Ouyang Jin remembered that he had made a bet with Yan Heng, he felt quite uncomfortable, and he always felt as if there was some trap waiting for him.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of how Yan Heng would defeat him, so he decided to visit Yan Heng's bookstore for himself to dispel his last doubts.

Ouyang Jin already knew from Yan Zhun that the bookstore opened by Yan Heng was called "Wenqu Study", so he didn't let anyone inform the Yan family, so he walked to the Yuanhe Wharf first.

"I want to see what kind of bookstore this Yan Heng opens, if it sells something unsightly, don't blame me, who is an uncle, for being unkind, and report it directly to Lord County!"

Ouyang Jin came to the street where Wenqu's study was located as he spoke, and the scene of countless Confucian children wearing lazy scarves almost filling half the street in front of him made him couldn't help but be shocked, and he was busy holding one person for something.

"You don't know this, this Wenqu study sells a book called "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Texts", which is the first text in the county examination of the students over the years, which is extremely useful for the exam, everyone rushes to buy it, after all, not everyone has the father and brother of the county exam, it is rare to have such a model text, you have to buy it quickly, otherwise it will be gone, listen to them, the inventory of Wenqu study is only ninety."

Ouyang Jin couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and when he took a closer look, he really saw that the Wenqu study was in front, and Yan Heng was blatantly sorting out the broken silver.

As the warden in charge of the household, Ouyang Jin could guess at a glance that the silver in front of Yan Heng was no less than three hundred taels, and when he saw that so many people were still rushing to buy the banner on the door, he also roughly understood why Yan Heng swore that day that he could earn two hundred taels of silver in January.

"Okay, what a stinky boy!"

Ouyang Jin almost fainted, he never thought that Yan Heng would open a bookstore like this, and he actually put his idea on the county exam.

Thinking of it again, he had made a bet with Yan Heng, Ouyang Jin panicked a little, he didn't want to be really called a slave by a twelve-year-old boy for half a year.

Ouyang Jin had an idea, and he held his forehead: "Ouch, I'm dizzy, dizzy, help me go back, tell me to go down, all outsiders haven't seen me these days, just say I'm sick, help me take a leave of absence for the yamen!" Take a month's leave first! ”

Ouyang Jin now knew that it was too late to regret it, and he couldn't deny this bet, so he could only delay it by pretending to be sick.

……

Yan Heng didn't know that Ouyang had come into his study, and he was now looking at the thousand taels of silver he had piled up on the table with joy, and he was smiling.

In fact, although Yan Heng knew that he could count on this county trial to make a lot of money by using the psychological needs of Confucian children, he didn't expect to be able to sell all the five hundred county trial counseling materials!

He had planned to sell only 200 copies and be considered successful.

As a result, he didn't expect the consumption potential of these Confucian children in Daming to be so great, and on the first day, all the first batch of printed materials were sold out!

If the technology and manpower can keep up, and he can directly produce more than 1,000 county trial counseling materials, he may be able to directly earn thousands of taels of silver.

However, Yan Heng did not feel sorry for this, and now he can earn more than eight hundred taels of silver, which is already a huge wealth for him.

Moreover, what made Yan Heng even happier was that this sale of county test counseling materials not only made a lot of money, but also made a name for Wenqu Study.

At least for now, people only know that only Wenqu Book City can buy the test materials they want.

Yan Heng decided to make good use of the signboard of the monopoly teaching materials currently played by the "Wenqu Study" to further expand the entire education market in Daming.

In the foreseeable future, the imperial examination system will become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, from the king and the hundred officials to the common people, all of whom will take the right way to study the imperial examination and be proud of the promotion of people and scholars.

In other words, Wenqu Study can build a national education brand with this.

Of course, this is also the reason why he wants to make a bet with Ouyang Jin to let Ouyang Jin serve him for free for half a year.

In Yan Heng's opinion, once there is the first person to eat crabs in this world, there will be many people who will come to eat crabs.

Nowadays, other bookstores see that selling teaching and auxiliary materials can be so profitable, and there must be more bookstores compiling some teaching and auxiliary materials to compete with their own Wenqu study houses for this emerging market.

However, with the strength of Wenqu Study, it is likely that it will not be able to fight against the relatively large scale of the bookstore.

However, Wenqu Studyhouse can start first, and control the source of upper-level resources in its own hands before these bookstores awaken.

Yan Heng plans to cooperate directly with the government in the next step, and buy the priority agency of the post-test question papers for all levels of examinations from the envoys and the governments of various prefectures, prefectures and counties.

That is, the post-test question papers of all levels of examinations must first be unified to Wenqu Study for operation.

In that case, Wenqu Study will be able to get the answer sheet of the first candidate in the latest exam first, and at this time, it is also the time when the demand for this kind of answer sheet symbolizing the latest exam trend is the strongest in the market, so Wenqu Study can always occupy a leading position in the market.

If other study rooms want to engage in tutoring materials, they can only purchase materials from Wenqu study and then process them.

Although Ouyang Jin is a bit forgetful and hypocritical, he still has a good conscience in the end, and he is also good at dealing with officialdom, and he is also the only person in the government that Yan Heng knows at present, so Yan Heng feels that he can only rely on Ouyang Jin to help him win the government at all levels.

As for Ouyang Jin's willingness, Yan Heng didn't think about it, in his opinion, he not only had a gambling contract to pressure him, but also gave him a certain amount of interest dividends, so he couldn't help but agree.

Wenqu Study's county trial counseling materials were sold well on the first day of opening and made a net profit of more than 800 taels, not only Yan Heng was happy, but Yan Zhun and Xiao Yan Song were also happy.

Yan Zhun burst into tears and patted Yan Heng's shoulder: "It's still my son!" A stone in my father's heart can finally land! ”

Xiao Yan Song also danced with his little hands and said: "Wow, brother, Xiao Song'er has never seen so much silver in her life!" ”

"This is just the beginning, our Yan family will get better and better, in the future, father, you can continue to take the imperial examination, Xiao Song'er doesn't have to worry about spending money on the job, in short, Guangzong Yaozu, you come, make a fortune, I will come!"

Yan Heng said quite arrogantly.

As a result, his father Yan Zhun directly gave Yan Heng a look: "Nonsense! Guangzong Yaozu also has to rely on you, for the father knows that you can't study, but diligence can make up for clumsiness, and you can't give up the road of business lightly. ”

Now that the family has gotten rid of the debt crisis, and it is impossible for his son to be a slave in someone else's house, Yan Zhun as a father has also recovered some confidence, and he can't help but mention Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song'er: "Although my father knows that you can't pass the county test this time, don't be discouraged, after all, you are still young, and the three of us will work together in the future, and the father and son will all have to make a name for their ancestors!" ”
