Yan Heng learned from his father Yan Zhun that there are no less than 1,000 Confucian children in the entire Fenyi County who participate in the county examination every year.

Moreover, with the improvement of the affluence of the people of the Ming Dynasty and the increase in the number of educated people, the number of Mongolian children enrolled in school has increased sharply almost every year.

Therefore, Yan Heng predicts that there should be no less than 1,500 Confucian children in Fenyi County participating in the county examination this year, which is much less than that of Yixing, Shanyin, and other large counties in the south of the Yangtze River where 2,000 or 3,000 people take the county examination, but it is not less in the whole country.

Otherwise, it would not be said that Jiangxi is a major province for the imperial examination, and the literary style is prosperous.

And these Confucian children who participated in the county examination this year can be regarded as potential customers of Yan Heng's "Wenqu Study".

That is to say, the market capacity of the teaching and auxiliary materials "Preparing for the County Examination: Thirty Selected Texts" launched by the "Wenqu Study" is more than 1,500 people.

Yan Heng is not engaged in enterprise planning, and he does not know how many teaching and auxiliary materials need to be printed in advance under the scale of more than 1,500 people in the market.

However, before Yan Heng determined how many copies to print, he also asked Xu Deming about the daily printing output of the study today.

Xu Deming replied that according to the printing of six hours a day, eight copies per hour, there would only be an output of forty-eight copies per day.

But now that the county test is imminent, it can't be too late to sell this kind of teaching and auxiliary materials, after all, if it's too late, there is no point in preparing for the Confucian children to buy it.

Therefore, Yan Heng had to compress the planned output to 500 copies, and required that the first batch of "Preparing for the County Test: Thirty Selected Texts" must be published within ten days!

In the printing industry, the price and cost of a new book or other new journal is directly linked to the production volume.

Today, with an estimated production of only 500 copies, and in a market of more than 1,500 people, the price of each copy of "Preparing for the County Test: Thirty Selected Essays" can only be published at a high price.

From the purchase of bookstores and equipment, as well as hired workers and other miscellaneous items, Yan Heng's cost for this transaction was already about one hundred taels.

Therefore, Yan Heng decided to price each copy of "Preparing for the County Test: Thirty Selected Texts" at two taels of silver dollars each.

In this way, as long as he can sell more than 100 copies, he will be able to make a profit.

If more than 150 copies are sold, his Wenqu study will be able to earn back 200 taels of silver when the first batch of materials is released, and he will be able to repay his father's romantic debts.

The Confucian children who can participate in the county examination, although not all of them are wealthy families, but most of the families can still take out two or three taels of silver.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is not the first few years, and the tax has always been low, and the phenomenon of private wealth hiding is very common.

Therefore, Yan Heng believes that there are at least more than 1,000 people who can take out two taels of silver to buy materials.

And Yan Heng's current goal is to let at least one hundred and fifty Confucian children among these 1,000 people buy his own Wenqu Study's "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Essays".

Yan Heng first found his father, his father is now Mr. Social Studies, most of them are Mengtong from several villages near Qili Village in Fenyi County, who are studying here, and according to his father's estimates, it is estimated that fifty people will take the county examination every year in one of his social studies.

Of course, although the number of participants is large and the elimination rate is quite high, most of them just have the attitude of giving it a try.

Yan Heng asked his father to go to his social school first, and as a county school student and a teacher, he suggested that his students order "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Essays".

At the same time, Yan Heng asked his father if there were any other talents or children who knew his father in various social studies.

Yan Zhun said the three, and they all had an excellent relationship, Yan Heng simply asked his father to invite these three Xiucai to the house, and treated these three Xiucai with the name of his father Yan Zhun not being dismissed by the Great Grandmaster.

Yan Heng also met with his nephew, and at the price of twenty taels of silver per person at the wine table, the three Xiucai promised that after they went back, they would definitely ask the students who took the county examination to buy "Preparing for the County Examination: Thirty Selected Essays".

Of course, twenty taels of silver were not paid out of cash.

Yan Heng pays half of it first, and the other half will only be given if the sales of "Preparing for the County Test: Thirty Selected Current Texts" are more than 300 taels.

Because, there are about 200 people who participated in the county examination for these three Xiucai and the social science taught by their father, and if they all order, there will be about 400 taels.

Yan Heng took out the money and asked them to help him sell to their students, and naturally he would pay in full only after seeing the effect.

These three showmen naturally readily agreed, after all, this is their unexpected external income, how can there be any reason not to work hard for money.

Yan Heng himself was also a lot more relieved, because at least for the time being, it can be guaranteed that the quantity of about two hundred and fifty copies can be sold, and it can be determined that there will be at least three hundred and eighty taels of profits.

In this case, it will be more than enough to pay off the debt, and there will even be a surplus.

Since it is the same, the next thing is to wait for his study to print these 500 copies of "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Essays".

The printing craftsmen are very hard, working six hours a day, but fortunately, Yan Heng gives a high salary, so everyone is very motivated, and they have been working like this for a long time, and people who have been idle for a long time are also eager to be so busy, not to mention that Yan Heng will often come to see them and buy them some good food and drink, which makes the printing craftsmen can't help but be more active.

"Childe, you can rest assured, we promise to print out five hundred copies for you within ten days, you don't have to run around every day, or hurry up and hurry up to the county test, we are very optimistic about you, we all believe that Childe, you will be able to take the county test, let those little people see!"

Xu Deming pushed Yan Heng out of the ink room.

And Yan Heng had no choice but to return to his home, Xu Deming and others were right, he really had to prepare for the county exam.

Yan Heng still had a lot of research on ancient texts in his previous life, and now he has opened Su Hui, so he still has some confidence in the county test, unless the county order Xiong embroidered a problem that has not appeared in the Ming and Qing dynasties for hundreds of years, otherwise there is always something suitable in the vast question bank.

Of course, even if he didn't, Yan Heng could use the skills he learned based on interest back then to do it blindly, he has been writing very well since he was a child, and he has also compared the articles of the ancients, and he doesn't think it's any worse than what the hairy boys of the Ming Dynasty contemporaries wrote.

The only thing he worries about now is his own words.

Therefore, Yan Heng decided to practice his calligraphy well, and at the same time, he had to give Xiao Yan Song a set of information, although he knew that Xiao Yan Song was just familiar with the examination room when he participated in the county exam this time.

However, Yan Heng found that Xiao Yan Song's memory was actually very amazing, if he gave him some ready-made information, maybe he could remember it, and maybe he could touch a dead mouse in the county test.

Because of the test in Daming County, there is a lot of freedom for the questions.

Many county orders will even directly publish a poem for the sake of simplicity, and some will simply come up with their own questions before.

After all, the county test is to examine intelligence, it is impossible to expect Confucian children who have only been studying for a few years to make such splendid articles, and they can screen out a few people with good memory and quick thinking to achieve their goals, as for the future road, they still need their future efforts.

To achieve the goal, why use the difficulty of testing the jinshi to assess the most basic Confucian children.

Therefore, Yan Heng strongly asked his younger brother Xiao Yan Song to memorize this set of materials in addition to reading the four books, and this set of materials is not "Preparing for the County Examination: Thirty Selected Current Texts", but a selection of ten articles written by Xiong Xiu himself from the county examination to the palace trial.

Xiong Xiu is a person who has a legend in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and Yan Heng easily knew his relevant information after opening Su Hui, so it is not surprising.

Yan Heng can guarantee that after Xiao Yan Song memorized the ten articles of Xiong Xiu, he can at least know the style of Xiong Xiu's articles, and he can also get a glimpse of what Xiong Xiu is going to produce, and even Xiong Xiu may even come up with his own impressions of the old question.

However, just when Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song were hurrying to prepare for the county exam, Ouyang Jin, who had been silent, came to the door.

He was accompanied by Ouyang Xue and Ouyang Lu.
