March 17th, the last day before the palace test list, this day Ji Ning has been writing the big seal at home during the day, and did not go out, until it was close to dark, he took the big seal text he had completed, and went to the black market in the capital to sell, with Lin Yilai to take the lead for him, things will be much easier, and he does not need to meet with those in charge of the black market, just wait for the big seal to be sold, he just waits to get the silver.

Whether it is in Jinling City or in the capital, the sale of big seals and small seals is in the nature of consignment, which is not very fair to Ji Ning, because if things can't be sold, he can't get a penny, and after selling, he can only get part of the silver, and the middlemen in the black market will encroach on a large part of the interests.

The black market is equivalent to an empty glove white wolf.

But in the Great Yong Dynasty, whether it is the sale of large seals or small seals, it is illegal, if the court wants to investigate, the person who sells is to face the risk of being sentenced, although in recent years the imperial court has acquiesced to the existence of the black market, and even the black market and the government There is collusion, but this can only be said to be a transaction of power and property, Ji Ning is not a person in the black market, he can only be an ordinary trafficker, follow the established rules of the game.

Lin Yi was very curious about Ji Ning's ability to take out the big seal, but he didn't doubt that Ji Ning's big seal was stolen and robbed, in his eyes, Ji Ning was a high-ranking scholar, he was already a lifter before, and now he has passed the examination, and he will soon be a master of Jinshi, whether he is an official or a bachelor in the Temple of Literature in the future, it is an existence that is above ordinary people, and it is not something that a small person like him can question.

"Master, how long do you think this batch of things can be sold?" Lin Yi asked.

At this time, Ji Ning was riding in a carriage, and it was Lin Yi who drove the car, Ji Ning was afraid that the matter would be leaked, so he just asked Lin Yi to accompany him alone, and even Chen Qi and Li Lu did not arrange to come over together.

Ji Ning said: "There is no shortage of silver around, so they don't need to sell it in a hurry for the time being, and they don't have much time requirements, but it should be sold in ten days and a half!" ”

The big seal and small seal market in the capital are basically full of small seal market, and the big seal market is in short supply, in the big seal market, a text is basically priced between thirty taels and one hundred taels of silver, which is related to the quality of the text and the quality of the article, a big seal article of one or two hundred words, the price is also from a few thousand taels of silver to tens of thousands of taels of silver, most of the transaction prices may be less than ten thousand taels of silver, but there will be a small number of fine products, which are priceless treasures.

The more peaceful the year, the more prosperous the business of the big seal and the small seal, because people in this era know that this is a good thing, but there are very few people who can really make this good thing, which is why in this era, Jinshi is rich.

A Jinshi, basically can use half a year or a year to complete a large seal of the sacrificial text, even if the quality is not good, you can also get thousands of taels of income, and in this era, the price of silver is still very high, a few thousand taels of silver can almost buy a mansion, plus a hundred acres of land, peace of mind to be a landlord.

But not all Jinshi can create a big seal, mainly because the spiritual power consumed to create a big seal is really huge, Jinshi for their future career, must not be able to write a big seal with all their heart, often write a word to rest for a few days or even a month, after writing to do other things are not spiritual.

Even Jinshi can't create things, but Ji Ning can mass-produce, which is why Ji Ning can make this money.

This time, Ji Ning is going to sell a total of six big seal articles, which he has recently written, and he has carefully selected them, he is using the strategy of "hunger marketing", if he is allowed to write openly, it is no problem to write hundreds of articles, but many things are scarce and expensive, and he will not easily break the rules of the market.

He wants to win by quality, not by quantity.

"Master, are you going back to the house?" Lin Yi asked.

Ji Ning thought for a while and said: "Don't go back for the time being, go to Dongjiang Rice Lane, and put me down, you can go back to deal with things first, there are 1,000 taels of silver here, you take it and settle down first, and buy more land." Lin Er, remember, you must not go astray, you must have a heart to do things well! ”

"Yes, sir, the villain remembers!" Lin Yi was humbly taught.

……

……

Ji Ning did not go home, but went to Zhao Yuanrong's hut.

Every time he went to Zhao Yuanrong's hut, he would feel that he had gained something special.

After he arrived this time, he saw a lot of new books, obviously Zhao Yuanrong brought them to him, but the two did not meet in the hut, Zhao Yuanrong and Ji Ning seem to maintain a tacit understanding, I will help you give advice, you help me find some books to read, the friendship is as light as water, you don't need to make this friend vigorous, you can also understand what the other party needs and thinks.

Ji Ning picked up the book and thought: "I used to always think that Zhao Yuanrong was high above and unkind, but now when I look at her, I also have a little bit of the thoughtfulness of a small family of jasper, maybe she was born in the emperor's family, and it is not her own choice, she wants to be an ordinary person!" ”

Picking up the book, Ji Ning forgot the time when he saw it.

Soon at night, he felt hungry in his belly, and was about to go out to buy something to eat and then come back to continue reading, but there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Ji Ning didn't get up to greet him, he knew that it was Zhao Yuanrong who came, this was like his own home, and the two of them didn't need to be very polite.

"Ji Ning, you're really there!" Zhao Yuanrong entered the door and looked at Ji Ning with a smile, Zhao Yuanrong was wearing men's clothes at this time, she should be going to meet someone, she glanced at Ji Ning, and saw that Ji Ning seemed to be careless, she was still a little curious.

Ji Ning said: "The princess has already gone out to meet the guests, or is she about to go?" ”

Zhao Yuanrong smiled: "Can't it be to prepare to see you?" ”

Ji Ning shook his head and said, "If it's here, then it's not necessary!" ”

"Ji Ning, sometimes I think you are very smart, even too smart, but I think you speak too straightly, it is easy to make people uneasy, I am like I have no secrets in front of you!" Zhao Yuanrong said, "Ji Ning, I told you one thing, that is, what you said about Qin Yuanyuan before, I have already sent someone to Hejian Mansion to help her get her goods back, and the goods should almost be sent to the capital." Do you think I need to see her once? ”

Ji Ning asked, "Does the princess know where Qin Yuanyuan is?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yuanrong nodded and said, "I just knew, I came to see if I could meet you, and then ask your opinion!" ”
