Chapter 54: A Family Dies, a Family Rises

Zhao Zhen rewarded the Wang family with 3,000 guan in one go, as well as fifty mares, even the generals who have repeatedly made military exploits in the frontier may not get so much, the emperor's generosity is only given to his prime ministers and ministers, even the most incorruptible Lord Bao can live a comfortable life.

Wang Ningan didn't care about the income of 3,000 guan at all, and he even felt that it was far from enough to make up for the loss.

A few days ago, after he dedicated "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he found Gongsun Ce, he wanted to ask Gongsun Ce to help contact, establish a bookstore, and print "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he estimated that there were more than 10 million literate people in the Great Song Dynasty, even if only one percent of people bought books, it was 100,000 copies, and one only earned consistently, and it was also 100,000 yuan!

After deducting the cost, he can get at least 50,000 yuan, and the initial investment in the horse farm is enough.

But when he asked Gongsun Ce, Mr. Gongsun laughed heartily, laughing so much that tears came out, and looking at Wang Ningan's eyes was the same as looking at an idiot!

"Doesn't Da Song protect copyright? Isn't printing books profitable? Wang Ningan roared.

Gongsun Ce wiped his tears, danced with his hands, and told Wang Ning'an: "Of course printing books makes money!" But "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" His Majesty has been approved by the royal family, and you want to use the emperor's words to make money? Do you have the guts? Aren't you afraid that those officials will drown you with saliva? Let me tell you, when Lord Bao was in the capital, he dared to grab His Majesty's sleeve and spray His Majesty's face foaming! ”

Gongsun Ce was very happy, he saw Wang Ning'an's embarrassment for the first time, and went to tell Bao Heizi happily. Wang Erlang has calculated everything, but he has not calculated it, after the royal approval, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is different, it needs to be specially printed by Ouchi Bookstore, and it must not be wrong in one word, and it must be extremely fine.

Does it mean that after printing, you can't make money?

No, each bookstore will still sell it, but the tax paid will fall into the name of the Ministry of Rites, and His Majesty the Emperor who annotates him will not get the manuscript fee, and the author Wang Erlang will naturally not get the manuscript fee!

Temporarily losing a large source of wealth, Wang Ningan was very angry, although he knew very well that with the big sale of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", his fame must skyrocket, and besides, he still had a lot of books in his stomach, and he could make more money in the future.

But the emergency is not the poor, there are too many places that need to spend money at the moment, and it can't last long just by relying on Zhao Zhen's reward.

He and his father went to the Wild Wolf Valley, carefully examined the surrounding situation, the valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, very hidden, can be used as a horse farm.

There are streams and pastures outside the valley, and the most rare terrain is undulating, which can exercise the running ability of horses, although it cannot be compared with Hetao Liaodong and other places, but it is also a good place.

Zhao Zhen rewarded a hundred hectares of barren mountains, Wang Liangjing felt that it was still too little, not enough for the horses to run, he bought another 300 hectares, the price is not expensive, an acre of land is only 100 acres, 300 hectares is counted, exactly 3,000 hectares, the reward is gone all of a sudden!

Wang Liangjing was dumbfounded, so he had to find Gongsun Ce, discussed for a long time, and finally agreed to charge only half of the price, that is, 1,500 yuan, as for the remaining half, it would be paid off within a year, and Gongsun Ce generously said that he could not ask for interest!

"Soul light!"

Out of the yamen, Wang Ningan jumped to his feet and scolded, Lao Tzu raised horses for the Great Song Dynasty, what can you do if you give me 300 hectares and 500 hectares? It's really slamming!

No matter how Wang Ningan complains, Bao Heizi and Gongsun Ce won't care, they have been very busy.

Bao Zheng sold the Cui family's property, and the gold and silver treasures were directly sent to the capital, and Taicang, who had already been unable to make ends meet, rarely came to a windfall.

The New Year's rewards of the ministers were 10% more than usual, and even the soldiers of the forbidden army were 500 wen more.

Eating people has a short mouth, even the minister who is not on good terms with Bao Heizi does not say anything about him, and some people even promote Bao Zheng to take over the prefect of Yingzhou, and the official is promoted to one level.

Zhao Zhen also admires Bao Zheng very much, but the chaos in Cangzhou still needs to be cleaned up and temporarily suppressed, but I think that Bao Heizi will soon move his ass and change to a new position.

Before leaving, Master Bao will not leave trouble for his successor.

He seized the time to deal with the case of the Cui family, Cui Yu and Cui Zhong, two brothers, colluded with the Liao State, smuggled on a large scale, hoarded people, and plotted wrong, and were sentenced to be executed.

Before the New Year, the head fell to the ground.

Yang Xiong was sentenced to be dismissed from his official position because of the involvement of the Cui family, beaten by 80, and sent to Hainan to fill the army. At this time, Hainan is not a resort for later generations, but a real wild place, the land of smoke miasma, Yang Xiong is not young, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back in this life, and he can only die in a foreign land.

The rest of the Cui family and the Yang family were not polite, either confiscated into the army, or sold into the Qinglou, or were demoted to slavery. In short, from heaven to hell.

……

The Cui family has fallen to this day, and Wang Ningan can be regarded as half of the culprit, but he has no sense of guilt. After all, the laws of each era are different, Cui Yu has committed many crimes, and there is nothing to complain about when it comes to his family.

The most important thing is to make a big profit!

The Wang family now has a few ways to make money, the first is Haifeng Restaurant, after Wang Ning'an's training, Xiang Hao has been able to master stir-frying, Xiaomaozi has also advanced by leaps and bounds, Cangzhou is located in the frontier, the people are fierce, unlike the capital full of dignitaries, dishes must be affordable and sufficient.

Braised pork, sauce bones, stewed mutton, are the three main dishes of Haifeng Restaurant, not only the people in the city, even the head of the Xiang army, the head of the prison camp will often visit, the business is very good.

I can earn about 200 yuan a month.

As for the noodle business, it has been spun off from Haifeng Restaurant, and a cheap noodle restaurant has been set up opposite the restaurant, with three doors and two tables for diners to eat noodles. The other sells semi-finished products, and people can buy processed noodles, as well as mutton fat sauce packets and vegetables to choose from.

The noodle restaurant is aimed at ordinary people, as well as farmers in the countryside, there are many people who eat noodles, and they make very little money, only a dozen yuan a month.

Xiang Hao even suggested closing the noodle shop.

But Wang Ningan refused. The key is that the noodle shop has to purchase more than a dozen stone of white noodles every day, and it also has to invite 20 men to deliver noodles, which can solve the problem of villagers' grain export and young people's employment.

Even if he loses money, Wang Ningan will hold on.

What's more, with a cheap noodle restaurant, there is the reputation of Haifeng Restaurant, the two complement each other, if people forget their roots, only think about making money, they will not be far from bad luck.

After deducting these two pieces, it is the pork and soybean oil business, at present, almost every family in Tuta Village raises pigs, at least ten, according to Wang Ning'an's estimates, in another half a year, the fat pigs in Tuta Village have been slaughtered, and the income can be increased by 300 per month.

Stir-fried vegetables became popular, soybean oil was selling better and better, and soybean oil could be trafficked over long distances, and merchants from neighboring states and counties came to buy it. It seems that it will be easier to earn than pork, and 500 guan per month is the best.

Counting and calculating, several things add up, and there are thousands of them a month.

It looks like a lot, but it can't stand the big cost.

At present, there are more than 100 people in the bow and arrow club established by Wang Liangjing, especially after knowing that the Wang family got the imperial pen, young men from ten miles and eight towns have flocked here, if it were not for Wang Liangjing's strict standards, the number would have exceeded 300.

But even if it's just more than a hundred people, you don't have to pay military salaries, but the big guys train together and provide a meal! Men who practice can eat, and one person can top two or three. Fortunately, the Wang family raised pigs, and the pig's head, pig claws, and pigs went into the water, which could satisfy their huge appetites, and others had to be eaten poor.

It's good to say, the worst thing is the horses.

Zhao Zhen gave fifty horses, got more than thirty from Cui Zhong's hands, plus six precious northland horses, and one horse's daily forage was worth three people.

Moreover, the Northland horses should be fed concentrated feed, hay, bean cakes, bone meal, vegetables...... In order to enhance the ability to breed, twenty raw eggs are also given at a meal!

When a pony is born in the future, the cost will be even more astronomical!

Gotta make more money! Wang Ningan secretly warned himself, he suddenly remembered that his grandfather still left a teahouse that he didn't take back!

"Xiang'er, Ning Ze, brother will take you to listen to the book!"

Wang Ningan beckoned the two little guys and went to the teahouse together......
