Chapter 43 Jiangning Book Company

Since he was three years old, he has often run around the bookstore, watching those students who have failed to copy and write on the desk, often looking at it all day, and naturally becoming a bookish anger, and when he grows up, he naturally becomes the major shareholder and general manager of this bookstore. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, in recent years, the development of Jiangning Bookstore has been greatly sluggish, and the financial situation of the bookstore is also beyond its means.

It turned out that he could make a net profit of dozens of taels a day, but now he is basically making a steady profit without losing money, and the Han Dynasty does not have any support for the book industry, it is all the local rich and wealthy businessmen who support him in the friendship of the older generation, otherwise this bookstore would have closed down long ago.

His childhood dream was to carry forward the bookstore, become bigger and stronger, at least to get the title of the best bookstore in the southeast.

But when he really accepted the bookstore business, he found that this bookstore was simply a big pit, and he couldn't get out if he jumped in, and now he still owes the four families an unknown number of loans.

Rolling profits, like a snowball, are getting bigger and bigger, and this pressure makes Hua Li bald when he is over 30 years old.

He was sleeping soundly in the wing, dreaming that he had paid off all his debts, and that the Jiangning Bookstore had grown all over the country, and that dandelion-like leaves had taken root.

As a result, I woke up, and I was angry in my stomach, and suddenly I saw three stupid people standing at the door of the bookstore.

When I saw Sun Qi and the three of them, dressed as scholars, I thought that they were scholars who came to take the exam, and they wanted to do some book-copying business in their own place to earn some paper and pen fees.

"Three, huh? Do you know what this place is, this black man? If you don't go home and dig your coal, what are you doing here? ”

Hua Liji was in a bad mood, and raised his high hat on his head, and saw that the powerful muscles of the blacksmith Wang were in stark contrast to Sun Qi and the others.

He originally thought that Sun Qi and the three of them were all students rushing to take the exam, but who knew that there was a black man behind him.

To say that the two simplely dressed teenagers in front of him are like students who have gone to the city to take the exam, but the black man behind him is like a coal digger.

If you don't dig coal well, why do you want to run this scholarly place?

"Are you the boss? This is my eldest brother, specially came to send me to take the exam, Xiaosheng wandered around, passing by here, come in and see! ”

Oh, it turned out that he was really rushing to take the exam, hehe, Hua Li saw that Sun Qi looked childish, thinking that he was a newcomer to the poor family.

"Oh, then you have come from afar, and I, the landlord of the locals, should do my best."

"We saw that the front door of the bookstore was cold, and we were sad for the recession of our book industry, so we came in to have a look, but I didn't expect it, it was really unsatisfactory!"

Sun Qi could see it from Hua Liji's fox-like eyes, he was a person who had experienced life and death, how could he have no grasp of people's hearts?

"Then, little brother, do you have the intention to support our industry and let him regain his life, how about it?"

Wahligh pointed to those who were copying books.

These people are hungry and cold, and there are old men with dying old armor, all poor people who are forced by life, and they are all copied books here in order to mix that mouthful of food, and Hua Li himself does not know how much wages the bookstore owes these poor people.

If you can get these three people to come over and copy books, no, no, no, that man looks hairy, and at first glance he is from a soldier's background, so if you don't want it, you can ask these two young people to come down, and there will be two more copying machines in my bookstore.

Hua Li laughed secretly in his heart, of course, Sun Qi did not have the ability to guess people's hearts.

He looked at Hua Liji with a smile on his face, and thought it was really enthusiastic, and he was still a little moved at the moment.

"Qiuyue, this boss is quite good, let's live here for the time being!"

Qiu Yue hurriedly said: "That movable type printing...."

Sun Qi said indifferently: "Stay for a few days first, then printing is not something that can be done immediately." ”

Wu Qiuyue knew Sun Qi's plan, so she lived here temporarily, found out the boss's temper, and then made plans.

Now I don't know if this boss Hua has the heart to carry out this reform, if he wants to continue to maintain the status quo, Sun Qi can only help.

"In the past few days, let's first do a book copying business, review the poetry and engineering construction, movable type printing, and then start it when the review is about the same."

You must know that the imperial examination system of the Han Dynasty, the content of the examination, is not limited to the book of sages or poetry and etiquette, in addition to the four books and five classics must be examined, but also covers engineering construction, civil creation, military equipment and agricultural production, these major aspects, and the present world is not much different, but the degree of emphasis is different, because of the emperor's personal interests, what the emperor likes, where the focus of the imperial examination will shift.

For example, the current saint is especially good at machine manufacturing, so the focus of the imperial examination has shifted a lot to engineering manufacturing. Master Lu Ji Lu is the beneficiary of this system, Mr. Lu does not love poetry in his life, and is the best at inventing and creating.

"Then, you three... No, you two, do you want to stay? The first 50 volumes of "Zizhi Tongjian", with a total of more than 700,000 words, will be copied early and get a commission as soon as possible, which can be regarded as my help from the locals, how about it? ”

Hua Li said kindly. He felt that Sun Qi would definitely agree, and then sign an overlord treaty with him, so that Sun Qi could use the book for him to copy for free.

Who knows the abacus in Hua's heart, Wu Qiuyue has already seen through it at a glance.

"Qi Gongzi, 700,000 words, when we finish copying, this township test will be over a long time ago, this boss doesn't look very good!"

Wu Qiuyue whispered to the two, she has been alone since she was a child, and she has a pair of perceptive eyes about the situation in the world.

"If you don't copy it, you can't copy it, who would have thought that the crows in the world are as black as you."

Sun Qi also nodded, because he had long seen that the owner of this bookstore was an organized and disciplined crime, because this boss with a fat head and big ears and a high hat had a black word 'Lu' printed on his neck.

That's right, the owner of this bookstore is also from Lu Banhui!

Sun Qi had a strong hatred for Lu Banhui in his heart, but he didn't expect that there was no good thing under his hands.

700,000 words, not to mention copying, even if you type with a computer, you have to type for a month, this boss obviously wants to enslave people.

Fortunately, he has a red divine order, but he is not afraid of being squeezed by this boss.

"Boss, see what this is?"

Sun Qi immediately took out the red divine order, and Ming Huang shook it in front of Hua Liji's eyes.

Hua Liji immediately fell silent.

"Do you still need to copy 700,000 words? How many 10,000 words should I copy. ”

Sun Qi asked again.

"Little brother, no need, since everyone is a fellow practitioner, you can stay and keep accounts, it's okay, and on the day of your exam, I will give you a set of test kits for free."

Hua's self-interested language is a bit too polite.

Of course, he knew the weight of this red divine order, and in the entire eastern part of Zhejiang, those who saw the red token, such as the branch elder himself, this young man turned out to be a big pomp.

Hua Liji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and almost provoked the hands of the red letter masters.
