Chapter 11 Selling Books and Buying Wine
The printing of books is carried out in an orderly manner, as for the price, some people propose five times, some people even propose ten times, the villagers know that books are expensive, but they don't know the specific price, let alone know that there are more books, and the price will fall the same.
In the end, it was Qin Yu who made the idea, the villagers were very convinced of Qin Yu, but Qin Yu didn't want to sell it so expensive, he had made an unexpected profit by selling white paper last time, and he made black money in education, Qin Yu was disgusted in his heart.
As for the price of the villagers' big mouth, it is not without reason, it is precisely because the white paper was sold at a high price last time that it feels like the books should be sold more expensive, and the price of books in the Tang Dynasty, Qin Yu has already understood through Cheng Huailiang.
The price of a book in Chang'an is generally between 500 and 800 wen, but the paper is fragile and troublesome to copy, and there are not many books in circulation.
The currency of the Tang Dynasty, one tael of silver is basically consistent, always a thousand wen, equivalent to about 70 yuan, how can a book be sold so expensive, and finally Qin Yu set the price at 300 wen.
The material of white paper can be found everywhere, and the cost is negligible, but labor still has to be considered, plus the cost of ink, it is about one hundred wen, of which twenty wen is the salary that Qin Yu recently proposed, and eighty wen is the price of ink used to print a book.
Although the villagers of Zhangjia Village had no complaints, and they all worked hard, Qin Yu knew in his heart that if he wanted to tell the horses to run, how could he not give the horses grazing, so in addition to the fixed infrared in Zhangjia Village, Qin Yu also gave the villagers of Zhangjia Village a performance salary.
Do more, take more, do less, earn less, the reason is so simple, as soon as Qin Yu's policy was implemented, the work efficiency of the villagers was significantly improved, Qin Yu knew it, and naturally he would not say it.
The study of mathematics has finally made significant progress, the mathematics of the Tang Dynasty is arithmetic, at this time there should be a ninety-nine multiplication, but here it should be called ninety-nine song or something, what is the specific, Qin Yu has not heard of it, and he does not care, Qin Yu cares about continuing to explain mathematics in depth.
After all, the children have already understood what positive numbers, negative numbers, decimal places, integers or something, and now it's time to talk about decimal notation.
As long as the children learn, they can at least be a ledger, and it is much faster than those so-called account calculations, if the children learn brain arithmetic, it will be even more powerful, Qin Yu even feels that these children will be able to get a full score if they go to the Tang Dynasty's arithmetic.
The decimal system has been spoken, different from the Tang Dynasty, the new abacus naturally followed, and the formula naturally came from the modern era, probably during the Song Dynasty, no matter when it was invented, it was easy to use.
The purpose of making abacus is also to let children learn mental arithmetic, after all, children are still young, they can learn to learn, and it is the same whether they can learn to count.
Day by day, the children learn mathematics in the morning, learn ideology and morality in the afternoon, and do homework in the evening, Qin Yu has to correct homework and give lectures, so naturally they are not so empty, and the villagers of Zhangjia Village are the same, only Cheng Huailiang sighs every day, wanders around, or sleeps with his head bored.
The printing of books has come to an end for the time being, and 500 copies of the Book of Poetry, the Book of Rites, and the Book of Changes were printed in 500 copies, and the ideological character, mathematics, three-character scripture, and thousand-character text written by Qin Yu were also printed in 500 copies, and a cart full of books was immediately transported to the county seat of Yongnian County.
Of course, there are also nearly 500 books printed in the car before, after all, children also need to use them, how can they also sell the books used by children.
Among the five hundred books, only the three-character scripture is two hundred, because Qin Yu hand-copied fifty-two copies for the children to use, as for the collection of books in the village, there is no hurry for the time being, and the children can't read it.
It was Zhang Dashan who escorted the car, full of books, and the printing of books did not stop, but the speed slowed down a lot, after all, everything is based on theory, and it still depends on the sales effect.
Even if Yongnian County can't digest all the books, Qin Yu is not worried, aren't there still merchants, and the books printed in Zhangjiacun will naturally attract their attention.
Before Zhang Dashan escorted the car to leave, Qin Yu specially instructed that all the silver earned from selling books belonged to his own share and bought it into wine and shipped it back, Zhang Dashan thought that Qin Yu was greedy for wine, although it was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, but according to the price of these books, he bought a lot of wine.
In order to make money, Qin Yu naturally came up with the idea of drinking, originally before meeting Cheng Lingyun, Qin Yu planned to buy a house, and then make wine to earn money and land, and become a leisurely small landlord, but it backfired, and finally failed to come true, but now Qin Yu refuses to let go.
In this era, there is no such thing as spirits, and the alcohol content is all low, and many of them are very cloudy, and the taste is not very good, and there is always a strange smell, of course, this has something to do with the lack of good wine in the Muramasa family, but even if it is good wine, it is not much better.
Not only is the Tang Dynasty good wine, throughout the five thousand years of China, the wine culture has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, at this moment Qin Yu is going to launch the distilled liquor will inevitably be able to sell well, this point, Qin Yu is very sure, moreover, you can also make alcohol, this can be anti-inflammatory and sterilized, multiple benefits, Qin Yu will naturally not let go of this.
Wine can be used to earn a lot of silver, and this method, Qin Yu is not ready to let it out, he must have his own industry after starting a family in the Tang Dynasty.
And the method of distilling liquor is very simple, once it is spread, you almost don't have to think about it to know, it won't take long to spread all over Datang, so how to make money.
Qin Yu is not a saint, he is selfless in everything, the businessman is humble, Qin Yu naturally knows, but he does not necessarily need to come forward in person to do business, it is indeed useful to chat with Cheng Huailiang, Qin Yu gradually had a clear idea.
Secretly control some merchants, or buy some slaves, and ask them to come forward to operate, the current family elite class basically does this, Qin Yu can do the same, plus with the identity of Cheng Fu's aunt, he can naturally avoid a lot of trouble.
And the candidate, Qin Yu temporarily selected Xiao Tao Xiaohong, and the two of them came forward to sell wine, of course, the two little girls will definitely not be too smooth to sell wine, but isn't this Cheng Huailiang here, when the time comes, ask him to come forward to help, just rely on Cheng Huailiang's drunkard temperament, ask him to help, he is naturally happy.
The process of distilling liquor is not complicated, so it is natural to hide the investigation of people with intentions, but Qin Yu plans to hide it day by day, and the equipment is made by Qin Yu himself, just waiting for Zhang Dashan to buy the wine back to carry out the great cause of winemaking.
Qin Yu tinkered with these in the village Zheng's house, and he didn't worry about the secret leakage, at this time, Qin Yu's prestige in Zhangjia Village was definitely more than that of the village Zheng, and the courtyard became Qin Yu's private territory, except for Xiao Tao Xiaohong, no one could come in, of course, Cheng Huailiang was an exception.
As for Cai Langzhong, after being told by Qin Yu about the general effect of Yunnan Baiyao, he was thinking about how to develop it every day, where would he have time to pay attention to these.
It's a pity that even Qin Yu doesn't know the ingredients of this medicine, but the special ointment developed by Cai Langzhong has about one percent of the efficacy of Yunnan Baiyao, and Qin Yu only provided a few medicinal materials for Cai Langzhong to ponder, in order to verify the effect, the chickens, ducks and geese in Zhangjiacun became guinea pigs for the first time.
As the sun set, the villagers of Zhangjia Village, who had gone into the city to sell books, returned to the village, along with a full ten carts of wine, several carriages, and some men, and in the carriages were a few richly dressed merchants.
Zhang Dashan found Qin Yu as soon as possible and told him what happened, just as Qin Yu deduced, sure enough, there were businessmen who came to investigate, no, Zhang Dashan said according to what Qin Yu said, these businessmen didn't care about the curfew at all, and came directly to Zhangjia Village.
Qin Yu received these gorgeously dressed businessmen, who was the shili behind them, Qin Yu didn't care, but judging from their momentum, it seemed that the origin was not small, Qin Yu was not afraid, there might have been some taboos before, but now Qin Yu's courage has become a lot bigger.
After intentionally or unintentionally revealing the identity of Cheng Huailiang around him, the attitude of these businessmen has taken a 180-degree turn, and they are extremely sincere.
The grasshopper shakes the tree, it is ridiculous, these businessmen naturally understand this, even the shili behind them dare not offend the famous demon king of the mixed world, after all, they are just some shili in Yongnian County.
Cheng Huailiang naturally understood that Qin Yu was taking advantage of the situation, but he didn't care at all, but felt that it should be like this, and he also felt that Qin Yu shouldn't have seen these businessmen at all, in his words, if he dared to be disobedient and beat him.
The negotiation ended quickly, and the books were handed over to these merchants to sell, but the price of circulation was set at 300 Wen by Qin Yu, and the purchase price was set at 280 Wen, which could actually be raised, but Qin Yu would not do this, and the merchants also wanted to make money, and suppressing them to death was tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs.
Because of Cheng Huailiang, these businessmen were forced to sign a contract with Qin Yu that made them break out in a cold sweat, and if they dared to break it, they would not only have to pay compensation, but also suffer lawsuits.
Merchants who dare to raise prices at will will have to accept severe punishments, even if the high price is even one penny higher, and if you sell one copy, you will be fined 1,000 taels of silver.
In addition to books, the white paper also signed a contract, and the purchase price of each five-foot long and wide white paper was set to half a penny, and the selling price should not exceed one penny, otherwise it would be punished, but Qin Yu really didn't want to make money on it, so he set an ultra-low price.
It was late at night, the road was not easy to walk, the county was curfew, and the merchants were not good to return to Yongnian County, so they had to live in the village for the time being.
The printing workshop, the papermaking workshop, because outsiders came, Qin Yu secretly instructed the village to take strict care, and the craftsmanship of the province was stolen, so it was not good, and the arrival of outsiders this time also gave Qin Yu a reminder that the workshop in Zhangjia Village had to pull up a wall to protect the process from leaking.
All the money Qin Yu earned was exchanged for wine, and almost the entire courtyard was piled up, but because of the presence of outsiders, Qin Yu had to temporarily suppress this impulse.
