Chapter 12 I was born to be useful

Copying books with a brush is definitely hard work!

In other words, Jia Cong will never take the road of copying books and selling them for money, what a loss of face for the traverser.

This way is for classmates who are willing to make progress and have very average family conditions, such as Jia Yun, who is already so excited that he can't speak, is very qualified.

If he really copied books for money, a book would start at least a hundred taels of silver.

It's not that his calligraphy is comparable to that of contemporary people, but the Rongguofu card he represents, which is worth the price!

Jia Cong can even be sure that if he wants more, the middle-aged shopkeeper dressed as a scholar in front of him will definitely agree, as long as he does not exceed the psychological bottom line.

In any era, the powerful can easily cash out a huge amount of money!

He has a clear understanding of this, so naturally he will not easily take advantage of the businessman who opened a bookstore in front of him.

At least the current Rongguo Mansion is still 'powerful' in the eyes of outsiders, and it is quite a card.

There are many merchants who can't find a way with silver in their hands, and he didn't think about a few hundred taels of silver, so he asked the bookseller in front of him to pull the banner of Rongguofu.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the second wife and Wang Xifeng, the aunts and nephews.

These two money-making methods are too low-level, and they will go down in person at every turn, squandering the resources of the Rongguo Mansion, which proves how shallow their vision is, and at the same time proves that the phrase 'It's terrible to be uneducated' is indeed reasonable.

Putting money in print, oppressing the good, annexing fields, taking lawsuits and other evil deeds are not a big deal for the powerful family at all.

If the family is really defeated, these will not be the main reasons.

The point is, you can't go into battle shirtless.

The second wife, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's aunt and nephew, are typical, they can obviously support white gloves, whether it is a pawnshop or an underground money with printing money, or a village, they only need to secretly occupy enough shares, isn't it good to be a behind-the-scenes boss?

I wanted to go out in person, but the result was that my reputation was completely stinky, and Rongguofu was unlucky with it.

Especially Wang Xifeng, her method of winning lawsuits is simply using gold bricks as stones. The favor of the dignified Chang'an Festival envoy was lost for three thousand taels of silver, and she was still proud and thought she was powerful.

The reason why I say this is just to show that Jia Cong has a thorough view of power.

In modern society, information is developed, and many things are no secret.

Also, if you carefully read the history books and some precious notes, and figure out the hidden secrets, you can clearly see that the leader of the general capital to put the money in the seal is the royal family with the same surname today!

Of course, if the imperial power is weakened, it will be replaced by the ministers.

They are often the proprietors behind the largest pawnshops in the capital, or at least one of the major shareholders, and they are not aimed at ordinary people, but powerful and wealthy businessmen, and their reputation is generally not obvious.

Only the powerful families whose power has plummeted will target the poor people, and no matter how much they toss, they will not be able to squeeze much oil and water, and once the means are excessive, they will affect the family's reputation, and often make more trouble than the gains.

It can also be seen from this that the Rongguo Mansion has really declined.

……

"What is the price of these miscellaneous books?"

The miscellaneous books that Jia Cong refers to are the ancient versions of YY novels, all the stories of talented and beautiful women, which are not as good as the pinnacle of classics like "The Legend of the West Chamber", and they are all placed on the shelves in the remote corners of the bookstore.

He didn't even need to look through it to know the content and plot trend in it.

It can only be said that the development of YY novels in the Daqing Dynasty, where Dream of Red Mansions is located, is still quite primitive and backward.

If he has the opportunity, he doesn't mind stimulating the poor talents of this era, so that they know what the real YY novel is.

"It depends on the fame and the plot, a good book counts two pieces of silver, and the average is hundreds of dollars!"

The middle-aged shopkeeper dressed as a scholar didn't care: "The miscellaneous books at the moment are not easy to sell, and the sales are average over and over again!" ”

"Are there any miscellaneous books for children?"

Jia Cong doesn't think it's strange at all, once a certain genre of modern online novels has been in place for a long time, there will also be a serious situation of aesthetic fatigue, not to mention that here in the Daqing Dynasty, a genre has been written for hundreds of thousands of years.

That is, the poor traffic makes the speed of cultural transmission extremely slow, so that the stories of talented and beautiful women can continue to cheat money for hundreds of thousands of years.

It's just that, at his current age, it's not suitable to write about this thing, so he directly changed the topic and continued to ask.

"Miscellaneous books for children?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper dressed as a scholar was confused, and asked curiously: "Forgive me, little boy, can you explain it more clearly?"

"For example, isn't the story of Kong Rong's pear just for children!"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "If these little stories are concentrated in a book in a humorous language, will it be popular?" ”

The middle-aged shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Little boy's good idea, if it is operated properly, it is still quite feasible!" ”

"Haha, that's great!"

Jia Cong chuckled, didn't say anything to cooperate, discussed the specifications and price of the manuscript with the middle-aged shopkeeper, and left with Jia Yun, who was full of excitement.

From beginning to end, he didn't even ask the name of the middle-aged shopkeeper.

But that's the case, the middle-aged shopkeeper of Yawen Bookstore, dressed as a reader, has always been polite and quite humble, and has not shown the slightest unhappiness.

Ignoring Jia Yun who was full of excitement next to him, Jia Cong squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and decided that his goal of earning the first pot of gold was to write inspirational children's stories.

As for the cooperative bookstore, I haven't considered cooperating with outsiders for the time being.

The main thing is that he doesn't want outsiders to take advantage of him, and he also saves himself the trouble of dealing with the blame from Rongguo Mansion in the future.

Needless to say, once he comes out, he will definitely attract the attention of the bigwigs of Rongguo Mansion, especially the old lady and the second wife, who are not allowed to have a better existence than Phoenix Egg Baoyu, not to mention that he is just a concubine.

If you don't want to be targeted by the back house in the future, the best choice is naturally to pull an alliance top tank, he already has a plan in his heart, people can't suffocate urine.

Ignoring Jia Yun's good news of copying books and selling them for money was quietly leaked, which aroused the excitement of a cadre's classmates, Jia Cong did not stay on the street for long, and directly dragged Jia Huan, who was unwilling to leave, back to his house, and he also got the main courtyard to eat and drink, how could it be delayed.

For this dinner, it was rare that Mrs. Xing did not go to Rongqing Hall to wait for the old lady, but stayed in the main hall to eat with Jia Cong, but was naturally shocked by the amount of food in this house.

"Can you digest it after eating so much?"

After the meal, she asked kindly: "You won't eat a bad stomach, your little body can't stand the toss!" ”
