Chapter 11 Knowledge is Wealth

Jia Cong is really poor now!

It's not that he doesn't have savings, it's just that all the monthly cases are very strict with the nurse Li, and it's impossible to squander them.

As for the eight taels of silver that can be obtained every month to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone, cough cough, it is also firmly controlled by the nurse.

It's not that he is really controlled by the nurse, it's just that he never thought of relying on the monthly rules in the house and the school, it really became a joke.

In other words, in order not to attract attention, he plans to start next month, increase the proportion of practicing calligraphy, the consumption of paper, ink, pen and inkstone is not ordinarily large, eight taels of silver a month, it is estimated that it is just enough to consume.

As for the stingy Mrs. Xing, and the cheap old man Jia Yu with a bad attitude, it is not realistic to get money.

It's not that you can't get it, it takes too much energy, and it may cause Wang Xifeng's vigilance, which really outweighs the loss.

Don't look at Wang Xifeng's dedication to the second room, as if he had a complete falling out with the big house, but in fact, it is not.

Jia Lian has only one son-in-law, Jia Lian, as long as Jia Lian does not violate filial piety or commit a serious crime, no one can snatch away the inheritance of this first-class general's mansion.

She is determined to eat Jia Cong, once Jia Cong behaves too much, she can take money from Jia Yu, with Wang Xifeng's importance to money, how can she let Jia Cong go?

How to say, Wang Xifeng is the internal housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion at this time, and it is too simple to deal with Jia Cong, and he can even make Jia Cong quietly 'die of illness'.

Although Jia Cong is not afraid, although he has very little practical experience in medical knowledge, he is not a weak chicken without much protection.

It's just that there is no need to confront Wang Xifeng early, the main battlefield of this Feng Lazi is on the second room, there is no need to draw her attention and ruthlessness to the big room.

Since there is no way to get money from the government for the time being, I can only think of other ideas.

He even figured out the three necessary elements for the traverser, glass soap and gunpowder, but he didn't even have the capital to make a fart.

The reason why I want to make money is that there is no way to do it.

The people of the Rong Mansion have developed a bad atmosphere of 'a pair of rich eyes and two decent faces', and it is really difficult to do anything in the mansion without some silver.

It's not that he has any thoughts about Rongguo Mansion, he just wants to live a more nourishing life.

In addition, although I didn't think about how to do it thoroughly, it was indispensable to start the silver.

If you don't take advantage of the time you have a lot of free time to get enough money, you will be guilty when you get busy later.

……

What?

Third Master Cong is short of money?

On Ningrong Street, Jia Yun, the 'second master under the corridor', looked confused, and was confused by Jia Cong's direct frankness.

But soon, he reacted, and it was said that the third master was really short of money.

The situation in Rongguo's mansion, he has not heard of it, almost all the resources of the jade generation are concentrated on the second master of the phoenix egg treasure, and the third master Cong is estimated to be able to mix up the money.

Of course, even if he can only mix for a month, it is better than his family, which has already fallen into ruin.

"Let's go, come with me, if it goes well, maybe your kid can follow suit!"

Jia Cong didn't have the slightest embarrassment, his eyes swept over the lively small vendors on the street, saw a bookstore on the corner, patted Jia Yun and walked over.

Yawen Bookstore, a medium-sized bookstore on the corner of Ningrong Street, looks like a store specializing in the business of wealthy families.

The decoration inside is elegant and quite stylish, rows of bookshelves are full of books, and the fragrance of ink makes people subconsciously feel a little more quiet of the literati.

There were no customers in the store at this time, and a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar sat at the counter, holding a book in his hand and reading seriously.

Hearing the footsteps at the door, he looked up and glanced at Jia Cong and Jia Yun, who had entered the door, and didn't say anything but nodded, as if to say please feel free.

Jia Cong was not polite, and took the very restrained Jia Yun to wander around the bookstore, and there were many related books such as the subset of scripture and history on the shelves, and of course, there were also miscellaneous books such as novel notes and miscellaneous conversations, which were deliberately placed in relatively remote places.

Seeing this, he walked directly to the middle-aged reader, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, the bookstore doesn't accept the four books and five classics of the reputation!" ”

The middle-aged man dressed as a scholar showed a trace of unhappiness on his face, obviously not very interested in the title of 'shopkeeper', but he still greeted him with a smile and hesitated: "This, it is accepted but it is best to be copied by an acquaintance, and the handwriting must be neat and there is no omission!" ”

He is also quite discerning, and at first glance, Jia Cong's bearing is not an ordinary teenager, although the clothes on his body are not gorgeous, but he does not dare to underestimate them at all.

"What a price!"

Jia Cong said a little impatiently: "Could it be that the books copied by our clan students, and they can't compare to those poor scholars?" ”

The middle-aged scholar dressed as a scholar narrowed his eyes slightly, and chuckled: "I don't know which family student the little boy is?" ”

"Why do you ask so much?"

Jia Cong said angrily: "You are a bookstore, and you are not a secret guard yamen of the imperial court, do you still want to do business?" ”

It's really brainless to have a power not to borrow, and anyway, I didn't do anything hurtful.

"The little boy has to teach him a lesson!"

Although he can open a store in a place like Ningrong Street, there must be a strong backstage, but the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar did not dare to attack at all in the face of Jia Cong's faint threat, and hurriedly explained: "The store has acquired four books and five classics all year round, as well as honorary manuscripts such as the subset of scriptures and histories, as long as the handwriting is neat and there are no obvious errors or omissions, you can buy according to the handwriting and the number of words, generally one or two pieces of silver!" ”

Nima, the book trade is really profitable!

Hearing the price, Jia Cong was secretly taken aback, the set of middle-aged shopkeepers said was only a type of 'book' or 'scripture' in the Four Books and Five Classics, usually according to the number of words, there are several or even more than a dozen.

At the size of the brush word, there is only one side of the model, and a page can write dozens of words at most.

Ordinary paper, as well as pen and ink, are not so exaggerated, the cost of a set is definitely not more than 300 wen, and the profit of selling it to Yawen Bookstore is almost 700 to 1,000 wen, which can be said to be quite good.

I didn't see it, Jia Yun's eyes lit up when she heard this.

That's it, Yawen Bookstore also has to make money, I asked the price of a set of books and scriptures before, and don't enter the door without three or five taels of silver.

The handwriting is particularly good, even if the paper is a little worse, the price of selling can easily exceed ten taels, and it is still in short supply.

Sure enough, knowledge is wealth.

Ordinary scholars, in the current era, are definitely elites, as long as their brains are not too rigid, and their minds are focused on the imperial examination, even if they just open a private school, it is absolutely easy to live a well-off life......
