Chapter XXVI Stewardship

"Good news for you!"

After school, Jia Cong took a group of younger brothers to a remote corner of Ningrong Street, and said directly: "I got the management of a printing workshop and bookstore!" ”

"Really!"

"Great!"

"In the future, if we copy books, we can sell them at a better price!"

“……”

The little brothers were suddenly boiling, and they were all full of energy.

After half a year of copying and selling books, none of them are fools, how can they not perceive the amazing profits of the cultural industry.

Let's talk about copying books and selling books, don't look at the fact that they sell a lot of silver, but bookstores make more money, who doesn't blush?

Now that the boss Jia Cong has a bookstore, they will be able to earn more silver in the future, which is a certain thing.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"

Jia Yun, who is over fourteen years old, is not only the oldest of a group of younger brothers, but also the most thoughtful and proper one.

Coming back from his euphoria, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

No matter how the boss Jia Cong got the management of the bookstore, but his age is here, and he really can't convince the public.

The younger brother of the clan is naturally not included, but the shopkeeper and the guy in the bookstore may not necessarily give face, which is the core of the problem.

What kind of birds are inside Rongguo Mansion, how can Jia Yun, who lives on Rongning Street, not know?

A concubine like the boss Jia Cong, the steward below will not pay attention to it at all.

After he reminded him, the originally excited voice gradually lowered, and the little brother suddenly had a bitter face, not knowing what to do.

"So, I need your help!"

Jia Cong smiled very happily, and in the face of the expectant gaze of the younger brother, he said leisurely: "What kind of bird is the steward below, I don't need to introduce more, which one is a butt of shit and not clean, all you have to do is find out the printing workshop, and the handle of the bookstore manager......"

The little brother suddenly showed a clear look, and all of them were in good spirits.

I have to say that the good days have passed for too long, and the top and bottom of Rongguo Mansion have lost their due vigilance.

In particular, the printing workshops and bookstores that were targeted by Jia Cong had extremely inconspicuous losses all year round, and they belonged to the small transparency in the general's mansion industry.

But......

After the investigation of Jia Yun and other younger brothers, they found that whether it was a printing workshop or a bookstore manager, life was quite nourishing.

Naturally, it is not as good as the real power housekeepers in the house, but all of them have two residences in the capital, and this kind of economic strength is not ordinary.

You must know that many six- and seven-grade Beijing officials can only rent a house in the capital, and with their ideas, they can't afford to buy a house at all, and they can't even enter it.

From this, it can be seen that the amount of greed in the management of printing workshops and bookstores is definitely not a small amount.

When Jia Cong took a group of half-grown sons of clan studies to the door with great momentum, and threw the things investigated in front of these two stewards, the matter was already doomed.

The management of the printing workshops and bookstores in the general's industry completely fell into the hands of Jia Cong. As for the two stewards who were directly driven home as apartments, the benefits have been enough to save face.

Mainly, Jia Cong didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Otherwise, one charge of stealing the property of the master's family is enough to make the two unlucky stewards and their families doom.

After finishing these, Jia Cong and his younger brother were not idle, and directly checked the details of the printing workshop and bookstore.

Soon, Jia Cong collected enough information in his hands and had a clearer and deeper understanding of the two industries that had the right to manage.

It's not a big scale!

This is the specific situation of the printing workshop and the bookstore, except for the steward, the rest of the men have stayed, and there are no more than ten people in total.

The printing workshop could only print some simple books, such as Mengxue books and the like, and as for the large tomes such as the subset of classics and histories, there were no relevant engravings at all.

The scale of the bookstore is also very small, and the books sold are all Mongolian books from some printing workshops, as well as the Four Books and Five Classics purchased from outside, and the quality is quite average.

The most important thing is that without the relationship between Shilin and Shilin, there are few scholars who are willing to patronize at all, and business is naturally very poor.

What makes Jia Cong funny and angry is that Nima has been losing money for many years, and these two families, from the steward to the guys, have never thought of a way to solve the business difficulties, but adhering to the idea of 'eating big households', blindly asking for money from the general's mansion to maintain.

As a result, as soon as the silver came, the steward immediately divided the bulk of the head, and the men below could only eat some scraps and cold burn, such a boring and hopeless life, they lived with relish, and did not want to change at all.

I don't know what the General's Mansion thinks, and there has been no intention of closing the printing workshop and bookstore, and a sum of money has been allocated every year for maintenance.

These are all old yellow calendars, since the management of the printing workshop and bookstore has fallen into the hands of Jia Cong, he naturally will not let this situation continue.

"The market for Mongolian books should not be small!"

Gathered the younger brothers of the clan scholars, as well as the printing workshop and the bookshop, and held a symposium to discuss the solution to the lack of funds.

In other words, the maintenance silver allocated by the General's Mansion this year has been divided between the two stewards and the guys. If you don't want to make too much trouble, it's hard to pursue this matter.

But there is not enough silver, not to mention that Jia Cong wants to print children's books, and it is difficult to barely maintain it, unless he is willing to hang it as before, and wait until the next year to maintain the silver before making any moves.

Is he waiting for the character he wants?

Since there is no money in the account, let's find a way to earn it.

In fact, think about it, whether it is the engraving or technology of the printing workshop, or the dry books of the bookstore, although the quality is ordinary, it is still very valuable.

Not to mention, because of the needs of the Jia clan, the largest Mengxue books in the bookstore are also the existence of printing workshops that can be shipped in large quantities, and there is still a pretty good market in the capital.

Mongolian schools like Jia Clan Studies are a minority in the capital.

There are more Mongolian schools organized by those talents for life, or for other reasons, and there are quite a lot of them.

After all, the capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the cultural atmosphere is still quite strong.

Not every Mongolian school, like Jia Clan Studies, is equipped with a corresponding printing workshop to provide free Mongolian books of ordinary quality.

Let's put it this way, the entire capital has a population of more than one million, and the number of Mongolian students is not 10,000 but 8,000, not including Mongolian students in villages and towns outside the city.

This is quite a large market for productivity at this time.

As long as you put your heart into it, how can the poor output of less than 100 copies a month in the printing workshop not be sold, it is simply a big joke in the world......
