In Jia Cong's view, the reason why printing workshops and bookstores cannot make ends meet is due to the laziness of the stewards and the imperfect reward and punishment mechanism.

Since this is the case, he naturally has to prescribe the right medicine!

In fact, it is very simple, he gives a shipping price, which is only a little higher than the cost, and asks the bookstore guys to run the sales, and the more they sell, the more benefits they can share.

As for what price they sell, Jia Cong didn't bother to care, as long as he could sell the Mengxue books in the printing workshop, at least he had to ensure that the printing workshop could operate at a minimum.

Such a stipulation, but the little brother and the bookstore work were shocked, and then he couldn't help but feel excited, and nodded his head in agreement.

It's a fool not to agree, it's a matter of giving benefits for nothing.

Even the guys in the printing workshop, if Jia Cong didn't allow it, they also wanted to participate, and they had another set of reward and punishment mechanisms.

He was not very reluctant to the young brother who was full of enthusiasm, but he couldn't stand their positive enthusiasm, and finally had to make a compromise: "You don't want to participate, if you are familiar with private schools and are sure to sell Mengxue books, you can try, for now, you still want to copy books!" ”

As a result, the originally seriously unsalable Mongolian books were sold out in just half a month, and the printing workshop began to operate normally.

At this time, Jia Cong, who suddenly came out and even used disgraceful means to seize the right to manage, was unanimously recognized by the printing workshop and the bookshop.

At least, there is no longer a need for the younger brother of the clan to supervise in person, they can be busy with their careers with enthusiasm, and they mainly see tangible benefits.

This made the two stewards who were forcibly seized power and could only nest at home and gnaw on their old books, full of unwillingness but helpless.

"This is a collection of stories, let's get the engraving out slowly!"

When everything was on the right track, Jia Cong unhurriedly took out the children's books he had made and handed them over to the guys in the printing workshop to deal with.

At this time, book printing was quite troublesome, and it was mainly based on engraving.

The main reason is that the engraving technology is quite mature, and the books printed with engraving are quite beautiful and generous, and there are even pictures and texts composed of lines, which look tall.

In fact, the movable type printing technology has also matured, but because the books printed by the clay movable type are not neat enough, and there is no pattern decoration, it is naturally not loved by literati.

The average literati are the kind of people who have a lot of savings in the family, and their purchasing power is quite strong, and they are quite strict about buying books, and they are not afraid of spending money at all. I'm afraid that the quality of the books I buy is not up to par, or I am not beautiful enough and lose people.

Although Jia Cong didn't care, he didn't have the idea of going against the trend, and it was better to act according to the habits of this era.

At the same time, he also had to think about publicity methods so that the children's books he made would become an instant hit. Not to mention that it will be sold out of stock in the blink of an eye, at least it must get enough profit, otherwise how can it continue?

As for the clan brothers who were brought out to help, he set up a small bookstore in the bookstore cubicle, and let them study their homework here and copy books quietly.

Of course, the patriarch still had to show his face in the past, and when Mr. Jia Dairu, who was less and less focused on teaching, left, he took the food and snacks provided by the patriarch and left.

The atmosphere of ethnography is no longer suitable for them to continue to stay there, it is better to study and review by themselves in the bookstore, copy books to improve their own level.

is like the eldest Jia Yun, who already had such an impatient idea, but after arriving at the bookstore, he was able to calm down and learn to copy books by himself.

According to him, at his age, if he can't make a difference in the imperial examination, he should consider begging for a living outside.

In particular, the increasingly eccentric atmosphere of ethnology made it difficult for him to learn to copy books on his own with peace of mind.

If Jia Cong hadn't created a bookstore with a peaceful environment, he would be full of how to find a suitable job outside to make a living.

"Don't be in a hurry to make a living, wait until next year to go to the exam room and give it a try!"

Hearing this guy's thoughts, Jia Cong was very unimpressed, and took the initiative to propose: "Is there any possibility of going further in the imperial examination, as long as you go to the examination room, you will naturally know it!" ”

Whether it is ethnology or a bookstore, there are a collection of children's test questions and standard answers in Beijing over the years.

In Jia Cong's opinion, it is not difficult for children to test their sincerity, mainly by memorizing and memorizing. As long as you can memorize all the main exam books and have proper training, there will be no problems in the exam.

If it was just when he entered the clan study, none of the younger brothers under him could pass the test, and they were all a bunch of scumbags.

But after more than half a year of copying books, as well as supervising each other and self-study, the original sparse foundation has slowly been solidified.

I believe that there is another year of accumulation, and a few people with flexible brains will already be able to go to the examination room to give it a try.

Jia Yun's brain is the most flexible, and he is also the most active in copying books, and he has copied all over the four books and five classics.

In addition, self-study is also quite hard, and the foundation is quite good.

That is, Mr. Jia Dairu herds sheep and doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of ethnology at all, otherwise he will definitely be able to see the progress of Jia Cong's younger brothers.

It's just a pity......

Jia Yun followed the advice and planned to study for a year with peace of mind and wait for the exam room to give it a try next year. Anyway, the money earned from copying books is enough for his family to live a good life.

The situation of the rest of the younger brothers is similar to Jia Yun.

It's just that they don't have Jia Yun's efforts, and they don't have Jia Yun's brains, according to Jia Cong's estimates, if they want to pass the Tongsheng test, they will have to accumulate at least two years.

If this is spread, it will definitely cause an uproar.

How can Jia Cong have the self-confidence that in just over two years, his younger brother has the ability to participate in the children's examination?

You know, it's not uncommon for gray-haired old children to appear in the exam room from time to time.

Jia Cong has such confidence!

In private, he tried, according to the normal imperial examination time, the county examination, the government examination, the hospital examination, as well as the same examination and the general examination.

Although he couldn't bring it out and ask someone to comment on it, he thought it was pretty good.

Even if you don't achieve good grades, at least you can mix all the way to the middle level.

If you have the opportunity, you can send the test papers he did to Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou, and ask him to help comment on it, I believe you will get good results.

After finishing these, he figured out a set of simple and easy propaganda plans, and assigned additional tasks to his younger brothers, and then he completely relaxed.

Unexpectedly, he just returned home according to the school time this day, but he was blocked by Jia Lian, who had not seen him for many days, and was dragged to the pavilion in the small garden to talk.

"I said Second Brother Lian, don't you have a 'big business' to be busy with?"

Rolling his eyes, Jia Cong said angrily: "I don't have anything to dig out here......
