Moxiangzhai - the largest study in Xinglong County.

Liu Yifan and Luo Ying walked in side by side, and the purpose of coming in was very clear, that is, to buy paper, pen and ink in bulk, so after entering the door, Liu Luo and his wife went directly to the shopkeeper.

"Lord Liu, Mrs. Liu." As soon as I walked in, before I could call the shopkeeper, a male voice came from behind me.

The husband and wife looked sideways and saw that it was Yang Hui's mother and son.

"Brother Yang, such a coincidence."

"Mother, these two are Lord Liu and Mrs. Liu, and now the most profitable business in our Xinglong County is the masterpiece of Lord Liu and Mrs. Liu." Yang Hui said.

Liu Yifan got the favor of the emperor by doing business, and the matter of sealing the official is now spread all over the Xiangnan Mansion, you must know that in this era, Shinong industry and commerce, business is the last, although many old scholars and even some old-fashioned scholars feel that a businessman is an official, it is difficult to accept, but the emperor can't stand the old man likes it!

The Yang family was originally also a merchant, Yang Hui was born in a merchant family, although he is now a showman, but he doesn't feel anything about being an official businessman.

In fact, the emperor's appointment of Liu Yifan as an official has improved the status of the businessman to a certain extent.

"Lord Liu, Mrs. Liu came to the study today, but do you have anything you want to buy?" Han said, "Lord Liu, Mrs. Liu is a great benevolent person for the benefit of the common people, and if you look at anything for a while, Lu Xiucai will not be able to make their money." ”

Han naturally knows the name of Liu Yifan and his wife, and also wants to make a good relationship, and Lu Xiucai in her mouth is the steward of the study.

"This study is your property!" Liu Yifan said, "Actually, we want to buy pen, ink and paper in large quantities. ”

"Massive?" When Han and the others heard this, they looked at each other, thinking that they had heard it wrong, and Yang Hui asked, "Lord Liu, I heard it right!" You said...... Substantial? ”

"Yes, a lot!" Liu Yifan said, "We need about 100 brushes, 50 catties of ink, 50 inkstones, and 100 copies of paper, 50 sheets each." ”

Yang Hui's family was stunned!

Han Shi was the first to react, and immediately said, "Hui'er, take Lord Liu and Mrs. Liu to the back tearoom and sit down!" ”

After a long time, Yang Hui reacted, stabilized his mind, and asked, "Lord Liu, Mrs. Liu, please inside!"

When he arrived at the tea room, Yang Hui asked, "I take the liberty of asking, you bought so many pen, ink, paper, and inkstones......

Liu Yifan said: "To tell the truth, we are going to hold a literacy class in the village......

"What is a literacy class?" Yang Hui asked again.

Then Liu Yifan explained the literacy class again, and at the same time told Yang Hui the purpose of the literacy class.

Han and Yang Cui were shocked!

Yang Hui also didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and Lu Xiucai said excitedly: "Lord Liu really deserves to be the emperor's personal economic envoy!" This kind of vision is far beyond our generation! One day, I will tell everyone how to read and write...... I'm ...... I'll ......" Lao Xiucai spoke incoherently excitedly.

Liu Yifan said: "So this batch of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I bought it for poor students, not to make money, and I will not make money from it, and in the future, literacy classes will be opened in other places, so the price is ......."

In the future, the villages around Xinglong County will open literacy classes one after another, and when there are more people, there will be more pen, ink, paper and inkstone will be needed.

Yang Hui and the others also took this into account, and another point is that Yang Hui also wants to get closer to Liu Yifan through this matter.

Yang Hui said: "Lord Liu takes care of our Yang family so much, and besides, this is also a good thing in itself, we will do our best to support it, I don't know Lord Liu, what kind of pen, ink, paper and inkstone do you want to buy?" ”

"Ordinary people can't afford to use good ones, just ordinary ones." Liu Yifan said.

Luo Ying didn't know much about the ancient stationery, so Liu Yifan did the selection of stationery, bargained, and finally bought a brush for five yuan, a paper for seven yuan, and the inkstone was also the cheapest, one inkstone was ninety-five yuan, and the most expensive was ink, four hundred and eighty yuan per catty.

This price is already a lot cheaper than buying alone, and Han is also generous, saying that in order to thank them for bringing business to Moxiangzhai, he has to send a "treasure broom" to Liu Yifan as a thank you gift.

A broom, at least ten taels of silver.

Of course, Liu Yifan didn't ask for it, but Han was very persistent, and finally Luo Ying said: "Since Mrs. Yang is so polite, it is a good thing not to send more paper to the literacy class, and we will also tell the students about Mo Xiangzhai's good deeds." ”

Luo Ying's proposal, of course, the Han family can have a good reputation, and at the same time can make Liu Yifan and his family happy, why wouldn't she do it?

Han immediately asked Lu Xiucai to take another stack of papers, visually inspected five or six hundred, and sent more than a dozen pens, and Lu Xiucai led people to pack everything in the box, and then put it on Liu Yifan's carriage.

"Brother Yang, can I trouble you again?" Liu Yifan said.

"Sensei said that it is not troublesome, Lord Liu has something to do, but it is okay to say it."

"We want to find one or two masters for the literacy class, preferably excellent in character and learning, but the family conditions are a little difficult, the literacy class only holds classes for about two hours a day, and one and a half hours in the literacy class, and we will come to my factory to give lectures to my workers at an hour, and they will not delay their own homework, and we will pay 20 wen a day."

As soon as Yang Hui heard Liu Yifan's words, he immediately guessed Liu Yifan's intentions, and arched his hand: "Lord Liu is really enthusiastic, your move not only allows the children to read and write, but also allows some poor people to enter Beijing to catch the exam, Yang admires, admires!" ”

At this time, Yang Cui said: "Brother, didn't you say that you have a classmate whose father died, and now you are keeping filial piety, and the pillars have fallen, I am afraid it will be difficult to participate in the imperial examination, isn't it an opportunity for Lord Liu to be here?" ”

Yang Hui looked suddenly enlightened, and said: "Yes, yes, Lord Liu, my classmate, the situation at home is not very good, his father died at the end of last year, and the originally difficult days are even worse, why don't I take him to Choushuwan to see you tomorrow?" ”

"Then I'll trouble you, bring him over tomorrow morning."

"No trouble, no trouble, then I'll go to him now."

After thanking Yang Hui and others, Liu Yifan and his family were ready to return to the village.

The two people on the road didn't know that at this time, the rumors about Liu Yifan in the village were already flying all over the sky.

The two of them completely ignored the presence of the coachman, and while they were in the carriage, the carriage was stopped.

"Oops! You're back! It was Luo Juxiang who spoke, "Yifan, you can!" ”

Seeing the smile on Luo Juxiang's face, why did Luo Ying feel so dazzling?

Luo Ying said, "What do you mean? ”

"What do you mean? It's the first time I've seen a sister and a husband! Luo Juxiang said with a smile, "If you want me to say, Yingzi, you can't blame Yifan, who told you that you can't have children?" ”
