CHAPTER XVI

According to the statistics of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Ming and Qing dynasties from the Ming and Qing dynasties (1371) to the end of the 30th year of Guangxu (1904) in the Ming and Qing dynasties, a total of 201 subjects were held in the palace examination, plus the erudite Hongzi department, the translation department, the Manchurian Jinshi department, a total of 51,681 Jinshi were admitted, including 24,866 in the Ming Dynasty, 26,815 in the Qing Dynasty, and 7,877 people in Jiangnan were admitted to the Jinshi. Accounting for 15.24 c/o in the country, including 3,864 in the Ming Dynasty, accounting for 15.54 c/o in the country, 4,013 in the Qing Dynasty, accounting for 14.95 c/o in the country, overall, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, every 7 jinshi, there is more than 1 from Jiangnan, such a high proportion, it is really amazing.

From the perspective of modern people, the main conditions for the leading culture in the south of the Yangtze River are closely related to its economic development, and each person in the northwest region has to starve for dozens of acres of land, but in the water town, a few acres of land for the whole family is enough to support a scholar, and under such conditions, the cultural atmosphere is naturally cultivated.

Scholars have money, in addition to looking for Yan Ruyu and buying a golden house, they will more or less buy some books, even if they are pretending, they also unconsciously leave a lot of precious engraved books in Jiangnan. In addition, the Liangjiang area is hugely rich, and the children of the family are noble, which can be said to be the search for the world, and with the deliberate efforts of countless people, the collection of books in the south of the Yangtze River has gradually become fruitful, until Xianfeng is broken, and the scattering of books has gradually become a pain for many bibliophiles.

Zhou Shuming also seems to be a scholar, but he doesn't know if he caught up with the end of the department and got fame, hearing that Huang Xuan's troubles were about wanting to buy books, he laughed, shook his hand and said: "What's so difficult about this, I may not be outstanding in Jiaxing, but if you want to tell a story, you have to do it." ”

"But I don't know ...... place"

"Just wrap it around me." Zhou Shuming said: "I ...... Jiaxing"

Without waiting for him to brag any more, Huang Xuan couldn't help but interrupt, and said with a serious face: "My father already has a lot of treasures, and this time I came here to buy some rare books, if there are only ones, it is naturally the best." Generally speaking, whether it is a rare book or a rare book, it is an ancient book, so the rare book of the Qing Dynasty is not necessarily the rare book of the Ming Dynasty, and from a modern point of view, the rare book of 1927 is naturally counted as the engraved book of the Qing Dynasty, but if the weight of Lorraine's perversion is limited, his vision has to increase year-on-year.

Zhou Shuming stroked his beard, smiled, and said, "But I don't know what Huang Gongzi has taken ainto?" "From ancient times to the present, there are few bibliophiles who have lasted for three generations, and with the turmoil of Chinese politics, Jiaxing's ancient books have become more and more in the market, but the warlords are fighting, and the government has no time to do this, so compared with the previous and subsequent eras, there are more ancient books that can be bought at this time.

Huang Xuan shook his head lightly, pointed to the location of the warehouse and said: "I came here this time to bring more than 1,500 stones of grain, and more than 200 stones to sell the rice shop of the inclined bridge. ”

The horn on the dock sounded, but Zhou Shuming was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, 1,500 stone grain cost more than 20,000 yuan, in other words, the young man in front of him was willing to buy a book with 2,000 oceans, what is a big deal, this is it. Boss Zhou smacked his lips and said loudly: "Huang Gongzi, wait for the old man for a few days, and I will definitely be able to accept the grain in this warehouse." ”

"That's for the best." Huang Xuan also laughed loudly: "But I will stay for 5 days at most, Boss Zhou, don't be late." ”

"It's a deal."

"It's a deal."

Just when Huang Xuan was struggling to protect the cultural heritage of mankind, the shopkeeper Zhu was about to break his leg, and the capital of the diagonal bridge rice shop was insufficient, after the Ming Dongjia, he and the Zhu family housekeeper raised 1000 yuan from the warehouse, and quietly contacted the good shops, wanting to join hands to buy all the grain in Huang Xuan's hands, he saw clearly, those are all good seed grains, the price is not more than 12 yuan, and listen to his statement, it seems that there are more on the way, even the owner who is not very careful, I also worked hard to make a big profit.

However, in the afternoon, the news of the arrival of a large amount of grain rumored to come in an uproar, and the rice market of the entire Jiaxing Prefecture was shaken. Shopkeeper Zhu wanted to find out who had passed the news at first, but naturally found nothing, so he became even more hurried, and rushed to the dock with the silver money without waiting for the agreed time.

After counting the quantity with Jiang Yisheng, Huang Xuan ordered the men to put the box full of silver dollars in the room, and then transfer it to the entrance of the plane passage, and then went out and said to the shopkeeper Zhu: "In this way, the grain in this warehouse will be returned to the Xieqiao rice shop." ”

"Okay, okay." Shopkeeper Zhu rubbed his hands excitedly, watched his subordinates take stock of the grain depot again, was blown by the cold wind, and the excitement just went, and he hurriedly ran to Huang Xuan's side without hesitation, and said with a huff: "Boss Huang, I heard that you still have a batch of grain to be shipped?" ”

Where I heard it, I guessed it. Huang Xuan pursed his lips disdainfully, his remaining grain was still in the plane passage, where did he hear about it, but at this moment he still smiled and said: "Yes, there are more than a thousand stones, but there is a Zhou Shuming, Boss Zhou said that he wanted it all, and I was ready to promise him." ”

"The old fellow." Shopkeeper Zhu gritted his teeth and said: "Boss Huang, you see that we have a happy transaction, and our account is also sincere, I don't know if you can leave this business to your number?" ”

"It's not that it doesn't work." Huang Xuanjiang said Zhou Shuming's words again, ignored the stunned shopkeeper Zhu, and said, "In this way, I will wait for good news at the inn in the town." ”

Since ancient times, businessmen have made heavy profits, and the gentlemen who have been designated as Chinese national capitalists in textbooks are not exempt from vulgarity, and the owner of the Xieqiao rice shop, the current head of the Zhu family, Zhu Hongren, got the news from the shopkeeper, and once again picked up his crutches and circled around the small garden, as for the rest of the rice shops that were already one step behind the Zhu family, they were even more upside down, asking around for news.

There is not much food in more than 1,000 stones, even in today's food shortage, it was originally just to increase people's topics before and after meals, but if the grain of more than 1,000 stones is only exchanged for 10 books, the profits in it are so great that the shopkeepers who do vegetarian business are like smelling bloody sharks and hungry wolves, and they have waved shark fins and cruised.
