Chapter 428: Bookstore
In fact, this is also a little person, how can a woman in the house get a glimpse of the changes in the world if she doesn't happen to Jiangnan by chance? It's already good to be able to keep yourself clean and maintain the bottom line of being a person.
Since I am in a hurry, I plan to implement it immediately, but I am afraid that something will happen to me, and I am not allowed to go out, so I have to call Bao'er to come over and help find the bookstore.
Lybauer quickly found a few of them, one of which was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management, and Lybauer shook her head and sighed when she arrived.
"What's wrong?" I ask curiously.
"This owner doesn't know anything, the young master doesn't know how to make money, so he spends money to decorate the faΓ§ade and make a big storefront, listen to the movable type, buy better than others, but before it opens, the money in hand is spent, and now it is difficult to continue, and the shopkeeper is ready to run away."
"Why don't you open it?" Chunming is strange.
"The bookstore has to be filed with the government, and those little officials can't get a hundred taels of silver when they open their mouths."
I would like to nod my head, many inexperienced young people do business like this, they have big eyes and small bellies, and in the end, the capital turnover is not good, and they are forced to close their doors.
"If Niangniang wants to print books, it is better to come down to this office and say hello." Lybauer thinks that if you want to open a bookstore, you must open it best, the best, the largest, so it is recommended.
I would like to nod that other people's bookstores are open well, and it is not easy for me to insert my feet into them, and it is very impressive to come to Bao'er's suggestion.
"Let's take a look."
Chunming and Xia Yang dissuaded together: "Niangniang, don't you just let Mr. come and take a look?" β
I would like to shake my head, that bookstore person hasn't left yet, and I want to see if I can leave anyone, how can I fake a hand?
I wanted to come to a few military uniforms, dressed as an officer, Chunming and Xia Yang wore Qincha guard uniforms, so they nodded and agreed, but finally decided to ride out on horseback, and they were unwilling, thinking about themselves, they were also running to the five, and the body was far away, and they were flexible when they were young, and finally agreed to take Qian Jun and leave a few guards to take the carriage to Maocheng East Street.
Living in the center of the city, the north and south of the big Shangdong Street also turned a corner, and after walking for a long time, I saw the plaque of Maolin Bookstore hanging on a two-story balcony, and the door of the bookstore also appeared to be two feet taller than the neighbors.
A group of people around the gate of the bookstore saw that the soldiers were coming, and the rest ran quietly, and the rest were too involved in watching the excitement, and they all stretched their necks to watch with relish.
I heard an arrogant voice through the window: "What about agreeing to open the business, inviting Lao Tzu to dinner, and paying Lao Tzu protection money?" What about money? β
A young voice was full of anger and grievance: "Isn't this not open?" β
"If you don't open for a lifetime, I'll starve to death?"
"I don't owe it, I don't owe it, I don't ask for it, why should I give money."
"Yo, your mouth is hard? Believe it or not, the store was smashed. β
"If you dare to smash the store, report it to the official!"
"Report it, report it, hurry up, is it difficult to become an official, can the old man and uncle support it? Don't sprinkle a soak of urine to take care of your own virtues! β
Passing by, hearing this, he snorted angrily, and Lai Bao'er hurriedly stopped: "May I ask the eldest brother, what's going on?" β
"Zhang Sanxuan is harmful, which one of them on this street has not been taken for nothing? Alas, who doesn't know 'Zhang Sanxuan's white eyes'? β
Lai Baoer is afraid that he will misunderstand: "If you don't pay if you stare at you, the wicked person will sue first and return to your head to stare?" β
"Oh no!"
"But these look at peopleβ"
"All the good things are mixed with Zhang Sanxuan."
Although I knew that gangsters were indispensable in any society, I really saw Jin, and I was very angry and got out of the car and walked into the crowd.
Zhang Sanxuan was pulling a young man's chest and dragging his clothes inside: "I owe two months of protection money, and I won't pay it again." β
The young man was wearing a long shirt, obviously lacking the strength, and the scholar scolded while struggling: "What do you owe Zhang Sanxuan, I didn't have my parents, my mother didn't give me less food, I fed the dog with my conscience, or my mother would have starved to death if I didn't take it, my mother did bad things with good intentions, and I fed a white-eyed wolfββ"
Zhang Sanxuan threw down the young man and kicked his foot: "Beat to death and dare to scold Lao Tzu!" β
A few young guards couldn't stand it for a long time, and when they saw the master waving his hand, they rushed over like a hungry tiger pounced on food, and one of them snatched the fallen young man to the ground, and next to him raised his fist and beat it.
Zhang Sanxuan kicked the air and was strange, he was stunned, his fist had already arrived, and he was hitting the bridge of his nose, and the people around him heard a click, and the bones were broken.
Zhang Sanxuan was so painful that his voice was distorted, the strange scream was particularly terrifying, and several accomplices immediately turned pale, looking around, and secretly wanted to slip away.
"Stay!" I would like to order the rest of the guards to reach out and grab them at once.
The young man who fell to the ground woke up from his stunned state and knelt down with an ordinary sound: "Thank you, benefactor, thank you!" β
"Get up, get up, get up." I would like to gesture, "I still have something to help." β
"Benefactor, please speak."
"Listen to these bad guys, fish and meat neighbors, go and inform those who have been harmed, record their confessions, and send them to the yamen!"
"Alas, the benefactor doesn't know what the brother-in-law and the Governor's Mansion have experienced, and no one can tell me about this piece, otherwise where would he be willing to swallow his anger so much? I've been studying for a few days. β
"Just go and call someone, the governor can't take care of it, and you've heard of it? Lord Qincha Qingtian. β
"I've heard that just a few years ago, I destroyed the Blessing God Sect here, but hasn't Lord Qincha come yet?"
"I've seen it when I came."
The young man cheered happily and saluted, and then shouted as he ran: "Uncle and aunt have all come to visit, the government has arrested Zhang Sanxuan, and he wants to write down his sins and send them to Qincha, come quicklyββ"
Just now, people saw the figures, and now they heard the shouting, and they believed a little, and soon people from nearby shops and residents came.
"Go and get a pen and paper, everyone write it down, and then show it to the Qin Cha to punish the crime!"
The young man was dragged away just now, his feet were still a little painful, and while laughing, he limped into the store, took out a pen and paper, and moved a small stool, pursed his lips seriously, and other records.
I would like to signal Lai Baoer to preside.
Lai Bao'er had been a magistrate, and when he asked, he looked at the young man and wrote page after page.
"Lord Qingtian doesn't want to send your lord? But you have to call the shots for you - "an old lady cried", this three choices were originally a poor egg without a piece of tile on the top, and a few years ago, my sister Congliang married Zhang Shi, and then launched extortion everywhere, and the house also wore silk and satin, this piece of old neighborhoods were about to die, woo woo, the family was taken away more than 20 taels of silver! β
"That's so many!" Zhang Sanxuan's mouth was crooked, and he didn't forget to quibble.
"Every month, I have to collect two dollars of silver, a year is two, four, five years, twelve taels, and I take away my daughter-in-law, weaving three horses, which are also worth one tael of silver, and I also build a house, and I took away a dozen wooden rafters from the house, which is worth eight taels of silver, and it is not counting the New Year's holidays, I eat eggs for nothing at home, and the old hen returns home, and the big flower cat is killed, and I am killed."
The old woman cried, and everyone around her cried, and then they all began to complain, and every family had a blood and tear account.
"Come on, don't cry, everyone." Lai Bao'er had no choice but to put it down, and sent it away for another hour, and sent two guards to escort those villains to the yamen.
If you dare to cover up Qian Jun again, you will definitely have a pot.
There was no time, and Bao'er had to make an appointment with the young man to come back the next day.
"Prepare the writer, and call the owner to take a look."
"Good!"
On the way back, I learned that the young man called Zhu Xinyun, his parents passed away, and left the courtyard gatehouse, which used to be rented out and the monthly rent was a lot, enough to live comfortably, but he always wanted to break out of the world by himself, and the people who read would not think that he would sell a book, and he would always plan to open a bookstore.
The next morning, I would like to bring someone out to the realm of the realm, and come to Bao'er to get off the horse and take a ride: "Is the shopkeeper there?" β
There were a few people sitting in the hall on the first floor, rolling their eyes, but they didn't say anything, Lai Bao'er had to raise his voice, only to hear a loud sound on the stairs, Zhu Xinyun came down, wore a Western-style uniform, and wore a scarf on his head, not to mention how awkward it was, when he looked at it, he couldn't help but want to laugh, how can such a person make money?
Zhu Xinyun was originally frowning, and when he saw Jin, he immediately showed a smile and asked a few lazy people to introduce: "This is the customer." β
The men immediately perked up.
"What do you want to print?" I wish Xinyun asked. "Let's see if they can print it." "You can come and see."
