Chapter 376, the profiteer Yongzhen
The Wangyuetai project lasted more than half a year, and I don't know how many tools, doors and windows and glazed tiles were spent, and the Eleventh Elder Brother's Mansion obviously did not have a construction project. Therefore, in order to cover up, Yongying deliberately bought a piece of land and built a two-story waterfront building on the Shicha Seaside, which is only a stick of incense away from Brother's Mansion.
The Wangyue Hall was completed, and the waterfront building was also completed.
"You're going to open a restaurant?" Looking at this building standing on the shore of Shichahai Lake, Ying Yue asked curiously.
Yongying shrugged, "Restaurant? I don't want to be impeached and compete with the people! ”
Ying Yue rolled her eyes: "Don't you?" "Which of the shops left by Emperor Shujia and Concubine Yongzheng is not competing with the people?
Yong Ying choked: "Uh......"
Ying Yue smiled, "Na, what is this building for?" You don't just want to build a landscape building, do you? ”
Yongying squinted his eyes and said: "Naturally, it is impossible, the master has spent so much silver, he must have to think about returning to the original." ”
Well, this is in line with Yongying's temperament. Ying Yue nodded.
Yongying took his hand and said, "Go in and take a look, and you'll know what it's for." ”
At this time, a man in his thirties dressed as a scholar walked over quickly, clasped his hands and saluted, "Students see Eleventh Elder Brother and Eleventh Fujin." ”
The scholar in front of him is obviously one of the poor scholars in Yongying's acceptance.
Yong Ying nodded: "In the future, this place will be handed over to Mr. Shi to take care of." ”
This Mr. Shi smiled slightly, and said: "This is a good deed to educate all people, and it will benefit the future generations, and the students should do their best, and they will no longer be entrusted by the eleventh master." ”
Ying Yue couldn't help but glance inside, but saw dense rows of bookshelves, oh, it turned out to be reserved for the library! No wonder you have to hire a scholar to take care of it.
Ying Yue asked in a low voice, "Is this a ...... Library? ”
Yong Ying smiled: "At most, it can only be regarded as a library." ”
O library, the printing of books in this era is very expensive, and to fill this entire library building is far more expensive than the construction of the book building itself!
This door-picker is so willing to spend money?
Mr. Shi behaved gently, leading the way to lead the eleventh elder brother and eleven Fu Jin into the library building, and on the rows of bookshelves, there were books next to each other, most of which were brand new. And the spine of the book is labeled with the title of the book.
In this way, it can be seen that this book building must establish an index system.
Mr. Shi's face was full of admiration: "The eleventh master is really young and talented, and he can come up with such a method!" After the index book is compiled, only ten acquaintances are needed to take care of the entire library! ”
Ying Yue's belly: Where is this method that Yong Ying came up with? ? It's clearly plagiarism! Yongying is cheeky enough, and he accepted this compliment with a peaceful face.
Mr. Shi whispered again: "It's just this library card...... Is it cheaper? ”
Yong Ying said lightly: "Mr. Shi, don't worry, you can't make money from you poor scholars!" On this floor, you are ready to lose money forever! ”
Mr. Shi was overjoyed: "Eleventh Master Gaoyi! Students are respectful! ”
Respect your sister, Yongying plans to lose money on the first floor, and he doesn't plan to make money from poor scholars, this is clearly planning to make money on the second floor and slaughter the money of those rich people!
This Mr. Shi is too simple......
Yong Ying raised the corners of his mouth and smiled proudly: "The library card on this floor can be 50 yuan a year, and if you really don't have any money, you can also copy books to offset the account." ”
Mr. Shi hurriedly bowed his hand and bowed deeply: "Student on behalf of Sergeant Beijing, thank you for the grace of the eleventh master!" ”
Yongying smiled and said: "Mr. is polite, and the issuance and management of this library card will be handed over to Mr. in the future." In addition, if the weather is cold, although you can't supply charcoal fire, you can supply hot water for free. ”
Mr. Shi thanked him again and again, Ying Yue was speechless, a cheap library card, plus free hot water, can be said to be Yong Ying's invitation to buy a very high reputation, it is really cost-effective.
Yongying told a few words and asked this Mr. Shi to prepare for a library card, and then took Yingyue to the second floor.
The first floor gives people the feeling that there are just a lot of books, but this second floor, it can be called a luxury! The bookshelves are all made of rosewood, but these rosewood...... Ying Yue rolled her eyes, Nima was all cut down in her small world, right?
Moreover, there are also finely carved bookcases and chairs, and the four treasures of the study room are complete, ready to splash ink at any time.
There are also incense tables and smokers, and the fresh and pleasant aroma comes out of the smoker.
Mica screens, gilded charcoal pots, and saffron tables are all exquisite.
The flowers are separated by orchids and dwarf pines of various colored bonsai, and even elegant.
There are not too many books on the shelves here, but they are all the most exquisite palace books, and there are sages and ink treasures on the walls that are rare for ordinary people! Dong Qichang's calligraphy, Shen Zhou's painting...... Any one is priceless.
"How?" Yongying waved his arm, a look of satisfaction.
This is simply the study room of the rich and noble! And it's the kind of XL size......
"How much are you going to sell for this second-floor library card?" Ying Yue raised her eyebrows and asked.
Yong Ying touched his chin, "Five hundred taels, a year." ”
Yingyue: ...... Earn you can't die! With such a large second-floor space, it is very spacious to accommodate 100 people reading books at the same time - and it is impossible for people who have bought library cards to come all at once. So, at least 200 library cards can be sold, which is ...... 100,000 taels of silver!
Good guy, just relying on this second floor, you can earn at least 100,000 taels of silver every year!
Yong Ying pointed to the top four treasures of the study again, "The book building is not allowed to take out pen and ink, and these four treasures of the study are all charged." ”
Ying Yue scolded angrily in her heart: Profiteers!
Yong Ying smiled again and said: "The second floor also serves tribute tea and palace snacks, of course, they are all charged!" ”
I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money, right?
It's just that people who can spend 500 taels of silver to buy a library card don't care about this bit of silver, right?
Moreover, the significance of the library card on the second floor is not only in the calligraphy and paintings of those precious sages here, but also in the fact that this place can gather the circle of elites in Beijing! Naturally, rich people don't mind spending some money and making friends with the powerful!
Yongying's business acumen is simply amazing!
Ying Yue snorted: "I'm afraid that I can return to my capital in a year, right?" ”
Yongying sighed, "How can it! The library card on the second floor, according to the rough estimate, will give away at least fifty copies, and they are all given away for nothing! ”
Ying Yue thought slightly, and knew who she was going to give it to, of course, it was those princes, grandsons, and nobles of the clan, these people could greatly increase the value of the library, and with these "customers", were you afraid that you would not be able to recruit rich people?
"By the way, the master will give you ten, you can keep it for your brothers and nephews." Yong Ying Dao.
Ying Yue said quietly: "How can ten be enough?" "She has four brothers alone, and the eldest brother is far away in Yunnan, not counting, there are also three. As for cousins...... There are even more, and there are many adults in the nephews, and ten is definitely not enough.
"Of course you can't send it to everyone, you can think about it." Yongying sighed, looking like he was in pain.
