Chapter Twenty-Five: The Monk Can Touch It, You Can't Touch It

How much money can you make selling book manuscripts?

Looking at Li Xiangyu with an excited and expectant expression, Lu Guan stretched out a finger and said with a smile: "Is there a hundred taels?"

Li Xiangyu shook his head: "Less!"

Lu Guan was a little unconvinced, and saw that Li Xiangyu didn't seem to be joking, and quipped: "Could it be that you earned two hundred taels? That's really good." ”

Li Xiangyu shook his head with a smile and stretched out five fingers, "Brother-in-law, you really can't guess, we earned this!"

"Five hundred taels?" Lu Guan looked surprised, and then said with relief: "It seems that you and Liuliu have really helped." We all know that we are making money. ”

Nazhi Li Xiangyu still shook his head.

"It's not five hundred taels, it's five thousand taels, it's a net profit!" Li Xiangyu said proudly.

Five thousand taels? Lu Guan looked at Li Xiangyu in disbelief, or did he make a net profit? This has only been a few days' work? You must know that a small caravan traveling across the province may not necessarily have a profit of five thousand taels.

Looking at his brother-in-law who was shocked and disbelieving, Li Xiangyu sneered, "Brother-in-law, as the next generation of the Lu family, you are only five thousand taels, so you won't be shocked like this, right?"

Of course, Lu Guan was not shocked like this because of five thousand taels of silver, although five thousand taels was much, but for Lu Guan or the Lu family, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Lu Guan was surprised that Li Xiangyu and Lu Liuliu had only been in Jinan Mansion for more than ten days, and they were able to make a net profit of 5,000 taels of silver? Or did they say that their wife and brother, who had always been honest and steady, had they only seen each other for a few days and learned to brag?

"Really?" Lu Guan confirmed in disbelief.

What Lee Sang-woo said is naturally true, and it is not counting today's profits.

Lu Guan's current expression made Li Xiangyu's heart very happy, it felt like a student who had always passed the exam and suddenly took the first place in the class, and Lu Guan was the stunned parent teacher. Li Xiangyu, who was satisfied, did not sell Guan Zi at the moment, and told him what He Lu Liuliu had done in the past few days, and even the manuscript was written by himself, and the content was not concealed by some Fengyue stories.

Selling Fengyue scripts, new printing technology, and Lu Guan, who learned about the end of the matter, couldn't cry or laugh.

followed Li Xiangyu to the room where the script was printed, Lu Guanzai took a closer look, from the word mold to the printing, the more Lu Guan looked at it, the more serious he became, and finally saw a large number of newly printed subsets of scriptures and histories stacked in the corner, his expression suddenly became serious, he thought about it, picked up a temporarily useless word mold and put it in his arms, and motioned for Li Xiangyu to leave.

The two walked out of the door, and Lu Guan asked with a serious face: "You came up with this movable type printing technique." ”

"Hmm. Lu Guan's serious expression made Li Xiangyu a little puzzled.

"I see that there are still a large number of newly printed subsets of scriptures and histories in the house, are you planning to sell them?

Lu Guan spoke very quickly and asked a few questions one after another.

"I have been printing manuscripts a few days ago, and in the past two days, I have printed this batch of subsets of scriptures and histories, and I haven't had time to sell them. As for the price, due to our low cost, after discussing with my cousin, I thought that I would sell it at 80% of the market price, and I should make a steady profit. ”

Hearing this, Lu Guan breathed a sigh of relief, and patted Li Xiangyu on the shoulder in fear and said, "You guys are really big-hearted!"

Lee Sang-woo doesn't know why.

Lu Guan didn't mean to explain, looked up at the sky, and then asked, "Is Liuliu coming back soon?"

Looking at the sky and estimating the hour, Li Xiangyu nodded and said, "It should be soon." ”

"That's okay, Xiangyu, you go back to the room first, I'll wash my face and change my clothes, and I'll talk about it when I come back." ”

Li Xiangyu responded and went back to the room to rest.

......

It was getting dark, and in the yard a local dog twice the size of ordinary people was squinting and lying on the ground, dozing out boredly.

A sound of footsteps sounded, and the earth dog cleverly pricked up its ears, listened for a while, and then returned to its original state.

After a while, Lu Liuliu led two subordinates over excitedly.

"Cousin, I sold more than one hundred and twenty volumes today!" Before entering the house, Lu Liuliu shouted excitedly.

As he spoke, he came into the room and saw Lu Guan sitting at the dinner table, Lu Liuliu was surprised, "Cousin, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Lu Guan joked: "It's not because you sent a letter saying that there was a big deal, and the family was not at ease, so you had to let me go." ”

Speaking of big deals, Lu Liuliu hurriedly snatched the burden from the hands of the people behind him, walked in front of Lu Guan and opened it, and said proudly: "Cousin really has a big deal, you see, I earned thousands of taels of silver in one day today!"

Lu looked at the baggage, it was all broken silver of different sizes, and it seemed that there were really thousands of taels.

"Okay, I've heard Xiangyu say it in the afternoon, you hurry up and wash your hands and eat. ”

Lu Liuliu responded and went to wash his hands with a smile.

After eating quickly, Lu Guan called Li Xiangyu and the others into the study, and when the maid made tea, Lu Guan waved his hand to let the maid out.

Waiting for the maid to go out, Lu Guan personally lifted the teacup and poured a cup of tea for the two, and said: "I originally thought that the big deal that Liuliu said was a joke, but after I learned about it today, it was really a big buy*** I imagined it was big." ”

Li Xiangyu and Lu Liuliu looked at each other and smiled, their faces full of pride.

Lu Guan didn't have a smile on his face, put down the teapot and continued: "The imperial court has an autumn festival this year, are you two still taking the exam?"

The two of them were a little inexplicable, didn't they say that it was a big deal? Thinking about it, the two nodded in unison.

"Don't talk about him, anyway, the family has already arranged it, it's better if you win, and if you don't win, you will spend money to donate a shortage, but what about you?"

Li Xiangyu didn't understand very well, was his brother-in-law worried that he wouldn't be able to win? After thinking about it, he said, "I should be able to win, right?"

Lu Guan nodded, and said with a serious face: "I also believe that you can win, but you want to go through the imperial examination, why do you do such a stigmatizing thing?"

"Stigma?" Lee Sang-woo was a little puzzled.

"The Fengyue script you wrote, when you enter the court as an official, it will be a hidden danger!" Lu Guan said sharply.

Lu Liuliu next to him couldn't help but interject: "What's the hidden danger here? Xie Yuan also painted a picture of the Spring Palace!"

Li Xiangyu nodded approvingly, can't the monk touch me? Besides, I am relying on my own talent to make money, what is the hidden danger?

Looking at the two of them looking indifferent, Lu Guan became more and more serious: "Then Tang Jieyuan's reputation has long been reformed because of the fraud case in the scientific field, so he is willing to fall, and he lingers in the land of fireworks all day long and makes a living by selling paintings, can you be the same as him?"

Hearing this, Li Xiangyu scolded secretly, and at first he also thought that it was inappropriate to write Fengyue's words, but later he felt that since Xie Yuan could sell the Spring Palace map, he didn't take it to heart, who knew that it was a Xie Yuan who was dismissed, and he almost fell into the ditch, thinking about the official diary that was made public in his memory, it was really a hidden danger.

"Anyway, no one knows me now, and not many people go out. Li Xiangyu said cautiously.

"Don't!" Lu Liuliu had a distressed expression, and then begged Lu Guanyang: "Cousin, you want to find a way, this is all silver!"

Lu Liuliu and Lu Guan were not so polite, and reprimanded loudly: "Are you short of silver? I haven't said you yet! It's also your idea to sell a subset of the Seal Scripture History!

Lu Liuliu, who was reprimanded, was a little unconvinced, and retorted in a low voice: "Who would think that there is a lot of silver? ”

Looking at Lu Liuliu, who was full of words, Lu Guan smiled angrily.

"You know!"
