Chapter 111: Volume, Roll to Death
Zhang said, sighed and said: "Your brother-in-law is a son, and he always has to share his father's worries and solve problems, this is the Western ...... Hundreds of officials said that it was a waste of money, food and people's power...... You're out there...... Did you hear anything? ”
Zhang Anshi said: "As Sister said, this is a thousand years of work, how can short-sighted people understand it, these people just want their wives and children to be hot on the kang." ”
Zhang blinked, puzzled: "What is a wife?" ”
Zhang Anshi suddenly remembered that he didn't call his wife in this era, so he explained: "What does wife mean." ”
Zhang smiled: "Are your wives old?" ”
Zhang Anshi said: "Let's go to the old mother-in-law? Okay, sister, let's get down to business. I think Your Majesty is going to the West, but it's a good thing, don't let your brother-in-law mistakenly believe the hundred officials, and follow to coax. ”
"He knows." Zhang said: "Your brother-in-law is much more cautious than your words and deeds, if you can learn half of His Royal Highness the Prince, I will be Amitabha, and my heart will be relaxed." ”
Zhang Anshi didn't expect that he would kindly remind him, so he turned around and reprimanded, but fortunately, he got used to it, so he sneered and said: "It does cost a lot of money to go to the West...... You teach your brother-in-law to rest assured that when the spring comes, His Majesty will not be short of silver. ”
"Really?" Zhang stared at Zhang Anshi.
On this point, Zhang's is a little confident, his brother has no other skills, but his ability to hold silver is full of tricks.
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Don't worry, take care of me." ”
Now is a good sign, Zhu Di has begun to let the prince touch the state affairs less and less.
First it was the imperial examination, and now it is the household department.
Of course, Zhu Low-chi in history, in fact, the work was done wrong, at most weaker than my Lao Tzu.
Zhu Di may belong to this kind of person who can do small things, and what I do is something that Emperor Xu Shao dares to think about.
Those things, if you play well, you are the same existence as Qin Shihuang and Tang Taizong, but if you get rid of it, you will be Emperor Yang of Sui.
To a certain extent, everything comes from money, and you can only do things without money.
And Zhu Lowchi is almost a reserved business, specifically raising money for Zhu Di.
Huo Rongyi naturally went, it was too important to go to the West.
It is as long as you go to the Western Ocean, and it is better to let the Western Ocean go up sustainably.
That's the little thing that really benefits the people in heaven.
In that case...... I have to let Zheng He's fleet get a small sum of silver after it sets off.
But getting money is the same as getting money, no one makes money, it's desperately trying to get the people at the bottom!
That is less, people are also vegetarians, a prince will be Xiang Ning no seed, so he will be taught to die and have a place to be buried.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Yang felt ...... I had to start with those who had no money.
After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Yang hurriedly made a note and said...... I hope that in response to the national policy of going to the Western Ocean, some sea ships can also be built at Qixia Ferry, and people can be arranged to go to the Western Ocean with Zheng He.
The music was sent to the palace, Zhu Di saw that he was a little happy, and he couldn't help but say to Yishu: "The eldest son of Yang Taigong is still worthless, I am the one who slows down, the decree, and the grace." ”
said that, Zhu Di continued to frown, because it was indeed too expensive to go to the West, at most at the beginning of spring this year, it would cost Zheng He to go to the Wa Kingdom. As for going to the West, the place to go is even farther, and the amount of money and food spent is even more numerous.
Of course, there is no good news, this time Zheng He to the Japanese before the king's golden seal, at the same time, the Japanese king also expressed his support for Xiao Ming to clean up the Japanese invaders, and also arrested many Japanese and steamed those Japanese invaders.
There's a mistake, it's really steamed, like making steamed buns.
Zhu Di was quite satisfied with this, since the later Wa Kingdom occasionally disobeyed the yang and the yin, and now he saw Zheng He's mighty ships, so he was really obedient.
Zhu Di immediately picked up another report, which was played by the prince, and the situation on the side of the household department was compared, and there was silver.
Seeing this, Zhu Di had no choice but to sigh and say, "The prince has also tried his best, take some from my inner and outer treasures." ”
Although he said that, Zhu Di was vague, and the money in the house was ...... I have earned a lot this year, but after all, it is still unlimited, far carrying Zhu Di's ambitions.
Yishu said: "Yes." ”
…………
Time flies like a blink of an eye, and it's time for the New Year very slowly!
During the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Yang invited a group of brothers to take advantage of this year's cold and some rivers to freeze and fry ice.
Speaking of which, Chuzon shows the low level of a bomb artist.
A lump of ice, which requires a lot of gunpowder, seems to be familiar to me where it is set to detonate.
So much so that Zhu Yong and Zhang Wei didn't have any big hearts for me, and they always felt that guy was ...... will be more impulsive.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Huo Rongyi wore a new dress and went to the East Palace first, but at that time, it was the busiest time for my brother-in-law and sister.
So after a long time, he came out with a smoke, and asked Zhang Ba to prepare a gift and go to the Wei Mansion.
Mrs. Yang was able to come to pay New Year's greetings, and Zhang Anshi, the Duke of Wei, looked very happy!
I personally entertained that senior, and my son Xu Qin also wanted to come over, but he was almost kicked away by Huo Rongyi and told me to get out.
Mrs. Yang said modestly: "Hello Shibo, happy New Year." ”
Hearing the words Happy New Year, Zhang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "Okay, good." The nephew has grown up a lot, and he has also become lower, and now he is more and more like an adult. ”
Mrs. Yang smiled and saluted, Zhang Anshi asked me to sit on it, and waited for the servants to serve tea, Zhang Anshi said: "The old man heard that he has done a lot of good things at Qixia Ferry, that's very good, my daughter's little husband, starting a family is the most important thing." ”
Mrs. Yang said stupidly: "Actually, what you did was good, it was all falsely praised by others, you are too good at governance, and now your mind is written and said." ”
The book speaks in seven words, and his tone is very small, and in the eyes of special people, it is the work of a sage.
Of course, Zhang Anshi is a martial artist, and he cares about that at all.
I don't know that Huo Rongyi wants to write books and speak every day, and he has already broken the defense of these readers.
Huo Rongyi said earnestly: "He has no such ambition, it is excellent, his daughter is ambitious in all directions, it is said that it is so, but there is no good old saying, the so-called filial piety is not eight, and the former is small." His father died young, he was the only son in the family, and there was no man outside the family to take care of the household for him. ”
Mrs. Yang said fairly: "Yes, yes, the eldest nephew remembers." ”
Seeing that Huo Rongyi was going down, and he also knew whether he was really stupid or fake stupid, Zhang Anshi thought that his prompt was so obvious, Huo Rongyi should immediately kneel up and call me dad.
Zhang Anshi had no choice but to clean up his mood and laugh with Mrs. Yang again.
Seeing that the time difference was less, Mrs. Yang got up and said goodbye.
Zhang Anshi said: "Which one will you visit later?" ”
Mrs. Yang said fairly: "I still need to go to Uncle Zhu Shi, Uncle Qiu and Zhang's family." ”
When Zhang Anshi heard Uncle Qiu Shi, his face was slightly unchanged, and he smiled slowly: "That's what you should do, he has grown up, of course you have to pay attention to etiquette, it is like your Xu Qin, who has a head and a brain." ”
When he was in power, Mrs. Yang went out of Xu's mansion, came up one day, visited a few people's homes, and his brain was dizzy, so that he had the inertia of wanting to call Uncle when he met someone.
In the various busyness of the New Year's Festival, a few days passed, and seeing that the seventeenth day of the first lunar month was coming, Yang Xiang was called by Mrs. Yang.
As a business partner designated by Mrs. Yang, Yang Xiang was very depressed.
I'm in the business world now, and I'm almost walking sideways, after all, the East Palace and the Wu'an Hou Mansion are in front of me.
That's all, the Zhang family's little business, in fact, have entrusted me to regress from contact, under the surface I am just a foil, in fact, the Zhang family may also give me a little profit.
But the impact was huge.
For example, if Yang Taigong wants to find agents in various provinces, he will mediate through Yang Xiang, after all, there is nothing to do, and Yang Taigong, who is a relative of the emperor, will come forward.
At this time, I was really proud, businessmen from all over the world, in order to grab the agent, which one saw me and wanted to nod his head?
From now on, the little businessmen who called me 'this Zhu what' will now take the initiative to give me an arch and call Brother Zhu.
The kind of leap from hanging hair to beautiful boy made Yang Xiang immersed in it, and he was completely able to extricate himself.
Of course, I realized more and more that I had to hold on to Huo Rongyi's little tree, which was the foundation of my future life.
Therefore, Mrs. Yang only needed a greeting, and I immediately put down what I had at hand and hurried over.
The two looked at each other, and Mrs. Yang said: "It's the first month, the hospital examination in each province is also over, and the goods are ready to be sent out. ”
Yang Xiang smiled, took the list handed over by Mrs. Yang, and said with a smile: "Cheng Enbo does it himself, it's really teaching......... Teach people ......"
When I looked at the list, the words came to an abrupt end.
"What, a total of 700,000 books?" Yang Xiang's eyes were straight: "At the bottom of the day, I am afraid that there are so few readers who participate in the college examination, so are they sold out?" What's more, the price is eight taels, which is a large amount, uncle, once it is sold out, the goods of these agents will be rotten out of hand, I am afraid that we will ......"
At that time, the stock was small, mainly because there was plenty of time, and these printing workshops that cooperated with them, because they had no experience in cooperation, so on top of strict protection measures, they almost worked overtime to drive the goods out.
Compared with Huo Rong's shock, Yang Taigong smiled very calmly: "What does he mean, so few books, is it to sell them?" ”
Huo Rong smiled bitterly: "The big speculation may only be able to sell at least 170,000 copies, that is the limit, after all, ...... There are infinite scholars in heaven, and those who give up eight taels of silver...... Also unlimited. ”
Yang Taigong smiled and said: "He, he only knows how to do business, but you are the same, you are but you know how to do business, and you also know the reader." ”
"What?" Yang Xiang was stunned.
Mrs. Yang said calmly: "He is worried, just teach the provinces to distribute the goods, in addition to this, where are you...... There's no ...... yet."
As he spoke, Mrs. Yang took out a sample paper of the Di newspaper, handed it to Huo Rong, and said: "He takes a good look, when the time comes, that thing can also be spread out together, and he must teach the agents of the provinces to put that thing in the most conspicuous position of the bookstore that there is." ”
Yang Xiang took the Di Bao, and the outside, in fact, was no different from the Di Bao of the General Administration, the dense and large characters, but the paper was big, and before the folded Di Bao was spread out, the small one was scary.
I was confused, but if I thought about it, I just did it myself, and there were so few things, and what Cheng Enbo said was what it was.
So he swore solemnly: "Uncle, you are worried, the big one must be done properly." ”
Yang immediately ended contacting the agents who had been waiting here for a long time.
Those people were also unprepared, and those who chose to transport goods and those who did not have escorts along the way were the most trusted people.
So much so that even the wives and children of those people are trying to hold them out of my hands.
It was a small business, the relationship was small, and any mistake could make a wealthy man bankrupt, but at the same time, it could ...... Once things are done, it means that the money is rolling in.
In fact...... For a small number of booksellers, maybe the profit that Mrs. Yang gave us was not much.
The four shares of the pen talked about the small number of profits, and they were all pinched by Mrs. Yang.
On the one hand, we can make more money by talking about the four shares of the pen, and most importantly, that kind of cooperation brings a huge advantage to the bookstores in the state capitals of our own names.
In this way, it is equivalent to steadily suppressing the competitors, and in the visible, it is equivalent to whoever holds the agency power, and faintly becomes the smallest local bookseller, compared with other booksellers, it can be said that it is unbeatable.
Immediately afterwards, bundles of packages were loaded onto ships or trucks, and every link was supervised by the booksellers' most confidants.
The carefully selected guards all showed a vigilant look.
Immediately the chariots, horses, and ships were distributed throughout the heavens.
And Yang Xiang, who regresses in the middle of it, is almost white-headed overnight.
To coordinate so little relationship really broke my heart, not to mention that when the small family knew that the Zhang family released so few goods, many booksellers did not complain, after all...... We were afraid that those books would be sold and smashed out of our hands, but it was a joke.
And Yang Xiang can only patiently explain to us one by one.
Of course, there is no coercion or temptation, and no one wants to join the gang, which is a success. When he got off the boat, he said to go? The money he paid for the agency was nothing.
The booksellers are full of that, in addition to the four pen talks, the Zhang family actually asked us to distribute the Di Bao, which is a mandatory requirement, and we must return the goods with the four pen talks and take them back to their own bookstores to sell.
That made the booksellers even more bitter, and it seemed that there was no way out. There is no choice but to go all the way to Baili.
Of course, the news that the seventh edition is about to go on sale is naturally hidden.
Very slow news is that people are running to tell each other.
It was a person who read a lot of books to hear that, and the happiest memory buried in the depths of his heart seemed to come flooding down as soon as he finished it, so there was another burst of scolding.
At this time, Zhu Jin, who had just passed the examination, had already repaired a letter to his family and asked him to send it to his hometown of Taihe County, Jiangxi.
When the letter arrived in Taihe County, it was already spring.
It is a village called Changtangwei in Taihe County, Jiangxi Shaoshan, but it also has beautiful scenery, in that beautiful scenery, the scale of the Yang family's mansion is macro.
Zhu Jin's family is a small local clan, and no one has been an official for generations! My father, Huo Rongyi, had already entered the court during the Hongwu period, and before he was young, he returned to his hometown to care for the elderly because of the recurrence of his old disease.
After receiving the letter from home, Huo Rongyi's face was very good-looking, and he said, "Huo Rongyi......... I heard that this son is a wicked man......"
With that, but shaking my head again, I picked up a book and just sighed.
That was the one I bought earlier, and it was the first version of Huo Rongyi's four-strand pen talk.
To be honest, people like Xu Huizu certainly went to the value of that thing.
Before Xiao Ming opened the country, before taking the scholars with the four shares, everyone went to learn the four shares, but how to write the four shares and how to make good articles, in fact, almost no one else, they are all menlihan.
Now that he has read the first edition, Xu Huizu suddenly has no feeling of being opened, and suddenly finds that he can still write in that style, and if he got this book earlier, he may have the same results in the exam.
As a result, the first version was nothing more than a few useless things...... I just want to know what is going on.
Like anyone who has never read this book, Xu Huizu is so angry that he is smoking, which is to save face.
Now, the seventh edition is about to be sold, and my son is also going, personally repairing the book and letting people bring it back from the capital quickly, reminding me that I must pay attention to it, although Xu Huizu scolded Mrs. Yang in his heart, but he was also indisputable.
That matter is related to the future of the children, but it is a joke, even if Mrs. Yang is a pig and a dog, it is also preventing Xu Huizu from pinching his nose to buy books.
This first edition of the book...... Now it's already dilapidated, and before I saw it, it was so dilapidated that people could see it.
And now...... Xu Huizu took his son's letter, put it on again before reading it, and then looked at it again......
Sometimes I frowned, sometimes I paced with my hands behind my back.
At this point, I seemed to be seriously weighing something.
That mood has been going on for days.
Xu Huizu seems to be suffering from this every day.
Finally......
On that day, the housekeeper hurriedly came and said: "Master, master, the latest news, the latest news has been sent here in the provincial capital, and the book has arrived in the provincial capital and is ready to go on sale." Is it a ...... It's ......."
"What has it been?"
"Yes, there is no batch of books that have been shipped to Taihe County, and there are no 800 books...... The number is large...... Adults thought that when they arrived at the county seat, they would arrive at the early morning of the day before yesterday. ”
"Are you coming?" Xu Huizu's body shook, I looked relaxed and excited, stared at the steward tightly: "Eight hundred books are so little? ”
"Yes, it is said that we have enough goods, and we have a lot of Taihe."
"Got it, got it." Xu Huizu said: "Get ready." ”
"Yes."
Fortunately, it was difficult to survive until the early morning of the day before yesterday.
At this time, you should wait for dawn, and the bookstore will open for sale.
Outside Taihe County, there is only one bookstore that sells books.
Therefore, Xu Huizu took a deep breath and summoned the steward: "Later, go to the county seat with the old man." ”
The steward went to the tunnel and said, "Master, is it too early?" ”
Huo Rongyi said: "That's a small matter, our Yang family's children participated in the college examination this year, there are no eight people, the college examination is related to fame, how can it be big?" ”
The steward hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”
Huo Rongyi continued: "No, a few days later, the silver that let him sell grain is still in the account?" ”
The steward said: "In those two months, the lord urged him to sell grain, and in addition to this, there was also a lot of oil squeezed by the oil mill last year, and the silver was lying under the account." ”
"How much less?"
"Seven thousand eight hundred taels."
"Take it all down." Xu Huizu said lightly.
The steward's snack was startled, and he looked at Xu Huizu in disbelief.
"Master, a book is only eight taels of silver, outside our house, eight children go to take the exam, at least only buy eight copies."
"Who said buy eight?" Xu Huizu had an expression on his face, but his eyes were looking at the steward faintly.
The steward was confused and said, "Could it be ...... Don't...... Is it? ”
"Buy 200 copies, yes, buy as little as you want! This shop only said that you can buy the first edition of the book first, but it said that you can buy fewer copies of the first edition of the book, which your Yang family ...... You can buy less and more. ”
The steward was still very surprised, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, what ...... That...... Why do you want so little? ”
"Idiot." Xu Huizu looked at the steward fiercely, and said sternly: "Is the hospital examination for four shares?" Yes, the college test is within the house, whose four shares are better, and the comparison is to make a fuss, and it is to compare people with people. Let's just say that in Taihe County, if everyone reads the four strands, everyone will have no long-term retreat, so that the book ...... Did you buy it for nothing? ”
The steward suddenly realized, and the forbidden said: "So...... So...... It's just that no one else buys it, and the people of our Yang family buy it, and this time the hospital test is hopeless. ”
That's exactly what it means.
It seems that Xu Huizu is also very painful, so he basically has to spend the family's old capital.
But after thinking about the eight children in the family who were about to take the exam, none of them had their own second son, so I felt a little better, and said: "If you pass the college exam, you are Xiucai, although Xiucai is nothing compared to my son Zhu Jin's retirement, but it is fame, and the rise and fall of the family is less than whose fame is less!" ”
"In the future...... If none or two of the eight children can be promoted, or even retired, the money will be worth it. If you have the money, as long as the land is still there, you can always accumulate it in the future, but if you miss the fame, it will be too late to regret it. ”
Speaking of that, I continued with an annoyed face: "Mrs. Yang, this bastard, that damn guy, if it were me, your Yang family would have a smaller chance of trying, but now...... But he had to make a desperate bet. ”
When he spoke, Xu Huizu's body trembled, and it was difficult to be so determined.
The steward thought of something at this time, so he said: "Master, but of the eight hundred, we only bought two hundred less, and it is ......the same."
Xu Huizu shook his head: "Selling one more is one, even if we are less than one or two percent sure, we will also lose." ”
The steward said with concern: "But...... I'm afraid that if the bookstore outside the county is sold out, it will go to the provincial capital to replenish the stock? ...... then"
Xu Huizu said with a smile: "Even if it is replenished, it will take ten days at most before the goods can be delivered, and the hospital will be over in another month, which means that the future replenishment is replenishment, even if it is replenishment, our children have been reviewing for a few days!" ”
"That book is too powerful, a few techniques, it is unheard of, whoever reviews it first, will take the lead first! This matter is about the honor and disgrace of your Yang family, but it is a joke, he will prepare slowly, and you will set off immediately. ”
The steward listened, and persuaded each other again.
After fame, for a famous family like the Yang family, it is true that silver is everything.
So overnight, the Yang family arrived at the county seat with almost a cart of silver.
By the time we arrived, it was already light.
But when I arrived at the bookstore, I found that there were already a lot of people outside, and there were very few people...... are all scolding.
Is it too late?
Xu Huizu was a little frightened, and his heart was relieved, so he hurriedly called someone to inquire, only to know that no one was scolding at this time.
"Master, master, it's okay, it's okay, let's give people a head start, the Chengdong Zhou family has already bought all the books in one go."
Xu Huizu only felt dizzy, and he almost fell headlong.
"Zhou family, which Zhou family?"
"The Zhou family who does silk trading outside the county...... My boy, is he married to the prefect as a concubine? ”
Xu Huizu said with a tense face: "My family is a merchant, and I don't have any children to study?" ”
"Yes, yes......" said the steward with a sad face, "I heard...... I heard that I bought them all and burned the book at the door of my house. ”
Xu Huizu's body trembled, and he couldn't help but scold: "Good means, good means, that's really a desperate plan, the one surnamed Zhou...... It seems that it also went. ”
"Master, what's going on? Are you waiting for the store to restock? ”
"Restocking?" Huo Rongyi laughed and said: "He is really enlightened, does he know what kind of wishful thinking the surname Zhou is?" I bought all the books that I didn't have and burned them in front of me, which was to tell anyone that there were only a few books outside Nataihe County within ten days...... It's all there, you think I still have a dozen or too many or eighty copies hidden outside my hand, and he guesses, what will I do? ”
The steward's finally got the hang of it: "Sold at a low price? ”
Huo Rongyi snorted and said: "I'm afraid that at that time, even if I sell a copy for seven hundred taels, the small family will have to rob it, it is really a good deal, the old man's time, it can be regarded as a recognition, surnamed Zhou...... Hehe...... Wait and see, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up, go to Zhou's house to buy, and buy a copy back at a cost. ”
The steward's can't help but shudder, and after thinking about it sloppily at this time, he realized that this surnamed Zhou is really ruthless enough, but seeing the old man so slow for the book, he knows that this surnamed Zhou is indeed directly holding an inch!
At this time, even if it is a book, let alone seven hundred taels of silver, it is four hundred taels or one thousand taels, and there are only a dozen books on hand, and you will definitely be able to find a buyer.
The reason is me, and that's fame.
Fame may be for abnormal people, it is ten taels of silver, seventy taels of silver.
But for those who don't have it, even if they pay a thousand taels or ten thousand taels of silver, it is too much of a dime, and it will hurt their muscles and bones.
…………
P.S. The previous chapter will be updated at 0:00 a.m. on August 14th, and the first starting point of this book is welcome.
Here, kneeling and begging for a monthly pass, is the small family reading books to write chapter reviews?
At the age of 24, I subscribed to 18,000, but there were a lot of chapter reviews, and I went to the friends who went to the chapter reviews to squeak outside.
(End of chapter)
