Chapter 396: Making Money
The gentlemen in the study building are still the same as the original, and Lintian and Tuofei came to the front with a familiar car.
The gentleman inside saw Lintian coming, his eyes lit up, "Lintian little friend, I haven't seen you for many days, you still return the book on time, presumably you have learned a lot of things in the past month or so, right?
Seeing Mr. Greeting him with some humor, Lintian naturally didn't think much about it, and he Tuofei put down the book in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. said and laughed, before the juniors did not understand the value, these days I have really learned a lot, and thank Mr. for his previous understanding, if it wasn't for Mr. to let us use poems to pay for silver taels, I'm afraid that by now, the juniors will not be able to write so much. ”
For Lintian's modesty, Mr. was very satisfied, and nodded with a smile, "Well, do you still want to borrow so many books today?"
Lintian and Tuofei hurriedly shook their heads, the first time they borrowed a book, the two of them didn't understand anything, in the face of such expensive borrowing fees, even a country's important ministers probably couldn't borrow it continuously, let alone them.
So today, he and Tuofei already have experience, so they won't be as reckless as last time.
"The gentleman said with a smile, the value of the books here, the younger generation is not able to borrow so much, today will be a little less. ”
Mr. nodded, but his eyes narrowed slightly, "Well, don't be greedy for work, you have to take your time, that's right, but the price of borrowing books, hehe, you still have to think about it in advance." ”
Lintian seemed to see the golden ingots flashing in Mr.'s eyes, and then there was a cold sweat in his heart, but he couldn't think of it. The gentleman is also a money-grubbing man.
Subsequently. Lintian and Tuofei entered the study building. Like last time, they were still on the first floor, only this time they chose more carefully, and they didn't choose as many as last time, they each only picked a few books, and they thought that they needed to learn the most, so they returned to the registration office.
This time the two were very sensible and did not borrow much. However, it is obvious that the books in the book building have never been cheap, so even if there are less than ten books, they will cost tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver.
Lintian and Tuofei took the book and walked on the way back, but the two were a little silent, because this time to borrow the book, Tuofei spent the last bit of money he had in his hand, that is, from today. The two of them are probably going to become poor.
Tuofei once said that he would borrow some money from Jinshalu, but Lintian did not agree. It's not that he is embarrassed to borrow money from Jinshalu to read books, it's just that Jinshalu was born in the army, and the family background of the central military commander has always been known for being poor, and Jinshalu is also in the stage of preparing for the palace exam, so Lintian doesn't want to disturb him.
The two of them returned to their lodgings, and instead of immediately starting to study, they sat down together and discussed how to make money, and at this point they both really had a sense of crisis, a sense of crisis as a poor person.
"Brother Lintian, do you have any better ideas? Why don't I go back and ask my father to come over again, it's a big deal that I will make an IOU with him, and I will return it to him later." ”
"No, this can't be, Prime Minister Tuo has always been honest, I think even if he is willing to give it to you, it can't be a long-term solution, think about it, we just have to deal with a lifting exam, it's already so difficult, so what about the future Jinshi, the palace exam? Wouldn't it cost more money, I can't always ask your father, and many times, I can't rely on you all the time." ”
In fact, Lintian has always been a little embarrassed in his heart, because when he came to the capital, whether it was eating, drinking, living or traveling, almost all of them were solved by Tuofei, and Lintian had always been very reluctant in his heart.
It's not that he has an inferiority complex in his heart, it's just that he always has to solve his own problems, and he can't always rely on others, which is not the life that Lintian pursues.
So he had a plan for a long time, and he needed to earn some capital for himself that could support his future studies.
Lintian looked at Tuofei and continued: "It seems that we need to go out and make some money, many times, only by earning money in our own hands can we spend money unscrupulously. ”
Tuofei nodded inexplicably, "What, then do you have any good ideas?"
Lin Tian shook his head, "Not yet, but I think tomorrow the two of us will go out and walk around the outside of the academy to see if there is any way to make money." ”
"How to make money?"
"Well, that's right, it's the way to make money, the book says that everything has its own reason, follow its way, and you can achieve something. Therefore, this is a kind of science, and if you find a way to make money, you won't have to worry about money in the future. ”
Tuofei seems to understand, "Hunger, it seems to make some sense, but how to find a way to make money?"
Lin Tian smiled slightly, "Tomorrow we will go to the market for a walk, maybe we will have an idea, so now, let's read the borrowed books carefully, tomorrow's things, tomorrow's affairs, tomorrow's tomorrow." ”
Tuofei has always believed in Lintian, because he knows that Lintian rarely points out actions for no reason, so tomorrow, just follow him.
Then the two of them didn't say a word, and began to look through the expensive books they borrowed today.
......
The courtyard of Hallym Academy is very large, divided into four houses, southeast, northwest and northwest, and in these four buildings, almost all of them are students of Hallym Academy.
In one room, the dim candlelight flickered again, but it felt a little cold inside, not that the room was not warm enough, but that the people inside were all shining with cold light, which was eerie.
It's been a while since I came to the Hanlin Academy, and the three sons of the Wen family are all very low-key, they don't cause trouble, and they don't have any reputation, except for listening to lectures and studying, there is nothing else.
However, it is obvious that this is only the surface, because it is impossible to make them indifferent to the hatred of Lintian, especially Wen Yong, at this time, his face is even more pale by the candlelight of Hunan.
There were a total of four people in the room, in addition to the three sons of the Wen family, there was actually one person, and this person was also their old acquaintance in Lintian, it was Tian Hong.
I don't know how they got in touch, during the daytime, I didn't see any intersection at all, but tonight, a few people got together.
Tian Hong was a little silent, his eyes revealed coldness, he knew what the reason Wen Yong found him, but he didn't refuse, because he knew. The current self. With this little power alone. It doesn't serve any purpose.
So, the enemy of your enemy is your friend, and that's actually a good thing.
He didn't expect that he would have an alliance so soon, no matter whether the other party was good or bad, anyway, it was conducive to revenge. That's good.
The corners of Wen Yong's mouth raised slightly, I don't know if it was because of frequent vomiting of blood, at this time his feeling was very gloomy and sharp. He took a sip of steaming tea, and then looked at Tian Hong.
"Your affairs, and ours, are already clear, but I don't know, at this time, Brother Tian Hong's decision. ”
Tian Hong looked at Wen Yong, with some doubts in his eyes, "I really want to agree." It's just that I don't understand, why me? Behind you. Who the hell is it?"
Wen Yong restrained his smile and didn't speak, just dipped his hand in tea, and wrote the word 'nine' in the dim candlelight.
"Why do you think we entered the Hanlin Academy? My hatred for Lintian is no less than yours, but killing them is only one of the purposes of the Hanlin Academy, you must know that they are just small people, many things, in the long run, the Hanlin Academy is such a place to train officials, why not attract more people, in the future career, the Nine Kings will be helpful to you." ”
Wen Yong's words, if others came to listen, they would be a little incoherent, but the few people present understood it, and Tian Hong understood even more the significance of Wen Yong and the others coming to the Hanlin Academy.
I don't know how long it has been, Tian Hong's dry voice came out, "Tian Hong is willing to follow, but I will definitely not let go of the family surnamed Tuo!"
"Okay, Brother Tian Hong is wise, but we have to think about it in the long run......"
Xuanjing City, which has not been seen for several days, is still so bustling, with endless crowds, stalls shouting at each other, and busy streets.
Lintian was dressed in white, very elegant, as usual, with half-open wooden eyes, and Tuofei on the side of the street, walking leisurely on the streets of the capital.
In fact, when Lintian came out today, he didn't have any other ideas, he just wanted to think about how to make money in this capital realm, and earn enough money to support his own cultural cultivation!
While walking, I hope in the sky, as if I came to the capital for the first time, everything is very fresh, look at this, look at that.
Tuofei was very puzzled by Lintian's actions, and frowned while looking at him.
"Brother Lintian, you came out early this morning, but you told me what you think, how do I feel that you just came out to shop?"
Lin Tian didn't look back, as if he didn't hear Tuofei's words, he still looked east and west, and suddenly, Lin Tian stopped, raised his hand and touched his stomach, and then looked at Tuofei.
"I'm a little hungry, let's go get something to eat, and talk while we eat. ”
After a while, the two came to a restaurant, which was not a big place, so they found a quiet place, sat down, ordered some random food, and began to eat.
Tuofei took a sip of tea, and then looked at Lintian again, "What kind of medicine did you buy in the gourd? Didn't you say that you came out today to find a way to make money?
Lintian smiled and shook his head slightly, "Not yet, how can it be so easy to make money, I just want to come out and see what I can do." ”
"Do you see that? What can you do?"
"At the moment, it seems that there is nothing that can be done. After eating, we continue to look at this kind of thing, making money, we need to think about it. ”
For Lintian's answer, Tuofei was very distressed, because this feeling of being in the clouds and fog made him feel brain-burning, so he simply didn't ask, thinking, just follow Lintian.
In fact, Lintian himself has no experience in making money at all, and he doesn't have any better ideas, but he has memories of his past life and some experience in ways to make money.
But a lot of times, it doesn't apply to the current world, so he needs to think about it and take a look.
After a meal, the two returned to the street again, to say that the business in the capital is really not the same as what Lin Tian thought in his heart, because he found that many traditional businesses are not very profitable.
But what often makes money is the same as Tuofei said, it is not the land of fireworks, or some noble teahouses and places with some backgrounds, such as the place in front of them.
One of the famous fourth floors in Beijing, the calligraphy and painting workshop.
Painting and calligraphy workshop, a long time ago, Lintian heard Tuofei say, here is a place for writing books and paintings, which are all calligraphy and painting ornaments, but today they came differently.
The bright business here is well known, but behind the calligraphy and painting workshop, there is a strong background, that is, the famous 'Wenbaotang' of Daxuan.
Wenbaotang is very famous in the Great Xuan Kingdom, and it is specially designed to provide some scholars with the four treasures of the study, but this Wenbao is different in the world of Wenxiu.
Generally, there are no characters who have reached this level, but they will not know, and Lintian also went to the Hanlin Academy to know a little bit about it.
Wenbao, in the world of cultural cultivation, is very important, heaven and earth luck, many times, not only people's patents, some heaven and earth materials also have luck, so Wenbao is the ink treasure with luck.
The former 'Sage Paper' is also a kind of paper, but this kind of paper is relatively rare and very precious, and few people take it out to sell.
But the others are different, most of the literary cultivation to the Jinshi and above, will have their own literary treasures, the more common, is the ink pen.
If you can have an ink pen made of the essence of heaven and earth, you can also channel spiritual luck, so as to give a great bonus to the articles written by Wen Xiu, so that in many cases, it can enhance its power.
Wenbao Zhai is the largest auction place in Daxuan, in Cangzhou, Jinyang, Mobei, various places, as long as there is a boundary where Wenxiu gathers, there will be their stores.
And this capital, but did not see, because all the people know that there is a floor in the capital, called the calligraphy and painting workshop, and here, is the face of Wen Bao Zhai.
The door of the calligraphy and painting workshop is very large, and it is always open, and before you enter it, you can smell the smell of poetry and painting coming from inside.
Lintian and Tuofei walked in, the hall inside is very large, all around are hung with calligraphy and paintings, many styles and color pictures are exactly the same, it can be seen that this is mass production.
In the words of Lintian's memory, these things are called handicrafts.
The middle of the balcony is hollowed out, leading directly to the upstairs, looking up, there are many compartments above, and in each room, there are all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, even embroidery.
Many guests inside have gone to different compartments to choose their favorite styles and some novelties.
Walking through the hall, you can see that behind the balcony, there is a large courtyard, which is separated in the middle, and many people in the courtyard are constantly doing these things.
Lin Tian saw that these people were all people who had read books and used ink pens, and what they were doing was copying.
Every work in the calligraphy and painting workshop is produced by these people who are constantly copying and copying.
Lin Tian and Tuofei kept watching, but they were not interested in these copied works, because they were Wenxiu themselves, and they were no longer interested in these things that did not have any luck.
After a while, a person walked out of it, and seeing that he was dressed should be a person from the calligraphy and painting workshop, this person came to the front of the two of you and Tuofei in the sky, and arched his hand.
"The two sons, it's the first time to come, do you have something you like? ”
Lintian nodded and didn't speak, Tuofei had some questions.
"How can your calligraphy and painting workshop be regarded as the fourth floor of the capital, the place where the calligraphy and paintings are transported to the imperial palace, is there only these copied things?"
"I don't know what kind of things Childe likes? Although we have copied them here, there are also a lot of good things. The man stretched out his finger and pointed.
"Here is a copy of the saint's book, and this picture, but the invited Hanlin bachelor copied the 'autumn frost map', this is the 'hunting beast picture', although there is no luck in the work, but it is also still a view, by the way, we also have a folding fan copied by the saint himself, the son is extraordinary, and it must be chic to use!"
At this time, the people in the calligraphy and painting workshop began to talk about sales, but Lintian himself was not interested in these, because his purpose was to go to the back of the calligraphy and painting workshop, Wen Bao Zhai to see and understand.
And the other one, the son of the prime minister, how could he have taken a fancy to these things? So basically, neither of them listened to what the man said.
After a while, Tuofei was a little impatient, stretched out his hand, stopped the man's sales, and then lowered his head and whispered:
"Man, we're not here to see this, let's take a walk around our inner courtyard, we want to come and see Wenbao. ”
As he spoke, Tuofei took out the identity token of the students of the Hanlin Academy...... (To be continued.) )
