In fact, similar business groups have appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as the chambers of commerce of Jin merchants and Hui merchants, merchants in the same place form chambers of commerce, pay membership dues, and can get internal goods at a lower price than outsiders, and at the same time can share business information and resources.

But Shen Liang wants more, now the livelihood of the Great Zhou Dynasty is withering, only commerce is still developed and prosperous, in the south, there has even been a bud of capitalism, some capital is seeking profit, and is also seeking greater living space.

Therefore, Shen Liang agreed to meet this businessman from Yangzhou, he was like a little bit of a broken face, first set up with Shen Xueyan, and then slowly gained a foothold in Jiangnan through commodities.

He is not arrogant enough to be tough with Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji in Shenjing City, with his current situation, he will save his life first, as long as the situation is not right, he will immediately run away with his family.

After listening to Shen Xueyan's words, Shen Liang smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Shen, the meal has to be eaten in one bite, Ruth has to take it step by step, the step is big, and it is easy to pull the egg."

Although Yuxiang Bookstore is small, it is highly profitable, and you don't think that our Yuxiang Bookstore only has the book "Journey to the West", right? ”

Shen Xueyan is a bookseller, and he is eager for good books, "Childe, do you have a new work here?" Can you give a sneak peek at the next? ”

A good book in a bookstore can last a lifetime, and if there are two best-selling books, it can be used as a family heirloom.

However, the copyright awareness in ancient times was not strong, the cost of piracy and imitation was extremely low, and it was impossible for a book to eat for a lifetime, so there were many writers in ancient times, but if a bookstore wanted to develop for a long time, it must be supported by one or two strong writers.

"Journey to the West" can definitely be worthy of the treasure of the town, but Shen Xueyan does not believe that after writing "Journey to the West", a person can still create a work that is better or equivalent than "Journey to the West".

is as talented as Cao Xueqin, and she has written a book of "Dream of Red Mansions" in her life, reviewed it for ten years, and added and deleted it five times, so Cao Gong's "Dream of Red Mansions" is worth chewing repeatedly, and every time you read it, you have a new harvest, this is a book that is enough to read for a lifetime.

And some small H books, at first glance I feel very exciting, but after reading one or two times, I will eat tasteless, and the taste is the same as chewing wax.

Some online articles in later generations felt spicy when I read them for the first time, and I was about to vomit when I read them the second time.

Shen Liang smiled but didn't answer, the attacker on the side couldn't hold back, and said arrogantly: "Shopkeeper Shen, you haven't heard of "Linjiang Immortal", right?" ”

"Linjiang Immortal"? Could it be that the rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the heroes, and the success or failure of right and wrong is empty? Shen Xueyan patted his head and asked, "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname Gao?" ”

The attacker's chin raised: "My son-in-law is Jia Zhong'an, the descendant of Rong Guogong." ”

"It turned out to be Jia Gongzi, who was known as Xiao Suxian, please forgive me for being rude and rude." Shen Xueyan said with a smile.

For those who have real talent and learning, the ancients always respected them from the bottom of their hearts.

Shen Liang didn't know when he got the name of "Little Su Xian", Su Xian knew that it was the nickname of the great writer Su Shi, but he didn't expect that he would be able to hug Su Dongpo's thigh one day.

Shen Liang had no choice but to return the salute: "A little false name, not enough to worry about, since you have heard of "Linjiang Immortal", the next book that our bookstore will promote is related to this poem." ”

Shen Xueyan is a little fan at the moment, eager to know the new work of his idol.

Shen Liang sold a pass: "Shopkeeper Shen is erudite and talented, you might as well guess what kind of novel it is." ”

Shen Xueyan scratched his head and said uncertainly: "Could it be related to the Three Kingdoms period?" ”

Smack-Shen Liang snapped his fingers, "Shopkeeper Shen answered correctly, but there is no reward, and the next book is called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Shen Xueyan was surprised and asked him, "But there is already a history book "Three Kingdoms", which is also wonderful, is the son confident that he can surpass this book?" ”

Shen Liang waved his hand to interrupt him and said, ""Three Kingdoms" is also an adapted history, who said that what is written on it must be all right? Even when Ma Qian of Taishi Company wrote "Historical Records", it was inevitable that he had selfish intentions. When our descendants look at history, it's just a lively look, can we really learn a lesson from history? ”

Shen Xueyan had a different opinion on this sentence, "But Tang Taizong said that the husband can be dressed properly with copper as a mirror; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses.

When we read history books, don't we just want to learn from the experiences and lessons of our predecessors, and then correct them? ”

His words were also approved by the attacker, and Shen Liang felt funny when he looked at his little maid nodding desperately.

This is the habitual thinking of ordinary people, who feel that if they have seen others make mistakes, they will never repeat the mistakes of the past, which is a natural belief that they are smarter than the ancients.

Shen Liang smiled: "If you think like this, then it is smiling and generous." ”

Shen Xueyan was not convinced, there is a kind of posture that don't think that you are my idol, you can say black as white.

Shen Liang felt that Shen Xueyan was very angry, so he said a few more words: "Let's not talk about it from afar, just take the current situation as an example, is there no dynasty in history that is poor and weak, and strong enemies are around?" Is there anything to learn from their experience? ”

Listening to Shen Liang's words, Shen Xueyan fell into deep thought.

Don't say it, the current Great Zhou Dynasty is very similar to his brother and brother of the Northern Song Dynasty, they are also commercially and culturally developed, and the country looks quite strong, but there is a rising nomadic people in the north.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was like a huge, overweight giant, and the nomads would rush up from time to time and tear off the flesh of the giant like a hungry wolf, which was not fatal, but it made the giant lose face.

The key is that this giant is still sick, what high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, in short, it looks very scary, but he is already terminally ill inside, and he will die suddenly at any time.

Shen Xueyan frowned, he had a lot of thoughts, and said: "The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty boils down to the fact that the emperor is mediocre and traitorous ministers are in charge, if it weren't for the second emperor of Huiqin who listened to the villain's slanderous ......" Speaking of this, Shen Xueyan suddenly stopped talking.

He felt that if he continued to talk about it, he would probably affect his family.

Shen Liang laughed, patted Shen Xueyan on the shoulder and said: "Shen Shopkeeper is quick to talk, which shows that he is a person in temperament, didn't he just summarize a sentence, the only lesson that human beings learn from history is that human beings can't learn any lessons, what do you think of this sentence?" ”

"The only lesson humanity can learn from history is that humanity learns nothing?" Shen Xueyan savored this sentence carefully, and then thought of the history books he read, he felt as if he had touched a realm that he had never thought of before.

After a long time, Shen Xueyan said deeply: "Childe is talented, Shen admires it so much. ”

He looked at Shen Liang's eyes with more and more reverence, and asked, "Then, according to the child's opinion, how should the Great Zhou Dynasty change in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Song Dynasty?" ”

Shen Liang changed the topic: "Let's talk about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

Just kidding, you are a bookseller who also wants to understand the strategy of governing the country, but your brain is in water, and it is simply not a proper job!

In the end, under the encouragement of Shen Liang's incorruptible tongue, Shen Xueyan agreed to cooperate by becoming a shareholder, but Shen Xueyan was not a brainless fan, he only invested 1,000 taels to invest in Sun Moon Trading Company.

And it was stated in the contract that this trading company was only related to Shen Xueyan and had nothing to do with their Shen family's study.

After negotiating the business, Shen Liang asked Hua Zifang to arrange for Shen Xueyan and a few people to eat, drink and have fun in the capital.

Hua Zifang is now a veteran of the wine field, and the bosses of several major study rooms in the capital have invited him to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but Hua Zifang sticks to the bottom line, eats and drinks without refusing, and says that he is not sharing the sky with gambling.

The attacker glanced at Shen Liang and said, "My brother is such an honest person, he has been spoiled by you, let him eat and drink with those old fritters all day long, what if he gets a dirty disease?" ”

Shen Liang grabbed his big hand, exclaimed, sat down, Shen Liang took a deep breath in the shoulder socket, only to feel the milky fragrance: "I can't pit my uncle and brother, let him entertain, that is to open his eyes and gain a long insight, this business is just like officialdom."

You need connections, and you also need the ability to deal with people, otherwise you will only give orders, and as the days go by, how can the people under your hands obey you? ”
