After a pause in the run on Ji's bank, it revived.

As the silver in the treasury gradually decreased, Ji Wuyin was rarely anxious.

The money placed in the middle of the lobby of the bank cannot be moved, and if it moves, it may cause a greater run on the crisis.

Damn, Ji's Qianzhuang, he put a total of nearly 2.8 million cash silver, thinking that it was enough to deal with all the large and small runs.

This amount of cash is almost equivalent to the entire household assets of one of Liu Zhang's two families.

How did he know that the south was in chaos, and five of the six great families came to withdraw money, which made him tired of coping.

Now, the Ji family can't squeeze out a tael of silver at present, and he has to think about what to do.

"Don't panic, hold on, it's time for us to make a move." Xue Xu comforted him.

Ji Wuyin held on for such a long time, restraining Xie Zhan's energy and winning them time for lewd development.

Zhou Jing is a scholar in the south, and his family is moderate.

Recently, Nandi has been in chaos because of the chaos of the six major families.

He was confused about how things developed. I only know that it was originally because of the flash flood on Pilgrim Street in Fuxian Temple, Lu Xihua, the eldest of the Lu family, locked the front and back doors of Pilgrim Street, which eventually led to the death of nearly 30 people in the Chen family, including the head of the Chen family and many clansmen.

Mrs. Chen went to the yamen to beat the drum and voice her grievances, and in tears she accused Lu Xihua of his crimes.

Murder pays for life, not to mention that so many people died in the Chen family. At this time, if the Lu family handed over Lu Xihua at this time, there would be nothing to do.

The actions of the head of the Lu family are really infuriating, he even openly shields his own son! As a result, public opinion was in an uproar. He said that his son was going to catch the adulterer, and he didn't lock the door for the Chen family.

asked him whose traitor he caught, and the Lu family kept silent, how could they not make the bystanders angry?

Even if he, Lu Xihua, went to catch the traitor, but it wasn't his lock, was it because of his actions that twenty or thirty members of the Chen family were trapped in it when the flash flood came, and there was no way to escape?

Lu Xihua is innocent!

Now it's just for him to let Lu Xihua lose his life alone, and the Lu family won't allow it.

The Lu family's blatant disregard for human life and disregard for the royal law really made the reader feel uncomfortable.

So they boycotted the Lu family's industry, especially the Lu family's bookstore, and did not buy the books of the Lu family's bookstore, nor did they buy their pen, ink, paper, and inkstone......

turned to support the Chen family's industry, the Chen family is too pitiful.

Zhou Jing and these scholars didn't know that it was because of their support that the Chen family and the Lu family were on a par.

The Chen family swelled because of this, dizzy, and was led astray.

By this time, the Chen family was already riding a tiger, unless they could defeat the Lu family and swallow its resources.

At this time, the Lu family was the same.

Having said that, Zhou Jing has been paying attention to the movements of the yamen. But now that a while has passed, Lu Xihua is still in prison and has not been punished as he deserves.

It's just infuriating!

It's just that they rely on the Lu family's bookstore quite deeply. For example, now, he has run out of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.

And for readers, books are their spiritual food, and it is okay to lack one in a short time, but it is not okay to lack it for a long time.

One thing to say, the Lu family's books, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are still of great quality.

There are also other bookstores in Nandi, but the quality is comparable, and the price is higher than that of the Lu family's bookstore, and the price is comparable, and the quality is not as good as the Lu family.

Moreover, the Lu family, as a scholarly family in the south, will also release some unique copies and rubbings from time to time, which is deeply loved by readers.

It can be said that many scholars in the south were loyal fans of the Lu family's bookstore before.

"What now?" Zhou Jing said to himself, are they going to pinch their noses and admit it? This is too spineless!

You must know that at the beginning of this boycott, a brother Tai once heard the shopkeeper of the Lu family's bookstore say in a disdainful tone, leave them alone, what can these scholars do? They can't do without the Lu family's bookstore.

If he stepped into Lu's bookstore again, wouldn't he be in response to what others said?

The readers sighed.

It was at this time that the bookstore of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce opened.

In Panyu, the central city of Nandi, in the four urban districts of the southeast, northwest and northwest, there is a Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bookstore on the side or opposite the mainland bookstore.

On the opening day, the sound of crackling firecrackers and the lion dance team were very lively.

Such a lively scene has also attracted everyone's attention, and the current situation in Nandi, as well as the opening of new shops, has to make people sigh, it is really bold.

Zhou Jing also noticed the newly opened store, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a bookstore.

On both sides of the gate, there is an inscription, and on the right side is written: "Do you want to become a human master?" Let's read a book! Knowledge allows you to cross classes! ”

What a big breath!

Before Zhou Jing stepped into the bookstore, he glanced at the left side, and saw that the six words 'Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Bookstore' were written on the lintel on the left side from top to bottom, and there was a line of small words on the side: Nandi Panyu Dongcheng Store.

In fact, such eye-catching promotional words are also available in three other stores.

For example, the Xicheng store is: Do you want to change your fate? Let's read a book! Knowledge allows you to change your destiny!

As the saying goes, learn to become a martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family. Scholars are high-faced, but it is undeniable that who doesn't go for such a purpose in their hearts? It's just that the propaganda words used by the bookstore of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce are more explicit.

Think the propaganda words of the East City and West City bookstores are too utilitarian?

This problem has also been taken into account by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, so let's give you something elegant!

Let's look at Nancheng: It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. Body and mind, there must be one on the way.

Finally, Beicheng's: The biggest advantage of reading books is to get rid of mediocrity, one day earlier to have more wonderful life, and one day later to have more mediocrity.

Anyway, the layout of the four bookstores is roughly the same, the books inside are all the same, and the four treasures of the study are basically the same.

After Zhou Jing walked into the door, he found that this bookstore was very large, with a unified light log book-style decoration style, and bookshelves were placed against the walls on three sides, and there were books on the shelves. In the middle of the bookstore, there are three large and two small tables, on which are placed the four treasures of the study such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and there are also two stacks of paper, and the names 'jute paper' and 'snow paper' are written on the sides of the paper.

The other two tables are equipped with chairs, taking up half of the space in the bookstore.

"What is this for?"

On the first day of opening, Wu Ren happened to visit the store, and when he heard his question, he replied with a smile, "These tables and chairs are for you, you can rest and read in the store." ”

So good? "Do you collect money?" Zhou Jing asked.

"No."

"Any requirements?" Zhou Jing looked around, and there was room for twenty people sitting and reading books around these two tables.

"There is indeed a request."

Zhou Jing understood, "Please speak." ”

"If you are reading in a bookstore, try to be quiet, and don't be noisy and disturb others."

Hearing this answer, Zhou Jing was stunned.

Wu Ren nodded at him and went to get busy.

Zhou Jing took a book that he was interested in, opened the book, and found that the paper of these books was snow-white and the handwriting was neat, but it didn't seem to be like Lu's bookstore that sold hand-copied editions.

Suddenly, the brother next to him exclaimed, "The handwriting of these two books is exactly the same!" ”

This-——, how did the bookstore of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce do it? You know, even if the same person copies the same book twice, there will be subtle differences in the handwriting both times.

Zhou Jing wanted to ask the price of the book in his hand, but he looked left and right, and didn't find the little brother who was talking to him just now, so he took the book and went to the counter.

Zhou Jing found that the brother standing in front of him was a classmate from the same academy as him, but the two didn't know each other, they just knew each other.

I saw his classmate ask the guy at the counter, "How do you sell this book?" ”

Wu Ren went to the warehouse at this time, and at this time the guard at the counter was Yang Tao, who was from Tianshui New Village and was the nephew of Yang Wei Yang's head dart.

Yang Tao glanced at the book cover and quoted a price, "Two hundred wen a piece." ”

"Say it again, how much?" The scholars who asked the price couldn't believe the price they heard.

Zhou Jing also stretched out his head and glanced at the cover of the book, he recognized it, the price of this book, in Lu's bookstore, is 500 wen!

Yang Tao frowned: "It's this price a few times!" This book is relatively thick, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and material-intensive! No bargaining! ”

Zhou Jing was silent, where did the fool come from? Forget it, it's right at this price, and it's right not to bargain.

He asked, "Little Er, what about this one?" ”

"Three hundred wen!"

As soon as Zhou Jing spoke, the classmates in front turned around.

He and his classmates glanced at each other in accord and began to choose books in front of the bookshelf.

Look, what good things did he find? He found several unique manuscripts in this bookstore! Even though it's just a manuscript and not an authentic copy, it's worth buying and perusing it, right?

Because of such a unique book, the Lu family has a treasure, but it is difficult for them to borrow it to read.

If you ask the price again, it's as cheap as picking it up for nothing!

So, these people began to rob crazy!

Wu Ren maintained order on the side, "You don't have to rob, you don't have to rob, we have enough inventory, so you won't be unable to buy your favorite books!" ”

Zhou Jing noticed that it seemed to be the case, every time they bought a short book, the junior in the bookstore would immediately make up for it.

So he was relieved and didn't grab it, he came to the counter with the six books he had picked out, waiting to check out and go home.

Wu Ren helped him calculate the price.

While waiting, Zhou Jing happened to see the paper on the side.

So he asked, "Shopkeeper, this paper is not silver paper, is it?" ”

Wu Ren said with a smile, "The paper in our store is called Xueguang Paper, the quality is very good, it does not lose the silver paper, I don't believe you can touch it." ”

Zhou Jing touched it and felt that the quality of this paper was really good, so he asked, "How to sell this paper?" ”

"One knife and twenty wen."

Hearing this, Zhou Jing's eyes widened, what, paper is so cheap? Obviously, the quality of this paper is not inferior to silver paper, but the price is only half of silver paper!

"Can you make money like this?" Zhou Jing couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't they really lose to their grandmother's family?

When they bought books and paper in Lu's bookstore before, some of them were poor and wanted to make the shopkeeper cheaper, but the shopkeeper also cried poverty with them in turn, saying that the Lu family's silver light paper was sold at that price, and it didn't make money at all.

Wu Ren smiled, "I won't lose, but I just earn less." Do you want to go with a knife? ”

"Come, must come!" Zhou Jing couldn't help it, "Your bookstore, everything is cheap, why is this?" ”

Wu Ren brought him a piece of paper, and without raising his head, he only said, "Knowledge should be free." Only by being free will knowledge be disseminated and exchanged to the greatest extent possible, and will it be better improved. In this world, more talents will emerge. ”

This is what his master once said, and he remembered it at once.

"It's a pity that we can't do it for free at the moment, we can only make it cheaper. Hopefully, more people will be exposed to more knowledge as a result. ”

This sentence, in this era, is very shocking.

Zhou Jing didn't come back to his senses for a long time at this time.

A similar situation has occurred in the other three bookstores.

It can be said that as soon as the bookstore of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce opened, it became an instant hit and attracted the favor of a large number of readers in the south.
