Carefully identifying the direction, Shen Qi found that the voice came from the county school, presumably this little poem came from the county government, and the people who could enter the county school were all people who had obtained the identity of children, and they in turn studied Shen Qi, a master work of a private school student who had not yet participated in the government examination, which was the first time it happened.

Speaking of which, Shen Qi hasn't gone to the private school in Xianghua Township for some time, and now he can study on his own, while Li Guangdi has left the private school a few years ago and works hard at home.

Chen Tianbao also heard the sound of reading from the county school, and listened carefully with Shen Qi, still feeling a little aftertaste.

"The people of Changting are independent. ”

"The cloudy wine laughs at itself. ”

"Little late summer rain. ”

"Occasionally, old people come. ”

......

The neat sound of reading repeated this "Summer" over and over again, and Shen Qi shook his head and smiled after listening to it a few times:

"The world blindly follows this poem, which is really a big fuss, and I don't think this poem is good enough to enter the school. ”

Chen Tianbao was surprised when he heard Shen Qi say this, he had never seen anyone say this about himself, and he knew what a rare opportunity to let his poems spread.

"Shen Qi Xiaoyou's words are scary enough, this summer quatrain is not qualified to enter the school, are you too demanding of yourself?"

Chen Tianbao has also read a lot of books, so he knows the subtleties of this poem.

At this time, Shen Qi didn't say anything, and walked into the store that was in urgent need of sale with Chen Tianbao, he looked around the hall, and then asked:

"Master Chen, what do you plan to do in this Shengda Bookstore?"

Before Chen Tianbao thought about it, he took out 10,000 taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Shen Qi and said:

"I don't know much about the bookstore, this is 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and I will give you full authority to deal with it, but I hope you can turn your losses into profits within two years, and in terms of treatment, I will divide the entire Shengda bookstore into half of you, the more you earn, the more dividends you will naturally have." ”

Chen Tianbao gave Shen Qi half of the equity of Shengda Bookstore, but in terms of income, it may be about the same as the treatment payable to Shen Qi.

"Then thank you Chen Zhuang, I hope that this 10,000 taels of silver tickets will not be wasted in my hands. ”

Shen Qi smiled and took the 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and began to think about how to prepare for Shengda Bookstore.

"Master, someone from Qianzhuang in Quanzhou is here, do you want to meet him?"

Just as Shen Qi was deep in thought, the Qin housekeeper outside got the news and hurriedly walked in to tell Chen Tianbao that the person who came was someone from the Quanzhou headquarters of Shengda Bookstore, and the silver taels that were robbed by Qi Changqing last time were transported from them, totaling 50,000 taels of silver.

Chen Tianbao knew that he had come to learn about the silver two, and considered that the Quanzhou headquarters was extremely important, so he planned to meet the visitor in person.

"Shen Qi Xiaoyou, this is a contract about you and me cooperating to open Shengda Bookstore, you can take a look at it and confirm that it is correct, just press a handprint. ”

Before leaving, Chen Tianbao took out a stack of contracts and ink clay that had been prepared from his arms, Shen Qi knew that he was in trouble, and after reading it, he pressed his handprint and sent him away.

Since he is preparing to open a bookstore, he must do his best, Shen Qi looked at the huge store and thought that he must recruit a group of helpers first, otherwise it will be difficult to start a bookstore.

The shop has two floors, the first floor is divided into the front and back, and it is a good place to start a bookstore. He found a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone left by the previous shopkeeper in a study in the backyard, and prepared to write a job posting, which should soon attract people by posting it on the door.

Before starting to write the content, Shen Qi recalled his understanding of the bookstore.

The first point is that the bookstore in ancient times adopted the model of the front store and the back factory, and the bookstore was not only a bookstore, but also a publishing house, and a printing house, which was similar to the vertical integration used by enterprises in later generations.

The second point is that the bookstore of the Ming and Qing dynasties has attached great importance to the production of covers, paid attention to the brand effect of the bookstore, and the selling points of the covers produced are prominent, not inferior to later generations, and even the door of the bookstore has been popular to post tall posters to attract customers.

The third point is that the Ming and Qing Dynasty bookstores have used the inner pages of books to promote the new books of the same bookstore, and the propaganda slogans are the same as the slogans on the cover posters, which will sell themselves and boast unreservedly. In addition, best-selling novels must be illustrated for the best reading effect.

The bookstores of the Ming and Qing dynasties were in many ways the same as those of later generations, and here are only a few of them, and the ideas used by bookstores and publishing houses in later generations have already been used by the ancients.

Shen Qi went through all kinds of information about the bookstore, and counted the people who had to be recruited, including writers, engravers, printers, and bookbinders.

Due to the prosperity of the bookstore, some families specialized in these processes, which were passed down from generation to generation, with the highest level of engraving technology.

So he wrote on the recruitment notice: Shengda Bookstore is about to open, recruiting excellent engraving and engraving workers, and the salary is high. In addition, excellent writers, printers, and bookbinders are recruited, and the treatment is preferential.

As soon as this notice was posted outside, many passers-by gathered around, and many of them were willing to work as writers, printers, and bookbinders, but no one volunteered to apply for the carver.

"Shopkeeper Shen, he is not talented, but he is a child, and his conceited calligraphy is okay, so he wants to try to apply for a writer. ”

At this time, Shen Qi brought a long table to block the gate, put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it, and a gray-robed scholar in his twenties walked up with a folding fan, giving people a sense of pretentiousness.

"Okay, and write a line of small block letters in black for me to see. ”

Shen Qi did not refuse, handed over the pen and ink, and saw that there were a few people behind him who said that they wanted to apply for printers and bookbinders, and at the same time, there were bold and greedy people who tried to take advantage of Shen Qi's inattention to snatch away the recruitment notice posted at the door. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't tear off this thin piece of paper, which caused everyone around him to laugh.

After a short time, the gray-robed scholar stopped writing on a blank piece of paper, and a line of extremely small italics appeared, which was a five-character quatrain.

Shen Qi turned the paper from his hand and found that what he wrote was his own summer quatrain, thinking that he, like everyone else, had already known this poem by heart, and he should be suspected of slapping horses with this move, and he was a clever person.

Shen Qi didn't care about it, and after reading his handwriting, he shook his head with some disappointment and said:

The words are also round, but the pen power floats, giving people the feeling that they have not yet entered the stream. ”

When the gray-robed scholar who was looking forward to it heard this, he looked at Shen Qi in a daze, and the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground with a click, obviously quite shocked.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I know that you have been in the limelight recently, but you shouldn't be so arrogant, why do you say that I haven't entered the stream?"

The gray-robed scholar was unwilling, and actually argued with Shen Qi on the spot, and after a sentence, he was already red-faced, as if he wanted to be unforgiving. ps: Yesterday's wind and rain were fierce, and a thunderbolt split the high-voltage line, resulting in the code word update late at night today, I'm really sorry.
