Chapter 111 Grand Blueprint
The Xixiaoshi Shanhai Bookstore store integrates bookstores, workshops, stables, and literati and doctors' amusement place. It is divided into three entrances, three rooms, sizes and decorations. None of them violates the court's etiquette regulations and looks low-key and mysterious.
The famous people with household registration in the store are Luo Gaocai, Zheng Yeliao, and Mrs. Xing in the deep courtyard have heard of it, but they don’t know that Jia Cong is the backbone. Dashun’s honors almost never went out to do business in person. They were all slaves and distant relatives, and they controlled them from behind.
It is this small bookstore that has become famous in Xixiao City because they were the first to publish the works of Jia Cong, the No. 1 prodigy of Dashun, and the collection of essays.
Famous and famous scholars are destined to be popular for review. Jia Cong, the winner of Wanping’s Little Sanyuan, must be learned and observed. Of course, the review must also be accurate, distinctive, and sharp, and serve as a guiding role. Otherwise, it will not be easy to sell, and instead gain your reputation and will not be easy in any industry.
Jia Cong started to review the articles of time since the June college entrance examination. He selected the articles of the candidates who were excellent or failed every now and then pointed out the reasons, gathered them into a collection, and published the list, called "Jia Zili's Evaluation of Eight-Legends".
Shaking and sipping a sip of tea, after dozens of comments, Jia Cong did eye exercises, and pushed the window to look at Xixiao City. Shanhai Bookstore is located in the northwest of the intersection, not very close to Xuanwu Gate, but to the north you can see the city cave, the gatekeepers and soldiers, and the crowded vegetable market. There are also four archways in Xixiao City, which are on the south side, opposite the Dongsi archway, with four pillars and three brackets, slanting pillars, and dark brown paint.
I have inspected printing workshops and bought paper in bookstores from other stores. Papermaking and printing are one of China's four major inventions, but their real explosiveness has had too little impact on the country. The four major inventions were used in Western Europe instead... After the Middle Ages, did China in this time and space still go from leading to backward?
The fat man Zheng Yeliao went upstairs, wearing a man's outfit, with her eyebrows standing up: "Young master, good news, this time the article is indeed easier to sell than other books! In just one month, he sold thousands of books, and how much money each one made, and we also made thousands of taels, but the young master read it faster..."
During the prosperous period of the imperial examination system, it was hundreds of years and thousands of miles in a radius. The whole society was proud of it. As long as it is a scholar with financial ability, it is necessary to successfully observe the writing of time. Secondly, the writing of time is worthy of its reputation, timeliness and speed, and there is competition in this industry, and it must be faster, faster and better than its peers.
Only then did Zheng Yeliao truly realize that it was not difficult to make money by a celebrity like Jia Cong, but he was so devoted and had no complaints.
"I have never done business, but I can see the income and payment comparison. I also know that small profits and quick turnover are the fundamentals." Jia Cong also said happily: "By the way, how much money do you have to go through to trafficking books from Jiangnan? How many people do you have to do with your posts under your post?"
"My Dashun Chaoguan includes Beixin (Hangzhou), Hushu (Suzhou), Yangzhou, Huai'an, Jiujiang, Linqing, Hexiwu... If you return from Zhejiang, you have to go through about ten Chaoguans. The garrisons of Chaoguan have the practice of adding charges to the government's regulations, but if you are an old acquaintance, you can discuss it..."
"The Grand Canal boat trip is much faster than land. It is no problem to travel three or four hundred miles a day. We have only a hundred people at present, and we can't afford to support many. What should you do?" Zheng Yeliao said vigilantly.
There are many business opportunities and profits here! When you arrive in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you can buy some folk silk, porcelain, and local specialties at all! The commodity economy has flourished in the Ming Dynasty! Although silk, salt and iron are official monopoly, merchants are still profitable, and they mistakenly lock in the country! They are arrogant! Lake silk, porcelain, Songjiang cotton cloth, white silver, and amazing profits have made most of the profits from Western maritime merchants!
When Zheng He voyages to the West, China's fleet was the world's leading one. At that time, Spain was still in the exploratory stage! In the 16th and 17th centuries, Da Gama and Columbus completed their voyages. First, technological progress was made, and second, the support of the Western government. However, the merchants in the Ming and Qing dynasties in China had almost no political power, and the government's conservative and stubbornness was sad!
This kind of arrogance and superiority will only be opened by someone for one day. Since the Warring States Period, after Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Japan was probably the period of Tokugawa Shogunate, and they were also closed to the country. However, the Japanese's ability to learn and learn is too strong.
"Although there are few people, you can go to Zhejiang and Fujian and Guangdong. Bookstores don't have to be stingy. You can afford to use ice-cold lychees and longans in Lingnan are also profitable. They are ice-cold and maintained. It is no problem to travel three or four hundred miles a day. Once you have too much money, let's open a branch and increase the scale. Let's ask the brothers of Yichuan to go to Lingnan, not just for lychees and longans. Ask them to go to Haojing (Macao) to see where to make money from Westerners, the biggest one." Jia Cong's eyes showed strong ambitions.
The idea is good. As a native of Wenzhou, Zheng Yeliao knew something and said worriedly: "The mountain owners in Lingnan and the lorry owners are mostly full. They are afraid that they are unwilling to intervene and get a share of the pie."
The local capitalists in Lingnan are called Shanzhu, and foreign capitalists are called Laozhu. Foreign ones include Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants, so there must be backstage. Jia Cong smiled slightly: "I know, ask brothers to go and explore the situation first. If you want to compete in the backstage, can't I fight with them within three years? You collect information first, and at that time, we can also increase the manpower... When this young master holds the weight, opens a sea to trade, and has a ship, what is this small bookstore?"
This piece of cake made Zheng Yeliao's eyes shine. Of course, this idea is still far away and difficult. What Jia Cong can do now is to organize the book club and first develop certain forces in China.
As early as the late Ming Dynasty, there were 20,000 Chinese in Manila, Philippines, but they were brutally killed by the West! Fujian officials forgave this killing! During the Ming Dynasty, Lin Feng was a successful maritime merchant in Southeast Asia, but they joined forces with foreigners to kill! Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the "Qing Dynasty", they all care about the lives and death of the Chinese! This group of stubborn conservatives!

Jia Yun drove to deliver dates, pears, apricots, peaches, apples, hazelnuts, chestnuts, pine nuts, treya nuts, and cabbage.
The wealthy businessmen in the capital had a warm cellar that could cultivate fruits and vegetables that were not in line with the season. The Northern Wei Dynasty Jia Siyi did not mention cabbage in "Qimin Yaoshu". After the Yuan and Ming dynasties, cabbage almost became a common main dish, including dried arrows, dried white, sapphire, short green, black sapphire, sapphire, and sapphire cabbage, which can be grown in all seasons.
Shanhai Bookstore is getting higher and higher, and is gradually providing all-round and three-dimensional services. People who come here to read, taste paintings, and play chess feel that it is a kind of enjoyment and their reputation is getting better and better.
The bookstore held regular gatherings, and Jia Yun did not stop for much. After collecting the money, he left with the transporter. He entered the left room on the second day. Wang Yinglin, Kuang Liuhe, and Zhang Maocai came. Wang Yinglin drafted the charter: "Zi Li, the Shanhai Alliance's covenant was not only the two 'plans for the people and the achievements' you mentioned, should we add more?"
"You are the deputy alliance. These two points are the core for the time being and will not be modified. I think no one should refute it. For the people, living for the people is also for the achievements. Benefiting others and self-interest, and having a clear distinction between cause and effect is the best strategy. As for the rules and regulations of the Shanhai Alliance, you can slowly increase and decrease and modify them. As the number of people increases, you can make plans." Jia Cong said.
"The scientific examination is imminent, Zili is ready to leave." Kuang Liuhe kindly reminded him, after a while, when the two of them went out, Wang Yinglin said tactfully: "It is our request to establish words, meritoriousness, and morality. Zili, I heard that there was a young lady in the Qin family who used to be your niece-in-law. Li Zhi's previous lessons are not far away. Zili must not go astray..."
Li Zhi was regarded as one of the aliens in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, he had a heart-to-heart relationship with a daughter-in-law in Hu Guangmacheng. He tasted literature, felt emotional, stopped rituals, and wrote poems. However, this incident spread. In this era when Zhu Neo-Confucianism was a sacrificing person, this incident became one of the excuses for the enemy to impeach Li Zhi. Li Wan was imprisoned and died in prison.
