The hawking, noise, bargaining sounds were endless on the street. A small stall built in a pergola, three bowls of sour plum soup on a green cloth, Luo Gaocai's melon-skin hat, gray jacket, and dry tobacco pipe edge knocked, and frowned: "Young Master Jia, do you say, let's ask us to send books by the folk posters? Do you still have to travel north and south?"

"Yes, when Zi Chong's articles are the two shopkeepers, who is the best money to make? Scholars! Which one is cheaper for pens, ink, paper and inkstone? Especially Shiwen books, which are more sellable than entertainment." Jia Cong smiled slightly: "You, one is engaged in post-school biography and the other is open to a book shop. It seems that the situation is not the same, but it is not the case. You can join forces. Luo's shopkeeper travels to Jiangnan Shiwen, famous poets and books, and will definitely sell well in the north."

Jia Cong did not speculate out of thin air. There were merchants in the Qing Dynasty who did this and made a fortune. In fact, later generations, including scholars at that time, might simply think that the ancient merchants had low education and no IQ, which was an insult to the ancients and ancestors. In the early Qing Dynasty, merchants had completely invented advertising, buy one get one free, promotion and other methods. As for the IQ of the common people? In the Ming and Qing dynasties, people did not hesitate to self-harm and false accusations in order to win lawsuits, and methods emerged one after another. Many magistrates and prefects were in a hurry... Scholars do not have to have a sense of superiority and do not know how to adapt, and they will suffer losses among the people...

Luo Gaocai and Zheng Yeliao naturally knew that it was profitable, but this was not enough. Jia Cong said with confidence: "I believe the two shopkeepers have also heard of Xiaoke's reputation. I can be a good writer at the age of eight, so there is still hope to be a student. If I become famous at a young age, I will definitely review the articles of your store, so why worry about not making any profit?"

When famous people review articles, they can be sold well. Of course, Jia Cong must become famous and gain fame. Moreover, the review is of particularity, fast and accurate. Kuang Chaoren of "The Scholars" relies on this for life. Scholars are rushing to buy, and what they want is the celebrity effect. In fact, these two people lived in Xicheng for a long time, and they also heard about Jia Cong's origin and reputation. If they continue to say this, they are already a little moved.

"These articles of "The Scholars" by my brother... Well, it's not as good as "Jin Ping Mei", so I'm afraid I can't sell a few copies." Zheng Yeliao dragged her belly down on the round stool, and her lips sucked sour plum soup: "It's still the best "Jin Ping Mei"... Tell me, how can I join the stock?"

It’s good to have yellow, so you can just go and read "Yucuntuan" and "Dongxuanzi" and so on. Jia Cong said with a funny look: "If you don’t have to sell it, you will not be able to sell it. Next year, the books of "Shan Hai Laos" will definitely be popular next year. First, I will bring in my books and paintings, but I will not charge money. Within a year, I will only charge half of the books and half of them for the purpose of running a book shop. Second, I will still manage this book shop. I will not interfere, I will only pay dividends according to the proportion of the investment. If you have far-sightedness, I can guarantee that the book club will be open all over the country in less than three years..."

The two looked at each other, a little unbelievable, but Zheng Yeliao had already guessed that the books were written by Jia Cong, which was called genius. It was no exaggeration. If he became famous at a young age and had a lot of friends with Shilin, the book shop would of course make a lot of money... Luo Gaocai looked at the book's signature "Shan Hai Lao Lao" and said, "It's not a loss for us to do it with you at this time. The young man's human nature and worldly style are just learning the writings. We also know that you can try it and make a contract. If you can't break up again, what's the name? What's the name for the book club to move to Xuanwu's porch room?"

He is really a brutal businessman, and he still has to make a contract. Once Jia Cong regrets or annexes, they will be able to sue. Jia Cong thought, "Okay, just call it Shanhai Bookstore."

At this time, none of them expected that several years later, Shanhai Bookstore was known to everyone in Shilin, which shocked the world. However, this bookstore was just an eight-year-old child and two vendors, finalized in a small stall.

The reason why Jia Cong invested in the stock market was, on the one hand, of course, for money, and on the other hand, he would rely on book clubs to spread his reputation in the future. He attached great importance to win-win cooperation and would not take money too seriously. These two people are also familiar with each other.

It is not easy to write a book. He is not a brain-smart. He only remembers the plot in general. He can rack his brains when he uses words and sentences. He doesn't know how much money he spends on unsatisfied drafts, and it's not that easy to make money.

Look at Cao Xueqin, "the family eats porridge and wine often sells for credit", the child dies of prematureness, and his wife dies of illness. The great "Dream of Red Mansions" has to praise merits because of literary inquisition, and it is also a eunuch. Shi Nai'an, Pu Songling and others are not having a good time... Writers, regardless of ancient and modern times, have a hard life. There is no concept of genuine edition in this era. Even if there is genuine edition, pirated editions will fly all over the sky... Before Hu Shi and Yu Pingbo's new Redology, people didn't know that the author of the Red Mansion was Cao Xueqin, how sad Lao Cao was.

Jia Cong can earn dozens of taels of taels of money a book is not because of the production and printing conditions of ancient times. It is because of the poor family, but cannot afford to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Most of the customers of books are from wealthy families, and it is not surprising that it is a bit expensive.

...

In the small courtyard flower hall inside the black oil gate, singing and dancing, Jia She looked left and right, and his beard was broken: "What did you say? My father allowed you to study and give you enough money. You are not satisfied with your son, so you still want a thousand taels?"

Jia She's lungs were so angry! What kind of money-making thing? I bought a little wife, only 800 taels, but you only want 1,000 taels? Mrs. Xing advised her husband again, and rolled her eyes at Jia Cong: "Cong'er, you're so chaotic! Are you going to anger your father to death?"

"Master, Madam, please calm down first." Jia Cong sat aside, calmly, without fear or restlessness at all: "The child will take the county examination next year and go to Wanping. Shuntian Prefecture has established a social warehouse in Wanping. This thousand taels are invested for the Shuntian social warehouse."

Jia She and Mrs. Xing didn't say a word. See what he said, would you donate money for nothing? How could you bear it?

Jia Cong continued: "First, the master donated money to Shuntian Society Warehouse, which is beneficial to the country and the people, and it is a good thing. What he earns is the good reputation of the Xifu Dafang. Second, the social warehouse is not selfless donation, but a loan relationship similar to Yinziqian. Of course, the interest rate of this kind of loan is not more than two or three cents. No matter what, the victims repay the loan at that time, this thousand taels can be beneficial. Third, Brother Zhen of Dongfu was disgraced, and our Xifu should be alert. Fourth, the magistrate of Wanping will be very happy to see this, which is also good for the children. Master, wife, both famous and beneficial, why not do it?"

"Okay! OK!" Jia She immediately turned from cloudy to sunny weather.

Mrs. Xing thought about it and said dissatisfiedly: "Who told you the idea? I thought it out myself? If you don't use the right way, be careful of your skin!"

Her heart was bleeding, one thousand taels, it was such a spoiler.

"I think so, Teacher Qin means that too. If the eldest wife is not at ease, she can send someone to Wanping to check it out." Jia Cong was ashamed: This cheating model is really not fun. I am almost a fool as a modern person. Especially Mrs. Xing is so stingy and stingy that one thousand taels are not easy to snatch.

Mrs. Jia Shexing called the servant Sun Fu in and interrogated him. Sun Fu was so scared that he was trembling. Only then did he ask Qiu Tong to take one hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver could not be carried, and Sun Fu was happy to make it bloom.

Jia Cong saw Qiu Tong a little at a loss, with a flushed face, and incomplete concealment. Jia Cong thought to himself: "Jia Lian had a secret meeting with Qiu Tong again, and his eyes were full of love. The relationship was so chaotic, and the people in the city were really good at playing."

...

According to Baochai's words, Jia Cong copied Liu Gongquan's "Xuanmi Pagoda Stele" in the study for half an hour. Hu brush is a famous pen in the world. It is both sharp and round, and is copied from the front and back. It is square and elegant.

Jia Cong then recalled and outlined the memories he had when copying, and put them out, and looked calm, calm, and the pretty maid around him, who was far-reaching and indifferent, and did not think about them. He was originally a smart person, and he integrated part of the soul memory of the original owner, and felt that his mind was more useful. Gradually, he figured out a little mysterious artistic conception in every stroke.

Turning back, you can see the "Richonian Picture". The couplets on both sides "Essence of the world is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is articles." When Mr. Lu Xun saw the portrait of Mr. Fujino, he quickly smoked and continued to "treat the people" with his pen. These are probably the same psychological warning. Jia Cong couldn't help but think: "Is Senior Sister Qin okay? I hope she can get out of the shadow..."

When he opened the lampshade at night, a few moths rushed over, and he thought again: "I am like these moths that are fighting for fire. After this study tour, I must win the county test and the government test. Not only will the case be the small three yuan, but I will also be on the list."

The mosquitoes were picked up by Qingwen and killed. She tidied up the table and kang, Yingchun initiated an invitation to see him off. Jia Cong paid the kitchen to prepare rice wine, fruits and vegetables, and asked for several sets of self-pouring pots, purple clay pots, sandalwood cups, etc. Qingwen was busy happily and carried a few transfers of food boxes, including candies, desserts, pine nuts, peanuts, ordinary rice, venison, etc. The green rice is in a fixed quantity, but it is expensive and cannot afford to spend. The venison is hot and suitable for young people. The total bill is more than three taels of silver, because the kitchen has to make a profit.

Beef is not common. In the era of agriculture-based, it is illegal for civilians to kill cattle. It is good to eat venison. Qingwen asked Sun Fu to bring in many stoves to prepare barbecue. Jia Cong's room was noisy, laughter and joy, delicious food was fragrant, candlelight, and the fragrance of books was gone. Lin Daiyu didn't eat it, she only ate melon seeds.

Yuanyang and Ping'er are here too. These two came on behalf of themselves. After returning to their masters, they have high emotional intelligence and IQ. One is the secretary of Mother Jia. The second master Lian respects when they see him. The other is Fengjie's confidant. He used to exercise power and accumulated a good reputation. Mr. Cong is the only ambitious male master in the Jia family. The eldest master, the second master, and the great master in the school all praise him. What if he goes to high school? Wang Xifeng didn't want Ping'er to come, but in order to create the illusion of harmony between his uncle and sister-in-law, he agreed that Wang Xifeng was not virtuous, but he was accustomed to pretending to be virtuous and was a scheming bitch.

The girls inside and outside the door include Qingwen, Yuanyang, Ping'er, Xiren, Musk Moon, Siqi, Embroidered Orange, Shishu, Inscriptions, Zijuan, Xueyan, Ying'er, etc. These are more decent, some are seated, and some are not.

Yuanyang is a master of wine orders. Everyone suggested that Yuanyang be the official, and Yuanyang was the only one who took two dominoes, made of ivory, and put them on the left and right. He drank the door glass first, and bowed and smiled slightly. The two freckles seemed to laugh: "The wine order is as big as a military order. Those who violate the violation will be punished for wine, and they must listen to me."

With his left hand turned, it was a twelve-point sky card. Yuanyang pointed at Jia Baoyu: "Come on! It's Zhang Tian on the left."

"I can only read scriptures every day." Jia Baoyu was reluctant to come over at night. If all his sisters had not come, he would not have come. He would have blurted out his jealousy towards Jia Cong inadvertently.

Daiyu and Baochai were slightly shocked. Isn’t this scolding Jia Cong?

The wine order is divided into Ya Ling and the common order. Ya Ling quotes the classics and classics. Jia Baoyu’s counterparts are not contradictory and does not violate the regulations. The mandarin duck’s right hand flips, and the eleven axe is also called the tiger head: “The right is Zhang Axe.”

Jia Baoyu said unhappy: "A little god is showing off his awesomeness."

"Together, he is a nerd." Yuanyang finally realized that he had let go. Oh, isn't this still scolding Jia Cong? She apologized and glanced at Jia Cong humbly.

Can you say it more ruthlessly? It’s just a matter of name, Qingwen is very upset.

To apologize, Yuanyang asked Jia Cong to answer the second time, and flipped his left hand and showed five plum blossoms: "The left is Zhang Mei."

Scolding me? Jia Cong sneered. When he saw Jia Baoyu wearing plum blossom embroidery, he said lightly: "Four dog feet reflect the six bridges!"

The five-point plum blossoms are like dog footprints, very vivid. Qingwen couldn't help but sniff, bent down and laughed.

Calling him a dog? How can you bear it? Jia Baoyu's big round face suddenly turned black!

Yuanyang was stunned. After Qingwen was defeated, she flipped the cards and said, "There is a goose on the right."

Domino is a combination of points of two dices. A combination of points and three points is called goose cards, also known as the Gang cards.

Jia Baoyu was picking up a rogue goose palm and hanging it to his mouth. Jia Cong smiled and said, "The ugly duck imitated the frown and envious goose."

Jia Cong said he could not bear it anymore! No need to bear it anymore! At this time, Jia Baoyu had a strong temper. Madam Li took advantage of it, but he couldn't do anything. He vented the innocent Qianxue and drove it away. Later, he teased Jin Chuan and left, forcing Jin Chuan to jump into the well. Jia Baoyu's thoughts may have good and advanced aspects, but what he did was completely a scumbag.

How could Jia Cong be afraid? He is not the one who swallows his anger. No matter which move he makes me provoke you, he will still kill you!

"Brother Cong...what did you say? Do you dare to insult your brother? I...I smashed this!" Jia Baoyu's eyes widened, his blue veins swelled up, he threw off his chopsticks, and pulled the spiritual jade with both hands. The spiritual jade was embedded on the golden collar and made the ears by Daiyu, but it could not be pulled down for a while.

Xiren, Musk Moon, Zijuan, Yuanyang..., Daiyu and others were panicked and fell down the spiritual jade? That's great! Wouldn't the old lady be angry? The girls are even more implicated... Only Qingwen watches the fun heartlessly.
