Transmigrating to the Ancient Times with Lu’s Convenience - Chapter 131
In front of Ji yun’an and Chen Xiaocai are two hundred first volume books of journey to the west, which they just got.
After Chen Xiaocai came, he bought a publishing house that was going to close down to print journey to the West. In order to ensure confidentiality, Ji yun’an replaced all the people in the publishing house with his own.
“Well, the things come out, and they will be sold in Yunxuan teahouse tomorrow.”
Ji yun’an has been telling the story of journey to the West for several days, and he should have many supporters.
Many people are eager to know the details of the following story. At this time, it should be possible to sell books.
Chen Xiaocai some expectations of the way: “I hope you can sell.”
“Ji An is full of confidence.”
Chen Xiaocai and Ji Yunan go to the teahouse with a book to find Zhao he. When they go to the teahouse, they see Zhao he arguing with a middle-aged man. Zhao he impatiently asks people to drag him out.
There were many people around the teahouse. When they saw that the middle-aged man had been driven out, they laughed at him. The middle-aged man was ridiculed by the people for a while. He became angry and went away.
Zhao he saw Ji yun’an and Chen Xiaocai coming, showing a warm smile, “here you are.”
Zhao he has been very happy recently. The story of the monkey king has not only won the favor of many civilians, but also won the favor of many noble people.
His teahouse belongs to the middle and low-end teahouse. On weekdays, he receives some small officials and rich businessmen. However, these days are different, because they are the only ones who tell the story here, and many dignitaries come to listen to it. Usually idle private rooms, which will be full every day.
Zhao he even found a few eunuchs among the audience. The eunuchs didn’t come to listen, not necessarily because they wanted to. After listening, they told them to the nobles in the palace.
Zhao he has made it clear for a long time that the teahouse Ji yun’an first sought was not their family, but several high-end teahouses in Kyoto. However, the people in those teahouses could not trust Ji yun’an and refused. It seems that the owners of those teahouses are very sorry.
Knowing this, Zhao he became more and more proud and felt that he knew the elite with brilliant eyes.
“Boss Zhao, who is that?”
Zhao he curled his mouth, lowered his face and said, “a white eyed wolf, he is the original storyteller in our shop.”
This storyteller was originally trained by him, and he thinks that he has a good treatment for this guy. As a result, this guy is famous, so he goes to his opponent, and he says that he has stayed in his shop for friendship in recent years. At his level, staying in his teahouse is inferior.
It took so much effort to cultivate a white eyed wolf. Zhao he gave this man a lot of tricks, not to mention the profit problem in the store. This guy did this, but it greatly reduced his face. Before, because of the man’s defection to the enemy, he was often laughed at by others. Many friends teased him that he didn’t know people clearly, and even his subordinates couldn’t control him.
The teahouse on his side is full recently, and the business is very good. His opponent’s teahouse is miserable. When people come to his side, the business of the other party’s teahouse is naturally bad. His opponent is also grumpy. Seeing that the business of the teahouse is not good, he spills the fire on the thing that betrays the owner. The person who originally spent a lot of money to dig it up says no, No.
The other teahouses also know about this man’s betrayal, and they are not willing to use him, so the guy has the cheek to come back to show loyalty to him, but how can he use such a person again.
“Is this volume I?” Knowing that Chen Xiaocai and Ji Yunan are going to bring books to the teahouse, Zhao he has been waiting for a long time.
Boss Zhao, we are going to start selling books tomorrow. I hope your storyteller can help us say something.
Zhao he looked through the book and found that most of the stories had been told, but the following stories had not been told in time. “It’s natural.”
Zhao he took out four hundred taels of silver and divided it into two parts and handed it to Chen Xiaocai and Ji Yunan, “boss Zhao, what are you doing? Ji Shao, don’t refuse it. It’s a bonus for Ji Shao. Without your story, it’s not easy for my teahouse to come back from the dead. Moreover, there are many noble people in my teahouse recently, which is an invisible wealth.” Recently, his father praised him for his ability.
Ji yun’an is really short of money, and he is not polite to Zhao he. Originally, there was a dividend in their agreement.
Ji yun’an and Zhao he discussed that the first volume of journey to the West was sold for one or two silver.
The book was sold out in an hour. Many people bought more than ten or twenty copies. Chen Xiaocai was worried about printing a lot. Seeing this, he decided to print more.
At Zhao he’s invitation, Chen Xiaocai and Ji Yunan sat in the teahouse for a while.
Listening to the cheers of the people below, Chen Xiaocai can’t help feeling a little excited.
“This story is really popular.” Ji Yun An Road.
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said in secret: there are so many people in Kyoto who have nothing to do. If it’s in Sha county, no one will be bored and squat in the teahouse every day to listen to stories.Chen Xiaocai murmured: “brother Lin said that Kyoto’s business is easy to do.” Brother Lin really has foresight. Chen Xiaocai came out of the teahouse, but he was still in a fog.
Just when he was selling books in the teahouse, a group of people coaxed him to grab them, but Chen Xiaocai was startled.
“Two little brothers, what a coincidence!” Ji yun’an and Chen Xiaocai are walking on the road. A man in gorgeous clothes stands in front of them.
Chen Xiaocai recognizes him. This man is the shopkeeper of Yunhu teahouse. A few days ago, when they went to find him, they were driven out. The boy in the shop has eyes on his head. What he says is very unpleasant.
In fact, it’s not the first time they’ve been stopped in the past two days. The purpose of several teahouse managers is similar, but they both refused.
Ji yun’an came forward and negotiated with the teahouse owner. Compared with Chen Xiaocai, Ji yun’an has more experience in dealing with these people. Because he had a prior talk with boss Zhao, Ji yun’an refused the boss’s request.
Chen wheat is eating cakes with bright eyes. The cakes in front of Chen wheat are bought by Ji yun’an from the street.
“Second brother, there are many delicious things in Kyoto.” Chen said.
Chen Xiaocai nodded, “there are many delicious things in Kyoto, and many rich people.”
“Wheat, how much did these cakes cost?” Chen Xiaocai asked casually.
“This box of one or two silver, I listen to the little guy at home.” Chen said.
Chen Xiaocai twitched and said, “rob money!”
Chen wheat stuffy way: “is some expensive, however, Ji big brother said, the price of Kyoto is like this.”
Chen Mai sighs. Although he has made a lot of money, he still can’t change his idea for a while. No wonder those rich men in Kyoto think he is a bumpkin and lacks the inside information. Anyway, business in Kyoto is really good. No wonder Lu Lin will let him come to Beijing to make a fortune. It’s really good to make a fortune. These two silver books are all in one go It’s sold out.
“It’s still cheaper in Shaxian.” Chen xiaocaidao.
Chen wheat nodded and said, “in fact, this cake is not as delicious as I made it.” Chen wheat said while eating up the cake.
Chen Xiaocai looks at Chen wheat’s puffy cheeks and thinks to himself: spend it, spend it, as long as you earn more than you spend.
Chen Xiaocai pulls his finger and calculates how much money he can earn when he matures. He thinks that the future is bright.
Chen Xiaocai makes a rough estimate and thinks that he should be able to bring back a couple of taels of silver this time. Shen Chi will be scared at that time.
Chen Xiaocai suddenly thinks of a sentence that Lu Lincai put in his mouth. Don’t be limited by poverty. Chen Xiaocai sometimes thinks that Lu Lin is a little nervous, and often talks about something he doesn’t understand. However, this time, Chen Xiaocai seems to have some insight. Chen Xiaocai suddenly thinks that Lu Lin is really powerful!
“Second brother, do you want to do business? Make money? ” Chen asked.
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, “well, I’ve made a lot of money.”
Many farmers in Shaxian County can’t get enough to eat. They want to break a copper plate into two flowers. Kyoto is different. Many people are well-dressed and well fed when they are born. In order to have a good time with Huakui, they are willing to spend a few yuan.
Looking at today’s story book being looted, and the scene of people coming here after they didn’t buy the book and beating their chest and feet, Chen Xiaocai’s mood can’t help being a little complicated.
Zhu men stinks of wine and meat. The road is frozen to death!
Chen wheat some excited way: “great, second brother, you make money, want to buy me more delicious ah!” Chen Xiaocai smiles and says, “OK.”
Ji Chengkang looked at Ji Yunan strangely and said, “did you make that monkey king story?” Ji Chengkang has been very busy since he came back. He was busy contacting Ji yun’an with the Academy. He didn’t expect that Ji yun’an would become famous in the twinkling of an eye.
Ji Chengkang still heard about Ji yun’an in his friend’s mouth. He said that Ji yun’an was selling storybooks recently and should have made a lot of money.
Others want him to help, want to go through the back door and buy books in volume two and volume two in advance.
Ji Chengkang originally thought that his friend was too mischievous, but he was so worried about a storybook.
As a result, one after another people want to go through the back door from him, Ji Chengkang can’t help but be shocked.
Ji Chengkang didn’t expect that the charm of a story could be so great that some of his friends, who are usually reserved and self respecting, could ask him for help.
Ji Yun An nodded and said, “yes.” Ji yun’an took out three hundred taels of silver to show Ji Chengkang.
Ji Chengkang looked at the twitch, “so much.”
Ji Chengkang said in secret: it’s only a few days since Ji yun’an came back. He has made several hundred taels of silver at once. This big business under the name of Ji’s family can only earn more than 200 taels of silver a year.
Ji yun’an nodded and said, “this is the first wave of silver. In a few days, we will sell another wave.”Ji Chengkang looked at Ji Yunan suspiciously, “who told you this story? I heard that you wrote it?” Ji yun’an shook his head and said, “it’s Mr. Lu who told it. I’m just responsible for recording it. However, Mr. Lu didn’t think of this story. He also heard it from an old man in the mountain.”
“And the old man?”
“Passed away a few years ago.”
Ji Chengkang sighed, “it’s a pity how you and Chen Xiaocai share.”
“Half of me, half of him.”
Ji Chengkang some embarrassed way: “we take more.”
Ji Chengkang is not used to taking advantage of others. Lu Lin told the story, so they shouldn’t take advantage of it.
Ji yun’an nodded and said, “I think so, too. However, I discussed with Mr. Lu before I went out. Mr. Lu said that if I don’t want this money, I will take it as military capital. It should be his donation. They only need half of it.”
Ji Chengkang was stunned for a moment and said, “do you want to be a military asset? Mr. Lu is really a rare good official! ” Ji yun’an’s face is a little strange. Lu Lin is not a clean official, but he is not a corrupt official. Ji yun’an suddenly thinks of what Chen Mai said before. A good official is able to take the people under him to make a fortune, fatten himself, and fatten the villagers.
Ji yun’an originally thought that this was nonsense, but now he suddenly felt that there seemed to be some truth.
Looking at the silver in front of him, Ji yun’an suddenly feels that Lu Lin has become unfathomable. Money is not everything. Without money, you can’t do anything. Ji yun’an knows that Ji Chengkang wants to arrange a good academy for him during this period of time. He’s been shut down for a long time. The result has something to do with money.
Ji yun’an thought Lu Lin’s words stink of copper, but he thought it was very reasonable. Anyway, it’s always good to have money.
