The next day, the family finished breakfast at dawn and went about their own business.
Today was the day to deliver books to the study. Xiuxuan would not miss the opportunity to go to the city, so she followed her parents into the city to sell books.
Ruo Jiang and Jiang Shi are responsible for printing books at home. Printing books is simpler and easier than farm work. Jiang is the daughter of a scholar, so she can do this job.
By the way, she was also responsible for watching several children practice calligraphy and memorizing.
Ruo Hai is responsible for digging the ground and teaching Ruo Zhou to practice martial arts.
In five days, the martial arts competition for admission to Dengfeng Academy will begin, and the entrance exams for Juxian Academy and Bailu Academy will be ten days later.
The weak boat dare not neglect, and trains itself until exhausted every day before daring to stop.
Ruochuan took the tiger, white fox and three wolves into the city before dawn to sell them. He figured that he would enter the city as soon as the city gate opened.
county seat
As soon as Ruoshui pushed the trolley outside the study door, the shopkeeper ran out enthusiastically again and took the initiative to move the books in: "Mr. Ruo, you are here! I have a big business here, let's go in and talk."
Ruoshui went in alone holding the remaining bundles of books.
Wei Xuan jumped off the carriage neatly and followed.
Mrs. Liu also stayed outside to guard the cart. There was a new quilt in the cart, as well as bacon, freshly killed pheasants, wild ducks and wild pigeons, one of each. She planned to send them to her father later. .
Yesterday, Old Man Liu asked someone to send a message asking them to visit his home when they entered the city.
Ruoxuan couldn't wait to run in and asked: "Grandpa shopkeeper, what kind of big business is this?"
It was still early, and there were no guests in the study, so the shopkeeper said directly: "There is a merchant from the capital who ordered five thousand books. They will be needed in ten days. Can you make it in time? He directly put the full amount of four hundred taels in my deposit. Here, he has signed all the paperwork, and he is staying here with me. He has business to go to a neighboring county to discuss, and he can’t wait for you to come and talk in person. Just sign the paperwork in advance."
Ruoshui was shocked: "That's five thousand copies?"
Big business indeed!
"No, if Mr. Weak's artifact can be copied, you might as well consider signing the document. If you can't make it in time, don't sign. After all, he is not a minority. When he comes next time, I will help you push him. After all, I have someone here too. The students have come to order books. Five hundred books in three days is essential. The merchant has business in four countries. I originally wanted to order 10,000 books and sell them to neighboring countries. I was afraid that you would not be able to make it in time, so I told him about 5,000 books. They are all the Four Books and Five Classics and the Thousand-Character Classic."
Ruoshui thought about five thousand copies in ten days, which meant he needed to print five hundred more copies every day. He and his second brother alone couldn't do it.
Printing a book is fast, but after printing it has to be bound and so on, which is not fast.
However, my mother, daughter-in-law, eldest brother, second sister-in-law, third brother, and sixth brother can all help. There is no reason not to make money if you have money. Ruoshui said: "Okay! I will find more people to help. Five thousand can be used."
The shopkeeper was very surprised when he heard this, but he was also happy: "That's right! This is the document. Take a look at it. You have to make sure it can be copied before signing. The reward for breach of contract is quite a lot, one thousand taels."
Ruoshui frowned upon hearing this: "So many?"
The shopkeeper took out the key and opened the drawer, rummaging through the contract document and said: "He originally planned to return to the capital today, but he was willing to stay for ten more days because he liked the book you copied. He was afraid that waiting for ten days would be in vain, so he broke the contract. He only ordered a thousand taels of silver. But the price he gave for each book was also high, eighty taels a book. He sold them to neighboring countries. The small countries around us liked the books of our Xuanyuan Kingdom, and the price was only 1,000 taels. High. But you have to make sure you can copy it before signing."
Ruoxuan was not worried at all about not being able to print it. Ten thousand books meant that she had to spend one immortal technique. If one immortal technique was not enough, just two would be enough. She would only need two days of practice.
Of course, she would not use magic unless necessary. The angry expression of Lord Xuanyuan was quite scary.
He ignored her after yesterday.
Ruoxuan tugged at the hem of Ruoshui's clothes and said, "Dad, promise!"
The shopkeeper took out the document and the four hundred taels of silver notes from the drawer and placed them in front of Ruo Shui: "Mr. Ruo Shui, look at it. The merchant has already signed it. If you think you can do it, just sign it. No, no." Don't force it. Our study is only responsible for helping convey this business, and we don't make a penny, so we are not responsible for it."
Five thousand books and ten days were too risky. He didn't know if they could copy it out, so the shopkeeper simply didn't earn the middle fee and acted as a good person and helped convey it.
Shopkeeper: "Look carefully and act within your ability."
As soon as the document came out, Ruoxuan felt something unusual.
She blinked her big eyes and couldn't help but stand on tiptoes to take a look. Unfortunately, the counter was more than one meter high and she wasn't tall enough.
Ruoshui looked at the documents and saw that there were no traps. There were five thousand copies of the Four Books and Five Classics. Each book had 500 copies, making a total of 4,500 copies. The remaining five hundred copies all required the "Thousand-Character Classic". They just needed to deliver the goods on time and in quantity. , the number of books can be more or less, more money will be added when delivery.
These calligraphy templates are ready-made and can be produced at night when you sleep.
You can earn 400 taels in ten days, and after deducting the money for paper and ink, there are more than 350 taels. You have to drive them out without eating or sleeping!
My family is planning to build a house and needs to clear land. We need to buy fruit seedlings and medicinal seeds, but we are short of money.
The shopkeeper moved the pen and ink over: "If you can do it, you won't be afraid of signing. My study can't make three or four hundred taels a month!"
The monthly profit of the study is relatively stable, ranging from one hundred to two hundred taels. Sometimes, when you meet a generous scholar and buy a high-quality inkstone, ink sticks or famous calligraphy and painting, you can earn several hundred or even a thousand taels.
"Okay." Ruoshui signed his name on the two copies of the document and drew his signature.
"The book needs to be delivered to the post station ten miles away from the city. Does Mr. Xiang know the place? I don't know if I will send someone to show you the way. It is also written on the document. Remember to deliver it on time."
"Thank you shopkeeper, don't bother your people, I know." The delivery location is also written on the document.
"Just know."
After Xiu Shui finished signing, Xiuxuan said, "Dad, I want to see the documents."
Ruoshui gave the document to Ruoxuan, stuffed a few banknotes into his arms and put them away.
Ruoxuan took it and took a look at the fingerprint on the signature. The fingerprint on this fingerprint was very special. Strictly speaking, it was not a fingerprint, but a rune.
Anyone who gets such a document will sign it.
Is the other party about to take action?
Ruoxuan was particularly excited. How many thunders will God strike this time?
Seeing that she was looking at it so seriously, the shopkeeper couldn't help teasing her: "Little girl, do you understand? You know the words on it."
Ruoxuan nodded: "I understand! We all know each other."
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Then you read it to the shopkeeper and listen to it."
Ruoxuan then read aloud in a sweet voice: "The sales contract document, I, He Yuanzhi."
The shopkeeper couldn't help but be in awe as he listened. He actually knew how to read? Can you read the entire document?
She is indeed the master’s daughter!
He couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Ruoshui: "Mr. Weak's daughter is as powerful as Mr. Weak. Is she four years old? She knows so many words at such a young age!"
Ruoshui smiled, feeling extremely proud: "Three and a half years old."
"I admire you!"
Ruoshui exchanged a few shabby words with the shopkeeper and left. He wanted to see his father-in-law before rushing home to print books.
Five thousand books is no joke!
