It is normal for people like this to be unable to run this book club well, so Zhao Feng looked inside the book club and asked shopkeeper Chen.
"Shopkeeper Chen, how much silver do you plan to use to sell this book club?"
Shopkeeper Chen looked at Zhao Feng in surprise, and then said awkwardly.
"Sir, if you want this book club, I can sell it to you for 20 taels of silver!"
Zhao Feng shook his head and said seriously to Shopkeeper Chen.
"Shopkeeper Chen, you don't have to be like this. I'm just a businessman who wants to buy this book club."
"How much money should be paid."
Shopkeeper Chen hesitated for a moment and said to Zhao Feng.
"Then, then 30 taels?"
Zhao Feng laughed. For such a big bookstore and such a good location, if it costs 30 taels, shopkeeper Chen will definitely lose a lot.
So Zhao Feng waved his hand directly and said.
"Shopkeeper Chen, I'll give you 50 taels. Give me this book club!"
Shopkeeper Chen showed a shocked expression, but Zhao Feng had already taken out 50 taels of silver.
"This, this... okay!"
Although shopkeeper Chen hesitated, he finally took the money from Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng nodded, looked at the situation inside the book club, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
With his current family background, he doesn't care about the 50 taels of silver at all. With these 50 taels of silver, he can buy a book club for Chen Rou, let her try to run it, and also train Chen Rou.
What's more, there are many books in this book club. Chen Rou can also learn the knowledge in these books when printing books.
With this thought, Zhao Feng walked over and looked at the books in this book club, but then he couldn't help but sigh.
Shopkeeper Chen is worthy of being a scholar. Although he has never passed the examination for so many years and has never been a scholar, the books in this bookstore are all books by sages, not even a miscellaneous book.
Zhao Feng looked through the sage books and couldn't help but put them all on the table. He couldn't stand them anymore.
In fact, the great Confucian classics of each dynasty and each generation have their own interpretations of these Confucian classics, so these Confucian classics must also be reprinted based on the interpretations of those great Confucian scholars.
What was placed on it were the explanations and annotations of several contemporary great scholars. However, after seeing the explanations and annotations of these so-called great scholars, Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that this was indeed an era of feudal imperial power. People like me simply can't stand these books.
But only this kind of book can sell well, so Zhao Feng didn't make too many changes.
The next day, Chen Rou and Chen Mancai arrived in Zhao County from the capital in a carriage. Zhao Feng personally greeted Chen Rou and Chen Man at the gate of the county government office. After getting off the car, he saw Zhao Feng standing at the gate of the county government office wearing official uniform. Couldn't help but laugh.
"Husband, why don't you handle official business in the county government and come out to greet us in person?"
Zhao Feng smiled, waved his hand, and said to Chen Rou very fondly.
"My wife is back, so of course I have to take a break from business, not to mention there isn't much official business."
"Come on, let's go in!"
The government officials couldn't help but sigh when they saw Chen Rou and Chen Man. They didn't expect that Mr. Zhao not only had such talent, but also had such a lovely wife and beautiful family.
But they didn't dare to look around. Only Liu Wei frowned slightly, thinking that Zhao Feng was usually unreliable enough, so why did he take his wife to the county government?
Zhao Feng took Chen Rou and Chen Man to settle down in the county government office, and then said to Chen Rou.
"Madam, I know you want to run a book club, so I specially bought a book club for you."
"This book club is not far from the county government office. I will take you there to have a look soon!"
Chen Rou suddenly nodded in surprise and said to Zhao Feng with a smile.
"Ms. sir, do you really want me to run a book club? Aren't you afraid that I will compensate the owner?"
Zhao Feng couldn't help laughing and said to Chen Rou.
"Don't worry, even if you lose money, you can still gain some experience."
"Besides, how can a book club lose too much money on something like this?"
Chen Rou nodded. After studying with Zhao Feng for so long, Chen Rou really wanted to try to run a business.
So Zhao Feng asked Chen Rou to put down her luggage first, walked out directly, and said to Liu Wei and the others.
"I'm going out for a while. If you have anything to do, wait until I get back to talk about it."
Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh, but he also knew Zhao Feng's character, so he had no choice but to nod and agree.
Chen Man saw Chen Rou and Zhao Feng going out from behind, and hurriedly followed him.
The three of them went directly to the book club. Seeing that the environment in the book club was very elegant, and there were carved wooden boards everywhere, and workers in charge of printing, Chen Rou couldn't help but asked Zhao Feng in surprise. .
"This book club looks pretty good. Do you really want me to run it alone?"
Zhao Feng nodded, pointed at the book club and said to Chen Rou.
"This book club will leave it to you to practice, but it is only responsible for printing books, and the process is not too complicated. You should be able to learn it."
Chen Rou nodded and looked at the printed books with great joy.
Zhao Feng asked Chen Rou to get familiar with the book club's environment here and try to start running it, but he had no intention of getting involved.
After all, this is also the first business that Chen Rou has to do. If he had planned all the paths for Chen Rou, the training effect would be gone.
Although Zhao Feng also knows many ways to improve the book club's business, if Chen Rou doesn't come to beg him, he still believes in Chen Rou's ability!
Soon, the book club opened. Since these workers also knew Zhao Feng's identity, they did not need to worry about the safety of sisters Chen Rou and Chen Man.
After returning to the county government office, Liu Wei came over and asked Zhao Feng with some confusion.
"Sir, our Zhou Dynasty has clear laws that prohibit officials from doing business. How come you knowingly violate it?"
Zhao Feng quickly waved his hand and said to Liu Wei.
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
"It is my wife who runs the book club. It is only stipulated that officials themselves cannot do business, but there is no rule that officials' family members cannot do business, right?"
"And if I remember correctly, the laws of the Zhou Dynasty prohibit officials above the sixth rank from doing business, right?"
When Liu Wei heard this, he couldn't help opening his mouth, but finally sighed helplessly and shook his head.
When I was in the capital, every official I saw was above the sixth rank. After all, they could enter the court. It was impossible for officials below the sixth rank to enter the court.
Seeing Zhao Feng now, Liu Wei subconsciously regarded Zhao Feng as a sixth-grade official, but now he remembered that Zhao Feng was just a ninth-grade county magistrate!
