Nan Yi glanced around casually.
In the special field of vision of his "Dongzhen" talent, there was no flash of spiritual light.
This means that when it switches to "Dongzhen" vision, there are no extraordinary people or objects nearby.
But after this encounter, faced with Song Zhongzhi's praise, Nan Yi lost interest in talking and was no longer in the mood to talk business.
"It's ridiculous." He waved his hands repeatedly, moved his eyes slightly, and then added half a sentence, "Don't blame me for hiding my clumsiness in class."
Although he knew that Song Zhong was just sighing casually, Nan Yi had an inexplicable intuition that seemed to be an illusion, so Nan Yi decided to patch up his personality and pretend that his current performance was different from usual because he was hiding his clumsiness in the past.
Song Zhong didn't have as many twists and turns as Nan Yi. He just smiled when he heard the words and didn't take Nan Yi's words to heart.
There are not a few people who hide their stupidity.
But some people hide their clumsiness because they are really clumsy; and some people hide their clumsiness because they are inherently clumsy.
Nan Yi stopped walking, guessing that all the students outside the small courtyard of the school had dispersed, and it was time for the Wu An soldiers in the courtyard to leave, so he said goodbye to Song Zhong and prepared to return to the dormitory of the school.
Song Zhong waved goodbye and said: "Go back and rest early, but please update Brother Nan more on "The Legend of Two Dragons in the Great Li"."
"Haha, it's useless for me to urge you to update. I have to go and urge Beiheju and Ming Pao."
Nan Yi waved his hand, turned around and walked back.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Nan Yi raised his heart and hunched his feet, but nothing happened until he walked back to the school building, as if he was just scaring himself.
He didn't make any change in his expression. After returning to his dormitory, he closed the door, took out the sharp knife he had placed previously from under the quilt, and placed it at hand. Then he lay down on the bed and yawned.
Then, using the motion of yawning, he took a long breath and closed his eyes.
But Nan Yi closed his eyes, his mind was still racing.
He thought for a moment and secretly thought that the vague sense of spying might come from the black cat that occasionally appeared around him before.
Even if there is no basis, even if nothing seems to happen, Nan Yi chooses to believe in his intuition.
Of course, it is out of the precautionary mentality of "I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist", but it is also due to the talent of "Deep Truth", which has the characteristics of passive effect.
It should be noted that the premise of passive analysis is to passively collect surrounding information.
Even though Nan Yi needs to lock the target in order to expand the information panel corresponding to the target, this passive collection of information virtually makes Nan Yi's sense of intuition stronger.
He sighed secretly in his heart:
Although the annual exam is over, this year has not passed yet, so the things I have to do may not be over.
…………
The next morning, a group of students came to the school building and sat down.
Although the annual exams are over, there is still a break-up class in the school to officially mark the end of this year's classes, where students are required to report their preliminary intentions for next year.
Should he continue studying in the school, give up his studies, or decide that as long as he gets into the top ten, he will study in the county academy.
When it was Nan Yi's turn, he first said that as long as he was in the top ten, no matter the specific ranking, he would go to the county academy for further study, and then said:
"Master Zhu, there is one more thing I need to trouble you with. When the results of the year-end exam come out, I want to choose a new name. I'm afraid I will need Master Zhu to come forward and help the students."
"It's easy to talk about." Zhu Xian immediately held his beard and agreed happily, "As long as you rank first in the annual exam, I will personally come forward and go to the civil affairs office to change your household registration nameplate."
The household registration tag is equivalent to an ID card. If you don't have one, you are a black householder. It is difficult to move around in the local area, and it is difficult to even find odd jobs.
Nan Yi, for example, was able to study in a dormitory because his whole family saved money and lived frugally. He came to Nanshan County two and a half years ago, spending 5,000 yuan, just to earn money as a villager. Get a household registration tag.
Now, Nan Yi wants to change his name from his original nickname, Nan Yi, to "Nan Yi", and needs to change his household registration nameplate at the Yamen Civil Office.
In fact, it is not difficult to change the name. However, after changing the household registration nameplate, the county civil affairs office still needs to report the matter to the county civil affairs supervisor, so it does not want to handle it easily. It has to ask someone with status in the county to ask for help before it can handle the matter.
Zhu Xian, a lecturer at Nanshan Academy, has been teaching for many years and has many talents in Nanshan, so his status is quite sufficient. But if Nan Yi’s performance in the annual exam is not good, it will be difficult to move him.
In this regard, Nan Yi can only say that peace will last for a long time and the administration will become rigid, and everyone knows it.
In addition, there is another thing that is closely related to the household registration nameplate, called "road guide".
Without roads, ordinary people cannot go outside the county and can only move within Nanshan County.
If Nanyi can win the first place in Nanshan County's annual examination this year, Nanshan School will issue a letter of recommendation, which is essentially a kind of guidance.
However, the entire Chu County will grade the exams uniformly, and the results will not come out so quickly.
In addition, it is the New Year's Eve, and the results of the annual examination will not be officially announced to schools in various places until January 11th after the new year.
Now that classes are over in the school, Nan Yi rushes to Beihe Residence.
"Uncle Xie, how are the sales of Ming Pao now?"
Arriving at Beiheju, Nan Yi asked and glanced at the layout of the store.
The bookshelf holding "Ming Pao" has been moved from the street outside the store to the entrance of the bookstore. You can still pick it up and pay directly at the counter.
"Nan Lang is here, are you sure you can do well in the annual exam?" Seeing Nan Yi coming, Xie Beihe quickly stood up from the counter and walked out, "The sales volume of "Ming Pao" is quite gratifying. The first batch of one thousand copies was sold out on the same day; The second batch, almost 7,788 have been sold so far.”
Without considering impressions, the cost of printing a thousand newspapers in batches is only ten copper dollars. Including the cost of the impression of 30 copper yuan, Xie Beihe's previous investment of 40 yuan in printing fees was just enough to make the model and print a thousand newspapers.
There was a special price of one cent on the first day, and the one thousand cents returned, which was ten yuan, were used to print the second batch of one thousand copies.
Starting from the second batch, even if the price is only ten cents, if sold directly by Beiheju, each newspaper will make a profit of nine cents.
And now more than 700 copies have been sold, which means that not only the stamping cost of the first issue of "Ming Pao" has been recovered, but also the printing cost of the second issue has almost been covered.
If you sell it later, it will be pure profit.
Although the market surplus of single-issue newspapers in Nanshan County is no longer large. But in other counties, there are still very large markets.
Even if other counties, unlike Nanshan County, cannot sell directly from Beiheju and have to wholesale to booksellers in other counties at a discount, the profits are still very considerable.
Nan Yi found such a profit astonishing just by doing a little mental arithmetic.
Of course, the premise of all this is that someone is willing to buy the newspaper. If no one cares about starting a new newspaper, I am afraid that even the cost of impressions will not be recovered.
It’s no wonder that Xie Beihe, after appreciating the amazing potential of Nan Yizhi’s painting skills, decided to start his own business and founded Ming Pao.
"Nanlang, do you want to pay you more royalties?"
In fact, "Ming Pao" has not really started to make a profit yet, but has just covered the cost of impressions for the first two issues of the newspaper. But as long as the amount is not too outrageous, Xie Beihe doesn't mind advancing the manuscript fee to Nan Yi in advance.
