Chapter 186 Publishing a Book
The Jiang family went to the capital bustlingly, and her mother's family had left, so the Jiang family was inevitably sad for a few days, but now she is married, has two children, her family business is not considered rich, and she has a small surplus, so she does not have to worry about food and drink.What's more, my brother is going to be an official in the capital, and he has a bright future ahead.Thinking of this, Jiang Shifu became happy again.

The main thing is that life is going smoothly, and there is really nothing to be sad about.

Mrs. Li is not as melancholy as Mrs. Jiang. Although Zhou Qingqing's family went to the capital, but her daughter is going to be an official wife to enjoy the blessings. Mrs. Li thinks it is her daughter's blessing. Maybe she will be able to come back in a few years. It's really a glorious lintel.

Although most of the relatives have left, the life of the Li family still has to go on as usual.

Li Mei'er is almost seven years old now, and has already started to formally study with Mrs. Zhengu. Like Li Yuanxia and the others, she goes to school for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, and goes home for dinner at noon.Now she has started to learn the rules, sitting, lying, and walking are very different from those girls of the same age, and it makes people feel very comfortable.

Because of the longer study time, Li Meier has less time to play, but now that she is older, she no longer has the playfulness she used to have. In her spare time, she likes reading story books and novels written by Jiang Shanqing the most. That "Journey to the West" has been updated for a whole year from last year to the present, with nearly 100 million words, and it is finally finished now.

Li Meier collected every manuscript neatly. Looking at the thick pile of manuscripts in her hand, she couldn't tell what it was like. Thinking about the experience of reminding the new year this year, she really felt bitterness for herself. tears.

Because Jiang Shanqing has to go to ethnology school every day and practice martial arts to review homework when he returns home, he has very little time to write novels. Li Meier sneaks into his room almost every night, watching him finish writing today's update, and is satisfied In fact, Jiang Shanqing wrote very fast, [-] words a day, almost without thinking for a quarter of an hour, but he just didn't want to write more, no matter how soft Li Meier was, he could write at most every day. Two thousand words.It is also a beautiful name: two thousand daily changes is the kingly way, and everyone else writes like this!

Li Mei'er was so angry that she really wanted to ask who this other person was, she must go and have a heart-to-heart talk with that person.

But no matter what, Journey to the West was finally finished. Seeing such an ending that she was quite satisfied with, she suddenly had a great idea.So excitedly went to discuss with Jiang Shanqing.

"Brother Shanqing, I want to publish your "Journey to the West" in a bookstore. It is so well written that it will definitely sell well." Li Meier said excitedly.

"I didn't write it, it was written by Wu Chengen." Jiang Shanqing corrected, and then thought for a while and said: "This book can be sold, but it is better for us to earn the money than to let others earn it. You sell the book to Bookstores, at most, can only get some buyout money, and we won’t have any share of the proceeds later on. If we sell it ourselves, we can get money continuously.”

"But what kind of connections can we have? Printing and selling books is not such an easy thing." Of course Li Meier also wants to make a lot of money by herself, but this is not something that can be achieved just by talking.

"It's not impossible, let me think about it..." Jiang Shanqing actually thought about how to make a profitable living early in the morning. He also thought about the business of copying and selling books, but he was a little unwilling to let those booksellers make a lot of money , From ancient times to the present, writers have been the most difficult profession. They work hard to write a good work, but they often take the least money, and those publishing houses and websites earn most of it.

"I think, first of all, we need to buy a printing workshop and a bookstore." Jiang Shanqing thought for a moment, then said slowly.

"Brother Shanqing, where do we have money?" Li Meier felt that Jiang Shanqing was hysterical, why was he so whimsical, thinking that buying a shop was just buying cabbage.

"You don't have it, but I do." Jiang Shanqing grinned. He naturally didn't tell Li Meier that his mother secretly left him a sum of money before she died, and sewed it into the underwear he wore when he was a child.

Her mother felt that he was still too young at that time, so she didn't say anything in detail. She just told him to keep those old clothes well. Even his adoptive father didn't know that there was such a sum of money. It was really a lot of money. He didn't know where his mother got so much money, and she clearly had money in her hands, but she still lived a frugal life, and even when she was seriously ill, she was reluctant to see a doctor. In the end, he died of illness and had to entrust him to his adoptive father.

Li Mei'er is not too stupid, she quickly thought of something, opened her small mouth and asked in surprise, "Is it... the money your mother left for you?"

Jiang Shanqing nodded, "It's enough to buy two shops."

"But we are children, even if we have money, others won't sell us the shop." Li Mei'er felt that Jiang Shanqing was a little whimsical. The two of them ran over and said they wanted to buy other people's shops, and they would not be thrown out if they didn't get kicked out. Very good.

"I think you can ask your little uncle for help, and our shop can't be bought in the town. Zhangshui Town is too small. If you want to buy it, you can buy it in Yin County." Yin County is the state capital of Mingzhou, and Jiang Youzhi read it. The county school is opened in Yin County.

Li Meier's mouth was wide open, she didn't expect that she just made a suggestion to sell books, and Jiang Shanqing had already thought of opening a shop in the state capital, her courage and courage were far beyond her reach.

Li Meier swallowed her saliva, and said dryly: "If my brother-in-law is required to do this matter, it must be impossible to get around my mother. My mother is so smart. If we make such a big commotion, can she not help me?" Know."

"I didn't intend to hide it from my aunt. My aunt's business is still good. Her soap shop is doing very well. If she can help us run the bookstore, it will be more effective." Jiang Shanqing had thought of this a long time ago. Said with Li Meier.

"This is too big a matter. I don't think my mother will agree to it. Besides, don't you still have to take a test for fame in the future? It's not good to be a businessman." Li Mei'er was a little timid at the moment, and said weakly.

"I didn't say that my name should be written on the shop." Jiang Shanqing said indifferently.

"Then who is it?" Li Meier was still a little dazed, seeing Jiang Shanqing staring at her, she opened her eyes and pointed at herself and asked, "Me?"

Jiang Shanqing immediately had an expression of "you're not too stupid".

"No! No! How can I take your things!" Li Meier quickly waved her hand to refuse, how could he accept such a valuable thing.

"I didn't give it to you, but I just asked you to keep it temporarily. Could it be that you are still greedy for my things?" Jiang Shanqing paid, and I really believed in you.
