The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 59 Mr. Fujino
The unit price of newspapers and magazines is relatively cheap.When Mr. Zhang Yueping drew Sanmao's Wanderings, he said that Sanmao sold one newspaper for four copper coins, and sold two newspapers, which was cheaper, seven copper coins.

Seven copper coins, if you eat sparingly, can feed a family for a few days.In the most prosperous Shanghai stock market, a bowl of Yangchun noodles is only about two copper coins.

During the period of the Republic of China, the advertising space on newspapers gradually increased.In the late Qing Dynasty, there were not many advertisements in newspapers.Therefore, the unit price of a newspaper is also extremely high, at least not something ordinary people can afford.

The Four Books and Five Classics have been printed in huge quantities since ancient times, and the block printing is extremely skillful and the content is fixed. Therefore, the price of a set of Four Books and Five Classics can be kept extremely low.

Generally speaking, block printing is cheaper than movable type printing.

Most of the newspapers and periodicals at this time were typeset with movable lead type by hand, which was understandably expensive unlike the printers of later generations.

"It's just a newspaper subscription!"

Seeing Bai Gui's hesitation, Zhai Fu also smiled and said gently.

Three silver dollars is not a small amount of money at this time.

"If you're shy for a while, the money doesn't matter. I also have some jobs as helpers here. I can introduce it to you. The cost of ordering newspapers can also be reduced..."

Saif said.

In higher schools like theirs, there is generally no shortage of money, and what is short is big money, and some small money to help students is not short.However, the newspaper subscription fee is expensive after all, and can only be reduced by working as a helper in the academy.In addition, if academies like them order newspapers, they also purchase in large quantities and have certain bargaining power.

He knew that Bai Gui's one-year tuition fee was waived when he came here.

Just by looking at his clothes, he doesn't look like a kid from a rich family.

"No shortage! No shortage!"

Bai Gui took out three Longyang coins from the bag, which were exchanged at the pawn shop.

Now most places in the provincial capital use silver dollars, and the old silver dollars are a bit inconvenient, especially in new places like colleges and universities.Therefore, the monthly tuition fee also needs to be converted into silver dollars by the students, and then paid in the Zhai Dormitory.

So when he came to the provincial capital, he went to the nearby pawn shop to exchange the silver taels he carried with him into silver dollars.

The price of silver in the later generations is cheap, so he randomly took a silver dollar to exchange for silver in the later generations, and the number of silver dollars in his hand became more and more.

But after doing it a few times, he gave up.

Although colleagues are enemies, most of the pawnshops are arrogant, otherwise how did the guild come about?

Zhai Fu was surprised for a while, and then put away the silver dollars.

He took out the roster from the lacquered table, took a wool pen for writing in lowercase letters, and handed it to Bai Gui.

Bai Gui opened the roster, and there were blue horizontal grids on it, but unlike later generations, there was no information to be filled in on the first vertical grid or horizontal grid, and he filled it out by himself.

The lower script was dipped in ink, and he began to write with a brush. He asked while writing, "May I ask what are the textbooks for teaching the Japanese crash course? Are they issued by the school, or do I need to go to the book store to buy them separately?"

"I don't quite understand this matter, I will take you to Shiwuzhai later, you can ask your classmates and you will know."

Saifu replied.

"Then...thank you very much."

He stopped writing, rubbed his wrists, and Bai Gui finished writing his message.

Zhai Fu frowned slightly when he saw the handwriting, the words on the book were neat, but a little rigid, and persuaded him: "You still need to practice more on your calligraphy."

"This..., thank you for reminding me, late students must practice calligraphy more."

Bai Gui blushed slightly, and was about to argue, but soon fell silent, and thanked Zhaifu instead.

Although Zhaifu is only equivalent to the teaching staff of the school of later generations, assisting in the management of the students and dormitories of the normal school.But who said that the teaching staff are weaker than the students in some places, and calligraphy is not necessarily better than Zhaifu.

You must know that the Normal School is a Confucian Temple near the provincial capital, where there are many steles, and most of the calligraphers of the past dynasties have left authentic works there. Zhaifu is better at writing than him, so it may really be true...

I can only secretly think that I will practice more in the future, handwriting is like character, and when I send greeting cards to some big boss in the future, I am afraid that I will ignore my handwriting if I see that my handwriting is too bad.A good handwriting can also make others look up to it.

"You... have only been in school for five or six months?"

Zhaifu couldn't help but carefully observed the handwriting on the roster again, and said, "Could it be that you made a mistake, you wrote the year instead of the month, please change it again."

"To tell you the truth, old man, I did not go to school for less than a year. But I am good at memorizing, and I almost have the ability of photographic memory, so although the school days are short, what I have gained is like a few years."

Bai Gui said very humbly, and there was a bit of youthful spirit and self-confidence in his words.

When writing the roster, he was a little hesitant to write it down truthfully, but he quickly made up his mind and wrote it down truthfully. Zishui County is not far from the normal school, so he can find out after a little inquiring.

Although people are always used to lying, they generally hope that their children will tell the truth.Just like 24 filial piety, it completely eliminates any possibility of children being unfilial due to some unkindness of their parents.

Writing fake ones is equivalent to having a stain.

Zhai Fuzai stared at Bai Gui carefully, took a deep breath, and suppressed the unrest in his heart. He is also familiar with poetry and books, and knows that there are some geniuses from ancient times to the present. The work is better than the work of others in a year.

It's just that he looked at Bai Gui with a lot of warmth, and it wasn't condescending, it was just special care for some promising juniors, "Come on, I'll take you to dinner first, and I'll give it to you later." You pick a room for you to stay in."

The two walked along the corridor to the West Garden of the Normal School, which is a place for students to rest.

As for the east corridor, it is the residence of the lecturer.

At this time, it happened to be meal time, and the students who were in school hadn't finished class yet, or they were on their way to the cafeteria.

Zhai Fu prepared meals for the two of them, and sat down on the table in the dining hall.

There is nothing to be polite, Bai Gui came from the inn early in the morning, and he was also very hungry. He didn't have time to eat breakfast in the morning. Looking at the steamed snow-white steamed buns and a plate of fried potato shreds, he chewed and ate a mouthful of vegetables With steamed buns, I took a bite of rice porridge.

There was also a small plate of braised pork on the table, and he just picked up two chopsticks at the right time.

"Eat slowly, you young people, you don't know how to pay attention to your stomach when you are young, but when you are old, you will know the pain!"

Saifu chewed slowly.

During the meal, the dining hall was filled with people in less than a stick of incense.

"Mr. Fujino, this is a new Japanese crash course student. Excuse me, what kind of textbooks do the students in your class buy?" Saio was eating when he suddenly saw a middle-aged man in a straight dungaree suit leaving. When he came over, he got up, invited him to the same table, and asked him.

　Thank you for the 200 starting coins rewarded by Ruri Chujian, the 100 starting coins rewarded by w Wangmengren, and the 20190226153151894 starting coins rewarded by book friend 100.There are also 100 book coins for changing rewards, 100 starting coins for rewards that never swear, and 100 book coins for rewards when life is really boring.
