Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 134 The Choice Between Two Scumbags

This year's summer heat is much hotter than previous years. At night, the dormitory is stuffy and hot, like a steamer, making it impossible to sleep.

Many students slept in the yard with mats between them, but soon they couldn't stand the mosquito bites and had to return to the dormitory.

The dormitory was very quiet, except for Duan Yu's soft snoring. He was relatively weak, so the heat had little effect on him.

"Fan Ning, are you asleep?" Su Liang asked in a low voice from the other side of the screen.

"can not fall asleep!"

Fan Ning was sleepy and hot, and said weakly: "I feel like I'm sweating when I speak!"

"Why don't we go to sleep on the balcony of Qinxue Building! Many people went to sleep yesterday, saying that it is cooler there because of the strong wind."

Fan Ning thought for a while, turned over and sat up and said, "Let's go! Go to Qinxue Building."

The two put on their clothes, each wrapped a roll of bamboo mats, brought a pot of herbal tea, and left the dormitory to go to the Qinxue building.

"Fan Ning, do you think you really know how to take the exam?" Su Liang asked in a low voice not long after he walked out of the dormitory.

"This is my own judgment. You can prepare properly. If you don't take the test, it won't hurt you much."

Su Liang sighed and said, "I've thought about it. The topic of persuading farmers is actually not an uncommon topic. Everyone knows a little bit and can write an article. But if you want to write a high-level Articles, you have to spend time and energy to understand them in depth.”

"During our study tour at the beginning of the year, Dong Kun and the others also spent a lot of energy investigating this aspect. You can take a look at the information they compiled." Fan Ning suggested with a smile.

"It's still not enough. After all, it's just information. Many things must be experienced by yourself. I plan to take a few days off after the county exam to help my aunt's family harvest wheat and experience the hard work of farmers."

Fan Ning patted his arm, he could feel the contradiction in Su Liang's heart, on the one hand, he felt that his bet had no basis, it was just a random guess.

On the other hand, he had more trust in himself, but he finally accepted his bet and was willing to spend time and energy preparing for this topic.

In contrast, Duan Yu doesn't want to spend too much energy on his bets.

Among the eight people, Fan Ning was most worried about Ming Ren and Ming Li.

Facts have proved that Zhang Ruoying's initial worry was not wrong. These two people are really not material for studying, and they are the last two in every exam. Even the second uncle is discouraged by them.

Fan Ning believed that even if he told them all the solutions to the test questions, they would still fail the test. The calligraphy alone was enough to eliminate them.

The two came to the Qinxue Building. The Qinxue Building is a three-story building. There is a wooden terrace on the second floor. Every summer when it is the hottest, the terrace is full of students who come here to enjoy the cool and sleep.

At this moment, the balcony was already full of students lying in disorder. Fan Ning and Su Liang found an empty seat, spread out the mats, and just as they lay down, they heard familiar cries.

"The most practical tent mosquito net, mosquitoes can't bite, sleep soundly, exclusive supply!"

"Thirty of them were sold yesterday. They are cheap and affordable, and they will be gone when they are sold out."

I saw Ming Ren and Ming Li walking over with a tent that looked like a big pot, and people kept asking the price, "How much is a tent?"

"Two pennies, no counter-offer!"

"It's too expensive. It only costs three hundred Wen to buy a mosquito net. You actually need two pennies for this shabby tent?"

"Then you old man, go on sleeping! See if you can last until midnight."

"Mosquito nets for tents, exclusive sale, worry-free in summer!"

Fan Ning was really angry and funny. How could these two guys have such brilliant business minds? If they could put a little bit of their minds into studying, their grades would not be so bad.

From the point of view of business, the courage and brains of the two brothers are indeed unmatched. At the beginning of the year of their study tour, the two bought two boxes of large Japanese pearls from Yin County, and sold them in Pingjiang Mansion, each earning 200 taels of silver.

Moreover, when they passed the tax card in Xiuzhou, they used the cover of their identity as a study tour to carry two boxes of spices for a businessman to pass the customs.

Fan Ning felt that he already knew how to do business, but compared with their pervasive business experience, he was still far behind.

"You two!"

Fanning waved to them, "How do you sell your tent?"

"Yo! Ah Ning is here too."

The two smiled and sat down on Fan Ning's mat, and handed the tent mosquito net to Fan Ning, "This tent is really useful, try it for two days first, and then buy it when it works well."

Fan Ning looked at the so-called tent. It was actually supported by a few thin bamboo sticks, but it was very delicately made. It looked like a large upside-down bathtub. As long as the edges were pressed properly, mosquitoes would not be able to fly in. It has the same effect as the tent mosquito net of later generations.

But calculating the cost, it was only two or three hundred Wen at most, but these two unscrupulous guys actually wanted to sell it for two pennies.

"The tent is nice, where did you get it?" Fanning asked with a smile.

Mingren looked to both sides, and said in a low voice: "This thing is called a mosquito-proof tent. We saw someone using it on the boat, so we inquired about it. Pingjiang Mansion didn't sell it, but it was sold in a small county in Xiuzhou, so we went to it specially. Buy five hundred pieces."

"How much did you sell?"

"There are almost 370 mosquito nets. Not only the county school, but other schools are also selling well. We plan to buy another thousand mosquito nets in a few days and expand the sales. In one summer, we will sell three thousand mosquito nets just for this mosquito net. money."

"How much money does that make?"

The two brothers looked at each other, and they said in unison: "This can't be said, business secret!"

Fan Ning glared at them, "Did you forget that there will be an important exam on the [-]th of this month, and you don't want to take the imperial exam?"

"There is no problem in the county exam, and we guarantee that there will be no delay. Our goal is not high, and we will be satisfied with the title of scholar."

Annoyed, Fan Ning picked up a book, rolled it into a book tube, and slapped each of them hard on the head, "The thing I regret most now is that I shouldn't help you get into the county school, you two bastards My face is all lost!"

The two people's skins were thicker than a city wall, Ming Li took out a medicine gourd from his bosom, shook it, and said with a smile: "Here are regret medicines for sale, it's not expensive, it's [-] cents a pill, would you like one? "

Fan Ning was angry and funny, and even sold regret medicine, what kind of people are these two!
"I can't do anything with you, forget it, the mosquito net is good, five hundred Wen, sell me one."

The two brothers discussed it, and Mingren said: "You old man wants a mosquito net, we can give you one, if you want to spend money to buy it, sorry, two pennies, no bargaining!"

"This mosquito net of yours must earn at least ten times the huge profit!" Su Liang beside him said dissatisfiedly.

The two brothers didn't blush, their hearts didn't beat, and they said eloquently: "Scarcity is the most expensive thing, and we are the only ones selling it in Pingjiang Mansion. Of course, we have to sell it at a high price. It is estimated that there will be floods next year. If you can earn a little, count it!"

Fan Ning didn't care about the high price of the other party. He could think of using tent mosquito nets to solve the mosquito infestation. This price itself contains a kind of intellectual property rights, which cannot be considered in terms of cost, and it should be expensive.

What Fan Ning was worried about was their attitudes towards reading. Could it be that they really wanted to give up the imperial examinations for the sake of doing business?
Fan Ning felt that he should have a good talk with the two of them. Although he didn't have time today, he should at least understand their attitudes.

"You two, come and sit down!"

"Come right away, wait a little bit!"

The two already had a business, and several students were so unbearable to be bitten by mosquitoes that they were willing to pay a high price for their mosquito nets.

In just a short while, the two sold seven or eight tent mosquito nets. Seeing that no one bought them for the time being, the two sat down cross-legged on the Fanning mat with a smile on their faces.

"Brother, what teachings do we have to learn with an open mind, as the ancients said, it is enough to hear the Tao in the evening and die in the morning!" The two said with playful faces.

Fan Ning said coldly: "If you really don't want to talk about it, I will invite my second uncle and second aunt to talk about it tomorrow!"

The two looked at each other, they knew that Fan Ning was really angry, so they calmed down and didn't dare to smile anymore.

"From the time when the two of you entered the school to the present, there are more than 100 students in our class, and the two of you have always firmly occupied the last two places. Even Dashou has entered the top [-], but you have not made any progress.

According to past records, half of the students will fail the county school exam in June. If you fail the county school exam, how will you face your parents and give me an explanation? "

Mingren muttered in a low voice, "The county exam is only five days away, no matter how hard you try, it will be too late!"

"Yeah! There are only five days left, there is still no time, it is meaningless to say these words!"

Fan Ning said meaningfully: "It may be too late to say now, so I hope you two will think about your own future and how to explain to your parents while happily making money?"

Mingren and Mingli walked downstairs listlessly. People kept buying tents from them along the way, and they didn't have the heart to deal with them.

Su Liang laughed softly: "It seems that they were really hit, you didn't consider their feelings!"

Fan Ning sighed and said, "Since the beginning of the year, I've been beating them every now and then, and they've never heard of it. Now there are only five days left, so what's the use of being anxious?"

Mingren and Mingli walked downstairs, they sat on the steps in a daze, Mingli said in a low voice: "It seems that I can't explain if I failed the county exam, the special plan we discussed last time, I think it can be used."

Mingren nodded, "You're right, a man doesn't care about trifles, and special methods are needed at special times. I remember that there is a damage in the back window of Zhang Jiaoyu's study, and our chance is there!"
