Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 75 Lianxi Academy
Shen Chenlan said: "Exactly."

The shopkeeper here didn't wait for him to answer, so he flipped through the pages one by one.

The writing is neat, without a trace of extra ink.

There are rows of thin lowercase letters, unique in style, not only can you read without hindrance, but just looking at the characters is a kind of enjoyment.

The shopkeeper looked through the few books below, and without exception, they were all perfect replicas.

The shopkeeper was very satisfied, so he hired a clerk to proofread all the copied books, and if there were no typos, he would settle the money together.

The little guy started to proofread non-stop when he was recruited by the shopkeeper.

This guy has worked in the bookstore for more than ten years, among other things, he has seen a lot of good-looking characters.

It's okay if the number of words in the copied book is small, but once the number of words is too large, it will be so overwhelming that he can't read it at the end of the copy. He has seen a lot.

But the book copied by this scholar, no matter the front or back, the direction of each word is exactly the same!
This man... was born to copy books!

The clerk didn't dare to slack off, if he made a mistake in copying a word, he would have to deduct money. Generally speaking, if he copied several copies in a row, one of them must have a wrong word.

But when he read the books, he didn't see the typo. Instead, he saw that the reading man played steadily, and his good handwriting was fully displayed, which made people feel comfortable.

"Shopkeeper, there is no typo." The clerk read ten books and double-checked that there were no typos before going back to tell the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper nodded, and told the buddy to order some money.

For these ten books, there are 15 taels for copying the books, plus the one tael deposit paid up front, a total of 16 taels will be given to others.

There have always been rumors among the folks that reading books can make a living for the whole family by copying books. As long as they can write well, the saying "serving books to support parents" is true.

The shopkeeper looked at the ten reprinted copies. He sold this rare copy for at least five taels of silver, and now he has more than doubled the profit.

He smiled and said: "Does Shen Shulang still have time to copy books? I still have a few books here. If you don't need them urgently, you can hand them in after three months."

If there is a business, it is natural to do it, but before he couldn't guarantee that he would come to Zhaohe Town every month, so he thought that he would not copy books at all this time.

15 taels of silver can take a long time.

I bought some stationery last time, but I haven't used it up yet, so I don't need to buy any more this time.

Since it will be handed in three months later, he can also copy it slowly.

"Okay, thanks to the shopkeeper's care." Shen Chenlan said.

"Shen Shuyun is being polite." The shopkeeper waved another clerk to look for a book, and then he said, "However, Yao is a little curious. Since Shen Shuyun is going to take the exam, why not move to the town and study in a private school, where the master mentioned Wouldn't it be better for Shen Shulang to figure it out by himself at home?"

He didn't know anyone well last time, and he didn't mention it.

After all, if you go to a private school in the town, you have to pay at least two taels of Shu Xiu, which is a big expense for ordinary scholars.

But Shen Shulang spent 15 taels for copying books. If he really wanted to go to a private school, Shu Xiu could afford it for a mere two taels.

What's more, he saw that Shen Shulang didn't really care about the two taels of silver.

Shen Chenlan was stunned when he heard the words, and then said frankly: "It's okay not to go to a private school now. Wouldn't it be better to go to Lianxi Academy after being admitted as a scholar?"

Scholars in Zhaohe town all know that private schools are only for most scholars or the last Jinshi, and the masters who can't wait to be dispatched by officials open their own schools, which are not considered serious schools.

However, Lianxi Academy is the academy where all the scholars who have been admitted to the scholar must go to study. To a certain extent, it belongs to the government school.

Ordinary private schools, compared with Lianxi Academy, stand out from each other.
