Chapter 67 Illiterate
Their talents were far inferior to Chu Ying's.

"If you don't come from a powerful family, how can you have the opportunity to study?" Lao Song dialed the abacus and reconciled the account book with one hand.

"Miss, if you were born as a country girl, you would be illiterate now."

Xiao Ning frowned, as if a thorn had grown in his heart.

Rich people can read and write, and get fame.No matter how talented the poor are, they will be drowned in the vast crowd because they have no money to go to school.

If the future courtiers are all narrow-minded people like Mr. Chen, it will be a disaster for the people of the world.

This is too sad.

"Old Song, how about we open a bookstore?" Xiao Ning had a flash of inspiration, and thought about it again.

The sound of the abacus stopped abruptly, and Song Ading raised his eyes in surprise.

"Think about it, there are so many poor children in the world who can't read and can't read. If we open a bookstore for them to preach and learn, they will have a future, and they will have to repay us." The more Xiao Ning talked, the more he felt about this matter. feasible.

With the business of the Song Family Restaurant, any one month's surplus is enough for a hundred children to study for a year.

"We can open a bookstore, and then open a college. No matter the poor, the high or the low, everyone can participate. The poor children in the college charge five copper coins for tuition each, and find a master to teach them how to read and write. The bookstore buys some rare classics and history collections for five cents. It is for them to watch for half an hour at will, no borrowing is allowed, and everyone can read various books."

Song Ading frowned with his beard, thoughtfully.

"It's okay to lose money. Our business is booming now, and there will always be people who are jealous. If we do something good, we can silence some people in the future. Besides, if we do something good, the reputation of the Song Family Restaurant will also be ruined." It's getting louder and louder, and it's also a kind of publicity for business." Xiao Ning couldn't wait to implement his own trick, this passage completely convinced Song Ading, and nodded: "Yes, if the business is successful, some colleagues will want to make trouble and lose money You can earn fame by doing something good."

His eyes lit up, and he pointed a big finger at his young lady.

"Miss, why didn't I realize that you are a business genius!"

Xiao Ning raised his eyebrows and smiled, chic and brisk.

"It's not a trivial matter to open a bookstore and academy. Miss, why don't you go back and discuss with the fourth prince. He has participated in the political affairs of the court and China before, so he might have some good suggestions." As a layman, Song Ading didn't want to wander around like a headless chicken.

Xiao Ning thought about it again. Although the academy can be opened with money, how to run it is another science: "That's right, I'll go to him right now. You can calculate the profit surplus for this month and tell me a budget."

She went back to Song's house in a carriage.

Si Ruiyan is practicing sword in the backyard, and his body has recovered to a good degree. As long as there are no other accidents, the wounds on his body will heal and heal.

"Academy?" He listened to Xiao Ning's unrestrained thoughts that day, his eyes suddenly became as cold as ice, "Is it for that disciple?"

Xiao Ning was startled, what is this all about.

"What are you thinking about? He is not such a spineless person, otherwise he would not have been kicked out from Prince Yin's Mansion. I opened the academy because I don't want people like Mr. Chen to be popular and bury people who are poor."

Si Ruiyan remained silent, with suspicion still in his eyes.

"If you don't believe me, then I'll leave this academy to you to take care of." Xiao Ning didn't want to make money either, since Lao Song said he has experience, it's best to leave it to him.

Si Ruiyan hesitated for a while, then said coldly, "Okay, you said it."

Xiao Ning was taken aback by this promise, he said it was considered a promise?

Just a moment ago, he suspected that he was using power for personal gain, but now he said that he would hand over the academy to him.

This academy bookstore is superfluous to him, how could he agree?

Xiao Ning didn't open his mouth to ask, is this wooden man willing to help him? If she talks more and asks more, maybe he will regret it in the next second.

The next day, a graceful woman with a face like a lotus came to the restaurant.

"My concubine's name is Rou Niang, and she was recommended by the fourth prince to assist the second lady." Rou Niang blessed her body, with slender shoulders and thin waist, elegant and decent.

When such a charming woman appeared in the restaurant, all the guests' eyes fell on her, and the food and drinks in their mouths became dull.

Seeing her so charming, Xiao Ning felt a little strange.

Si Ruiyan didn't want to help her, so he deliberately sent a pretentious woman over to scare her off.

But with Si Ruiyan's uncompromising temperament, he will definitely do what he promises.If he doesn't want to help, he can just refuse directly.

"Upstairs please." Xiao Ning invited people upstairs first.

If you want to become a helper of the academy bookstore, you have to go to the interview no matter what.

It turned out that this Rou Niang was the daughter of a scholarly family, because the brothers in the family were playful and lost their ambitions, which led to the decline of the family.She was taken in by kind relatives, and she became an accountant in the school with the abacus she learned since she was a child.

"Then how did you meet the fourth prince?" Xiao Ning knew that she was not from the capital, so she must be from another place.

Si Ruiyan has been in the capital since she was sent here as a proton, so she will never have the chance to meet her.

"Second Miss is very concerned?" Rou Niang had a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"Just asking casually." Xiao Ning turned his head away, and just now felt for a moment that this woman's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Since you already know each other, it doesn't matter how you know each other.If Si Ruiyan really liked her, she would have nothing to do if the two of them kept secret.

"If Second Miss wants to open a bookstore, the first thing she should do is to hire a scholar who is both famous and talented." Rou Niang cut to the point.

"The price should not be too cheap at the beginning of the business, otherwise a large number of people will flood in and the supply will be in short supply. There can only be two or three rare books at most. If there are ten young masters fighting, it will inevitably lead to conflicts. When something happens and the price is raised, it will be lost. reputation."

I heard that Young Master Huo in Nancheng covered the sky with his hands and was not close to others; but he clearly held her in the palm of his hand and regarded her as a treasure.I also heard that Huo Ershao was weak and sick, disfigured and disabled; bah!She has superb medical skills, and she will definitely be able to cure him. The 75th early expert advice can always name and confidential, and hit the nail on the head.

Xiao Ning could not help admiring Rou Niang when she heard that she spoke clearly and logically.

I thought she was a coquettish woman, but I didn't expect that she had a strategy in her chest.

"Then according to the girl, how should the initial business price be set?" Xiao Ning was somewhat interested in her opinion.

Without thinking, Rou Niang said with a smile: "Jing Shi Zi Ji, the price of each book is different. The cost of reading a book in the bookstore must not exceed the price of the book, and it must be far cheaper. It is beneficial If there are good pictures, the customers will continue to flow.”

She glanced at a book of business on the cabinet, and said with a smile: "For example, the book on the cabinet of the second lady is sold for [-] Wen in the market bookstore. If you spend a whole day reading it, it will cost you three You can read it in just one day. Then the price of reading this book once can’t exceed ten cash.”

If you buy a book for [-] Wen and read it for [-] Wen, then the students who read the book will save [-] Wen.For the children of poor families, this is three to five days of food.

"Miss is in the restaurant business, so she can give a bowl of porridge or a bowl of noodles to people who come to read the book. The children from poor families can enjoy small favors and read books cheaply. In this way, there will be no worries about no customers." Rou Niang With a smile on his face, his voice is neither slow nor slow.

Xiao Ning didn't know what to say anymore, everything he said really hit the point.
