Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 214
Yang Shen didn't care whether his face was disfigured, so he quickly helped his old mother up and put his father on the bed, and asked the family doctor to come and see the situation.

When the doctor came to check the situation, Yang Tinghe was already awake.

"Master, madam, Mr. Ge is fine, but he has been tired recently. He was probably too excited or rushed, and fainted for a while. Just pay attention to rest."

Doctor Hu is a doctor from Yang Tinghe's hometown. Because of his excellent medical skills and his trust, Yang Tinghe followed his family when he came to Beijing.

Yang Tinghe was still weak when speaking before, but after drinking some ginseng soup, he gradually recovered.

He asked his wife to send Dr. Hu out and signaled his son Yang Shen to stay.

"Father... I, I really didn't mean to take Lin Xian'er's clothes and just forgot to pay her for a moment. Who would have thought that her daughter would spread the word. I've settled the matter..."

Yang Shen said with some guilt.

"Don't tell me those miscellaneous things. You can play, but you must also pay attention to the influence. Remember, you are the one who will enter the court in the future!"

"Father, those people don't read much and don't understand the Wei and Jin Dynasties..."

"Now it's Daming, not Wei and Jin. Talented people can be flirtatious, but they must also pay attention to propriety. Don't forget what happened to Tang Bohu! So what if he is free and flirtatious now? How is he doing? Don't look at him as uninhibited, don't care! If I can guarantee that if he enters the court, he will let go of his so-called pride and kneel and lick!"

"Father! Don't be so! Then Tang Bohu..."

"Don't mention that person to me! Prepare for the next year's exam, and Zhengshutang's business is bleak. Earlier, you invited those scholars to the bookstore for a party, and it was more lively. Now they all go to the Jinghua Bookstore. Alright, let's go on like this..."

"Father, don't worry, I've been looking for someone to hold a poetry meeting in the past two days. With your identity here, those scholars..."

"Every time you hold those poetry ceremonies, those people are just ulterior motives! And every time you spend so much money, you can't get in. You are not good at business. I have asked Huang Tong to come here. He has an idea. , you will follow along to listen later."

……

"Old man!"

Not long after the two finished talking, Huang Tong walked in.

So many things happened in the past few days, Yang Tinghe wanted Huang Tongtong to talk about things a long time ago.

Originally, after he finished training his son, he thought Huang Tong would come, and the three of them just had a discussion, but he was so angry that he fainted.

"Ge Lao, you... are you okay?"

Huang Ben was called to talk about the matter, but now seeing Yang Tinghe lying on the bed, his expression was very bad, he was a little flustered, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Zhengshutang's business has been very bleak recently, those students who used to like to gather here rarely go to them now, and the sales of their books have also dropped directly.

A few days ago, Yang Tinghe asked someone about the situation.

He could only talk about the fact that the Jinghua Bookstore and the tea house were too lively and diverted the source of customers.

There is also the "Jinghua Tabloid", which is now in Beijing, and he also suspects that it was published by Jinghua Bookstore.

Although he asked someone to investigate, the person there only said that he was in charge of printing.

And at present, due to the large printing volume, other bookstore printing factories also accept orders to help print.

"I'm fine. Today, Yongxiu just happens to be at home. Let's discuss the issue of the bookstore together. It will definitely not work like this."

"Ge Lao, the biggest reason why Jinghua Bookstore is so popular now is that they distribute and sell a large number of tabloids there, and there are also teahouses that stage scripts every week to attract different people. If we want to compete with them, unless these kinds of Let’s do business together! It’s just investing money…”

Huang Tong hesitated for a moment and said.

The boss of Jinghua has a set of business practices, such as lucky draws and membership operations, which he has never heard of.

Now their scripts are said to still be rehearsed while writing, and even revised according to audience feedback, so they will not be loved by the audience!

The weekly storybook performances have not yet started, and the tickets have been sold out.

Previously they were selling tea and watching performances.

Now there are additional tickets for performances, and the prices are different for different locations.

But because those scripts are attractive and appetizing, everyone wants to see how the ending will be, and the fare is expensive, so many people rush to buy it.

He asked someone to inquire about the situation of the owner of the Jinghua Bookstore. On the surface, it was a named owner named An Yongzhen Xiucai, and he also hired a Mr. Zhang to manage it.

But Huang Tong always felt that those two were not like the real boss.

There must be expert guidance behind it.

"What's the matter? We can also do tabloids! Look at what they publish. They are all worthless and vulgar, extremely vulgar! Father, I think we should do high-end. Father, You said that we want to attract those students and mainly scholars, I know best what these people like, so you can leave it to me!"

Yang Shen said solemnly.

"What you said is true, I also think we should also sit on the tabloids and compete with that Jinghua Bookshop, otherwise it will be too late for us to do it if they let their family dominate for too long."

In fact, Huang Tong always felt that the Jinghua tabloids were a threat to them, but he didn't know how to start. Now Mr. Yang proposed to also do tabloids, which is perfect.

In fact, Yang Tinghe doesn't like tabloids in his bones, but he is also worried that if it does too much, it will have too much influence. Even though his son is unreliable in some things, he still believes in literary talent.

Yang Tinghe still believes in doing something for literati.

So he handed over the matter of Zhengshutang to his sons Yang Shen and Huang Tong, and let them troubleshoot.

……

In the following days, Qin Shao continued to read and write.

He now spends most of his time writing articles.

For policy theory articles, Qin Shao feels that it is not very meaningful to simply publish some big theories and quote classics.

Those who can go to the later exams are basically elite talents in terms of reading.

Many people can do it in terms of citing scriptures, but in terms of data materials, there are actually many people, and it is also lacking in many people in this dynasty.

Qin Shao began to collect some material data on national policies, which took a lot of time.

One day he was looking for some books in a remote bookstore, when Wang Yin rushed over on horseback.

"Master, Mr. Wang is here. He must have something to do. He heard that you were here, and he was going to come over. I think he is getting old, so he came to call you."

Wang Yin walked into the bookstore and whispered.

Qin Shao nodded, paid for a few books, and hurried home with Wang Yin.

"Eldest son, the palace is ready. I don't know if you may be free tomorrow. Brother Yun's daughter-in-law will go to the palace to see the old concubine tomorrow. If you have time, you can go there together."

As soon as Qin Shao arrived home, Wang Tu hurried out of the guest room to preach with him.

"Sister-in-law enters the palace, so what is the proper identity for me to enter?"

Qin Shao asked in surprise.

He doesn't know much about the harem.

The harem I know is just some TV dramas in the previous life. It seems that men are not allowed to enter the harem, right?
In his situation, wouldn't he be allowed to go in disguised as a woman?

It's just that he is tall, and Wang Yun's wife is petite, so it's hard to get away with pretending to be a woman, right?
Men and women are still very different, those TV dramas are simply staring and talking nonsense.

This ancient man is ancient, isn't he stupid?

"It's fine as a servant, I can only wrong the eldest son temporarily!"

Wang Tu said directly.

"Can a man enter the harem?"
