Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Boss Lin has been in a mess for the past few days, mainly because the book "Journey to the West" has sold too much, and Su Mu's writing is too slow.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as copyright. If a new book of yours comes out, if it sells well, it will only take a few days, and countless pirated copies will come out to grab your market.

Therefore, one or two editions of a book may sell well, but when the third edition comes out, the editions of other bookstores will not be able to sell.

Therefore, for the operation of this book, Boss Lin is playing with the time difference.Try to use the shortest time to spread out the books and return the funds as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, because it is serialized, I am not afraid of the bad money effect.

The initiative is mine.

To the reader, it doesn't matter who is the original, it's all the same anyway.

The problem is that Linjiashufang's books are in a hurry, and the quality of binding and printing is also sloppy.On the contrary, because pirated books don't need to compete for the market, they put a lot of effort into paper and printing.Not to mention the exquisite printing, famous artists were invited to make illustrations inside, and some books were also made of cotton cloth as book covers, making them extremely valuable for collection, and more like genuine editions than genuine ones.

These days, Su Mu's manuscripts were written slowly, and gradually, the sales of pirated books caught up.

There are only so many points in the market, and if others earn more, the Lin family's study will get less.

In fact, it is easy to occupy the market, all you need is to keep urging Su Mu's manuscripts.

However, Su Mu is now facing the big exam of the college entrance examination.Boss Lin was originally a scholar, so he naturally knew the meaning of fame to a student, but he was embarrassed to say it when the words came to his lips.

I can only sit in the bookstore and feel depressed secretly.

Seeing Su Mu coming to the door, Boss Lin jumped up: "Zi Qiao, are you here to deliver the manuscript?"

His eyes were full of eager light. After seeing Su Mu smiling and shaking his head, Boss Lin was discouraged and sat down on the chair again.

"What's the matter, so lack of energy?" Su Mu knew what Boss Lin was thinking about, and said without saying anything, "I came here today to ask Mr. Lin about something."

"Zi Qiao, please tell me."

"Does the old gentleman have a spacious terrain under his name?"

"Instead, I just bought a house. The big courtyard with three entrances is very spacious. Why, if Ziqiao wants to buy property, I can transfer some properties to you."

Su Mu shook his head, buying property now, isn't that looking for a bite from the hungry wolves in the family?

"By the way, let me ask the old man, are there any outstanding celebrities in Baoding Shilin?"

"There are no great people, and Baoding is not a place where Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the two capitals, Jiangxi, and Chengdu gather together. Regardless of the size of the place, there have been no Jinshi for more than 20 years. The bitter cold in the north, even the In a big port like Baoding, a first-class family can’t compare to an ordinary gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Reading is a costly thing, and without money to support it, this book can’t be read.” Boss Lin sighed for a long time , Said: "If you talk about the celebrities in Baoding, Ziqiao, your father is one, but unfortunately he passed away early. The masters of the Futai and the county are also counted. The academic officials of the Fuxue Yamen are well-learned, and Mr. Shao is also very famous. Other than that, there aren't many characters... By the way, Ziqiao, you are quite famous recently!"

Su Mu shook his hand: "What am I, Su Mu? Now there is one thing that needs Mr. Lin's help. If you do it well, you may get a few hundred taels."

"A few hundred taels... Cough, it's a big deal, Zi Qiao, you can write a few more words." Boss Lin has made a lot of money on "Journey to the West" now, so he doesn't take a few hundred taels seriously.

Su Mu: "Don't underestimate the few hundred taels. It may not be a big deal to you, but it is a big sum to ordinary people. Besides, this matter is also very important to me, Su Mu and Mr. Shao."

Boss Lin cheered up: "Since it's about Mr. Shao and Ziqiao, the little old man can't help but dare not refuse, so let's talk."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to take advantage of your spacious location to set up a school. Isn't it going to be the college entrance examination soon? Why don't you ask Mr. Shao to hold a class to give general lessons to candidates who intend to take the imperial examination. That's it, Su Mu can also ask Mr. Shao for advice."

The idea of ​​Su Mu came from various pre-examination cram schools in later generations. In later generations, exam-oriented education has been developed to the extreme. Whether it is college entrance examination, TOEFL, English, or even training for overseas personnel, there is a whole set of procedures. This is the so-called education industry. melt it.

No matter what kind of cram school, according to Su Mu's observation, it seems that the business is very hot.

Later on, there are even inexplicable classes such as addiction recovery.

There was even a weird incident where all the candidates were gathered together before the college entrance examination, and locked up in a small mountain village that didn't shit.

After all, Boss Lin is a scholar, he thought it was a good thing, and because of Su Mu's face and Mr. Shao's name, he agreed casually.As for raising the share of the account, he didn't take it too seriously.Promise, as long as the tuition fee is received, the account will be divided in fours, threes, and threes. Mr. Shao will get [-]%, and he and Su Mu will get [-]%.

Soon, the verbal agreement was settled.

But Boss Lin is a businessman after all, after talking for a long time, he reminded Su Mu to submit the manuscript without any trace, and suddenly his heart was agitated, and he lost his voice: "This idea is good, this is just a small test, Mr. Shao The reputation is not very big. But if you set up such a cram school before the township exam, would you even try it? At that time, if you invite a few famous people all over the world, and even a bachelor from the Imperial Academy, then...the money you can earn will be huge go."

Su Mu smiled and said: "Above the provincial examination, you really have to invite real famous scholars or university scholars to attract students. But Boss Lin, have you ever thought about it, whoever is famous today is not in a high position, you and I are just Little people, how can you invite them?"

Boss Lin was discouraged all of a sudden, and sighed: "Yes, Mr. Shao's knowledge is naturally correct. But his reputation is only limited to Baoding Prefecture, and he is not a Jinshi, so he can only do small things and run a class. It seems that if this business is going to continue, it will only have to wait for the day when you, Zi Qiao, become a Jinshi in high school and become famous all over the world. At that time, I can make money under your banner."

Su Mu: "The old man really thinks highly of me, and Su Mu is not sure that he can get the fame of a scholar."

"Hehe." Boss Lin thought about it, and it was true, he said, "However, this time I really want to use Ziqiao to promote it. You are a student of Mr. Shao, and you only read a book under Mr. Shao's Yueshu even won two first names. When others see it, ah, Mr. Shao is so good at teaching students, you really have to come to this cram school."

Su Mu: "How you want to publicize is up to you, as long as Mr. Shao is not angry."

"How could it be that Mr. Shao devoted his whole life to culture and education, and it's too late for him to be happy about running such a class, so how could he blame you and me?"

Sure enough, as Boss Lin expected, the next day, when he heard from Su Mu that Boss Lin was willing to pay for the school and asked him to tutor the boys who were about to learn, he immediately nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, I will go to other places now. The local teaching halls are nothing more than enlightening children. Most of the children who can participate in the college examination have passed the ten-year sweating window, and many of them are quite talented. It is easy for us to be teachers if we teach such students. Pleasure. As for Shuxiu, it doesn't matter, after this month, I can earn two or three taels."

In fact, the incomes of the scholars who teach boys are not very high, and many of them only have one or two taels of silver a month.It's not for nothing that poor scholar, sour scholar, and Mrs.

Su Mu secretly laughed in his heart: Mr. Shao has been poor all his life, and he still doesn't know how much an excellent teacher is worth in future generations.In the economically developed regions of Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Hangzhou, a senior teacher in a key middle school can earn more than one million yuan without any pressure in a year.Teacher, just wait until you get cramps when you count the money!

Su Mu has strong confidence in the promotion ability of Boss Lin, an old mall ghost.

In the next two days, Boss Lin did not disappoint Su Mu.
