Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 691 Come to visit the prison

Liu Ya motioned for her to speak, and Xiao Shu'er stepped aside.Liu Ya said: "Boss, I really want to give this book to you. In fact, the reason you said just now is that books are not easy to sell, and they are prone to mildew. Our family has a small workshop. I bought hundreds of copies, and I can’t sell them all at once, so I brought it to you for help, and gave it to those scholars for free, don’t they want it?”

This time, the boss of the study understood and believed it, so he kindly persuaded him: "Yes, of course I want it. But little girl, you have thought about it, and giving away these books for nothing is really charging a little bit of money." Not coming back."

Liu Ya shook her head and smiled, and said, "Boss, do you buy books without reading them?"

The owner of the study said: "That's not true. The books on the bookshelves are all casually browsed by the customers. If there are good ones, they will be brought to checkout, and if they don't like it, they will be put down. would mind."

"That's it." Liu Ya said: "My book is also for the guests to browse at will. It's just for the guests to take it home and read it slowly. When delivering the book, please tell the boss one more word, just say this The book has not been finished yet, and the follow-up ones will also be sold in your study. If customers like it, they will come to you to buy it in the future."

The boss hurriedly asked: "Little girl, are your follow-up books really sold here?"

"Of course." Liu Ya nodded and assured her: "Boss, don't worry, I'm very particular about business, so I'll come to you first, so I'll sell it next to you first. If this book sells well in the future In order to get more people to buy, I will not just put it in other bookstores or studies. However, I would like to ask the boss to promote it more, and don’t let those scholars spoil the free books. They don’t like to read it, but it’s okay. Send it back, and send it to someone else."

When the boss heard this, he knew that this business was still profitable.Because you don't need to spend any money, it just occupies a place on the bookshelf.If you say one or two more words, some people may come to buy it if they are optimistic about it. This is really a no-cost business.

This time, the boss of the study had a big smile on his face, and said: "Little girl, since you said so, I will keep all ten books."

Liu Ya said: "Of course, boss, you are an enthusiastic person. You must give it to good customers for me to have a look. If you feel that ten copies are not enough, I will give you another twenty copies when you come next time."

"Enough is enough. I feel a little sorry for giving away ten books at once. If someone really comes back to buy a second copy, I will tell you and I will record how many copies they want. The second batch of goods From the beginning, I will settle the money for you, how about it?"

The boss offered to pay for the second purchase. It seems that Liu Ya's vision is correct, he is indeed a person who wants to do business well.It's not the kind of opportunistic businessman who just wants to take advantage at will, and doesn't think about it in the future.

After it was decided, Liu Ya took Xiao Shu'er and said goodbye.And told the owner of the study that the second book will be released within a short period of time, half a month at most, and ten days at least.So for the ten books in the first issue, the boss had to send them out as soon as possible to know how many people wanted to buy them.

After leaving the study, Xiao Shu'er asked Liu Ya, "Second Sister, how many books do you want to give away? But even if someone really comes to buy a second copy, the first local money will not be collected back. Do you still have to buy it?" deficit?"

Liu Yadao: "The first book is given away for free, of course it is a loss. But there are ten or more books in the follow-up, so it is definitely not a loss. Don't worry, the second sister knows it well, she really doesn't make money. Printing is just that, how can there be a business that refuses to invest capital."

While talking, Liu Ya didn't take Xiao Shu'er on the way back, but found a small restaurant and said, "Xiao Shu'er, you order two dishes here, we'll go back after lunch. The second sister has something to do, so go and come back."

"Second sister, are you going out?" Xiao Shu'er asked with a smile, thinking that Liu Ya was going to the toilet.

Liu Ya didn't explain much, instead she glared at Xiao Shu'er, stuffed him with two pieces of silver, and said, "Order whatever you want, don't wait for me to serve, I'll be back soon. Also, don't talk to anyone." Let's go, just wait for me to eat here, the second sister will be fine, and you don't need to listen to people telling you."

Xiao Shu'er agreed, tied up the horse and went into the restaurant.Now Xiao Shu'er is not so cramped about going to restaurants, and walks in with a big face, which is quite free and easy.

Liu Ya glanced at it, and knew that Xiao Shu'er was very smart and would not cause any trouble, let alone be easily abducted by kidnappers, so she turned around and walked quickly towards the yamen in the town.

She was still thinking about the second sister-in-law of the Wu family, so she bypassed the yamen and went directly to the prison cell behind according to the mayor's previous instructions.

Liu Ya had never been here before, but just looking at the alley surrounded by high walls on both sides, she felt depressed.It seems that everything in this cell is the same everywhere, so it's not a good place to go.

However, the prison cells in this town will definitely not be locked up by the imperial court or gangsters, but at most a few petty thieves, or ruffians who fight and cause trouble, so the prison guards at the door are only two small soldiers. He was holding a knife, but there was no nervous and serious expression on his face, but he looked a little careless.

Liu Ya walked in, and a short man on the right asked: "Little girl, you have gone the wrong way. This is a prison cell, not a fun place."

Liu Ya hurriedly blessed Fushen, and then said: "My name is Liu Ya, and I'm from Pingshan Village. Come here to see a sister-in-law in our village."

The soldier guarding the prison must have been notified by the higher-ups, so when he heard that it was "Liu Ya from Pingshan Village", he nodded and said, "Okay, come with me. But just take a look and forget it. Don’t talk too much, come out as soon as you see it.”

Liu Ya thanked repeatedly, handed over a dozen copper coins prepared in advance, and whispered: "I invite you to drink tea."

The little soldier stretched out his hand to take it, seemed quite satisfied, and said to the little soldier next to him, "Why don't you just watch at the door and let them say a few more words." After speaking, he gave half of the copper coin to that little soldier. The soldiers are gone.

The little soldier also took the copper plate and nodded in agreement.

It seems that the place where the money should be sent is the place where the money should be sent, otherwise there is no way to say a few words.

Xiaobing turned around and opened the door of the cell, and led Liu Ya in.

Dim oil lamps were lit at intervals in this cell, and it was dark and damp, with dark moss growing in the corners; there was a musty smell in the air, mixed with body odor and foul smell, and A little smell of sour rice is really not a good place to go.But it was very quiet, and I don't know if there was no one or the people here were silent.
