Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

This is a book priced at nearly four taels of silver. When a professor like Mr. Lin earns two months' income, so many people buy it, and it sells out of stock?

The news was so good that there was an unreal feeling. He could no longer hold back his calm performance, indulge himself for a while, and walked to the hall to slowly recover his calm.

The treasurer Ji also had a look dizzy by the silver, and got up with the account book to show him today's entry and exit accounts and order receipts. "Lianfanglu" sold surprisingly well. It sold more than 300 copies in just one morning. The shopkeeper was forced to stop selling it, and only managed to keep more than a hundred copies, leaving some stock for tomorrow's sale.

Even if Cui Xie personally planned the entire sales process, he painted beautiful papers, and asked those scholars to exchange papers for papers, starting from the Chongyang Poetry Club to build momentum step by step, he did not expect to sell this momentum.

He originally thought that hardcover books could sell at most two or three hundred copies like Shen Yuan's poems. He also wanted to send out the unsold ones, and then sell black and white paperbacks to seize the low-income market. The total number of copies that could be sold was thousands of copies. But as soon as it opened today, the individual customers who were queuing to buy sold more than 100 copies. Major clients such as military officers, county officials, wealthy households in this city and other places are also in an endless stream. They don't care about the price of three or two, ninety-one copies. They are all ordered locally.

If it hadn’t been for the shopkeeper to see that the sales were very good, and rejected all colleagues who wanted to help them with distribution and consignment sales, even the small 200 books would have been sold out. In the daytime, the printers and handymen rushed to work, and even Cui Jian couldn't even care about printing. Only more than a hundred sets were driven out, and together they only sold for one day.

Everyone was happy and worried.

The good news is that the entire cost of this book is only amortized and only one, two or three dollars per copy. The price is three hundred twenty-nine. When more than three hundred sets are sold during the day, the net profit is eight hundred taels. The worry is that there is not enough manpower, and the printing company can't keep up with the sellers-I can stay up for the night tonight, will I have to hurry up every day in the future?

However, compared to a few months ago, Cui Xie only had thirty taels of silver all over his body. Living in the inn was entirely dependent on the kindness of the boss. Compared with the shopkeeper, they were so poor that they could only rent out the study yard to exchange meals. A little trouble is simply happiness.

Cui Xie pondered for a while, and said to several craftsmen: "I know that people are reluctant to pass on this color printing process to outsiders, and I don't want to let the bookstore outside know about it. But any of you who have nephews or apprentices in your family who are willing to come to work in the bookstore, Just bring them over and sign a paperwork."

The craftsmen did not want their children to mix in this hopeless bookshop, but it is not what it used to be: the shop has the unique color printing technology of the two Beijing and 13 provinces, can make money, and the owner is also generous and generous. If a child can come in and work here, it would be better to work elsewhere.

They asked eagerly: "Our little boys have only practiced for a few years and can't do a lot of work. There are not so many handymen in the store, right?"

Cui Xie recalled the young craftsmen and apprentices who had been helping in the backyard these past few days, and smiled and encouraged: "The children you brought with me these days are very good, sensible and diligent. I will teach them more in the future and don’t need to hide themselves. Let them learn the skills as soon as possible, and be on their own. In the future, we will open branches in Beijing."

He is young, and when he talks about apprentices who are a few years older than him, they always look at children. But no one in the room would find this gesture ridiculous, but only thought he was old and reliable. Several craftsmen looked at each other and replied at the same time: "The son is generous, we will definitely invite sensible and capable children to our bookshop as apprentices!"

The shopkeeper Ji said unwillingly to lag behind: "My bad boy has also been outside for a few years as a trader. In the future, the books on Qian'an will almost sell, so I will ask him to run around Beijing, and he will definitely be able to give us the name of Zhirong Study. Fight in the capital!"

Cui Xie also smiled: "These are things for the future, so don't worry for now. I guess this book is just well laid out before the publicity, and customers will buy it as soon as it goes on sale. It won't be so popular in the future. You have worked harder these days. ICBC will double this month. When the limelight passes, I will give you a holiday."

=====================================

After the opening of Zhuantian Study, there was another round of panic buying.

When Cui Xie arrived at the school, he heard several seniors complain that his books were too difficult to buy. They ran away in the afternoon and ran to buy. The books in the store were sold out, so they made a trip for nothing. After complaining, I asked him if he had any books at home, and they wanted to buy directly from him.

Brother Yue, those who have already bought the book, also asked bitterly: "Are there any other big pictures in your house? My little servant is not lucky. I even bought three Huayi fairies. Can you exchange Zhang Wanning's and the female ghost for me? Arou's?"

Brother Wang leaned over and exclaimed in surprise, "You have Fairy Huayi? I have two of Taishan Goddess, do you want to change it? The picture of Brother Xie is actually sealed in a box at will. You can't pick and change it. How hard it takes to get the four pictures together!"

Several seniors who had pooled their money to buy a set also lamented that one picture was somehow divided, and they were busy changing pictures after buying four pictures that had not yet been collected.

Only Zhao Yinglin, who went into the Cui’s study last night, smiled and said nothing. Although he only accepted a picture of the demon fox Wanning, he put up the large hanging paintings in Cui Xie’s study last night. But carefully and alone, I watched it for a long time!

Soon the morning bell rang, interrupting the students' unethical communication. Mr. Lin entered the lecture hall with a book in his hand, walked his eyes to the full house of scholars, coughed lightly, and said coldly: "You have been a little impetuous these past two days. I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to what I said today. I won't talk about it anymore."

Everyone was worried, wondering if the husband also bought "Lian Fang Lu", which was addicted to them, and they are going to take a vacation today.

Naturally there is no holiday.

Mr. Lin took out two fully copied ink scrolls from the stack of books, and threw them to Yue Su, who had just been looking for someone to change his paintings, and solemnly ordered: "You come to recite the topic, and write these scriptures silently today. , Mo Yi, if there is a mistake, just wait to go back and copy the book."

The house full of joy, Piao Piaoran, waiting to continue talking about the stories in the book and exchanging portraits while waiting for the rest of the children suddenly fainted.

Although Cui Xie is a good student who doesn't talk about calligraphy and painting, today all living beings are impatient and are caused by his family's books, so he has to follow along.

Fortunately, the time he started to read was short, and the four books he memorized were still fresh. These days, he has repeatedly turned over to learn to write stereotypes, and he still remembers the classics firmly. Be careful when copying. Backspace should be backspaced, and the reading should be avoided. Write the words round and black without ink on the volume. There is no problem.

After teaching the three little Mengtongs, Mr. Lin checked their dictation along the table, and directly mentioned the ones that were wrong or defaced, asking them to go back and copy the questions hundreds of times.

I found Cui Xie in front of him and looked at the paper that was as neat as a copybook. His expression improved. He nodded slightly and said, "A scholar should look like a scholar. No matter what you have outside, just enter the school. When you see the portrait of the first master, you have to think that this is where the sages are, and you have to clean up the dirty thoughts in your intestines and lungs before you read!"

This is not only for Cui Xie, but for those students who started discussing fairy witches in the school.

The sentient beings put their heads lower, racking their brains to recall the scriptures, for fear of writing something wrong, and copying the book when they go back. Cui Xie also lowered his head and carefully wrote silently, even more afraid that his husband would remember that he had published a book to seduce the sentient beings that did not learn well.

Fortunately, Mr. Lin didn’t say anything more about this. After reading Cui Xie’s paper, he said, “You write here first and come with me. I’ll ask you, yesterday I said I would teach you to be a pair. You are prepared ?"

Yesterday... Yesterday the classmates were busy going home to read books. He was busy settling accounts with the shopkeeper. Later, he threw behind his head about the couplet that his husband was going to teach. How could he even think of this! When things came before me, I couldn’t think of it even more when I was nervous, so I had to sacrifice the universal answer: “Mr. teaches his disciples naturally to take the exam. The disciples are dull and don’t know where to start. "Class" was re-watched again, and I hope Mr. Enlightenment."

Mr. Lin smiled slightly on his face and said, "You are too shallow to learn. Of course, I teach you not to let you go out to be a child prodigy and to fight people everywhere, but to do a good job of the text in the text. , You must have a foundation in writing contrasts. The verses are layered out layer by layer. Compared with the positive and negative words, the words are neat and tidy, and the pronunciation is more beautiful."

Cui Xie recalled the first collection of essays of the county government's Taoist examination. After entering the question, the body of the text really had two relative chapters like this paragraph-the name of the stereotype probably came from this.

If he is enlightened, he nodded and asked, "Sir, is he going to teach me to do eight matches today?"

Mr. Lin said: "You have just learned how to write a few days of'starting to talk, entering the topic', and you are anxious to learn eight comparisons. The first ones are not good enough, and the latter ones are more difficult to write. In a while, I will extract the words from the four books and combine them. Sentences are written in the upper couplet, and you also extract the words and sentences from the four books. One test is that your memorization is not well-known, and the second is that the scripture text itself must be composed in a sage tone. The four books are all sages, so learn more Practice, you can write it out in the examination room."

Just take sentences from the book and put them into couplets? It's not too difficult, right? Cui Xie felt relieved, and said, "Mr. Please write the question."

Mr. Lin said: "The original and the spring are mixed."

Cui Xie broke up too many questions, and subconsciously said: "From "Mencius Li Louxia", Mencius said: The original spring is mixed, and he does not give up day and night..."

Mr. Lin waved his hand to interrupt him: "It's not for you to endorse, but for you to find out the opposite sentence from the four books."

Cui Xie hurriedly paused, thinking about how to speak.

It is very simple to make a pair of four words like this. He can answer a bunch of words like "Crescent Moon Yingying" and "Cang Cang in the Homeland" just thinking about it. But what Mr. Lin wants is not only a confrontation, but also from the Four Books.

He couldn't figure it out for a long time, and was so anxious that he almost opened the file and looked right. However, for the purpose of training memory, I still resisted this idea and repeated the recitation from "University", while memorizing it and comparing it with the four characters "Raw Spring Hunhun". When memorizing the phrase "the so-called peaceful world is governing the country", the following sentence suddenly came into my mind.

He brightened his eyes, looked up at Mr., and blurted out: "Vishiyanyan! Shiyun:'Jiebi Nanshan, Weishiyanyan'!"

Mr. Lin stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction: "That's it. It's a bit slower, but you have never touched these word games before, so this is not bad. I will leave you a few more questions. After sorting out the four books several times, you have to be so familiar that you only pick out a few words from the text, you can know which one comes from, and which word you can match. If you are familiar with these, you will test the small questions of the county road test in the future. I can't help you anymore."

He unceremoniously came up with a dozen questions. Regarding that Cui Xie was the first time practicing, all the questions were four-character and five-character questions, so he was not allowed to read books, and only used his memory to correct them.

This homework is harder than making a fuss. Cui Xie carried the four books over and over again, comparing words by word, and his face turned blue when he returned home from exhaustion. However, Cui Yuan and his son and the treasurer who stayed at home were mixed with joy and sorrow, holding account books and money and telling him that the sales this day was better than yesterday, and there are only hundreds of new products left in the family. Set of books.

——Not only did the customers who didn't squeeze yesterday line up early to buy, there are also some who bought yesterday and have to go back and buy again. They will only need four sets, and they need to add money for the buddies to help them match the four beautiful pictures!
