Chapter 406 It's really lively this time

In a blink of an eye, following Mr. Yang Shuo's reprimand, a lot of life in Wu County was born.

Of course, the more important reason is that as time went by, more and more scholars lost the patience to wait, so they packed their bags early and went back.As soon as there are fewer people, right and wrong will naturally decrease a lot.

However, after experiencing these things, people instead forget the real point.

May is still unknowingly coming to an end.What is left to people is the short-lived coolness except for the faded redness of the flowers.The coming heat made people who were already a little restless now even more restless.

For Wuxian or Suzhou or even Jiangnan Shilin, this restlessness is even more obvious.

Because the long-awaited Lord Cheng Luo Yan, the so-called filial piety days are only a few days away.Thinking about seeing the true face of this person soon, some people were already very excited.

It's just that the unexpected things are far more than these.

The first day of June.

If you have to ask a fortune teller, he will definitely tell you that today is especially suitable for business opening and housewarming.If you still want to ask something, then you will be faced with a smiling face and a sentence: "Your Majesty, fortune-telling requires money."

Naturally, there are quite a few fortune tellers like this in Wuxian City, but it is not these hexagram stalls that are more lively in the city today.

Amidst the lively sound of gongs and drums, pedestrians wandering on the street were attracted to a shop front with red silk hanging on a plaque.

One look at this appearance, you know that this place is really about to open.

For such auspicious things, it is necessary to ask the host for some money.With such thoughts in mind, the crowd of onlookers became larger and larger for a while, so that the passageway was blocked, and more people were forced to stay here.

But seeing the gongs and drums beating for a long time, no one in charge came out.People gradually got a little impatient.Looking at those juggling lion dancers, he began to shout: "Juggling, what kind of shop is this?"

Just a question, suddenly the gongs and drums stopped.And those actors also stopped their movements, and stood on both sides of the shop at the same time.

"Squeak".The door of the shop was opened from the inside out, and a person walked out, which surprised many local gentry and villagers in Wu County.

What is the second master of the Lu family?

After such a question popped up at the same time, a smart person immediately shouted in the crowd: "It's Moxiangju, and Moxiangju is actually opened here."

No wonder this person was surprised.One must know that with the name of Moxiangju, even the shop with the best location in the city can be taken down.Don't want to just choose to be in this slightly out of the way place.What's more, looking at this shop, it seems that at most ten people can watch it inside.

Did you think wrong?
But the people watching didn't care what he thought.As soon as he said that sentence, many people immediately started applauding.

The scene almost got out of control.

Lu Dunyi had no choice but to call out for silence.

When the common people shouted before, Lu Dunyi also felt that it was time to surprise these people.But if they continue to yell and miss the auspicious time, it is not beautiful.

It wasn't until they shouted that their throats became hoarse, and the crowd of onlookers stopped making noise and focused their eyes on Lu Dunyi.

"Everyone, listen to me. After two months of intense preparations, the Jiangnan branch of Moxiangju will open in Wu County today. All the operating rules of Moxiangju are the same as those in Chang'an."

After Lu Dunyi finished speaking, a scholar asked nervously: "Dare to ask Mr. Lu, what is the price of this book?"

I just talked about the business rules before, which is naturally the restrictions on the purchase of books in the legend.But what people care more about is actually related to money.No one wants the exact same thing to cost ten yuan in Chang'an, but it will cost twice as much in Jiangnan.That was really uneconomical.

Although the resale price of books brought back from Chang'an was even three times higher.But since the semicolon is here, it makes people feel a little uncomfortable to have such things happen.

And Lu Dunyi's words caused the silent crowd to immediately burst into cheers: "Since the business rules are the same, the price will naturally be the same."

"Mo Xiangju is indeed the conscience of the booksellers, and my shilin's lucky star. Originally, I thought that when I arrived in Jiangnan, the price of books would definitely increase. It seems that I can buy a few more books today."

"Thank you so much, Mo Xiangju. I want to go home and get the money. If I don't buy ten books, I'm sorry to say that I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

……

Amidst such thanks and admiration, Lu Dunyi was full of ambition, twitched his beard, and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, Moxiangju is officially open."

Then he turned around and tore off the red silk hanging on the plaque, and a group of actors standing at the door beat the gongs and drums again.

The crowd immediately followed behind Lu Dunyi, squeezing towards the door of Mo Xiangju.

I have to say that the scholars who wandered the streets today are all lucky.Because in less than an hour, the thousands of books prepared by Mo Xiangju were sold out.Looking at the closed shop door and the sign that it was closed for a long time hanging in front of the door, the scholars who rushed to hear the news were immediately disappointed.

"I knew I wouldn't have been with Xiaohong for so long yesterday. I actually missed the first batch of books in Moxiangju." A scholar who was greedy for pleasure last night lamented with a mournful face.

Someone immediately comforted me: "Brother, you are very lucky, and you have red sleeves to add fragrance. It's not like a younger brother. Last night, I slept long and unintentionally. I ate a few glasses of water and wine. If I don't think about it, it's already too late."

It's okay to comfort each other like this, but it's just a general frustration, so we can meet up and go to a nearby wine shop for a drink.

I don't want to, it's just that I can't buy a book, but everywhere I go, I get hit.Frustrated and heartbroken people want to drink away their sorrows in wine shops.But the people who get carried away with their form also drink happily here.

The two finally put away their disappointment and went to the wine shop. Before they sat down, they heard the people at the next table shouting: "This Mo Xiangju's book is really as exquisite as the rumors. If it was placed in the past, These books should be regarded as family heirlooms. I don’t want to buy a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" for ten pennies today. Haha, my child just finished his elementary school, and this book just happens to be useful. If he doesn’t take care of it in the future Reading, even if you beat him hard, I feel that it must be done."

Lost Heart immediately suffered [-] points of critical damage.Just at this time, the waiter brought the wine and was about to pour out the depression in his heart, but who knew that there was another table of people saying: "After finishing those drunken and greedy things, I'm afraid I will regret it until my intestines are green today." .”

No then.

But it was enough to kill the two of them with one critical strike.Drunk, greedy, what the hell are you talking about the two of them.

Why do they often have tears in their eyes from now on, because the blow they suffered today is too deep.At this moment, what could be closer than a bottle of wine?If there is, it is two bottles.

These two people are just a portrayal of the countless scholars in Wu County who regretted it.There are still many people who regret this, but what they have in common is that tomorrow morning, no matter what, they have to get up early, crowded at the door of Moxiangju, waiting to buy books.

But the excitement is not limited to Wu County.Because of such a good thing, it can't stop the enthusiasm of many scholars to spread the news.

From Wu County to Suzhou Fucheng, it is also a day's journey by horse-drawn carriage.After the news of Moxiangju's opening spread in Wu County, several fast horses galloped towards the counties in Suzhou.

The quality of Mo Xiangju's books has exceeded everyone's expectations.There are many people in Wu County who are entrusted to buy books, but now it seems that it is impossible to buy books as soon as possible with only one person's strength.

What's more, now that Moxiangju is open.Then it means that Luo Yan will definitely come out of the mountain soon.If these two things are missed, it will be a great loss for the scholars in Jiangnan.

Lu Mansion, as today's protagonist, Lu Dunyi is already crazy with joy.

At this time, there were four large boxes in the main hall, which were full of copper coins.Mo Xiangju's income for one hour today is all here.Looking at the number settled on the account book, Lu Dunyi was a little shocked.

Two hundred strings.

This number doesn't feel like a big deal to the wealthy Lu family in Wu county.But with the addition of time, it's a little bit amazing.Lu Dunyi's most recent impression of the numbers is that in May, all the expenditures of the Lu Mansion were thirty guan.

And he also knew very well that after excluding the cost of these two hundred pennies, the profit would be around one hundred pennies.In one hour, I earned my family's expenses for three months, and still had a surplus.What a terrifying speed.

Although the money fell into the hands of the Lu family, it was only five or six pennies in the end, but after a year, it was surprisingly much higher than the combined income of all the land and properties in the Lu family.

Lu Zhengming stood aside, looked at Lu Dunyi who had sunk to the bottom, and reminded softly: "Grandpa, with so much money, I'm afraid I won't be able to make the decision. What to do next, you have an idea."

Obviously, he also knew that what was scary was not the two hundred coins in front of him, but the two hundred coins that would be recovered every day in the days to come.

They were all blindfolded by the benefits in front of them before, and they didn't expect Moxiangju to be so popular.Up to now, all the previous preparations seem to be insufficient.

Interrupted by Lu Zhengming's contemplation, Lu Dunyi thought for a while, and then ordered: "You go to the county government immediately, and ask the county lord to send some servants to guard the money. Tell him, Cheng Guogong said, the money will be used in the future. They will travel to Chang'an along with taxes."

Fortunately, Luo Yan had expected the situation like today, and gave Lu Dunyi such an idea early on.

The profits of Moxiangju are all tied to the Wuxian county government, which not only allows the Wu county government to protect Moxiangju, but also helps Wu county officials in their official careers.Luo Yan didn't believe that officials in Wu County wouldn't take the bait in such a way of getting the best of both worlds.

After Lu Dunyi gave these orders, he hurried out of the main hall and walked outside the mansion.
