After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

The shopkeeper thought that after he finished speaking, the two readers would be very interested. As a result, both of them looked uninterested, but the little girl looked interested. The shopkeeper didn't know what happened.

Xiao Qingshan's heart: I will never take the Chunwei exam in this life, and other Jinshi's articles are of little use.

Xie Boyuan's heart: I want Jinshi's articles, do I still need to buy them? I don’t know how many people sent them to me, but I didn’t accept them!

Mingjia's inner thoughts: She can make money by taking advantage of the information gap between other places and the capital based on past exam questions! !

There was no one in the bookstore at this time. Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan were chatting at a seat for reading, telling Mingjun to take good care of his sister.

Mingjia brought her brother to the counter, stood on tiptoes, and put the "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" on the shopkeeper's desk. "The shopkeeper will keep this book for me. My father will choose other books and check out together." Mingjia A crisp sound.

I was a little depressed because the shopkeeper didn't sell the question book, but now I'm happy. This book was received from a down-and-out young man, so it was naturally kept in his collection. This is a transcript, and he originally thought it would be easy to sell.

Unexpectedly, these young men from aristocratic families don't come to his bookstore, and they also have collections of books. Scholars were not interested in agriculture, and ordinary people did not enter bookstores at all. I have copied 3 copies of this book, but only one has been sold.

"Uncle shopkeeper, can I see the question book you mentioned?" Mingjia looked at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face and took the opportunity to ask. "It's on the bookshelf on the left, on the third floor."

After speaking, the shopkeeper looked at Mingjia's height and then at Mingjun, "I'll get it for you!" Mingjia didn't care, but Mingjun seemed to be shocked.

Since the establishment of the dynasty, including the emperor Kai Enke, there have been three spring periods in total.

Every time the rankings were released, the imperial court would post the articles of the top 20 Jinshi for all students to admire. Many businesses sensed business opportunities and hired people to copy these articles and bind them into a volume.

Mingjia looked at three thick booklets and all she saw was money! After reading through it, I found that this shopkeeper is very good at business. In addition to the top 3 Jinshi, there are also several other articles about Jinshi. It is estimated that he obtained them alone.

"How much does a volume cost?" Mingjia asked the shopkeeper.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly replied: "Two taels of silver per volume. If you need 2 volumes, you can get a total of 3 taels of silver."

Mingjia quickly calculated in his mind, 5 taels of silver, 330 kilograms of fine noodles, 2 yuan per kilogram of modern noodles, so the 5-year real test questions cost more than 3 yuan!

Reading is such a waste of money! Mingjia recalled that in her previous life, she had studied countless real questions for the college entrance examination, which was really good.

"Uncle shopkeeper, you must have spent a lot of effort and money on finding someone to copy the top 20 articles and also collecting articles from other Jinshi scholars!" Mingjia looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly. His title books sold better than others because his articles were not only in the top 20. For this, the boss rewarded him a lot of money.

The shopkeeper was feeling happy when he suddenly heard the little girl say: "Every bookstore in the capital should have a book like this!" The shopkeeper was a little dissatisfied with the girl's directness, but he still answered with a smile.

"Other bookstores do have lower prices than ours, but ours is the most complete." The storyteller didn't want to chat with the little girl anymore. He felt that the traveling scholar wouldn't buy it.

The shopkeeper ignored the three question books and walked straight back to the counter. Mingjia stared at the question book and thought for a while, but still couldn't bear to give up. He turned around to see his father and the man named Yuan Bo chatting about speculation, and decided to negotiate the price with the shopkeeper.

"Uncle shopkeeper, can you make it cheaper? These articles are still in the top 20 and are readable." If not, it’s okay not to read other articles that are sold at high prices in your home.

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows: "Little girl, you don't understand the article. Those who know how to appreciate it will naturally feel that it is worth the money."

Mingjia was not annoyed and continued: "The people who come to buy these question books are all candidates who came to Beijing to take the exam. I have copied the local examination papers myself. The shopkeeper's business is at its best when the candidates come to Beijing in winter." At that time, or when Chunwei just released the results!"

It is now mid-March, the release of the results is over, and there are not many candidates in and outside the capital. I'm afraid the shopkeeper's business is bleak! The shopkeeper's pain point was hit. If it weren't for the fact that there were so few exams in Beijing, he wouldn't have to make any sales pitch. The supply of these question books exceeds the demand.

Mingjia's smile did not fade and she continued to prick the shopkeeper's heart: "Uncle shopkeeper, in fact, the cost of this volume has been sold long ago, and it must have made a lot of profit for the bookstore. Now every volume sold is a profit.

Spring has just passed this year. If Enke is no longer open, the next spring will be three years later!

These title books are very precious, and they must be carefully preserved, otherwise they will probably become yellowed and old after three years, and it will be difficult to sell them for money. "

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth as he looked at the smiling face of the little girl in front of him. At such a young age, you actually understand this? "Ha! Revitalize products, liquidate inventory and cash out. I'm familiar with this!" Mingjia felt embarrassed.

The shopkeeper also understood that this little girl really wanted to buy this question book and wanted to negotiate the price. I lost my temper and said bluntly: Little girl, how much do you want to buy it for?

"Daddy's birthday is coming soon. My brother and I want to pool money to buy him a gift. We only have 2 taels of silver. If we don't succeed, we will have no money at all." Mingjia couldn't continue talking at first sight.

The shopkeeper got angry again just after he got down, and wanted to buy him three question books for 2 taels of silver. How dare you think about it!

In fact, Mingjia also thought it was a bit excessive, but when she went out in the morning, Mrs. Dong put a tael of silver into each of the brother and sister's wallets.

However, it is estimated that my brother still has a few more coins in his pocket, but if he tells it now, I feel that the shopkeeper will be even more angry.

Mingjun was originally listening happily to his sister's bargaining, but suddenly he had a bad feeling when he heard 2 taels of silver, especially when he saw his sister's eyes drifting towards his purse.

Mingjia had no choice but to approach the shopkeeper and whispered, "Uncle shopkeeper, please help me. I have a way to help you sell more question books." After saying this, she winked mischievously.

If other children had said this, the shopkeeper would definitely not believe it, but what the little girl said just now was very logical. And it was definitely not taught to her by an adult. Maybe she really has a good idea.

"Okay, as long as your method is effective, I will sell you 2 question books for 3 taels of silver." The shopkeeper must listen to the method first. Mingjia didn't care, she believed she could get the question booklet.

To do business, people, goods, and places are all indispensable. There is currently no market in Beijing, but there is in other states and cities! Let the goods find the target customer group, which is called developing the sinking market and expanding the capacity of the secondary market.

"We went on a study tour with dad, and we only saw books like this in bookstores in the capital. There must be many candidates from other states who don't come to the capital." The shopkeeper suddenly understood, yes!

There are still only a small number of candidates who come to the capital to take the national examination every year. Most of them will study for a few more years, and most of them are studying in schools in various states and cities! When I thought about this shopkeeper, my whole body boiled up.

In the end, Mingjia got his wish and bought three title volumes with 2 taels of silver. Ming Jun and Cheng Si, who had witnessed the whole process, were both a little confused. They must be so good at bargaining!

Mingjun even forgot to worry about his own money.
