After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.
Chapter 56 Bookstore Naming and Decoration
Xiao Qingshan has been very busy since arriving in Qu County. He felt that he had not seen his son and daughter for a long time. Yesterday, his youngest daughter came to him and told him that he wanted some question books for the college and county examinations in Ningzhou next door. It would be best if there is a provincial examination.
Only then did Xiao Qingshan find out that his children and his master were going to open a bookstore in Qu County. An auspicious day has been chosen. In a few days, Mingjun will officially become a disciple of Yuan Bo. It seems that there will be no problem for the master to open a store with his apprentice.
Xiao Qingshan took the letter and wrote to Chen Shaoang, who was the county magistrate in Ningzhou. He briefly talked about the situation here and mentioned the spring plowing subsidy in a very subtle way. Finally, he said that the county is preparing for the county school and would like to share the test questions and excellent articles from the previous college examination.
Thinking that he had never written a letter to Tianjiacun, he quickly wrote a few more letters. One for the head of Tianjia Village, one for Mr. Song from Qingyun County, and finally one for Mr. Xue Xie from the county. Of course, I didn’t forget to help my daughter with the question booklet.
The decoration and internal layout of the library here have begun. Fortunately, Mingjia's requirements for the bookshelves and desks are just simple, elegant, strong and durable. Neither wood nor carving is required.
There are five large bookshelves, ten desks, and 30 stools. The carpenter only charged four or two or five yuan, which was basically just the money for the wood. After these were in place, Mingjia just waited for the day when the county government selected scribes.
The publicity for more than half a month was enough to attract all the readers in the county who were interested in money and fame. Mingjia needs someone to help her copy books and someone to help her make a name for herself.
Moreover, she had the ability to use the library's collection of books and notes to attract attention and divert public opinion and attention away from the fact that three of the five scribes were children of big families. She can be regarded as doing crisis public relations in advance.
Tonight, Xie Boyuan and Ming Jun Mingjia were in the county government's study room to discuss the last few major matters for the business of the library.
The first important thing is to name it. So far, the library does not have a name.
Ming Jun suggested that if you want to build a large bookstore with a large layout, you should not be constrained by some fancy names. It is better to call it a bookstore.
All the best books in the world are found in this building, the library!
Xie Boyuan didn't express his opinion. He looked at Mingjia. The little girl should also have a name in mind. Mingjia thought for a long time and wrote down two words: knowledge.
She hopes that people can understand the joy of reading here and learn about knowledge beyond the imperial examination; she also wants to tell people who come here to be knowledgeable. Scholars may lose a lot of character because of their interest, but her selling question books to support the imperial examination is not a matter of character.
Mingjia is also conflicted in her heart. She wants to contribute to the development of social technology and the inheritance of some skills. But when I have no money or power, it is not a common sense to sell question books so that more students from poor families can pass the imperial examination and have a future.
Mingjia wrote these two words and stopped talking. She had many explanations for the word "knowledge and interest" in her heart, but she couldn't say them.
Xie Boyuan feels that these two words have too many meanings. He has been taught that a person should be knowledgeable since he was a child. The aristocratic family is most concerned about face, and they also pay attention to common sense when dealing with each other. Nowadays, the name of a library is somewhat ironic.
"Okay, that's the name!" Xie Boyuan stood up, laid out paper and studied ink. With a swipe of his pen, he wrote the word: "Knowing Interests". "Let's find someone to make a sign tomorrow!"
Once the name is decided, all that remains is the business method. Brother and sister Mingjun and Mingjia chatted for several days, but in the end they couldn't decide.
One is the ordinary model of selling books. After all, the books in their hands are relatively scarce. The pricing can also be higher.
The second is to build a paid library model and recharge membership. The membership fees for different floors are different, much like a modern gym, but with a monthly or annual membership.
Mingjia thinks she is very greedy and really wants everything. She still wants to make her first pot of gold quickly, and then work on other projects to make more money.
Xie Boyuan thought the brother and sister's idea was very good. He combined the bookstores and teahouses he had visited in the capital. I think the first floor can be an ordinary bookstore with a tea shop, and the second and third floors can be a membership model.
After finally deciding on the operating model, all we have to do is wait for the scribes to be selected.
Li Hansheng rushed all the way to the capital with the account books and evidence. Before leaving Jinzhou City, he did not forget to ask his men to deliver the purchased goods to the Quxian County Government.
After the evidence was handed over to the emperor, Li Hansheng went back to his residence to rest. He really didn't want to get involved in the emperor's family affairs. Among the generals who initially followed the emperor to conquer the world, there was only one queen in their hearts, and the other empresses did not get their respect.
As soon as Li Hansheng returned home, he saw several letters on his desk, all from Chuanzhou. Since they were not urgent and Li Hansheng was out on business, the housekeeper kept them in the study.
Opening Cheng Si's letter, I saw that Xie Boyuan was so tired that he fell asleep in the hall and snored. Li Hansheng laughed out loud. The once noble young master was actually so rude at times.
There was actually a letter written by Xie Boyuan to him in the letter, which was full of his experiences in Qu County, Chuanzhou. It actually felt like a travelogue. He talked about the hardships of the people, the poverty of Qu County, and said that just three pancakes would instantly make a grown man's eyes light up.
Finally, he focused on his idea of opening a bookstore in Qu County. Most of all, he was talking about the question booklet for the imperial examination, and he wanted to see how much it could help poor students.
It seems that a few more things were added later. Military Master Xie said that he had accepted two disciples and asked the Duke to help find a steady and well-behaved woman.
In the morning of the next day, the emperor became very angry and reprimanded Count Liu. Give all the account books and evidence to Dali Temple and ask for strict investigation. Everyone in the entire court is in danger, fearing that they will be implicated.
Li Hansheng looked at the furious emperor and found that all the royal children were good at acting. He knew that the emperor had been angry a long time ago, and he was never in the court when he was really angry.
After going to court, the emperor took Li Guogong away. The civil and military officials throughout the court actually cast sympathetic glances at Li Hansheng, haha!
When they arrived at Qinzheng Hall, Li Hansheng took out Cheng Si's letter and handed it to the emperor as if it were a treasure. "This is the happiest thing that has happened to me in recent times."
Emperor Liang was very confused and took a look at the letter. I found that the letter was written by the personal guard of the Duke's Mansion. It vividly described Xie Boyuan's snoring, and I couldn't help laughing.
"I have known military advisors for more than thirty years, but I have never seen such a military advisor!" Li Hansheng said that he had not seen one either.
After laughing, the emperor was very confused: Li Guogong, did you send personal guards to follow the military advisor? Where is the military advisor now?
Li Hansheng's heart trembled, and then he relaxed again. He told how he and Xiao Qingshan met, and only said that he sent his personal guards to protect the Xiao family in order to repay Xiao Qingshan for taking care of his wife's cemetery for him for four years.
