Buying objects in seaside villages, and then finding the most suitable people to sell them on, for Jia Xun, he gained more than just the price difference. Well, this statement is a bit unethical, and the price difference can’t be said to be a little bit. At the very least, if the income is really combined, it is enough to make many people jealous. It can be regarded as a very profitable business, but for scholars, this can only be ranked second, or even third, because The first two benefits are more exciting.

The first is because he keeps selling some strange things, so in the case of introductions, he met some relatively high-end people compared to his original social circle in a small and remote county, or They are the nephews of some officials' families below the fifth rank, or the powerful clan members of the rich and powerful families of the imperial merchants, and even the offspring of some wealthy families.

Those who need strange and inexpensive things to please, can always find what they want in Jia Xun, so as to obtain the greatest benefits with the smallest cost. They are more satisfied and friendly with Jia Xun, like He is the nephew of a certain imperial merchant, and he bought a live turtle from Jia Xun for 60 taels of silver. The turtle shell is the size of a round stool with fuzzy patterns of copper coins and bats on its back shell. The name of the family was given to the head of the family who happened to be on his fiftieth birthday, and was appreciated by the head of the family, so he got several opportunities to take charge of the family's trivial matters within a month.This has drawn a lot of benefits for my family.

With such a happy event, what do you think his attitude towards Jia Xun should be?Then he thought that Jia Xun was his lucky star.For this reason, I specially found an ancient painting from the former dynasty that was not too valuable, and gave it to Jia Xun as a thank you.It can be seen from this that sometimes these strange things have the effect and the benefits they bring.

The heirs of aristocratic families also often buy some brightly colored conch and starfish from Jia Xun, which are not found outside, and are used to please the family members, wives, old people, etc., and it often has miraculous effects. It's low, and you can buy it for 20 taels, which made him feel the benefits of what is called benefit without cost, and getting along with Jia Xun is naturally more friendly.

As more and more people got to know, Jia Xun's way became wider and wider. Even with his persistent copying of books, he was able to find more and more rare books, and vice versa. The collection of books at home will become more abundant, and the business of Xiaosan copying books and selling books will also become bigger and bigger. Do you think this benefit is very good?Is it more affordable than silver?Books, as long as there is such a copy, it will be the foundation of the Jia family's scholarly family in the future.No amount of silver may be able to buy that.

And the second benefit is also great. Of course, this benefit is also related to Jia Xun's current network, because Jia Xun can always find the most unexpected things, and always bring them something refreshing. He gave good ideas that were reasonable and slanted, so Jia Xun dabbled deeply in miscellaneous items, and his reputation for KitKat gradually began to spread.

Regardless of whether this is a child prodigy or a poetic talent, a good reputation in articles is not important. For scholars, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, gold and stone antiques are all elegant tastes, and they are a means for scholars to show their elegance and strength of character , any thing with a touch of elegance, as long as you play better than others and know more than others, you can gain a good reputation among scholars. In the world, even scholars who are good at tea can get an elegant name, Miscellaneous items such as Jia Xun are naturally possible. After all, there are a lot of gems and antiques involved here, which is more knowledgeable than simple good tea, although it is still inferior to those who are proficient in poetry. But it is also enough for him to occupy a small position among scholars, so that he will not be underestimated when he participates in some literary conferences and the like.

Fame may be better for ordinary people, but it is very important for scholars, because scholars are actually very xenophobic and attach great importance to their own circle, and it can even be said to be a bit arrogant. Look at this The gap between the noble and scholarly families of the era and the poor families can be seen one or two. Even if the same scholars can be divided into three or six or nine classes, let alone others, how did the township party come from?Isn't it caused by this small circle?How did you toss and fight in the same year, unite and play in the officialdom?It is also an alliance of interests formed by small circles.And among scholars, if you want to break the barriers of a certain circle, you can use it. Apart from your own knowledge, you need a certain reputation. Why was Wang Anshi able to directly govern the Song Dynasty and start reforms?Because he was raised and looked after, because he had earned a good reputation!

You have a reputation, even if others don’t know you, it can be passed on from word to mouth, and it may even come from your best friend’s explanation. Knowing each other, or even being close, when they meet each other, they naturally skip the first step of being vigilant and ostracized each other. Those who should get along with each other already have the sincerity of mutual friendship, so naturally they have a little more confidence in cooperation, right?

So, when Jia Xun kept accumulating money and working hard to earn money for his family, his contacts and reputation have slowly been cultivated, and even in the atmosphere of this small county town, he has a certain amount of money. The status of supporters.Under such circumstances, Jia Xun can also get another unexpected benefit, that is, if he can go on in this way cautiously, then when those friends in the capital brag about him to a certain extent, he will go to the provincial examination At the time, it was not possible to cheat or something, but he was able to successfully deliver his own essays, poems, stereotyped essays, and other scientific examination-type essays to the big shots who might become examiners.

What do you think it is good for?Isn't the exam to be copied with anonymity?Others can't see the handwriting, can't see the name?Please, these are invisible, but the style of this article can always be seen. As long as your writing style is familiar to the examiner, then you say, when the examiner sees this article, it is probably your article. At the moment when you feel that you can go up or down, will you be put in the middle one, or the one that is not right?

Is it obvious?Unknowingly, it can make you go from being a loser to being on the list?So, scientific examinations are really famous and deep. Although Jia Xun has not passed the examinations and doesn't understand these things, he has someone who knows how to ask for advice. Young master Xu is someone who can pass on his experience.

It is also because of these two people’s suggestions that Jia Xun can persist in this way after knowing these benefits. He has been doing small businesses that he only wanted to do a few times a year to supplement economic problems, and he is doing his best in every business. At the end of the month, in front of the same role as the pawnshop Chaofeng, he was constantly looking for pearls in the rubble.

"The village is getting more and more prosperous now."

At the end of another month, people from the surrounding ten miles and eight villages came here with their backpacks on their backs. Now not only the boats from countless surrounding villages on the sea have docked in this Hailuo Village, but the other coastal ones are relatively close to Hailuo Village. Many villages also began to gather here, not for anything else, just to go to the market on this day.

Even in the same sea area, the harvest of going to sea is always somewhat different. Some places have more fish, some places have more sea cucumbers, some places have more crabs, and various sea vegetables are the main goods that fishermen come to trade, and fishermen need There are also a lot of things, and the villagers in Hailuo Village may not be able to eat all of them. In this way, it is naturally attractive to the people in the surrounding villages. They bring special products from their own fields, or vegetables, or poultry eggs. Or some fruits that are not easy to grow by the sea, food, north-south goods, rare prey collected in the mountains, cloth, ready-made clothes, shoes and socks, etc. Come to these fishermen to barter for things, or directly for money, each takes what he wants. Needs, everything is available, and it is very lively for a while.

The most important thing is that Hailuo Village has set up an open-air market directly by the sea, and there is no need to pay any taxes, which makes everyone very happy, although the savings are only a few cents in stall fees, But this is not a small benefit for the poor who can survive for a penny.

Jia Xun has already gone full circle just now, and the ones that should be picked have already been picked. Today, he only got two tourmaline stones, which are not very valuable, so he paid off the work early and talked with the village chief. talk.

"Yeah, although it seems that we are at a disadvantage if we don't charge booth fees, and we are busy for nothing, but as long as we think about it the other way around, so many people trade here, and the food we buy in our village is good. How much should the tea be? The villagers can get what they need without going out of the village. That is a big deal. Not to mention, because of this, there are always a few nearby doctors here The convenience brought by visiting the clinic in one day is even more beneficial. Not to mention that the medicinal materials collected in the village can be sold at a good price, and the villagers don’t have to go to the city to see a doctor, which saves a lot of time.”

But what I said is that there are more people concentrated, and many people who would never come to them will naturally come, not to mention doctors, even those who burn pottery, buy porcelain, and even make bricks and tiles. Some people came to set up a stall and wanted to borrow some work and sell some things. In this way, every time it was time to close the stall, the villagers could always buy some cheap goods, and by the way, many villagers also found zero-hour shops. Doing work, helping to move things, and earning some small money, such benefits are trivial and inconspicuous, but they actually make the village more prosperous.

"You brought this here. Sure enough, scholars are different. By the way, people from the fishing villages next door came to ask if their children could be sent to study with us. What do you think of this?"

"Oh? It's so far away, can it be delivered every day?"

"It's the same as your brothers before, come every other day. It's just that this bundle of repairs may not be received, and even if there are, there are very few pitiful ones. After all, they are not us. These days, they got windfall money by luck. It is a minority, and there is not so much wasteland to clean up. I am a little hard to decide on this point, I am afraid that the people in the village will not be happy."

"It's not easy for everyone. Since they are determined to make progress, the village chief will always be able to help. It is said that in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, who knows whether any of these children will have a big shot in the future? , even if it doesn’t, it’s good to have a good relationship. This bunch of cultivation matters, just don’t talk about it. After all, there is too much time difference between the children in our village and the children who study, and the children don’t care.”

"That makes sense."

"If it's a day of wind, frost, snow and rain, if the village can't live there, it's really impossible. The cave in our village is still empty. The place is cleaned up, and it can be regarded as warm in winter and cool in summer. It is also possible to stay for the children who come to study. , at most, it’s just some food, a little money, the village doesn’t care, and we don’t suffer. They are all people who rely on the sea to eat, who is different from the other.”

The village head nodded after hearing this.

“It is always good to do good deeds.”
