Chapter 317 The bookstore opens(1/2)
After the run of Ji's money house was paused for a while, it rekindled again.
As the money in the warehouse gradually decreased, Ji Wuyin became very anxious.
The money placed in the middle of the money house lobby cannot be moved, and it may trigger a bigger bank run crisis.
Damn, Ji's money house, he released nearly 2.8 million yuan in cash, thinking that it was enough to deal with all large and large runs.
This amount of cash bank is almost equivalent to all the family assets of one of Liu and Zhang's families.
He didn't know that the southern land was in chaos. Five of the six major families came to withdraw money, which made him exhausted.
Now, the Ji family can't squeeze out a tael of silver at the moment, so he has to think about what to do.
"Don't panic, keep calm, it's time for us to take action." Xue Xu comforted him.
Ji Wuyin held on for so long, restraining Xie Zhan's energy and winning them time for despicable development.
Zhou Jing is a scholar from the southern part of the country and has a medium-sized family background.
Recently, the southern region has been in chaos due to the melee of the six major families.
He was confused about how things developed. He only knew that it was because of the mountain torrent on Pilgrim Street in Puxian Temple that Lu Xihua, the eldest son of the Lu family, locked the front and back doors of Pilgrim Street, which eventually led to the death of the Chen family.
Thirty people, including the head of the Chen family and many tribesmen.
Mrs. Chen went to the yamen to beat drums and complained about Lu Xihua's crimes in tears.
Killing people will pay for their lives, not to mention that so many people died in the Chen family. At this time, if the Lu family handed over Lu Xihua at this time, there would be nothing left.
The Lu family's actions were so annoying that he actually openly covered up his eldest son! This caused an uproar in public opinion. He said that his son was going to catch the adulterer and locked the door, not for the Chen family.
When asked who he was catching, the Lu family kept silent, how could they not make the bystanders angry?
Even if Lu Xihua was going to catch the adulterer, it wasn't him who put the lock on it. Is it because of his actions that twenty or thirty people in the Chen family were trapped in the mountain torrent and had no way to escape?
Lu Xihua is worthy of death!
Now he is just asking him to pay his life alone, and the Lu family does not allow him.
The Lu family is so openly ignoring human life and the king's laws, which really makes scholars feel uncomfortable.
So they and the scholars jointly boycotted the Lu family's industry, especially the Lu family's bookstores, and did not buy the books of the Lu family's bookstores, nor did they buy their pens, ink, paper and ink...
The Chen family is so pitiful when they turn to support the Chen family's industry.
Those who are scholars like Zhou Jing don’t know that because of their support, the Chen family and the Lu family competed with each other.
The Chen family became swollen and fainted, and was led on the way.
By this time, the Chen family was already in a difficult situation unless they could defeat the Lu family and swallow up its resources.
The Lu family is the same at this time.
After all, Zhou Jing kept paying attention to the movements in the yamen. But now that a while has passed, Lu Xihua is still in the prison and has not received the punishment he deserves.
It's so annoying!
However, they are very dependent on the Lu family's bookshop. For example, now, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand are used up.
Moreover, for scholars, books are their spiritual food. It is okay to lack them in a short period of time, but it is not possible to lack them for a long period of time.
To be honest, the books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones of the Lu family are of great quality assurance.
There are other book shops in the south, but the quality is comparable, the price is higher than that of the Lu family's bookstore, and the price is equal, the quality is not as good as that of the Lu family.
Moreover, as a scholarly family in the southern part of the Lu family, they will release some isolated copybooks and rubbings from time to time, which is deeply loved by scholars.
It can be said that many scholars in the southern part of China were loyal fans of the Lu family’s bookstore before.
"What should I do now?" Zhou Jing said to himself. Are they going to pinch their noses and admit it? This is too backbone!
You know, at the beginning of this boycott, a brother had heard the shopkeeper of the Lu Family Bookstore say in a contemptuous tone, "Don't worry about them, what can these scholars do?" They cannot do without the Lu Family Bookstore."
If he stepped into Lu's bookstore in shame, wouldn't he behave like someone else's words?
Readers sigh.
The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Bookstore opened at this time.
In Panyu, the central city in the south, four urban areas, southeast, west and north, there are a Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bookstores located next to or opposite the bookstores of mainland families.
On the day of opening, the crackling sound of firecrackers and the lion dance team went on stage, which was very lively.
Such a lively scene also attracted everyone's attention. In this situation in the south, and the opening of a new shop, it makes people sigh that they are so brave.
Zhou Jing also noticed the newly opened store. After a closer look, it turned out to be a bookstore.
On both sides of the gate, each with words inscribed, and the right side reads: "Do you want to be a superior person? Come and read! Knowledge will allow you to cross the class!"
Very loud tone!
Zhou Jing stepped into the bookstore and looked at the left. He saw the six words "Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Bookstore" written from top to bottom on the door lintel on the left, and there was a line of small words on the side: Dongcheng Branch, Panyu, Southland.
In fact, there are also three other stores that attract attention.
For example, Xichengdian is: Do you want to change your destiny? Come and read! Knowledge will change your destiny!
As the saying goes, learn literature and martial arts, benevolence and imperial families. Scholars are noble in their faces, but it is undeniable that who is not in his heart for such a purpose? It’s just that the propaganda words used by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Bookstore are more explicit.
Do you think the propaganda words of Dongcheng and Xicheng Bookstores are too utilitarian?
The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has also considered this issue, so let me give you some elegant things!
Let’s look at the Nancheng: It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books. There must be one on the road in the body and mind.
Finally, it’s from Beicheng: The biggest advantage of reading books is to get rid of mediocrity. One day earlier you will have more exciting life, and one day later you will have more troubles of mediocrity.
Anyway, the four bookstores have roughly the same structure, the books in them are the same, and the four treasures sold in the study are basically the same. You can go to any bookstore you like.
After Zhou Jing walked into the door, he found that the bookstore was very large, with a unified and light wood book-flavored style. Bookshelf were placed on three sides against the wall, and books were placed on the bookshelf. There was a bookstore in the middle.
There are two big and three small tables. On the large table are there four treasures of the study, such as pen, ink, paper and inkstone. There are also two stacks of paper. The names "Juite Paper" and "Snow Paper" are written on the edges of the paper.
The other two tables are paired with chairs, occupying half of the space in the entire bookstore.
"What is this for?"
On the first day of opening, Wu Ren happened to look at the store. When he heard his question, he replied with a smile, "These tables and chairs are prepared for you. You can rest in the store and read books."
So good? "Do you charge money?" Zhou Jing asked.
“No charge.”
"Are there any requirements?" Zhou Jing looked at it. The two tables could accommodate twenty people sitting and reading.
“There is indeed a requirement.”
Zhou Jingran, "Please say it."
"If you read books in a bookstore, try to keep quiet, do not be noisy or disturb others."
After hearing this answer, Zhou Jing was stunned.
Wu Ren nodded at him and was busy.
Zhou Jing took a book that he was interested in, and when he opened it, he found that the papers of these books were white and neatly handwritten, but they did not seem to be sold as hand-written versions as Lu's Bookstore.
Suddenly, Brother Tai next to him exclaimed, "The handwriting of these two books is exactly the same!"
This - this - How did the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bookstore do it? You should know that even if the same person copied the same book twice, the handwriting of these two times will be subtle.
Zhou Jing wanted to ask about the price of the book in his hand, but he looked around and didn't notice the guy who was talking to him just now. He took the book to the counter.
Zhou Jing found that the brother standing in front of him was a classmate from the same academy as him, but the two did not know each other, they were just familiar with each other.
I saw his classmate ask the counter guy, "How do you sell this book?"
Wu Ren went to the warehouse at this time. At this time, Yang Tao was guarding the counter. He came from Tianshui New Village and was the nephew of Yang Wei, General Yang.
Yang Tao took a look at the book cover and quoted a price, "Two hundred documents per book."
"You say it again, how much?" The scholar who asked the price couldn't believe the price he heard.
Zhou Jing also stretched out his head and glanced at the cover of the book. He recognized it. The price of this book was worth 500 in Lu's Bookstore!
Yang Tao frowned: "It's all the price when I say it several times! This book is thick, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and material-intensive! No bargaining!"
Zhou Jing was silent. Where did the fool come from? Forget it, it would be right if it was this price, and it would be right if it was not bargaining.
He asked, "Woman, where is this book?"
"Three Hundred Texts!"
As soon as Zhou Jing made a sound, the classmate in front turned around.
He and his classmates looked at each other tacitly and began to come to the bookshelf to select books.
Look, what good things he found? He actually found several manuscripts of lonely books in this bookstore! Although they are just manuscripts, not genuine ones, they are worth buying and reading carefully.
Because of such an isolated book, Lu has a collection of it, but it is difficult for them to borrow it to read.
If you ask about the price again, it’s as cheap as free!
So, these people started to snatch crazy!
