Chapter 207 The husband is only a subordinate?

"The Great Learning" has been printed and has been sold. The "Four Books" of the Four Books and the Five Classics have all been printed, but they have not yet finished engraving one of the "Five Classics" Ji Sandao, and they cannot print it for the time being.

For the time being, I will print these four books.

Because the family was running out of paper and ink, the next day, Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai took these books to the town to sell them, and bought paper and ink on the way.

Because these books are thicker than "The Great Learning", especially "Mencius" with more than 34,000 words, which is almost 19 times thicker than "The Great Learning", a horse-drawn carriage cannot pull it at all, so we hired two ox carts from a nearby village.

, helped to bring these books to the town.

The small bookstore simply couldn't digest so many books, so I went to the largest bookstore in town.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore was already quite familiar with them, and he was surprised to see so many books: "How many people have you hired to copy books? How come so many books came out so quickly?"

Ye Guoguo was held by her husband-in-law with one little fleshy hand, and the other little fleshy hand scratched her little head, and said with a smile: "We don't employ many people. Uncle shopkeeper, read these books..."

The bookstore also hired people to copy books. Even though Ye Guoguo didn't answer how many people they hired, the shopkeeper secretly thought about how many people he hired.

I was extremely surprised that this farm couple dared to hire so many people. Their bosses didn't even dare to hire so many people.

He smiled and said: "You came here to sell books last time, so let's stop bargaining and let's give it a fixed price, so that you won't lose money and we won't make any profit at all."

After that, he quoted a price for each book.

The price was a little higher than Ye Guoguo expected, so Ye Guoguo agreed. With so many books, nearly four hundred taels were finally sold.

First unload the books from the two ox carts. After unloading, the two ox carts will leave.

Then unload the books on the carriage...

The shopkeeper stood aside and watched the boys unloading books, glanced at the two oxcarts going away, then looked at Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai, and said with a smile: "If you two have books in the future, just let someone know about them."

Let's talk, if we want it, we can send someone directly to collect it."

Giving convenience to others also brings convenience to yourself.

"Thank you." Ji Jingbai thanked him.

Ye Guoguo raised her little head and said: "Uncle shopkeeper, my husband-in-law and I still need to buy paper and ink..."

The shopkeeper immediately grinned from ear to ear with joy: "You can buy as much as you want, we can send someone to deliver it." He said this, but it showed that he didn't believe that she only bought a little.

Then, Ye Guoguo bought 200 taels of paper, 100 taels of ink, 10 taels of book covers, 10 taels of binding thread and other items from the bookstore.

After calculation, I only spent a few dozen taels of money on this trip.

Before Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai left the bookshop, the shopkeeper said: "If you need paper, ink and other things in the future, you can ask someone personally, or we can send it directly, so you don't have to do it in person all the time.

Came here for a run."

"Thank you."

Ji Jingbai thanked her again, then led his young wife out of the bookstore, got into the carriage, and went home.

Not long after leaving the town, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. It was still very urgent. Ye Guoguo was sitting on the carriage happily shaking his short legs, so he subconsciously looked back.

As soon as she saw a horse galloping by, with the baby-faced man sitting on it who had passed by her husband-in-law twice before pretending to be a stranger, she looked at her husband-in-law with a complicated expression.

My husband seems to be the only subordinate...

Otherwise, her husband would never make such a stupid mistake, he would always be the same person...

Ji Jingbai didn't look back. Seeing his daughter-in-law's complicated expression, he was puzzled and wanted to look back, but the horse had already come in front of him, blocking the way.
