Chapter 121: Literary events
Zhang Luo ordered a bowl of wontons and took a bite.
Then I did the math in my head using statistical skills.
Jinjiang County is Guofu County in Quanzhou.
The capital city of Quanzhou is in Jinjiang.
It can be said that Jinjiang is the economic and cultural center of Quanzhou.
Xu's shop.
It's equivalent to Quanzhou Wei's shop.
Soldiers and horses are in hand.
Officials in prefectures and counties have no courage.
Exploiting their shop.
Therefore, Xujia Shop has almost no extra tax money.
In such a good business environment.
Two ancestral shops.
Only fifty taels of silver a year.
There are indeed many doorways here.
The cunning subordinate below.
Keep sitting and getting kickbacks.
This was all too common in the feudal era.
When Xu Shouye's father had just taken over as commander.
I once sent people to check the ledgers of various industries.
I also want to rectify this situation.
But after all, we are all a family.
Most shops and grain houses.
These shopkeepers have a good relationship with Commander Xu.
How can you say that you should take action?
And the shopkeeper has been in the store for most of his life.
It's easy to make false accounts.
You can't find anything by searching hard.
In desperation, Commander Xu had just taken office.
Just punish a few guys who go too far.
The matter just ended.
Shopkeepers rely on their relationships with commanders.
The money still has to be made.
But at least half of the profits will be retained.
After all, they are also people from Xu Mansion.
You have to rely on the power of Xu Mansion to get around in the city.
But the shop has to be handed over to Xu Shouye.
This situation is about to change.
The entire Xu family knew that Xu Shouye was a loser.
I don't have any skills, I just spend money.
He has no ability to take care of a shop at all.
I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the fifty taels of silver in the future.
Xu Shouye said:
"I have two shops."
"This is a bookstore opened by the Xu family during the Hongzhi period."
"The other one is a dyeing shop."
"I had a lot of fun when I opened this dyeing shop."
"It was opened during the Zhengde period."
Zhang Luo kept listening.
Xu Shouye has a lot of good things in him.
In these two shops.
But this is what Zhang Luo always wanted.
Zhenhaiwei's cloth workshop is already in operation.
A lot of cotton fabrics are made.
Zhang Luo is still thinking about how to dye it.
Ordinary cotton cannot be sold at a good price.
Those landowning gentry.
I still like colorful silk.
I want to make more money.
You have to increase the amount.
If only I could make cotton cloth in multiple colors.
It can increase the price quite a bit.
But something too expensive.
It's not easy to sell in the ghost market.
It's easy to be spotted.
I'm afraid I'll get into trouble.
Zhang Luo originally wanted to take advantage of the Xu family's misfortune.
Buy a dyeing shop from Xu Shouye.
I didn’t expect the Xu family to move in so quickly.
Just got through it.
He glanced at Xu Shouye who was complaining.
Zhang Luo laughed inwardly.
Who knows after you take over the shop?
How much more money can I have in my hands?
Please let me help you.
Now Zhang Luo is also preparing for movable type printing.
There is a bookstore.
You can also help sell Zhang Luoyin's books.
They are all industries corresponding to Zhang Luo.
Zhang Luo couldn't just let Xu Shouye go.
He said to Xu Shouye:
"That's good."
"Young Master Xu, I will finish class tomorrow afternoon."
"Young master and I will go to two shops together."
"Help you teach those old shopkeepers a lesson."
"Brother Zhang Luo also knows how to keep accounts."
"That's great. I originally wanted to invite someone."
"Help me look at the account books in the shop."
"Brother Zhang Luo is here now."
"Then it must be an immediate success!"
Zhang Luo continued:
"It just so happens that Zhenhaiwei also has some goods."
"You can put it in the young master's shop and sell it."
"Help me, young master, to earn more money."
Xu Shouye said gratefully:
"With Brother Zhang Luo's help."
"I, Xu Shouye, will definitely make it happen, hahahaha."
"Wait until you finish reading the account books."
"I'll invite Brother Zhang Luo to have a drink at Tianyang Tower again."
After separating from Xu Shouye.
Zhang Luo returned to the county school.
This time there was no strange atmosphere in the county school like last time.
A group of people are piled together.
Discussing something loudly.
Zhang Luo doesn’t need to think too much.
It must be for the drama essay competition.
Zhang Luogang walked to the door of the school building.
Then I saw Zhang Shengwen.
Holding some pieces of paper, he said:
"Brother Zhang Luo, I just wrote a play."
"Come and help me take a look."
Zhang Luo took it over and took a look at it.
I found that there was nothing wrong with the handwriting.
You can tell at a glance.
It was written by Zhang Shengwen himself.
It seems that this kid couldn't resist the temptation.
I have joined the army of drama writers.
But it's normal.
There is no scholar.
I don’t want to become famous in the industry.
Zhang Luo looked at it several times.
I found Zhang Shengwen in opera.
He really has no accomplishments.
A very common story about a scholar and a beautiful woman.
It is full of beautiful thoughts in the hearts of readers.
There is nothing particularly outstanding about the lyrics.
Zhang Luo stared at the words after reading.
said:
"Brother Shengwen, your opera calligraphy is pretty good."
"Just common points of content."
"There's not much splash, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get selected."
Zhang Shengwen said discouragedly:
"Brother Zhang Luo, don't you feel bad too?"
"It would be great if I could have the skills of Brother Zhang Luo."
Zhang Luo smiled.
I was planning to encourage Zhang Shengwen.
But Hu Zhao walked in with a few pieces of paper.
He saw Zhang Luo.
He immediately handed over the play he had written to Zhang Luo.
His expression was full of expectations.
He seems to be very confident in the play he wrote.
I watched the play written by Hu Zhao.
Zhang Luo almost vomited.
This is a model modeled after Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty.
The old trick of attacking beyond the wall and achieving great success.
And there are many contradictions.
There is also a clip of the heroine chasing her husband outside.
It's really bloody.
Zhang Luo shook his head and said:
"Brothers, you can give it a try."
"What if Mr. takes a fancy to you?"
The two heard what Zhang Luo said.
I feel like I'm having fun again.
They looked at Zhang Luo and said:
"Brother Zhang Luo, where are your works?"
"What work?"
"Brother Zhang Luo, won't you participate?"
Zhang Luo said:
"I won't get involved. I haven't heard any drama since I was a child."
"There is no chance of winning if you write it."
Zhang Shengwen said:
"What's this? I've never written it before."
"Brother Zhang Luo is so capable."
"I'm not sure I can become famous in one act."
Hu Zhao also said:
"Yes, Brother Zhang Luo, Mr. Le Lu's essay collection."
"It will end in more than ten days."
"Brother Zhang Luo, if you start writing now, you will definitely have time."
Writing plays does not add skills and experience.
Zhang Luo is busy gaining experience right now.
I don’t have that much time to write plays.
The Wei brothers were the last to arrive.
Both of them are in good condition.
But it's the same as Zhang Luo.
It’s something like a drama.
You can listen without writing.
After all five people arrived.
Zhang Shengwen said:
"I heard about Ye Dingsheng from Quanzhou Academy."
"We want to establish a branch of Quanzhou Literary Education in Quanzhou Prefecture."
"It has the students' plays printed on it."
"Let all the literati in the government take a look."
"Now we have even hired craftsmen."
"If only this could happen."
“It’s another major event among our scholars in Quanzhou Prefecture!”
