Xin Ruoxia regretted: "I was still thinking of asking you for some new grain seeds and planting some on my farm."

In fact, it doesn't matter whether he grows it himself, but in the village of Prince Yan's Mansion, his mother wants to arrange to try planting some...

If it succeeds, I'm afraid I can make a lot of money by selling the seeds in the future.

Lingyu was curious: "What do you want to plant?"

Xin Ruoxia said: "Corn, sweet potato. But I think the tomatoes are good, the dishes are delicious, and the cherry tomatoes taste good too."

Lingyu didn't want to waste seeds for large-scale planting, but for a small area, it wouldn't hurt to give some seeds. Lingyu said: "If it's a trial planting on a small area, that's fine. I'll give you ten acres of corn and ten acres later."

The seeds of sweet potatoes need to be cultivated and can be easily raised. With twenty acres of land in total, even if the harvest is not good, there will not be much loss. I will also leave you a few acres of tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.

Plant it."

If Xin Ruoxia hadn't been worried about his mother, how could he care about farming? His mother brought the corn and sweet potatoes, and tomatoes and cherry tomatoes were purely his own taste.

"Okay, but there is one more thing, please. My mother is very interested in the corn and sweet potatoes you grow. She wants to get there early. If there is a chance, she can make some money from the seeds when she promotes them in the future. Xiao Wu

Sister, if you want to try planting on the farm in the capital after you return to Beijing, why not take it with you to my house? Anyway, even if it fails, it will only be a loss for one season. My mother is very wealthy, so she is not afraid. It’s just that I and Brother Hao were out practicing at that time and were not at home.

I will ask my mother to find you when the time comes."

Princess Yan is quite economical. Lingyu smiled and said: "Sure."

However, she was also quite curious: "Brother Xin, I don't think you seem to be short of money. Why do your mother-in-law value the farm's income so much?"

Xin Ruoxia sighed: "I have divided the house. One person can feed the whole family without worrying about it. Just the salary of my nominal Xiaoyao Gong, plus the property in my name, the annual income is enough for my normal living expenses.

.I am a monk, and I have no need for worldly goods. What I am short of is cultivation resources. But my mother-in-law is different. She has to support a large number of people in the palace. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

If there is no steady stream of progress, even if the royal palace lasts for many years, it will not be able to bear it."

That's true. How many people do they have in their family? There are thousands of people in the prince's palace. As a prince's palace, he also has to raise green wolf guards. Plus the ordinary guards under his own name, then

The wealth required is really not a small amount.

Qixun's heart moved: "Brother Xin, does your family have its own business?"

"There must be some."

"What kind of business are they all about?"

"There are miscellaneous things in all aspects, but the main thing is sea trade. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to support so many."

Qixun then asked: "Are you interested in the business of publishing books? My second brother and I have figured out a very convenient way to print books. It does not require engraving, so it is very easy to produce books. We also have a paper mill at home, so we can produce books.

The cost is very low. If this business is started, it can also benefit scholars all over the world. Rich families like you may not care how expensive the books are, but for ordinary people, it means a lot. Do you think this business is still worth it?

Can it be done?”

This is a good thing that brings both fame and fortune.

It will definitely win the favor of scholars all over the world.

The key is that bookstores are, after all, a business!

The attitude of opening the door to do business and making money can also effectively avoid the negative impact of winning over the hearts of scholars all over the world. Xin Ruoxia no longer gets involved in political affairs, but at least the political acumen is still not lacking.

He immediately saw the benefits and risks, and without thinking for long, he smiled and agreed: "So, this business can definitely be done. I just wonder how to print books without engraving?"

"Movable type printing. Use appropriate materials to carve out all the characters in Daxia. When printing the book, you only need to arrange the engraved characters. Moreover, these engraved characters can be used repeatedly and do not need to be printed like engravings.

Each set of books has to be engraved once, do you think it’s inconvenient? Is the cost low?”

That's so convenient!

The key is that the Yan family has a ready-made paper mill, and the cost of using paper is lower than other bookshops.

I heard that the market price of the Yan family's paper is also very low. Scholars in the south are now grateful to the Yan family.

Because of the price of Yan's paper, Yan Zhuangyuan had an excellent reputation among officials.

The Yanwang Mansion could not keep such an astonishing thing as glass to its own family, but could only hand it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for management, because the benefits were too great.

But setting up a bookstore without being too shady is just right for Prince Yan’s palace!

Xin Ruoxia said happily: "I will accept this business on behalf of my mother and concubine! Can you tell me how to do it specifically?"

Qixun was also happy. Not only did he have another profitable business, he also found a long-term sales channel for his own paper mill.

The bookstore must use paper, and using its own paper is relatively low-cost, and there is no fear that after the bookstore succeeds, Princess Yan will find another source of paper. Anyway, if they want to start a price war, they will definitely not be able to beat Yan's paper.

Furthermore, Xin Ruoxia also said that this business was done with Princess Yan, so it was regarded as Princess Yan’s dowry and did not involve Prince Yan’s palace, which was really wonderful.

Qixun tried his best to introduce the process of movable type printing to Xin Ruoxia in as concise and easy-to-understand language as possible: "...To put it bluntly, this is not a very complicated process. Once you know this method,

Find a skilled craftsman and try it twice, and you can try it out. The quality of printing can also be improved by trying it a few more times. The key is that no one has come up with such a method before."

Therefore, in future generations, technology will be the primary productive force.

Xin Ruoxia also felt that this method was really wonderful. After understanding him, she clapped her hands and smiled: "Indeed, but if you don't mention it, the world won't be able to think of it. In this way, you obviously have no time to participate in the affairs of the bookshop. Printing books

My mother and concubine will be in charge of selling books, and I will share 30% of the profits with your family, and the paper used will be given priority to Yan's paper if Yan's Paper Factory can provide paper sources, how about that?"

In addition to the 30% profit share, Yan's paper mill can also make another profit.

This is equivalent to technology investment. A 30% profit is considered the most appropriate.

Qixun nodded: "Then let's do it!"

Xin Ruoxia sighed: "Some people want to lose their heads, but they can't think of any way to make money. Even for clans like ours and those rich and powerful families in Chaoge City, which family doesn't worry about money? But you are just thinking.

, just let others do the work, and you can still make a lot of money. Even I have to be convinced."

For example, the Yan family didn't get involved in glass, but they still made a lot of money every quarter.

Xin Ruoxia knows this better than anyone else. How much income the Yan family can make every year from glass alone. After all, he personally sent the money to the Yan family.

Qixun laughed and said: "There is no difference between doing business and fighting a war. The top strategy is to defeat the heart, and the bottom strategy is to defeat the soldiers. One uses the brain and the other moves the body. Obviously, the top strategy is much higher than the bottom strategy. The key lies in creativity."
