The scholar looked contempt and did not take Wei Liao's words seriously. He grinned and said, "Tell me, what kind of name can you tell me? If you don't look in the mirror, who do you think you are? You thought you were Jiang Taigong."

"The things in our store are only sold to scholars, not to you, those of you, the unscrupulous merchants." Wei Liaozi said lightly: "You buy a pen from our store for ten cents per branch, and turn the corner and sell it for one hundred cents per branch to make huge profits. Do you think I wronged you?"

Although Wei Liaozi was good at calculating, he was only about military and national affairs. His shrewdness was not as good as his military and national affairs. His original intention was to have a meager profit after deducting the cost of everything. At such a low price, scholars could afford it and use it.

The phrase "poor literature and wealthy martial arts" has been passed down for thousands of years and is a portrayal of the tragic fate of literati. If not, those pauper-like scholars have no money to buy.

It is true that "no businessman will not be traitorous", but it is true that those profiteers who are determined to be money will immediately see the opportunity to make money, go to the store to buy it at a low price, resell it, and make great profits. There are many envoys from various countries stationed in Xianyang. They are rich. If you don't have to say a hundred cents of this novel thing, they don't care about even a daughter, and they don't have to worry about sales at all.

This scholar was the traitor of the treacherous and profitable man. He thought he was doing something very hidden, but he didn't expect to tell Wei Liao and asked in surprise: "How do you know?" As soon as he said that he knew something was wrong, he quickly changed his words and said: "You are talking nonsense, you are wrongly accusing a good person."

Several scholars next to him followed and said, "That's right, you're talking nonsense, go and sue the official and impose him on the border." Qin State was practicing misdemeanor and severe punishment at that time, and even a minor crime would be sentenced to severe punishment, and it was not impossible to impose him on the border.

Wei Liao was unmoved and said coldly: "You are in the same group as him. You bought 1,346 wolf hairs from our store, making a profit of 121,140 cents, and 79 volumes of paper, making a profit of 19,355 cents. Do you think I was wrong?"

That's the truth. The man's arrogance suddenly faded, his face turned red and white, and he said, "Shopkeeper, you are amazing. You have the ability of a god, and even Taigong Jiang can't compare to you." He suddenly got into the crowd and wanted to escape.

Regarding this matter, Zhou Chong's opinion was: "Mr. Liaozi is the grandfather of the times. Are these profiteers seeking death when they come to take advantage of the loopholes? Mr. Liaozi used his kindness to help the world, but he did not care about it. Once he noticed it, there was something else that could be hidden from his eyes."

Those scholars who were making trouble were in the same group. Under Wei Liaozi's cold eyes, they were dying and they ran away after they entered the crowd. Unfortunately, the public was outraged. Those scholars spent so much effort but did not buy paper and pen, but they benefited them from it. What else is more unbearable for studying than this?

I don’t know who yelled: “Catch him, don’t let him run away.” One person yelled, and everyone, the roars of “Catch him” came one after another, and the noise continued to rise. These profiteers immediately became rats crossing the street that everyone called to beat, and had nowhere to escape. They were caught. After a series of fists and kicks, they beat them into pig’s heads.

These profiteers stumbled away while holding their heads with their hands, and they were really speechless. Wherever they escaped, they would be fist-and-footed and served. They were big bags and small bags on their bodies. I don’t know how many green bags there were.

"From now on, the price increase of our store will be 100 yuan. Paper, 500 yuan per volume." Wei Liaozi thought for a moment and immediately understood the adjustment effect of price leverage and decided to raise prices to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

No matter which dynasty or which period, the rich scholars are sure, but most of them are poor scholars and don’t have much money. When the price of paper and pen increases, they can’t afford the money at all. They can only sigh at the paper and pen. Several scholars closest to the counter couldn’t help asking: “Shopkeeper, why is this?”

Wei Liaozi explained: "You have also seen what happened just now. This shopkeeper originally gave you money, but this kind of villain benefits, so our store had to raise the price."

This is the truth, these scholars looked disappointed.

Wei Liaozi continued: "Don't worry, our store is specially designed for scholars, and we must do practical things for you. Anyone who can answer our questions can get a pen and a roll of paper for free."

"Shopkeeper, have you become a master?" Scholars are a little distracted. Grandmasters are a saying in ancient times called examiners.

Wei Liaozi smiled and said, "If you have heavy words, you will be very talented and knowledgeable. It is difficult for me to be the master. The things in this store should be given to talented people. If you have no talent, you will use money to buy them. If you have talent, you are afraid of not having paper or pen?"

What is the reason why scholars are not good at each other? There is only one reason. Who doesn’t think they are talented and who believes in others? Which scholar doesn’t think they are too arrogant. After hearing Wei Liaozi’s words, he couldn’t wait and said, “Shopkeeper, you should make the questions quickly.”

With Wei Liao's talent, he had to test these scholars for 100% qualified. If he had carefully set up the questions, there would probably not be many people in the world who could answer them. His purpose was to help these scholars not to ask difficult questions. After a brief thought, he immediately had a question. Just as he was about to say it, a roar like thunder sounded: "Come around, no one will be allowed to be let go."

Wei Liao looked closely and saw a group of officers and soldiers surrounded the entire street tightly, without leaking water.

"A scholar meets a soldier and cannot explain it clearly." Although scholars have the meaning of "scholars", they are still afraid of soldiers. Looking at these tall and well-trained military soldiers, scholars feel upset, looking at each other with a confused look on their faces, and they can't understand the meaning, and they are asking what happened.

Just as everyone was surprised, a team of officers and soldiers led the crowd, and an official strode forward, came to the store, clasped his fists and bowed, and said, "Shopkeeper, please go with me."

Wei Liao returned the gift and said calmly: "If the official wants the shopkeeper to serve, the shopkeeper should do his best. I dare to ask the official, what is the important thing?"

"I, Daqin, strictly prohibit private fights. You dare to beat people in the street. If you don't punish me, Daqin's law will not be enough." The official shouted: "Come on, arrest them all for me. Those who resist, kill!"

Before Shang Yang's reform, the Qin people were strong and they were particularly fond of private fighting. Strong folk customs could create excellent soldiers. It was precisely because Shang Yang took this eye on this that he used severe punishment to prohibit private fighting and used generous profits to reward public wars. He applied this powerful folk custom to war. This is one of the reasons why the Qin army was able to sweep Shandong.

Private fights are a serious crime in Qin State. Those readers immediately changed their colors and kept calling for wrongful accusations. The soldiers did not care about those, just arresting people.

"Shopkeeper, please!" The official invited him sideways. He was very kind, as if he was inviting Wei Liaozi to a banquet, rather than to sue.

Wei Liao smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I have a question. I would like to ask you. I wonder if you can explain my doubts to this shopkeeper?"

"Tell me, I will explain your doubts for you." The official said politely.
