"Well! You don't have to ask for new articles, or they can be written in the past. You can arrange for people to go to various bookstores to find articles and books from ministers and great scholars in the court!" Zhang Junping pondered and explained.

"Here! I'll arrange someone to buy it!"

"Lu Bo, how about you saying we can also open a bookstore?"

"Langjun, the bookstore is not easy to open! Although there are hundreds of bookstores in Bianliang City, most of them are miserable and barely profitable!" Zhang Lu quickly advised.

I have to say that the Zhang family is very conservative or low-key. They have never run their own business in the past dynasties. The wealth they have accumulated is gradually accumulated through salary, rent collection, and thrift.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don’t know that the food, food, oil and salt are expensive.

The Zhang family was left empty by Zhang Junping's second uncle, and only this large mansion was left.

Later, I got the car of copper coins back from the underground gambling house. It looked quite a lot, but it was actually not much. It was only two thousand guan.

These seven things to do: everything costs money for food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

Two thousand jin, for ordinary families, it is a wealth that cannot be earned in their entire lives.

But for a family like the Zhang family, it is only one or two months of expenses.

Some people may say, how much will it cost?

Just calculate the calculations and know that there are more than 100 people in the Zhang Mansion.

The consumption of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea is not a small amount every day. Once the rice is between 300 and 500 yuan.

One day you have to consume rice, plus the consumption of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, it costs two jin of money every day, which is less than calculating.

The Song Dynasty did not practice slavery. The servants and servants in the family had to pay wages. The combined salary would cost twenty stagnants of money, which was also a small amount.

The ordinary servants in the Song Dynasty were about one hundred coins a day, and the housekeeper was even higher, and there was also five hundred coins a day. After all, it was calculated that a person would cost about two hundred coins a day.

There is also Zhang Junping’s second uncle going out to eat flower wine, the rich clothes and food of his aunts, and the expenses of his younger brothers and sisters.

It is impossible to get over thirty cents of money in a day. By doing this, it is almost a thousand cents of money per month.

In fact, this calculation also proves a problem, that is, the Song Dynasty was the happiest dynasty in ancient times, all dynasties and the people.

Unless the people of the Song Dynasty suffered natural disasters, the problem of food and clothing could still be solved.

In ancient times, ordinary people could eat enough to eat braised vegetables, even if they were happy.

In the past, there was also the salary of Zhang Junping’s father Zhang Jianye. Now he has no salary and can only rely on rent to survive.

The salary of the Song Dynasty was very generous. Zhang Junping's father added 500 trump cards to his monthly money, grain, silk, firewood, etc., and some servants in his family, such as Fu Bo, were also paid by the court.

This is just the salary of a fifth-rank palace chief, so the prime minister has more. Together, he can get two thousand guan a month, and the salary of servants and other servants will be paid by the court.

Not only that, the Song Dynasty did not pay salary according to the head, but according to official positions. A person could hold many official positions and receive several salary.

And there is a good succession system.

A rich family does not have to buy good land, there are thousands of bells of millet in the books. There are no need to build a high hall in the house, there are golden houses in the books. Don’t regret that no one follows you when you go out, there are many carriages and horses in the books. Don’t regret that there is no matchmaker in the books, and there are beautiful women in the books. A man wants to fulfill his life's ambitions, so he reads the Five Classics diligently in front of the window.

The Song Dynasty did everything described in this poem of Emperor Zhenzong to encourage learning.

But these are now nothing to do with the Zhang family, so Zhang Junping resigned from Yinbu's scattered official.

Nowadays, naturally, we can only find another way out.

"Lu Bo, now I have no salary. My family is inside and outside, and it is difficult to live by collecting rent alone!

As for opening a bookstore, it was not on a whim. I have a way to print movable type here! It can greatly reduce the printing cost! Others will lose money if they don’t sell a few hundred yuan for a book. Our books only cost 100 yuan for each book, and it will make a profit!" Zhang Junping smiled.

The woodblock printing in the Song Dynasty had developed to its extreme, and the movable type printing technique had not been invented at this time. At this time, it was like using the Gatling machine gun to target the spear and the big knife.

"If there is really such a way, opening a bookstore would be a good business!" Zhang Lu said happily.

"In this way, Lu Bo goes to find some craftsmen who know how to carve and make pottery!"

"Mr. Lang, this method must be kept strictly confidential. It is better to be slower than to be learned by others. It is better to look for it from your hometown!

I'm going to chase Brother Fu and ask him to find all the people from his hometown together!" Zhang Lu bowed and suggested.

"Lu Bo is a mature and polite statement, so let's do it according to what Lu Bo said!" Zhang Junping nodded and said.

Zhang Junping doesn't care much about whether someone will learn the technology secretly. Zhang Junping has advanced technology in his mind.

However, he would not refuse Zhang Lu's kindness, which is also a way to win people's hearts.

"Langjun, we also run another shop by ourselves?"

"Another shop?" Zhang Junping touched and pondered on his chin.

Zhang Junping had countless techniques in his mind, but to find a business that suits modern society and can easily make money, he really needs to think about it carefully.

Winemaking may be one of the most profitable businesses of this era, but winemaking in the Song Dynasty was an official business and officially monopolized.

The Northern Song Dynasty had strict laws and regulations on brewing wine, which can be roughly divided into official business and pub market.

The official business means that the government directly organizes the wine produced by the wine merchants who produce or brew wine to sell it to the government, and then the government will sell it to the outside world.

The Buy Poufang Market system is approximately equivalent to the monopoly rights of later generations. Merchants pay high monopoly taxes to the government and purchase a certain wine to sell wine.

Zhang Junping has a lot of techniques for brewing wine in the local method and purifying wine. If he can brew wine freely, he will definitely make a fortune.

It is not that easy to get a specialty license for making wine and selling wine.

This kind of monopoly license is basically monopolized by powerful families.

Although the Zhang family is a powerful family, it is not so easy to compete with other powerful people for special licenses.

Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and all walks of life have their own tricks. If you enter rashly, you will inevitably attract internal resistance from the industry.

but……

Thinking of this, Zhang Junping had an idea.

"Lu Bo, go find a reliable blacksmith to come over!" After thinking about it, Zhang Junping ordered Zhang Lu.

"Here!" Although he didn't know what Zhang Junping was going to do, Zhang Lu agreed and turned around to find the blacksmith.

There were many blacksmiths in Bianliang City. Not long after, Zhang Lu brought the blacksmith to Zhang Junping's study.

At this time, Zhang Junping had already drawn the drawings.

"Langjun, the craftsman has been found!"

"Okay! Come and see!" Zhang Junping nodded to the blacksmith and signaled him to come forward to look at the drawings.

"You might create these objects?"
Chapter completed!
