It's different, people have been replaced...

Li Ling replied to them in his heart, but the truth cannot be told, otherwise he would be regarded as a monster.

So after just a moment of thinking, he gave an explanation: "It should be the ancestor who appeared to bless me. Didn't I almost die before? At that time, I saw an ancestor from our Li family. He had become a god. Then he slapped my forehead, which not only saved my life, but also made me suddenly open my mind. He also told me that there are only two people left in the family now, and my brother must take good care of you and this family."

Li Yue'er was completely stunned when she heard it, her big eyes blinked. However, Aunt Jin believed in such a god-like matter. She immediately replied with a word of God and said happily: "I didn't expect that your ancestors of the Li family could still show their souls to bless you. Finally, I'm so happy. Dalang, Aunt, I'm watching your father leave, you get sick again. How difficult is Yue'er. If you really have a chance, you can't let her be wronged anymore."

"Aunt Jin said, of course I have to take good care of Yue'er and not let her suffer any grievances." Li Ling immediately expressed his opinion.

"Brother..." Li Yue'er was moved again, and then she naturally threw away the doubts she had just developed. After a moment, she remembered something again and looked at Li Ling and said, "Brother, our ancestors are so powerful that they have become gods?"

"Of course, have you heard of Li Chunfeng? That should be our ancestor." Seeing that his sister's attention had been diverted, Li Ling was naturally happy, so he told her a story, no matter whether he was his ancestor.

Now it was not only Li Yue'er, but also Aunt Jin, who was separated by the courtyard wall, was fascinated by Li Ling's story, and completely forgot to pursue his personality change.

Li Ling, who was just telling the story, knew in his heart that these two women were easy to deal with, but the foreign debts owed could not be so easy to solve. Although Li Ling's words did indeed return Huang Tuzi and others, the foreign debt of 200 taels was still pressing on his brother and sister like a mountain. We must come up with a way to make money as soon as possible. I think he was also one of the great travelers and an accountant. Could it be that he could not easily earn that little money in this ancient times?

It really can't... After thinking about it for a while, Li Ling suddenly realized that he was a promising young man in the 21st century who really didn't have the skills to support himself in ancient times. He didn't know anything about the so-called three-piece set of time travel to get rich - cement glass and soap. As for business, he was a little sure enough, but he had no capital.

"Capital, capital..." After Li Ling muttered, he suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart and thought of a Li family property that he had ignored.

...

A few days later, Li Ling and his sister, who had improved, wandered to Dongxie Street, not far from home, and went straight to the bookstore in a remote corner. Through the original owner's memory, Li Ling knew that the original Li family was quite rich in the county, and there were seven or eight shops on Dongxie Street under their name. However, since his grandfather Li Han failed the imperial examination one after another, and his father failed the imperial examination and became a success or failure, his wealth was completely defeated, and in the end, the only bookstore that could not be sold was left.

After opening the door and entering the bookstore and scanning the dusty books, Li Ling and Yue'er had to do the first thing they had to do was to clean and remove the dust. However, the words before Yue'er went out to fetch water made Li Ling a little troubled: "Brother, do you think our bookstore can really make money?"

Yes, this store is too small and too biased, and the books here are too old and completely unattractive.

Li Ling thought, and unconsciously pulled out a few books on the shelf to read. The rows of books here are half old and not new, and the categories are very simple. In addition to some novels such as talented men and beautiful women, there are also collections of classics, history, and literature used in the imperial examinations, plus some Tang poetry and Song lyrics.

If you say selling, of course it is impossible for someone to pay for it. Even if you really reduce the price and promote it, it will not attract a few customers. Is there any way to make money besides selling books?

Li Ling's mind began to turn rapidly, and he suddenly thought of something from later generations.

He was still a middle school student at that time. At that time, the books in several small bookstores near the school were so dilapidated and not in good location, but the business was still booming! Because they were not selling books, they rented books!

Yes, rent books! Although this transaction quickly disappeared after the computer and mobile phone pandemic, it can be done in this ancient season. Not only can the novels here be rented, but the large-scale Four Books and Five Classics can also be rented to those who don’t have much money to buy books but are interested in learning.

Thinking through all this, Li Ling clapped his hands and let out a loud voice.

Just so happened that Li Yue'er had difficulty carrying a bucket of water and slowly came over. When he was frightened, his hands trembled and he sprinkled a lot of water all over the floor. This made her a little strange. She looked at Li Ling with excitement on her face: "Brother..."

"Yue'er, I've come up with a solution!" Li Ling said loudly.

...

Li Ling is a typical activist. Since he already has an idea, he will not just stay at the planning level. After cleaning the bookstore and returning home, he will start his preliminary work - publishing advertisements.

As a time traveler, Li Ling knew the truth that the wine was fragrant and the alley was deep. Even if it was just a small bookstore, as long as the advertisement was well placed and more people in the city knew about its existence, it could still bring considerable income to his family.

As an atypical "school family", the Li family is naturally very ready-made, and they can be found as soon as they are found. Li Ling was worried that he could not write well in brushes, but when he really grinds ink and picks up the pen to write advertising copy on paper, he found that this body is quite skilled in writing brushes. His wrists lightly sends the room, and a neat and beautiful pavilion body appeared on the white paper, and he almost didn't need to do it deliberately.

Li Yue'er, who was standing beside her, looked at her brother writing with bright eyes, and said softly: "Are you still worried about not having any books at home? Are you still not sure what to do because you lack a certain classic and have a shortage of money? Now all this will no longer be a problem. From the 27th of this month, my Li Family Bookstore will rent all the books in the store to the cheapest way. In ancient times, Kuang Heng had a firefly and reflected in the snow and finally became a great generation. Now, poor children rented books and studied hard, and they could become a pillar of the country. The address of this store:..."

Obviously, Li Yue'er, influenced by her father and brother, also has a certain degree of knowledge. She could read all the advertisements of Li Ling very fluently. At the same time, she also understood the meaning and immediately said a little excited: "Brother, can we make money by posting it like this?"

Li Ling was silent for a moment before nodding: "It should be feasible."

"Then let's post it now? Just where are you?"

"The county school has to post a few pictures, and there are also notice walls near the county government office, and there are also lively places in the city gates." Li Ling calculated casually and found that he had to prepare fifteen or sixteen advertisements. He no longer delayed it, and then picked up a pen and wrote the same advertisements on the paper.

Although these advertising slogans are not worth mentioning in future generations and cannot be adopted, Li Ling is sure that it is still useful in this era.

...

As the long night passed, it was early dawn, and the small Jiangcheng County Town finally became lively and lively again.

There were more and more pedestrians on the street, including those who were selling breakfast along the street, and those who hurried out to work or work in the fields. At this time, a group of students from the county school also came to this quaint and solemn public school in groups.

Xu Cang is a student in this county school. Although his family is poor, he is still devoted to learning. He thinks that one day he will change his destiny by taking the imperial examination and high school. Although he is already a child, he still studies hard.

But two days ago, he was soaking a complete set of sage books that he had finally saved up soaked in water, which made him even want to die. Naturally, it was impossible for his family to buy him one more set. Even if he borrowed it from his classmates and copied it, the paper and ink money would be a considerable expense. What's more, he borrowed it from several classmates several times, but he couldn't borrow it.

Early this morning, Xu Cang, who still had no countermeasures, came to the county school in a daze, and then saw a lot of people surrounding the area in front of the door, whispering there, pointing and talking about something. Before he could react, a classmate shouted at him: "Xu Cang, you are here just in time. Come and take a look at this post."

"Ah?" Xu Cang walked over in a daze, his eyes casually swept the post, his face suddenly became stunned, and he rubbed his eyes again. That's right, the head really said that there is such a Li family bookstore that can borrow books from others, and it specifically pointed out that there are classics, history and other must-use books for candidates.

"Is this true?" Xu Cang still doubted this. After all, everyone now attaches great importance to books, especially books related to the imperial examination, and they rarely lend them easily. Now bookstores are willing to borrow them? This is too unreal.

The classmate smiled and said, "You'll know if you go and take a look? Just right, you're still missing books. If you can borrow them from the store, wouldn't it solve your urgent problem?"

"Yes, I'll go over and take a look at it tomorrow... at noon." Xu Cang nodded quickly.

After school was over at noon, Xu Cang hurried to Dongxie Street area without even having lunch. After searching, he found this little dilapidated bookstore in a small corner at the end of the long street. At this time, only one young man was sorting out various books. Hearing the movement, he turned around and said with a smile: "Are you here to rent books? I am the owner of this bookstore, called Li Ling, don't ask for advice?"

"I...student Xu Cang." Xu Cang hurriedly bowed slightly, then nodded in a cramped manner: "I am a student from the county school. I saw the posting posted outside this morning, so I came to ask, can your bookstore really rent classic books such as the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Essays?"

The smile on Li Ling's face became even more polite, and nodded immediately, "Of course, what else would I have spent that time? I didn't expect that Brother Xu, you are still a scholar from the county school, and you are really disrespectful." While speaking, he skillfully took out more than ten books from the bookshelf and placed them on the table: "Look at it, all the classic annotations from the Analects of Confucius to the Doctrine of the Mean, and then to the Spring and Autumn Period are here, but do you need them?"

Xu Cang glanced and his eyes were a little straightened. Not only what he wanted, but he didn't have it before, but there were also here. But then, he was a little worried about the price: "The price of that book..."

"Okay, you have also seen that the books in my bookstore are not very new, so if you want to buy them, the price can be cheaper than ordinary ones, which is 30% off. Of course, you can also use rented one, which means that each book is priced every three days." Regarding the price of renting books, Li Lingzao made plans based on the current market price and other things. At least at the beginning, it was definitely attractive to ordinary scholars in small counties.

Sure enough, when he heard this price, Xu Cang's eyes lit up and he was immediately moved. Although he was struggling, it was not too difficult to take out dozens of cents a day. In this way, he naturally solved his current difficulties immediately.

"I, I want to rent all the relevant classics books."

"Yes, I can also give you a discount, a total of twenty books, and I will give you a 20% discount. I will only charge you 16 pm in two days, and I will pay when I return the book. But I have to pay the deposit in advance, and each book is discounted by one or two taels of silver."

"Ah..." Xu Cang was stunned again when he heard this. The deposit was too high.

Li Ling also saw his difficulties and smiled again: "I think Brother Xu, you are also a scholar and a county scholar, so I'll give you another convenience. In this way, as long as you deposit the county school and your certificate, the deposit will be exempted." Well, he used the boss' tricks when renting books in middle school. At that time, students who had no money could deposit the student cards or other deposits in the store.

Xu Cang hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in response. Now he urgently needed these books, so it was a temporary solution to keep Tong Sheng’s credentials in the store.

After Li Ling finished the registration work and handed the book to Xu Cang, he hurriedly held it in his arms and regarded it as a treasure. Li Ling also explained: "According to the rules of our bookstore, the money for renting books will be paid every two months, otherwise it will be deducted from the deposit. I hope Brother Xu will know."
