Chapter 53: The Ancient Shortcut of Making Rice Worms
In the eyes of bookstore owners, not only women can read this set of books that Shideng can read, but men can also gain abilities after reading it. In the past, how to do housework, everyone is empiricist, which is called "knowing the truth but not knowing the reason". But with this book, the world is different. This book can teach you what methods and processes to do the best, which not only saves time and effort but also is fast and convenient.
As for men, it is the responsibility of men to go out to earn money to support their families, but most people are confused about how to make money. Now there is no need to worry. After reading this book, you will no longer be at a loss. At least you know how to manage family finances... and at least you will have a chance to show off in front of your wife and son.
The only regret is that the Song Dynasty was the era of scholars. A prominent feature of this era is that only the Song Dynasty has copyright laws on the whole earth, and only the Song Dynasty on the whole earth has no pirated copies. So although the boss could see business opportunities and specially gave the book a best-selling name, he could not make any decision on the printing of books.
Now, the boss with a small thought was exposed by Huang E's words. The boss who was foolish when he was wearing it was panic about a scam. At this time, Dalang is not a person who is easy to mess with... The panicked boss just wanted to hide. Under Huang E's eyes, he stumbled in embarrassment: "A gentleman is ashamed to speak of profit... Dalang, the construction period you want is tight, so we are rushing to engrave the plate for you. Now we don't plan to ask you about the money you want to engrave, but just want to sell more printed books..."
Huang E smiled slightly: "Supervisor, you are not a gentleman, don't say that you are ashamed of making profits - are you the only one in the world to work hard? My brother has been busy with this set of books for several months, memorizing and copying with me every night, and I waited for a few sisters to copy and edit the books... But this is still the busyness on the surface. In order to prepare this book, my brother spent more time and spent more time reading it..."
The boss looked at Shi Chuan hard, but Shi Chuan didn't hear the argument here. He checked the engravings sent by the boss and murmured with joy: "This is the Song version, the Song version! After the Mongols burned books, even in the Ming Dynasty, a set of Song versions had to be sold for a hundred taels. How much can these more than 2,000 books, plus the original Song Dynasty engravings, sell?"
When Huang E saw this, she ignored her and suddenly became angry: "According to the convention, I will give you the money for printing books. As for how much the books are printed, how much they sell, and what price they set, it has nothing to do with the supervisor. Now that the supervisor wants to underwrite these books, he will buy them from me at the price, and then deduct the money for printing books. The remaining amount of the remaining ones sold is the supervisor. But now the supervisor is too bullying... But you heard that my brother is stupid and doesn't know the worldly ways, so he came to bully me specially? He dares to ask for money for printing books. Is there anyone who bullies people like this?"
The owner of the seal shop looked at Shizhan again. Shizhan was still holding the printing plate. Looking at the official seal behind the engraving plate, the copyright world, the government is really serious. Each engraving plate has changed the number of A, B, C and D, and the number is covered with bright red red seals. I don’t know what material the color of the seal is, but it can’t be wiped off with my hands, and it’s as bright as blood. What price should you say you want to save this thing to the modern day?
Is this the only one in the world? How much is it to give you a look?
Shi Chuan smiled and smiled so much that he was forgetful. The boss took the opportunity to express his opinion: "It doesn't matter how much it costs to print books. If Mr. Shi is inconvenient, then he will owe the money to print books first. When you have time, remember it and send it to me."
After the boss finished speaking, he hurriedly jumped out of the door and ordered his friend to transport more than 2,000 printed books into the door. He hid outside the door. Huang E chased out angrily and shouted: "Supervisor, don't leave, this money will not be given to you even if you beat him to death - don't bring such bullying people. Today, you won't ask us for money. I'll go to the government to sue you for violating the "Copyright Law" of the Emperor Song Dynasty."
When the quarrel began, Shichong's three apprentices had already gone out and walked to Tianshuixiang Street. Standing outside the door, they saw that the young junior sister who was usually very ladylike suddenly became angry. However, the master was stunned and had no intention of asking them to come forward to help. The three apprentices thought about this... What about scholars... Since they felt that the image of the junior sister was a little unbearable to witness, they quickly bowed outside the door and said goodbye to the master.
After the three apprentices left, Huang E turned around and bowed to Shi Chuanfu, explaining: "Brother is too generous to them. You only charge 30% of the money you ordered by Lu Dalang just now, 30% of it!"
Shi Chuan opened his mouth and said nothing. Huang E knew Shi Chuan was not sophisticated and continued to bless her with a blessing, explaining: "Our Song Dynasty law stipulates that after an apprentice becomes a master, if an apprentice who has not taken the job, he needs to hand over 30% to 70% of the income to his master... If the apprentice becomes a master, then at least 30% of the income will be paid.
This is clearly stipulated by the law. The master has performed a ceremony with them. The relationship between master and apprentice was in the red contract of the yamen. They have only been studying for a month and started to take on work outside. Humph, which apprentice is not allowed to work for the master for three or five years before they can become masters? My brother still only allows them to pay 30% of their income, and their income is also at the minimum standard. Now they are so generous. If they become masters in the future, how can they control their apprentices? It is really a violation of the rules."
When Shi Chuan heard this, he opened his mouth and smiled foolishly: "It turns out that there is such a regulation. Isn't that... Isn't it that I will take a few more disciples and don't have to do anything in this life, just count the money - it turns out that the origin of "a teacher for one day, a father for the rest of my life" is here. They must respect me as a father for the rest of their lives... It's so beautiful."
Huang E gave another blessing: "Of course, there are fixed amounts of money in the world. As the saying goes, "Teach your apprentice and starve your master to death." After learning the master's skills, your apprentice naturally has to compete for business with your master. Our emperor and Song Dynasty established this law to encourage the master to teach his apprentice skills with all his heart - they all require the apprentice to submit part of the income, so the master will not worry about being robbed of business by his apprentice because there is a master in his business.
In this way, the master has high skills, of course he will have all the students all over the world. After he is old and weak, he will rely entirely on his disciples to provide food and clothing to spend his old age. Our Emperor Song encourages filial piety, which is also a kind of 'filial piety'. So...forget it, since my brother has agreed to Lu Da, then leave at 30%. But in the future, my brother should not speak randomly when encountering problems, and wait until I finish explaining, can I say it?”
Shi Chuan patted the printing plate in his hand and replied: "This is not a big problem. According to you... you still want to talk about the problem of the printing plate, right? This is easy to say. You will be in charge of all the work you need to pay for the money in the future. I just want to find a way to generate income."
Huang E was only concerned about arguing, and Gu Ersan stood beside her and listened. When she heard Huang E repeatedly regretting these books, she felt itchy. She quietly stepped forward and grabbed a few books, turned over a few pages, and immediately smiled happily, saying, "Dalang, my daughter is here, but she teaches everyone with all her heart and never dares to hide her private life. In short, it is also your female disciple. These books must be part of my daughter, and they cannot be divided into inside and outside."
