Chapter 902

Emperor Jiajing's heavy breathing sounded in Yuxi Palace, and after a while, Emperor Jiajing's voice sounded faintly:
"Huang Banban, what do you think of this matter?"

"The old slave has no opinion, but knows that Luo Xin pays more money, while Zhang Shijie pays less money."

Emperor Jiajing was stunned for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief: "You're right. It's just that the problem cannot be viewed in a simple way. Zhang Shijie's words may not be impossible, Luo Xin is not simple."

"What does it mean?"

"It's nothing interesting." Emperor Jiajing laughed twice and said, "Now the rumors in the capital are divided into two factions. They all think I'm old and confused, but I know very well that the people behind one side are Zhang Shijie and Xu Jie, and The other side is Luo Xin. I'm sitting here watching, to see if they can fight to the death, so that I can see more clearly who is greedy and who is honest, who is loyal and who is traitor. "

In this wave of rumors, Luo Xin's four stores opened.

Bookstore!

Luo Xin's four stores have long been the center of the capital, and countless people are paying attention to these four Luo Xin stores, so when Luo Xin's four stores officially opened, they attracted the attention of the entire capital.

Luo Xin's four storefronts are very mysterious, and they have never been decorated like this in Daming.When decorating, surround it with shelves, and then wrap cloth around the shelves, so that people don't know what the store is really about.Even after the decoration is completed, there is still a red cloth hanging on the plaque, making people wonder what is written on it.

However, when the red cloth was taken off, four large characters appeared: Juxian Bookstore.

After these four words appeared, everyone was not surprised. After all, Luo Xin still has the status of a great Confucian. Opening a bookstore is obviously in line with his status.

Luo Xin did not show up, at least not at the beginning of the opening.And the shopkeepers of the four stores all appeared, all four of them were unfamiliar faces, but their tone was shocking.According to their words, they are all Luo Xin's cousins ​​or cousins. As long as they compete with their counterparts in the capital by legitimate means, Juxian Bookstore will not hesitate to use normal means to accompany them to the end. But if anyone makes trouble behind their backs, they His cousin, or cousin Luo Xin, came to smash his house.

After hearing the words of Luo Xin's so-called cousin or cousin, everyone was dumbfounded.But then they were attracted by the layout of the first floor of the bookstore.

Rows of bookcases are placed there, each bookcase is full of books, and the room is full of books.

so many books?

And not one or two, there are almost all kinds of books.

Usually there are many books that are only available in those aristocratic families, poor disciples can't read them at all, even rich businessmen can't read them, because there are no books for sale in the bookstore.

but……

Today, here, both.

It's just that everyone stood blankly in front of the bookcase, and no one dared to do anything.They were a little confused about the situation. Could it be that the books were placed like this for people to browse casually?

And at this moment, that cousin of Luo Xin, or the cousin cupped his hands towards everyone and said:

"Everyone, just browse through the books here. As long as you don't break them, you don't need compensation. If you like it, there is a price at the back of the book, and you can pay at the counter in front of the door. But, please stick to your morals." , don’t steal books, or they will be sent to the Yamen, ruining your reputation.”

"Does that mean we can watch as long as we want here?" asked a scholar.

"Of course!" Luo Xin's cousin waved his hands domineeringly: "As long as you are not tired, you can stand here and watch for a long time. However, we don't care about the food."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed loudly.

"But..." Luo Xin's cousin paused for a moment, and after everyone calmed down, he pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor and said:

"See? This is the stairs leading to the second floor."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Someone secretly thought.

"Someone must have said in his heart, isn't this nonsense?" Luo Xin's cousin said with a smile.

Everyone laughed again, and Luo Xin's cousin asked triumphantly, "So, do you know where the second floor is?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Luo Xin's cousin turned serious and said, "My cousin Luo Xin once told me that even if we do business, we do business with culture and status."

Everyone nodded, this bookstore is indeed an elegant business.I heard Luo Xin's cousin continue to say:
"So, my cousin Luo Xin told me that since it is a business with culture and status, it must pay attention to morality. You can't just focus on making money. The first purpose of our Juxian Bookstore is to facilitate the world's scholars, and the second is Make money. Even if we only make a small profit."

Everyone couldn't help curling their lips, and thought to themselves: "The meager profit, the first purpose is to facilitate the world's scholars? Is there any businessman who doesn't want to make a lot of money?

No business, no rape! "

At this time, Luo Xin's cousin looked serious: "My cousin once said that the world's scholars are suffering, and the hardship is that there is no book to read. My cousin didn't have any books at the beginning. , Now my cousin's father-in-law appreciates it and lent the books at home to my cousin to read.

I think, among the scholars in the world, there are still disciples from poor families and disciples from aristocratic families, and their wisdom is not weaker than disciples from aristocratic families, but why do most of them lose their names?

Without him!

Can't read enough!

Now, our Juxian Bookstore will contribute to this, everyone please follow me. "

Luo Xin's cousin walked upstairs first, followed by a large group of curious people, and when they got to the second floor, a look of shock appeared on his face.The huge second floor is completely arranged like a school.Luo Xin's cousin said with a smile:
"Everyone sit wherever you want!"

After everyone was seated, Luo Xin's cousin stood in front and said, "I think everyone can see that this is the layout of a school, right?"

Everyone nodded and looked at him curiously. Luo Xin's cousin said solemnly:

"This is a reading room. All readers can stay overnight on the first floor, and then take it to the second floor to sit here and read. Our bookstore provides a place for reading for free."

"Boom..." These scholars were all sensational. If it was really what cousin Luo Xin said, it would be a good deed.

"Of course!" Luo Xin's cousin spoke again, and everyone was silent: "Maintaining such a large storefront with such a large floor, if we don't charge any money, it won't last long. If our bookstore If it turns yellow, everyone will lose a place to study. However, since it is for the sake of the world's scholars, we will naturally not charge a high fee, as long as we maintain a level that does not lose money."
