If you open a bookstore in a small city, the rent will be low, but if no one knows how to read, it will be useless to sell it.
Tsunade sits in Mingchuan Town, always paying attention to the sales of "Prehistoric".
These days, there are no mobile phones, no BB radios, not even a radio station, and the news is extremely difficult.
However, ninjas have their own ninja communication methods, so Tsunade can also get sales information from all over the world within one day.
At eight o'clock in the morning, [Tranquility Bookstore] opened, and "Prehistoric" began to be officially sold. By ten o'clock in the morning, the results were sent back one after another.
"The Kingdom of Fire, Capital City, 800 copies have been sold out, please restock!"
"Konoha Village, 600 copies have been sold out, please restock!"
"Mist Hidden Village, 500 copies have been sold out, please restock!"
"The Kingdom of Water, the capital, 800 copies have been sold out, please restock!"
"Am I being a little conservative?" Looking at the replenishment information from all directions, Tsunade was a little confused.
When she received Ning Yuan's manuscript, she didn't think much of it. What kind of book could a little kid write? Or a fairy tale?
But after watching it, I felt something was wrong.
This book is so beautiful!
And, it’s very real!
If she hadn't come from the Thousand Hands Clan, if Ning Yuan hadn't personally handed the manuscript into her hands, she would have really regarded these stories as ancient history!
She would think so, let alone others?
At that time, she felt that this book should be popular.
If the content is good enough, the writing style and uncommon words will not be a problem, but will become a bonus item to improve the quality.
It was only after realizing the excellence of this book that Tsunade gave up the idea of building a theater first and converted it into a bookstore.
She had tried her best to think of this book as a popular one, but she still underestimated it.
It was also her first time doing business. Although the shopkeeper she hired said she could print more copies, to be conservative, she only printed 20,000 copies of the first edition. As a result, the sales volume was
"The popularity of this book may be comparable, eh?" Tsunade thought about it and couldn't think of any book that could compare with it.
After all, before this, the publishing industry in the Fire Country and other countries was not prosperous.
"Huh!" Along with the whistling wind, the trio landed outside the main hall where Tsunade worked.
"The book has been published!" Ning Yuan walked in and saw "The Great Desolation" still smelling of ink in front of Tsunade, so he took a copy and flipped through it.
The writing is clear and the spacing is appropriate.
The most rare thing is that according to Ning Yuan's request, these books are written from left to right.
Originally, books in the ninja world were in the same line as scrolls, so they were printed from right to left, top to bottom.
It’s simply anti-human!
Although it’s not impossible to read once you get used to it, if you print like this, you won’t be able to print many words on one page.
A book of the same thickness can print 20 words horizontally, but may only be able to print 15 words vertically.
This is very convenient for profiteers to rip off customers, but although [Tranquility Bookstore] is for making money, making money is not its main purpose.
Rather than making money, Ning Yuan values the educational function of bookstores more.
"It has been published, and the results are pretty good!" Tsunade handed the several reports she had just received to Ning Yuan.
"The Kingdom of Water and Kirigakure Village were sold out first?" Ning Yuan was a little surprised. Logically speaking, the second strongest village in the ninja world should be Kumogakure Village.
"There are many bloodstained families in Kirigakure Village, so the literacy rate is naturally high!" Tsunade understood Ning Yuan's doubts and explained: "Although Kirigakure Village is strong, there are not many literate people."
Ning Yuan nodded, as if that was the case.
Hiruzen Sarutobi of Konoha is still planning to build a family in the world, but Kumogakure Village is already there.
The Fourth Raikage didn't pass it on to his son not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't have a son.
"What about Yanyin Village? There should be a lot of literate people in Yanyin Village!" Ning Yuan asked.
There are no ninja families in Iwagakure Village, so Onoki thought of a strategy. If there are not enough elites, let's increase the quantity.
There is power in numbers!
So you can see that when it comes to Iwagakure, it is basically related to quantity. For example, the Third Raikage is one against ten thousand, and Kanna Kunqiao Minato is one against fifty.
Iwagakure always has a numerical advantage.
There is great power in numbers, but it is not always a good thing.
The logistical pressure faced by many people is also great.
Therefore, once the supply line of Iwagakure Village is cut off, it will naturally be impossible to fight.
"There are indeed many people in Iwagakure who can read, so I sent a lot of goods, a total of 1500 volumes!" Tsunade said, "So I guess I have to wait a while."
"That's it!" Ning Yuan nodded, and then handed over a stack of manuscripts: "These are the second and third chapters of The Great Desolation."
Before, my writing level was not raised, and I could only write one book a week. Now it has been raised, and I can write two books a week.
The Second Period of the Ancient World begins with Hongjun becoming a saint and ends with Nuwa creating humans. The period includes the rise of demon clan and the war between lich and lich.
The Three Ancients begins with Nuwa's creation of humans and ends with the Lich War, including the reincarnation of Houtu, the Human-Monster War, and the Lich War.
It's all full of useful information.
"Is this publishing speed too fast?" Tsunade asked: "It hasn't reached the upper limit yet!"
"This book has strong coherence. If you buy one, you will buy two, and if you buy two, you will buy one. They promote each other." Ning Yuan said, "And I write books very fast, so it doesn't get in the way."
It's five thousand years ago, and it's still in vernacular. How many books have to be written? I can't finish it if I write too slowly!
"Okay, it's your shop anyway!" Tsunade said, passing the book aside, and Ning Yuan realized that there was someone else in the room.
She is a little girl, not tall, with a watermelon head, looking here with curiosity.
"Shinyin!" Ning Yuan greeted her with a smile.
Shizune's cheeks turned red, she nodded slightly, hugged the manuscript and left.
Tsunade didn't pay attention to this scene, but took out a report and handed it to Ning Yuan: "Let's take a look at the construction results this week!"
"Tsk, it's really not easy to manage a city!" Ning Yuan sighed as he looked through the items.
First of all, Mingchuan Town began to vigorously recruit refugees. However, it is not a war period, and there are not that many refugees. Moreover, because of the lack of information, farmers from other places do not know that Mingchuan Town will give away land when they come here.
So Tsunade chose to cooperate with merchants coming and going from Mingchuan Town to buy people.
There are no refugees in the Land of Fire, but there are in other countries, such as the Land of Rain, which is still in chaos.
The people of the Kingdom of Rain only need to walk on land for a short time before taking a boat directly to Mingchuan Town, which only takes a few days.
Secondly, cement plants, iron smelting plants, glass plants, coal plants, and pharmaceutical plants have also been built. Although the scales are not large, they have solved the problem of having and not having.
Once these factories are built, roads and buildings can also be repaired. We cannot wait until the refugees arrive, when work can be used to provide relief.
Finally, the school in Mingchuan Town was also established.
The address of the school is the manor of the former city lord of Mingchuan Town. This manor not only covers an area larger than the ancestral home of the Thousand Hands Clan, but also has complete facilities. With a little repair and adding some windows, it can be used as a school.
Not only primary schools, but also middle schools and universities can be placed here.
The only problem is, there are no teachers.
Of course, you can definitely recruit people by spending a lot of money to recruit, but Ning Yuan wants to engage in Chinese education, so he should teach it from the beginning, instead of learning Ninja World for two years halfway and then change.
“It’s really like spending money like water!”
There is a number behind each construction item, which clearly states the cost. Except for the ready-made place for the school, which does not cost much, the expenditures of the cement factory and the steel plant are extremely huge.
If we only rely on the assets of Tsunade and the Senju clan, it will no longer be enough.
Fortunately, penicillin was also manufactured by Tsunade. Businessmen saw the effects of penicillin, and while acting as agents, they also injected a large amount of funds and loans into Mingchuan Town.
Tsunade used these funds to establish a Mingchuan Bank, but the finance was too complicated, and Tsunade only established an empty shell. The subsequent filling and management work had to be done by Ning Yuan.
In fact, Ning Yuan doesn't understand finance, but at least he knows how modern banks make profits. He can first have a physical form, and then slowly fill in the spirit.
It’s like exploring and moving forward.
Chapter 124: Capture Sarutobi Hiroshi
"Once the factory is built, the funds should gradually become abundant." Ning Yuan did some math on the paper and then raised his head and said.
Cement, iron-making, etc. are all supplied locally, and these can be ignored.
However, novels and records are sold all over the world, which is equivalent to using funds from all over the world to build Mingchuan Town.
The profits from the book industry are supposed to be transparent, but Mingchuan Town has improved the papermaking process and is close to a big river, so it uses a lot of water power for printing.
Therefore, the cost of a single book is much lower than that of other printing plants and bookstores.
Moreover, "Tranquility Bookstore" and Mingchuan Town Printing Factory are both owned by the same owner, so there is no middleman to make the difference.
Therefore, for books of the same thickness and price, "Tranquility Bookstore" can make more money than other booksellers.
As for records, this is a completely new thing. No one knows how this thing is made, so the price is set by Ning Yuan.
The profit of this thing is extremely high. Selling one record is equivalent to selling ten books. Not to mention, if you buy the record, you also have to buy a record player or stereo.
When you buy a stereo and a record player, you can't just buy a record. No matter how good the song is, you will get tired of it after listening to it dozens of times.
A steady stream of records represents a steady stream of money.
This money is naturally a drop in the bucket for a country, but it is more than enough to develop Mingchuan Town.
The main problem in Mingchuan Town now is still the lack of people.
There are only less than 50,000 people in total, but there are several factories waiting to be started, roads to be built, and fields to be cultivated. One person can't wait to be used as two.
"I have already begun to solve the manpower problem. In the future, there will be a steady stream of people coming from all directions!" Ning Yuan said.
"As long as there are people!" Tsunade's face looked a little haggard, but her spirit was unprecedentedly high.
In the first half of her life, she was busy but kept losing, so she felt like she didn't know why she was alive.
But now, every day for her is meaningful. She can see the city change with her own eyes. This sense of accomplishment is far beyond what being the world's number one medical ninja can match.
After bidding farewell to Tsunade, the trio boarded the White Bird to rush to the event, and finally arrived at the event venue before one o'clock in the afternoon.
Without further ado, I changed my clothes and started performing directly.
Two hours later, we bid farewell to the excited audience and left.
The three of them flew into the sky on the White Bird. However, less than half an hour after taking off, Ning Yuan controlled the White Bird to lower its height and reached a position more than 600 meters above the ground.
"Why did it land?" Yuhi Hong asked.
"There's someone down there!"
Minato and Kurenai Yuhi were both stunned, then looked down.
In the woods below, a ninja wearing a Konoha ninja vest was stepping on the trees, turning into a phantom and moving quickly.
And his route was nowhere else but the next performance place for the three of them.
Minato asked in a low voice: "Sent by the Third Generation?"
"It must be!" Ning Yuan nodded.
He didn't ask any more questions. The three of them were all smart people. How could they not see the intention of the third generation.
"Actually, he was present at last week's performance. I thought he was enough to stare at me once, but I didn't expect him to come every time?" Ning Yuan frowned.
Minato also frowned, he already has me, what does it mean to send another person here, he doesn't trust me?
And that's not the point.
The point is, the White Bird flies fast and is difficult to track. No one can usually spot where the three of them go on the White Bird. This makes it very convenient for Ning Yuan to go to Mingchuan Town.
But if there is always someone waiting at the destination, he will notice something wrong with the time within a few times, and then wonder if Ning Yuan and the others took a turn halfway, thus discovering the plan of Ning Yuan's organization.
"He is wearing a Jounin vest, and he also has the clan glory of the Sarutobi clan. He should be a Jounin of the Sarutobi clan. Jounin of the Sarutobi clan are proficient in attribute ninjutsu, and are also very skilled in physical skills. A few people are also good at it. Swordsmanship, and I'm not sure if he knows the psychic skills of the Sarutobi clan!" Minato introduced the information about the Sarutobi clan in a thorough manner, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Ning Yuan.
The meaning is obvious, do you want to do it?
"Are you confident?" Ning Yuan asked.
