?Chapter 70: Chapter 68 This time we’re really going to make a fortune! Chapter 70: Chapter 68 This time we’re really going to make a fortune! During dinner, the family was exceptionally happy.
Though the Zizania business was temporarily halted due to the flood, they welcomed the task of printing books, and once again had something to look forward to.
Granny Lei laughed and said, “I never expected that movable-type printing would be so convenient. The characters on a page of paper came out all at once. Xuanbao is really amazing.”
Madam Jiang nodded but she also had some concerns, “Printing is fast, but can the bookstore accommodate so many books?”
Ruo Xuan was someone with an exceptionally strong ability to learn. Previously, when Ruo Chuan was selling Zizania and had contacted several taverns in the area, she immediately thought of how to sell books, “If the bookstore can’t hold them, we can sell them to academies! The county academy, the prefectural academy, there are so many academies, and they all need a good number of books every year. The books required vary with each period, so there’s sure to be business.”
“Moreover, our books are different from those of other bookstores. The books sold by bookstores are copied by different scholars, so the handwriting varies, and the appearance isn’t uniform. Plus, bookstores rely on scholars to copy books to sell, limiting the quantity. Academies need to purchase from several bookstores to have enough. We are different. No matter how many books the academies need, we can provide and any time they want!”
“Even if the academies don’t need books regularly, once we’ve earned enough silver, we can set up our own bookstore to print some books and sell them there. Taverns can open one in the county town and another in the prefecture city, and so can our bookstore! Our printed books can be priced a bit cheaper than those copied by students in other bookstores, and everyone will certainly come to buy.”
Ruo Xuan believed that once students had bought books printed by her family, they would rush to buy them, for they contained the celestial aura of Lord Literary Star.
It’s just that all the silver at home added up to a little over two hundred, not even enough for three hundred—far too little. It’s not enough to open a bookstore, only enough to build a few additional rooms. They would have to wait until they had earned more silver to open the bookstore.
Ruo Xuan’s words left everyone in the room astonished!
