The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

On the first day of September, the bookstore at the entrance of the Academy of Sciences was officially renamed "Royal Bookstore", and many "Royal Bookstore" branches opened across the country.

There is also a branch of Royal Bookstore next to Zhaoyue Primary School. You can get discounts when you show the student card of Zhaoyue Primary School.

In addition to the two mathematics books jointly written by Jun Moxiao and His Royal Highness, these royal bookstores also began to sell various agricultural and engineering works, geography, and various miscellaneous books other than the Four Books and Five Classics. Welcome——A booklet of arithmetic study questions compiled by Song Qingyue.

The business is so hot that there is a long queue in front of the unopened gate every morning.

Even the study booklets need to be snapped up. Generally speaking, after the goods arrive in the morning, they will be sold out within half an hour. After that time, they can't be bought at all.

After Di Bao's publicity on the winners of the mathematics competition, everyone now treats the mathematics competition as an imperial examination.

What are you kidding, as long as you win the first prize, you can be awarded an official if you take the exam for a scholar. Where can you find such a good thing like a pie in the sky?Not easy to do math?Isn't it just adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing?What's so difficult about it?

Those scholars who failed to pass the examination for many years, those who failed to pass the Jinshi examination for many years, or the top three and Jinshi who failed to be awarded the official examination for many years, all snatched up those math study booklets. This is their new hope!
In addition to these people, there are many accountants and yamen officials who have begun to use their brains.

In terms of arithmetic, who can compare with them?

For a while, citizens and businessmen in the streets and alleys, or landlords and gentry in the countryside, everyone was talking about the math competition.

They didn't know before that if they knew that there was such a good reward for winning the first prize in the math competition, they would definitely go to the capital to participate in the math competition!

There are also foreign businessmen who have spotted the business opportunity and bought hundreds of newly printed copies of the day at once, causing bookstores to start restricting purchases.

This math study book, mainly written by Song Qingyue, was printed by the cabinet's newspaper office, and the shipment volume increased from 250 copies per day to [-] copies per day.The two royal bookstores in the capital each divided [-] copies, and the rest were shipped to the branches of the royal bookstores in other prefectures in the Zhili area for sale.

Since this exercise book is very thick and the pages are very large, the price of each book is as high as five taels of silver.

In just half a month, the sales volume of this collection of math problems reached as high as 5000 taels of silver.The goods that come out every day can be sold out.

At the beginning, the cost of board making was relatively high. After removing the cost of paper and ink, as well as the labor costs of the bureaucrats and bookstore clerks, the final profit was about 7000 taels of silver, which was split between Song Qingyue and the emperor.

That is to say, in the past half a month, Song Qing Yueguang sold more than 500 taels of silver for selling teaching supplementary books.

Naturally, the emperor also received more than 500 taels.

The Emperor, who loves money so much, was so happy that he couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear.

Half a month, easy and simple, more than 3000 taels!
In the future, if the printing volume is increased, the profit will continue to increase.

But now the cabinet office is running at full capacity, and the workers and officials are all exhausted, and they are already recruiting new people.

The scale of the printing plant must be expanded!

So the task of establishing the Royal Printing Factory fell on Song Jianming's head again.

Who told Mr. Song to be so capable?The emperor took it easy, and couldn't find anyone who could replace him for the time being.

"Your Majesty, don't let your own daughter-in-law do this. I'm old, and I have more energy than energy!" Song Jianming recommended his three daughters to the emperor with a bitter face and a reluctance. .

The emperor snorted with his nose: "You are serious about letting you rest for a few years! Your daughter is very busy now. Where is the time to do this? You have to continue this job if you don't take it!"

The emperor thought to himself, I am devoting myself to this country every day, sleep long and sleep at night, and the courtier actually fishes and grows vegetables in the mansion every day, is there something wrong?He must not be left idle like this.

Song Jianming's leisurely retirement life was disrupted, but the boss was the emperor, and he couldn't refuse at all, so he had to go back and continue to work for the boss, and began to prepare for the establishment of the Royal Printing Factory.Within two days, he received another order from the emperor: to ask him to sort out a supplementary book for the imperial examinations, that is, to collect the top [-] articles of the previous general examinations and palace examinations, and everyone who may be selected as the main and auxiliary masters. The articles written by the examiners when they were young were all put together and bound into volumes for sale.

Song Qingyue mentioned this a long time ago. The ancient version of "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation". Come on, it happens to be the year of serious scientific examinations next year, so the printing will start before New Year's Day, and if it is sold for ten taels of silver per copy, it will definitely be sold out.
