Chapter 489

The three brothers are going to listen to man Bao's suggestion and send their children to school. Old Zhou tou will not object any more.

Although he is the head of the family, he won't object too much if the children under him make the same decision.

He just doesn't like to pay for himself.

However, although he didn't pay, he agreed to Qian's idea of sharing the money again.

Last night, not only did Zhou Dalang and his wife have a meeting, but old Zhou tou and his wife also whispered for half an evening.

How important reading is, just look at manbao.

Did they know privet privet and yam before? Do you know how to grow ginger?

Let alone sell wheat to master Bai at a high price.

In the past, they thought that reading could be an examiner, a teacher and an accountant, but they didn't expect that reading could have so many benefits.

So deep in his heart, Lao Zhou also wanted to send his children to school.

But there are too many children at home!

Not to mention that they already have, they will have children in the future, and he still has two sons who haven't been married.

If a precedent is set now, will children born in the future be given away?

If you want to send them all, you don't have so much money at home.

Although there are nearly 400 liang of silver at home now, it is really used for reading. This money is not much at all.

Moreover, the number of students is different from that of students. Now the children have no contradiction. When they have it in the future, they should turn over the old account.

No matter how small things can be noisy.

Qian also felt that it was not good for the public to pay money, so she discussed with old Zhou tou and said, "in the future, there is still a big place for each room to spend money. They can't always take money from us. I mean, divide some money this time and change the rules at home. In the future, in addition to the output of the field, each room will pay 50% of the money they earn, and the other 50% will be kept by themselves."

Lao Zhou thought for a moment and nodded.

So the next day, the old Zhou family heard the good news.

Man Bao was so excited that he asked happily, "Dad, how much can I share?"

"Why are you so happy with so much money?"

"I have a lot of money, but I also like money. Who is unhappy with more money?"

Old Zhou tou thought it was the same and said, "I discussed with your mother last night and followed the last time. The eldest, the second, the third and the family are fifteen Liang, the old forty Liang, and you are five Liang."

Everyone was happy.

Old Zhou tou told him, "although you have money, don't spend it indiscriminately. Children need a lot of money to go to school. You don't have to buy books. Let man Bao copy some books. You can make do with it, but you have to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Just use one of them..."

Man Bao: "... Dad, big head and big girl, they all have to go to school. I have to copy it for a long time."

"What are you afraid of? The class doesn't start until after the Lantern Festival. Isn't there ten days left? Try it first and see how many copies you can copy. "

Man Bao feels that what she just thought is really an incomparable mistake. How can she feel that her father is generous? She is still so stingy.

She hummed, turned her head, and then said to Zhou Dalang: "brother, if you go to the county, just buy pen and ink, and I'll buy paper."

Manbao's paper has always been bought from the mall. It's cheap and easy to use, but it saves too much money than buying it from a bookstore.

So she can always use paper as she likes.

After thinking about it, Zhou Dalang said, "let's give you the money. Take some nieces and nephews to buy it. We don't understand this either."

Old Zhou tou immediately said, "yes, you lead them. Aren't you familiar with the shopkeeper of the bookstore? You make him cheaper. Our family buys such things."

Man Bao's learning utensils were bought by Zhou Erlang every time except the first time she carried them to the bookstore.

Either led by Zhou Silang, or led by Wu Lang and Zhou LIULANG, or with Bai Shanbao, she chose the books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone she wanted to buy anyway.

Therefore, the old Zhou family are very confident in her vision and bargaining power in this regard.

The main reason is that the shopkeeper of the bookstore saw that he was a scholar. When he paired up with him, they couldn't help being weak, and they had to be three points weaker in bargaining.

So it's better to read.

After reading a book, no matter who you meet, you can bargain righteously.

Man Bao had no problem. When he received the money from his brothers and sisters in law, his eyes turned and he had an idea.

The next day she took a wad of paper and a few strings of copper money and ran to Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang. She asked them excitedly, "do you want to copy books to sell?"

They were very interested, "what book do you copy?"

"It's the simple thousand word essay and the Analects of Confucius," man Bao said. "I brought both paper and money."

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang are not short of money, but they are very interested in making money by copying books.

Man Bao smiled happily, put the paper on the desk and said, "a Book of twenty words."

Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly and had dragged the paper, but Bai Shanbao knew how much a thousand character text in the bookstore would cost.

Hand copied, the worst kind needs 100 words, not to mention those printed. The best kind of paper needs 300 words.

Whether it is the former or the latter, man Bao's price is almost comparable to that of woad.

So Bai Shanbao didn't like it. "You're too few."

"A lot. I don't mind if you have ink spots in your book or if you don't write neatly, as long as you have good words."

When Bai Shanbao thought about it, his request seemed very low.

Man Bao asked the bookkeeper about the rules and prices of copying books, so he was confident enough to say to the two partners: "the requirements for books in the bookstore are strict, there can be no wrong words, no ink dots, they have to be arranged neatly, and the words have to be good-looking..."

Man Bao once copied a lot of books to Mr. Zhuang. He wanted to take some copy work from the bookstore to play. Unfortunately, after reading her words, the shopkeeper of the bookstore cruelly refused her.

She consciously talked about copying books. She was already on Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang. As a result, she didn't get the work of copying books from the shopkeeper, and they were even more impossible.

Only she can use the books they copied.

But she also asked, "this is a book for teaching and educating people. You have to copy it well. No typos or omissions are allowed."

Bai Shanbao was persuaded by her, nodded and said, "don't worry. If there is a typo, we'll copy it again."

Anyway, it is copied page by page. If there is a typo on any page, just throw it away.

Man Bao was happy and took out his pen and ink from his bookcase. "I'll copy it with you."

Bai Shanbao was curious, "why do you want so many books?"

"Give it to my nephew and niece. They're going to school, too."

Bai Erlang couldn't help staring. "Aren't there more than ten people in the school?"

"How can there be so many? Five heads and six heads can't go. It's just seven."
