After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Ping'an was filled with pride when he heard this. His aunt was such a good person.

When the school was over, the teacher selected five students and asked them to go back with Ping An.

Follow Ye Qing's arrangements for copying the book, and make sure not to damage the original book.

Ye Qing saw that the people who came were all children from the village.

"Come in quickly, these are freshly picked fruits, please feel free to eat them." Ye Qing greeted them warmly.

"Aunt, we are here to copy books. The headmaster asked us to thank you." This is the leading child, and he is a good talker.

"You're welcome. The books have played their role only when everyone has read them."

Seeing that they were a little restrained, Ye Qing asked Ping'an to entertain them, and she got up and went into the house to get a book.

Ye Qing took out five books first, "One for each of you, you can take one home and copy it. Return it after you're done, and I'll give you a new one."

Ye Qing stuffed a book into each of their pockets and gave each of them a washed pear.

"I want to ask you for a favor. I want two handwritten copies of the book. I don't care if your private school wants them. I want two copies for a hundred coins each."

Several children's eyes lit up, "Auntie, when do you want it?"

"Just give it to me within a month. The whole book must be written by one person from beginning to end. I don't care whether you find someone to copy it or copy it yourself. I just pay you."

After Ye Qing finished speaking his mind, he brought over some more paper.

This is the paper she bought in the capital city. It is thicker than ordinary paper and can be preserved longer.

"Don't worry, auntie, we will definitely send it to you as soon as possible."

One hundred cents was still very tempting for the kids. The books were not thick and they could finish copying one in a few nights.

By the time Ye Qing sent everyone away, Ping An was almost grumbling.

"What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy?"

"Auntie, one hundred coins for a book is a bit expensive. If you find someone to do this outside, fifty coins will be enough. We also provide paper."

"You feel sorry for your aunt because she doesn't trust people from that area to do this. Besides, she doesn't need this little money. They've worked so hard, so this is a little reward for them."

Ping An was still unhappy, "You can wait until I grow up, and I will help you copy the books."

Ye Qing loved Ping An's appearance. "If Ping An wants to copy books, he should practice calligraphy. Aunt likes beautiful calligraphy."

Ping An was convinced. What he hated most was practicing calligraphy. He would complete the homework assigned by the teacher every day and would never write a single extra word.

Ping An's face was wrinkled, as if he was making a difficult decision.

Ping'an is indeed struggling with himself. His aunt will definitely buy him a lot of books in the future, but his handwriting is not good, so his aunt will not use him to copy books.

How much money does this have to be given away? Ping'an forces himself to practice two more pages of characters every day, which makes his family very happy.

In order to motivate Ping An, Ye Qing always gave money in front of him.

Ping An really fell for this trick and worked harder and harder in practicing calligraphy and reading.

Ye Qing looked at the ten books in her hands. She put the original books back in the study.

There are two newly copied copies, one of which is kept in the study and everyone can see it.

Ye Qing took the other copy to the dock. She set up a bookshelf in a corner of the cloth shop and placed the books on it.

The shop has been tidied up, but Ye Qing is not in a hurry to open it. She collects all kinds of elegant things from nearby and puts them in the shop.

Things are getting better at the cloth workshop, everyone has become skilled at weaving, and the first batch of silkworms in the village have also been raised.

Ye Yuan started to get busy, collecting silk cocoons and hiring people to process them.

Jiang Jun has also researched and developed cotton cloth, and can now weave it stably.

Ye Qing looked at the cotton cloth woven by Jiang Jun and his team. It felt very soft and fit well when made into clothes.

Ye Qing gave Jiang Jun ten taels of silver, which was considered an innovation.

Ye Qing also gave two taels of silver as a reward to each person in Jiang Jun's group.

Now people in the workshop are working in full swing and are full of motivation every day.

Ye Qing also took out a small shop specifically for exchanging books.

She hired a scholar to stay in the store every day. Since there was not much work in the store, the scholar could earn money while preparing for the imperial examination.

There are only a few books in the store now, and Ye Qingding’s rule is that copies can be exchanged with books already in the store.

You can also give a copy directly to the store. If you don’t want to copy it yourself, you can ask the bookstore manager to copy one, and you can get a 10% discount coupon.

In all of Ye Qing's shops, one hundred kilograms can be purchased at a 10% discount based on the negotiated price.

Don’t think that one hundred kilograms is too little. There are only a few books in the shop now. They can just pick a few books and ask the shopkeeper to copy them, and they can get a quota of several hundred kilograms.

Ye Qing did not limit the quantity, so you might suffer a loss in the early stage because you can basically get a 10% discount coupon.

It won’t be so easy in the later stage, as the shop will no longer issue 10% off coupons for some books.

As soon as this shop opened, several workshops were notified.

Old customers who come to buy things will be told this.

The shops in the city all have scholars in their families. If you are worried about bringing the original document over, you can ask the servants to copy it and send it over.

The restaurants in the city were the first to get the news. They used a lot of wine, so they sent their books from home as soon as possible to grab the quota.

The 10% discount coupons are valid for two years, and they will probably be able to use them all up in half a year.

They can sell hundreds of kilograms of wine every day, and there are many people coming to the vermicelli workshop, many of whom are from other places who come to purchase goods.

I have a few books to kill time, and I got a 10% discount coupon, which can save me several hundred coins on each purchase.

Ye Qing likes customers from other places the most. The books they have are rarely available locally and they don’t usually have access to these books.

Some students who were going to the capital to take exams would want to buy some wine when passing by the dock, but they were short of money, so they would buy one or two books to save some money.

Ye Qing often came to check, and when he saw something suitable for his fifth brother and his brothers to take the imperial examination, he would ask someone to copy a few copies and send them to the private school and his brothers.

Ye Qing would select some interesting storybooks and read them to the villagers in the evening when they were enjoying the cool air.

Everyone has now formed a habit of sitting in the square in front of the meeting hall after dinner.

It's cool and ventilated here, and Ye Qing is telling stories to everyone.

When Ye Qing ran out of stories, everyone would share the anecdotes they had heard.

The villagers would sit for an hour or two every night. By this time the weather was cooler and the heat in the house was much less, so they could go back to bed and sleep well.

Children prefer to follow their parents to play in the square. Their families will bring them a cool mat, and when they are tired of playing with their friends, they can lie on the mat.

The elders at home fanned us, watched the shooting stars in the sky, and listened to various interesting stories.

Sometimes when they are tired from playing, they fall asleep after listening for a while. When everyone leaves, I will not wake them up, but take them home directly.

When I woke up the next day, I was in my own bed.
