I was a young master in ancient times

Chapter 17 Slow-moving magazines

The wood piled up in the courtyard of the magazine office gradually decreased, and the number of tables, chairs and bookcases in the house gradually increased.The first issue of the magazine is basically completed, and everything is slowly on the right track.Now the magazine office has only four main editors, Ankang, Zhao Qin, Qiu Yuan, and Chen Ziche, Huzi is an office director, and a little flower dog.Ankang plans to recruit cleaning and security personnel.

Hearing that the young master wanted to recruit people, Hu Zi immediately thought carefully.He fanned Ankang graciously, and asked tentatively, "Master, do you think my parents can come to do the security and cleaning?"

"Okay." Ankang has always kept his fat and water in the fields of outsiders.What's more, the cleaning is responsible for cleaning here, and the security is looking for a night to watch the gate. "But I want to be diligent. I won't succeed if I'm not. I won't look at your face."

Hu Zi quickly replied, "Diligent, diligent, they are all diligent people. You must not let the young master pick mistakes."

Zhao Qin, who was on the side, also had some calculations in his mind.But Ankang agreed to Huzi, and he couldn't say anything more, so he didn't say anything.

Huzi went home that night and told his parents about it.Aunt Lin, the mother of the tiger, walked around the house happily, calculating the family's income over and over again.After a while, he sat down in front of Huzi again, and said anxiously, "We won't do badly to make Master An angry, right?"

Huzi is happy tonight, so it's rare for him to talk to his bad dog brother.At this time, the bad dog was sitting on the side of the kang, grabbing Huzi's hand and begging for steamed buns. "No. Mom, don't worry, the young master is the best person. I will lead you to the magazine office tomorrow. As long as you do things well, the young master will not make things difficult for others."

"That's good, that's good." Only then did Hu Ziniang let go of her heart a little bit, "The cleaning is to clean the house well, right? This mother is a good hand, you can see that the mother in the house has cleaned up everything. "

"Just tidy up the house." Hu Zi remembered the last time he met Zhao Xiaolin, he asked, "Has my cousin come back recently?"

Huzi's father was smoking a dry cigarette at the side, and took the time to reply, "I have been back twice recently. It is said that I have paid more money every month. Now I can run around with the shopkeeper."

"When will Zhao Dali come to give my sister a betrothal gift? My cousin said that he will marry Tao Zi back next year. My sister is one year older than my cousin."

Zhao Xiaoxia was holding the sole of her shoe aside, and after listening to her younger brother's words, she stopped her needle and thread and did not speak.Father Hu Zi patted the table on the kang heavily, "What dowry gift do you want that dog to give?"

"What?" When Huzi heard it, something was going on inside.He pinched the bad dog into his arms, tore a small piece of steamed bun and stuffed it for him. "What did Zhao Dali do?"

Hu Ziniang glanced at Xiaoxia at the side, sighed, gritted her teeth and said, "Zhao Dali's mother told me years ago that she would come to our house to propose marriage after the wheat was harvested. She met me before He talked to me enthusiastically, as if he was really with his in-laws. A few days ago, he hid when he saw me. It turned out that Zhao Dali knew a girl in the county when he was working in the county. That girl had only one daughter in her family. Vigorously rushing to be the son-in-law who got in on the door. Why is my surname Zhao now? I feel like our family has been defiled."

tarnish?Words can still come out of his mother's mouth.Hu Zi was also angry. He looked at the quiet sister and persuaded, "Sister, don't be sad. Fortunately, such a person didn't marry him. If he married him, I don't know what kind of life I will live. The young master will send me an extra salary now, don't worry, I will support you at worst."

Hu Ziniang immediately became displeased, and slapped Hu Zi on the head across the kang table, "You don't need to raise it. Now our family of three works in the county, and this kind of family is the number one in our village. Let's just wait." Let’s step on the threshold, matchmaker. Let’s take a look at something like Dali now, but we can’t look down on it.” I was worried about Xiaoxia’s marriage at first, but now it’s over, and their family will live a life that everyone in the village envies.

"Yes, yes, what mother said is true." Hu Zi hurriedly replied, as long as his mother and his sister could see through it.

Xiaoxia didn't want to listen to them discussing her marriage, so she put down the small dustpan in her hand, went to the kang and clapped her hands at the bad dog, "Bad dog, come to my sister, and my sister will take you to take a bath." She and Zhao Dali had been together since childhood. grow up.She has always liked Zhao Dali since she knew she liked someone.Now Mr. Ruyi turned his head to find someone else, without thinking about her at all.In the village, she was pointed at by people, some said she was poor, and said that she had suffered from others.My heart is really bitter.I tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep, and I couldn't figure it out. How could two people who had such a good relationship make a promise together, but how could they forget it when they turned around.

The elder sister was left at home to watch over the elder brother, and Hu Zi brought his parents to the office early.Huzi opened the door, and his mother found a broom and buried her head in cleaning.Huzi's father walked around the yard, and finally squatted at the door to smoke a pipe.

Without Huzi around, Ankang had a hard time combing his long hair.The cleaning boy in the house is very clumsy, and the hair he combed is not as good as he combed it himself.With a comb in his pocket, he strolled to Grandma An's yard.His grandfather was squatting in the yard smoking a pipe, when he saw Ankang coming, he asked with a smile, "Why are you here so early?"

"Look at you and grandma." Ankang passed by his grandfather and walked into the house, shouting as he walked, "Grandma, grandma, I'm here."

"The sparrows on the tree in the yard are not as happy as you call." Grandma An came out of the house with a smile, and saw his messy hair at a glance, "What's the matter with this hair? Come here quickly, grandma will comb it for you Comb."

There is grandma combing hair in the morning, what could be happier?Ankang couldn't figure it out. He had breakfast in his grandma's yard, and then ran to the yard where his uncle's family lived, called his cousin Houzai, and set off to school together.

"Hua'er smiled at me, and Xiaoniao said early, why are you carrying a big schoolbag. I am carrying a bag of explosives, and I am going to bomb the school." Ankang hummed along in a good mood.An Houzai was listening with black lines all over his head. These are all messed up words.Are the flowers and birds still mature?

Hu Ziniang is really diligent, cleaning the office inside and out, without any mess.I made an appointment with a tailor with Xu Li, and a group of people lined up in the yard waiting for their body measurements.Lao Pi rubbed his hands, smiled and said, "Why are you making new clothes for us?" He was the head of the stereotyped workers.He spoke a northern dialect with a rising tone.

Ankang replied, "We are a formal office. We have uniform uniforms. In summer, we wear two single clothes, in spring and autumn, we wear single clothes and a small jacket, and in winter we have two big cotton jackets. During festivals, we will distribute rice, flour, grain and oil. Work hard, We don't lose everyone."

We are very happy to meet such an owner.Lao Pi pondered, with such a boss, it is worthwhile to drag his family and travel three hundred miles.

Only five hundred copies of the first issue were printed.Except for the [-] copies agreed to be placed in Chen Xuan's store, the remaining [-] copies must be sold by themselves.That's when it's time to sell.Zhao Qin found ten teenagers in Xiawa Village.Emergency training in the office first, pointing to the page numbers on the book to let them remember which column is which page, and what is the main content.Once you have learned by heart and can speak, you will be given a small book bag, and you will carry five books on your back at a time, and go out to sell them.If you sell a copy, you can give five copper coins.

Ankang first promoted it in the academy.He first approached Mr. Ma, planning to have a talk, and hoped that the Academy could subscribe to the journal for a long time.Master Ma didn't even look at the book Ankang handed over, and just lowered his eyelids and said, "Young people can't be impetuous, they should calm down and read more. How many of you dare to entrust a large book with your knowledge?" Ankang didn't say anything else, He took the magazine, turned and left.Master Ma has always despised him, but he did not expect that he would despise him without giving him any face.

Chen Ziche said indignantly, "Master, how can you do this. We are only in charge of editing and proofreading. He doesn't even want to take a look at our magazine."

"It's okay, let's go to the county government office." Ankang wasn't discouraged at all, and immediately picked up his father's idea.

An Zhonghua knew the main content of the magazine run by Ankang.At this time, he saw that he had brought the finished product over, took it and sorted it according to the catalog, and scanned through each column before saying, "The magazine is well written. Each column has its own characteristics. The county government orders three copies for each issue."

"Father, do you only order three copies?"

An Zhonghua glanced at Ankang, and said, "How many literate people in this county government do you think?"

Alas, it's all the fault of illiteracy.

Sales went out for a day, and several people in Ankang also ran for a day.In the end, only five copies were sold, and An Zhonghua took care of Ankang to buy three copies.He couldn't help being a little discouraged. Things were very different from what he expected at the beginning.The first issue of the magazine could not be sold, and the second issue was already being edited.At present, the selected manuscripts are only the articles written by the students in the academy for the manuscript fee.

Zhao Qin sighed, and told the situation that the salesmen found out today, "Masters in private schools and schools all have their own ways of teaching and educating people. Books that are useful and habitual, how can they accept our magazines now?"

Qiu Yuan continued, "I also went to the bookstore today. The shopkeeper of the bookstore is only willing to accept two copies to test the waters. How is Guanshi Chen?"

Chen Xuan stared at this matter and his mouth froze.The grand scene of velvet flowers in full bloom still replayed in his mind from time to time, and he fantasized that he could overwhelm Xu Li with Ankang's hand.Now it's all right, all the books are in my hands.

For three days in a row, only one or two magazines were sold every day.The worried Ankang couldn't sleep at night.The stalls have already been paved, and the yard has been bought and workers hired. Did it fail once?He also thought about growing up and starting a company in the future.Let his grandma be the chairman.In the dream, he was carrying the book bag of the office, running around selling their magazines.After running several streets, only one copy was sold.
