    ?

    After Du Qi left the Prince's Mansion, he took a carriage and went straight to the tea shop.  Now Qianxue is in charge of the tea shop.  With Qianxue around and Du Qi in the tea shop, he could listen to music and pass the boring time.

    In this era, there are no computers, no TVs, and no entertainment items.  So Du Qi was fine, so he could only listen to the music to pass the time.  But when Du Qi arrived at the tea shop, he saw the waiter who was running the tea shop and asked about Qianxue's situation.

    In the past, Qianxue always sat in the lobby.

    Today, I didn't see anyone.

    The waiter who runs the tea shop replied that Qianxue was in the elegant room on the second floor.  Du Qi nodded, and went straight to the elegant room on the second floor.  When Du Qi entered, Qianxue was buried in her book, immersed in it, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing joy, she was already intoxicated by it, and she didn't notice Du Qi came at all.

    This situation made Du Qi curious.

    What kind of book can make Qianxue intoxicated by it, even unable to extricate herself.

    Du Qi walked over quietly. He stood beside Qianxue, looked down from a high position, and saw the contents of the book.  Although Du Qi didn't read it from the beginning, but after reading it for a while, he roughly understood it.

    This is a novel.

    Even so, in Du Qi's view, the plot of this novel is like a running account, without any tension, it is about a man and a woman. However, this kind of book makes Qianxue read it fascinatedly  Is intoxicated.

    This surprised Du Qi.

    Du Qi shook his head, simply walked aside, sat down and closed his eyes to rest, waiting quietly.

    Time passed by little by little.

    After nearly two quarters of an hour, Qianxue felt lost after reading it, and said to herself: "Oh, it's a pity that Erlang and Mrs. Tuoba couldn't get together!"

    Zhang Erlang is the hero.

    Lady Tuoba is a woman.

    In Du Qi's eyes, the running account of two idiots complaining about women is nothing but a moaning, but in the eyes of readers like Qian Xue, it is like a treasure, and they can't put it down.

    After Qianxue sighed, she suddenly saw Du Qi sitting not far away, and said in surprise: "Ah, young master, why are you here? Why didn't you say anything when you came to the tea shop?"

    Du Qi had a playful look on his face, and said: "I have been in the elegant room for a while. I saw that you were watching with enthusiasm, so I didn't bother you."

    When Qianxue heard this, her face blushed.

    She didn't expect that Du Qi would find out about her reading, which was a bit embarrassing.

    Qianxue explained: "Young master, this is a new book published by Xiaoxiaosheng. The total number of copied books is only two or three hundred. I managed to snatch one, and I asked an acquaintance to leave it.  Relationship. Xiaoxiaosheng's book is extremely popular, not easy to buy, and sold out as soon as it comes out."

    In this era, there was no movable type printing, mainly woodblock printing.  But woodblock printing is slow and easily blurred, so in most cases, it has to be handwritten.

    Booksellers who sell books have to spend a lot of effort to copy these books and then sell them.  It is precisely this that makes books so precious.

    In fact, nowadays, things are still much better, after all, there is woodblock printing.  Compared with the period at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, it was mainly written on bamboo slips. At that time, there was no mature paper, and reading was even more difficult.

    Today, there are all kinds of paper.

    Therefore, the cost of studying has been reduced a lot, and it is no longer like the hardships of the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty.

    Even so, it is not easy.

    Du Qi stretched out his fingers to the books and beckoned, Qianxue handed the books to Zhang Xiu.  Du Qi glanced roughly, this book is not thick, there are not many words, and the copied words are not neat, especially the plot is extremely strange.

    Unfortunately, Qianxue watched it with gusto.

    Alas, it is still material and cultural life, which is too scarce to make people so rare.

    Du Qi stroked the book in his hand, but he had an idea in his heart.  The memory in his mind is very clear now, it is like having a library, there are countless books, there are also countless novels, there are crazy men and women, and there are heroic and magnificent martial arts stories.

    These books can all be used.

    Du Qi's tea shops and restaurants are now on the right track.  He had nothing to do, so when he saw the books in Qianxue's hands, he was already thinking about building a bookstore to sell books.

    This is an opportunity.

    Not only can it enrich the material and cultural life of the people of Tang Dynasty, but also allow him to earn a lot of money.?.

    Du Qi had a plan in mind, so he returned the book to Qianxue, saying: "The standard of your book is really poor. I need to read books in the future and find some good ones."

    "yes!"

    Qianxue slightly lowered her head to answer.

    For Qianxue, although she is obsessed with this novel, in fact, reading such a book is really not very upscale.  So her understanding of Du Qi's words was to let her read some useful books, not such stupid books about men complaining about women.

    Du Qi stood up and said, "You can figure out what to do with the tea shop. I'm going back."

    "yes!"

    Qian Xue responded, and immediately asked: "Since the young master is here, don't you want to rest at the tea shop?"

    "No, there are still things to do."

    After Du Qi said, he left the tea shop straight away, and took a carriage to the direction of the restaurant.  Today's restaurants are already on the right track, and even large-scale banquet reservations have been scheduled for half a month, which can be described as extremely hot.

    After all, the dishes in the restaurant are delicious.

    This is the result of word-of-mouth fermentation.

    So countless people hold banquets, no longer do it themselves, but come to restaurants.  Because holding a banquet in a restaurant is more upscale and more dignified.

    After Du Qi entered the restaurant, he briefly inspected it.  In the entire restaurant, all the staff performed their duties and were busy with their own affairs, while Jin Wuque was in charge of controlling the overall situation.

    When Jin Wuque learned that Du Qi was coming, he ran over quickly. He came to Du Qi's side and asked, "My lord, what are you doing at the restaurant today?"

    Du Qi asked: "Lao Jin, where are the major booksellers concentrated in Chang'an City?"

    Jin Wuque replied without hesitation: "Young master, in Chang'an City, the main booksellers are concentrated in Dongshi and Xishi. On the Dongshi side, they mainly sell some classic books, such as "Spring and Autumn", "The Analects of Confucius", "Moral Ethics"  These books are generally more expensive. After all, every book is copied, which is not easy."

    After a pause, Jin Wuque continued: "There are also some booksellers who sell popular books, as well as some classic books. These people are mainly concentrated in the West Market. Among these popular books, there are many things about foolish men and women. Although these  Popular books are not up to the grade, and it is difficult to be elegant, but indeed, many people like to read them. Often a book will be sought after by countless people as soon as it is published, and it will become very popular in Chang'an City."

    After Du Qi heard it, he thought about it and said, "Do you understand these situations?"

    Jin Wuque said: "I have some understanding, not much!"

    Du Qi said: "My son's current plan is to buy a bookseller. Do you know any booksellers that are about to fail. After I buy it, I'm going to sell books."

    "ah!"

    After hearing this, Jin Wuque frowned.

    His head was shaking like a rattle, and he said in a hurry: "Young master, you can't do it, you can't do it. You are not familiar with the book business at all. If you rush into it rashly, you will definitely lose money in the end."

    Du Qidao: "How do you know that my son will definitely lose money?"

    Jin Wuque said: "Young master, the West City booksellers operate mainly because they have book writers under their names. These people write books, so they can sell them continuously and make a lot of money."

    "But the problem is that it is useless to buy a bookseller that is about to fail. In the words of scholars, it is tasteless, and it is a pity to discard it if it is tasteless."

    "My lord, please think again!"

    "Running a bookstore is not that easy, and there are quite a lot of problems. Whether it's tea or restaurants, there are special things that others don't have."

    Jin Wuque said seriously: "But this book is different."

    He disapproved of Du Qi's involvement in the book selling business, thinking it was a loss-making business.

    Du Qidao: "Just like tea and restaurants, my son runs a bookstore and has exclusive books. You don't have to worry about that. What I'm asking you now is, do you know such a person?" (Remember the website website: www.  hlnovel.com
