Since ancient times, there have been many talented men in Jiangnan, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties. According to statistics on the list of Jinshi in Ming and Qing dynasties, from the first exam in the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1371) to the last exam in the 30th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1904), a total of 201 palace examinations were held, plus the Boxue Hongci, and the translation subject was not recorded. The Manchu Jinshi was admitted, with a total of 51,681 Jinshi, including 24,866 in the Ming Dynasty, 26,815 in the Qing Dynasty, and 7,877 Jinshi were admitted in Jiangnan, accounting for 15.24℅, of which 3,864 in the Ming Dynasty, accounting for 15.54℅ in the country, and 4,013 in the Qing Dynasty, accounting for 14.95℅ in the country. Overall, more than one out of every 7 Jinshi in the Ming and Qing dynasties came from Jiangnan. Such a high proportion is really amazing.

From the perspective of modern people, the main conditions for Jiangnan's cultural leadership are closely related to its economic development. Each person in the northwest region still has to starve for dozens of acres of land, but in the water town, a few acres of land in the whole family are enough to support a scholar. Under such conditions, the cultural atmosphere is naturally cultivated.

When scholars have money, in addition to looking for Yan Ruyu and buying a golden house, they will have to buy some books. Even if they are pretending, they will unconsciously leave many precious engraved books in Jiangnan. In addition, Liangjiang has a large wealth and noble family members, which can be said to be collecting the world. With the deliberate efforts of countless people, Jiangnan's collection has gradually become a fruitful thing until Xianfeng was cut off, and the dissipation of books has gradually become a pain for many book collectors.

Zhou Shuming also looks like a scholar, but he doesn't know if he has caught up with the Mo Ke and has gained fame. When he heard Huang Xuan's trouble was to buy books, he laughed and shook his hands and said, "What's the difficulty? My Jiaxing may not be outstanding, but if you want to tell a book, you will take the initiative."

"But I'm not familiar with the place..."

"Just wrap it with me." Zhou Shuming said with great care: "I'm Jiaxing..."

Without waiting for him to brag, Huang Xuan couldn't help but interrupt and said seriously: "My father already has a lot of treasures. This time he came to buy some rare rare books. If there is a lonely one, it is better." All books must be carefully added to the school as rare books. Generally speaking, both rare books and rare books are ancient books, so the rare books in the Qing Dynasty are not necessarily rare books in the Ming Dynasty. In modern times, the rare books in 1927 naturally include the printed versions of the Qing Dynasty. However, if the weight of Lorraine's pervert is limited, his vision will have to be different.

Zhou Shuming stroked his beard, smiled and said, "But I don't know what Mr. Huang likes?" From ancient times to the present, there are few book collectors who have continued for three generations. With the turmoil of Chinese politics, more and more ancient books in Jiaxing have been in the market. It's just that the warlords fight and the government has no time to buy them, so compared to the previous and subsequent eras, there are more ancient books that can be bought at this time.

Huang Xuan shook his head gently, pointed to the location of the warehouse and said, "I came here to carry more than 1,500 stones of grain and sold more than 200 stones of rice shop with Xiqiao. If Boss Zhou has the ability, he will take all the rest. I will only have 10 books below."

The horns on the dock were clamoring, but Zhou Shuming was stunned as if he was struck by lightning. 1,500 stone of grain costs more than 20,000 yuan. In other words, the young man in front of him was willing to buy a book with 2,000 oceans. What is a big deal? That's it. Boss Zhou smacked his lips and said loudly: "Young Master Huang, wait for me for a few days, and I will definitely be able to accept the grain from this warehouse."

"That's the best." Huang Xuan also laughed loudly, "But I will stay for 5 days at most, so don't be late, Boss Zhou."

"One word is determined."

"One word is determined."

Just as Huang Xuan was struggling to protect human cultural heritage, Manager Zhu was about to break his leg. The capital of Xiqiao Rice Shop was insufficient. After reporting to his boss, he and the Zhu family housekeeper raised 1,000 yuan from the warehouse and quietly contacted the good shops, wanting to join forces to buy all the grains in Huang Xuan. He could see clearly that those were all good seed grains, and the price was more than 12 yuan. From what he said, it seemed that there were more on the way. Even the boss who was not very in charge had tried his best to make a big profit.

However, in the afternoon, news that a large number of grain arrived was hustle and the entire rice market in Jiaxing Prefecture was shocked. Manager Zhu wanted to find out who had spread the news at first, but naturally found nothing, so he became even hurried. Before the agreed time came, he rushed to the dock with silver and money.

After ordering Jiang Yisheng, the number was correct. Huang Xuan ordered his friend to put the box full of silver dollars in the room, then transferred it to the entrance of the plane passage, and then went out and said to Manager Zhu: "In this way, the grain in this warehouse will be returned to the Xiqiao Rice Shop."

"Okay, okay." Manager Zhu rubbed his hands excitedly, watching his subordinates take stock of the grain warehouse again, and was blown by the cold wind. He was so excited that he had just left. He ran to Huang Xuan without hesitation, and said with a waist: "Boss Huang, I heard that you still have a batch of grain to transport it?"

He didn't hear it, he clearly guessed it. Huang Xuan curled his mouth disdainfully. The remaining grain was still in the plane passage. Where did he hear it? But at this moment he still smiled and said, "There are more than a thousand stones, but there is a Zhou Shuming, and Boss Zhou said he wanted it all, and I'm going to agree to him."

"That old guy." Manager Zhu bared his teeth and said, "Boss Huang, you see that we have a happy transaction. My account is sincere. I wonder if I can leave this business to my account?"

"Not that's not possible." Huang Xuan said to Zhou Shuming again, ignored the stunned shopkeeper Zhu, and said, "In this way, I'll wait for the good news in the inn in the town."

Since ancient times, merchants value profit and gentlemen who were designated as Chinese national capitalists by textbooks cannot escape the customs. Zhu Hongren, the owner of Xiqiao Rice Shop, received the news from the shopkeeper, and once again took a crutch and circled around the small garden. As for the other rice shops that were originally one step behind the Zhu family, they were even slid around and inquired about the news.
