Chapter 266 Shen Wansan enters "It's the biographies of powerful people in the world."
Fearing that there would be an awkward moment between the host and the guest, Luo Ben of the Yangzhou government stepped forward and took over the conversation with a smile, "My teacher once said that ancient history books all talk about emperors and generals, but they can make emperors and generals sleep uneasily."
How can the pillow have no biography?
That’s why I wrote this biography of a wealthy man in the Jianghu, hoping that after reading this book, I, the son of the Han family, will be aroused and passionate, and I will no longer be willing to be bullied by the Mongols."
"Okay, how can a man who can make emperors and generals sleep uneasily have such a wonderful ambition without Mr.
Chuan?
This book will definitely be passed down through the ages."
After Zhu Chongjiu heard this, his mood that had just calmed down a little became agitated again.
In another time and space, Zhu Dapeng read Water Margin with pleasure and frustration, but he never thought that the purpose of this book was so lofty.
I think that since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, those who were oppressed by the government and evil gentry to the point of being unable to survive have had someone to emulate.
Since you don't give me justice, I will fight for justice myself like a Liangshan hero.
Even if we end up dead together Note 1 "I can't afford to be the general manager.
If someone in the future reads this book, it will be enough to know that Shi has never been willing to be a Tatar pig or dog."
It was the first time in his life that Shi Naian was praised endlessly, and Shi Naian blushed somewhat.
He smiled and responded calmly.
"That's natural.
How can someone who is willing to be a slave write such a hearty text?"
Zhu Bayi smiled and admired sincerely.
"My mentor, this book has written all the masculinity in the world."
Luo Ben also nodded with admiration on his face.
The three of us, you and I, hit it off immediately.
It was so embarrassing to leave Shen Fu, who had donated 100,000 shi of food, next to him.
Blushing and standing at a loss for a long time, he finally found an opportunity and interrupted loudly: "Mr.
Nai'an's masterpiece was also read by Shen.
I just came to watch the excitement that day, but I didn't realize that it was a call to heaven.
After the hero's proclamation for rebellion came back, he must have secretly found someone to engrave the board, printed tens of thousands of copies, and ordered it to be published all over the world.
There must be some people who read this book and understand Mr.
Nai'an's good intentions. " "No!"
Shi Naian immediately turned his head and shouted to stop him.
"Shi has already spent too much money on Brother Shen in the past six months.
I don't dare to let Brother Shen spend more money to help Shi become famous."
"How can it be considered a waste of money?
I don't have to worry about selling Mr.
Nai'an's books."
Shen Fu's purpose is to attract the attention of the three people to himself.
As for spending money to print tens of thousands of books, with his current net worth, it is indeed It is to pluck a hair to benefit the world.
Moreover, if this is done properly, it may not be a loss-making transaction.
For example, ask the manager Zhu in front of you to write a preface and write a poem about the same level as Qin Yuanchun as the opening chapter.
Not to mention tens of thousands of copies, even hundreds of thousands of copies, you may not worry about not being able to sell them.
As for the few people who buy books who can understand Shi Naian's original intention, that's not what he worries about.
In business, any business that can make money is a good business, and it doesn't matter whether it is a waste or not.
"Actually, it doesn't need to be so complicated."
Suddenly thinking of a good idea from another time and space, Zhu Bayi smiled and suggested loudly, "Our Huai'an Army used to have something called a newspaper.
I wonder if you two have seen it.
I plan to change it from one issue every ten days to one issue every five days.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If Mr.
Naian doesn't mind, you might as well do it.
Submit the manuscript to the newspaper and let them serialize it regularly.
Just like Pinghua in the teahouse, only a short paragraph will be published in each issue, and Mr.
Nai'an will have time to revise the manuscript.
The newspaper is widely circulated and can be seen almost everywhere along the canal, and it will not let the pearl of Mr.'
s good writing become dust."
"This" Shi Naian muttered in a low voice.
Now that he is nearly sixty years old, it is indeed in line with his heart's desire to find a place to settle down and reorganize his life's writings to pass them on to future generations.
However, whether Huaiyang can be retained or not is an unknown matter.
So I really don’t have the courage to make a decision right away.
"Sir, are you worried about the money for polishing your pen?
You can ask your disciple Qingyuan whether the polishing pen given by my Huai'an newspaper officer is enough to buy me a drink."
Influenced by Zhu Dapeng's soul, Zhu Bayi easily misunderstood Schneider.
What An meant was revealed to the other party with a smile.
"If, if the manuscript is accepted by the newspaper, each article will be worth at least two dollars for retouching," Robben blushed and explained in a very low voice.
Then, he quickly glanced at Zhu Bayi secretly, and added with a smile, "I don't dare to hide anything from the chief manager, my master is a worldly expert, and he always likes to travel around.
He came to Yangzhou this time just to take a look at me How long this unsatisfactory disciple will stay in Yangzhou and when he will leave have not yet been determined."
"Oh, that's it, Zhu is being abrupt."
Zhu Bayi immediately knew that he had acted too hastily, and shook his head with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
Mr.
Naian can stay in Yangzhou for a few more days and let the disciple accompany him around.
It's early spring now, which is the most beautiful time of the year.
Okay, everyone, don't stand around.
Now that we have spoken, please sit down and drink a cup of tea."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to move the guest to the stone table next to him.
Shi Naian and Shen Fu were not too polite when they saw that he was such a courteous and virtuous corporal.
He bowed his hands and said thank you, and sat down on the stone stools next to the table.
After a while, the guard served tea.
But it is not some expensive and luxurious dragon dumplings or phoenix dumplings, but made from local new leaves and roughly fried.
There is a delicate green color in the tea soup, and the natural fragrance of the tea leaves is completely washed out by the boiling water.
Shi Naian, who has been troubled for most of his life, couldn't help but frown quietly when he saw Zhu Bayi serving guests with new tea.
I muttered to myself, "Is Mr.
Zhu deliberately pretending to show me, or is he so simple that he doesn't even want to use a decent tea ball, and just grabs a handful of leaves to fool people?"
The wealthy businessman Shen Fu had far more knowledge than ordinary people.
He first picked up the tea bowl and took a deep sip of water vapor, then raised his eyebrows suddenly and said in surprise: "I'm afraid this is the chief steward's original creation.
It retains the purity of the tea flavor, but removes the bitterness of the new leaves.
It's just that Just smelling it makes you feel relaxed and happy.”
As he spoke, he took a small sip, and then took a big sip.
He closed his eyes and savored it in his mouth for a moment, swallowed the tea, put down the teacup, and patted the table gently with his right hand, "Good tea, good tea, it stimulates body fluids and quenches thirst.
If you are tired of studying and have a cup like this, I'm afraid it will be better than drinking a cup of tea."
A big bowl of mellow wine is more comfortable” "Yeah."
After hearing Shen Fu's exaggerated words, Shi Naian lowered his head and tasted it carefully.
Sure enough, compared to the strong-smelling dragon dumplings, it was a little less vulgar and a little more refreshing.

It gives people a vague feeling of being out of the world, and the fatigue on the body is swept away.
"What kind of tea is this?
It seems that Shi has never drunk it before."
He was a laissez-faire person.
He tasted the taste in his mouth and immediately wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"It's just new tea leaves produced locally in Yangzhou.
Find a casserole and fry them dry."
Zhu Ba11 smiled and explained in a low voice.
When he was a pig butcher, he had no money to buy tea, so he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad.
But after the two souls merged, he was influenced by Zhu Dapeng and could not appreciate the strong taste of the additives in Tuancha.
Therefore, I simply asked the guards to pick the new leaves, fry them casually, and then dry them and drink them.
Unexpectedly, by accident, green tea was created that was generally accepted by people in later generations.
Note 2 For him, who has hundreds of years of memories from later generations, tea frying is a very simple process and not worth mentioning.
However, when Shi Naian and Shen Fu heard it, they felt something different in their hearts.
Being wealthy but not losing one's true nature is the look of someone who achieves great things.
Compared with Zhu Fozi, Xu Shouhui, Bu Wangsan, Huama Wang and others are really like pigs and dogs.
Even tea leaves can create new tricks that others have never seen before.
Fortunately, Butcher Zhu didn't go into business.
Otherwise, wouldn't all the money in the world be made by him alone?
This person is so powerful that the Shen family must have connections with him no matter what.
"Compared to the common tea tea on the market, this drink is much more refreshing."
Robben also took a sip of tea and lost no time in interjecting.
"Right now, the company has organized victims to go to the mountains to pick new leaves.
It is estimated that this new tea will be available for sale in various places along the river before long.
If it can spread, the people will have another way to survive, Huaiyang Company, There is also another kind of input.”
"The color is smooth, the fragrance is elegant, and the taste is complete."
Shen Fu spent a hundred thousand shi to force himself to get a bowl of tea to drink, so he refused to miss any opportunity.
After thinking for a while, he said confidently, "It is difficult for such a magical thing not to spread.
If Luo Zhifu is willing to hand over this thing to the Shen family, within three years, Shen will guarantee that your Yangzhou new tea will be famous all over the world."
"This" Luo Ben glanced at Zhu Ba11 and shook his head, "To be honest, although Huaiyang Company is located in Yangzhou, the government has no right to interfere with its daily operations."
"Yeah" Shen Fu was immediately taken aback, frowning with disbelief on his face.
Before coming, he had inquired in many ways.
More than 70% of the Huaiyang firm's share capital was controlled by Zhu Tutu, the Huaiyang government and the Huaiyang army.
That's why I wanted to do a favor and help the company introduce new tea to various places in the south of the Yangtze River.
Unexpectedly, the other party vowed that the government would not interfere with the operation of the business.
Isn't this lying with your eyes open?
This Luo Ben Luo Qingyuan is so good at fooling people.
"The government only sets rules for each business, and it does not interfere with the daily operations of the business."
The person present, Zhu Bayi, who was influenced by later generations, is the one who best understands Shen Fu's thinking at this moment.
Seeing a strong look of suspicion in his eyes, he immediately took over the conversation and explained with a smile, "Even Huaiyang Company is no exception.
Otherwise, it will become a collusion between the government and businessmen, and other businesses will have no way to survive, and there will be trouble in the future. endless" "Then, wouldn't it be true that artillery and other magical weapons would all fall into the hands of the enemy?"
It would have been better if he didn't explain.
Once he explained, not only was Shen Fu confused, but even Shi Naian couldn't believe his ears.
After a pause, the questioning words blurted out.
"Of course not."

Zhu Bayi put down the tea cup and added very patiently, "Huaiyang Company is responsible for making cannons, weapons and armor, and pricing them as appropriate.
But it is up to the government to decide who can and cannot be sold to.
Forget it.
Each port has dedicated personnel responsible for inspections.
If a merchant is found to have deliberately violated the rules, he will be punished immediately.
Any fines or beheadings that should be punished will not be condoned.
The same applies to war-related materials. " This rule had been explained to Lu Luzeng and others many times when he decided to establish the Huaiyang company.
So repeat it and become familiar with it.
After Shi Naian and Shen Fu heard this, the confusion in their eyes was somewhat relieved.
But deep inside, there were countless thunders exploding continuously.
"Obviously it is a government agency, but the government is not allowed to interfere with the daily operations of the business.
Merchants are responsible for their own profits and losses, and the government only sets the rules and forces the merchants to abide by them, and treats everyone equally.
This is the practice of every dynasty and generation.
Can any dynasty or generation have such a precedent and really follow this?
Keep executing it, that merchant" For merchants, this is simply the biggest change in ancient and modern times.
After all, he is one of the largest merchants in the world.
Soon, Shen Fu discovered the benefits of the new rules.
In the excitement, the teacup in his hand could no longer be held steady, and the green tea sloshed all over his body.
"General Manager, the General Manager is really a strange person."
He didn't bother to wipe the water stains on his body.
He stood up suddenly and bowed deeply to Zhu Bayi, "Please accept Shen's worship.
Looking at Huaiyang's method, Promote it to the world as soon as possible” This flattery is quite good at filming.
Huaiyang's method is promoted all over the world, doesn't it mean that Zhu Chongjiu wants to unify the country?
Shi Naian's thoughts were immediately interrupted by the shameless behavior of his companions, and his old face turned red.
But Shen Fu didn't feel that there was anything to be ashamed of in doing so.
Without waiting for Zhu Bayi to stand up and help him, he quickly took a step back and bowed to the ground again, "The common people heard that the general manager exchanged cannons for rice just to cure the hunger of the 600,000 people in Yangzhou, and they were very impressed.
Therefore, The common people are willing to transport another 200,000 shi of grain to Yangzhou within three months, and donate it all to the General Manager's Office to relieve the urgent needs of the people of Yangzhou."
"Yeah" Zhu Bayi was horrified.
If the one hundred thousand stone old rice before had only made him interested in Shen Fu, at this moment, he had to look at this person with admiration.
Three hundred thousand stone rice, even according to the autumn price in the Jiangnan production area, is at least 90,000 copper coins.
Just because he liked a few of his new policies, he spent 90,000 yuan without hesitation.
How generous and skillful is this Shen Fu?
Ninety thousand copper coins, with a total weight of more than 570,000 kilograms.
If it were to be loaded by ship, the largest grain ships on the canal would have to be lined up in a long line of four or five.
After paying such a high price, Zhu Bayi couldn't believe that the other party wanted nothing more.
After staring into Shen Fu's eyes for a long time, he finally made up his mind and responded very cautiously, "Brother Shen's great kindness will be unforgettable by the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou.
It's just that Zhu didn't dare to take Brother Shen's rice in vain.
If Shen Brother, if you want to exchange something from Zhu, you can tell me directly as long as it doesn’t violate Huaiyang’s rules, and Zhu will be fully satisfied.”
"In this way, Shen will not have to make many detours."
Shen Fu straightened up immediately and loudly shouted, "Shen heard that a group of thieves tried to bring trouble to Yangzhou a few months ago.
After the incident was exposed, they fled by boat.
And the navy under the general manager Catch up, on the Yangtze River The enemy ship was smashed to pieces from a distance of several miles.
Shen wanted to ask if the cannon used by the navy was the legendary artillery.
I wonder if the chief executive could make the decision.
Qualified to sell one or two doors from the store."

Note 1: From a modern perspective, the people in Water Margin killed people and set fires, even the elderly and children were not spared.
It was indeed very cruel and bloody.
But according to the moral standards of the time, it was perfectly normal behavior.
In addition, advocating rebellion in an era of barbaric foreign rule is much nobler than praising the rulers.
Therefore, judging from the historical background at that time, Water Margin is indeed a first-class book.
Shi Gongnaian is also a chivalrous man.
Note 2: The documented origin of green tea began in the early Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang believed that making dragon balls would waste people and money, so he ordered that the tea leaves sent to the palace in the future be picked directly and dried.
Then green tea became popular all over the world and gradually developed various production techniques
