Chapter 253: The Daily Worries of the Eagle Lords

In the era of lack of entertainment, spiritual entertainment products obviously have a huge market.

"The Battle of Grey Wind Town" is a political drama, not for profit, Zhang Xun's idea is to make money through publishing, because in this world, the printing technology is not very good, so he can not worry too much about piracy.

The idea was inspired by the last time I thought about pleasing the Queen.

The two short stories provided by Zhang Xun were actually found from the Internet, one is a very old foreign translation from thousands of years ago, and the other is an online romance with a Western background.

In addition to the girls, he also sent two other ones to the Young Pioneers in the laboratory, which were also translations from ancient times and ...... Fantasy.

It's okay to pull a little, the main thing is to test the taste.

Zhang Xun has not much choice, because the two worlds are different, so he can only choose pure overhead.

The system comes with a translation, which can be said to be translated into the words of the blue star, but at the same time, the quality of this translation can only be clear and fluent, if you want it to translate what literary beauty comes out, it is too strong and difficult for the system.

Therefore, because of the objective reasons of translation, Zhang Xun can only choose stories that have low requirements for literature and win purely by stories.

Thinking about it this way, isn't it my old job......

After some market research, Zhang Xun probably figured out the taste of the Yingyang people, the aesthetics of the people are still relatively formal, in different countries and periods, under different scopes, people's aesthetics are also different, so the choice of stories can not be too entertaining, such as the system of texts, no matter how to change the face, the people of Yingyang can not accept it.

What they can accept is probably the style similar to the starting point of the online article for a few years.

"What already has needs to be processed and can't be copied. Zhang Xun pondered, simply wrote his own requirements into a post, posted it on the author's forum, and then privately made an appointment, the price was extremely high, this part can only be checked by himself, fortunately, the peers are fast, make a routine template, and then set it according to the requirements, control the style, but the quality requirements are relatively high, but the number of deliveries is relatively loose, Zhang Xun pondered according to the previous kind of small single volume publishing, a volume of tens of thousands of words of publishing mode to do, first manuscript, not afraid of more, when the time comes, print more, can be popular even if it is profitable.

……

During the reception period, the steam engine also officially became famous.

"Your Majesty, the Count of Dolon, the Marquis of Sempu, the Viscount of Delisi, and others have jointly held a banquet and invited you to come. ”

When Zhang Xun came again, he saw LancΓ΄me handing over a fold in his hand.

"Well, when did they come here? I remember, these people are usually busy in their own territory, and they don't live in the royal capital often. Zhang Xun said in his mouth, and began to open the list, there were twenty or thirty organizers of the dinner, and after a cursory sweep, Luke's impression of these people automatically began to appear in his mind, among which there were large and small nobles, and the only common feature was that they all had their own hereditary fiefdoms, and they all had mineral intentions, and they belonged to the kind of lord-level nobles.

These people usually run their own nests, and rarely run to the royal capital, this time they quietly gathered to hold a banquet, since the king was invited, then it is obvious that they must have also invited the prominent nobles and high-ranking officials of the royal capital, what is this for?

"Interesting. Zhang Xun was thoughtful.

It's not a big problem to attend the dinner, and it's okay to let Luke go by himself, but Zhang Xun is bored, so he also has some interest in the dinner, but the dinner is agreed to be a few days later, and he still needs to calculate the timing of the next entry according to the proportion of the time flow rate estimated in the past.

"Okay, reply that I'll be there then, remember to remind me. After Zhang Xun finished speaking, the Chancellor of Finance came to visit.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has been doing a lot better recently, mainly because this year's year-end financial report is much better than before due to the open source of the industry, which also makes his poor character finally no longer have to desperately tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

Among all the important ministers in the entire Yingyang, even if the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the most hard, it is not easy.

Therefore, Zhang Xun is still very kind to him.

"Your Majesty, this is this year's general financial account, please take a look at it. The Chancellor of the Exchequer bent slightly and came with a book in his hand.

Zhang Xun couldn't help but smile and said, "Just send someone to deliver this kind of thing, why do you want to run it yourself?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer smiled bitterly, and then said with some emotion: "According to your new term, winter is coming, and according to the season, this is almost my year-end summary, and I always feel that I have come over more formally." ”

"Yes, it's almost winter, and I've been in power for a year. Zhang Xun also felt a little emotional.

"It's been a really fulfilling year, not a compliment, and I really think you'll lead the Eagle to prosperity. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said suddenly.

"Will you?"

"I think so, everything is going in a good direction, for example, this year's accounts are finally no deficit. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I always feel that your reason makes me feel so sad. Zhang Xun was a little speechless, then shook his head and chuckled, chatted a few words, and suddenly asked, "Do you know the banquet that those lords of Yingyang are going to hold recently?" ”

"I know, the minister is also invited, will you go, Your Majesty?"

"So many lords have been invited, how can you not go? I just don't know, what is it for this time, I don't usually come here, and I am quite curious when I suddenly get together. Zhang Xun said with a smile, half tentatively.

A smile suddenly appeared on the Chancellor's face, and he said with some schadenfreude: "I have some guesses. ”

"Oh, tell me?"

"The industries of several nobles in the east have shrunk to varying degrees because of the appearance of the Jenny machine, it is said that for this reason, the relationship between the royal family and the nobles in the east is now more acute, this matter has been slowly known by the five countries, if the east is a mirror, then many businessmen will probably realize that the emergence of a new machine will break some of the balance, in the east is the Jenny machine, in the eagle Yang, I am afraid that it is the steam engine. ”

Zhang Xun was stunned, the Chancellor's words were not subtle, he thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Could it be that our lords are afraid that their own industry will be threatened by steam engines?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had been sitting in this position for a long time, smiled and said, "Your Majesty thinks it will not?"

Zhang Xun pursed his lips and laughed, obviously, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had already seen through everything.

As a lifelong nobleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who does not have a large area of his own territory, is a bystander in terms of interests, and in the past, he was often deflated in front of the major nobles and lords because of fundraising.
