Chapter 61
The cold comes and the summer goes by, the four seasons change, and five years pass in a flash.
Deng Yuanshan has returned to his home only a handful of times in recent years, and most of his time has been spent in Guizhou.
The Deng family is one of the most famous families in the south, and has lived a rich and developed life by land and shops for generations, and each Deng family has a brain used to make money, and does not participate in officialdom, but has always taken a clear and firm position, and is very determined to take the road of official business, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and the benefits obtained by themselves account for a small head, and the court accounts for the majority of the head, so no matter where the businessmen are, they rise and fall, but the Deng family has been moving forward steadily.
They are obedient enough, and the imperial court can get enough oil and water from them, so naturally this cornucopia will not be thrown away.
Recognizing this truth, there is no reason why they should not thrive.
Deng Yuanshan is the concubine of the side branch of the Deng family, because he was smart and clever since he was a child, he was favored by the master of the family and stayed by his side to teach. It is better to say that it is to teach, but it is better to say that it is used for fun, the old man has been shrewd all his life, and he also understands the issue of concubines.
Therefore, even if Deng Yuanshan is smarter than those brothers in his own family, he knows how to hide clumsily and does not fight or rob, which makes the old lady look down on him.
Being able to leave Mizhou and go out is also a special grace of the old lady. Even though Deng Yuanshan knew that his low status in the Deng family was partly due to the deliberate suppression of the old lady, he was grateful for the fact that the old man let him leave the family, rather than being pressed by the useless eldest brother for a lifetime.
The last grain incident was told by him to the old lady, and the old lady actually listened to him, and the reward was that the Deng family finally succeeded in suppressing the gentry from all sides in Mizhou and became the largest household. And Deng Yuanshan was also thanked by the people of Guizhou because of the wide distribution of money and grain to help the victims. The people are pure and good, and they will remember the good of a person, and they will not care about what the person is doing to help them. Ordinary people who don't know a single word sometimes know how to report grace better than the Confucian, who is full of poetry and books.
Deng Yuanshan's books were spread all over Guizhou, and he quietly acquired a few money houses, and the money became a number on the books, and Deng Yuanshan himself didn't know much money now.
And the Xiangqing class under his name is also making money every day, and the latest rehearsal of "Three Kingdoms" in it is full and full.
picked a sunny day, Deng Yuanshan also went out, ready to go to see the show.
As the publisher of "Wenqing Daily", Deng Yuanshan mastered the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms first-hand. He wasn't particularly fond of reading novels, and since the book was very long, he didn't read it. But he would read the newspaper, look at it, and he was also fascinated by the book, and it took him several all-nighters to read the original book, almost forgetting to sleep and eat.
It was also from that moment that he was convinced of the series of plans that Mu Qing had left behind before leaving.
The two turning points in his life, one was valued by the old lady, and the other was to open the door to a half-grown son named Mu Qing.
Since Deng Yuanshan met Mu Qing, they have only been together for half a year, but what this young man has done is enough to change his life. Mu Qing used one sentence to make the Deng family gain fame and fortune, and Deng Yuanshan spent five years to practice Mu Qing's idea of just a few words.
If Mu Qing was a businessman, he would definitely make more money than everyone else in the world.
But if he wants to be a literati and an official, Deng Yuanshan feels that the shock he will bring will be much stronger than that of Wenqing Daily.
The popularity of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has surpassed any book he has published before, and some people like it, because the stories and characters in it are like living, and some people hate it, but because this book is far from the real Three Kingdoms.
But these did not prevent the popularity of the Three Kingdoms, and also made the "Wenqing Daily" spread all over the country.
The low price of a penny doubles the sales of the newspaper every day, bringing in a huge readership. Not only Guizhou, but also this Jiangnan has spread all over the Wenqing Daily, and the business of the post station has also been improved.
Having readers means having resources, and that's something that has been used throughout the ages.
Shops in Guizhou scooped up money to publish information, which was called "advertising" in Mu Qing's words, and later, there were too many people, so Deng Yuanshan asked them to bid on their own, and the one with the highest price won. The income from advertising fees alone is enough for Deng Yuanshan's bookstore for fifty years of profits, and it is really an empty glove white wolf business.
It is not that there are newspapers that follow the trend, but their reputation is not obvious, and under the suppression of "Wenqing Daily", there is no market, and it is not a climate.
As the mainstay of newspaper sales,
Just a few days ago, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was dragged by Deng Yuanshan, and only released a few hundred words a day for the sake of sales, finally came to an end, and the Three Kingdoms were unified, and from that day on, Deng Yuanshan listed a notice to collect manuscripts from the subordinates, select the best, and publish them in the newspaper.
And as a result, Deng Yuanshan was dumbfounded.
In just three days, an overwhelming number of manuscripts flocked from all over the world, many of them were famous Confucian scholars, and most of them turned out to be quoted from the scriptures and scolded the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for not knowing what to call it.
Deng Yuanshan had no way this time, he recruited a lot of readers to help him publish the newspaper, but the current matter is obviously not something that these people can scoop up.
The first reaction was to drag Mu Qing out and let him clean up the mess, but that person seemed to have evaporated from the world for five years, and there was no news. Deng Yuanshan can't, it's worth sifting through the articles by himself, but the more he chooses, the more he feels clueless.
Celebrities can't be offended, officials can't be offended, those who scold can't be listed, and those who praise people don't dare to board, it's really sad to die.
After tossing for several days, Deng Yuanshan was really a head or two, so he closed the library early today and went out for a walk.
Although Deng Yuanshan is now a local tyrant with a lot of money, he is still dressed in cyan clothes, more like a scholar than a businessman, and his elegant appearance with a modest smile is easy to make people feel good. Because of the good name he has accumulated, most of the people in Guizhou City like him as a person, and it is inevitable to say hello when they meet.
Deng Yuanshan never thought about being a good person or getting a good name, but just like now, earning other people's money, and having people feel your kindness and good thoughts, it is indeed much better than being scolded as a "profiteer" before.
All the way is a spring breeze and smooth, Deng Yuanshan's troubled heart has been washed by the enthusiastic people, and he feels a lot better.
It's a numb statement, but who hasn't been moved? Deng Yuanshan felt that he was really a good person.
==================================================================================
went to the Qian family wine shop for a walk, and after lunch, Deng Yuanshan prepared to go to the play.
When he walked to the Xiangqing class, the doorman who greeted him at the door recognized Deng Yuanshan at a glance, and hurriedly greeted the big boss to the private room on the second floor with a smile on his face.
Due to its growing fame, the Xiangqing class has also been expanded several times, and now it has taken down the land on both sides of the street and opened it into one. Deng Yuanshan sat in the best seat, and there were top-notch dragon wells before the rain on the table, as well as pastries made by the top dim sum chefs in Guizhou Mansion. These are not the privileges of Deng Yuanshan, in fact, every private room has these things to serve, so that the consumption of three taels of silver a night is worth it.
In terms of making money, as long as there are interests, Deng Yuanshan can be self-taught.
It was still early, and the play at the bottom had not yet started, so Deng Yuanshan leisurely took a sip of the teacup. I got up and walked to the window and looked down, and I felt relaxed.
What made him excited was not the beautiful spring scenery, but the overlook of Guizhou Mansion, and he could see that many shops were hung in front of the banner of his Deng Family Library, and for Deng Yuanshan, nothing could compare to the sense of accomplishment when his eyes were full of money-making shops.
Picking up the teacup and taking another sip, Deng Yuanshan's thoughts drifted a little away.
At this moment, he glanced at the far side of the street in a blink of an eye, and a young man in a green shirt walked slowly, and what caught Deng Yuanshan's eye was a piece of jade around his waist.
Blood-red, full of warm colors, you can see that it is extraordinary at first glance.
Deng Yuanshan followed the jade to see people, and saw that the young man with the jade was dressed in an ordinary cyan Confucian shirt, but he did not have a square scarf on his head, but his hair was neatly tied. The body is long, the clothes are clean, and there is naturally a self-satisfied fairy when walking. Behind him was a young man in a green shirt and a small coat, slightly shorter than the young man with jade, carrying a bookcase on his back, talking to the young man. Then the young man nodded, and the young man with the bookcase on his back ran to the steamed bun stall on the side, bought two large buns and wrapped them in oiled paper, and when he came back, one handed the young man and the other held and nibbled on his own.
When the young man ran, he tilted his head slightly to let Deng Yuanshan see his appearance. Glamorous as a peach blossom, if the lips are greased, it is clear that he is a man but has a more delicate appearance than a woman, which is strange.
The young man took it, scooped the bun in his hand and did not eat it, but looked left and right, strolling leisurely.
Deng Yuanshan searched in his mind for the young man he knew in Guizhou City, but he didn't find any information about this person. Thinking that they came from the extroverts, Deng Yuanshan thought, the township examination is about to be restored, and it seems that they are students who came to prepare for the imperial examination in advance.
And at this moment, the young man suddenly raised his head, stared at the plaque of the Xiangqing class for a while, and then met his eyes with Deng Yuanshan, who was watching him at the window of the private room.
The young man has a handsome appearance, his face is as white as jade, and the most eye-catching thing is a pair of eyes, dark and narrow, which seem to have ingested starlight and look good at a glance. The lips were slightly raised, which was the friendly appearance of smiling before speaking, and when he looked at Deng Yuanshan, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and he actually opened a few bright smiles.
The sun is shining, and this smile is as warm as daylight.
Deng Yuanshan didn't have any effect on the young man's appearance, but this smile was very familiar.
With a little eagerness, a little warmth, a little cunning, and mixed with the shyness and innocence unique to young people.
Deng Yuan's hand let go, and the teacup fell to the ground.
I think at the beginning, Mu Qing didn't look like this every time he saw the silver!
