Lin Zhao's luck is better, he was born in a relatively wealthy place like Yuezhou, plus there is a garrison of the imperial court not far from Yuezhou, plus Lin Zhao has not been out much in the past ten years, so he has not seen any bandits for more than ten years.

But in fact, today's Great Zhou is not peaceful.

In the early years of the dynasty, the imperial court could still have enough power to control the place, but in the period of Emperor Ling, because the emperor was unconscious, the government once fell into the hands of eunuchs and traitors, coupled with the extravagance of his people, so that the national fortune of more than 100 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty was rapidly going downhill in his hands.

A monarch is dumb and incompetent, in fact, it doesn't matter, there is nothing to do wrong, the most terrible thing is that as the son of heaven, not only is he stupid and incompetent, but also ...... It's a long life!

Emperor Ling reigned for nearly forty years, and during the forty years, the country was in chaos, the people everywhere were boiling, there were many uprisings, and the country almost died in the hands of this absurd emperor.

It was not until after Jinshang ascended the throne that he made great efforts to save the declining national fortunes a little, but after more than ten years of diligent government, Jinshang has become increasingly sluggish, and in the past ten years, he has become obsessed with Kang's ......

It is precisely because of these reasons that there are a lot of bandits in various parts of the Great Zhou.

Some of these bandits went up the mountain and fell into the grass because they couldn't eat before, and some of them were the rebels who rebelled during the Lingdi period, and they couldn't resist the army of the imperial court, so they could only burrow into the mountains and fall into the grass.

The wolf village in the east mountain of Yuezhou, is the refugee who fell on the mountain and the grass during the Lingdi period, now this village has been passed down for three generations, the contemporary owner of the village is surnamed Xu, what is the real name few people know, outsiders generally call him Xu Boss, his person is good at using a spear, and good bow and crossbow, very powerful.

At this time, there was a tall man dressed in black standing in front of Boss Xu, this man was quietly opposite Boss Xu, there was no trace of fear on his face, but a slight trace of disdain.

"Brother Xu, the time is set for the evening after three days, when the west gate of Yuezhou will be opened for you, and all the things you snatch from the city will belong to your Tianwolf Village, and my family master will have only one request."

The man in black was expressionless: "I want you to go into Xingwenfang and kill Lin Jian and Lin Yuanda, who lives in Xingwenfang, do you understand?" ”

This plan was personally set by Kang Dongping, who was far away in Shuofang, according to the meaning of this General Kang.

Since you can't solve the trouble that Lin Jian may bring, let's find a way to solve Lin Jian!

Anyway, in this world, it is not uncommon for bandits to attack the county seat and attack the state city, after the matter is over, as long as all the sins are put on the head of the bandits, as long as the beginning and the end are clean, and then send troops to level the wolf village afterwards, no one can plant this matter on him General Kang.

Compared with the civil officials in the court, the methods of a military general like Kang Dongping are obviously more direct and violent.

This Heavenly Wolf Village owner is only thirty years old this year, and after hearing these words, he frowned slightly and looked at the stranger in front of him.

"It's a great sin to attack Yuezhou, we have done this, how can the court not pursue it?"

"Afraid of what?"

This black-clothed man said in a deep voice: "For more than 30 years, why has the imperial court wanted to exterminate your Heavenly Wolf Village once? Aren't you still alive? ”

"The east mountain is steep, and the idle officers and soldiers can't come up."

The man in black smiled and whispered to Boss Xu: "After the matter is completed, if this Dongbai Mountain is in danger, a certain person can find an errand for Boss Xu as a captain in the border army. ”

Boss Xu knew that the person in front of him was from the imperial court, but he didn't know which one of the troops it was, he took a deep breath and said: "This matter is too big, I can't make a decision for a while, dare to ask Brother Tai, which army is in the Great Zhou?" ”

Hearing this, a cold light appeared in the eyes of the man in black, but he quickly covered up the past, and a smile appeared on his face: "Originally, this is a big taboo, and I shouldn't tell Brother Xu anyway, but if I don't say it, Brother Xu shouldn't be at ease." ”

"I'll wait...... It is under the command of Fan Yang Jiedu, the lord of my family ruled Kyushu, commanding 100,000 troops, and even the imperial court ......"

At this point, the man in black didn't go any further.

Boss Xu frowned and pondered, and remembered the threatening words that this person said when he saw him for the first time, and he was silent for a long time before he hissed: "It's a big matter, we can do things for you, but if the imperial court sends a large army to suppress it, my brothers in the village must have a place to go." ”

Hearing that he was relieved, the man in black also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, don't worry, there is a shortage of capable people like Brother Xu under the command of my lord, and you and I will work with the master in the future, and we will have to rely on Brother Xu to take care of it." ”

………………

On Dongbai Mountain, a big conspiracy is brewing, but Yuezhou City is not aware of this, at this time Yuezhou City has been cloudy for several days, thick dark clouds are piled up in the sky over Yuezhou, and there will be thunderstorms from time to time.

Oddly enough, no rain has fallen.

At this time, Lin Zhao was still in the Sanyuan bookstore, arranging his "business map" in Yuezhou.

It is said that it is a commercial territory, but in fact, it is about the paper workshop, as well as the story collection, and the three industries of lead movable type.

According to Lin Zhao's concept, in the future, the story collection will be separated from the Sanyuan bookstore and become an existence similar to a magazine, so that it will become bigger in the future, and the printing technology will come up, and it is possible to transform from a magazine to a newspaper and other media.

Of course, this kind of process still needs to be a long time, and it is not something that can be rushed in a day or two.

As for the papermaking workshop, it is a business to make quick money, and there is no long-term strategy, Lin Zhao probably told Xie Sanyuan when to buy and when to sell, as long as the papermaking industry is the hottest next year, just get rid of the shop in your hand.

In addition to these two, the most important thing is the lead type, as long as the lead type can be made, you can sell the type to other printing workshops, even if Lin Zhaoyuan is in Chang'an City, only this one business can provide him with a steady stream of wealth, at least let him be in Chang'an City, not to become poor.

It was the afternoon at this time, the story collection in the bookstore had been sold out, although there were still customers in the bookstore, but there were very few, Lin Zhao moved a stool, sat opposite Xie Sanyuan, and discussed with him in detail the "corporate strategy" for the next period of time.

To put it simply, it is centered on lead movable type and developed storytelling.

Speaking of this, Lin Zhao opened his mouth and said: "As for the story collection, we can already start soliciting manuscripts from outside, but since we have started soliciting manuscripts, we have to hire a reader to screen the merits of these manuscripts......"

"This profession, I call it an editor."

Lin Sanlang's face was serious, and he said: "This is a profession with great powers, Uncle Xie, you don't know, in an inexplicable place, there is such a group of editors, all of whom have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth......"

Xie Sanyuan sat opposite Lin Zhao and was stunned when he heard it.

While the two were talking, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Daddy, Daddy."

Xie Ran came to the door of the bookstore with two oil-paper umbrellas in her hands, she looked at her father and Lin Zhao in the bookstore, and smiled sweetly.

"A-Niang said that it is going to rain, let me bring you an umbrella to avoid getting cold."

As soon as she finished speaking, another thunderclap exploded in the dense dark clouds in the sky.

Lin Zhao frowned and looked at the heavy sky outside the door.

……

It's going to rain.
