Aunt Xu couldn't help but look at Guo Dan again, only to feel that Guo Dan today was a little different from the past.

In the past, Guo Dan was more like a speculative businessman, mercenary, although he did a lot of unbelievable things, but the essence was no different from other businessmen.

But today's Guo Dan does not act like a businessman, but more like a conspirator, as if everything is under his control.

"And what are you going to do next?" Aunt Xu asked tentatively.

Guo Dan didn't answer and asked, "I don't know what the laymen think they will do next?" ”

Aunt Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Although you have succeeded today, one of the reasons is that the other party is negligent in guarding against it, and your remarks are not invulnerable, Confucianism is all-encompassing, it is not as simple as you say, including your so-called means, I expect them to use this to fight back against you." ”

Speaking of this, she paused slightly, "However, they control public opinion, and it is not difficult to turn this matter around." ”

Guo nodded with a smile and said, "I think the same thing as the layman, but it doesn't mean that I'm as smart as the layman, but it's just one trick for them to go back and forth." ”

Right!

That's it!

But the problem is that it's hard to crack.

Aunt Xu was curious: "Do you have a way to crack it?" ”

Guo Dan smiled profoundly: "After dinner, I'll take the layman to a place." ”

Aunt Xu groaned slightly, and just nodded her head slightly, but she was confused in her heart.

However, her confusion stems only from the fact that her understanding of businessmen is very shallow, and she thinks that businessmen's thinking still has great limitations.

However, real capitalists also have strategic thinking.

Even more long-term than some politicians.

Guo Dan didn't fight before, it was just because it was unprofitable, and it would only cause a lot of trouble, just make money with peace of mind, and they could say whatever they liked.

In a word, it's shameless to ask for money.

The same is true for Wanli.

But now that the overseas plan is already in preparation, he can no longer fight alone at home, he needs to put up a big banner, recruit troops, he needs to get the support of internal forces, or in other words, he needs someone to support Wanli in the DPRK to work hard.

Avoid him fighting on two sides alone.

If in the current situation, he goes to carry out overseas plans, the risk is very high, as long as he is hit at home, the overseas plans will be greatly impacted, the overseas plans are too huge, the investment is too large, and he cannot afford to lose.

And the whole overseas plan was already being planned before he took charge of the dental industry.

He has been stockpiling energy for this, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has accumulated a lot of energy.

After lunch and a short rest, Guo Dan took Aunt Xu to a workshop on the edge of the Zhou Wang's Mansion in the east of the city.

In ancient times, "Fang" was actually equivalent to a community, and many families lived in it.

Although Aunt Xu also saw a lot of people, these people did not look like ordinary people, many of them were wearing uniforms, and there were many tools on the street, which was more like a big workshop.

"Hello proprietor!"

"Hello proprietor!"

"Hello proprietor!"

.....．

When the people in the workshop saw Guo Dan, they all nodded and said hello.

"The proprietor?"

Aunt Xu looked at Guo Dan in surprise.

Guo Danfeng said lightly: "I almost forgot to tell you, I have already bought this workshop." ”

“......！”

Aunt Xu was immediately shocked.

She has heard a lot about buying a house and buying a house, but ...... the words of buying a house?

You're exaggerating a bit.

You can't be so capricious if you have money!

Aunt Xu looked around and said, "This looks like a printing workshop?" ”

"Not bad."

"All of them?"

Aunt Xu asked again.

Guo Dan nodded.

Aunt Xu was surprised: "This printing workshop doesn't need to be so big. ”

The five guns in Weihui Mansion and the capital are already very large, but compared to a fang, they are still a small thing.

Guo Dan did not answer, but turned around and entered a small mansion.

I saw an old man about fifty years old lying on a recliner in the courtyard with his eyes closed, and several teenagers were busy in the corridor.

It's like a family.

Aunt Xu was a little confused again.

"Lao Liu."

Guo Dan shouted.

When the old man heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Guo Dan, he hurriedly got up, "The proprietor is here." ”

Guo nodded with a smile and said, "I didn't disturb your rest." ”

"Nope! No! ”

Lao Liu shook his head, and hurriedly explained: "Owner, I slept late last night, and I just finished eating, and I am really sleepy, so I will take a rest here." ”

"You have to take care of your body, it's never done."

"Thank you for your concern."

Lao Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Guo Dan didn't blame her.

Guo Dan asked again: "Are you used to it here?" ”

Lao Liu hurriedly said: "Habit, get used to it, how can you not get used to this, the proprietor gave me such a good yard to make a studio alone, I still feel like I'm dreaming." ”

Aunt Xu blinked, this mansion is his studio?

When did the craftsman get this treatment?

To put it this way, it is not too big to take a workshop as a printing workshop.

Guo sighed lightly: "I don't want to be like this either, this house is not cheap, but who called you Lao Liu so good." ”

"Huh! The proprietor laughed, but he didn't dare to be old, he didn't dare to be. Lao Liu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Not to mention that Aunt Xu was surprised by this, he had been working here for several months, and he couldn't believe that he, a carver, could sit in such a large studio, which was much better than those officials.

Guo smiled lightly: "Take me to see your recent works." ”

"Yes. The proprietor is here, please. ”

Lao Liu took Guo Dan to the big room in the middle, and saw that there were many apprentices working inside, some wiping some movable type, and some doing typesetting.

"Proprietor, you see, these are the two kinds of movable type I have carved recently, which one do you think is better?"

In front of the big table directly above Guo Dan, Lao Liu saw two kinds of metal movable type, gold and gray, each with dozens of them, which were very exquisitely carved.

Rao is a well-informed Aunt Xu, but she has never seen such exquisite movable type.

Guo Dan looked at Lao Liu depressedly and said, "Lao Liu, have you been a little inflated lately, and you actually asked me such a shameful question in front of a beautiful woman, just tell me that kind of good." ”

Aunt Xu frowned slightly and opened her mouth slightly, but when she saw Yang Feixu on the side, she couldn't help it again.

If she said anything, Guo Dan would definitely say that she was referring to Yang Feixu, wouldn't she be even more embarrassed.

Lao Liu looked at Aunt Xu, then at Yang Feixu, suddenly reacted, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, proprietor, in my opinion, for now, this copper character is better, but this lead character may be able to do better, and it should be able to beat the copper character at that time." ”

Guo Dan asked, "Then have you discussed it with the R&D department?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Lao Liu nodded and said: "The R&D department also thinks so, there has been a breakthrough recently, and the production of copper characters has been reduced, I think it won't be long before we can all use lead characters." ”

Rich and rich, it's really nothing more than that.

Aunt Xu saw that many printing houses, including those in the government, still used wood and mud, but here they only chose metal.

"Lao Liu, you still know me best, I will not necessarily process the salary if I do more, but if I make progress, I will definitely process the salary." Guo smiled and nodded.

.....

Out of this house, Guo Dan took Aunt Xu around again, and Aunt Xu found that not only did this Lao Liu have a separate house as a studio, but many skilled craftsmen were all separate studios, and not everyone was working hard, and some of them were still watching "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Guo Dan didn't care either, and chatted with them about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The atmosphere was very relaxed.

This made Aunt Xu very curious, and asked, "I really didn't expect you to be better at these craftsmen than the employees of the dental shop." ”

The employees of Naya are working overtime almost every day.

Guo smiled lightly: "A few of them can enjoy this kind of treatment, don't look at them more leisurely, but their carved stereotype, can be used for a long time, the loss is also very low, this slow work out of fine work, in addition, their age, the main task is to take the apprentice, the apprentice still has to work very hard." ”

Aunt Xu nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered something, "Are you planning to use the newspaper to compete with them for the dominance of public opinion?" ”

"It's worthy of a layman, and he reacted so quickly."

Guo Dan glanced at Aunt Xu approvingly.

Aunt Xu frowned slightly, only to feel that something was wrong, and thought, that Ma Bao appeared very early, why had he never used this power before? Don't... Could it all be a trap.

Thinking of this, she only felt a burst of creepy, and squinted at Guo Dan.

But seeing Guo Dan's harmless smile: "I invited the layman to come today, not only to find the reason, but also a little busy, and I need the help of the layman." Please. ”

Aunt Xu thought about it freely, and when she heard Guo Dan ask, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "This is simply a trap." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "It's just a game. ”

"A game?" A wry smile appeared on the corner of Aunt Xu's mouth.

She hadn't figured out before, Guo Dan had attracted all the people from the heavens here, how could he have a chance of winning.

But now she finally understands that the private academy is just a bait, and Kaifeng Mansion is a trap, and Guo Dan wants to launch a counterattack against Shilin here.

Although the newspaper appeared very early, it has always been a promotion for Marseille, and it is only about buying and selling, and not about anything else.

That's because in any place, newspapers and periodicals are restricted by the government, private newspapers are illegal, and the government is under the control of officials, and it is not feasible to use newspapers and periodicals to compete for public opinion, and a government decree can be blocked.

But it is different in Kaifeng Mansion, there is no official government here, and the press is only restricted by the imperial court.

Guo Dan first used his private academy to attract all the people from all over the world to come here, and then used newspapers and periodicals to fight with them here, he will take advantage of the time and place, and it is this "people" that he will fight for, once his theory is accepted, then it will definitely spread to all places, and he does not need to go to various places to propagate his own set of theories.

While pondering, Aunt Xu unconsciously followed Guo Dan into another house, only to see that there were three or five teenagers cleaning the sawdust in the yard, and there were many wooden planks piled up on the corridor.

Apparently this studio is dedicated to carving drawing panels.

"Hello proprietor!"

A middle-aged man walked out.

Guo smiled lightly: "Master Jiang, has the drawing board been completed?" ”

"The paintings sent by the proprietor are very simple, and I have carved several pieces, but I don't know what style the proprietor likes."

"Master Jiang, you will spoil me like this." Guo Dan laughed.

Master Jiang also laughed, and invited Guo Dan and them into the big room in the middle.

The sensible Master Jiang didn't show the engraving to Guo Dan, he knew that what Guo Dan wanted was the result, as for the quality of the engraving, Guo Dan couldn't understand it, he directly took out a few paintings that had been printed and showed them to Guo Dan.

Aunt Xu looked down and saw a row of characters painted on it, with a baby on the far right and an elderly man on the far left.

This is clearly painted as a person's growth.

Not only that, but there is a seed in the belly of the character, and as the character grows, the seed is slowly germinating and growing, and the branches and leaves are written with "loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame...... ”

The core idea of Confucianism.

At the same time, as the character grows, he also holds different tools in his hands.

Guo Dan smiled at Master Jiang: "Master Jiang, you said that this painting is too simple, then I won't praise you, you go and get busy first." ”

"Yes. Proprietors. ”

After Master Jiang went out, Guo Dan said to Aunt Xu: "This is the first issue of Yinuo Journal, the road to growth. ”
