In the small courtyard of Qujiang, Zong Xiu jumped and jumped angrily, scolding Li Chunfeng vigorously.

Yi took the holy decree with curiosity: "Dr. Wupin Guozi, add the title of Doctor Zhongsan, it's a good thing." Why is Childe angry? ”

"Nonsense! Dr. Guozijian has people in every position. Now that His Majesty has crowned me as a doctor of arithmetic, it must be Li Chunfeng's resignation! Isn't this a clear trick for me? ”

Zong Xiu shouted angrily: "Duke Wei and I met twice, so I handed over the resignation of the official, Your Majesty is hating me." Li Chunfeng met with me yesterday and resigned, what do you want Your Majesty to think of me? ”

The more Zong Xiu thought about it, the more angry he became, he just didn't want Li Chunfeng to tell Li Shimin the results of the meeting yesterday, so he deliberately fooled a few words.

It's good now, it's fun again, Li Chunfeng has also resigned, what do you make Li Shimin think?

At best, Zong Xiu can be eloquent; At worst, it's good at demagogy.

What son of heaven wants to watch his capable ministers resign one after another?

After listening to Zong Xiu's explanation, Yi Tongqing also wanted to understand the stakes. The last time Wei Gong resigned, Zong Xiu was assassinated the next day. Right now......

Yi said nervously: "Childe, why don't we go and recruit some guards." ”

“……”

Zong Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Family guards? Your Majesty really wants to kill me, and no number of guards will be enough, unless you recruit troops and raise flags to make trouble. ”

"Shh......h Childe said cautiously. ”

Yi exclaimed, lest his words be heard.

"Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it. Li Chunfeng, that pit, can't you use your brain before doing anything? ”

Zong Xiu cursed Li Chunfeng resentfully, but Yi poured out his affection but smiled with phoenix eyes.

She remembered the incident of Yi Fengge that night. It must have been his son-in-law who said something that shouldn't have been said, which caused Li Chunfeng to resign in fright like Li Jing.

"Let's go, go to Jiangjia Village."

Zong Xiu was angry enough, got up and walked out.

Yi Chengqing hurriedly put on the veil, and he was behind Zong Xiu.

The workshop in Jiangjia Village is still in a hurry, and 100 households are printing the first issue of newspapers and periodicals.

"Jiang Lizheng."

Zong Xiu entered the workshop and called Jiang Jian directly.

Jiang Jian took an ink-proof apron, rubbed his hands and walked over quickly: "What do the owners order?" ”

"Don't print the second issue of newspapers and periodicals for the time being, first print the first issue to 200,000 copies!"

"Ah...... Are so many sold out? ”

Zong Xiu said: "What are you afraid of, the Chai family has promised to help us sell it all over the country, you can directly manage the seal, and the people of the Chai family will come to pay the money and pick up the goods after five days." ”

"Yes, yes."

Hearing that the Chai family helped with the distribution, Jiang Jian was completely convinced: the new owner really has hands and eyes, and everyone knows him. No wonder a team of Jin Wuwei carrying boxes came just now.

Zong Xiu thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, are you familiar with the people in the nearby Zhuangzi?" ”

Jiang Jian nodded: "Five miles further down is Yangjiazhuang, and there is Wangjiatun next to it, all of them are big Zhuangzi, is the owner going to recruit people?" We are a little short of manpower now, and it is easier to recruit more people. ”

Subordinates learn to think, which is a good sign.

Zong Xiu immediately laughed: "Yes, yes, I'll leave the recruitment to you." When we have more people, I will make you a factory director. ”

As he spoke, Zong Xiu laughed and left, and Jiang Jian was thinking independently: "Factory director? What kind of official is the factory director? ”

Yesterday, movable type printing had been dedicated to Li Shimin by him, and all kinds of control methods had been written and handed in, so the craftsmen who had been detained in the backyard to prevent leakage of secrets were also put back.

Zong Xiu found the reward that Jin Wuwei had placed in the warehouse, which contained 1,000 taels of gold, 20,000 taels of silver, as well as a vermilion small official robe of the fifth grade, silver fish charms, and fish bags.

Under Yi's affectionate service, Zong Xiu changed into a new official robe, brought a fish charm and a fish bag, and said, "Girl, do you think the son looks good?" ”

Yi covered his mouth and snickered: "Good-looking, the son has poetry and books in his belly, and he looks good in anything." ”

Zong Xiu: "......"

Praise me for having poetry and books in my belly? Who will be buried? Isn't this tantamount to saying that I'm not handsome enough?

The two of them were playing and amusing when a person suddenly walked in, carrying a bucket in his hand, as if he had come to change the ink.

"Brother Jiang, why are you working here?" Zong Xiu saw that it was Jiang Chen, and hurriedly walked over: "Put it down, the injury on your shoulder is not healed yet." ”

Since Jiang Chen blocked Zong Xiu's arrow that night, Zong Xiu has always remembered Jiang Chen's kindness.

So after the Jiangjiacun workshop started, Zong Xiu deliberately didn't let Jiang come to help cook, and let her stay at home to take care of Jiang Chen.

Fortunately, now it's only been more than ten days, and Jiang Chen actually went to the workshop to work by himself.

Jiang Chen was embarrassed: "Adult, the small injury is almost healed, seeing that everyone is working, it is not a matter for me to stay at home, so I brought my wife with me." ”

"What? You also brought your sister-in-law? Zong Xiu was startled at first, and asked in a deep voice: "Is it that the position of Guozijian has been lost?" ”

"This ......"

Jiang Chen was embarrassed to say that he had been at home for more than ten days, and the general in charge of Guozijian arranged for his relatives to take his place.

Now that he has no money, if he doesn't find a job, relying on the gold and silver given to him by Zong Xiu alone is equivalent to sitting on a mountain empty.

Seeing Jiang Chen's sad face, Zong Xiu sighed: "It's just a military commander, if you lose it, you lose it." ”

Yi Qingqing suddenly leaned over and said, "Childe, Brother Jiang is a good kung fu, why don't you keep him by your side as a guard." When traveling in the future, it is good to have someone to take care of before and after the saddle? ”

Jiang Chen's face was obviously happy, and he was very moved.

Zong Xiu looked at Jiang Chen, who was burly, and said with a smile: "Yes." In the future, when the business becomes bigger, you will inevitably go out to socialize with others, Brother Jiang, if you don't dislike it, you will follow me in the future, and the monthly money will be calculated as ten taels first? ”

"Hey, that's too much."

Jiang Chen shirked it, and said that he would just give it to him according to the Guozijian's salary.

These days, Zong Xiu also has a general understanding of Jiang Chen - loyal and honest, and his skills are also good.

He is not short of money now, if he is not afraid of giving too much and scaring Jiang Chen away, he still wants to give a hundred taels.

After all, faithful people are hard to buy.

After several prevarications, in the end, Zong Xiu decided to set a monthly salary of ten taels, and asked Jiang Shi, who was helping the kitchen in the front hall, to go back immediately, and only need to cook for him in the future.

In the next few days, the workshop in Jiangjia Village frantically printed the first issue of the newspaper every day.

Jiang Jian is also a capable person, I don't know what method he used, he recruited five or six hundred people from several Zhuangzi in the surrounding area: to manage the rice, the monthly money is still small, and each person only needs one penny of silver per month.

With more manpower, the speed of printing is naturally faster. The entire workshop worked in three shifts day and night, and the Chai family also sent someone to bring 6,000 taels of silver to take away the first batch of newspapers and periodicals, and handed over the current news content to be printed in the second issue of newspapers and periodicals to Zong Xiu.

Zong Xiu saw that printing was slowly on the right track, and he went to Jiangjia Village less often, and stayed at home every day to figure out the next plan.

And Jiang Chen's two sons are now his guards and the other is his cook.

The four of them have been together for a long time, and they have become acquainted, and they are much more bold in speaking and doing things.

That night, Jiang cooked a meal and beckoned Zong Xiu, who was busy in the back room, to come out for dinner.

As soon as he ate a few bites of food, Jiang suddenly grinned and said, "Adults and young talents, how can they stay at home every day." ”

Zong Xiu swallowed the food in his mouth: "Isn't this busy business." ”

Jiang Shi said with concern: "Business is busy, and personal life's major events can't be left behind." Do adults have good girls? If not, I know a few beautiful yellow flower girls. You don't have to marry a wife, just be a concubine. ”
