"Haha, you don't know. What time is it? If the traitor is among them, I must be highly vigilant when I am just invited, so I will sleep first, and then go when the day is almost dawn and everyone is tired. ”

After Zong Xiu finished speaking, he really pulled the quilt and fell asleep.

At dawn, Yi Tingqing woke up Zong Xiu, and Jin Hu was still asleep, Yi Tingqing put some food on the edge of the nest and went straight to the hall of Jiangjia Village.

The assembly hall of Jiangjia Village was built according to Zongxiu's instructions, and the wooden structure was simple to build, and it only took half a month for 100 craftsmen to get it done.

Zong Xiu's original intention of building a large conference room was to occasionally hold meetings with his management and brainwash him.

It's just that he didn't expect that the first time he used the large conference room was to catch a mole, which was also unlucky.

The eastern sky was white, and there were dozens of young men with sticks standing outside the hall, and when they saw Zong Xiu coming, they hurriedly greeted: "Hello, president." ”

"Well, what's going on inside?" Zong Xiu asked casually.

The young man who led the leader responded: "According to the president's orders, you can do anything except not let them sleep." Uncle Chen personally stared at it for a night, and it is estimated that he will be sleepy. ”

Are you sleepy? Just act.

The corners of Zong Xiu's mouth outlined a strange smile, and he led Yi to walk into the hall.

The interior of the hall was built according to Zongxiu's requirements, with a lectern in the innermost part and rows of long tables and chairs outside.

When Zong Xiu entered, he saw more than 100 people sitting in the entire hall, both old and young.

The younger ones are mostly literate children in Jiangjia Village, and the older ones are the typesetting masters recruited by Jiang Jian later.

Jiang Chen was patrolling back and forth, slapping the table vigorously from time to time to wake up the dozing people.

And those masters who were invited to come over overnight shrugged their eyelids one by one, and they were already sleepy.

After all, they sat here all night, just sitting! It's not allowed to talk to each other in the middle, so it's strange if you're not sleepy.

Jiang Chen was the first to see Zong Xiu and Yi come over, and shouted: "The president is here, sober me up!" ”

"President?"

"The president is here?"

"President, what do you have important things to say? The ...... of this night's sleep."

……

Crowd forced to cheer up? looked at Zong Xiu's eyes with more or less resentment: You let us wait for you, saying that there is something important to explain? But why didn't you say you were waiting for a night? Did you know it was so? Let's go back to sleep and come back in the morning.

Zong Xiu walked quickly to the podium? Coughed lightly twice, and said with an apologetic smile: "Excuse me? Excuse me? I forgot about it, I slept it, and I was woken up by the girl in the morning to remember it, so forgive me. ”

"That's it? Just? Anyway, they all waited for a night. I hope that the president will tell us in advance next time, after all, the wife and children are waiting at home, and it is difficult to explain if you don't return at night. ”

Zong Xiu apologized, and those 'word room' masters were not easy to hold onto, after all, they were buddies? Jong so is the owner.

Zong Xiu said a few more polite words, turned his head and said, "Brother Jiang? Have you all arrived? ”

"I counted with Uncle Jiang earlier, and there is no shortage of all the character masters? It's all here. ”

Jiang Chen pointed to Jiang Lian, who was still sitting below and sighed.

"Well, let's get started." Zong Xiu knocked on the table? Lang said: "Gather everyone today?" It's nothing more than two things. Is this the first thing? I think everyone knows that. Yesterday, several paper merchants who have been supplying us for a long time sat on the ground, and I have decided to terminate the cooperation with them. ”

"What? Termination of cooperation? ”

"President, what about the paper in the future?"

"yes, you can't start a job without paper."

"Isn't the president going to continue printing newspapers?"

“……”

As soon as Zong Xiu's words fell, the people below immediately discussed.

And Yi Qingqing, who was standing next to Zong Xiu, stared at his eyes and examined everyone's expressions one by one.

Yi Chengqing grew up in Yi Feng Pavilion since she was a child, and there are everyone in the land of wind and dust, and she has already developed a pair of discerning eyes to observe words and colors.

In the eyes of Yi Touqing, there are more than 100 'word room' masters below, some of whom are shocked, and some of whom are tired of not caring about themselves.

Zong Xiu knocked on the table again and said loudly: "What are you arguing about, my own business, can I still not take it to heart?" It's just that those paper merchants deceived people too much, and they didn't know where to get the news, knowing that we were going to print dictionaries on a large scale, and they wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and sit on the ground to raise prices, how could the official tolerate him. The president would rather not do this printing business than cheapen them. ”

"What? President, are you planning to close the printing shop? ”

"President, if the printing stops, can we still work with you? In fact, when I was at home, I also helped the lady cut clothes, and I can also do the work of new clothes. ”

"President, I also learned to dye cloth, can I go to the factory of new clothes?"

"Oh, you can still go to work in the new winddress, what can I do? I can't do anything but recognize a few words. Which damn brute leaked the news, didn't that cause everyone to have nothing to eat? ”

"That's it, find out and kill him!"

"This brute, with the monthly money issued by the president, dares to eat inside and out, and after being caught, he will definitely dip the pig cage and light the sky lantern!"

In addition to the children of Jiangjia Village, most of the others are old Confucian students who have failed many times, and in addition to helping people write a letter and keep an account, they are digging in the field and can't make a few dollars a year.

Since Zong Xiu opened the 'printing house', they have been recruited, and their living conditions have skyrocketed.

If Zong Xiuzhen closed the printing house, they would have to find another way to live.

It's okay if you have other skills, you can do it in Xinfeng, but if you don't have that ability, I'm afraid you will have to live back to your original poor life.

The crowd shouted fiercely, some wanted to find another way back, and some were indignant and scolded.

This time, Zong Xiu didn't stop it, and let them quarrel.

"Childe, I found it."

Yi Qingqing suddenly came to Zong Xiu's side and whispered in his ear.

"Are you sure?" Zong Xiu also asked in a low voice.

Yi whispered: "Seven or eight out of ten." ”

"Okay, then I'll try again."

Zong Xiu knocked on the table again and said, "Okay, don't make any noise, don't I have a second thing to say?" ”

Seeing that everyone was quiet again, Zong Xiu said: "Don't worry, the printing house will never be closed, as for the ghost who leaked the news, I have already reported it to Jingzhao Mansion, and Jin Wuwei will come to investigate this matter thoroughly." After all, our printing house is licensed by His Majesty, and now that there is an internal ghost, maybe even the bad handsome will be sent over to investigate. ”

"Shhh...... Bad handsome Dong Xuancheng? ”

"If there is a bad handsome, the ghost will definitely not be able to run."

"President, can we deal with the inner ghost by ourselves? Damn, this ghost almost hurt us and we don't have anything to eat, we must peel his skin and cramp, and break his bones and ashes to relieve his anger. ”

"Yes, yes, the people who know about this must be among us, I suggest that everyone don't leave, and wait for the bad handsome to come over."

"Hey...... The place where the bad handsome man passes must be bloody and bloody, I'm afraid that those of us who haven't done this will also suffer, which heartless bastard is it! If you are still a human being, and you still have a little conscience, stand up for yourself, and don't hurt us all. ”

Datang's "bad guys" are in charge of arresting. The reason why they are called bad people is because all bad people are people with evil deeds before they become government officials, so they are called "bad" and also called "bad spine".

And the current bad handsome 'Dong Xuancheng' is even more famous, it is said that he is a world-famous Jiangyang thief in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty in the previous dynasty, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil.

However, this person is omniscient, has a unique secret technique, is good at reconnaissance and concealment, and his mind is extremely meticulous, stirring up the state capital is restless, but there is nothing he can do.

It wasn't until after the founding of the Tang Dynasty that he committed a crime in Chang'an City, and was captured by Hou Junji.

After Dong Xuancheng joined the bad guys, he solved several strange cases in a row, and rose all the way to become the bad guy in charge of the 'bad guys' in the world.

However, every time he solves a case, he can come up with any cruel method in order to ask for a confession and find clues. is because his reputation in the hearts of the people is extremely bad, and he is almost to the point of talking about 'Dong'.

Now when I heard that 'bad handsome Dong Xuancheng' would come over to personally investigate the case, some people applauded and some people were worried.

Yi poured out and whispered in his ear again: "Childe, you can be sure." Do you want to get him out now? ”

Zong Xiu shook his head slightly: "No, I have my own opinions." ”

After speaking, Zong Xiu pressed down with both hands and motioned for the people below to shut up.

"Everyone, be quiet, let go of the inner ghost in advance, and the court will do it, and the second thing I want to announce is that we will prepare to open a third factory in the world - a paper mill!"

"If you know papermaking skills, you can report to Jiang Bona later, whether it works or not, go over and help erect the frame first."

Zong Xiu quickly announced the second news and let everyone disperse.

Some people are still worried about the internal ghosts, saying that they will wait for the bad handsome to come over, but Zong Xiu smiled and said: "It's okay, this matter will not be investigated first, the matter is important." ”

After everyone withdrew, only four people were left in the huge hall: Zong Xiu, Yi Qianqing, Jiang Jian and Jiang Chen.

Jiang Jian was still blaming himself, and after Zong Xiu comforted him a few words, he whispered a few words to Yi and winked again.

Yi walked up to Jiang Chen's side and whispered, "Brother Jiang, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Don't be troublesome, the girl has anything to say."

has been by Zong Xiu's side for a long time, and Jiang Chen can't see the status of Yi Affection.

Although Zong Xiu shouts in front of and after the 'girl' every day, he loves the girl in his heart.

Yi covered his mouth and chuckled: "It's not a big deal, is it okay to take a step to speak?" ”

"yes, okay."

Jiang Chen followed with a knife.

The two of them walked quickly to the door, and after Yi said a few words, Jiang Chen was instantly furious, and shouted out to a dozen or so young men who were on duty outside to leave in a hurry.

Jiang Lianren was old and refined, and reacted instantly: "The chairman has already found the inner ghost who leaked the news?" ”

"Hehe, Uncle Jiang, you don't have to worry about this matter, just leave the affairs of the inner ghost to Brother Jiang."

"But ......"

Jiang Lian is an old man after all, and he has a soft heart.

"President, the people who come to work for us are all hard-working people, and they have families and mouths, if they find out the ghosts inside, can they be spared? The old man believed that if it had not been for coercion, they would not have done such a thing. ”

Zong Xiu sighed and did not respond positively.

"Uncle Jiang, your duty is to take care of the printing house, and you don't need to worry about other things. By the way, I recently had time to make a list for me, and I wrote down all the good and good-hearted people on weekdays, which is of great use. ”
