Chapter 43
"This person is a little familiar, huh?" Mu Tou suddenly said beside Su Xiaocai, "I seem to have beaten him the night before yesterday...... The lights on the street are dim, and I can't recognize it clearly...... "This kid changed his pants and came back again!"
I understand, isn't the person who beat him the night before yesterday the evil servant of the Wang family?
It seems that Qin Hui, this kid, still has the two ear scrapers on his face to his heart, and he hasn't revealed it!
"Li Xun is a petty official, this one said that these firecrackers were thrown into the Bianhe River by the bald merchant he watched, this sued Li Ji Bookstore for privately making ordnance, and now there are human and material evidence, and the petty officials have to go to Xiangfu County with a few brothers...... "The soldiers have just received money, so their attitude is quite polite now."
"Master Jun, the grass people are wronged! With this little thing, where can it be regarded as privately made ordnance! It's just a couple of bigger firecrackers......"
"Your kind of firecracker, the sound is earth-shattering, and the mud seal of the lead mouth has broken the ears of the bald merchant, if it is filled with broken iron, stones, etc., wouldn't it kill people?" The evil servant of the Wang family said.
"Oh, in that case, then you order one, let's try it, and see if this thing has the power you say?" Su Xiaocai pointed to this pile of wet artillery battles, looking like a scoundrel.
"This thing is wet, how can it ignite?"
"You can wait until you're done......"
"You've already ordered one in front of you, and the sound is so loud that you can hear it for ten miles, and I saw it with my own eyes, and the mud splashed hurt the ears of the bald merchant......"
Master laughed, shook his head, and said, "You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, this ear was bitten by a bat last night, and it was just a firecracker, how could it hurt your ear?" ”
"Nonsense, what are bats biting your ears for no reason?"
"So, it's just a firecracker, what are you doing jumping on my ears for no reason?"
"You ......"
"What are you?"
"I saw with my own eyes that your ears were bruised by the mud of this big firecracker......"
"Which eye do you see? Who, did you see with your own eyes that my ear was bitten by a bat? Master asked about wood instead.
Wood nodded on the side like pounding garlic, and said: "I saw a lot of things yesterday, not only did I see this person's ear, bitten by a bat, but also saw an old sow give birth to eighty piglets, it's really amazing, I saw it with my own eyes......"
"It's just......"
"No, no, how can you talk nonsense if you see this kind of thing with your own eyes?" Wood laughed.
"Look, he saw that my ear was bitten by a bat......" Master laughed as well.
The evil servant of the Wang family was so angry that he was like thunder, and everyone knew that the person in front of him named Li Xun, as well as this bald head and a group of people, were just talking nonsense, they were messing around......
But these wet firecrackers in front of me obviously can't be ignited.
"Master Jun, you should ask the others, there are many people who saw this big firecracker ignited...... Besides, if this kind of firecracker is not very powerful, where will there be a sound like a flat ground explosion? ”
The five shopkeepers then asked the people around them, and everyone shook their heads, saying that they had not seen firecrackers hurt the bald ears......
As for the sound, Shop Bing explained: "The firecracker in front of him was like a thunder on the ground, but they made it a little bigger, and it was as big as a human head, so the sound was like thunder...... This is the first time this kind of thing has been encountered, and there is no royal law stipulating that such a large firecracker cannot be set off......
As for the basket of evidence in front of me, it seems that it will not burn for a while, so the evidence is insufficient, so I think this matter will be settled, right? What do you think? ”
"Suspected of making weapons privately, it's still in the city of Tokyo, how can you just say it's such a big deal? Wouldn't it be clear that the physical evidence needs to be sealed and dried and then lit to test the power? "The evil servants of the Wang family rely on the power of the family, of course, they will not take a few small soldiers in their eyes.
"May I ask what is the sacredness of the majesty? Why do you listen to you? ”
"The villain is a servant in the palace of the king Xiangye, and the villain doesn't mean to ask a few military masters to listen to the villain......"
These shopkeepers, hearing this guy say this, their faces changed.
They turned to Su Xiaocai and said: "Since everyone has asked for it, we can't help it, we will seal these evidences for the time being, it seems that you will have to come to the county government tomorrow......
"Okay, when Xiao Ke first arrived in Tokyo, he made up his mind to be honest and do his duty, and he would never dare to do the business of violating the king's law and killing his head......
Therefore, the body is not afraid of the shadow, since he is going to court tomorrow, the villain will arrive tomorrow, and it will not be difficult for a few ......" Su Xiaocai bowed his hand to a few soldiers, and said with a straight face.
Those few soldiers were also arched, but it was obvious that their attitude towards Su Xiaocai and his gang had become very indifferent.
One of the shopkeepers picked up the basket of wet firecrackers, and they pushed through the crowd and walked away......
"I didn't expect that there would be such a ......," said the master, covering his ears.
"Leave it alone, nothing will happen! Everyone continued with the original plan, and now the guests who bought the afternoon session have already entered the venue, and tell the old man to start talking...... Advance tickets will be suspended after five days...... Isn't this a good benefit? ”
"It's just unbelievable! Tickets within five days are about to be sold out, and they have to stop immediately......
In less than an hour, the ticket sales alone have now received 1,500 taels......
There was still a long queue, and there were many people who didn't buy tickets at all!
Why are tickets only sold for five days? Master was excited and puzzled......
"Since we can sell it like this, we will expand the scale within five days, and then set up a few more stores, and the storytelling thing will sell freshly!
If you only talk about a book over and over again in Li Ji Bookstore, many people will come to listen to it, and after listening to it a lot, they will tell stories to others when they go out, and pass it around, and everyone will understand the general story......
When the time comes, who will come to us to listen to books? ”
"Yes! That's the truth!"
"So we're going to scale up quickly, and we're going to do our best to satisfy everyone's curiosity at the time of several bookstores...... Curiosity is a thing that will wear off little by little after a while......
When all 2,000 copies of our book are sold, there will be a wave of piracy and copying in the whole of Tokyo and even in the world......
But once these people rise up to make profits, our profits will be very thin, and this is a one-shot deal! We have to do our best to smash this hammer with all our strength and smash it to an effect......
And then I just just let this piece go and make a new story come out......"
"Where else can there be such a good story...... I don't know where you heard such a good story, everyone loves to hear it...... But the next story, people don't necessarily like to hear it......"
"Hey...... Without this diamond, I wouldn't have done this porcelain work! If you want to spread the stall so big, you will naturally be confident!
Master, don't worry, there is nothing else in the belly of the apprentice, there are many good stories, and there is no problem in guaranteeing that it will be sold for more than ten years......"
"God, you are very human......
Now that the matter is so decided, there is some busyness. Master immediately turned around and was about to go out......
"Why are you going?"
"Just go to the shop, recruit people, spread the stall within five days, the time is urgent, work around the clock for five days, presumably to achieve the effect you want......"
"Aren't we going to have some other errand runners to go in and do this with you?"
"Alas...... There are not many such people, and most of them are not in the capital...... The entrance to our 'Five Elements Gate' is still relatively strict, because they are all craftsmen, and there are relatively few people who are particularly clever and able to speak, and most of the workers seem to be more cunning, which does not meet the standards of our honest and honest selection......
So, we don't have a lot of people like that right now......"
"There's a major flaw in doing this, don't you know? As a craftsman, it's okay to be honest!
However, in order to organize these people and manage them in a unified and coordinated manner, it is necessary to have management talents......
Alas, it's no wonder that when I first met a group of carpenters and masons such as his father, they were all like wood! Three mallets can't make a cold fart!
It turns out that they were all selected this way! No wonder, no wonder......
So be it...... I'll go to Qiqi, ask Di Sanniang for someone, cooperate with them, and do this business......
After all, everyone is in the same vein, and since there is a rift, it is necessary to make up for it...... I can't just watch them push Qiqi into the fire pit......
There are some things that you have to do knowing that you can't do, not to mention, what Di Sanniang did is not irreparable......"
"Di Sanniang's tendon can't pull the cow back......"
"Then bring her back with eighty cows......"
"In that case, then it's up to you...... But when it comes to selling shops and recruiting people, I still have to do it immediately......"
"What you're going to do now is to try to destroy that basket of firecrackers......
I looked closely, and although this thing had been soaked in water, the paper was not soaked, and the mud seals at both ends were not even soaked off......
In other words, after this thing is dried, you can really point out the explosion thunder again! At that time, we will be entangled in lawsuits......" Su Xiaocai said.
"It's okay, I've already made arrangements......"
"I told you about the festival with the Wang family...... It seems that this kid Qin Hui didn't plan to expose this layer......
And Qin Hui, a person with a bad stomach, is not a stupid person, he will definitely send people to guard us strictly, once we make any changes, we will fall into their trap......
So, I don't know what your plan is, but I'm still a little apprehensive in my heart......"
