Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit

"Shangluo Paper Mill was run by a businessman, but later it couldn't be operated and was sold to the master. Steward Yang went to see it, thinking that the old man was a big scholar, and it was always useful to run a paper factory, so he didn't think about making money. ”

When Xu Qing heard this, he opened a page and looked at it to the end. Sure enough, not only did the paper mill not make money, but also lost more than 50,000 yuan last year. Tapping lightly on the table, Xu Qing thought to himself, why not use the paper mill to set up a printing factory.

When he was in Cangzhou, Xu Qing experimented with engraving printing, and also printed many textbooks for Cangzhou's state school. It turns out that the cost of a printed copy is much smaller than the cost of a manuscript, however, due to the market, the price of a printed copy is not much lower. Luonan has Luoyang in the east and Chang'an in the west, all of which are cultural resorts, and if you can expand the books, the market should be good in the past five years. After five years, you can print popular novels, anecdotes, and even make newspapers to publish current events.

The rise of the body lies in the balance of nutrition, and the rise of the spirit lies in the knowledge of mastery. The Western Renaissance, without the help of movable type printing and papermaking, would have been just a movement of a few people.

Moreover, in this era of closed news, if you can grasp a credible newspaper, wouldn't you have mastered the guidance of public opinion?

Thinking of this, Xu Qing looked at the information of Shangluo Paper Factory again, and felt that he could use this matter to unite the big family. Big families pay attention to fame and fortune, and this printing technique can not only get fame but also make a lot of money, and they can't be tempted.

"Alas......" Xu Qing sighed heavily, looked through the account books casually, and said to Old Man Ni Bai: "It's good to show Yang Wen these things, by the way, bring a letter, let the director of Shangluo Paper Mill come to see me, I want to ask him something." ”

Old man Ni Bai went out in response, leaving a servant girl in the house, a pot of warm charcoal. The servant girl stood aside with her head down, Xu Qing glanced at her, only to see her yawning again and again. Xu Qing thought, although it is still early at this hour, it is indeed sleepy to stand aside and not be able to move or speak.

So Xu Qing ordered: "You go to sleep, right?" ”

The maidservant was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The lord forgives the sins, the lord forgives the sins, I got up too early today......

Xu Qing smiled, this group of maidservants boiled water and cooked for him early in the morning, and then it was another day's fatigue, who would blame her for yawning. So he waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you, I just want to stay alone, you go and help me get pen, ink, paper and inkstone." ”

The maidservant made a thousand blessings, brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Xu Qing asked her to go to the side to rest. With the brush in hand, Xu Qing habitually turned around, and habitually lowered his head to dodge. It's just because Xu Qing likes to turn the pen, and the brush often throws ink on his face, so he has developed these two habits.

I saw Xu Qing write on the paper:

First, a new batch of guns should be developed as soon as possible, and they should be able to reload. Second, potatoes should be planted quietly. Third, expand your strength in officialdom, become a towering tree, and choose a suitable forest to join. Fourth, it is necessary to further regulate the dark river, and the strength of the poisonous scorpion must be reflected. Fifth, spread out your money and belongings, and don't put your eggs in one basket.

After writing these five articles, Xu Qing read them, thought slightly, and added a small number in front of these five sentences to mark the order of completion. I saw that in front of the fifth article, there was a "1" written on it. Xu Qing smiled, five things must be done before going to Chang'an, at least four of them must be done, and the easiest one is not to scatter wealth. As the saying goes, you can't afford to provoke you, can't you hide?

Xu Qing's scattered wealth is not Tao Zhugong's scattered wealth, his is to find a few good places to hide the money. In case you fall out with the emperor or the emperor's successor that day, you can escape and find a better place to hide. Not to mention a comeback, but it can always be "at large".

There are three caves of cunning rabbits, and now Xu Qing has five caves, one is Chang'an, which is Xu Qing's political headquarters and the first economic center, and it is a place that can be attacked. The second is Luonan, which is Xu Qing's recuperation place and the second economic center, and it is a place that can be defended. The third is Liaodong, which belongs to distant relatives, in case the Tang Dynasty can't survive, he can still bully and bully Goguryeo.

The fourth is the Dark River Station, as a mobile military camp, the Dark River is not only strong in force, but also has a large amount of funds in reserve for Xu Qing. Fifth, it is Manid's caravan, he travels the world, and in case of trouble, he can go to him to get a large sum of money. The first three moves are to make Xu Qing not afraid of causing trouble, and he is not afraid of the guarantee of being with people. The last three moves are all means that Xu Qing can afford to hide.

On the Chang'an side, in order to enhance the advantage of attacking, the Guangjiao coalition army is also needed. The Canton Alliance, on the other hand, may have to give up some of its economic interests. On Luonan's side, the political strength is not strong, so it is better to raise the economic strength. Large-scale factories and large-scale businesses are used to cover up the potato matter.

Potatoes are good, he doesn't want apples and pears, they grow outside, and others can know when they see them. The tubers of the potatoes are buried in the ground, and if Xu Qing doesn't say it, no one knows what kind of "weed" it is.

In this case, the wealth will be scattered to such a few places, at this time Chang'an is the most profitable, and if you make money, you will move to Luonan. Then he took the money from Luonan and handed it over to Dark River, so that they could go to Datang to open industries and buy fields, and the funds were quickly converted into industries. Secondly, it is necessary to let Dark River send the money to Liaodong and Manid. On the Liaodong side, it can not only allow Broken Hongchen to build Liaodong, but also let Dark River find a force outside the country. Manid, on the other hand, can find a way to buy industries in the Western Regions, Turks, and Tibet.

Xu Qing had a map of the whole of East Asia in his mind, and then his own industries were secretly established on the map. Xu Qing simply wrote down these words in his heart on paper, and the advantage of this is that he will not forget them, and he can clearly see the connection between various events.

Not to mention, Xu Qing glanced at it and felt that the most important thing was the construction of the dark river. The dark river communicates Xu Qing's "caves" in various places, and the dark river cannot be stationed in various places all year round. Xu Qing's heart moved, it was time to establish a peripheral dark river.

Therefore, the dark river on the periphery is a peripheral organization that does not directly contact Xu Qing, and even Xu Qing does not know. They are responsible for taking care of Xu Qing's industry in various places, like the "outer disciples" in fantasy novels.

But who is this vest looking for, or is it that he has pinched out some kind of organization, black soil? White clouds?

Xu Qing slapped his thigh, isn't there still the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce!
