Chapter 13: The Problem

The books have begun to be printed, and the quality is naturally incomparable with the books in Ye Zhao's previous life, but there is already this idea, and the remaining problems can be overcome slowly, this first batch of books, Ye Zhao suggested that Liu Hong first secretly find some merchants to sell, and it is best not to sell them in Luoyang at first.

Luoyang is too sensitive, there are too many capable people, once it appears, the backlash is also the largest, it is better to find some remote small counties to start the layout, step by step expansion, waiting for the influence to expand to Luoyang step by step.

Ye Zhao and Liu Hong finally selected the place in Jingzhou, one is remote, the other is the flourishing of Jingzhou's literary style, it is also a place to produce talents, if you can open up the situation in Jingzhou, the promotion speed will be much faster, if you choose too backward places, even if you put the book in front of people for free, no one may be willing to take it, throughout the ages, the more backward the place, the weaker the emphasis on knowledge and education.

After only a month, the merchants who had been sent to sell the books were like a stone in the sea, and there was no more news, let alone promotion, and the money for printing these books seemed to be lost.

"Ye Qing, why is this?" In the spacious and bright palace, Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao with a somewhat anxious expression.

"Back to Your Majesty, it was the minister who underestimated the harm of this thing to others!" Ye Zhao said in a deep voice, what he sent out was not a business brigade, in addition to the merchants sent by the Son of Heaven, Ye Zhao also sent some, and they were broken into pieces, and they didn't even know the existence of each other, even if someone was bought, it was impossible for everyone to be bought together.

For more than a month, all the merchants sent had no news, only one explanation, and someone saw the danger of this thing and secretly took action.

And the power of the person who shot it should be not small in Jingzhou, otherwise it would be impossible to make those people evaporate from the world so silently, and it is easy to kill people, but the killing is so unaware, which shows that the entire Jingzhou officials have suppressed these things.

"That's it?" Liu Hong sighed, he knew better than Ye Zhao the strength of his opponent, as the emperor, he did things that were beneficial to the future, but he didn't dare to make it loud, but instead pretended to be promoted by the hands of eunuchs, and he couldn't clean it up with great fanfare, which made Liu Hong feel very aggrieved.

"Naturally not, Your Majesty has invested so much, and even the bookstore has already been built, if you give up on this, not to mention the previous achievements, it will be a great loss for Your Majesty." Ye Zhao thought for a while and said: "At this time, what Your Majesty needs is a place that is enough to open the situation, as long as the situation is opened, even if the people behind it are powerful, it will be difficult to change the general trend." ”

"What's your plan?" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao.

"Brilliant idea?" Ye Zhao smiled bitterly: "It's nothing more than a change of place to try again, but this time the intensity should be increased, it is best to ensure that the local Taishou is absolutely loyal to Your Majesty, so that things will be much easier, but since Jingzhou can't do it, Yingchuan doesn't have to try again, these two places are full of literary style, but the power of the scholar clan is too huge, and the minister suggests giving it a try in Hanzhong." ”

"Hanzhong?" Liu Hong said in surprise.

"Yes, Hanzhong." Ye Zhao nodded affirmatively: "This is the land of Longxing, Gaozu was prosperous here, the Han Dynasty has been transported down for four hundred years, and Hanzhong is also quite prosperous, although the style of study is not as good as the land of Jingxiang and Yingchuan, but it is not bad, the people's wisdom is opened early, and the most important thing is that this place is relatively closed due to the topography, if Your Majesty can send a loyal minister as the Taishou, why not open the situation?" ”

Liu Hong suddenly squinted at Ye Zhao and said with a smile: "Ye Qing said so, but there is a suitable candidate?" ”

"Indeed." Ye Zhao nodded.

"Tell me." Liu Hong sat down and smiled.

"Fufeng Sugu." Ye Zhao said a name that surprised Liu Hong.

"Sugu?" Liu Hong thought for a moment, and couldn't help nodding, although Su Gu was born in a family, but his family was in the middle of the road, and he was quite popular in Fufeng, but his loyalty to the court was not in doubt, but he was a little stereotyped, unpleasant, and capable...... Yes, but it's not high, more than one person has commented that Su Gu's talent is too good for a county.

But what kind of ability, Liu Hong actually doesn't care, what he really appreciates is Su Gu's loyalty, this is a person who is willing to implement Liu Hong's every order to the extreme, and therefore, even if he doesn't like this person, he still promoted Su Gu from a county order to Luoyang as an official.

"I thought that the secretary would recommend himself." Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao and smiled.

"The minister can't do this." Ye Zhao shook his head and smiled: "There is a specialization in the art industry, the minister is good at judging cases, and he is also good at planning people's hearts, but if you really let the minister deal with these trivial matters, the minister may not be as good as the previous Taishou, the minister has self-knowledge, and the minister thinks that in Luoyang, the minister can play a greater role." ”

"Not bad!" Liu Hong couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "But Qing doesn't have to be arrogant, when he was the former minister of Liang Guo, Liang Guo was saved from bandits because of Qing, Qing's ability, plus merit, if he is too guarded in one place, he will inevitably be a little more talented." ”

Hanzhong Taishou, if he can, Ye Zhao wants to ask for himself, the bank of the Qinling Mountains, coupled with the closed environment, is very suitable for recuperation and recuperation, and wait and see the changes of the times, but at least at this time, Ye Zhao can't leave Luoyang, he is playing a game of chess, a game of chess that is enough to pry the foundation of the family, but he doesn't want to appear in front of people like Shang Ying, and finally have a bad death.

The best way is to take advantage of the fact that the Han family is still alive, and use the power of the Han family to promote this matter, so that he does not have to bear the anger of the world's corporals, and transfer this backlash to Liu Hong, and Liu Hong has obviously suffered from the family and is quite interested in this matter.

Liu Hong is eager to break the situation, and although Ye Zhao has different ideas, he also does not want the situation of the family monopolizing the world to continue, so Ye Zhao must know Liu Hong's thoughts at any time and discuss how to further expand the influence, so at this time, he can't go, as for the place to seek a life, as long as the time is ripe in the future, Ye Zhao will naturally choose a place as a way out, if there is no chaos today, the banner of the Han family is still supporting, and it is not a good thing to set up a place to seek a life too early.

If these ideas are taken out, Ye Zhao is undoubtedly the representative of the rebellious ministers and thieves, but the Han family is dying, and since Ye Zhao already knows the trend of history, it is not inappropriate to plan for himself early.

Discussed some specific details, if you want to implement these things in Hanzhong, the first thing you have to stabilize is Su Gu's position as a Taishou, at least don't take office soon, he will inexplicably die of illness or something, so Su Gu must at least master the military power in Hanzhong in order to grasp the initiative, this time, Ye Zhao conservatively estimates that even if Su Gu takes office immediately, it will not be able to stabilize until the beginning of next year, and then it is the time to lay.

The first time has failed, this time, neither Ye Zhao nor Liu Hong wants to fail again, so Su Gu's appointment as the Taishou of Hanzhong, Liu Hong and Ye Zhao both attach great importance to it, and the plan is more detailed, Liu Hong even divided the few Praetorian Guards who can guarantee loyalty at hand and prepare to distribute them to Su Gu as a personal guard to protect Su Gu's safety.

It wasn't until the sun set in the west that Ye Zhao said goodbye to Liu Hong and prepared to leave the palace.

"Bad guys!" As soon as he left the palace, he saw Liu Wei walking happily all the way to this side.

"Princess, the minister has a name." Ye Zhao looked at the innocent and romantic girl in front of him a little helplessly, the friendship of the girl, since the night of the seventh day of the new year, Ye Zhao has been able to clearly feel it, but this friendship is really unbearable!

"You've been in the palace a lot lately, why didn't you come to me?" Liu Wei asked absently.

Why did I come to you?

Ye Zhao rolled his eyes in his heart, bowed down and said: "The minister has recently had important matters to discuss with His Majesty, so he has come more, as for visiting the princess, although the minister has this heart, but in the land of the North Palace, the foreign minister is not allowed to trespass, and the minister does not dare to exceed the courtesy." ”

Generally speaking, the North Palace is the back / palace, where the women and children of the Son of Heaven live, and even the prince has to move out when he becomes an adult.

Although Liu Hong attaches more importance to Ye Zhao now, if Ye Zhao has nothing to do and runs to Beigong, not to mention that the heart of heaven is unpredictable, he will not be too relieved if he is a man, and after a long time, it is strange that he has no other thoughts in his heart.

"I'm so bored in the palace, the 10,000-year-old lamp is already tired, do you have anything new?" Liu Wei said with a bored face.

No matter how interesting things are, after a long time, they will definitely get tired, not to mention to put it bluntly, the 10,000-year-old lamp is just a paper lamp, and there are potential safety hazards.

Ye Zhao's shops in the city have stopped selling 10,000-year-old lamps, although other shops have sold, but they have accumulated a lot of survival, not to mention losing money, but if you want to say how much you have earned by Ye Zhao's shareholder, it does not exist.

"The qualifications of the ministers, I'm afraid I will have to bear the trust of the princess." Ye Zhao smiled bitterly.

"If you are all Chinese, are there any smart people in this world?" Liu Wei was obviously not satisfied with Ye Zhao's explanation, and pouted.

"Princess, the minister still has official business, so it's inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so I'll leave first." Ye Zhao didn't want to continue to entangle here, let alone with the princess, and at the moment he hadn't thought about whether to get involved with the royal family, even if he wanted to, it wasn't now.

The marriage between himself and Liu Wei is not a simple love between men and women, there are many things involved behind this, and it is also an important political capital, Ye Zhao does not want to waste this political capital at this time, so he will occasionally come to tease, but he will never get too close to Liu Wei.

"Okay, this princess is about to leave the palace." Liu Wei said with a smile.

"This ...... Does Your Majesty agree? Ye Zhao asked.

"When I left the palace, my father never knew." Liu Wei said a little proudly.

"Really?" Liu Hong's voice sounded coldly from behind him, startling Liu Wei.

"Father~" Liu Wei looked at Liu Hong with a little guilt.

"Go ahead, remember to bring more guards." Liu Hong glanced at Ye Zhao with a smile and nodded.

"Resignation." Ye Zhao and Liu Hong glanced at each other, bowed silently, and walked towards the outside of the palace with Liu Wei with an surprised face.
