Chapter 458: The Buying and Selling of the Printing Workshop
This is a signal that Yang Chong's subordinates suddenly occupy positions of real power, which means that Yang Chong will not recruit more magnates in Chang'an; The senior monks of Caotang Temple, Ji Zang and Sun Simiao, were invited out by everyone to meet Yang Chong. When Yang Chong heard the news, he personally went out to greet him, Sun Simiao's immortal wind bones were still the same, and he smiled and said: "Yang Chong, you finally went back to Chang'an, but if you don't enter the city, what's going on?" ”
Yang Chong invited the two of them to sit down in the account, and let people serve good tea and said: "Hangu Pass is not down, it is convenient to handle military affairs in the barracks." If nothing else, what do you want me to do? ”
Sun Simiao sipped tea and said, "You are a shareholder of the medical school, and you will rebuild the medical school." ”
Since Shuai Guozhen left, the conditions of the Daxing medical school have been much worse, after Li Yuan occupied Chang'an, the teachers and students of the medical school were emptied, and the medical school has existed in name only, Sun Simiao is reluctant to have cultivated a pharmacy in the medical school for many years, and the kind of experience accumulated for a long time, so he stayed in Chang'an and waited for an answer. Yang Chong agreed, and asked Sun Simiao to get the original teachers and students back, as long as they were in Chang'an, all departments would let them go; As for the funds, Yang Chong brought the old disabled man and instructed the specific arrangements.
Master Jizang has white hair and a crane face, and the bridge of his nose is towering, seeing Yang Chong so crisply, he said with a happy face: "Guogong swept Guanzhong, there is a tendency to annex Liuhe, it is really a blessing for tens of millions of people, I heard that Guogong has prayed for the people in Taiyuan, and Caotang Temple is willing to help Guogong pray for the people of Guanzhong." ”
Master Jizang, ancestral home rest, common surname An, ancestors to avoid revenge and moved to Guangzhou, later moved to Jinling, under the tutelage of Fa Lang, by Yang Guang's order, successively presided over Yangzhou Huiri Temple, Chang'an Riyan Temple, and in Chang'an to complete the three treatises commentary, founded the three treatises, in Chang'an area has a great influence, Lantian Wuzhen Temple Huiyuan, Chang'an Mausoleum Temple Huihe, Zhongnanshan Yanxing Temple Huiguan and other senior monks are the disciples of Master Jizang.
Master Jizang's request naturally represents a series of temples, hoping that Yang Chong can show an attitude of supporting Buddhism, if Yang Chong doesn't even understand this, then don't get involved; Yang Chonghan said with a smile: "This matter is no problem, I will say hello to the Ministry of Rites, and when the incense is offered in the Caotang Temple, I will go with Cui Shangshu, and I hope that the master will help." ”
Master Jizang smiled with satisfaction, and Sun Simiao looked up at the surroundings of the tent and asked, "What about Daochang Zhang?" ”
Yang Chong suddenly figured out why Sun Simiao, a medical saint, would come forward to socialize, not only for the sake of the medical school, Sun Simiao was also a representative of the Daomen, and when it was inconvenient for Louguandao to come forward, Sun Simiao was duty-bound. Yang Chong smiled and pointed to the tent opposite and said, "The second senior brother has sent seven disciples to help in front of the army, and Guolao is their senior uncle, and he is calling them out." I heard that Qi Hui is still in Zhongnan Mountain, I don't know if Sun Lao has seen him? ”
Sun Simiao smiled bitterly and said, "Since you guessed, why do you still ask me." Li Yuan was so defeated, his life is not comfortable now, the money and the workshop were given to Li Yuan, and most of the disciples who supported Li Yuan in Louguandao were killed in battle, but he couldn't let go of Louguan's foundation, and wanted to ask you a result. ”
Yang Chong's face turned pale and said: "Elder Sun, you also know that at least hundreds of disciples and believers under his command died in the battle with our army, and some even participated in the assassination of me. In this way, I won't ask about the internal affairs of Lou Guan Dao, but Qi Hui wants to hand over the list of people who defected to Li Yuan to the Criminal Department for verification, and publicly publish an article condemning Li Yuan's crimes. ”
Master Jizang and Sun Simiao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't kill people, Qi Hui gave Li Yuan a lethal force, and he deserved some punishment, if he changed someone, I am afraid that it would already be a river of blood; For the future of Lou Guan Dao, the two of them are not worried, with Feng Qiquan, Jiang Duo, and Zhang Guolao, Lou Guan Dao may be more brilliant in the future. Master Jizang asked in a low voice, "Where is Guogong going to send Qi Hui in the confession?" ”
Yang Chong thought about it, asked people to find Wei Yi, and introduced Sun Simiao and the two: "This is Wei Yi, the editor-in-chief of our Chang'an Daily, it turns out that the famous scholars of Chang'an, when I enter the city, Wei Yi will publish the first issue of Chang'an Daily, and Qi Hui's confession and articles will be published in Chang'an Daily." ”
"Chang'an newspaper, the old man doesn't understand." Master Jizang realized that he had encountered something new, and Yang Chong was obsessed with strange things, and everyone knew that he was obsessed with strange things; Wei Yi said with a smile: "Chang'an Daily is a regular publication that mainly publishes news and current affairs commentary, which is equivalent to a private newspaper and can be sent to all parts of the country. The master came just in time to go back and help us publicize which temple wants to print Buddhist scriptures, and we can help print them. ”
Printing Buddhist scriptures? The temple is full of monks and believers copying, unless it is a special need, those printing houses in the city, printing a 5,000-word "Diamond Sutra" costs 120 words, who can stand it. However, Yang Chong sat here, and Master Jizang still understood human feelings, so he humbly asked: "I don't know how to calculate?" ”
Seeing the posture of the old monk preparing to take a knife, Yang Chong and Wei Yi both laughed, and Yang Chong said slowly: "Five hundred books are printed, and one thousand words and ten texts; More than 2,000 books, 1,000 words and 9 texts; More than 10,000 books, 1,000 words and 7 texts; More than 100,000 books, 1,000 words and 5 texts. ”
Master Jizang and Sun Simiao's feeling is that it is cheap, don't print 500 copies of that book, the more other printing houses print, the more expensive it is, Yang Chong printing 100,000 copies here is almost no different from giving it away for nothing. Master Jizang secretly calculated that if more than a dozen temples were added together, any Buddhist scripture could be printed in more than 2,000 copies, and a "Diamond Sutra" was only forty-five texts, which was only equivalent to one-third of the original, so he said with a happy face: "After the old man goes back and settles down, he will come to see Master Wei within three days." ”
Wei Yi could only shake his head, Yang Chong opened eleven paper mills on the side of the Yellow River at once, and after half a year, they all had a production scale, at first Kou Jiuhui was still worried about sales, and when Yang Chong opened a printing workshop and proposed to run a Chang'an newspaper, everyone was dumbfounded. Fortunately, Yang Chong, Li Chunfeng, and Zhang Guolao made a sample magazine in advance, and even the advertisements were placed on it, and finally Wei Yi took over; Now Yang Chong and Yu Qintao's commercial bank workshops have signed 100 agreements to buy advertising space, and there are commissions for the business, which makes Wei Yi feel a lot more at ease.
Waiting for Sun Simiao and the two to go back, Yang Chong and Zhuge Quan immediately pulled out the camp and went to Wuguan, what is Guanzhong, that is, within the "four passes", that is, Dongtong Pass, West Sanguan, South Wuguan, North Xiao Pass, now Tongguan, Sanguan, Xiao Pass in hand, Yang Chong only occupies the southern Wuguan, can be regarded as really occupying Guanzhong, you can make a pot of tea, sit and watch the melee outside the pass.
