17 Wang Yaobei went to visit Coats Chen Shunan came to worship Shuping
Wang Heng's amazing talent at the Zhengdan banquet also gave him a lot of benefits, the most realistic point is that Wang Heng's constraints on him are more relaxed, basically do not interfere with what he does, and his homework has also been changed to a five-day inspection, which gives Wang Heng more time to do his own things, of course, Wang Heng's soul is an adult who has a clear plan for his future, so he will not abandon his studies because of his father's relaxation, he still insists on practicing literature and martial arts every day.
On the third day of the junior high school, Wang Yao brought the things given to him by Wang Heng, as well as more than a dozen jars of wine, and took more than a dozen elite servants led by Zhao Hu to set foot on the road to the north.
This time, he not only wanted to invite Zheng Xuan to Jingzhou, but also went to the homes of those celebrities who were good friends with Wang Heng, and gave them a few copies of each of the printed books, which was also given to him by Wang Heng.
Wang Heng also very much agrees with Wang Heng's move, he knows that as long as these books are delivered to the hands of these celebrities, they will definitely take the initiative to help Wang Heng become famous, in this era, reputation is the most important thing for a scholar, with fame there is a future, as a father, of course, he has to do his best to plan for his son's future.
Wang Heng seems to have seen the scene of Wang Heng's fame all over the world.
In addition, Wang Ei also sent people to Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Han Ji, Liu Xian and other local celebrities in Jingzhou to send a few books, and let people say that this is Wang Heng's doing, these Benzhou celebrities once refused Wang Heng's expedition, Wang Heng sent books to them, with a kind of showing off his son, for Wang Heng's fame, but also let these people change their impression of the Wang family, maybe the next time Wang Heng goes to conquer again, they will not refuse.
Wang Heng himself came to the door and sent a lot of books to Zhang Ji and Huanjie, most of them were classics, and in addition to these classics, there were also some medical classics such as "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", which Wang Heng found in his own collection.
These books naturally made Zhang and Huan overjoyed, their impression of Wang Heng was getting better and better, and their relationship with Wang Heng was getting closer and closer.
And for Huang Zhong, when Wang Heng also went to him to practice martial arts in the early hours of one morning, he brought him a few military books handed down by his family, these military books are very precious, although Huang Zhong has also read some military books, but these books have not been read, so he is also very excited when he sees these books, but he is a person who is not light on the outside even if he has feelings, so he didn't say anything, and after taking the military book, he began to urge Wang Heng to practice martial arts.
**********
On the afternoon of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wang Heng was reading the military book in his study, and a righteous man named Yao Gang came to report, and several people outside asked to see Wang Heng, and they said that they were sent by Lin Bin.
When Wang Heng heard this, he asked Yao Gang to invite those people in.
Not long after, Yao Gang led a few people in, these people were all around twenty years old, one by one looked heroic, as soon as they came in, they bowed to the ground and saluted Wang Heng.
Wang Heng waited for them to finish the salute, and said lightly: "You don't need to make this big salute." ”
Only then did a few people get up, knelt down on the seat, and one of the leaders said to Wang Heng: "Childe, I and a few others were sent by Mr. Lin to deliver news between Mr. Lin and Gongzi in Hanshou City." In the future, the son has orders, and we will do everything. ”
Wang Heng knew that these people should be the elite of the remnants of the Wuling Han people that Lin Bin said, and since Lin Bin had already surrendered to him, they could be regarded as his subordinates. He nodded, asking for the names of several people.
The young man at the head said: "Childe, my name is Chen Shu, this is Fan Jun, this is Bai Yi, and this is Han Da." ”
Wang Heng asked, "Then do you live with me in Hanshou City, or do you have another place to live?" ”
Chen Shu said: "We will open a branch of the Jiangling Tongjiang business in Hanshou City, Fan Jun and Bai Yi and I will preside over the business, and Han Da will follow Gongzi, and if Gongzi needs to pass on any news, he can let him go to us." ”
Wang Heng's face showed a different color: "Tongjiang business? Is it your property? ”
No wonder Wang Heng was surprised, the name of the Tongjiang business was even heard of by him, this is one of the largest business names in Jiangling and even in the whole of Jingzhou, relying on the superior geographical location of Jiangling near the Yangtze River and communicating the north and south, the business of the Tongjiang business is very large, there are dozens of large merchant ships of more than 500 stones, there are branches in many big cities, and there are no less than thousands of people employed, although it is not one of the largest businesses in the entire Han Dynasty, but the reputation in Jingzhou is still very great.
Some time ago, Wang Sheng cooperated with the Tongjiang firm to sell Wuling spring wine to the more prosperous north, and Wang Heng also had the intention to move, but before he could put it into action, he now learned that the Tongjiang firm was actually the property of the remnants of the Wuling Han people.
However, this is not unusual, there are many talents among the Han people, and there is naturally no shortage of talents with business acumen, coupled with their accumulation for so many years, in recent decades, they are still thinking and moving, and they are determined to forge ahead, and earning such an industry is also the proper meaning of the question.
Chen Shu replied respectfully: "Son, Chen Xi, the current proprietor of Tongjiang Firm, is my father!" ”
Wang Heng noticed that Chen Shu had no smug look on his face when he said this, and couldn't help but nod secretly, this Chen Shu is not arrogant or impatient, with a calm temperament, he can be called a talent, it seems that there are not a few such talents among the Han remnants in the four counties of Jingnan!
Wang Heng nodded and said, "Chen Shu, how is the situation of Ou Xing now?" What's going on? ”
Chen Shu said: "Ou Xing has been recruiting troops recently, and he is ready to move, but there are not too many Han remnants and barbarian cottages who are willing to respond to him, so in a short period of time, Ou Xing has not been able to cause trouble." ”
Wang Heng said: "You also have the credit for this, right?" ”
Chen Shu said: "The main credit is Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin has a very high prestige among the Han remnants and barbarian cottages in the four counties of Jingnan, and he has not made a clear statement now, and many people are also waiting." ”
Wang Heng nodded and said, "It's okay to maintain such an attitude now, don't let Ou Xing lose hope too early and let him take risks." We still need time to prepare! ”
Chen Shu nodded respectfully and said, "No!" ”
Wang Heng smiled and said, "Chen Shu, since the Tongjiang business name is your industry, then I have something to borrow from your business name." ”
Chen Shu said: "But what about Wuling spring wine and printing books? ”
Wang Heng nodded approvingly and said, "Sure enough, you have a business mind!" ”
Chen Shu's eyes flashed with admiration: "Recently, these two things have been the most spread in Wuling County and even Jingzhou City, and it will not be long before the reputation of these two things will spread to Luoyang." Childe is really talented! ”
Luoyang is the current capital of the Han Dynasty, where it is the economic and cultural center of the Han Dynasty, dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, literati and celebrities gathered, if Wang Heng's reputation can be spread to Luoyang, it can be regarded as famous in the world.
Wang Heng's face was not colorful, he just nodded noncommittally.
Chen Shu said again: "As long as these two things are managed properly, they can make huge profits." For example, if you put it in the Luoyang branch of the Tongjiang business name for sale, Wuling spring wine can be sold for a high price of more than 100,000 yuan, and printed books can also be sold for more than 1,000 yuan. ”
Wang Heng said: "One hundred thousand dollars? ”
Chen Shu said: "Exactly, Wuling Spring Wine is unparalleled in the world, in Wuling can still be sold at a price of 50,000 yuan, Luoyang's dignitaries, rich businessmen and giants are not only ten times or a hundred times that of Wuling, they all have huge family assets, and they spend a lot of money without changing their faces, 100,000 yuan is a huge amount of money for the people of Qianshou, but for them, it is nothing at all." Besides, there are too many rich people in Luoyang, and Wuling spring wine has been transported all the way to Luoyang, and it is impossible for every rich person to enjoy it no matter what. ”
Chen Shu talked eloquently, and it could be seen that he was indeed a very business-minded person.
Wang Heng waited for Chen Shu to finish speaking, and then nodded after a little hesitation: "Yes, these two things will be handed over to your Tongjiang firm to sell with full authority, if your appearance is good, if there are any new things in the future, they can also be handed over to you." ”
Wang Heng's cheerfulness made Chen Shu overjoyed, and he bowed down to the ground and said, "Gongzi Xie is generous!" Tongjiang firm will do its best to help Gongzi! ”
No wonder Chen Shu is so happy, Wuling spring wine and printed books are two things that are unique in the world today, but the market is huge, it can be said that no matter how many goods are purchased, in the face of the huge market of Dahan, there is only a shortage of supply, just like Chen Shu said that things are rare and expensive, and the pricing power of these two things is completely in the hands of Tongjiang Firm, it is conceivable that with these two things, Tongjiang Firm will profit.
More importantly, with these two exclusive products, Tongjiang Firm will become famous, and it will gain access to network resources that are difficult to estimate, and Tongjiang Firm will definitely take this opportunity to soar from the stage of Jingzhou to the big stage of the whole country and become a commercial giant of the Han Dynasty.
Chen Shu is the most business-minded rising star among the new generation of Wuling relics, of course he can see such a prospect, just think, how can he not be happy?
Wang Heng said lightly: "As long as you do things well, I will never treat you badly!" ”
Wang Heng's words made several people shake, and they bowed down to him deeply.
After talking for a while, Chen Shu and the others took the initiative to leave, leaving Han Da alone, and he would follow Wang Heng.
Wang Heng casually asked Han Da's age and table character, and Han Da respectfully replied that he was eighteen years old this year, and there was a table character Zhongtong.
Wang Heng compared Han Da's knowledge again, and the result surprised him, Han Da has learned a lot of Confucian classics, the article is well written, and there is also some research in arithmetic, Wang Heng happens to lack such a person around him, the most in the assassination of the history of the mansion is the righteous servant, they use their fists and feet to run errands are good hands, but when it comes to writing work, it is not very good, and the servants in the house have not read anything, although after coming to Jingzhou, Wang Heng also let the young slaves in the house start reading, but the time is still short, and it is useless, Therefore, a lot of writing work needs to be completed by Wang Heng himself, which is a waste of his time, and now that Han Da is here, he can share a lot of Wang Heng's writing work and reduce his workload.
After some inquiry, after preliminarily determining that Han Da was still a pure-hearted young man, Wang Heng preliminarily recognized him. Wang Heng was also quite satisfied with Lin Bin's arrangement, but he didn't expect that Lin Bin, a scheming person, would arrange to follow him with such a simple young man, which can be regarded as his favor.
So, Han Da served as Wang Heng's "secretary".
Maybe it's funny, a thirteen-year-old child like Wang Heng needs a secretary, but Wang Heng is different from ordinary children, he bears a study and workload equal to several ordinary adults, and he really needs a secretary to share the pressure.
Han Da didn't expect that he would be entrusted with such a heavy task by Wang Heng as soon as he came, he was actually Lin Bin's nephew, before coming, Lin Bin said to him that he must behave well in front of Wang Heng, do more things and talk less, and strive to become Wang Heng's henchman, if he can succeed, his future future is limitless.
When Wang Heng tested him just now, Han Da was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly, he originally thought that his appearance was very poor and he would not be valued by Wang Heng, but he didn't expect that Wang Heng would recognize him so quickly.
Although Wang Heng was only thirteen years old, before he came, Lin Bin told Han Daqian not to despise Wang Heng because of his young age, to treat him with respect like a real monarch, and to be absolutely loyal, remember to keep his mouth shut, even if Han Da's parents and Lin Bin, his uncle, want to ask Han Da about Wang Heng's situation, they must not leak it out.
If Han Da respected Wang Heng at the beginning because of Lin Bin's words, after Wang Heng tested his knowledge, he no longer dared to have any contempt for Wang Heng from the bottom of his heart, because every word Wang Heng asked him asked about the key points, and he was meticulous in thinking, especially in arithmetic, Han Da was sure that even the old master who taught himself arithmetic and had the deepest arithmetic attainments among the remnants of the Wuling Han people was only at the level of Mengtong in front of Wang Heng.
Wang Heng called Yao Gang and asked him to arrange Han Da's residence, and then threw Han Da a few books, Han Da took it and looked at it, several of them were classics he had not studied, and one was an arithmetic book that he had never seen, although this book was not thick, but the depth of the arithmetic content in it was something that Han Da had never dreamed of.
Wang Heng said: "I wrote this book myself. You can read these books by yourself when you have free time, and you can ask me if you don't understand something. ”
Han Da bowed deeply again, he knew how precious these books were, especially the arithmetic book compiled by Wang Heng himself, if he took it out, he would definitely be robbed of his head and bleed, but Wang Heng just handed it over to himself.
"Thank you Gongzi for your grace!"
With Han Da as a secretary, Wang Heng is indeed a lot easier, and he also has more time to do his own things.
In the afternoon of that day, Wang Heng made an appointment to go to Huang Zhong's barracks to see the training situation, and after lunch and a short rest, Wang Heng took Yao Gang and other righteous servants to the barracks.
The military camp of the Jingzhou state soldiers was located in the east of the city, and the area was very large, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of troops.
Before Wang Rong came to Jingzhou to take office, the Jingzhou state soldiers were not able to be formed at all, and the military camp was also in disrepair and very dilapidated, until Huang Zhong enlisted as the Jingzhou soldier Cao Cheng, under his auspices, the Jingzhou state soldiers began to be formed, and the military camp was also renovated, and the current military camp has been completely new.
When Wang Heng and the others came to the barracks, Huang Zhong was already waiting outside the gate.
Seeing Wang Heng coming, Huang Zhong saluted him and led them into the barracks.
Today, Huang Zhong is fully armored, his posture is straight, and he has a majestic style, Wang Heng can't help but secretly admire when he follows, Huang Zhong is really a natural general.
Not far from entering the barracks, there was a huge school field, which was flattened and leveled, and now thousands of sergeants were standing on it practicing the formation.
Huang Zhong introduced to Wang Heng: "Childe, here are the five thousand elite soldiers we recruited in advance, and now they can practice the military formation. During this time, another 5,000 weaker soldiers were recruited, and the officers led the training queue in the East Campus. ”
Huang Zhong took Wang Heng and his entourage to the Dianjiangtai at the north end of the school field, and then made a gesture, a military commander on the Dianjiangtai waved a flag, and saw an officer under the stage begin to direct the soldiers to practice.
Wang Heng fixed his eyes and saw that this officer was none other than Zhao Chou, who had already served as a lieutenant after he was transferred to the army.
With the command of the officers, the pikemen at the front of the phalanx stabbed their spears forward one after another, the movements were strong and powerful, and then, the crossbowmen in the back were divided into three rows, and shot arrows at the straw man targets that had been preset in three sections, only to see rows of dense arrows overwhelmingly across the sky like enraged hornets, pounced on those targets, and shot these like hedgehogs, and these crossbowmen shot in a row and rose again, without any interruption, the arrows covered the clouds and the sun, and the scene was very shocking.
Although Wang Heng has read a lot of the art of war, he has not seen the actual war scene with his own eyes, and seeing this drill today also made him feel eye-opening, which also gave him some concept of war in the era of cold weapons.
Can you imagine the tragic consequences if these arrows were fired at the human body.
Wang Heng sighed with emotion, in this era of cold weapons, the crossbow, which represents the highest technology in this era, is indeed the most efficient killing weapon.
