……
The first year of Chengtian, June 1.
The supply of war horses was in place, and the cavalry training began.
But......
He doesn't need Wu Fan to do it himself, all he wants to do is to watch, and occasionally spur the soldiers.
Gao Ying, the former secretary of the military department, really has a few brushes, and in terms of cavalry training alone, he far surpasses Wu Fan.
With Gao Ying in charge, plus the assistance of hundreds of warriors borrowed from the Xianbei tribe of Yuwen Chengdu, Wu Fan didn't need to show his half-baked level, and stared at it honestly.
However, Fan Zeng, who had been pondering "Hundred Family Names" for a long time, finally came up with the result to see Wu Fan.
"Yang Wang Cui Li, Zheng Yuan Luo Qiu ......"
Wu Fan sat on the platform, his eyes staring at the book in his hand, his expression constantly changing.
Mr. Fan Da is holding a teacup, and the old god is there.
Wu Fan said to himself: "The surname Yang is in the first place, and there is no dispute about it. Counting down, it should be five surnames and seven looks. According to the strength of each family, Qinghe Cui's, Taiyuan Wang's, Boling Cui's, Zhaojun Li's, Longxi Li's, Xingyang Zheng's, and Fanyang's Lu Clan. Among them, the Fan Yang Lu family, which is at the end of the ranking, is basically equivalent to the same name as the real death, and the Xingyang Zheng family returned to the ancestral land, repaired the great injury, and also fell into the ranks of the top giants early...... Gee! Now put the Taiyuan Wang family in front of the two Cui clans, and put the Xingyang Zheng clan in front of the Bohai Yuan clan, the Beiping Luo clan, and the Yingchuan Qiu clan. Who escaped fame and fortune through the ages? ”
Mr. Fan Da said quietly: "Seven sects and five surnames, the world's families, and the nobles...... A small copy of "Hundred Family Names". But it can foresee the turmoil that will disturb the world! ”
Wu Fan grinned and smiled brightly. Nor answered.
Mr. Fan pursed his lips and tilted his head to look at Wu Fan. Said: "Lord! When I was looking into the details of these families, I made an unexpected discovery. ”
"Oh?"
Wu Fan was shocked and waited for Fan Zeng's words.
Fan Zeng pointed to the sky and asked, "Does the lord know whose name Emperor Gaozu borrowed at the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty?" ”
Wu Fan frowned, thought for a long time to no avail, shook his head and said, "I really haven't heard of it!" ”
Mr. Fan Da said: "Hongnong Yang's!" ”
Fan Zeng added: "Emperor Gaozu is just a disciple of the Han Sect, relying on his own talents. Work hard all the way to achieve a high position. married his daughter to Emperor Jin Xian, and Emperor Gaozu became the national abbot and the third duke...... Later, Emperor Jin Xian died violently, and there were no heirs, and the vassal kings of various places fought for the throne. When natural disasters are repeated, the people are not happy, and the resentment is boiling, Emperor Gaozu rose up and played the banner of Hongnong Yang's banner! ”
Wu Fan took a deep breath, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
Hongnong Yang has a long heritage. It is almost the oldest family in the world, and there is probably no one of them.
As early as the Han Dynasty 500 years ago, the Hongnong Yang family had the glory of the fifth and third dukes, and the Bohai Yuan family was the fourth and third dukes of glory.
The Dong Wei Dynasty was established. Hongnong Yang's support for the right person, and there was another three generations and three princes of Lianzhuang, which was extremely prominent.
In the end, it has to be said that it is booming and declining. Dong III played with fire and attacked the family of scholars. Hongnong Yang's decision-making mistakes. chose Mingzhe to protect himself from offending people at both ends, and the consequence was that the Sima family was on top. Weaken them again and again.
Waiting for a turning point in the middle of the Jin Dynasty, the Hongnong Yang clan, which had been in decline for many years, came back to the third grand occasion and made a fourth and third duke.
In other words.
In the five hundred years from the Han Dynasty to the present, the Hongnong Yang clan has not been scattered, and there have been three consecutive appearances of the three public officials!
Three Princes!
What kind of identity?
Although the previous dynasties are different, and although the empire has never set up three dukes, the status of Yang Su, the hussar general known as the three god generals of the empire, is even slightly inferior, and it is not as good as his ancestors.
The only person who can compete with the position of the Three Princes today in the Great Sui is the general hanging by the backer king Yang Yunfei, and nothing else.
In the last hundred years of the Jin Dynasty, what Longxi Li clan, what Zhaojun Li clan, what Boling Cui clan, what Qinghe Cui clan, and what Taiyuan Wang clan were not the opponents of Hongnong Yang!
Can......
Why did Hongnong Yang never rank among the five surnames and seven wangs?
Hearing Fan Zeng's words, Wu Fan finally understood a lot.
Emperor Gaozu fought the world and felt that his identity was not enough, so he borrowed the archway of Hongnong Yang.
Emperor Gaozu successfully sat on the throne and ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
So!
Emperor Gaozu claimed to be a member of the Hongnong Yang clan, and there was a dirty problem.
To put it simply, this world, whether it is Emperor Gaozu's surname Yang or Hongnong Yang's!
How could Emperor Gaozu share the world with the Hongnong Yang family, and not suppress the Hongnong Yang family......
Mr. Fan Da leaned on the rattan chair, basking in the sun, closed his eyes and said: "The Son of Heaven can become a great unification, and the lord has contributed a lot, and the Hongnong Yang family has contributed a lot!" ”
Fan Zeng's words stopped at the point.
Wu Fan understood what Fan Zeng meant, it was nothing more than that he was suspected of picking Hongnong Yang's peaches, and the two sides had already formed a rift.
Wu Fan blinked his eyes and asked, "What time?" ”
Mr. Fan Da said: "At least we have to wait for the other families to be weakened by the imperial power, and the Hongnong Yang family is outstanding." ”
Mr. Fan Da said meaningfully: "Two Yangs, who is the longest?" ”
Wu Fan couldn't stop laughing.
……
……
The first year of Chengtian, June 2.
Throwing aside the triviality, Wu Fan went to the mansion of the eldest princess of Dangyang.
Yang Qingwei sent someone to summon the news, saying that the development of new paper had achieved results, and asked what to do next, Wu Fan could not slack off.
Arrived in a hurry, just as soon as we met.
When the eldest princess of Yang pinched her nose, her eyes couldn't see the black, and muttered, "Stinky to death!" Stinks to death! ”
Wu Fan was embarrassed, standing on the threshold, neither entering nor exiting.
didn't treat Wu Fan as an outsider, Yang Qingwei immediately ordered someone to cook bath soup for Wu Fan and prepare clean clothes.
Wu Fan cleaned up and talked with the eldest princess of Dangyang depressedly.
Yang Qingwei took out three stacks of paper and showed them to Wu Fan, and said, "According to the recipe you gave." Raw Xuan, Semi-cooked Xuan, Cooked Xuan, three kinds of paper. It's all here! ”
Wu Fan watched carefully and asked, "The skin is like an egg membrane." Firm as jade, thin and smooth...... Very good! Have you tried it? ”
The eldest princess of Dangyang smiled like a flower: "Naturally! In terms of material, it is not a little more white than the old paper, and it is not as brittle as the old paper, and the preservation is also much higher than the old paper! In terms of calligraphy and painting, Shengxuan is suitable for writing, familiar Xuan is suitable for painting, and the ink dripping on the paper will not be shaded/wet, which is far better than the old paper! In terms of cost, it is necessary to save about 20%! ”
Yang Qingwei looked very excited. The eyes flashed with golden light.
"Dangdangdang......
Wu Fan knocked on the table in front of him, and he couldn't open his mouth.
Good for a while.
Wu Fan said: "Don't open a paper mill around Luoyang, go to Donglai County, Qingzhou, and be protected by the old prince." ”
Dangyang eldest princess didn't ask why, and listened quietly.
Wu Fan continued: "You go to Ziwei Palace and mention a few words to His Majesty, just like the roasted tea business, and the paper business is also named in Shaofu Temple. ”
Wu Fan pointed to himself and said, "Profit." I want two percent, you divide three percent, Shaofu Temple four percent, and Xianwang His Royal Highness one percent. ”
Yang Qingwei showed displeasure and snorted: "Why let Yang Jie take advantage? ”
Wu Fan said casually: "You know a fart!" ”
When the eldest princess of Dangyang pouted aggrievedly, she stopped squeaking.
Wu Fan rubbed his eyebrows, and then said: "The formula for papermaking." Strictly keep it secret, whoever dares to circulate it will be killed. This is a more lucrative game than the roasted tea business! ”
As if the eldest princess of Yang remembered something, she said, "The method of roasting tea." It's been leaked! Many other tea shops have begun to be transformed into the same ...... as ours."
Wu Fan interrupted the words of the eldest princess of Dangyang. said: "You don't have to worry about it, let Shaofu Temple have a headache, anyway, they are taking the big head!" ”
Reaching out to pick up the brush, Wu Fan wrote a lot of things on the new paper.
Blowing dry the ink, Wu Fan said: "If you have a heart, you might as well get these out." ”
Yang Qingwei's eyes swept away: "Dongting Biluochun, Huangshan Maofeng, Lushan Yunwu ......"
Wu Fan said with a smile: "Different regions have different tastes of tea. Similar to the one we use now, it is nothing more than a common common color. In these places where I have written to you, there are a small number of tea trees. Rare things are expensive, and they are sold for several times or dozens of times as famous tea. ”
When the eldest princess of Yang was very happy, she was about to pounce on someone Wu when she came up.
Wu Fan put one hand on Yang Qingwei's forehead, so that she couldn't move an inch, and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, please respect yourself!" ”
When the eldest princess of Dangyang pouted unhappily, she sat back down.
Wu Fan thought for a while and said: "The paper mill is set up in Qingzhou, and the raw materials are all there, so you can do it vigorously, and you can produce as much as you can, and replace the old paper market as much as possible." ”
Yang Qingwei asked: "How many pieces do you want?" ”
Wu Fan raised his eyelids and said, "Three months!" The price of new paper is set at about seventy percent of the price of old paper, with small profits and quick turnover, so that the people of the entire empire can afford to buy it, and directly squeeze out the old paper. ”
The eldest princess of Dangyang had no objection, and her jaw head agreed.
Whether it is the roasted tea business or the current paper business, the most important thing is not the quality, not the cost, not the reputation, not the price, but the monopoly business model of it!
Yang Qingwei has a talent for business, and she knows this very well.
The market for new paper to replace old paper, so as to dominate the business of the whole world, does not make much money than raising the price.
Wu Fan yawned and said, "You have time to make new teas, and then let Xianwang Tong Guò make a wide range of friends in Shilin, on the one hand, raise the price of these new teas, and on the other hand, build momentum for the new paper to flow into the market...... Didn't you ask me, why did the new paper business have to be distributed to Wang Yicheng? Here's why! Alright! I have to go home and see, Shuxian has ten days and a half months to give birth again. ”
Wu Fan's combination punch for the family of scholars, papermaking is only the first step, and the rest needs to be done little by little.
Like movable type printing?
Like enlightenment books?
For example, public opinion newspapers?
Maybe it won't succeed, at least Wu Fan firmly believes that he will definitely be able to give those arrogant family members a smash in the face, and let them be confused for a while!
