Chapter Ninety-Seven: Prestige
The female assassin "intimidated" Han Jian in her own way, leaving an address ten miles outside the city for Han Jian to send people to, and then jumped out of the outer hall through the window. Han Jian ordered the guards to let him go, but the guards did not stop and chase people. Waiting for the female assassin to leave, Han Jian also breathed a sigh of relief, it was not a good thing for a chaotic party to stay in his mansion.
"Jian'er, what's going on?" Han Jian came out of the outer hall and saw Jiuniang Han Zhao coming back from outside. Han Zhao's family went out in the morning and didn't come back until the afternoon, Han Jianxin said that fortunately, Jiuniang didn't know that the female rebel party came here to make trouble, otherwise with Han Zhao's position of being a person, he would definitely not let people go lightly. Maybe he will directly take down the female assassin and hand it over to the empress to justice.
"Jiu Niang, it's okay. A guest just came to see you off, you have been out for so long, haven't you had lunch? I'll have someone prepare a meal for you. Han Jian said with a smile.
Han Zhao frowned slightly, obviously not believing what Han Jian said. She glanced at Zhang Xing and Sima Yi next to her, didn't look into it, and went straight to the inner courtyard. When the others left, Han Jian confessed to Zhang Xing and Sima Yi, ordering them not to leak the matter to Han Zhao's family.
"Young boy, even His Majesty knows about this matter, so you don't plan to sue Princess SΓΉ County?" Sima asked.
"If you don't say it, don't say it, nonsense." Han Jian was still a little impatient in his heart, mainly because there were "spies" around him, and he couldn't figure out who the person who reported to the empress was.
Han Jian didn't plan to stay in the Dongwangfu Courtyard for a long time, and he didn't plan to go to the general office of the listening office to sit on duty, he remembered Gu Xin'er's appointment in the afternoon, and was going to listen to the people's sitting and talking first.
Han Jian was about to go out, and the guards came to report that someone had posted a post. Han Jian saw the post and knew that it was Mrs. Luo who was there in person.
"Xiliang's woman is here again, can we say hello?" Sima asked.
Han Jian said: "See." Yesterday's discussion was in a hurry, and many things were not discussed in detail, and I have to make it clear this time. β
On the issue of Mrs. Luo, Han Jian's position is very clear, since he has accepted Mrs. Luo's family, he must make good use of it. Although it is not yet possible to use the Xiliang Restoration Army behind Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Luo's connections and business channels in the capital must always be used first. The fact that he opened the Three Kingdoms Book Company to Luoyang City has not been implemented, which is an opportunity.
Opening a bookstore, Han Jian was not only out of commercial considerations, but more importantly, the Wei Dynasty did not have strict control over the "publishing industry", and with Han Jian's mind leading hundreds or thousands of years, he could realize how crucial the publishing industry was in controlling public opinion.
Mastering the "mouthpiece" is tantamount to grasping the initiative in the war of public opinion.
Han Jian still met Mrs. Luo in the outer hall, and this time Mrs. Luo did not come with Daxiliu, but brought a shrewd woman who looked like a housekeeper. A businesswoman with a mysterious background like Mrs. Luo will always have eyeliner by her side, and Han Jian thought to himself that probably Mrs. Luo didn't want the people in Xiliang's old department to know that she was now serving the second master with two hearts.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness." When they arrived in the outer hall, only Han Jian and Mrs. Luo were left, and Mrs. Luo leaned over and saluted, as if she meant to kneel. Han Jian grabbed her and didn't let her kneel.
"Madame is gracious." Han Jian's tone carried a bit of the master's majesty, "Sit." β
"His Royal Highness Xie Shao." Mrs. Luo didn't look up at Han Jian, but she didn't rush to sit down in front of the chair next to her, and she didn't sit down a little crampedly until Han Jian sat down. Han Jian could see that most of Mrs. Luo's respectful appearance was disguised, and she might not respect him much in Mrs. Luo's heart, and she was only temporarily forced to surrender.
If you don't stand up, you won't be able to convince the people.
"I heard that the imperial court has rescued the third prince, and the women came to see what else His Royal Highness could send." Mrs. Lowe said directly.
Han Jian heard two meanings from her opening remarks. One is to invite credit, yesterday Mrs. Luo used Yang Yu's hiding place as a condition for surrendering, and then Yang Yu was rescued and should also have the credit of Mrs. Luo's secret help. In the two, Mrs. Luo made a posture of "ready to be dispatched at any time", which was also to show her sincerity.
In fact, Mrs. Luo couldn't think of anything that could help Han Jian, and she couldn't think of what Han Jian needed her to do. She just made a gesture and walked through the motions.
Han Jian thought to himself, this old woman is still quite cunning.
Han Jian said: "This king wants to open a bookstore in the capital, I don't know if my wife may help?" β
"Bookstore?" Mrs. Luo was slightly stunned, she couldn't have imagined that the first thing Han Jian asked her to do was to open a bookstore, there was no movable type printing at the moment, and the books were generally from the official large-scale engraving, and the folk books were mostly handwritten. It is not uncommon to open a book number to sell books at the moment, but it is rare to open a book company to print books.
"Why, Madame can't help?" Han Jian's expression became a little cold.
Mrs. Luo hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness has orders, and the women of the people have obeyed them. I don't know if His Highness opened a bookstore...... Why ......"
Han Jian actually didn't need to explain anything to Mrs. Luo, now he was the master, and Mrs. Luo was the servant. It's just that the two sides have just established this relationship, and Mrs. Luo will definitely have two hearts, and what he has to do is to gradually let Mrs. Luo listen to him wholeheartedly.
"Naturally, the opening of the book company is for the printing of books. I wonder if Mrs. Luo has ever heard of the book Three Kingdoms? β
Mrs. Luo said: "I have heard of it. β
"This book of the Three Kingdoms was printed from my Jiangdu City, I don't think this king needs to say it directly, Mrs. should also know who printed this book, right?"
Mrs. Luo bowed her head respectfully, but her heart was terrified, the world-famous Three Kingdoms was actually printed by this young little county king in front of her? What is the relationship between the original author "Luo Guanzhong" and Dongwang?
Han Jian said: "This time the book bureau is opened, and the main print is not the original work of the Three Kingdoms, but the comic book of the Three Kingdoms. In this respect, the king will not do you any wrong, and you will have a share of the money you earn. β
Mrs. Luo hurriedly said: "Serving His Royal Highness, I don't dare to have any plans." β
"If you don't make money, how can you maintain the huge expenses of the old department of Xiliang?" Han Jian smiled coldly and said, "This king doesn't want you money, he just asks you to help this king do things, and if you do it well, this king will also help you in the future, and everyone will take what they need." β
After Han Jian finished speaking, he was in a hurry to go to Cuiyang Tower to make an appointment, so he asked Sima to greet Mrs. Luo, and he left the Dongwang Mansion.
Han Jian also had a meaning in doing this, letting Mrs. Luo know that he had a shelf. Although he did not like to put the score, in the presence of the Lady Love, he had to put the score, and the master who did not have a frame would not get the trust of the servants. Han Jian is very clear about the truth that people are good and are bullied.
When he arrived at Cuiyang Building, Han Jian originally thought that there should be a lot of young boys and girls gathered here, but when he arrived, he realized that Cuiyang Building was a little deserted. Jing'er and Gu Xin'er both sat at the tea table on the first floor to entertain a few girls in Confucian clothes, looking at this deserted environment, there was no intention of holding a Taoist conference.
Han Jian thought to himself, could it be that it was too late, and it was already over for people to sit and talk about it?
"Xin'er, there's something going on in my house, I'm late, what are you ......doing" Han Jian looked at these fellow teachers and sisters of Gu Xin'er in Cuiyang Building, there were seven or eight people, their appearance was not beautiful but they were also good, everyone was wearing Confucian clothes, they were very clean, and they couldn't tell the good or bad of their family background. It's just that each person was holding a copy of the Three Kingdoms comic book, and a few didn't look up at him even when they heard that a guest was coming.
Gu Xin'er greeted her and said apologetically: "Son, forgive me, we were going to gather here to discuss the Tao, but at noon, I learned that some of our fellow uncles and disciples came from the Shangqing Palace, and the fellow disciples in Luoyang all went over to greet these uncles, and this time the Dao was discussed...... It can only be canceled. β
Han Jian knew that Shangqing Palace was a place of cultivation, just like a "Taoist college", with a fixed holiday of more than a month every year, and at the moment when spring and summer intersected, this time Gu Xin'er went home on vacation to save her relatives. As for what the argument is, it is that some disciples of the Shangqing Palace who are on vacation get together to engage in "holiday activities", and this holiday activity is deviated, mainly because the "gentlemen" in the Shangqing Palace came to Luoyang City for some reason, and some disciples went to welcome Mr.
"Xin'er, why don't you go?" Han Jian asked with a smile.
"If you have an appointment with your son, you have to make it clear." Gu Xin'er smiled shyly and said, "In addition, the uncle and uncle who came here this time are all disciples of our Shangqing Palace Martial Sect, and Xin'er has always disliked those things like dancing with swords and swords. β
Han Jian smiled, Gu Xin'er was a quiet and good girl.
Shangqing Palace is not only a place to teach knowledge and Taoist thought, but also "Wuzong", which is the opening of martial arts. Among the disciples of the Shangqing Palace, there are many people who should be martial arts in each session, this time the imperial court examination, the literary examination has ended, and the next is the martial arts, probably the disciples of the Shangqing Palace Wuzong came to Luoyang in person for the martial arts.
