Chapter 575: Before the Great Tribulation
This yard covers an area of more than two acres, not big or small, there are eight houses in the yard, two of them are planted in the yard with a well, and a few orange trees are planted, which is quite quiet, when Yan Liqiang left Dijing City last time, there was no such industry under the newspaper, so this yard was undoubtedly purchased by Fang Beidou in the two years after Yan Liqiang left Dijing City.
The house that is used as a warehouse is the few rooms on the lower floor of the yard, and the piles in this yard are all printed and unsold "Han Imperial Times", two years have passed, and now "Han Imperial Times" The circulation of each issue has exceeded 200,000 copies, covering the entire Gyeonggi area, and the scale of the newspaper has grown several times, which can be said to be the first newspaper in the world.
If it was in Yan Liqiang's previous life, the final outcome of these newspapers would be to turn into pulp again, but in the Han Empire, this is too wasteful, this era, but it is an era of relatively closed news, the newspapers in the imperial capital, as well as those news content articles in the newspapers, may be outdated in the imperial capital and cannot be sold, but if they are transported to other states and counties far away from the imperial capital, even if it has been a year and a half, there will still be many people who buy and read it, thinking that it is rare and fresh, so the old newspapers in the courtyard room that Yan Liqiang guards cannot be soldIn the end, there will still be some merchants who will come to buy it and take it to a farther place to sell it, of course, at this time, the purchase price will be much cheaper, and the newspaper will also be profitable, which is much better than turning into garbage and pulp.
During the day, the old newspapers that can't be sold will be received in the warehouse, and there will be merchants who will pick up the goods and buy the old newspapers in bundles, all of which are in charge of a special person, and there is no need for Yan Liqiang to worry about it, so Yan Liqiang has nothing to do during the day, only at night, everyone else in the yard is gone, and after work, it stands to reason that it is the time for Yan Liqiang to take up his post, but at night, except for Fang Beidou who occasionally stops by to take a look, there will basically be no one here to check the post, Yan Liqiang is still free, this post, this job, has also become Yan Liqiang's best cover in the imperial capital, it is simply too suitable。
It used to be an old man who was guarding here, but that old man was old and was transferred to the distribution point in the city by Fang Beidou for a reason to do easier work, so only Yan Liqiang was left here.
After coming here for two days, Yan Liqiang practiced alone in the courtyard at night, and left the courtyard during the day to wander around outside the imperial capital, and gradually had an eyebrow and plan for what to do in his heart.
In a place like Dijing City, for people who are involved in the whirlpool of power, it is frightening step by step, killing machines everywhere, and if you are not careful, you may break your bones and destroy your family, which is dangerous and unimaginable to outsiders, but for the "ordinary people" like Wang Silgen, who is now played by Yan Liqiang, who is mixed at the bottom, guarding the warehouse, fighting with the world, and just seeking a mouthful of food and clothing, it is calm, and there are flowers everywhere.
The backer of "Han Imperial Times" is the emperor, in this imperial capital, ordinary gangsters and even officials in the imperial capital do not dare to find trouble with the newspaper at will, so Yan Liqiang stays here, and no one pays attention to it, if Yan Liqiang doesn't do anything, I'm afraid that even if he dies here, few people will know that there is a person named Wang Dugen guarding this courtyard.
However, others may not be able to remember who Wang Dugen is, but this name has been lingering in Fang Beidou's mind for the past few days, and Fang Beidou has to pretend that everything is normal on the surface.
Finally, after Yan Liqiang came to this courtyard and guarded the warehouse for four days, it was getting dark, and Fang Beidou, who came down from Longqi Mountain, came to this courtyard to see the situation here.
The birds that were sentinels in the trees outside the yard were chirping, and when they heard someone knocking on the door outside the yard, Yan Liqiang, who was practicing under the orange tree, already knew that Fang Beidou was coming, he tidied up his clothes, came to the door unhurriedly, and pretended to look outside through the crack in the door, and then hurriedly opened the door for Fang Beidou.
"Silly Gen has seen Shopkeeper Fang!" Yan Liqiang looked sincerely frightened.
Fang Beidou's eyes looked at Yan Liqiang from head to toe, and nodded, "Ahem...... Silly root, are you still used to being here these two days, I'm here today to have a look......"
"Habit, get used to it, it's much better than the Chase shop I lived in when I first came......" Yan Liqiang smiled honestly, and invited Fang Beidou in, Fang Beidou's coachman and the luxurious four-wheeled carriage were guarding outside, and they didn't come in, and it was Xu Enda's brother Xiao Wu who drove the car for Fang Beidou, who hadn't seen him for two years, Xiao Wu's body had grown a lot, he looked like a hardcover, and he still had a knife on his waist.
"Open up a few storerooms and I'll take a look at ......"
"Okay, good......" Yan Liqiang took a bunch of keys, walked in front, unlocked the door of a room that was used as a warehouse, and entered the warehouse with Fang Beidou.
The warehouse is stacked with stacks of bundles of newspapers, and the whole room is filled with a strange smell, which is a special ink fragrance mixed with the insect-proof herb and the medicine bag of mugwort leaves, which is not unpleasant, but has a quiet feeling, because this is a warehouse, it was stolen and fired, so the windows outside the room are sealed, only the windows on the wall near the courtyard are open, and it can be regarded as a quiet place.
"Pay attention when you sleep at night, you can't catch fire here, and pay attention to insect prevention, the insect prevention medicine bag hanging on the pillar has to be changed every two months......" Fang Beidou said absentmindedly while walking among the piles of newspapers, but he was thinking about how to open his mouth not abruptly, after all, this time, Yan Liqiang did not say what was going on in the flying letter, but just asked him to arrange people, which made Fang Beidou even more curious......
"Okay, I remember what Shopkeeper Fang said!"
Hearing this voice from beside him, Fang Beidou's body froze suddenly, and the whole person was as if someone had used a fixation technique, this was not a stupid voice, but Yan Liqiang's voice, which sounded serious, but when it fell in Fang Beidou's ears, he felt that there was a humorous and lazy taste in it.
Fang Beidou turned his neck with difficulty, looking at the face of the stupid root who was a step behind him and walking next to him.
Silly root is still silly root, but the smile on that face, at this moment, makes Fang Beidou have a feeling of itchy teeth, Fang Beidou can't forget such a smile, because the last time he saw this smile, he was bare-assed, shouting Cuihua I love you, running around the imperial capital, that day was like going around hell and reincarnating as a human again.
"Yes...... It's you who ......" Fang Beidou's throat was dry, his eyes were straight, and he couldn't speak.
"It's me!" Yan Liqiang nodded, "Ahem...... Cough...... I haven't seen you for a long time, but Shopkeeper Fang is living a very nourishing life in Imperial Capital City!"
Fang Beidou glanced at Yan Liqiang twice, and suddenly didn't say a word, and slapped directly at Yan Liqiang's chest with a palm, as fast as electricity......
The smile on Yan Liqiang's face remained unchanged, but when Fang Beidou's palm was about to slap his chest, he gently stretched out his hand and pressed it against Fang Beidou's cold palm.
It's just that as soon as the two palms touched, Fang Beidou felt that his palm strength was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no trace in an instant.
Fang Beidou closed his palms, glared at him, and his voice trembled a little, "It's really you?"
"Of course it's me!" Yan Liqiang nodded.
"Why are you here?"
"Of course, I'm here to fulfill the agreement I made with you!" Yan Liqiang sighed and said quietly, "If I don't come again, when the Heavenly Tribulation comes, I don't know how many people in this Imperial Capital City will be able to escape......"
Fang Beidou's face also changed suddenly, and his whole spirit was shocked, "What do you want me to do?"
"You don't have to do anything, just prepare for the newspaper to be published when the time comes!"
"You want to write something?"
Yan Liqiang glared at him, pointed to his nose and asked, "Do you think I'm young now?"
Fang Beidou nodded......
"So I want to live a few more years, and do you think anyone will believe what I write?"
"So what?"
"Haha, mountain people have their own tricks......"
