39 The Wood of Suffering

Samuel's rebellion came very suddenly, and ended unexpectedly, appearing that morning and almost finishing in the evening

Before many citizens had time to fear, they suddenly realized that the matter was over, which made them wonder about it.

"It's a bit anticlimactic. ”

"Who led this rebellion?"

"Hood also participated, I don't know what punishment will be received, this kid, why can't you think about it. ”

Although it has been quelled, the incident still caused a lot of confusion for Samuel, and people talked about it, and some criminals were rampant because of it, but under the strong pressure of the authorities, this rampant was just after it appeared.

Many people were worried about the soldiers who had participated in the rebellion at the time, and many were resentful.

Those who are angry are those who have nothing to do with themselves or whose relatives and friends have been slaughtered, and those who are worried are the relatives and friends of these rebels.

Everyone lives in this huge city, the circle is so big, and the soldiers always have families.

Samuel is their homeland, but why would these soldiers suddenly rebel in spite of this? Some soldiers claim that they have been bewitched by sorcerers, but no one will believe this kind of words, most people think that the soldiers are just evading their responsibilities, and the most fundamental purpose is actually to get promoted and get rich.

What to do with these soldiers was a difficult problem, and the Samuel family had been arguing about this time recently, and several Samuel, who had disappeared during the rebellion, appeared at the same time, looking like they were all right.

Ironically, however, Gross looks the same, as if it didn't happen.

Is it a compromise between relatives, or is it a political necessity?

Alan didn't say anything about it, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and although it seemed off-putting, it was Samuel's family affair and had nothing to do with him as an outsider.

"So we're basically ready now?" said Allen in the newspaper office, after listening to the businessman's report.

"Yes. The merchant nodded, "The various departments of the newspaper have been formed, and the factories in the city have been found in terms of printing and paper. ”

"In terms of newspaper sales, we can find women and children in the city who don't come to do it, this kind of work is very easy, although it is less profitable, but it is better than not having to earn at all. Alan touched his chin and said, "The source of the information... Have you been in contact with any of the information traffickers in the city?"

The merchant shrugged: "There is contact, but they are now being suppressed by the lord, and the business side has basically stopped." ”

"Don't be in a hurry," Alan reassured, looking at the once empty three-story building, now full of people, he suddenly said, "Let's just form it ourselves." ”

"What?"

"I said, set up the information department directly, and don't have to contact those people. The vague thoughts in Allen's mind became clearer as he spoke: "Why do you want to contact them? Since you have already considered forming an information department in the future, it is better now!"

"However, if you set it up yourself, you won't be able to do much in terms of information for a while. The merchant said hesitantly: "In Samuel, there are no deep-rooted relationships, and there is not much real information to be collected at all, except for those well-known lace materials." ”

"Why can't you collect it?"

"It's a well-known fact that information can be sold for money. ”

"Yes, everyone knows. Alan nodded, then raised an eyebrow: "So we can give him money soon?"

"Give the money?" the merchant was stunned.

"Yes, we can accept the manuscript publicly, someone comes to submit the manuscript, verifies it and chooses whether to publish it or not, and then gives him a manuscript fee. Alan said with great interest: "This verification department is very important, go through the streets to check the information, and at the same time inquire about the news by the way, I have thought of the name, just call the reporter, what do you think?"

"This..."The merchant nodded as if he didn't understand: "I think it's okay, the main thing has never appeared like this before, I don't know how effective it is." ”

"I don't know, so let's try it. Alan waved his hand: "Anyway, even if it's all lace news in the end, it can be sold." ”

"That's right. Businessmen are also more confident in this.

In Qunxing, people attach great importance to information, which can be seen from the birth of the profession of information peddler, and the emergence of newspapers, an information complex, is much more convenient than those information dealers.

Not to mention the low price of one silver coin per copy of the newspaper, which most people in Samuel could afford.

"By the way, the Bards Guild of Silvermoon Street sent an invitation. The merchant patted his forehead at the thought of something, then took out a letter sealed with beeswax from his pocket and handed it to Alan.

"I haven't read the specific content, but the person who sent the letter said that he would roughly invite you to go to Silver Moon Street in half a month to participate in the Bard Festival. ”

"Bard's Extravaganza?" Alan took the invitation, took a cursory look at it, and then wondered, "I haven't been in contact with any members of this organization except for one of their vice presidents at the banquet, how could they think of inviting me?"

"I don't know. The merchant shook his head: "You may be able to open it and take a look, maybe there is a reason written in it." ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Alan decided to listen to the merchant, but just as he was about to make a move, a hearty voice suddenly appeared in his ear and interrupted him: "Hello, Alan. ”

There was no one around, but the voice seemed to ring in his ears - it was the wood of the house, a very special "creature", and Eren was no stranger to it.

"What's wrong with wood?"

He asked, opening the envelope.

"I think you should take care of your dog, it's biting me again. The hearty voice has lost its original heroism at this time, although the voice still gives people a clear and happy feeling, but the tone contains helplessness and depression.

"It's a very impolite dog, and I've said it many times that this house is my body and can't be destroyed casually, but it won't listen at all. ”

"Uh," Alan stopped with his hand holding the invitation and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"You really should take care of it," the merchant made a small report on the side: "It is one thing to quarrel with the wood every now and then, on the other hand, it always disturbs our work, seriously disturbs the security of the newspaper, and when it is said that it still does not listen, it always seems to be strong, and the quarrel cannot be touched, and the fight cannot touch it, and others do not say that they are forbearing, and Hanaris basically walks around it during this time...."

"Is that scary?" said Allen.

During this time, the dog was very honest in front of him, except that he didn't dare to approach, every time he came here, he looked like a quiet "lady", so Alan naturally ignored its "bad" past, and gradually thought it was an honest dog.

But that doesn't seem to be the case?

Before the merchant could speak, the voice of the wood appeared again: "It is still grinding its teeth with my body, I think Alan you should check it out." ”
