Chapter 37: New Industries
Jia Jing has opened a lot of bookstores in recent years, named "Xinhua Bookstore" mainly to take the civilian route, small profits but quick turnover, plus Jia Jing casually wrote some Ming and Qing novels such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Jin Moumei", "Three Words and Two Beats", "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", etc., which naturally became an instant hit, and the money earned every day was no less than the dung water business, especially in strange books such as "Golden Vase Plum" and "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", which is why even the girls in Jiafu knew about Diao Chan before.
The entertainment industry in ancient times was still quite developed, even if there were no communication channels in the previous life, the common people still had entertainment projects, Jia Jing hired a few readers who were obviously hopeless in the imperial examination and wanted to make money to support their families as writers, and there were many of them who were quite respected like Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng.
But even if you make money, in fact, it can't be called a sea of gold and silver, at most it barely supports the operation of Jia Jing's huge forces, and the real profitable business Jia Jing knows very well that many novels in his previous life have been written, many of which are whimsical, but many of them are indeed feasible.
For example, cement, sugar, glass, distilled spirits, ice, stoves, honeycomb coal, and so on, some of these things are whimsical or simply don't make that much, and some of them can really make a lot of money, but the problem is ......
Jia Jing won't you......
Although he has a good memory now, he was an extremely partial liberal arts student in his previous life, and he may not be able to score 100 points in mathematics, physics and chemistry combined...... Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen a history major, no, now he can memorize the periodic table of chemical elements, but he can't figure out what the use of being able to memorize the periodic table of chemical elements......
Stoves and honeycomb coal, things that are closely related to his life, he had seen them when he was a child, and he could probably figure out how to do them, but he knew that this thing couldn't make a lot of money with his knees, otherwise wouldn't the first person who made it famous in history?
However, even if it is made, there is a high probability that it will not become his industry, and Jia Jing will not dare to embezzle this kind of money...... He needs money, but more importantly, reputation, he wants to be very big, so money is important, reputation is more important, making money is also for the great cause, you must not give up the basics, don't underestimate the reputation, a sentence "not like a king" can completely cut off his imperial road.
However, after so many years, Jia Jing has really figured out two ideas to make money, so he said with a smile: "I want to cut off those industries that can't see the light, and I've started to run the industries that can see the light in the past few days." Ye Shi said with a smile: "It's good that Gongzi has a number, but he still needs to hurry up to send a signal to His Majesty, that is, although Gongzi is reluctant, he has already begun to prepare industries to support the forces." ”
Jia Jing nodded and said to Qingfeng: "The people in the cadre position can be gradually exposed, you have to control the people in the Kun position." Qingfeng nodded and agreed, Jia Jing had already begun to plan the day when he was going to come out to do things, so from the beginning, it was divided into two groups of secret agents to cultivate, one group of secret agents was a cadre position, that is, people who could be exposed to the surveillance of Emperor Yongxi's blood droplets, and the other group of people were looking for an opportunity to get out and hide in the shadows.
Jia Jing stood up and his eyes were blazing, and he said in a deep voice: "Liangchen, you start doing those things tomorrow, gentlemen, you have been planning for five years, for today!" I also hope that all of you will work together to help me reach the clouds! ”
……
Jia Jing stood aside honestly, holding a towel in his hand, now with his image outside, there are not many people who can make him so honest, Zhou Huan is one.
Zhou Huan is not in Jingyang Palace now, in fact, he is long gone, the emperor has found him a new job, compiling books, Jia Jing doesn't know what kind of book it is, all in all, Zhou Huan is so busy now that he is about to bury himself in a lone ancient book...... In fact, it was arranged for him by the Emperor Taishang, so Zhou Huan and Jia Jing both understood what it meant.
However, Jia Jing didn't take it seriously, even if Zhou Huan was not in Jingyang Palace, he had to hold his thigh to identify this gentleman, and the emperor didn't dare to act too much against him, Emperor Yongxi and Zhou Huan both thought that Emperor Yongxi was ready to help Jia Jing take the throne to fight against Hongzhi's heroes, so he had this action.
Zhou Huan wrote for a while before raising his head, put down the pen in his hand, took the towel handed over by Jia Jing, wiped his hands and said: "People often say words like their people, I see otherwise, I am quite unfamiliar with this way, and I have always written not as good as you." Jia Jing smiled and said, "Sir, this is a disciple of Hanqi." ”
Zhou Huan snorted and said: "Although I don't know this way, I can also see that your words are upright and atmospheric, and you have a fairy spirit, tell me yourself, are you upright?" Jia Jing snorted and whispered, "Disciple...... Kind of a gentleman...... Cease? ”
Jia Jing looked at Zhou Huan's expression and knew that he was about to spray again, but Zhou Huan shook his head and said, "I got another good poem yesterday?" Jia Jing smiled and said: "A work of naughty laughter is difficult to get into the hall of elegance." Zhou Huan smiled and said: "Although I can't write like that, I know that it is the best, but it is ...... That's it, the board was also punished, and kneeling was also punished, so you should know it in your heart. ”
Jia Jing knew that Zhou Huan wanted to tell him what Emperor Yongxi expected of him, and asked him to keep a low profile and avoid causing trouble, so he smiled: "The disciple knows, don't drink again next time." Zhou Huan snorted twice: "This kind of thing can't be avoided...... You don't want to hide, either. ”
Jia Jing nodded silently, and Zhou Huan said again: "You are also old now, did Your Majesty say when you will let you go home?" Jia Jing shook his head, Zhou Huan looked at the ground in a daze, and sighed after a long time: "The world is not going well, and you have to walk by yourself in the future, just remember, you can endure loneliness and keep your original intention, so that you can start and finish well!" ”
Jia Jing looked at Zhou Huan's worried eyes and couldn't help but smile movingly: "Sir, don't worry, although the student is stupid, he still has some knowledge, and he won't end up without a fate." Zhou Huan smiled and nodded, and Jia Jing smiled again: "Speaking of which, there is something I want to do to Mr. Bo to laugh." ”
Jia Jing told Zhou Huan what he heard yesterday about Wang Ziteng being intimidated with a dead dog, and said with a smile: "Wu Kuiyuan, the Duke of Jingguo, is also a hero, I heard that he was also a rare good general when he fought with King Ning, thick and fine, but now it seems that how can he be so stupid and dull?" ”
Zhou Huan shook his head and said: "This is what the teacher just told you, only by not forgetting the original intention, can you start and finish well, in the past, when Wu Kui, the Duke of Jingguo, followed King Ning to fight, all he thought about was how to kill the enemy and how to protect the robe, but now?" ”
Zhou Huan sighed and said, "Gentle Township is a hero's mound!" Wu Kui has been rich and noble for too long, so long that he has forgotten his identity, he may not know what he is doing, but he feels that he has a great credit to the Sheji Heavenly Family and so on, and as long as he maintains his power, the natural Heavenly Family will be jealous! This is blinded by prosperity and wealth! Guilty of seeing and getting into the horns! ”
Zhou Huan looked at Jia Jing and said solemnly: "Don't think that a hero can be a hero for a lifetime!" You have also read history, when you know what a hero Xuanzong was until the Anshi Rebellion and the Tang Dynasty declined from this, it can be seen that the more shrewd you are, the easier it is to enter the obstacle of knowledge, and ...... in the future You must not be like that, but be cautious and sober at all times. ”
Jia Jing pondered for a moment and laughed softly: "Sir, isn't it trying to grind my little family's anger? How can you teach me to be cautious now? Zhou Huan said expressionlessly: "I just think it's too much!" ”
Jia Jing: "......"
Zhou Huan smiled again: "It seems to be a good thing now, at least I can have some insights from the matter of Wu Kui, the Duke of Jingguo, but knowing and doing are two different things, alas, Jing'er, you have always been smart, and you have an idea." Jia Jing stood up and saluted: "Students remember the teachings of Mr. ”
At this moment, Mrs. Zhou's voice came from outside: "Why didn't Jing'er call me when she came?" Zhou Huan shook his head helplessly, Mrs. Zhou came in and looked at Jia Jing with a smile, and immediately went up lovingly and hugged her and stroked her hair: "My son, why did you come and not see me?" What's the point of reading here with your husband, a bad old man? ”
Zhou Huan: "......"
Jia Jing got out of Mrs. Zhou's arms with a dry smile: "I just arrived, and I chatted with my husband for a while, and I was thinking about meeting my wife for a while." "He is fifteen years old, but Mrs. Zhou still hugs and hugs him as soon as he meets him when he is seven or eight years old......
Mrs. Zhou stroked his forehead lovingly and said, "My wife made you your favorite braised duck palm, as well as Huaiyang dishes such as squirrel and osmanthus fish, and I will go over to eat it in a while, and my wife loves to watch you eat the most." ”
"Humph! Mothers are so defeated! ”
Mrs. Zhou turned her head and glared at Zhou Huan, who was jealous but supported with a black face, and Jia Jing also smiled: "I'm afraid it's useless, there have been a lot of things in recent days, and there is a sister from the south in the family, I'm afraid I will have to pick some gifts to send in a while." ”
Mrs. Zhou was a little disappointed when she heard this: "What sister, where did you come from in the south?" Jia Jing said with a smile: "It's a fellow mother, although she grew up in Yangzhou, she is from Suzhou." Mrs. Zhou smiled when she heard this: "Ah, then you have time to bring it to me to see." ”
Jia Jing smiled and nodded, but Zhou Huan pondered for a moment and said, "Is it Lin Ruhai's daughter?" Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this, nodded and said, "It is the daughter of Lord Lianghuai Patrol Salt Imperial Shilin Ruhailin, he is my uncle." Zhou Huan sighed and said: "Lin Ruhai was the same year as me, and I still remember that when he was young, he was also a heroic son of the jade tree in the wind, and the ancestor of the high school Tanhua Lang was three generations of liehous, what a noble person, but now he is ......."
Jia Jing was also silent for a moment, he didn't expect Zhou Huan to have this relationship with Lin Ruhai, Zhou Huan smiled and said: "I also had a relationship with your uncle back then, but I don't know how the old man is now, who didn't envy Lin Ruhai's talent to explore flowers back then, and even married the daughter of Dai Shangong......"
Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows and said, "Ouch! I didn't know you had such dreams! You think very highly of you, and you don't look at other people's good men or not, you are a bad old man! Zhou Huan smiled helplessly: "I didn't participate in the palace examination back then...... Even if you participate, there will never be any delusions, Madame said that these things are done! ”
Jia Jing's stomach hurt with a smile, his nostrils were panting, but his face was still pretending to be serious, Zhou Huan secretly glared at Jia Jing with a righteous face, and then sighed: "Lin Ruhai, Zhenguoshi, you have to care more about Lin Ruhai's orphan girl...... That's it, let your wife prepare some gifts later, and then I will write a sub-word for you to send to her, Lin Ruhai and I are old friends, he is good at seeking the country but clumsy at seeking a career, I can't bear to see what is wrong with his last trace of blood. ”
Jia Jing smiled: "I will convey Mr. Liang's kindness to Sister Lin, she is also my cousin, I will naturally take care of her." Zhou Huan nodded, Jia Jing followed Mrs. Zhou to take the gift and went out.
