"Pass on the order of the governor and strictly order the officers and men in the army to dare to harass the people. If anyone kills or takes something, he will be beheaded, and he will not be spared! ”

On a sand dune outside Jiangling City, Lu Meng, who was waiting for news from Fu Shiren, after hearing the final conditions proposed by Mi Fang, remembered that he had been in Jingzhou for many years, and did not hesitate at all, even if he issued a strict order not to disturb the people.

"Come on, return to the Supreme quickly, Jingzhou is ......!"

In the end, just when Fu Shiren replied to Mi Fang with Lu Meng's general order and arranged the dedication of the city by the way, Lu Meng, who was very excited, immediately prepared to let people go back to report the good news to Sun Quan.

"Metropolitan Governor, Jiangling is the essence of Jingzhou, only Mi Fang in the city is sincerely surrendering at the moment, and the top priority is to enter the city quickly to prevent the people in the city from resisting...... After the real takeover and stabilization of Gangneung, it is not too late to report to the Supreme! ”

looked at Lu Meng, who was excited, and directly or indirectly took over the two cities of Gong'an and Jiangling, but at this time, he quickly reminded him of the fact that Jiangling had not really fallen into his hands.

"Well, what Zhong Xiang said is very true, Ben Du almost missed a big thing! Someone comes, pass on the order of the governor ......"

Being reminded by Yu Xuan, Lu Meng also woke up in an instant.

You must know, as Yu said that this Jiangling is not only the essence of Jingzhou, but also the base camp of the entire Jingzhou soldiers, and most of the families of the Jingzhou soldiers live in this Jiangling City.

Therefore, even if Gangneung is already in a desperate situation, there will definitely be no fewer people in the city who are unwilling to surrender. If you enter the city late and are controlled by those who are unwilling to surrender, you can only attack Gangneung if you want to take Gangneung at that time!

……

"Zifang is also for the people to avoid the poison of war, but to sacrifice small loyalty for the righteousness, there is no need to worry too much about this......"

Under Jiangling City, after personally holding Mi Fang, who was holding the Taishou Seal Letter and surrendering, looking at the other party's 'ashamed' expression, Lu Meng's attitude at this time was much more sincere than that of Fu Shiren before.

There is no way, not to mention that Mi Fang's official status is higher than Fu Shiren, and the importance of Jiangling City alone is also not comparable to that of the public security.

What's more, cash cow industries such as Jingzhou paper mills, bookstores, and wine shops that have brought huge wealth to Liu Chan are all managed by Mi Fang, the 'God of Wealth'.

"The incompetent general who has lost his land is ashamed to trust the lord and the son, and he really deserves the praise of the governor......"

However, hearing Lu Meng's words of relief, Mi Fang not only did not let go, but the 'shame' on her face became even stronger.

And unlike Fu Shiren, who called Liu Bei, Liu Chan and the second master's names, even if he 'surrendered', Mi Fang still referred to him as the lord and son.

"Brother Zifang, as the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and good ministers choose the lord to serve. Liu Adou is young and ignorant, and Guan Yunchang is arrogant...... And as the Metropolitan Governor said, Brother Zifang is for the safety of the people of Jingzhou, how to be ashamed! ”

As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, seeing Mi Fang who was full of shame and humility, and then looking at Fu Shiren with a flattering look next to him, not to mention Lu Meng, even Yu Tuo, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng and other Jiangdong generals were relieved by his kind words at this moment.

Speaking of which, unlike the ridicule of Jiangdong's generals after the real surrender in the original plot, Mi Fang, who surrendered under Liu Chan's arrangement this time, because of the deep helplessness and guilt shown by his superb acting skills, but he succeeded in winning the respect of Jiangdong's civil and military forces, which made Fu Shiren, who really surrendered on the side, suddenly couldn't help but be surprised.

"Alas, after all, Fang is incompetent and undisciplined, and he is ashamed of the lord and son...... I also ask the Metropolitan Governor and you to abide by the preamble on the lower thin side, restrain the sergeants not to disturb the people, and in the lower and lower wishes, I will give gifts to Jingzhou Bookstore and winery and other properties......"

Shaking his head, in the relief of Lu Meng and the Jiangdong generals, as a 'reward' for the restraint of the sergeants, Mi Fang took the initiative to take everyone to receive the Jingzhou Bookstore and Jingzhou Wine Shop and other cash cows.

……

"Governor, generals, the bookstore and the winery are the core secrets of Jingzhou, and I ask you to strictly order the sergeants, and no one who has nothing to do with them is allowed to enter!"

Outside the printing workshop of Jingzhou Bookstore, looking at the Jiangdong army who was about to rush in to 'clear the field' and be on guard, Mi Fang grabbed a few steps to the door and stretched out his hand to stop it.

"What does this mean?"

Looking at Mi Fang, who didn't know his current identity, even Lu Meng and the Jiangdong generals who had a good attitude towards him before, couldn't help but change their faces slightly at this moment.

"Governor, generals, you don't have different intentions. It's just that you don't want everyone to know how to make books and make wine from now on, right? ”

Looking at Lu Meng and the Jiangdong generals who changed their faces in an instant, Mi Fang, who secretly despised her in her heart, did not have the slightest fear on her face, but immediately said this reason that they couldn't refuse at all.

"Uh, thank you Zifang for reminding me, I just misunderstood, and please forgive me!"

Hearing Mi Fang's words, including Lu Meng, all the Jiangdong generals immediately apologized to him.

There is no way, most of these Jiangdong generals present are 'agent' of the Mi Clan's trading house in various parts of Jiangdong, such as paper, books and the now 'illegal' liquor business.

Now after taking Jingzhou, although there is no need to 'buy' from Mi's Commercial Bank, if the secret is really revealed, everyone will be able to make money by then?

So how can they not be grateful for Mi Fang's 'sincerely' reminder of their 'money bags'.

"Mi Zifang, you cowardly and incompetent coward, thanks to Gongzi's trust in you so much, you surrendered without a fight, today we will be Gongzi except you traitor!"

Just when Lu Meng and other Jiangdong generals were still thanking Mi Fang for his 'sincere' reminder, suddenly, with an angry roar, I saw several people holding wooden hammers used to bind books rush out of the printing workshop, aiming directly at his head.

"Daring fanatic!"

Protecting the Child ......

……

"Governor, generals, please be merciful. Geng Shaofu, they are just living in Jiangling to hang out, for the sake of their blood shed for the Han Dynasty, let them spare this time......"

Looking at Geng Ji, Wei Huang and Jin Bao, who were captured by the Jiangdong Army soldiers, Mi Fang, who was smashed by a wooden hammer and had her head broken and bleeding, couldn't care about her injuries, and hurriedly opened her mouth to intercede for a few people.

It turned out that the previous attack on Mi Fang with a wooden hammer was Geng Ji, Wei Huang and Jin Bao, who happened to come to the bookstore to print propaganda materials before the city was broken.

And with the loyal and martyr character of a few people who dared to launch a coup d'état in Cao Cao's lair, how could they bear this breath after learning from the dialogue between Mi Fang and Lu Meng and others that he actually surrendered?

Fortunately, a few people didn't have weapons on them this time, and the only ones that could be used as weapons in the printing workshop were wooden hammers, so Mi Fang picked up a small life. Otherwise, at this time, he is afraid that he will stage a drama in advance to die before he can get out of school.

"Phew! Shameless traitor, if you want to kill, you will kill, why do you need to pretend to plead! Even if we can't eat your flesh in life, we will be ghosts and dogs in death......"

However, for Mi Fang, who pleaded for several people, Geng Ji and the others did not appreciate it, and still scolded him.

"Zifang, it's just a few poor sours, just slaughter it with one sword......"

In the face of these hard-nosed people who dared to assassinate in front of so many of their own people, the Jiangdong generals were a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, what they said is actually right, please spare them this time, lock them up and calm down for a while!"

glanced at Geng Ji and the others, but Mi Fang, who had been beaten in vain, shook his head with a wry smile at the moment, and continued to put on a guilty look to intercede for a few people.

There is no way, outsiders don't know, but he knows very well how important the position of the 'Mission Division' of the Qingshui Yamen where Geng Ji and the others are located is in Liu Chan's heart.

It's just that what Mi Fang didn't expect was that today's 'hammer' he didn't suffer in vain. In the future, his reputation for enduring humiliation and burdens for the sake of the overall situation depends on today's beating.

"Since Zifang intercedes for him, then according to what Zifang said, let's temporarily detain these fanatics first!"

With Mi Fang's repeated pleas, coupled with the fact that the Jiangdong Army had just entered the city, it was the time to collect the hearts of the people, so Lu Meng, who was not good at killing, naturally got off the donkey and waved a few sergeants to escort Geng Ji and the three of them down.

"Zifang is injured today, so it's better to ...... this bookstore and wine shop today."

Looking at Mi Fang, who had just bandaged the wound, and then looked at the printing workshop in front of him, Lu Meng, who was insincere, pretended to be generous and put forward a suggestion to receive it another day.

It's just that Mi Fang, who brought Lu Meng and others to take over the bookstore and the winery, was originally to delay the time for the Jiangdong generals to really understand the situation in the city, so how could they give up halfway?

"It's just a small injury, not enough to worry about! And after this beating, I feel a lot better, hehe......"

Looking at Lu Meng and the others who were insincere, Mi Fang, who was relieved a lot by taking advantage of the hammering opportunity of Geng Ji and the others, shook his head self-deprecatingly at this moment, and led Lu Meng, Xu Sheng and other generals into the printing workshop of Jingzhou Bookstore.

……

"Shhh

"This is the book-making method of Jingzhou Book Company? I thought I copied it by hand......"

"I said why Jingzhou Bookstore produces books so quickly, and the text position of a book is exactly the same, it turns out that this method is used!"

In the printing workshop of Jingzhou Book Company, looking at Mi Fang's order, those unwilling and reluctant printing craftsmen did not spend much time printing and binding dozens of books in the way of running money, including Lu Meng, and the Jiangdong generals were so surprised that their jaws were about to drop.

No way, this method of flexibly combining individual 'stamps' to print the contents of the book is too advanced for them.

"Brother Zifang, I don't know how many books can be made in a day with this method?"

After being surprised, the Jiangdong generals immediately asked about the output of the printing workshop with a curious face.

"It's not too much, a book with a large number of words like "The Book of Rites" can produce more than 1,000 books a day. However, if it is a book with a small number of words, such as "Analects" and "Spring and Autumn", it can print more than 10,000 copies a day......"

Hearing the inquiries of the people in Jiangdong, Mi Fang said "humbly" that half of the printing capacity of a Jingzhou printing workshop on weekdays.

"What, a day can mark a thousand ...... Thousands of volumes, 10,000 ...... The Analects of Ten Thousand Books? ”

Even if Mi Fang only said half of the real production capacity of the Jingzhou Book Company's printing workshop, including Lu Meng, the governor of Jiangdong, the jaws of the Jiangdong generals who had just 'An' went back, but at this moment they fell again.

Especially for people like Yu Translation, who are also proficient in literature, they were even more surprised and lost their voices.

There is no way, let alone a tome of nearly 100,000 words like the Book of Rites, even a 'short story' with only 10,000 words like the Analects, if it is copied, a person will not be able to copy it in a day.

Therefore, after hearing the production capacity of the Jingzhou Book Company Printing Workshop introduced by Mi Fang, it is no wonder that the people of Jiangdong, who subconsciously compared it with hand-copied, were not shocked by this huge gap.

"Brother Zifang, I think there are only about 300 people in this printing workshop, right? If we had added a few more people, wouldn't the number of books produced be ......?"

In addition to being shocked, a group of people who are not hearted enough are starting to expand the scale of the printing shop now for the sake of their own money bags in the future.

"As you have said, if we can increase the number of people, the number of books produced will naturally increase. However, this printing thing can only be done by reading and hyphenating. If you can find more literate people......"

Looking at the group of guys who were not heartfelt, Mi Fang couldn't help but sneer in her heart!

Jokes aside, in an age of extremely low literacy rates, it's not so easy to expand the size of the printing press. Didn't you see that Jingzhou Bookstore has only grown to a scale of more than 300 people after three years since its establishment, and it is still supported by schools in various counties and counties in Jingzhou?

"Come on, pass on the governor's order, no one is allowed to embarrass or hurt anyone in Jingzhou Bookstore. Violators, behead! ”

Knowing that the craftsmen in these printing workshops were all literate and hyphenated people, Lü Meng, the governor of Jiangdong who contributed the words "Shibei should be impressed in three days", immediately issued an order to protect the craftsmen of the printing workshop.

Subsequently, after issuing the general order to protect the Jingzhou Book Company, under the leadership of Mi Fang, Lu Meng and the others went to Jingzhou Distillery, which is the largest gold-absorbing beast in Jingzhou.

As Mi Fang expected, after seeing that the liquor they were going to exchange for a large amount of grain was actually made of coarse grains like Di Grain, all the Jiangdong generals, including Lu Meng, were crazy with joy. No way, it's all golden gold and grain!

"Oh, Dole, knowing the secret of printing and brewing, you will have to stay at home for the rest of your life to read, read, drink, and drink......

Looking at the Jiangdong 'soil buns' who were so happy that they couldn't find the north, Mi Fang, who always kept smiling, couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

"Come on, report back to the lord immediately......"

After a long time, Lu Meng, who could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart, rushed back to Jiangdong and reported to Sun Quan.

It's just that the so-called blessings and misfortunes depend on it, just when Lu Meng and others were still excited to win the two important cities of Gong'an and Jiangling, they didn't know that a big net that had been laid out a long time ago had begun to tighten rapidly.
