Chapter 89: Stirring Up the Storm
Late at night, Tuoba Lie returned home with a gloomy face.
"This Xing Feng can't be measured by common sense!"
Tuoba Jun frowned and said, "Dad, why do you say this?" ”
"My father thought that he admired Liang Xiao as rumored, but I didn't expect that when my father mentioned Liang Xiao and tested his tone, he looked disapproving. But when his father released kindness to him and expressed his dissatisfaction with Liang Xiao, he talked about him left and right. Tuoba sighed.
Tuoba Jun said in a deep voice: "It seems that this time the Great Chu envoy has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Great Zhou, so he can only rely on us and the other two." Duanmu's family is in the light, and we are in the dark, even if we can't hide it, at least we can't be as stupid as Duanmu Cloud City. Arrange all localities first, tighten the industry, and immediately resell the bookstore, so as not to be affected by Liang Xiao's commercial expansion. ”
Tuoba Lie looked reluctant: "Those bookstores are also profiteering, do you really want to give up......
Tuoba Jun analyzed: "If we can't imitate his technology, we will naturally have to give up, and the bookstore is destined to depreciate at a speed visible to the naked eye!" In addition, the distance between the capital and other places makes it difficult to transmit information in a timely manner, making it inconvenient to manage, so it is necessary to make plans in advance. If we can imitate his technology, at that time, even if we don't have a bookstore, all families will compete to cooperate, take the initiative to make profits, and seek cooperation. ”
Seeing that Tuoba Lie was still a little reluctant, Tuoba Jun reminded: "Dad, first be invincible, and wait for the enemy to be victorious!" Our family is not from the Central Plains, we must act without leakage, if the situation is not good, let's make some money, and we can escape abroad as soon as possible, so as not to suffer from the pond fish! As for land and real estate, can we still take it away before we run away? Prepare a way out before you can fight with confidence! ”
Tuoba Lie's face was full of confusion.
His eldest son is really exhaustive, thoughtful, and can see Liang Xiao's potential.
And now Liang Xiao is publishing newspapers again, promoting himself and the empress, and buying people's hearts.
No matter how eager the Tuoba clan is to deal with Liang Xiao at present, they can't do it, let alone extract the empress.
After a long time, Tuoba Lie nodded and said, "You're right! The Tuoba clan has full wings, even if it can't replace it, where can't it go in this world? The income from selling property can also be used to recruit at any time! ”
Completely different from other families dealing with Liang Xiao, the Tuoba clan secretly contacted various families, hoping to transfer the bookstore and other properties.
"You're out of business?" Duanmu Yuncheng, the person in charge of the Duanmu family, looked surprised.
The Tuoba clan's wealth is not as good as that of the Duanmu family, but they have never done a loss-making business.
"My father has a saying, it is inconvenient for officials to do business, and now the empress is very wary of my family, and my family should keep to themselves, after all, my family is not a big family in the Central Plains." Tuoba Jun replied.
Duanmu Yuncheng immediately sent someone to inform the elders, and after receiving a reply, he nodded and said, "Then transfer it, I hope you won't regret it." ”
The matter of the two transactions did not escape Xuanwei's sight.
Gu Pingxiu received the news from the palace and notified Liang Xiao as soon as possible.
"Sell the bookstore, the paper mill, the restaurant?" Liang Xiao frowned, and suddenly became vigilant.
This shows that the Tuoba clan is either long-term or wants to run away with a bucket. Inform Your Majesty that you should keep an eye on them no matter what. If they really have the heart to be loyal to the imperial power, they will definitely not join the surrender faction, let alone go against His Majesty and the Prime Minister in everything. It can be seen that the benefits of cooperating with those families are far greater than loyalty to the imperial power, which shows that the strength of these families in the Great Zhou Dynasty is far beyond estimates. ”
Gu Pingxiu had already convinced Liang Xiao and immediately reported Duan Yunyi.
The two sisters, who were reviewing the folds together, also became nervous when they received Liang Xiao's reminder.
They became more and more convinced of Liang Xiao's vision.
The prime minister often reminds that the Tuoba family and the father and son have different ambitions. I know that if it weren't for the pressure of the prime minister, this Tuoba clan would definitely grow wildly, and the tail would not fall off. First transfer the Anbei general Tuoba Pavilion back to the capital. ”
Tuoba Ting, the general of Anbei, is Tuoba Lie's nephew, and now serves as a supervisor in the north.
Xuan Wei hurriedly reminded: "Lord, the boss specially said that Tuoba Pavilion should be left in the north first!" ”
"Why?" Duan Yunyi said curiously.
"He is the master of the Tuoba clan, this foreign general is the key to solving the Tuoba clan, don't let him return to Beijing, at least a thousand miles away from Beijing!" Xuan Wei replied.
"Really? Then inform the Marquis of Dingguo, as always, you must not let Tuoba Pavilion lead the troops. ”
After Duan Yunyi made the arrangement, he was still a little uneasy and looked at his sister.
Duan Yunsleeve comprehended and said happily: "I'll go see him~"
Two hours later, Liang Xiao followed Duan Yunsleeve into the imperial study.
At this time, Zhuge Hui was also at the scene, frowning.
The Tuoba clan sold the industry, which was legal and compliant, and there was no problem on the surface, and it also contributed tens of thousands of taels of silver to the national treasury.
But the Tuoba clan, as one of the powerful families of the Great Zhou, has always been the most feared by Zhuge Hui.
In comparison, the Duanmu family of the fourth and third princes is a little better to deal with.
After entering the door, Duan Yunchong asked Liang Xiao, "Why does Brother Xiao oppose the transfer of Tuoba Pavilion back?" ”
Liang Xiao looked around and whispered: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, and the fewer people who know, the better!" ”
Duan Yunyi understood, and retreated from the left and right Xuanwei, leaving only Feiyun and another Xuanwei leader.
Liang Xiao explained in detail.
The more they listened, the more frightened they became......
On the other hand, the second issue of the Big Sunday newspaper also began to be released, and it was sold out again.
A large number of merchants and hawkers bought in bulk for nine cents a piece, and sold them in various urban areas to earn a small profit.
As a result, a new industry of newspaper sellers was born.
Liang Xiao was also happy.
According to his assumptions, it is also costly to recruit long-term newsboys outside, and a small profit can also win the favor of these vendors.
Let the children of their workers sell the newspaper only by surprise in the first issue, so that they can be exposed to the outside world for a long time, and the children do not rule out the possibility of being tempted by the enemy to buy them, and thus leak the technology of the workshop.
"This issue of the newspaper is full of content again!"
"Huh? There is also a novel serialization column in this issue? "Journey to the West"? ”
The streets were filled with wonders and exclamations.
In ancient times when entertainment was scarce, coupled with the promotion of newspapers, the emergence of "Journey to the West" was undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction blow and quickly won unanimous praise from readers.
"Why is there only one chapter? Didn't finish it? ”
"My boss said that in the future, stories like "Journey to the West" will be promoted and serialized with each issue of the newspaper, I hope you will support it!"
The shopkeeper took the trouble to explain the situation to each visitor.
People looked at the newspaper in their hands and looked forward to it: "Don't go out of business, you won't be able to see it if you go out of business!" ”
The happiest is Jiang Fuxue.
She followed Liang Xiao's narration and restored the content as much as possible, which was praised by Liang Xiao, and now it has been affirmed by the people.
I can finally do something practical for my brother!
Different from the expectations of the people, the faces of the people of the major families became more and more ugly after reading the newspaper.
A big Sunday newspaper unexpectedly stirred up public opinion in the capital.
And Liang Xiao's other secret workshops are quietly operating, making various attempts......
