Ding Kui met Jiang Shunchuan who had just finished delivering the invitation in the study. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Yawen Romance.

"Okawa. Ding Kui had a bunch of ledgers in front of him.

"Sir, please speak. Jiang Shunchuan stood on the side of the desk with his hands down.

"What do you think of the name Ding Chuan?"

The corners of Jiang Shunchuan's eyes jumped, and he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The slave thanked the master for giving him a name, and the slave thanked the master for giving his name!" The name Ding Chuan can only be used on him, and he is very familiar with Ding Kui's style of helping others name names.

As a housekeeper, the surname is different from the master's surname, which is relatively rare in a noble family, Jiang Shunchuan has always had a pimple in his heart, thinking that he is not a pure Ding family. His father Jiang Nai was not surnamed Jiang before, and he was given the surname Jiang after following Jiang Tong for a long time, and the surname of the master was the orthodoxy in his heart.

"I should have given you a name a long time ago, but since I enlisted in the army, I have been delayed, and I have to tell you in person about such an important matter, and it is too hasty to pass on the letter. By the way, Ding Gu is okay?"

Ding Gu is the name that Ding Kui gave to Jiang Shunchuan, that is, Ding Chuan's son.

"The dog is four years old this year, and he is in good health and can run and jump, and at the beginning of the year, the slave took him to the capital, and let him come to see the master in a while. ”

When Ding Chuan picked up his wife and son to come to the capital, Ding Kui was making a big fuss in the capital.

"Well, I'll let Uncle Jiang take a look when I go back, if it's suitable, I will be under Uncle Jiang when Ding Gu grows up. ”

Ding Kui prepared a meeting gift for Ding Gu, but this sentence made Ding Chuan happier than any gift, the disciples of the big archer, not to mention whether there is any chance to say at least the backstage is tough.

Receiving the invitation sent by Ding Chuan are Yang Mian, Kong Ren, Long Shuang and Nangong Hire, the four of whom are the most familiar of Ding Kui in the new generation in the capital.

This time, Yang Mian was late, and apologized to everyone as soon as he arrived.

"Originally, I asked a few friends for dinner, but when the Ding Kui brothers came back, I went over to say hello and went straight to Ding's house, I'm sorry for making you wait for a long time. ”

"I'm embarrassed to let Brother Yang rush over in his busy schedule. Ding Kui welcomed Yang Mian into the living room.

"The meeting of the nobles is about to be held, and many local nobles have come to the capital in advance, and it is normal for Brother Yang to be busy. Kong Ren smiled, as if he had guessed who Yang Mian had dated.

"Hmph, the ancestor of the family specially instructed me to have as little contact with nobles from other places as possible, but I didn't expect your Yang family to be the opposite. "Long Shuang is different from Yang Mian, others ask him to think clearly in advance before going.

"It's different, my father is leading the troops outside, and some people and things need me to come forward, and I can't help myself. ”

Yang Chao is still in the base camp of the Western Sea Theater, and the battle situation in the West Sea is much better than when he first arrived in the theater, and the four coastal states in the west have all cultivated a new batch of naval units, and have begun to engage the navy of the Thousand Islands Alliance, and have achieved certain results.

"Hehe, the first family of Shaodian Country, the protagonist of the aristocratic conference, Brother Yang has been majestic recently. Ding Kui also piggyback on a few words of compliment.

"No matter how majestic I am, it also depends on the family shadow, if you want to talk about personal prestige, who can compare to you Ding Horse, the general. You don't have time to step down from the General Staff today, and your current rank is higher than that of anyone here. Yang Mian pointed the finger at Ding Kui.

Twenty-two-year-old Overseer Generals are rare in Shaodian, especially if they have been promoted from a squadron leader.

"The four elder brothers are all the future pillars of the kingdom, and the younger brother really envy you. "Nangong hired was the only person present who did not have an official position.

Kong Ren served in the Ministry of Culture and Education, Yang Mian served in the Military Command Department, and Long Shuang served in the Equipment Department.

Ding Kui said enviously: "According to the imperial doctor's diagnosis, Princess Nangong is pregnant with a prince, and your Nangong family will have at least one prince to take care of it in the future, what kind of official will you be, how good it is to be a gentleman at ease." ”

"Brother Ding Xian doesn't like he just returned to the capital, he knows a lot of things. Kong Ren immediately got to the point.

The imperial doctor made a diagnosis a few days ago, and together with the queen, he confirmed that he was pregnant with a boy, and Ding Kui arrived in the capital at noon, and said it at dinner.

"The big and small things in the capital can't be hidden from the reporters of "Watching the Moon", and those reporters may have inquired about the news. Brother, if I have anything bad to do in the future, I must help my brother take care of it, and don't publish it in your magazine. Yang Mian gave Ding Kui a glass of wine for this matter.

Several others also picked up their glasses and drank with them.

"Watching the Moon" will not write about the troubles of the royal family and the high-ranking nobles, Ding Kui has already instructed on this, and he doesn't want to make "Watching the Moon" into a gossip magazine, but no one dares to guarantee that there will be no scandal in the future, and whether it will be written is only between Ding Kuima's thoughts.

"Hahaha, brother, "Watching the Moon" will not publish the things that make you unhappy, and the things that are in the limelight will definitely help you write a book. Ding Kui did not deny that he sent reporters to collect news about the capital.

"Speaking of this, I'll pass on a word for the family, I wonder if the Kong family can find you to co-organize a magazine?" Kong Ren generously brought it up during the banquet, and said it in private without hiding it.

Yang Mian and Long Shuang belong to the people of the military system, and Nangong is a person who is an indigenous nobleman, and he will not be interested in running a magazine, Kong Ren knew that the matter would definitely spread, so he simply said it directly to his face.

"Of course you can, the Kong family is willing to cooperate with me, it is unbelievable, "Watching the Moon" is a small game, I don't dare to let it go out of Zhongwangzhou, with the support of the Kong family, the new magazine can face the whole country. ”

Ding Kui had long wanted to cooperate with the Kong family, but he took the initiative to ask for a discount on the door, so he endured it until now.

"I envy you, it's a good deal. Yang Mian was jealous.

"Do you really plan to engage in business? "Long Shuang is not interested in literary affairs at all.

"Although the little brother really wants to join in the fun, he also knows that you won't take me to play, can you bring me a good thing like this in the future?"

"The purpose of the new magazine is mainly to introduce books, and the Confucian family is selfish and willing to do something for the literati, not entirely to make money, I hope you brothers can understand. ”

As soon as Kong Ren said this, Ding Kui roughly understood.

There are many people who practice martial arts in this world, and there are also many people who read books, and there are tens of thousands of people who are familiar with the classics in the country of Shaodian.

There are countless books that have been circulated in the world, but only a few are widely circulated, and the vast majority of books are unknown or only a very small number of people know.

The magazines that the Confucian family wanted to run were used to publicize those works that were not well known, and which author did not want his books to be publicized? This was a good flag for buying readers, especially on the eve of the meeting of the nobles, once the magazine was published, almost all the readers would gather around the Confucian family.

You said that the co-organizers, the Ding family, are not among the top ten elders.

"There is nothing wrong with doing business, which nobleman in Lu Country does not do business? Who dares to say that I can't fight? I can't represent the Wuxun family? I want to marry the eldest princess, how can I earn more money enough for her to spend, not to mention cooperating with the Kong family, no matter how much money I take from scholars, I will not be soft. ”

Ding Kui objected to Long Shuang's opinion, he was forced to engage in business, the king did not let him mix in the military, others could not say that he did not follow the tradition of the martial arts family, not to mention that he had proven himself on the battlefield.

"This is good, people will not worry about the Kong family and the Ding family joining forces, and there is no pressure from the outside world for your cooperation. "Yang Mian can see it through.

The Confucian family and the Ding family have no fundamental common interests, even if the Ding family is favored by scholars, it is useless, and the Ding family, which has no territory and people, is rooted in the military.

After the dinner, Ding Kui asked Long Yan to accompany Yang Mian, Long Shuang and Nangong to play mahjong, and he pulled Kong Ren to the study.

Ding Kui first asked, "Where do you want to publish the new magazine?"

"It's better to be national, and you have to be a household name in the capital first. Kong Ren replied without thinking about it.

"It's a bit difficult to say it nationally, but with the influence of the Confucian family, you can do it with some time, you will be responsible for compiling the content and distribution, and I will be in charge of the overall operation, and the new magazine will be launched in two months. "Ding Kui has experience in this area and is full of confidence.

"The same is true at home, you have the right and experience to run a magazine, the Kong family has the manpower and appeal to write magazines, and as for the distribution channels, you can use the power of the Ministry of Culture and Education. I'm not worried about failure, but I hope the magazine will be published as soon as possible. ”

"Well, the profit share of the new magazine?"

"You and I divide the two families equally, as I said just now, the Kong family is not for making money. "Kong Ren has family authorization.

"Have you decided on a name for the magazine?"

"My ancestor came up with a name, called "Book Collection". ”

"Book Collection, good name. What about the content of the first issue?" Ding Kui quickly deduced in his mind.

"According to the layout and word count of "Watching the Moon", we have compiled the content of three issues, which can be handed over to you for review at any time. ”

The Kong family is not like Ding Kui back then, any servant in the family can write the articles needed by the magazine, and there is no shortage of editors at all.

"Oh, do you have any reserved advertising space? The book printing workshop must be ready, right?"

"We don't understand that, but don't worry, I'm in charge of the government-run print shop across the country. ”

Ding Kui looked at Kong Ren in astonishment, he didn't expect the other party to have so much power in his hands, "Amazing, admire! In this way, let's sign the cooperation contract, and I will personally typeset the first issue of "Book Series", and it will be printed in ten days at most. In the future, I will transfer a chief editor of "Watching the Moon" to be responsible for the editorial management of "Book Collection". ”

"No problem, I'll go home tonight and report to my ancestors, and I'll be able to deliver the contract early tomorrow morning. Kong Ren didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

The time given by Kong Ci was to complete this within a month, knowing that the meeting of nobles was scheduled to be held a month after the eldest princess's wedding.

After the matter was discussed, Kong Ren came out to play mahjong, and after losing to Yang Mian, Long Shuang and Nangong hired dozens of gold coins, he left and went home, and the gathering of friends gathered by Ding Kui also ended.

The next day, Mu Sen, who was far away in Pingzhong County, received a magic summons, and Ding Kui ordered him to leave for Zhenjing immediately.
