Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 169 A Revolution About Scholars Part Three

"Fang Ping, how are we preparing for the shops in the capital?" In the Hou Mansion, Mu Jing knelt down, holding a brush in his hand, and swiping ink to write. While writing, he asked in a low voice, asking about kneeling A young man sitting directly opposite.

"Reporting to the shopkeeper, we have started to decorate the interior of the twelve shops that we leased. According to the richness of the shopkeeper, we spared no expense to create a more elegant atmosphere!"

Sun Yu is in his early 20s and has just reached the crown. The elders gave him the name Fang Ping. Sun Fangping is a relatively outstanding young man from the younger generation of Wuyin's Sun family. He is also Sun Hao's cousin. He is Sun Hao's loyal confidant .

Jingping Trading Company wants to take advantage of the great opportunity of Mushan becoming the prefect of Nanyang to attack Nanyang County City and Wancheng, and naturally concentrate all manpower and material resources in Nanyang. Sun Hao, the executive shopkeeper, naturally needs to go to battle in person.

After leaving the capital, Sun Yu, his confidant left behind, came to obey Mu Jing's orders. After all, the capital also needs people from the business firm to guard it.

"At most five days, the work can be completed!"

He added something.

"very good!"

Mu Jing is very satisfied with Sun Yu's work. This young man is not very capable, but he is very down-to-earth. He will do well when he orders himself. Have you selected the manager of the store?"

"Boss, I've thought about it. If you transfer people from Nanyang, it's too late. If you hire people from outside, it seems that it's not safe. Why don't you just transfer them from the Hou Mansion!"

"Hou Mansion?"

"There are hundreds of soldiers in the Hou's mansion. Although they are all soldiers in the army, it shouldn't be difficult to pick out a few shopkeepers!"

"it is good!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, nodded in response, and said, "I've issued an order. You can go directly to Huo Shao and choose as much as you like. Except for officers above the head of the village, you can choose others. My request is very simple. Next year Before the third day of junior high school, my shop will open, and there must be enough manpower!"

A warrant issued by him, handed to Sun-woo.

"Yes!"

Sun Yu took the warrant, nodded to accept the order, then bowed and saluted, turned and left.

Mu Jing continued to write on the desk. What he wrote was a sales plan, a complete plan for book sales. From the preparation before the release to the contingency after the sale, there must be a plan.

It's an old habit.

In the past, every time he launched a new product or opened a new branch, he would first make a plan for himself to make himself feel at ease before starting to act.

"Although there are study rooms in the market, they are all expensive and the supply exceeds demand!"

"This should be a monopoly business!"

"Since it is a monopoly, it must be high-profile, high-profile to sell, and high-profile to advertise!"

"In terms of pricing, market reaction is very important!"

"But before that, we need to create a brand effect, and we can only use the simplest method, free gift!"

"..."

Mu Jing made the plan very detailed. After all, this is not just a business, but also a revolution. Once this revolution breaks out, he is also very predictable about the consequences, so he must make full preparations.

"Sir!"

In the evening, Huo Yu walked in, cupped his hands and saluted, and then said: "There is still some time until the end of the year, should our Hou Mansion start to prepare!"

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Mu Jing put down his pen and ink, and said: "It's the end of the year again, so get ready. We will observe the new year in Luoyang this year. There are many rules, so there must be no mistakes, and we must take care of the homesickness of the subordinates." good!"

"My subordinates understand!"

"In addition, you also need to prepare for the New Year's gift. Who should give it and who should not give it. You must have a good reputation in your heart!"

"My subordinates will take care of it!" Huo Yu nodded, "I promise we won't let the Marquis of Xi'e Township lose face!"

In order to adapt to the status of the Marquis Mansion, he spent more than ten dollars to buy an old eunuch in the palace, and asked some noble etiquette. After all, a Marquis Mansion represents the reputation of the entire Mu family, and he will never let Mu Shanmu The reputation of Jing father and son was damaged.

……

There are still two days before the end of the year, and the imperial court has begun to enter a state of rest, but the printing supervisor is always working overtime.

Mu Jing entered the printing workshop.

"Three thousand volumes!"

Looking at the books stacked in the warehouse, there was a bright smile on his face.

There are "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean"... and so on. They are not precious, but the most common Confucian classics.

But if the books here are released, it will cause a sensation among scholars all over the world.

"Meet the prison order!"

Supervisor Zuo Yong's face was a bit haggard, but his expression was excited.

"How many printing lines have been prepared?"

"Eleven!"

"not enough!"

Mu Jing said: "Within ten days, it must be increased to fifteen!"

"This one……"

"We are running out of time. Your Majesty is urging us. On the third day of the first month of next year, our study will open to sell books. If we don't have enough stock, it will be difficult to create a brand effect!" Mu Jing said: "This It's not just a business, it's a war, we can't lose!"

"I try my best!"

Zuo Yong said bitterly.

"By the way, what is the state of mind of the craftsmen in the printing workshop?"

"What does the supervision order refer to?"

"We must secure our internal affairs first when fighting against the outside world. I didn't expect that someone here would strike back and destroy our printing plates, cutting off our momentum!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

"I recruited these craftsmen from various workshops, there should be no problem!" Zuo Yong was a little unconfident. After all, he was still using new hands, so he couldn't guarantee the absolute loyalty of these craftsmen.

"Keep an eye on it!"

Mu Jing said: "Your Majesty is very concerned about this matter. If we fail, your and my heads will probably be thrown on the guillotine in Dongshi!"

"promise!"

Zuo Yong's heart sank and he nodded quickly.

……

The end of the year is coming as scheduled.

On this day, the sky was heavy, the wind was blowing, and the snow was white. The streets and alleys of Luoyang City were covered with snowflakes.

Xi'e Township Hou Mansion.

One after another, large lanterns were hung up, glowing red, and the word 'Mu' reflected by the lights was very bright.

"Come!"

Above the lobby, Mujing hosted a banquet for everyone in the mansion, including ordinary guards, to celebrate the New Year together: "I, Mujing, thank you for your support for me in the past year. Without you, I, Mujing, would not be sitting here." Guangjing, this generation, is to congratulate all of us that in the new year, everything goes well!"

"May all go well with you!"

"May all go well with you!"

The morale of these Jingping officers and men is very high, which is a kind of respect in their hearts, the Hou Mansion is also considered noble, and the nobles treat their servants like pigs and dogs. Now that Mu Jing can personally entertain all of them at the end of the year, this is a big deal. It was Mujing's respect for them, and this kind of respect gave them a feeling of being overwhelmed by Mujing.

People in this era are very simple and persistent. As long as you treat them better, they will work hard for you.

"Zhongheng!"

"Sir!"

"Bring up the things, and I'll give them New Year's money!" After enjoying a glass of strong wine, Mu Jing stood up and said proudly.

"Yes!"

Huo Yurang carried in a box from left to right. Inside were money bags that had already been prepared, bright red, with the word "blessing" embroidered on it.

"New Year's money?"

"I've heard of it, but I've only heard that wealthy families have money to celebrate the new year!"

"I heard that if you take the lucky money, you will be blessed in the coming year!"

"Your Majesty's righteousness, I'll definitely do my best to your Majesty in the future!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately became very excited.

There is already lucky money in this era, but it is the patent of the aristocratic family. They are all born with mud legs, and they usually can’t eat enough for a meal. Where is there any lucky money, so this is basically their first choice. New Year's Eve.

"this is yours!"

"Xiaoyu, I remember you, you almost peed your pants when you beat Ge Po, but Shangcai killed the enemy bravely, I'll give you a big one!"

"Old man Fan, you are a village chief, and your son-in-law hasn't been taken in yet, why are you in a hurry, go later!"

"Huo Shao, you big man, why squeeze, get out of here!"

"..."

Mujing personally handed out these lucky money bags one by one.

"Speak out, I'm afraid no one thinks that Mujing is a majestic son of a township with a feudal land!" Huang Zhong is also wearing a dark red brocade robe today. Today is the end of the year, and Mujing made orders for everyone in the mansion. They wore new robes, all of which were bright red.

In his eyes, the princes and nobles all have their eyes above the top. Even though there are some actions of courteous corporals on weekdays, they are naturally superior and extremely arrogant guys after all. Mu Jing refreshed his senses.

"This kid has a bit of a knack for buying people's hearts!"

Zhang Huo curled his lips, he still has a lot of opinions on Mujing.

One of the biggest reasons was naturally Zhang Ning who was by Mu Jing's side and was helping to distribute the New Year's money bags.

Her Majesty the Saintess, who was holy and flawless in the past, has now been by Mu Jing's side for less than a year, and has fallen into the mortal world, becoming a very ordinary, ordinary little girl with joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys.

……

At the end of the year, it is necessary to keep the year old.

Originally, all the male members of a family get together to keep the New Year's Eve, which is considered to be in compliance with the rules, but now that Mushan is in Nanyang, there is only one master in the entire Xi'e Township Hou's Mansion, and that is Mu Jing, and Mu Jing can only keep the New Year's Eve in person.

After the crowd dispersed, Zhang Ning also accompanied Mu Jing to watch the new year in the hall under the pretext of being bored. As for her mentality, it's hard to say.

"Your Highness, what is your wish for the new year!"

Seeing the snowflakes flying, Mu Jing asked.

"desire?"

Zhang Ning thought for a while: "I want to go back to Taiping Mountain and pay homage to my father's grave!"

"It will come true!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "One day, I will return Taiping Mountain to you!"

"What about yours?" Zhang Ning asked back.

"me?"

Mu Jing pondered for a while, and said: "I also want peace, not the Taiping of Taiping Mountain, nor the Taiping of Taiping Road, what I want is the peace of the world!"

"It will come true!"

Zhang Ning repeated Mu Jing's words.

"Clang clang clang!!!!!!"

In Zishi, time passed bit by bit, from the old year to the new year, the bells in the palace began to ring again and again, and the sound waves echoed in Luoyang City, telling all the people that the new year had arrived.

Zhongping for six years.

This will be the year when the Han Dynasty collapsed, and it will also be the year when the chaos of the Three Kingdoms begins. The beginning of this year is also the beginning of the Mu family's father and son on the world's big stage...
