Chapter 175 A Revolution About Scholars IX

The General's Mansion.

"Do you think you can listen to what Yuan Benchu ​​said?" He Jin looked a little hesitant. He raised his head, looked at the staff, and asked.

Naturally, what happened in Luoyang City these days could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of General He Jin, and he was fine enough that the gentry would be completely destroyed by a small Jingping study.

Yuan Shao personally came to ask him to send troops to help attack Yinjian and take down Jingping's study.

This is not only a request from Yuan Shao, but also a request from the gentry.

You must know that the gentry is the biggest support for him to stand above the court. He is in charge of the soldiers. What is missing is the reputation of the gentry.

The gentry should not be offended.

But here in Luoyang City, he is good at using swords and soldiers, which is tantamount to conspiracy. If the court pursues it, he, a general, will not be able to bear it.

"General, a certain thinks that the nobles are trustworthy!"

The one who spoke was the former Nanyang prefect Zhang Zi. After the Nanyang prefect was taken down by Mushan, he has now been recalled from Nanyang to Kyoto by He Jin.

If you want to say who Zhang Zi hates the most, I am afraid that there are only Mu Shan and his son.

He will agree with anything that is not good for Mu Shan and his son. He cupped his hands and said: "The imperial court, we are in the same boat with the gentry. If we don't do it now, it means that we have broken the covenant. Who will trust the general in the future!"

"It makes sense!"

He Jin was a little moved, but he still hesitated in his heart and couldn't make a decision.

"Think twice, General!" Chen Lin, the chief secretary of the General's Mansion, stood up and said, "It is a taboo to mobilize troops in Luoyang City. If Your Majesty is furious, we may bear the brunt of it. If you are named as a rebel, the General I can't bear this crime!"

"This is what the general is worried about!"

He Jin let out a long sigh.

Although he holds the military power in the world now, Luoyang is Luoyang after all, he is always a Hanchen, and he never thought that one day he would rebel and launch troops in Luoyang, which is a taboo thing for the entire court.

He didn't want to become the rebel who attacked in groups.

"Brother, you can't afford to offend the most, why don't you just sit back and enjoy the fisherman's profit!" He Miao, the chariot general, clasped his hands and said, "The ten servants behind the Yinjian Supervisor are the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden. We only need to block the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden. Whether or not the gentry can take down the Yinjianjian is their business!"

In Luoyang City, the military power is divided into three, the northern army is under the command of General He Jin Jiedu, the southern army is under the command of Wei Wei, and the eighth battalion in Xiyuan is a newly built garrison, controlled by ten permanent servants.

As long as they suppress the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden, the Yinjian will be alone and helpless.

"Then in what name are we suppressing the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden?" He Jin's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Think about this!"

He Miao was also distressed.

"The Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army has never communicated with the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden. How about we use the excuse of military exercises to pester the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden?" Chen Lin said.

"it is good!"

General He Jin slapped the desk and said directly to Chen Lin: "Kong Zhang, in the name of the General's Mansion, write a post to Xiyuan. Official post. Tomorrow the Northern Army will go south and will meet with the soldiers and horses of Xiyuan. Play one or two!"

Military exercises are also very normal in this era. To put it more directly, you pull out your soldiers and horses, and I pull out my soldiers and horses. Let's see who has the bigger fists. This is a way to show off.

"promise!"

Chen Lin nodded and accepted the order, and immediately drew up the official post.

**************************************************
In the afternoon, go to the barracks in West Park.

"Eunuch, this is an official post from the General's Mansion!"

"The Northern Army wants to perform a military exercise with us?" Jian Shuo frowned slightly as he looked at the official post.

He immediately summoned all the captains of the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden.

"What do you think?" Jian Shuo asked, staring at the crowd.

"If they want to perform military exercises, then they will do so. What are you afraid of? Is the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden inferior to their Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army?" Bao Hong said coldly.

"that's right!"

Right Captain Chunyu Qiong said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Jian, since the establishment of the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden, we have not performed martial arts except for His Majesty's military parade. Everyone in the world does not know the name of our elite soldiers in the West Garden. Just take this opportunity and become famous all over the world! "

When Jian Shuo heard the words, his heart was moved immediately, he gritted his teeth and said directly: "Okay, all the battalions are ready, we will have a martial arts exercise with the Northern Army, I want to see if it is the elite of the Northern Army, or my Xiyuan Strong!"

"promise!"

A group of school lieutenants took orders, and each left to prepare.

Lieutenant Yuan Shao and Lieutenant Cao Cao of the Dianjun walked side by side, and only spoke when they reached the gate of the camp. Cao Cao said, "Brother Benchu ​​wants to use force here in Luoyang City?"

The sudden military exercise between the two armies made him have to think more.

"Sure enough, you can't hide anything from Brother Meng De!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he cast a sidelong glance at Cao Cao, and soon relaxed, smiled lightly, and admitted frankly: "Now that things have come to an end, someone wants to dig out the roots of my gentry, so naturally uncle and the others can't hold back!"

"Brother Benchu, didn't you think about the effect of doing this?" Cao Cao frowned. This is different from the past. If the sword is really used, no one can predict the outcome. It might be that Luoyang is in chaos, but he doesn't want to see it things.

"Brother Meng De, I am soft-spoken, how can I convince my uncle at home, I just obey orders!" Yuan Shao shook his head.

"The general agreed?"

"Otherwise, why would we perform today's military exercise!"

"You are persecuting His Majesty!"

"It's Your Majesty who is forcing us!" Yuan Shao said coldly, "Why don't I, the Yuan family, want to get along with each other, but Your Majesty is still unwilling to live in harmony!"

"Hey!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath. After all, he is just a pawn. In today's Luoyang City, he is not capable of playing chess.

After returning to the barracks, Cao Cao summoned his generals and began to order the task: "It doesn't matter whether we win or lose in the martial arts show between us and the Northern Army. You must not hurt your life, do you know?"

"promise!

The generals took orders and began to go down to prepare for the deployment of troops.

"Zixiao!"

"Brother!"

The young Cao Ren, 21 this year, came to the capital last year and won the championship, and joined his elder brother Cao Cao.

"You can send this letter to the Marquis' Mansion of Xi'e Township in person. Just throw it in. Don't reveal your identity. After you send the letter, return it immediately!" Cao Cao took a pen and ink, sealed a letter, and then Handed it to Cao Ren and said with instructions.

"promise!"

Cao Ren was a ranger when he was young, and he didn't have many light skills. This kind of work was too easy for him.

Watching Cao Ren leave, Cao Cao showed a bitter smile on his face at this moment, and muttered to himself: "Mulongtu, I can only help you for this part, in fact, I don't want these gentry to monopolize you." Shilin, if all the people in the world can read the book, what kind of situation it would be, I hope you can keep the seal maker!"

***********************
Printing supervisor.

Paper workshop.

"Left supervisor, your speed should be faster!"

Mujing checked the most produced paper, the softness is already good, although it can continue to be improved, but it is not this time, now is a period of rushing work: "The paper workshop has dragged down the entire printing department, printing The brothers in the workshop will laugh at you!"

"Please rest assured, the supervisor, as long as my newly established five assembly lines are put into operation, the daily production of paper will increase by more than one generation!"

Zuo Yong's eyes were red, he had been up late for several days, when he heard Mu Jing's words, he said harshly.

There is an arch between the two workshops. There are also some exchanges on weekdays. Naturally, there will be some contests to see who is more important in this printing supervisor. Papermaking and printing are actually an assembly line, and paper cannot be produced. , Printing is naturally useless.

"The people you recruited before are guaranteed!"

Mujing's eyes swept across and saw many new faces.

"They were all workers in some workshops before, so they know the basics, and now that the official office has been closed, they can't leave the official office!"

"It's better to be optimistic!"

Mu Jing instructed: "I'm not afraid of powerful enemies, I'm afraid of house thieves. If someone makes trouble, as long as there is a small problem with the craftsmanship, it can affect the production of a lot of paper. You should be clearer than me about this!"

"I will be optimistic about them!"

Zuo Yong promised.

After Mu Jing inspected the paper-making workshop, he returned to the front office. The books in Jingping's study are selling out, and the supply is in short supply. Everyone in the office is very busy, with footsteps coming in and out, and voices overlapping.

It was starting to get dark, and the lights were brightly lit in the printing prison, and there were bursts of work sounds coming out continuously.

"Master Jianling, yesterday's account of Jingping's study!" In the lobby, Xin Zhao reported in detail.

"300 books, we set up twelve study rooms in Luoyang, and each study room has sold more than [-] books on average!"

Mu Jing began to flip through the pages, and said, "We have sold a total of 1 books for all the books sold these days!"

1 books, in modern times, an ordinary small bookstore probably has more than that, let alone those libraries with hundreds of thousands or millions of books.

But in this era, this is already a figure that is so terrifying that it makes all the gentry feel ashamed.

At the same time, it also consumed the inventory of the entire printing factory.

At this time, the Printing Supervisor printed it and sent it directly to the major studies, but after all, it was still a drop in the bucket, and there was no way to welcome it.

"Yes, that doesn't include the prizes from our lottery!" Xin Zhao said, "If it is counted as a lottery, we have sold more than 4000 books!"

"How is the availability?"

"All the study rooms are in the process of being out of stock, but the paper-making workshop and the printing workshop have been rushing to work day and night, and the supply will inevitably be difficult in the next two days!" The little eunuch Zhao Xin was only responsible for supervising Mujing before. But now he is more interested in making seals, and his interest is very high, so he is very active.

"Tell Study, limited sales!"

Mujing has already made preparations in this regard. Once the supply exceeds demand, he has formulated a limited sales plan.

"promise!"

Xin Zhao clasped his hands and nodded, and began to deliver the order.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness is coming!" Huang Zhong, wearing a battle armor, walked in and said with cupped hands.

"What is she here for?"

Mu Jing frowned.

"I can't come!" Zhang Ning came before he heard.

"It's not very safe here, but I don't really want you to come!" Mu Jing looked at the handsome man who walked in hurriedly, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said angrily.

"I'm here to deliver a letter to you!" Zhang Ning sat down and said lazily.

"Send a letter?"

Mu Jing looked at the letter she took out, and asked, "Who sent it!"

"I don't know, in the evening, it was sent to the Hou's Mansion!" Zhang Ning answered without hesitation, picked up Mu Jing's teacup, took a sip of the tea.

"Send it to the Hou Mansion?"

Mu Jing opened the letter and looked at it, his eyes burst out with a gleam of brilliance.

"What?" Zhang Ning asked.

"You haven't seen it?"

"I'm not someone who open up other people's letters casually!" Zhang Ning said.

"a good thing!"

Mu Jing smiled, and then beckoned to Huang Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, pass on the order, everyone be careful tonight!"

"promise!"

Huang Zhong's tiger eyes widened, and he immediately understood what Mu Jing meant.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ning asked.

"Going to war!"

Mujing stood up, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said: "They really have the guts, so I won't be polite, new and old grudges, let's settle them together!"
