The four girls became sworn brothers for the first time, but Liang Xiao was left alone to watch them quietly talking happily.
Jiang Fuxue's three sisters looked doting on their faces. Liang Xiao had reason to believe that if it weren't for etiquette, they would have wanted to kiss Jiang Fuxue's little face, but now they could only rub her face.
The four sisters were in a good mood, especially Jiang Fuxue, who was secretly ecstatic.
She originally just wanted to be nice and enhance their relationship, but she didn't expect that in exchange for it, she would become a sworn brother-in-law, and even Princess Zhou would join in!
Three sisters-in-law were caught with one hook!
Liang Xiao had the honor of temporarily becoming the "coolie" of the four sisters, running to get them rock sugar and snow pears.
"Xue'er will follow your brother and she will become a well-educated and talented woman in the future!" Zhuge Yun praised.
"Well~ Brother, he is..."
Jiang Fuxue once again boasted about her eldest brother. The three sisters became more and more fascinated as they listened, occasionally smiling absentmindedly.
The more they looked at the cute and well-behaved Jiang Fuxue, the more they fell in love with her, and they wished they could take her home and pamper her.
Now that she is also her sister, there is no need to envy Liang Xiao!
It wasn't until Liang Xiao brought rock sugar snow pears that the sisters stopped to taste them happily.
Duan Yunxiu looked at Liang Xiao and said softly: "We have become sworn brothers with Xue'er. Can I call you Brother Xiao from now on?"
Liang Xiao nodded and said: "No problem."
"Then, shall I call you Brother Liang Xiao?" Zhuge Yun followed weakly.
Liang Xiao readily agreed.
Only Mu Qinxue looked disappointed.
She is the same age as Liang Xiao, but she finally falls behind her sisters!
Liang Xiao smiled the whole time and couldn't bear to disturb the four sisters who had become sworn friends for the first time.
The four of them chatted until very late, and then the three sisters said goodbye to Jiang Fuxue.
As soon as the three of them were sent away, Jiang Fuxue said proudly: "Xue'er has done her best. The remaining brothers must fight hard!"
Liang Xiao laughed dumbly.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Fuxue added: "Three sisters-in-law, why don't I tell Xueer three more chapters of "Journey to the West" tonight?"
Liang Xiao almost suffocated.
Three good sisters who doted on her and loved her were only worth three chapters of "Journey to the West" in this girl's eyes?
Duan Yunxiu returned to the palace and told his sister about the sworn relationship.
Duan Yunyi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Since you have also joined the sworn alliance, my sister will naturally regard them as sisters in the future."
Hearing this, Duan Yunxiu was quite surprised.
In fact, she was a little bold tonight, and could even be said to be fooling around.
After all, she was a princess of a country, and she actually became sworn friends with common people on a whim.
But her sister actually had no objection at all.
She could see that it was because of Liang Xiao's contribution that her sister felt that it was understandable for her to do this, and it was considered as repayment to Liang Xiao.
"Sister, do you plan to keep Brother Xiao doing business like this?" Duan Yunxiu said weakly.
Brother Xiao?
Duan Yunyi was stunned and said: "It depends on his wishes. As long as he is willing to enter the officialdom, my sister will arrange a suitable official position for him. If he is not willing, he cannot force it. After all, he has his own sense of proportion. In short, he My sister has already thought of several official positions. One day, he may be able to take over the important responsibilities of the prime minister."
Duan Yunxiu obediently agreed, but his expression was a little hesitant.
She knew how hard it was for Zhuge Hui as prime minister.
She was a little reluctant to let her sweetheart suffer such hardship.
In the Tuoba family's ancestral home, Tuoba Lie and his eldest son Tuoba Jun looked at the newspapers on the table with extremely gloomy expressions.
Tuoba Jun exclaimed: "Such a wonderful thing can be sold all over the city in one day!"
Tuoba Lie gritted his teeth and said: "The capital is such an important territory. You and I should also understand that if he succeeds in opening the newspaper to other places, I am afraid that in the future the public opinion power in the country will be controlled by him!"
Tuoba Jun analyzed: "It is impossible for someone to hand-copy tens of thousands of copies in a short period of time. He does not have so many workers under his name, and he cannot afford them. He must have used some amazing technology, and he must use it as soon as possible. Seize it, otherwise I'm afraid there will no longer be a place for the Tuoba clan to establish itself in the capital's public opinion arena!"
"Let the two brothers from the Duanmu family make arrangements?" Tuoba Lie frowned.
Tuoba Jun shook his head.
"Such a bastard is unfit for company! Transfer the people from the Dugu family and the Gongyang family over as soon as possible to discuss the response together!"
Tuoba Lie's heart tightened.
He suddenly regretted that he strongly opposed Liang Xiao becoming a first-class imperial merchant.
Maybe now she and the Duanmu family are on the list of empresses.
As the surname of the Tuoba family who surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty, unlike the arrogant Duanmu family, they have always been cautious and wanted them to express their stance unless there was a huge temptation of benefits.
Tuoba Jun suddenly had an idea and whispered: "Dad, my child suddenly thought of a plan. The key to this matter is still inside his paper mill. First, send a clever subordinate to inspect his workshop. Even if he can't do everything, In terms of technology, we also need to understand the material structure and imitate it. No matter what, we cannot allow this son to open a newspaper! Then we will find ways to gather the power of disciples from other places and let them copy the content together for later use!"
Tuoba Lie also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately started making arrangements.
Late at night, Xing Feng looked at the newspaper on the table without saying a word.
The two attendants did not dare to disturb him throughout the whole process, but only made eye contact from time to time with worried expressions on their faces.
Normally, Xing Feng would have been generous in his praise.
But now he is silent.
After a long time, Xing Hai suggested: "Little Marquis, why don't we talk to him about cooperation? Even if we can't exchange his skills, we can ask him to run a newspaper for our Dachu at a high price. We will provide the content and he will be responsible for opening the report. At worst, we’ll send people to transport it to Dachu again?”
Xing Feng shook his head, looking helpless.
"If nothing happens to this newspaper, it will help maintain the monarch's rule. He is a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he has just surrendered to the empress. It is absolutely impossible for him to agree to such a thing. Why should you and I bother others?"
"Can't I imitate it?" Xing Hai sighed.
He also realized that if transportation costs for newspapers were included, the gains might outweigh the losses.
Only by opening locally, using local materials, and selling locally can we make a profit.
After all, the materials and labor costs are there.
Xing Feng held the newspaper, looked at the words and patterns on it, and said, "The ink used on this newspaper should be some kind of ink. The content of tens of thousands of copies is the same as the layout. Maybe it uses some kind of stable layout that was carved in advance. Attach the ink and you can leave words on the paper. First send people back to China to inform the research, and then we will wait and see. If you can develop a method yourself, you don't have to be controlled by others. "
Xing Hai turned around and ran to inform. When he came back, he heard Xing Feng sigh: "You still don't realize the meaning behind the newspaper. Once someone easily controls and unifies public opinion, many things, including doing business, can be done with half the effort, and even public opinion can be manipulated. "
His breathing was stagnant for two hours, and the worry in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, the guard came to report: "Little Marquis, Master Tuoba is here to visit!"
