When Yunze heard this, he smiled. Sisters Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi were already smart. If they were trained now, they would be his greatest helpers in the future.
At this time, Yunze looked at Su Qianmo and said, "How is the situation over at Longtou Mountain? Especially how is the progress of the iron-making workshop! By the way, there is also the breeding workshop, there is no problem!"
Although Su Qianmo is in Danyang City, he still has a stronghold in the city. News about Longtou Mountain often comes back, and Su Qianmo will also find time to go back and take a look.
She nodded to Yunze and replied: "The breeding workshop is going well, and we should be able to see the results in a few months. In addition, there is also great progress in the iron-making workshop. The iron quality It’s dozens of times better than before. Now, those blacksmiths are studying the steelmaking method you mentioned, and it shouldn’t take long before they can succeed!”
Yunze taught the blacksmiths how to make steel, and they should have mastered the technique. The only thing missing now is the materials. This matter can't be rushed, Yunze can't find the corresponding materials yet.
However, once the stalls on the fiefdom are spread out and businessmen from all over the Jing Dynasty come to find them, Yunze can ask them for some materials in exchange for goods.
Sometimes money is definitely better than goods.
Although the fiefdom is one of Yunze's bases, that place belongs to Prince Danyang after all, and it is exposed to the outside world. Only Longtou Mountain is his secret base.
"There is also Weihu Mountain. They have been a lot more honest recently. Because you told the city guards to strictly check people entering and leaving the city, the people from Weihu Mountain tried to sneak into the city several times, but they all failed. So. Weihu for the time being. Mountains cannot threaten you, but you should be careful, they will have other ideas."
"I think you should strengthen the security on the fiefdom side. I'm afraid that Weihu Mountain will cause trouble there."
When Yunze heard this, he made a note of it in his mind. In the past few days, he had been guarding the fiefdom as a member of the city guards. But this is not a long-term solution. It seems that it is time to organize a guard team on the fief side.
The number of people should not be too large, but they should be trained as servants. Of course, what the servants say to the outside world is that it is best to train a group of powerful private troops according to the training requirements of sergeants.
But Yunze knew that he must not train in the fiefdom. It was best to train in Longtou Mountain and then quietly send him back to the fiefdom. It seems that Han Long must handle this matter.
Yunze told Su Qianmo what he thought, and Su Qianmo nodded in agreement. She told Yunze that she would talk to Han Long.
Yunze, sisters Luo Yanniang and Su Qianmo stayed at home for a day and wrote a few more chapters of Journey to the West and Liaozhai.
Early the next morning, he went to one of the courtyards of the Ye family, where Miss Xian'er trained the girls. Eight days had passed, and he didn't know how the girls were training!
When we arrived at the courtyard, there was a burst of singing and the sound of musical instruments playing. In the garden deep in the courtyard, Yunze saw hundreds of people gathered here.
The huge courtyard can accommodate everyone, more than a hundred musicians, and more than a hundred girls, who are performing in an ensemble. Well done by all.
Miss Xian'er was watching, listening and nodding. After the song ended, she walked to the crowd, pointed out some people's mistakes, and praised some people.
Seeing her serious and responsible look, Yunze nodded, feeling grateful in his heart. This girl is a person of her word. The few poems and music scores I had were not given to me in vain.
Seeing Yunze coming, her face showed a joyful expression and she greeted him with a smile.
"Mr. Yun, I thought you had forgotten Xian'er..." There was a hint of resentment in her voice, and she looked at Yunze with a slightly resentful look in her eyes.
That delicate look made her look even more beautiful. Yunze's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and he almost lost his charm.
But he quickly recovered and covered up his embarrassment.
"Miss Xian'er was joking. I've been a little busy lately, but I've been neglecting it... I happen to have some free time today. How about I make a painting for Miss Xian'er!?"
If you want a horse to run fast, you have to give it grass to eat. People were working so hard to help him, and if Yunze didn't express his gratitude, he would really feel bad.
Miss Xian'er looked happy when she heard this. She had long heard that Yunze was a master of poetry and painting. I had always wanted to find an opportunity for Yunze to draw a painting for me. Unfortunately, there is no suitable opportunity.
She didn't expect that Yunze would bring it up on his own initiative, which saved her the need to ask for help. At this moment, she felt in her heart that the hard work these days had been worth it!
"Then Xian'er will be disrespected!" Xian'er smiled playfully at Yunze, a charming smile, Bai Meisheng! Very beautiful!
Xian'er looked at Yunze's suddenly absent-minded gaze, and felt a surge of proud joy in her heart. She pretended not to see it and called her subordinates Xiao Cui and Xiao Bing to continue training.
She and Yunze went to the pavilion nearby, and Yunze asked someone to bring a drawing board, paper and pen. While painting, Yunze asked the girls about the results of their training.
Miss Xian'er did not disappoint Yunze. These girls are completely ready to be sent out to perform. Of course, they may lack experience, and the performance may not go smoothly.
However, it is more than enough to cope with the opening of the restaurant. Just give her some more time to exercise. It's going to get better.
When Yunze finished painting a painting, Miss Xianer looked at herself in the painting as lifelike and even more beautiful. Her eyes were sparkling, and her gaze towards Yunze was even more intense.
Yunze was a little overwhelmed by her. He had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye. Xian'er originally wanted to retain Yunze, but when the words came to her lips, she took them back sadly.
After sending Yunze out of the courtyard, Xianer looked at his back and was speechless for a long time. His eyes were full of complexity.
After leaving the courtyard, Yunze came to Luo's house. At this time, Luo Qingcen was busy with the restaurant and was not at home.
When Luo Xuan saw Yunze, he quickly came up to him excitedly and put his arms around Yunze's shoulders. He opened his mouth and said, "Xian son-in-law, what do you think of your father-in-law treating you?"
Yunze was confused by Luo Xuan's words, but it was somewhat certain that the cheap father-in-law in front of him might have something to do with him.
"Uncle, look at what you said. Of course you are too kind to me! If uncle has anything to say, just say it!" Yunze said to Luo Xuan with a smile.
"In this case, let me tell you frankly, father-in-law, you are the one who created the newspaper that was published all over the world. Don't deny it to me. The advertisement on it is for the restaurant that Qingcen now runs, and there are also poems in the first issue. , Moreover, this matter can be found out by looking into it.”
Luo Xuan smiled and said to Yunze. Yunze was stunned. Outsiders knew that Ze was his, and there were probably not many people in the world. Yunze did not deliberately conceal this matter.
However, he didn't know what his cheap father-in-law wanted to say when he suddenly mentioned this!
Seeing that Yunze did not deny it, Luo Xuan continued: "Well, virtuous son-in-law, you... can you... show it to your father-in-law first? If you wait for your newspaper to be sent out, my father will ask for it." How long should I wait? I really...can’t wait!”
Luo Xuan said it with a bit of embarrassment on his face at the end.
Yunze looked at Luo Xuan blankly. He didn't expect that the other party would discuss the matter with him carefully just for this matter. However, it's a little funny to think about him.
My cheap father-in-law seems to be a poor man with no entertainment. With a status like his, there is definitely a lot of entertainment available.
Even if the entertainment was not good, it would not make him so enthusiastic about novels.
However, his performance also proved that Yunze's newspaper was absolutely successful. He could imagine what it would be like when the newspaper covered the entire Jing Dynasty.
"Now that uncle has spoken, my nephew will naturally not disappoint him... I will send someone to send you part of the manuscript later. However, I don't have much written now, but in the future, as long as I write it, it will be in the next chapter. I'll deliver it to you at once, uncle, do you think it's okay?"
Yunze smiled slightly at Luo Xuan. His cheap father-in-law is indeed a good person, and Yunze certainly cannot disappoint him. It's rare for the other party to ask for help once, and it's hard to refuse.
"The relationship is so good... You are worthy of being the son-in-law I like. Boy, just because of this, if Qingcen bullies you in the future, just tell your father-in-law and he will help you teach her a lesson!"
Luo Xuan patted Yunze's shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction.
When Yunze heard this, he looked embarrassed. He had no relationship with Luo Qingcen yet, but this old man made it seem like he and her daughter were in trouble. He smiled and shook his head and said:
"Uncle, if the restaurant opens tomorrow, please come and support us..."
He came here just because he wanted Luo Xuan to make a scene for him. It can be regarded as getting a protective shield for yourself. With Luo Xuan coming forward, who else in Danyang City would dare to touch Cen Ting Restaurant.
Even if he is causing trouble behind his back, he would never dare. Anyone who does this should also think about Luo Xuan's revenge.
"It's easy to say... It's easy to say! As a father, I will definitely go..." Luo Xuan was in a good mood and agreed one after another.
After Yunze said a few more words to him, he said goodbye and left. He was planning to go to Danyang County Prince's Mansion. He was busy these days, but he didn't see Song Rui for more than ten days.
The Danyang County Prince's Mansion was not far away. When Yunze came to the house, the housekeeper came out as soon as he received the notice.
"Master Yun, you are here... Your Majesty is in the backyard. The villain has already sent word. I will take you there right away." Butler Song Ren's face was full of enthusiasm. The tone was also extremely respectful.
Yunze nodded and smiled: "Then there is Robert Lao..."
His title made Song Ren's smile grow wider. He liked Yunze's humble attitude very much. Even though he was favored by the prince, he was not at all proud or domineering.
When they brought Yunze to the backyard of Danyang County Prince's Mansion, Danyang County Prince Song Rui was sipping tea. When he saw Yunze coming, his face showed a joy and he quickly waved to Yunze.
"My dear nephew, come and sit down! Why do you have time to come to my place today..." He spoke casually and looked at Yunze with eyes full of joy. At this time, he really regarded Yunze as his junior.
In fact, everything Yunze did made him look at Yunze with admiration. In Yunze, he seemed to see endless treasures.
With his own efforts, he was able to resettle the refugees in less than three months and even started his own business. Prince Danyang was not unhappy about this.
As long as the victims can be dealt with, it doesn't matter if Yunze uses this incident to expand his career. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to do what Yunze did.
He is willing to support those who are capable. Not to mention, Yunze's borrowing of his fiefdom was not in vain. He would pay rent every month, which was much better than if he had left the land idle.
He has made a profit. He didn't want the money, but he couldn't force Yunze to give it to him. Yunze was also embarrassed to use someone else's fief for nothing. No matter how good the relationship is, if it is too selfish. The relationship with others will also weaken.
"I just have some free time today, so I came to see my uncle. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I'm thinking about it!" Yunze walked over with a smile, and I still have to say that he is beautiful.
Moreover, Prince Danyang also liked to hear these words. A lonely old man, of course, wanted to be remembered. Concerned! Emotional dedication can definitely move people more than money sometimes.
Besides, Prince Danyang was really kind to him, and Yunze was not a heartless person.
"You kid, when did you learn to talk sweet words? But I'll use it! In the future... talk more..." Song Rui smiled and cursed at Yunze, his eyes full of love.
Yunze sat down, he poured a cup of tea for Yunze, and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, it's you who ran the newspaper that was published all over the world. You did a good job! Use the short storybook to mobilize popularity, and then use the popularity to convey what you want. Information. You are very discerning. Even before your restaurant opens, it is already famous in Danyang!"
"Haha... Sometimes I wonder how your brain is so long that you have so many fantastic ideas."
With a smile, Prince Danyang revealed the essence of Yunze Newspaper in one mouthful. He was worthy of being the leftist prime minister. Compared to others, he was able to see through the essence of the matter the first time.
When he said this, his expression suddenly became serious and he said: "Although newspapers are good things, my dear nephew, you should be careful and don't make any inappropriate comments in them, otherwise... I'm afraid you will get into trouble!"
There was a hint of exhortation in his voice. He also looked very serious. Obviously, he also saw the nature of newspaper opinion. The meaning of his advice was actually very simple. He hoped that Yunze would not publish articles that would touch the bottom line of the court.
If he arouses public opinion, he might be killed if he doesn't. After all, this was ancient times, and there was no freedom of speech once newspapers touched and threatened the ruler's position.
Both the newspaper and Yunze will face disaster. If the court wants to suppress it, all it needs to do is send troops.
Yunze had thought of this a long time ago. Of course, he would not do such a stupid thing. Even if he wanted to do it, he would have to do it cleanly.
The situation of newspapers only opens a gap in the public opinion model. If you want to use newspapers as a weapon of public opinion in the future, you don't need to use the name of Shangze Bei Tianxia.
It is absolutely feasible to create a newspaper and publication in a hidden way and use its name to create public opinion. The emergence of newspapers only made people accept this form of public opinion.
"My uncle taught me a lesson, and my nephew has taken note of it!" Yunze quickly replied.
"My nephew came here this time to invite my uncle to attend the opening ceremony tomorrow. I wonder if my uncle has time!" Yunze said to Prince Danyang straight to the point.
"Well, I have also heard about this. I will be there on time when the business opens tomorrow. You have solved the problem of the victims for me, so I still have to give you the face..." Danyang County Prince Song Rui said with a slight smile.
At this moment, Song Ren walked in from outside the door. He said to Prince Danyang: "Your Majesty, someone is coming from the capital..."
