At this time, the newly established printing shop. Wei Cheng had previously introduced Shengtou to movable type printing in advance. Although the time was tight, there was still no problem in printing a booklet.
After three days of hard work, the first batch of 2,000 copies of the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty" caused a sensation as soon as it was printed. Not only did many people read it, but many people bought it.
After many vendors saw the business opportunity, they followed the newsboy selling the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty", or simply paid a lot of money to contact the printing house through various methods, hoping to purchase the next batch of books.
Zhongtou was just a carpenter and hunter, and he had no knowledge of business, so he had no choice but to ask Wei Cheng for help. When Wei Cheng and others hurried over, the door of the printing shop was already crowded with people.
Wei Cheng walked through the crowd under the protection of Xu Chu and others. After entering the printing shop, he saw several stewards of the Wei family arguing fiercely.
"Second Master is here."
"I've met the Second Master." Wei Cheng nodded towards them, then looked at Chengtou and asked:
"What's the situation?" Zheng Tou looked innocent and pointed at the stewards of the Wei family and said:
"They asked for thousands of new books as soon as they arrived. They started arguing as they talked, and I couldn't hold them back." Wei Cheng frowned. The printing shop is one of his most important plans next. If Wei Cheng If the people of the clan dare to cause trouble here, he doesn't mind killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
At this time, one of the short and fat stewards, if Liu, Guan, and Zhang were here, would definitely find that this person had a relationship with them.
That's right, this short and fat steward is the fat steward of Wei's caravan that appeared in Youzhou, and he is quite famous in Youzhou.
"Second Master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We didn't mean to nag Master Hao. We were really pressed, so we came here just to show off." As he spoke, he tilted towards the door in a vague way. Eye.
Wei Cheng looked at the stewards in front of him calmly, thinking to himself, if they could become stewards of the Wei family, these people should not be from Meng Lang, and maybe there was something hidden in them.
After some thought, he whispered:
"Follow me." Wei Cheng gestured to them and took the lead into a warehouse used to store finished products.
Before entering the house, all the stewards nodded or waved to some people at the entrance of the courtyard. It was obvious that they were doing it for some people outside to see.
After entering the room, Wei Cheng sat down on a low table in a leisurely manner.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on?" The fat steward in charge bowed and said:
"The sales of Erye's Big Han Dragon and Tiger List are so good. If you make money, people will naturally be attracted by it. As he said that, he took out a stack of stickers from his arms and said:
"These are the orders we have received. In just half a day, the total number of purchases from various counties exceeded 10,000 copies, and
"And they have special requirements. Of course, money is not an issue." Another steward said. Wei Cheng looked at this person. The middle-aged steward bowed his hand, took out two pieces of paper from his arms, and said:
"Second Master, please take a look." Wei Cheng took it smoothly, unfolded the paper and browsed it roughly, and said with a smile:
"What does this mean? You want me to help him publish an autobiography? The middle-aged manager smiled, raised his hand and said:
"Yes and no, this man has a reputation as a chivalrous person in the green forest. Later, he relied on his reputation to start a business of escorting caravans. His main purpose was to protect various caravans from being robbed by bandits." Wei Cheng nodded, probably Know the other party's purpose.
Therefore, he smiled and said:
"Is it because he is not satisfied with the status quo and wants to expand the business?" The middle-aged manager looked stunned and thought to himself that he is indeed the second master. He then raised his hand and said:
"Yes, as the second master said, this person just wants to make his name through the Great Han Dragon and Tiger List printed by the second master. It would be best if he can get into the top ten. Money is not a problem." Wei Cheng chuckled and looked He ordered Xu Chu behind him:
"Send someone to try him. If his skills are good, you can agree to his request. As for the ranking, Wei Cheng looked at the middle-aged steward and said with a smile:
"The top ten prices are sky-high. I'm afraid he can't afford it." At the same time. Liu Bei met Zhang Fei after a long absence.
At this time, Zhang Fei happened to be watching the scene at the Wei family's mansion. When he saw two people walking in the door, one of them was Liu Bei, whom he hadn't seen for a month. He was so excited that he dropped the barbell in his hand and ran over.
The sound of thumping footsteps rushed towards him. Cao Cao, who was looking around curiously, was startled. He thought it was an assassin and almost ran back without raising his legs because their weapons and swords were confiscated at the city gate. He I have been cautious since entering the city.
Liu Bei had quick eyesight and quick hands. He first grabbed Cao Cao, and then yelled at Zhang Fei:
"Yide, don't be rude." Zhang Fei didn't care so much. He threw himself into Liu Bei's arms and shouted with tears in his eyes:
"Brother, I miss you so much." Cao Ca next to him felt a chill in his heart, remembering that he had lived with Liu Bei all the way, and his anus suddenly tightened.
Liu Bei was used to Zhang Fei's drunkenness, so he patted Zhang Fei on the back and said with emotion:
"Yes, I miss you too. Since you and I became sworn brothers, this is the longest time we have been apart. Brother, I miss you too. I can't sleep at night."
"Three people?" Cao Cao couldn't help but take two steps back. Liu Bei said curiously:
"By the way, where is Yun Chang?" Zhang Fei glanced at Cao Cao and said:
"Second brother is in Xia County, helping Third Master Wei defend the city." After Liu Bei heard this, he secretly murmured in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong. Speaking of which, besides running to Luoyang and having to separate, the second and third brothers also had to separate. They were no longer in the same place. Was it unintentional or was it because when Liu Bei lowered his head and thought, Cao Cao behind him couldn't wait to step forward and said:
"Xuande, it's better to visit Duke Wei first." Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of business. He hurriedly pulled Zhang Fei aside and asked in a low voice:
"Yide, brother, I have gained a lot from this trip south. His Majesty has decreed that I will fully cooperate with General Cao in recruiting new troops. If the plan goes well, the three of us brothers will at least become the supervisors and cavalry." Zhang Fei frowned slightly. , puzzled:
"The governor is just a small leader, with less than 10,000 troops under his command." Liu Bei's expression calmed down and he couldn't help but whisper:
"Yide, remember to aim high. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are not something we can covet now. Be careful that Cao Mengde hears about it. He will take the lead in this recruitment." Zhang Fei looked over Liu Bei's head and looked at Cao Cao, He said angrily:
"Just him?" Liu Bei hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fei's arm and warned:
"Listen, the futures of you and my three brothers all depend on this person. Don't offend him impulsively, otherwise my three brothers will waste a lot of time. Brother, I am already thirty this year."
"This. Zhang Fei always felt uncomfortable. Looking at Liu Bei in front of him, he frowned and asked:
"Brother, I don't understand. Didn't we agree that when you come back from Luoyang, you will go to the county recommended by the young master to be the county magistrate. I think Xia County is good, and my second brother happens to be there." Liu Bei heard this, He opened his mouth first, hesitated for a while, then raised his head and said:
"Yide, now a hundred thousand white wave troops are heading south towards Luoyang. The opportunity is only once. If you and I are successful in escorting them, wouldn't it be easy to get a county magistrate?" Zhang Fei stared at Liu Bei in front of him, frowning and sighing. road:
"Brother, change."
