Chapter 112: Treasure Trouble
Liu Ming was engaged in logistics in modern times, so after listening to Mi Zhu's statement, he really agreed with it. He even thought that a talent like Mi Zhu would be good even if he worked in modern times. But after listening, he actually heard
Mi Zhu said that there was a very bad way of doing business. He couldn't help but be curious and asked quickly: "Zizhong, what kind of way of doing business can cause you such trouble?"
Mi Zhu was asked by Liu Ming, and he also called himself by the first name to show his closeness. He was flattered and quickly said: "Back to my lord, before I came to Youzhou, I passed through various places and found that there is a
An organization called the 'Palace Supplies MLM Association' is said to be organized by the royal family. However, the items sold have no use value and are completely short-selling. They rely on collecting franchise fees from downline members to obtain huge profits.
If there is no one left to join the operation, the last group of people to join, which is also the largest group of people to join, will definitely suffer heavy losses. This is really an illegal strategy that harms the country and the people, especially now that the organization
It was established by the royal family, and unjust officials from various places used it as an excuse to impose excessive taxes and impose levies on the people, causing the people to live in dire straits and become miserable." Mi Zhu shed tears as she spoke, unable to speak any more.
.
Liu Ming secretly broke out in a cold sweat and murmured in his heart: I have really committed a crime this time. However, fortunately, the emperor Liu Hong has taken the blame for all these sins now. Even if I am beaten to death in the future, I will not be able to say anything.
The truth, otherwise, how could this be described as a tragic death? It would have meant that he would be infamy throughout the ages.
Liu Ming was frightened and sweating profusely when he heard this, but Guo Jia felt so beautiful after listening to Mi Zhu's words. God is really helping my lord, that unscrupulous king, to come up with such a money-making strategy that is harmful to the country and the people. How can this country be?
Can there be no chaos? As long as the world becomes chaotic, my lord can fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos, so that I can show my talents. Thinking about it, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing out loud with a smile on his face.
At this time, Liu Ming was worrying about the catastrophic disaster he had inadvertently committed. When he heard Guo Jia's laughter and saw Guo Jia's smile, he couldn't help but wonder: Is there any benefit to this pyramid scheme? Otherwise, Guo Jia would be like this
What are you laughing at? Liu Ming, hoping against hope, asked Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao, this 'pyramid sales association for palace supplies' is an organization that brings disaster to the country and the people, and makes money by extorting money. All the people are poisoned by it. It does a hundred harms but no benefit at all."
We all cry when we hear it, feel sad when we hear it, feel the impermanence of the world, and worry about the misfortunes of the people, but why do you laugh? Is there anything useful about this 'pyramid sales meeting for palace supplies'?"
Guo Jia smiled mysteriously and said: "My lord, this 'Palace Supplies MLM' organization is indeed of no use. But our country was already in turmoil, and now there is such an organization, amassing money. Then the people
It was originally a life of ten rooms and nine empty spaces, but this time it will be even worse. This troubled world is probably coming."
Yang Jun heard the song and knew the elegant meaning. He immediately understood it and said with a smile: "Yes. This troubled time is coming. We should really smile." This troubled time is what Yang Jun has been looking forward to for a long time. Now that Guo Jia has pointed it out, Yang Jun
I couldn't hold back the excitement in my heart anymore and said it with a smile.
At this time, everyone in the hall who understood Yang Jun's intentions also laughed excitedly.
And those who seem to understand but not understand, the Mi brothers and others also have some understanding, but since they have been tied to Liu Ming's chariot, there is nothing to say. On the contrary, it is better this way.
If so, their future prospects will be even brighter. Thinking of this, these people also laughed.
Liu Ming was laughed at by Guo Jia and Yang Jun, as well as everyone, and he didn't understand. Liu Ming secretly cursed Yang Jun and Guo Jia, these two guys are old and cunning, and treat the people of the world as if they are nothing. But Liu Ming
Mingde couldn't help but have a trace of hope in his heart. At the same time, he couldn't help but think: If this troubled times comes, the pyramid scheme will definitely not continue. If by chance he dominates the world, he will just legislate by himself and define pyramid schemes as
Illegal organizations, pyramid schemes will naturally not become a tool that harms the world. Thousands of years later, if someone engages in pyramid schemes again, our people will also be on guard. When Liu Minggang thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being delusional,
Now, as a local emperor, don’t I act well? Why do I have to look for trouble when I’m not sick? I want to dominate the world. There are so many heroes in this era, can I handle it all by myself? This is still the case.
Just take one step at a time and see.
At this time, Guo Jia suggested to Liu Ming: "My lord, these Mi brothers are indeed proficient in internal affairs and have talents in governing the country, which can be put to great use. Now they brothers have presented this treasure of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals"
The book can enrich our collection of books in Youzhou and expand our ideas for governing the country in Youzhou. It will be a great contribution to our Youzhou. My lord can appoint Zizhong as Dongcao's governor and Zifang as Dongcao's vassal."
Liu Ming was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Guo Jia would attach so much importance to the Mi brothers and recommend them to a higher official position than Su Shuang, who had made many contributions. That's why this "Lu Spring and Autumn" is so useful.
Liu Ming couldn't help but asked hesitantly: "Fengxiao, although these Mi brothers have made great achievements in offering treasures and are also talented, they have just arrived and they serve above Su Gongcao. Do you think this is appropriate?"
Before Guo Jia could answer, Cai Yong, Liu Ming's old father-in-law, heard that the treasure presented by the Mi brothers turned out to be "Lu's Spring and Autumn", and he exclaimed: "My virtuous son-in-law, it turns out that this treasure presented by the Mi brothers is
His treasure turned out to be "Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals". In this way, it is not an exaggeration to let Zizhong serve as Dong Cao. You must know that this is the treasure book of our ancestors and a priceless treasure. Su Gongcao only did it for me.
Youzhou just earns a little more money and silk. For us in Youzhou, this little money is not much if we have it, but not much if we don't have it. A gentleman despises wealth but values righteousness. How can such a treasure of scriptures and meanings be comparable to mere money?
"
Cai Yong's words were recognized by everyone present. Of course, except for the military commanders, but the military commanders did not want to appear to be a person who valued money more than the books of sages, so of course they remained silent and had no objection.
There really isn't much to say about what Liu Ming means as a person. This may be what his game-fan buddies often said when he was in modern times: "The political power of "Lu's Spring and Autumn" is +7, and the contribution is
+500.'
As a result, the official positions of the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were decided. Liu Ming announced that the official business was over, and would later hold a banquet to congratulate the Mi brothers on their joining. But as soon as Liu Ming finished speaking, Cai Yong couldn't wait.
He asked Mi Zhu: "Zizhong, where is the "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" you presented? I can go and get it on your behalf."
Mi Zhu felt the kindness of Cai Yong just now, and from what Cai Yong said just now, he knew that Cai Yong was the father-in-law of his lord Liu Ming, so he did not dare to neglect and said: "My lord, the gift from my two brothers is
The treasure book has been brought, and it is up to Master Fu to pick it up."
Cai Yong asked with some surprise: "Zizhong, "Lü Shi Chun Qiu" is a huge work, and it would take more than a dozen carts to transport it. How did you carry it?"
Seeing Cai Yong's question, Mi Zhu thought in the wrong direction and said: "Back to your lord. As you can see, the original text of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" is huge. My ancestors spent two generations collecting this book, and there are two libraries of books, such as
It takes more than a dozen carts to carry it. But when Liu Taiwei was making paper, my brothers had already ordered people to copy all the bamboo books and wooden slips into a book. Now we have brought them with us for Liu Taiwei to make.
Your Excellency is watching. As for the original book, my two brothers went back and ordered it to be burned, ensuring that only one copy of this book will be with Mr. Liu Taiwei."
When Cai Yong heard this, he hurriedly stopped him and said: "It can't be burned. It can't be burned. The hard work of the predecessors can be burned. This book should be copied more for the world to share. How can it destroy the original work?"
Mi Zhu bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your teaching. I know I was wrong."
Cai Yong smiled and nodded, then turned to Liu Ming and said, "My dear son-in-law, can you borrow this "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" from me and copy it?"
Liu Ming doesn't care much about this. Since Cai Yong is willing to copy, just copy it for him. If his little Yanyan is happy because her father has fulfilled his wish, it will be very good for her pregnancy mood.
So, Liu Ming nodded in agreement and said casually: "As long as the father-in-law is happy, there is no harm in taking it."
But when Liu Ming said this, Guo Jia and Yang Jun next to them couldn't help but feel a little itchy about the book "Lu's Spring and Autumn" when they saw that Liu Ming was so easy to talk to.
Yang Jun was the first to say: "My lord, Master Cai cannot copy this set of "Lu's Spring and Autumn" at the same time. Can I also borrow some parts and copy them?"
Liu Ming heard what Yang Jun said made sense. Since Cai Yong couldn't copy them all at once, and Yang Jun liked the old man, it wouldn't be a big deal to ask Yang Jun to copy some of them. But Liu Ming just wanted to agree, and still
Before he had time to say anything, Guo Jia also spoke: "My lord, Jia has admired this "Lu's Spring and Autumn" for a long time, but has never been able to read the whole book. Now that I have such an opportunity, I really hope that my lord can lend it to Jia to read and read.
Jie Jia’s wish.”
When Liu Ming saw Guo Jia joining in the fun, he thought it was quite interesting. It seemed that this book was quite powerful. Anyway, there were so many volumes of this book and it was enough for them to share, so he let them take turns.
Take a good look.
But before Liu Ming could say anything, Cai Yong looked at Yang Jun and Guo Jia came to share his book and read it. If his son-in-law agreed and other people came to do the same, how could he enjoy reading this book?
Cai Yong didn't care about anything else, but books, music, etc. were definitely his restricted area. At that moment, Cai Yong said displeasedly: "Mr. Yang, Fengxiao, what do you mean?
This book, my good son-in-law, has been given to me for copying. Things come first, first served. Of course, I will finish copying this book before you can borrow it. It is said that a gentleman does not take away from others. What is the reason for your behavior?
"
Guo Jia and Yang Jun looked at each other, they had the same mind, and they each said in their hearts: If they lend it to Cai Yong for copying, how long will he have to copy so many books? Isn't this a waste of occupying precious books?
Yang Jun smiled at Cai Yong and said: "Master Bozhe, this treasure book was presented to the lord by the Mi brothers. It is the treasure of Youzhou. How can one person monopolize this book? And you, with your eyes and hands,
How can we copy these many books at the same time? Why not if I borrow some of them and copy them?"
Guo Jia also said: "Mr. Cai, the value of this treasure book is that it is a good strategy for governing the country. If it cannot be understood and applied, and it is just for viewing, wouldn't it be a waste of the efforts of the predecessors and a waste of this country?"
The value of precious books.”
Cai Yong was speechless by Yang Jun and Guo Jia, and could only sulk.
Good guy. When Liu Ming took a look at it, he saw that it was quite good. Isn’t it just a broken book? Those close to him were about to pinch him. Liu Ming quickly dissuaded him and said: "Everyone, you are all my ghosts."
How can the important ministers of the state argue about this book? I will leave this book here for now until I print it out and give each of you a copy."
When Yang Jun, Cai Yong, and Guo Jia saw it, they thought it was a success this time and no one wanted to think about it. However, these three people were all very curious about the printing Liu Ming mentioned.
Guo Jia asked: "Lord, what is printing? How could he make us all have a copy of "Lu's Spring and Autumn"?"
Yang Jun and Cai Yong also looked at Liu Ming with curiosity.
Only then did Liu Ming realize that he seemed to have said the wrong thing again. Paper in this era had only been used for a short time, and printing technology might not have been born yet. However, since he had already said it, he could only explain it clearly to them.
, there should be nothing wrong with speeding up the historical process a little. Just like making iron, steel, and cement by yourself, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. So Liu Ming sorted out his thoughts and followed what he knew about printing.
Knowledge concluded: "This printing is something I just accidentally thought of. Since we can transfer the words on the bamboo slips to paper and staple them into books, why can't we engrave these words into plates and print them in batches?
Where are the books?"
When Guo Jia heard this, his eyes lit up and he said: "My lord is really smart. He is a reincarnation of heaven and man. He can hear one thing and know three things. It is rare in the world. Since we can engrave seals, seals, and stamp official documents, of course we can also
The words in the books can be carved into plates and books can be printed."
Yang Jun also added: "It's really wonderful. We didn't have paper before, so we could only carve books on bamboo wood. Now that we have the paper made by the Lord, of course we can make books."
Even Ma Jun said: "My lord, this method is like the method of stacking copper coins. With one mold, thousands of copper coins can be cast."
Liu Ming really didn't expect that these ancients could understand printing so quickly. However, according to what Guo Jia and others said, printing should be based on the principle of seals in the use of paper. But now
Chapter completed!
