Chapter 97 Prestige

The female assassin "intimidated" Han Jian in her unique way, leaving an address ten miles away from the city for Han Jian to send the person, and then jumped out of the window. Han Jian ordered the guards to let go, but the guards did not stop or chase the person. When the female assassin left, Han Jian breathed a little relieved. It was not a good thing for a rioter to stay in his mansion.

"Jian'er, what happened?" Han Jian came out of the outer hall and saw Jiu Niang, Han Zhao, come back from outside. Han Zhao went out in the morning until the afternoon. Han Jianxin said that fortunately Jiu Niang didn't know that the female rioter came here to make trouble, otherwise, with Han Zhao's attitude towards life, he would definitely not let others go easily. Maybe he would directly take down the female assassin and hand it over to the queen for justice.

"Jiu Niang, it's okay. A guest came to see him off. You have been out for so long and haven't had lunch, right? I'll ask someone to prepare meals for you." Han Jian said with a smile.

Han Zhao frowned slightly, obviously not believing what Han Jian said. She glanced at Zhang Xing and Sima Jie next to her, and without looking at it, she went straight to the inner courtyard. When the others left, Han Jian told Zhang Xing and Sima Jie a few words, so that they were not allowed to disclose the matter to Han Zhao.

"Young Master, even Your Majesty knows this. Don't you plan to tell the princess of the county?" Sima asked.

"Let's just say nothing, just say nothing." Han Jian was still a little impatient, mainly because he had a "spy" around him, and he couldn't figure out who the person who informed the Queen was.

Han Jian did not plan to stay in the Dongwang Mansion Villa for a long time, nor did he plan to go to the office office to hold a seat. He remembered Gu Xiner's appointment in the afternoon and was about to go and listen to other people's seats and discuss.

Han Jian was about to go out when the guards came to report that someone had submitted a visit to the post. Han Jian only realized that it was Mrs. Luo who was present in person after reading the visit.

"The woman from Xiliang is here again. Will we say hello?" Sima Zhi asked for instructions.

Han Jian said: "See. I was in a hurry yesterday and I didn't discuss many things in detail. I have to make it clear when I come here."

Regarding Mrs. Luo's issue, Han Jian's position was very clear. Since he had taken over Mrs. Luo's relationship, he had to make good use of it. Although he could not use the Xiliang Restoration Army behind Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Luo's connections and commercial channels in the capital must be used first. The matter of his opening of the Three Kingdoms Bookstore to Luoyang City has not been implemented, which is an opportunity.

When opening a bookstore, Han Jian not only made money for business, but more importantly, Wei Dynasty did not have strict control over the "publishing industry". With Han Jian's mind that was hundreds or thousands of years ahead, he could realize how crucial the publishing industry played in controlling social public opinion.

Mastering the "mouth tongue" means taking the initiative in public opinion war.

Han Jian still met Mrs. Luo in the outer hall. This time Mrs. Luo did not come with Daxiliu, but just brought a smart woman with a butler. A female businessman with a mysterious background like Mrs. Luo always had a spy around her. Han Jian thought that Mrs. Luo probably didn't want Mrs. Luo to let the old subordinates of Xiliang know that she is now serving the second master.

"Please pay tribute to Your Highness." When we arrived at the outer hall, only Han Jian and Mrs. Luo were left. Mrs. Luo leaned over and saluted, as if she was kneeling down. Han Jian held her and didn't let her kneel.

"Madam, please be polite." Han Jian said with a little bit of the master's dignity, "Sit down."

"Your Highness Xie." Mrs. Luo did not look up at Han Jian, but did not rush to sit in front of the chair. She sat down in a hurry until Han Jian sat down. Han Jian could see that most of Mrs. Luo's respectful appearance was disguised. In Mrs. Luo's heart, she might not respect him much. She surrendered was only temporarily forced by the situation.

If you do not establish your authority, you will not be able to convince the public.

"I heard that the court had rescued the third prince, and the private woman came to see what the young master had to do." Mrs. Luo said directly.

Han Jian heard two meanings from her opening remarks. One was to come to seek credit. Yesterday, Mrs. Luo used Yang Yu's hiding place as a condition for surrender, and then Yang Yu was rescued with the credit of Mrs. Luo's secret help. Second, Mrs. Luo made a "help at any time" attitude, which was also to show her sincerity in surrendering.

The implication is that Mrs. Luo can't think of anything to help Han Jian, nor can she think of what Han Jian needs to do. She just put on a stance and went through the motions.

Han Jian thought, this old woman is quite cunning.

Han Jian said: "I want to open a bookstore in the capital. I wonder if my wife may help me?"

"Bookstore?" Mrs. Luo was slightly stunned. She never expected that the first thing Han Jian asked her to do was to open a bookstore. There is no movable type printing at present. Books usually come from official large-scale engravings, and most folk books are handwritten. It is not uncommon to open a book account and sell books, but it is rare to open a bookstore to print books.

"Why, my wife can't help?" Han Jian's expression became a little cold.

Mrs. Luo quickly expressed respectfully: "Your Highness has given instructions, and all the women in the civilian state follow. I wonder why Your Highness opens a bookstore......"

There is actually no need for Han Jian to explain anything to Mrs. Luo. Now he is the master and Mrs. Luo is a servant. But the two sides have just established this relationship, Mrs. Luo must have a two-minded heart. What he has to do is to gradually let Mrs. Luo listen to his orders alone.

"Originate the bookstore to print books. I wonder if Mrs. Luo has heard of the book of the Three Kingdoms?"

Mrs. Luo said, "I heard it myself."

"This Three Kingdoms was published from my Jiangdu City. I don't think I need to say it bluntly, my wife should know who published this book, right?"

Mrs. Luo nodded respectfully, but her heart was shocked. The famous Three Kingdoms in the world were actually printed by this young little prince in front of her? What is the relationship between the original author "Luo Guanzhong" and the Eastern King?

Han Jian said: "This time I opened a bookstore, the main ones that were published are not the original works of the Three Kingdoms, but the comic strips of the Three Kingdoms. I will ask someone to give you the manuscript and find someone to help you carve the stereotypes. In this regard, I will not treat you badly, and you will have a copy of the money you earn."

Mrs. Luo quickly said, "I dare not make any plans for the young master."

"If you don't make money, how can you maintain the huge expenses of the former Xiliang subordinates?" Han Jian smiled coldly, "I don't want your money, I just ask you to help me do things well. If I do it well, I will help you and get what you need in the future."

After Han Jian finished speaking, he was in a hurry to go to Cuiyang Tower to make an appointment, so he asked Sima Zhi to greet Mrs. Luo, while he left the Eastern Prince's Mansion.

Han Jian's actions also have a meaning, letting Mrs. Luo know that he has a stubborn air. Although he doesn't like to show off, he has to show off in front of Mrs. Luo. The master without stubborn will not get the trust of the servants. Han Jian is very clear about the truth that people are good and deceived.

When Han Jian arrived at Cuiyang Tower, he thought there should be many young men and girls gathered here, but when he arrived, he realized that Cuiyang Tower was a little deserted. Jing'er and Gu Xin'er were sitting at the tea table on the first floor to entertain a few girls in Confucian uniforms. Seeing this deserted environment, he did not intend to hold a conference on Taoism.

Han Jian thought, was it because he was late and the discussion was over?

"Xin'er, there is something wrong in my house. It's a little late. You guys..." Han Jian looked at the fellow sisters of Gu Xin'er in Cuiyanglou. There were seven or eight people. Their appearance was not beautiful but they were also pretty. Everyone was wearing Confucian clothes, very clean, and they could not tell the good or bad of their family background. But each of them was holding a comic book of the Three Kingdoms, and a few of them didn't look up at him even when they heard a guest coming.

Gu Xiner came over and said apologetically: "Forgive me, young master. We were going to gather here to discuss the truth, but we learned at noon that some of our fellow disciples and fellow disciples came from Shangqing Palace, and our fellow disciples in Luoyang all came over to welcome these fellow disciples. This time the discussion... can only be cancelled."

Han Jian knew that Shangqing Palace was a place for practicing Taoism, just like a "Taoist Academy". It has a fixed holiday for more than one month every year. At the moment when spring and summer meet, Gu Xiner went home to visit her relatives on holidays. As for the discussion, some disciples of Shangqing Palace who were on holiday gathered together to engage in "holiday activities". This holiday activity was deviated. The main reason was that the "sir" in Shangqing Palace came to Luoyang City for some reason, and some disciples went to welcome the gentleman.

"Xin'er, why don't you go?" Han Jian asked with a smile.

"If you have an appointment with the young master, you have to make it clear." Gu Xin'er smiled shyly, "In addition, the uncles and uncles who came here this time are all disciples of Wuzong of our Shangqing Palace. Xin'er has never liked those things about dancing swords and swords."

Han Jian smiled, Gu Xiner was a quiet and good girl.
