In the early years of the imperial dynasty, Nanjing was the capital. Emperor Taizongwen built the city of Beijing after the Emperor Taizongwen was in trouble. However, during the imperial court, he sometimes wanted to return to the south. Then, under Emperor Xuanzongzhang, it was officially decided to make Beijing the capital and no longer return to the south.
The Xuanzong Dynasty has only lasted for more than fifty years. People can easily move and things can be moved easily, but culture cannot be moved so easily.
Taking the printing industry as an example, it is mainly concentrated in the southern region where literary styles flourish, especially in places like Nanjing, Suzhou, and Jianyang, while the capital is still a little behind.
In Fang Yingwu's eyes, Mr. Yao Qian and Yao went north with a large number of engravings and some skilled craftsmen, preparing to show off their talents in the capital. This can be regarded as a visionary and pioneering act.
There are no tigers in the mountains now. If everything goes well, Zhongyi Bookstore, which has strong technical strength, may become the leader of the printing industry in the capital and the northern region.
This is a very good channel for public opinion. With Fang Yingwu's knowledge, of course you will not fail to notice the benefits. This is also the most important reason why he actively cooperates with Yao Qian.
The benefits of having such a free ride are obvious. In fact, he is about to achieve the win-win results he wants.
After the anthology of eight-part essays is published, it will be a trivial matter how much you make, but if you let your tomorrow's song and preface spread, it will not be a problem to raise your reputation as a scholar by at least one level.
Therefore, Yao Qian must be rescued, no matter from the perspective of fellow countrymen's feelings or personal interests. He cannot just sit back and ignore it, otherwise all his previous actions will be in vain.
Fang Yingwu thought for a moment and then asked Zhang, "Have they ever asked for money?"
Mrs. Zhang was still crying, "Those people were so loud that they asked for five hundred taels if they left a message. My master opened a new bookshop a while ago and invested all his money in it. It has only been a few days and I haven't made a few taels back. How can it be like this?"
There is a lot of money available for embezzlement.”
It seemed that the road of losing money and eliminating disasters was unworkable, so Fang Yingwu had no choice but to turn his attention to Fang Yingshi again: "Brother Shitou, it's still up to you to take action."
Fang Yingshi tensed up, and then heard Fang Yingwu say again: "I will write a letter to Mr. Shang of Dongchang and deliver it tomorrow. If he is really interested in you, he should give you this face."
Fang Yingshi said with a bitter face: "Brother Qiu, do you want to send the sheep into the tiger's mouth?"
Fang Yingwu encouraged: "Mr. Yao is in such a catastrophic situation. Friends should sacrifice their lives to save him! This is the right way for people!"
Fang Yingshi slapped his chest hard and said solemnly: "Brother Qiu is talking about loyalty to his friends. Naturally, I can't hold him back. I will sell myself to save him. Don't worry! What is this called? Yi Bo Yuntian!"
Fang Yingwu smiled and said: "I think you are still eager to give it a try. After all, there are dozens of beauties waiting for you. This may only happen once in your life."
"Brother Qiu, you said that if you can't resist things in life, just close your eyes and enjoy them."
Fang Yingwu wrote a letter overnight, explaining the matter and imploring Eunuch Shang to show his respect to Mr. Yao. The next day, early in the morning, Fang Yingwu urged Fang Yingshi to deliver the letter.
Letting go of a kidnapped wealthy businessman is a trivial matter for Eunuch Shang, and most of the people below will do it first. For the sake of sending a stallion to the door, Eunuch Shang should not reject it because of face.
Thinking more deeply, the situation in the capital is so complicated and completely different from the local area. It is useless to hate evil as much as hatred and to be aloof. Being able to secretly form a good relationship with Shang Ming is not a bad thing.
And he himself left the clubhouse and headed to Zhongyi Bookstore in the northwest. Something happened to Yao Qian, and as a friend, he should show his face.
After getting off the sedan chair and sending the bearer away, Fang Yingwu looked up and saw that the wide five-bay facade of Zhongyi Bookstore was still the same facade. It was just that it was sparsely populated, and occasionally pedestrians passed by.
Inside the threshold, in the middle of the place where the sun does not shine, sat a fierce-looking man. This man was dressed in a tight-fitting dress, with long sleeves and arrow sleeves. A willow waistband was deliberately hanging in the air around his waist, and it was obviously dangling.
People in the capital who are knowledgeable can tell that such a person is either a Jinyiwei official or a Dongchang fan. He can hide as far away as possible. With such a figure blocking the door with an evil expression, who would dare to come in and find him easily?
trouble?
Shopkeeper Yu was helpless. He nodded and bowed and said with a smile: "This leader Yang, could you please move a few steps and drink tea in the cool place behind?"
"I think it's very cool here!" Fanzi, who is called Leader Yang, is a small boss of the East Factory, and his official title is Captain.
Shopkeeper Yu cursed a few words in his heart. Although the master was arrested, the business must be maintained first. With Uncle Yang blocking the door, who would come in to read? But he could only continue to apologize and said with a smile: "Look at the sun,
It’s going to be very hot here soon and it won’t be cool anymore.”
Leader Yang didn't even raise his eyelids, "I wonder where Miss Zhang has gone? If she is willing to come out and chat with her for a few words, there is no harm in moving to another place."
At this time, Fang Yingwu was standing outside the door. When he heard this, he understood something. No wonder there were so many people in the bookstore, and they decided to send Zhang, a Taoist woman, to report the news to him. The reason was to avoid this fan's entanglement and teasing.
.
Seeing that Boss Yang was talking more and more outrageously, Fang Yingwu shouted: "Shopkeeper Yu!" In the past few days, he had been dealing with Shopkeeper Yu a lot in order to publish a book, and they were already familiar with each other.
Shopkeeper Yu hurriedly came up to greet him, and Fang Yingwu expressed his position: "Mr. Yao is in trouble, and as a friend from my hometown, it is my duty to do my best to save him!"
Over there, Leader Yang heard Fang Yingwu's nonsense and sneered: "You young man really doesn't know how powerful you are, how dare you take care of our Dongchang's affairs!"
He was obviously a very scary person, but Fang Yingwu could not bring himself to fear him. After all, he had just talked and laughed with Mr. Dongchangchang yesterday, and now that he saw such "low-level" talk, he really didn't feel anything.
Fang Yingwu stepped into the threshold and said to Leader Yang who was blocking the door: "A good dog doesn't block the way."
Bang! Leader Yang slapped the armrest angrily, stood up suddenly, and scolded: "You don't know how to live or die! I think you are Yao Qian's accomplice in publishing banned books. Come with me to the East Factory!"
Fang Yingwu said calmly: "I just came out of Dongchang yesterday and went to the factory's mansion to drink a few glasses of wine. You might as well ask the factory owner if you still invite me to Dongchang today? Maybe in a while,
The superiors ask you to let Mr. Yao go."
Leader Yang felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him when he heard the word "factory master", and his face was filled with surprise and uncertainty. This man wouldn't tell such a lie that could be easily exposed and could easily lead to disaster? If so,
How could he possibly offend someone who could go to the factory owner's mansion to drink?
At this moment, another man ran up to Leader Yang panting: "Factory, the factory boss has sent word that we should let this guy named Yao go!"
Leader Yang was horrified. Is this young man really telling the truth? He didn't even bother to speak and hurriedly followed his men away.
Watching Dongchang Fanzi disappear at the corner of the street, shopkeeper Yu knelt down with a pop, and the other party responded: "My Yao family has suffered such a disaster, and others around me are afraid of Dongchang and hesitate to move forward. I thought there was no luck this time. Unexpectedly, Mr. Fang’s righteousness saved people from fire and water. Please accept my worship!"
Ah, in addition to being a loyal minister and a filial son, can you also be called a righteous man? Fang Yingwu didn't expect that shopkeeper Yu would be so generous. He hurriedly helped him up and said, "How can you be dishonest if you are a friend of others?"
The two were about to continue talking when they saw a servant from the guild hall coming over. The other party reported: "There is someone in the guild hall looking for you, related to your father's affairs!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, novels are better. Update faster!)
