Chapter 482: Talks sparked by the monthly magazine
The emperor was so happy after receiving Jiang Xingchen's letter! A large-scale destructive weapon like a grenade is too important to the empire, and he would be unwilling to accept it if he could not control it. However, the trigger and delay devices inside the grenade have very high accuracy requirements.
Gao, the craftsmen could not do anything that meets the requirements. The price of forcing Jiang Xingchen to be paid is too high.
Now, Jiang Xingchen finally handed over the tools. As for what the boy said, he didn't believe it at all.
When the marshal received the news, he was happy and breathed a sigh of relief. This grenade was like a chasm between the Emperor and Jiang Xingchen. If Jiang Xingchen kept controlling and not handing over it, there would be big problems sooner or later.
.
Now, the Empire can make it on its own. As long as you, Jiang Xingchen, don’t pass on this tool, everything will be easy. Even if the emperor has any opinions about you, he will not touch you easily.
Although the marshal breathed a sigh of relief, he knew in his heart that the emperor had now integrated the conservative forces and the middle forces, and Jiang Xingchen's role as the benchmark had been completed. In addition, this kid was always disobedient and wanted to have a great reward like before in the future,
It's difficult.
The facts were the same as the Marshal thought. After the Emperor received the vernier caliper, he gave a reward that seemed good to outsiders and directly promoted Jiang Xingchen to a first-class earl. However, his territory never expanded again.
The old marquis, marshal, Feng Xuanzhang and others shook their heads secretly. In this way, when the autumn harvest is over, Jiang Xingchen's contribution to improving grain crops will be at most a third-class marquis. He will not reward him in other aspects.
The Emperor's reward soon reached Xingchen's leader, but Jiang Xingchen did not react much after hearing this. He watched the incident of dead rabbits and dead dogs cooking birds and hiding their bows in his previous life. He also called the Emperor several times.
, The Emperor's reaction is so normal.
The people in Xingchen Leader were very dissatisfied when they learned about it. They had been used to expanding their territory and promoting their titles. This time they only gave them a short title, and the taxes and other things were not reduced. If they were
It's strange to be satisfied.
Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and turned around to persuade everyone: "The current territory cannot be built. If you want to expand, there are 80% of the surrounding hills and barren mountains. There are still 80% undeveloped!"
Although Jiang Xingchen said this, he was certain that he was unhappy. Although he understood that his achievements were so great that he was shocked by the master. The rewards were beyond recognition, which made the emperor taboo. But it was still difficult for him to accept the fact that the matter really happened to him.
The territory has not been expanded in the past two or three years, but it is still far from the area of its ideal metropolis.
After persuading everyone, Jiang Xingchen curled a sneer on his lips: "It is enough to wait for the autumn harvest to rise. The third-class marquis already has the right to promote the civilians in the territory to nobles... As for the land, one day in the future, the emperor will
Given to me personally..."
This matter is like an inconspicuous wave in Xingchen Ling. When it comes to a slight wave, it will calm down. Jiang Xingchen has also re-entered his busy work.
Xingchen Monthly is very popular, so Jiang Xingchen of course has to continue to increase the investment. Seeing that Jue Shi was determined to do so, Grandpa Fu could not dissuade him, so he could only try to mobilize as many people as possible to help copy.
At this time, it is the busy spring plowing time, and you can imagine how nervous the Xingchen Leader is. Not to mention this. Due to the popularity of Xingchen Monthly and the publicity of tourists, the number of Xingchen Leader not only did not decrease due to spring plowing, but instead, there was a
The trend of increasing is always for the amusement park.
As a result, the Xingchen Leader's staff was even more difficult, and almost everyone was busy. The job of recruiting people became more urgent.
On the last day of April, the three Starlings cooperative businesses in the imperial capital, including Qiyue Lord City, Lanyin Lord City, and the imperial capital, sent messages to the outside almost at the same time.
"The second batch of the first issue of the Xingchen Monthly has arrived, and the quantity is limited..."
Many people didn't buy it last time, and they felt very sorry. They didn't lend it to those who bought it, and they didn't give it to them. What are the baby's and what is it? Especially some fans of Bauhinia, who asked everywhere about anyone who was willing to sell the first monthly issue, all of them
Let go of the wind and be willing to buy it at twice the price.
Now that the first issue of the Star Monthly magazine has arrived again, they naturally won’t miss this opportunity. Just half a month after the three shops released the news, the vegetable market became a vegetable market, which was so lively.
The owners of the three shops were so happy that their mouths were tilted. Although the profits of the monthly magazine were a small amount of money for Xingchenling, it was amazing for them. The share of tens of thousands of yellow crystal coins would take several months for their shops to make money.
come out.
In the following days, the Star Monthly magazine became popular. People initially cared about the amusement park and bought the monthly magazine only if they wanted to know the details. But at some point, the topic of the monthly magazine itself exceeded the discussion of amusement parks.
They all know that Jiang Xingchen is both promoting and selling money. But everyone is willing to pay for it. This is what Jiang Xingchen has done.
On the other hand, look at the overwhelming publicity that Anyang Kite Garden opened. Only then did they understand why Jiang Xingchen did not fight back at that time, did not promote the game park, but opened quietly.
Compared with the two, Anyang is like a funny guy. I don’t know who invited him. Jiang Xingchen was just in need of a monkey to attract attention, but they jumped out.
"Jiang Xingchen is amazing, too dark. I said that Anyang was so obvious that he didn't stand up. He had been holding back his feelings for such a move. Now the Star Monthly is only put into three territories, if it were the production of others
Go up, invest in the whole country, or even abroad, and make a lot of money."
"Who said no! Not only does it make money, but it saves even the cost of publicity. It's so much worse for one round and one round!"
"How could those lords of conservative and middle-level forces secretly support Anyang? As a result, Jiang Xingchen was fooled by him. He helped Xingchen leader with this monthly magazine in vain!"
"There are also the Sabi in Anyang who was still very aggressive at that time. But now, it was bought by Jiang Xingchen and he even received a few money for Xingchen! If it weren't for them, Xingchen Monthly would never have been so popular!"
"Let's study it too? Jiang Xingchen's method is worth imitating!"
"Take it down, do you think this thing is so easy to work with! That is, the Xingchen Collar, and it also caught up with the provocation of Anyang Kite Garden, which attracted the interest of most people. If we do it, who is crazy about spending such a expensive price
Buy your promotion..."
Such discussions are the most published places in the imperial capital, Lanyin Main City, and Qiyue Lord City in three months. The nobles and wealthy businessmen are lamenting Jiang Xingchen's ability to make money. How did he think of such an idea? Why didn't he think of it?
Those who were shocked by Jiang Xingchen's methods were also the lords who fueled the fire when Anyang Kite Park opened. No one expected that his actions at that time would be helped by Jiang Xingchen. I couldn't mention the aggrievance in my heart.
Now they are unwilling to go out. Even if they receive invitations from other lords, they all use the excuse that they cannot live without the busy spring farming. They are afraid that they will be laughed at to death. Jiang Xingchen is too dark, and they themselves don’t know why they were surrounded.
Has he lived in vain for most of his life? He let a young boy play with him in the applause.
They were depressed, so naturally some people gloat. After hearing the talk outside, Dingbei Hou, the commander of the Eighth Army, couldn't help laughing: "I'll just say, this kid is not so easy to meet with, and he is provoked in person.
Don't make a sound!"
If it weren't for the busy military service of the Eighth Corps, Dingbei Hou could not leave, he would even want to go to those territories to slap in the face. This is his favorite thing to do.
Wang Shuangyang was different from Dingbei Hou. After laughing, he began to urge the people below. Jiang Xingchen asked him to help inquire about Anyang's background.
"This kid is really not at a loss! I just took half a pound of tea. He had to use me to make up for it at one time... I can think of such a method, and even if I didn't expect it, this
The boy actually has such a trick!"
When Wang Shuangyang smiled and shook his head, the servants reported it and found out that Anyang was a small business in the Kingdom of Dali.
"Huh?" Wang Shuangyang was a little stunned. Isn't this nonsense in the small business in the Dali Kingdom? Small business can open fifteen kite gardens in the Qiankun Empire.
"Is this the news you are inquiring about?" Wang Shuangyang was dissatisfied.
"Dude, we can only find out that Anyang has some relationship with the right prime minister of the Dali Kingdom, and we will not be able to check it any further!" The subordinate reached.
"Yeah!" Wang Shuangyang couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Even the right prime minister of the Dali Kingdom would not have the courage to play against Jiang Xingchen in the Qiankun Empire...
After a while, Wang Shuangyang waved his hand and asked his subordinates to retreat. Then he wrote a letter in person and sent it to Jiang Xingchen.
At the same time, even the senior officials of the Empire knew about the discussion about Star Monthly. They were a little scared of Jiang Xingchen's methods. It was incredible that the other party's provocative behavior became a helper for publicity and development.
This kid is only nineteen years old. If it takes a few more years, then...
The emperor in the imperial palace was also pondering. From the moment Jiang Xingchen used this method, he vaguely felt something, but he could not catch it.
After thinking for a long time, the Emperor finally sighed and shook his head...
That night, Jiang Xingchen received a letter from Wang Shuangyang and frowned.
Like the Duke of Wang, Anyang is just a small business, and he doesn't believe it if he kills him. The investment in fifteen kite gardens alone is not a small amount, and the small business can support it. Even if the other party has a relationship with the right prime minister of the Dali Kingdom
, the possibility is not high. It is impossible for the king of Dali Kingdom to do this.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xingchen sent a letter to the Wang family in Linhai City. Find out what businesses Anyang does, first suppress them from the business, see their funds, and find out which force is behind them.
What Jiang Xingchen didn't know was that at the same time as his news was sent, a seven-story treasure ship far away on the sea sent out the same letter, with the target of Dali Kingdom. (To be continued...)
