Chapter 212 The layout before entering Beijing (Part 2)
"Do you have any ideas about the newspaper I mentioned last time?" Chen Ping asked.
"Ah?" Ye Chongwen looked a little dodgey and said, "I'm still thinking about this..."
In fact, he hasn't figured out what a newspaper is yet. He just thinks of it as a collection of essays and interesting stories, just like an ordinary book.
Chen Ping's eyes were cunning, and he took out two more pieces of paper from his sleeves.
"If you don't have any ideas, here are some suggestions."
Seeing this, Ye Chongwen took it and asked excitedly: "Does this newspaper have any effect?"
"Of course it works, and it's very useful!"
Chen Ping explained: "A lot of words make a fortune, but a lot of people destroy their bones. Most of the reports in the official newspaper were made by crotches, and the scholars were given the right to read them. But in this world... ordinary people still make up the most."
”
He Qingxuan also fell into silence and thought after hearing this.
"Yes, although these court officials have great power, farmers and workers account for 80% of the world." Ye Chongwen is also a smart man. "And my newspaper can convey news in plain and easy-to-understand vernacular!"
Chen Ping laughed, "Yes, but this is just one of them."
"Secondly, this newspaper can also make money."
"How do you make money from this?" Ye Chongwen was stunned.
"You only need to open an 'advertising space' in each newspaper, giving merchants the right to advertise widely, and collect commissions. The newspaper will be spread all over Qianzhou in the first year, and sales will increase in the second year
In terms of coverage, in the third year you can completely learn from Tianxiangge and try it out in various states. Including the folk anecdotes you want to collect, it can also be used to analyze the consumer price index, so as not to be unable to react to the depreciation of money in the future..."<
/p>
"Wait a minute!" Ye Chongwen quickly interrupted, "What is the consumer price index?"
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment. It was only because he was too immersed in what he was talking about that all the terms from his previous life popped up. He quickly explained: "It is used to evaluate the changes in the daily living costs of ordinary people. If this index rises, it means that prices are rising. People's
Purchasing power declines. Once this index is higher than 34%, money becomes worthless..."
Economics is too complicated and can only be explained briefly.
Ye Chongwen suddenly realized, "It's just the price of goods! It scared me to death. I almost thought I was listening to a book from heaven."
He Qingxuan burst into laughter. He also understood some of these things, but he was not as systematic as Chen Ping said.
Chen Ping also laughed. After preparing for so long, he simply summed up the price.
In order for Ye Chongwen to absorb knowledge, Chen Ping directly popularized several other "heavenly books"
For example, unemployment rate, price index, etc.
This immediately stunned Ye Chongwen, and Chen Ping left the He Mansion in a comfortable mood.
Ye Chongwen held his head and roared, and said to He Qingxuan: "Why don't you understand this?!"
"My task is even heavier," He Qingxuan said with a proud look on his face, "Just study these indices slowly, haha."
Chen Ping left He Mansion and came to the inn where Luo Li was staying.
"Are you looking for me?" Luo Li was tasting fairy dew.
"Well," Chen Ping asked with a smile, "Do you want to go to Kowloon Hall?"
Luo Li looked at his stern expression, put down the glass of wine without much thought, and said calmly: "Let's go."
In Jiulong Hall, the whole courtyard was full of people, and Zhao Jin was also packing up his things.
They had bought a courtyard outside the capital a long time ago. The fifth hall leader packed up several large cars and prepared to station near the capital.
"Brother Zhao."
"You're here."
Zhao Jin put down the things in his hands and glanced behind Chen Ping, "Hey, I didn't bother to invite you before, but you are willing to come this time?"
Luo Li said calmly, "There are too many people in your Jiulong Hall, which is troublesome."
Chen Ping couldn't help laughing, "It seems you have a good relationship?"
"Whoever has a good relationship with him," Luo Li said sternly, "he is my defeated general."
"Ah?" Chen Ping didn't know what happened.
"You kid," Zhao Jin couldn't laugh or cry, "Isn't it just that I invited you over for a meal during the Chinese New Year and just passed two tricks, can you still be considered a winner or loser?"
"Of course it counts!"
Luo Li only knew that he had won and the leader of Jiulong Hall had lost.
Chen Ping couldn't help but smile and shook his head, saying: "Brother Zhao, I have business with you, let's go in and talk."
"Okay," Zhao Jin turned around and walked inside, "I guess you will come over too."
Jiulong Church previously only developed in Qianzhou, but now it needs to expand externally as planned and set up branch churches in various places. It definitely needs to be reorganized.
"Brother Zhao guessed it?" Chen Ping walked into the inner hall and said: "I want Jiulong Hall to set up branch halls along the way to Beijing, and first connect the line between Qianzhou and Beijing to facilitate our future contact.
."
"The branch of Tianxiang Pavilion is a merchant, which is a bit eye-catching on the surface. Brother Zhao, you come from a world of martial arts, so I want to set up another line secretly."
Zhao Jin came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Is that what you mentioned before, building a team dedicated to secretly snooping for information?"
"Yes. We need such a team to lurk, explore, and collect." Chen Ping believes that the degree of mastery and timeliness of clues may determine the key to future victory or defeat.
Zhao Jin thought for a while and said, "Originally, I planned to let the third and fourth children go out. The fifth child should be responsible for forming this team."
"But this requires a long period of training and must be kept strictly confidential. Do we have to hire someone who is trustworthy and good at this to be the instructor? I wonder if Brother Zhao has a suitable candidate?" Chen Ping said solemnly.
If things are done well, it will be a great help, but if they are not done well, it will be a great harm.
"Is this..." Zhao Jin suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After all, all he knew were green forest people, and he had never come into contact with such highly professional experts.
"I know him." At this time, Luo Li suddenly said.
"Oh? Brother Luo has someone suitable? What kind of person?" Chen Ping asked curiously.
"Lying, spying, reconnaissance, and disguise are all fine. Dayu can't find anyone better than him." Luo Li held the tea cup in his hand and said casually.
"So powerful? How does your martial arts compare to yours?" Zhao Jin suddenly became interested.
"My martial arts skills are not as good as mine, and I am not as good as him in secret affairs." Luo Li made an objective evaluation.
Luo Li's words hit exactly what Chen Ping wanted.
"Does this person have a name?" Chen Ping asked again.
"I've been told that he is a master of secret affairs, how can he have a reputation? But many scouts in the army were trained by him."
Zhao Jin was startled, "A scout in the army, is he a member of the army?"
"No." Luo Li smiled and said confidently, "But if he wants to sneak into the palace, it shouldn't be difficult."
"Hiss..." Chen Ping fell to the ground and let out a cold breath. He knew that Luo Li couldn't tell lies. It seemed that the man was indeed very good. He quickly asked: "If we invite him, will he come?"<
/p>
It’s probably not that easy to invite such a rare master in the world, and to train a private team.
"If I open my mouth, he will come." Luo Li gave Chen Ping a reassurance.
But he turned to look at Chen Ping and Zhao Jin, and asked: "I just gave it to you, do you dare to use it?"
"As long as you give it to someone," Zhao Jin sat up straight, "I dare to use it!"
Chen Ping also nodded, "Don't doubt the people you trust, don't trust the people you employ. I believe in you!"
Luo Li put down the teacup and smiled.
"Okay!"
"Thank you Brother Luo for your full support." Chen Ping stood up happily after settling a major matter before leaving, "I wonder when this expert will arrive?"
Luo Li was silent for a while and replied: "Within ten days, I will tell him the location of Kowloon Hall."
"There is no need to go to Jiulong Hall," Zhao Jin also quickly formulated a plan, "I will let Lao Wu select the elite people and then send them to the designated place without contact with other people."
"Yes, this matter must be carried out secretly to avoid knowing the scope." Chen Ping then added, "The training location can be chosen in a township in Yongshun County. After all, we are all very familiar with it, and the fifth hall master will be told to the outside world to expand new areas.
Freight route."
Kowloon Hall needs more business to maintain its operation, and this reason is justified.
Even if someone wants to check, nothing can be found.
In the end, the three of them finalized the secret plan, including the venue, number of people, expenses, etc.
